Above the sky, the pale blue light gate slowly dissipated.

Lin Ye, carrying the little bag, landed steadily on a patch of slightly hard ground marked with frost.

He quickly glanced around.

In the distance, the towering city wall, like a lurking black beast, silently stretches across the leaden sky.

They could even make out the tiny figures of soldiers on the city wall, as small as ants, and several large flaming military flags fluttering in the cold wind.

Nearby, the fields are empty and desolate after the harvest, with withered rice stubble still remaining on the ridges.

That city wall...

Lin Ye had seen it in the fragments of Ye Fan's remaining memories; within those city walls lay the power center of the Great Flame Kingdom.

The Great Flame Capital.

Shu Jingwei and Yao Jingyuan, those two scumbags, are among them right now, perhaps high above, enjoying everything they've stolen.

Ye Fan's remains... shouldn't be too far from the capital.

……

Meanwhile, in the Great Flame Kingdom, beneath the heavens...

Millions of people are still reeling from the shock and bewilderment of "Immortal Lin" stepping into the portal with the little princess in his arms and disappearing without a trace.

Suddenly, the screen lit up again, but what appeared was no longer the strange world of sunshine, beaches, and waves, but...

[Commoner Chen Hu: Wait! Look! That's...that's the capital city wall!]

[Commoner Liu Shu: Good heavens! It really is the capital! I recognize the city walls, the gates, and the flags!]

[Commoner Zhang Niu: Immortal Lin... Immortal Lin has arrived in our Great Yan with the First Princess!? They've arrived outside the capital!?]

[Commoners in the capital: Is this...is this real? Am I dreaming? One second we were in that heavenly realm, and the next we're here?!]

[Hanlin Academy Academician Yang Feng: Immortal magic! It truly is immortal magic! Shrinking the earth to an inch, bringing the ends of the earth within reach!]

……

After a brief silence, like cold water being poured into a pot of boiling oil, the entire Great Flame Kingdom erupted into chaos!

Whether in the fields, the streets, or the deep mountain villages, everyone looked up, staring at the incredibly familiar sky against the backdrop of the canopy.

At this point, the officers and soldiers no longer cared about arresting the civilians; they were terrified themselves.

Many people who were secretly watching from their homes were so excited that they trembled all over and their faces turned red. Some even knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly to the sky.

"Immortal Lin! Immortal Lin has descended!"

"Heaven has eyes! Heaven has eyes! It has sent a celestial being to save us!"

"That dog emperor and that corrupt official Yao's good days are over!"

Excitement, ecstasy, disbelief, fervent anticipation...

A torrent of emotions erupted like a volcano, instantly engulfing the entire Great Flame Kingdom.

Unlike the illusory feeling of watching from afar and envying the fairyland before, Lin Ye is now truly and vividly appearing on the familiar land of the Great Flame Kingdom, outside the capital city!

At that moment, countless oppressed people seemed to see a ray of light piercing through the darkness—

Are the gods coming to save them?!

……

Inside the palace, Shu Jingwei had recovered.

She opened her eyes and looked up.

The image on the screen shows Lin Ye and Xiao Douzi!

To her horror, she immediately recognized the towering silhouette faintly visible in the background of the scene—

That's the main gate of the capital city wall!

Lin Ye and his group... are actually near the capital!?

She narrowed her eyes, almost bursting into laughter.

Okay! Great!

She was worried about not being able to find Lin Ye, but she never expected that this fiend would dare to show his face and even come to the capital!

She's truly blessed!

"Guards!!!" Shu Jingwei no longer cared about Yao Jingyuan or the purge plan. She turned around abruptly and shouted at the Imperial Guard commander and his trusted eunuch who had rushed over upon hearing the news.

Her originally beautiful face was distorted by extreme excitement and murderous intent.

"Send for troops! Immediately mobilize all the Imperial Guards and the Imperial Bodyguards! Send them out of the city to arrest him! Hurry! We cannot let that sorcerer escape!"

She suddenly thought of the live broadcast effect on the screen, and the cruel smile on her face widened even further.

"I will go myself! I will seize this sorcerer in front of the entire world and tear this wicked monster who wreaks havoc on the court and bewitches people to pieces!!"

