Arrival at the Imperial Capital
Several days later, outside the Imperial Capital. ¤¸¸.•´¯`•¸¸.•..>> <<..•.¸¸•´¯`•.¸¸¤
A carriage, several fine horses, and a leopard that was entirely black without a single blemish. Sitting on the leopard was a young man dressed in a simple robe.
"Lin Feng, look." Sessler, riding his steed, pointed to a distant mountain with several peaks. "That's the world-famous War God Mountain. The War God Sect is located on that mountain."
"War God Sect?" Lin Feng's eyes lit up.
Whether in his past life or this one, Lin Feng had always admired the War God Sect. Now that he saw it, he was indeed impressed by its grandeur.
But in an instant, Lin Feng became sentimental again.
"If nothing unexpected happens, decades from now, War God Mountain, along with all the Saint Realm experts of the War God Sect, will be utterly crushed by the masters who escaped from Gebados Prison!"
Although Lin Feng looked down on Martial War God O'Brien, a Lowgod who Refine Divine Spark and acted like a mystic all day, he still had some goodwill towards the few Saint Realm experts in the War God Sect.
Lin Feng turned his head away from War God Mountain; no matter how good War God Mountain was, it was still War God Mountain.
"The Imperial Capital, Chiyan City." Looking eastward, one can already see that colossal city, arguably the most imposing in the land. The sheer size of Chiyan City is comparable only to the Imperial Capital of the Yulan Empire.
Chiyan City is solemn, simple, and unpretentious.
"The Imperial Capital of the strongest nation, the gathering place of masters Chiyan City." A smile played on Lin Feng's lips as he and his group entered Lin Feng Chiyan City under the sunlight.
On this day, no important figures paid any attention to this group of people.
Little did they know the immense turmoil this group would unleash upon the entire O'Brien Empire.
"Haha, as expected of the Imperial Capital of the O'Brien Empire, even the streets are so wide." Barker laughed heartily, and Lin Feng laughed too.
Lin Feng and his group walked right in the middle of the main street of the Imperial Capital.
Barker and the others had already dismounted, carrying their weapons—those terrifying long-handled giant axes—on their backs. During the journey, they had kept these axes in Lin Feng's Space Ring, as the axes were simply too heavy for the horses to carry.
"What a strong person."
Many people in the Imperial Capital made way for them; the Barker Five Brothers standing together were terrifying. They were all around 2.2 meters tall, with broad backs and thick waists, and were incredibly strong. Moreover, they all carried long-handled giant axes that gleamed with a cold metallic luster.
This massive, long-handled axe, even if forged from steel, would probably weigh several hundred to nearly a thousand pounds. Moreover, judging by its color, it's clearly not an ordinary weapon. Who would dare wield such a heavy weapon without considerable strength?
And there was that leopard, its entire body completely black without a single blemish.
The people in the Imperial Capital had never seen such a leopard before. This was an ability that the Black-Striped Cloud Leopard possessed after reaching the Saint Realm, allowing it to easily change the color of its fur.
"Fushi Road." Lin Feng knew Wharton's address, and the group headed straight for Fushi Road in the East City.
"I bet Lord Blumer will eventually marry Princess Nina."
Lin Feng suddenly stopped, thinking to himself, "So, Blumer really did propose to Joanne after all."
"Nonsense. I bet Lord Wharton will marry Princess Nina in the end. Princess Nina and Lord Wharton have been together for a long time."
"That's not necessarily true. Don't you know Lord Blumer's status? He's a direct disciple of the War God."
"Sir?" Barker said in a low voice.
Lin Feng remained silent for a while.
Barker and the others all looked at Lin Feng.
"Let's go," Lin Feng said.

Lin Feng and his group arrived at Fushi Road in the East City. Every mansion on Fushi Road was owned by a nobleman, and there were relatively few people on Fushi Road.
Walking along the empty Fushi Road, Lin Feng carefully examined the signs of each mansion.
"It's right over there." Lin Feng's eyes lit up.
The two guards, who had been chatting idly, suddenly saw Lin Feng and his group approaching and immediately became alert, especially noticing the powerful physiques of the Barker Five Brothers.
"He's definitely as tall as the Earl, and even stronger." The two guards were somewhat astonished.
"Who are you?" one of the guards shouted, mustering his courage.
Gates was the first to speak loudly, "Is this the Earl of Wharton's residence?"
"Yes." The guard nodded.
Upon hearing this, Lin Feng felt a surge of excitement, his heart even racing. So many years had passed; Wharton had left home at the age of six, and in just a few days it would be a full seventeen years.
Seventeen years!
Lin Feng smiled and said, "Go and spread the word that his elder Lin Feng, has arrived." Hearing this, the two guards were surprised. Earl Wharton's brother? They had never heard of him before.
But the two guards were perceptive; the group of people before them looked intimidating. They dared not say anything, and one of the guards respectfully said, "Please wait a moment, I will go and report."
Lin Feng took a deep breath to calm himself down.
"Lin Feng, is this your brother's residence?" Sessler walked over and said with a smile, "It seems your brother is doing quite well in the Imperial Capital."
Lin Feng couldn't help but feel a surge of pride.
Butler Hiri and Hillman were drinking and chatting when a guard rushed over. "Lord Hiri, a group of people have arrived outside. The leader says he's Wharton's brother, named Lin Feng."
"Crack!" The wine glass in the Hiri's hand fell onto the stone slab and shattered.
"Lin Feng!"
The butler, Hiri, and Hillman both stood up almost simultaneously. They stared at each other, their eyes wide with shock and surprise.
"Go, go. Go quickly and inform the Earl," Hiri immediately instructed.
Then Hiri and Hillman rushed outside. Seeing that the butler Hiri was in such a bad mood, the guard knew that the matter was important and immediately ran to the Training Ground.
Hiri and Hillman soon arrived at the front yard. Once inside, they slowed their pace and looked around more carefully.
The five incredibly strong men, each carrying a massive axe, instilled a sense of dread in them. Beside them stood an old man, his hair and beard all white, so thin he resembled a skeleton, his eerie green eyes sending chills down their spines.
On the contrary, the three beautiful women beside me brought me joy.
As for the one at the front, "Lin Feng!" Hillman was the first to speak, while the butler "Hiri" was still carefully observing Lin Feng, and after a moment of recognition, she exclaimed with delight, "Young Master Lin Feng!"
Lin Feng, who was talking to Sessler, turned around to look.
Looking at Grandpa Hiri with his rosacea, whom he remembered so well, and Uncle Hillman, Lin Feng felt an overwhelming surge of excitement.
"Grandpa Hiri, Uncle Hillman." Lin Feng stepped into the courtyard, his eyes a little moist.
The butler, Hiri, walked to Lin Feng's side, her eyes reddening. "You've grown up, you've grown up, Young Master Lin Feng is even taller than before." It had been seventeen years since Hiri had seen Lin Feng.
When he took Wharton away, Lin Feng was only ten years old.
"Grandpa Hiri, you're still the same as before." Lin Feng's joy was beyond words.
