In less than half a month, Prince Xue Xing, with his swift and decisive methods, completely replaced Lin Ye’s subordinates at the border.

This news quickly reached the Shenlong Sect.

At that time, Lin Ye, Lin Feng, and the elders had returned to the Shenlong Sect.

They were now gathered in the spacious and solemn council hall of the Shenlong Sect.

Candlelight flickered in the hall, reflecting the solemn faces of everyone present.

“Xiaofeng, what exactly do they mean by this?”

Second Uncle Lin Wuming’s face was full of anger, his hands clenched into fists, his knuckles white, his voice trembling slightly with rage.

“First, they stripped the head of the family of his general’s position, and now they’ve replaced all of the head of the family’s confidants.”

“It’s clear that the royal family is trying to create obstacles and give us, the Shenlong Sect, a hard time because of the last industrial transaction!”

As he spoke, he paced back and forth, his steps heavy, as if each step would pierce through the ground.

“Hey, Wuming.”

Lin Ye looked calm, slowly waved his hand, and wore a touch of indifference after experiencing the vicissitudes of life.

“Thinking about it, this isn’t entirely a bad thing. We are all old people and have been running around for half our lives.”

“Now, being able to go home, spend time with our children, and enjoy family happiness, isn’t that also a kind of blessing?”

He looked up slightly, his eyes piercing through the roof, as if he saw the figures of the younger generation at home, and the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously.

“I’m just afraid that the royal family’s ambitions don’t stop there.”

Third Elder, an old man who had recently returned from traveling abroad, stroked his gray beard, frowned, and said worriedly.

“Head of the family, sect master, recently, there have been rumors in our medical community that many people have been secretly arrested by His Highness Xue Xing and taken to the palace.”

“As for what they are supposed to do, the soldiers responsible for the arrests are extremely tight-lipped, and no one has revealed any information.”

Then, the Third Elder continued to speak to the others.

“Xue Xing?”

“Why is he grabbing people from your medical community?”

Dugu Bo, who had been standing silently to the side, suddenly raised his head upon hearing this, a sharp light flashing in his eyes.

At this moment, Lin Feng, who had been sitting in the main seat and remained silent, gradually turned ashen.

He bit his lower lip tightly, and a surge of anger quietly ignited in his chest.

The royal family’s series of actions were by no means accidental.

“Father, elders, grandfather, please rest here for a while, I’ll be right back.”

Lin Feng suppressed the anger in his heart and tried to keep his tone calm.

After saying that, he strode out of the hall.

“Instantaneous Movement.”

As Lin Feng chanted silently, in an instant, his figure disappeared from the spot in a flash of light.

With the ability of instantaneous movement, Lin Feng arrived at the imperial palace of Tiandou City in a few short breaths.

In the palace, guards patrolled back and forth, and the atmosphere was stern.

Lin Feng flashed and avoided the guards’ sight.

“Where is your newly built medical hall? Tell me quickly!”

While shuttling through the palace, he grabbed a passing eunuch, his eyes narrowed, and he asked in a low voice.

The little eunuch was so frightened that he trembled all over, and stammered to point out the direction.

Knowing the direction, Lin Feng knocked the little eunuch unconscious and quickly ran towards the Imperial Medical Hall.

When he concealed his figure and entered the hall to investigate.

He saw rows of tall shelves neatly placed with bottles and jars, filled with various rare herbs, emitting a strong medicinal fragrance.

Many physicians in white robes were busy walking through the shelves, holding jars in their hands, their expressions anxious.

“This Prince Xue Xing is too harsh, he actually wants us to develop an antidote that can relieve Dugu Bo’s poison from acting up for half a month.”

One physician wiped the sweat from his forehead while complaining in a low voice.

“That’s right, that’s right.”

“Isn’t Dugu Bo always the emperor’s guest, and has a close relationship with the royal family?”

“Why does Prince Xue Xing look like he wants to attack Dugu Bo now?”

Another physician echoed, his eyes full of doubt and worry.

The conversations of the few people clearly reached Lin Feng’s ears.

Hearing this, Lin Feng’s heart trembled.

It seemed that the royal family’s arrest of these people in the medical community was indeed to create an antidote to relieve his grandfather’s poison.

Combined with the changes that had taken place at the border, it was obvious that the royal family was going to attack the Shenlong Sect!

Lin Feng raised his eyes and looked around, his brows furrowed, and he quickly analyzed the situation in his heart.

With his current strength as a Titled Douluo, if the royal family really brought a large army to bear down on them, it would indeed be difficult to resist with the strength of the Shenlong Sect alone.

At present, the most urgent task was to fully improve his soul power and the overall strength of the sect within the time that the royal family was preparing.

Lin Feng quietly left the medical hall and used Instantaneous Movement again to return to the Shenlong Sect.

At this time, the Second Uncle and others were still talking in the council hall.

“Xiaofeng, you’re back!”

Second Uncle Lin Wuming saw Lin Feng’s figure, immediately stood up, and quickly greeted him.

“Yes, I just got some news.”

“The people arrested by the royal family are configuring an antidote that can relieve Grandfather’s poison.”

Lin Feng said with a solemn expression as he walked inside.

Everyone trembled when they heard this, and the expressions on their faces instantly became solemn.

There was silence in the hall, and only the crackling sound of the burning candles could be heard clearly.

“Hmph, this is obviously a rhythm to attack our Shenlong Sect.”

Second Uncle Lin Wuming took the lead in breaking the silence, glared angrily, and said fiercely.

“The royal family is bullying us too much!”

Lin Ye, who had always been loyal to the royal family, also stood up at this moment, clenched his fists, thumped his chest, and the anger on his face was overflowing.

He could still accept the royal family’s dismissal of his position earlier.

But now that the royal family had set its sights on the Shenlong Sect and the Lin family, this was the bottom line he could never tolerate.

Lin Feng walked to his seat and sat down, his eyes slowly swept over everyone, and finally landed on Poison Douluo Dugu Bo.

Regarding the past between Dugu Bo and Xue Xing, he was now waiting for Dugu Bo’s statement.

“Xiaofeng, there’s no need to say anything.”

Dugu Bo met Lin Feng’s gaze and slowly opened his mouth:

“Since the royal family has chosen to face us with swords, then let’s fight to our heart’s content.”

“Over the years, I have done my best for the royal family, and what I have done is enough to repay Xue Xing’s kindness.”

“Now, I am willing to live and die with the Shenlong Sect!”

As he spoke, he stood up, and a powerful aura emanated from his body.

“Good!”

“Now, with the current strength of our sect, if we confront the empire’s army head-on, I am afraid that we will face tremendous pressure.”

“I think that while the royal family is preparing to attack, we must fully develop the sect and improve the overall strength of the sect as soon as possible.”

Lin Feng suddenly stood up, his eyes as firm as torches, and looked at everyone present, and said loudly.

Everyone nodded in agreement, their eyes shining with firm light.