She wanted to execute Lin Ye in the most cruel way possible and bring her daughter back!

She wanted the whole world to know that she was the one destined for greatness!

Her imperial power is inviolable!

Anyone who dares to challenge her authority will only face death!

Yao Jingyuan was also standing not far away, looking up at the sky, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw Shu Jingwei's crazy reaction.

His usually calm face revealed a deep sense of surprise and solemnity.

Lin Ye actually dared to come?

This guy looks like a tough opponent, but...

Shu Jingwei, that foolish woman, has been completely enraged and has lost her mind. This is indeed an opportunity...

His eyes flickered, and he quietly retreated, quickly disappearing into the chaotic crowd.

At this moment, preserving our strength, observing the situation, letting them fight it out, and then reaping the benefits is the best strategy.

……

On the sky, Lin Ye didn't hesitate for a moment and immediately took out the warm and smooth [Finding Person Activation Stone].

The stone felt slightly cool to the touch. He closed his eyes and focused his mind, conjuring up Ye Fan's image and smile in his mind—

That cheerful and open smile that seemed to dispel all gloom, those eyes that were always filled with determination and warmth, that upright and sturdy back that seemed capable of bearing all hardships...

Old Ye, I'm here.

Tell me where you are.

As if sensing the intense longing and calling in his heart, the Search Stone in his palm trembled slightly, and a soft yet firm milky-white beam of light shone forth.

A beam of light, solid as a tangible substance, snaked its way out from the top of the stone, pointing straight in one direction—Qingfeng Mountain!

Lin Ye opened his eyes, his gaze following the light, his eyes sharp as knives.

Qingfeng Mountain...

With a thought, the radiant flying sword instantly appeared in front of him, emitting a clear and melodious sword sound, and hovered steadily.

"Hold on tight, little one, we're going to find your father." Lin Ye whispered to the little one who was nervously clinging to his neck, his voice gentle yet firm.

Little Douzi nodded vigorously, buried her face in his neck, and gripped his neck even tighter.

Lin Ye stepped onto the flying sword.

"boom!"

A soft but powerful whooshing sound rang out.

Under the gaze of countless horrified eyes, Lin Ye, carrying the little dumpling, was carried into the sky by the flying sword!

It then transformed into a dazzling golden streak of light, hurtling towards Green Wind Mountain!

In the Great Flame Kingdom, whether it was the common people, the officials and soldiers, or Shu Jingwei who had just rushed out of the palace gates on horseback, or Yao Jingyuan who was also riding behind her on horseback, everyone was present.

Everyone who witnessed this scene was stunned, their minds blank!

Flying on a sword!?

This method, which only exists in legends, actually exists?!

After a brief silence, commotion broke out everywhere, and the barrage of comments exploded.

[Commoner Yang Tu: A god! Immortal Lin is indeed a true immortal descended to earth!!]

[Commoner Wang Xiao: It's flying!! This is... the legendary sword flight!]

[Commoner Niu Da: My God! I dare say Lin Xianren isn't a god now!! This is flying on a sword!]

……

Meanwhile, the army behind Shu Jingwei began to stir restlessly.

Many soldiers' hands, gripping their weapons, trembled slightly, and their eyes, fixed on the golden light, were filled with fear.

Flying on a sword! Only true immortals can do that!

They're going to capture the gods!?

How could that possibly be possible...?

Shu Jingwei was also stunned. She sat on her horse, head tilted back, staring intently at the golden streak rushing across the sky.

The cruel smile on his face froze, replaced by a twisted expression that was a mixture of horror, rage, and disbelief.

This fiend...this fiend can actually fly?!

At that moment, the people made a new discovery.

[Commoner Niu Sisi: That direction is... Qingfeng Mountain? What's on Qingfeng Mountain? It seems like just a mass grave?]

[Commoner Li Wenwen: Strange, what is Immortal Lin doing there with the First Princess?]

[Commoner Zhang Dada: That place is incredibly eerie; nobody dares to go near it on ordinary days!]

……

Yao Jingyuan's right eyelid twitched violently when he saw these comments.

Qingfeng Mountain!?

That is……

He ordered the place where Ye Fan's remains were disposed of!

A very ominous premonition suddenly surged into his heart.

What exactly is Lin Ye going to do?!
