Long Shaoze stared blankly as Mu Rufeng departed.

Without dwelling on it too much, he immediately directed the army to surround the fleeing Barbarian forces.

He also ordered the highly mobile cavalry to flank from both sides and let the strong warriors freely hunt down the escaping soldiers.

With the strength of these leaders, they were certainly capable of stopping some of them.

After giving some instructions, Long Shaoze headed towards Mei Mountain.

However, when he reached the area covered by the Rule, he was completely dumbfounded.

The dense and terrifying aura emanating from the Thunder Fire Explosive Technique fireballs.

This aura made his heart tremble, knowing that death was certain.

Long Shaoze quickly retreated and then started to advance towards Mei Mountain along the edge.

But, finding that there were terrifying fireballs no matter where he looked, an exasperated Long Shaoze had no choice but to traverse mountains and fly up from the other side of Mei Mountain.

Luckily he could fly, otherwise, it would have been a huge waste of time.

After spending some time, he made his way up the mountain from the other side.

Just as he hadn't yet entered the range of the black mist, the figure of Mu Rufeng suddenly appeared before him.

"General Mu, are you..."

"It's nothing, I just want General Long to Forget a few things," Mu Rufeng said with a faint smile on his face.

He quickly exerted his ability "Forget."

Forget wasn't just about making others forget the presence of the user, but could also specifically make them forget certain memories.

...

"Has there been any movement from the Barbarian army?" Han Zhen asked upon seeing Mu Rufeng's return.

Though Mu Rufeng had not mentioned he went down the mountain, Han Zhen could easily guess.

"No movement," Mu Rufeng said.

"No movement is good; this way we can peacefully seal this place."

"In that case, the people of Great Xia can rest easy," Han Zhen said with a smile.

"You all carry on; I'm a bit hungry, you wouldn't mind if I grab something to eat, right?" Mu Rufeng suddenly said.

Having used Potential Burst and "You Die, I Live" several times, he was exhausted.

Indeed, his stomach was growling with hunger.

"Of course we don't mind, help yourself," Zhao Qing said with a smile.

Mu Rufeng nodded and then came to a large rock.

In no time at all, he transformed the rock into a stone table and several stone chairs.

Then Mu Rufeng laid out a tablecloth and placed some soul banknotes on top.

A tableful of delicacies soon appeared before Mu Rufeng.

——

Before they knew it, more than an hour had passed.

Mu Rufeng, who was resting on a recliner, suddenly opened his eyes.

He saw a Mysterious Array instantly take shape, and the Emperor Sword descended from the sky, stabbing directly into the mouth of the well.

The Emperor Sword now served as the focal point of the Array, the central point used to suppress the well's opening.

"It's finally complete," Han Zhen descended from mid-air, his face showing a smile.

The expressions of the three of them gradually relaxed.

"Let's go, we've delayed enough; let's enter the Capital to have an audience with the Emperor," Han Zhen said to the others.

"Do I need to go too?" Mu Rufeng asked.

"Of course, General Mu made outstanding contributions in this battle. You will join me in having an audience with the Emperor, and he will surely grant you a reward," Han Zhen said.

"Okay," Mu Rufeng instantly agreed.

"Vice General Long, take the Northern Army and the Demon Suppression Army back within the border, and have the Demon Suppression Army temporarily stationed at He Valley Pass."

"As for the subsequent orders, I'll inform you after having an audience with the Emperor," Han Zhen said.

"Yes, Great General!" Long Shaoze saluted.

Having learnt about the battle with the Barbarian army from Long Shaoze, Han Zhen knew the great merit Mu Rufeng truly had.

Mu Rufeng descended Mei Mountain and instructed Lv Sanshan and the others to defend He Valley Pass while waiting for further commands, and also retrieved the items he had lent to them.

This time the four of them didn't fly.

Indeed, flying was quite draining, so they chose to ride horses.

These were no ordinary horses, but Exotic Beasts known as Lin Horses.

The Lin Horse was extremely fast and ran with great stability, easily treading over rough terrain as if it were flat ground, and had incredible stamina, capable of running for a whole day and night without rest.

The distance to Imperial City was about five hundred kilometers; at the speed of Lin Horses, they would arrive in just three hours.

It was Mu Rufeng's first time riding a horse, and he found it quite novel.

Wait... hold on, it seemed that this wasn't his first time riding a horse; the first time he rode was Li Linna?

——

At four in the afternoon, the four entered the Imperial City, covered in dust and weary from travel.

This Imperial City was incredibly vast, many times larger than the ancient Capital.

The walls of the Capital were ten zhang high and were engraved with Mysterious Runes that flickered intermittently.

They entered the Imperial City without any delay and went directly to the Imperial Palace, not through the main gate, but a side gate.

After presenting the Token, they were escorted by a eunuch and a team of Imperial guards towards the palace interior.

Seven or eight minutes later, they arrived in front of a grand hall.

This wasn't the main hall, but where the Emperor reviewed memorials.

The little eunuch initially wanted Han Zhen and the others to wait outside while he went to report, but at that moment an old eunuch came out from the grand hall.

"The Generals, the Emperor invites you."

"Greetings, Eunuch Cheng," Han Zhen saluted the old eunuch.

Mu Rufeng followed suit, saluting respectfully.
