……
After killing the three men in black, Lin Fei's cultivation finally broke through again, completely opening up his two spiritual apertures and advancing to the sixth level of the Acupoint Realm.
At the sixth level of the Acupoint Realm, the two acupoints of the spirit are opened, and an inner world cycle has been initially formed within the body. The spiritual energy around the body is constantly generated, and it is even possible to go without sleep or food for several months, achieving a state of fasting like that of an immortal.
It can be said that once one reaches the sixth level of the acupoint system, their physical structure is no longer that of an ordinary person. They are practically like a demigod.
This was also the result of Lin Fei forcibly using two cultivation techniques simultaneously to temper his spirit. It actually reduced the experience points required for leveling up by more than half. Otherwise, the experience points from killing those three men in black alone would be far from enough to advance to the sixth level of the Acupuncture Points.
Lin Fei now truly realized that relying solely on the conveniences provided by the system was far from enough to become a true top expert. At the very least, he needed to constantly hone his own skills in addition to the system.
……
As Lin Fei advanced to the sixth level of the acupoints, a foul stench emanated from his body—it was the impurities expelled from his body after his inner world was fully formed.
Seeing that the other constables of Tianmen Prefecture had completely suppressed the men in black, Lin Fei circulated his spiritual power to completely eliminate the stench emanating from his body.
By the time Lin Fei finished doing all this, the battle between the Tianmen Prefecture constable and the man in black was nearing its end.
Although the men in black fought desperately, they were completely outnumbered by the Tianmen Prefecture constables. After risking their lives to take down several constables, the men in black finally all fell at the hands of the Tianmen Prefecture constables.
"Your Highness, there were eleven men in black in total. Three of them died at your hands, and the remaining eight were all killed on the spot!" A constable from Tianmen Prefecture ran up to Lin Fei and reported to him.
Although all the men in black had been killed, Lin Fei was not at ease at all—because he knew that these guys, to put it bluntly, were just cannon fodder.
What truly impacts the entire capital's situation is the battle within the protective barrier, and the decisive battle between Divine Might Marquis Su Lie and Demon Master Leng Feng.
Lin Fei knew that he couldn't intervene in either the battle between Shenwei Hou and the Demon Master, or the battle within the light barrier. Despite having advanced to the sixth level of the acupoint realm, his cultivation was still insignificant compared to those powerful figures.
"You should also go into the capital city to help Prime Minister Wang and the others deal with the remaining evil forces within the capital," Lin Fei sighed and instructed the head constable of Tianmen Prefecture.
"Yes, Your Highness!" Upon receiving Lin Fei's order, the constables of Tianmen Prefecture rushed to various parts of the imperial city to search for the heretical members of the Eight Paths Sect who were still causing trouble in the imperial city.
The search within the imperial city continued until dusk, when Prime Minister Wang You finally arrived with his men. Even then, the protective barrier surrounding Lin Fei remained in place.
The protective barrier emitted a blinding golden light, making it impossible for Lin Fei to see what was happening inside. He could only pray that the wicked sect hadn't managed to gain any advantage over Emperor Li Yu of Tang.
Prime Minister Wang You went straight to Lin Fei's side. Seeing Lin Fei sitting on the ground, he bowed respectfully behind him and said, "Your Highness, the remnants of evil sects within the capital have been completely eradicated. There are no more demons causing trouble within the imperial city!"
Although Prime Minister Wang You had previously strongly supported Li Longqian's succession to the throne, he now clearly saw that Li Longqian was utterly incompetent, and the position of crown prince would ultimately fall to His Highness Li Longyuan.
"Prime Minister Wang, you've worked hard." Lin Fei nodded, his tone quite calm: "Now that the evil path has been eradicated, Prime Minister, you may stay here with me and await the outcome inside!"
"Yes, Your Highness!" Wang You responded, then looked at Li Longqian, who was still sitting on the ground in the distance, seemingly insane, and asked, "Your Highness, what should be done with the Second Prince? Should I send someone to imprison him and keep him under strict guard? Or should I torture him to find out how he colluded with the demonic sorcerers?"
"No need." Lin Fei glanced at Li Longqian, who was already insane, and shook his head. "Send someone to send him back to his residence. As for what to do with him, Father will decide for himself after he comes out."
Li Longqian, that short-sighted fool, was clearly being manipulated. Even if you questioned him, you wouldn't get anything out of him. Not to mention, he seemed to have gone mad. Lin Fei hadn't taken this guy seriously to begin with, and now he was even less inclined to deal with a madman.
Wang You's expression changed several times before he finally let out a long sigh. He had thought that Lin Fei would take this opportunity to teach Li Longqian a lesson, ensuring he would never recover. But he hadn't expected that Lin Fei hadn't taken Li Longqian seriously at all.
"Your Highness, not only are your cultivation and skills far superior to the Second Prince's, but your magnanimity and spirit are also far beyond what the Second Prince can compare to. The Second Prince's defeat this time was truly not unjust!" Wang You sighed inwardly, and then sent someone to take the mad Li Longqian back to his residence.
……
A group of civil and military officials, along with Lin Fei, waited outside the light barrier for the results inside.
The light shield emitted a blinding golden light, obscuring the view inside. It also blocked all sound; even those with enhanced hearing couldn't discern what was happening inside.
Until a figure descended from the sky, shattering the light barrier that stretched in front of everyone.
At the same time, a wild laugh rang out from the sky: "Hahaha! Marquis Shenwei, you're nothing but this. Do you think you can be my match?"
