Was that really necessary?
Lin Yuan grumbled inwardly.
He had enough self-awareness not to be arrogant enough to think the Federation would truly start a war for him.
They had probably already intended to put Sin Planet in its place and had merely used the War God Temple as an excuse.
Lin Yuan muttered to himself, but since this was still, in a way, for his sake, he was quite moved.
At that thought, Lin Yuan stood up and yawned. "Uncle Ye, if he really is the Eternal Night Monarch, I'll leave him to you. I'm a little tired, so I'm heading home first."
"Tired? Is something wrong with your body?" Ye Feng immediately became nervous.
"Uh, no. I'm just sleepy."
Only then did Ye Feng relax, nodding with a smile. "Then go get some rest first. Oh, right."
Lin Yuan had just started to leave when he heard Ye Feng call out to him and turned back.
Ye Feng explained at length, "Tomorrow or the day after, the military will probably come looking for you. Of course, the best-case scenario would be for you to call me first, Little Lin. But don't be nervous. You only need to explain what happened."
Explain what happened?
Lin Yuan muttered inwardly. It probably would not be a big deal. The Eternal Night Monarch's mind had already been utterly wrecked, and there had been no second eyewitness at the scene.
With that in mind, Lin Yuan nodded and waved to Ye Feng.
"Alright, I'm leaving then, Uncle Ye."
On his way home, Lin Yuan encountered no obstructions at all. He even saw conspicuous signs at intersections reading, "Road Ahead Restricted, Vehicles Detour."
Just as Lin Yuan wondered what had happened, four military soul-guided vehicles drove onto the road and surrounded him in formation.
