Chapter 897: Multiple Fronts of Attack

From the current atmosphere, Lin Nuo was no longer the same as when he was in the Lin family; he seemed to possess a far greater strength.

Back then, he had no aura and lacked the presence of a strong warrior, but now, though they were at a distance, just a small step forward from him felt like a powerful force pressing in.

This force made Lin Qian, who had a bit of pride, feel a tinge of fear.

This kind of pressure…

Even the hand gripping her sword trembled involuntarily. She tried to suppress this cowardice, but it seemed impossible; her hand continued to shake.

Besides her, the Lin family attendants felt an incredible inner dread; even Lin Yuan felt the same.

“Lin Nuo, why are you doing this? Can you tell me?”

“You have no right to know.”

Lin Nuo replied coldly and continued walking, showing no intention of attacking them, as Xia Hanmo had previously instructed him not to cause trouble or engage in battle with them, especially with his father, Lin Yuan. She knew that Lin Nuo didn’t really like him, but after all, he was his biological father. She certainly didn’t want the child to commit patricide.

In contrast, Lin Nuo also obeyed Xia Hanmo’s words. He wouldn’t annihilate them just because they didn’t provoke him, and annihilating them would be extremely easy. Even those from Dong Wei weren’t his opponents.

“Mm…”

As Lin Nuo drew closer, the members of the Lin family no longer dared to speak loudly; that overwhelming presence made it hard for them to even breathe.

“To be honest, the Lin family is just a weak and incompetent family.”

This icy insult was far more piercing than a sharp blade, striking to the core of their hearts, leaving them speechless and too afraid to retort.

Lin Nuo walked past them, a suffocating atmosphere following closely behind, making everyone feel particularly uncomfortable.

Lin Qian couldn’t even brandish her sword; even though she had always claimed she would make Lin Nuo look up to her, now she could only be looked down upon by him, and it felt increasingly distant.

She was sweating profusely; if she drew her sword, she would likely fall flat in an instant, not knowing what had hit her.

It felt like facing a formidable enemy.

As Lin Nuo left, they finally breathed a sigh of relief; even though Lin Nuo hadn’t made a move, they felt he would kill them at any moment.

What a terrifying presence; it truly made their hearts tremble.

Seeing the brutal scenes throughout the royal palace, resembling a fierce battle had just occurred, the Lin family felt helpless, unable to change the current situation, arriving late to the scene.

They could only go to the palace and take a look.

After regaining their composure, the Lin family continued forward to see what was inside the palace.

As expected, it was even more horrific here, resembling a battlefield strewn with corpses, blood flowing like a river, as if a great war had taken place.

From what they could see, many from Dong Wei had perished, along with their guards and attendants. Some usually domineering officials and generals were now lying on the ground, some even still with their eyes open, having met their demise.

Did he do all this alone? He didn’t seem to have other powers aiding him.

However, soon, she spotted the Emperor, Empress, and the royal princes and princesses within the palace; at least the bloodline of the Purhan Dynasty still survived, which was a good thing.

“Your Majesty!”

When the Lin family saw the emperor, they immediately knelt down; naturally, the subjects had to show respect.

“So it’s Lin Yuan, rise.”

The Emperor instinctively waved his hand, signaling them to stand.

“Thank you, Your Majesty!”

The Lin family stood up, looking around the scene, a bit confused as they asked:

“May I ask, Your Majesty, what exactly happened here? Why is it so…?”

“Nothing, just some chivalrous heroes saving the Purhan Dynasty. Most of the corpses here belong to Dong Wei’s forces, that’s all.”

The Emperor wrote a decree on the spot and handed it to his subordinate to distribute, letting those outside come in to clean up the scene. The blood-stained royal palace was truly unbearable.

Now the Emperor had to issue a decree to ask people to come clean up the mess; he really had no military force left, all controlled by Dong Wei. With Dong Wei retreating, those people were also following suit.

“My daughter, this decree should be written by you, after all, you will be responsible for everything in the future, including this country.”

“This… well… fine…”

Luo Xiaoxue, without any modesty, didn’t say she couldn’t handle it; as long as Lin Nuo acknowledged her, she felt she had enough strength to take on everything.

That’s right, she was meant to be the future empress, managing all this, and then she could directly propose to the great hero Lin; that was a blessing for the people of the world.

Luo Xiaoxue had also paid close attention to the format of decrees before, and quickly drafted it. Of course, in addition, she had to issue another decree to allow the troops outside to enter the city.

Previously, she had sent a messenger with her less formal written document. Now, she needed an official document – a royal decree.

How proud and majestic it was.

Now that Dong Wei was about to collapse, having the royal guards enter the city would be easy; soon it would all be her power, and she would rightfully become the empress.

“This great hero is Lin Nuo, the great hero Lin. Although I know that the great hero Lin holds grievances against the Lin family, considering how much we’ve raised him, I won’t pursue it. Lord Lin, the son you cast aside, is the light of Purhan. If it weren’t for him, Purhan would have fallen into Dong Wei’s hands. Now, thanks to him, Purhan has been saved.”

Luo Xiaoxue spoke with a serious tone, fully recognizing Lin Nuo.

“So he was trying to save Purhan…? Single-handedly coming to annihilate Dong Wei’s forces?”

“Yes. Though there are many heroes in the world, none can achieve such a feat,” Luo Xiaoxue continued solemnly.

“Mm…”

Lin Yuan now found himself at a loss for words, feeling like he had missed a massive opportunity.

…

“Capital city?”

A silver-haired girl riding a sword descended from the sky, observing the magnificent army stationed outside the city and the smoke rising from various places.

The Qin family happened to have come to the capital, which was not good news for the girl.

So, when it came to taking action, she would have to protect the people of the Qin family.

“Demon Practitioners?”

She could sense the lurking Demon Qi nearby; after all, she had practiced demonic arts before and had become very sensitive to it, able to feel it immediately.

There were indeed quite a few Demon Practitioners around.

Soon, magical projectiles began to rain down on her, and there were quite a number of them, but she was still able to evade them, using ice techniques to conjure an ice layer to fend off this wave of attacks.

So flying on her sword was ultimately unsafe. She needed to descend urgently.

Suddenly, it seemed the royal guards outside had received some kind of order and began to attack the capital.

Moreover, the Demon Practitioners outside the city were also getting restless, eager to attack. The situation was looking grim.

“What would Lin Nuo do in this situation?”

The lone girl found herself in a difficult predicament.
