Lin Ziyu suddenly shot straight up from his bed as if struck by thunder, unconsciously calling out, "Brother Yan..." His mind seemed to be still lingering on the thrilling moment of fierce battle with the black-robed man. His eyes fluttered open, only to be met with an unfamiliar and blurry scene. His head felt like a tangled mess, leaving him bewildered and at a loss.

He slowly turned his head and glanced at the room, which he had no idea where it was. The room was dimly lit, with a faint light shining through the window, revealing that the furnishings were neat and clean.

Lin Ziyu took a deep breath and called out again, "Brother Yan..." However, this time his voice was weaker than before. After a while, no one responded, and an inexplicable panic and doubt began to spread in his heart.

"Where are Long Yan and the others? Where is this place?" he muttered to himself as he struggled to get out of bed and explore. However, when he tried to get up, he realized his body was so heavy and limp, as if all his strength had been drained away. Lin Ziyu sighed helplessly and collapsed onto the bed.

Calling in my heart: "Xiao Xin...Xiao Xin...come out..."

A flash of light flashed across the room, and the lovely spirit Lin Xin appeared before Lin Ziyu. As soon as he appeared, he called out, "Master, Master, you're awake! That's great! We were all worried about you!" His voice was filled with worry and joy.

Lin Ziyu still felt a little weak at the moment. He struggled to stand up and asked with a puzzled look on his face, "Xiao Xin, where exactly is this? Where are Long Yan and the others?"

The spirit Lin Xin blinked his bright eyes and was about to answer when he heard a creaking sound and the door, which had been tightly closed, was gently pushed open a crack. Lin Ziyu and the spirit Lin Xin turned their heads at the same time and looked towards the door.

A head popped out from the door. It was Long Si.

When her eyes fell on Lin Ziyu who had already woken up, her eyes lit up, and an expression of surprise and joy blossomed on her face. She couldn't help but shout out loudly: "Your Highness the Crown Princess, you are finally awake! That's great, I will go and inform His Highness the Crown Prince." As the words fell, the door was closed with a bang.

Then, there was a soft sound of hinges turning. The door opened, and Mo Zhu, dressed in blue, walked in. He hurried to the bedside, bent down, and respectfully called out, "Master." He checked Lin Ziyu's condition and said, "Master, this is the General's Mansion in Biancheng. You have been unconscious for half a month. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is currently handling important matters in the meeting room. Long Si and I have been ordered to guard you. Long Yi, Long Liu, and Lord Mo Long are with His Highness."

Lin Ziyu was a little surprised, "What?" He looked at the magic bamboo.

Mozhu explained softly, "Master, you fainted due to excessive spiritual energy consumption and severe injuries. We came here directly after repelling the black-robed men. We thought you would wake up after your spiritual energy was restored. Your body refused to take the elixirs. Your Highness injected spiritual energy into you every day, but only one tenth remained, and the doctors couldn't find the cause."

Lin Ziyu frowned. He could feel that there was almost no spiritual energy in his body.

The weapon spirit Lin Xin also shook his head and said with a puzzled look on his face: "Master, don't ask me, I don't know the reason either."

At this moment, there was a sudden noise outside. Then, the door was pushed open and Long Yan hurried in. Seeing Lin Ziyu half lying on the bed, Long Yan smiled, walked quickly to the bedside, hugged Lin Ziyu tightly, and whispered in his ear: "Ziyu, you are finally awake."

Lin Ziyu hugged Long Yan back and could feel his tense mood relax. He responded, "Brother Yan, I'm fine."

Long Yan loosened his arms and looked at Lin Ziyu carefully, his eyes full of distress. "Ziyu, are you feeling unwell?"

Lin Ziyu shook his head and said with a smile: "Brother Yan, I'm so hungry."

Upon hearing this, Long Yan quickly ordered Long Si to prepare the food. Soon, a table full of delicious food was placed before Lin Ziyu. Lin Ziyu's eyes lit up as he looked at the table full of dishes, and he immediately began to devour them.

Long Yan watched quietly from the side, a smile on his lips, his eyes full of doting. When Lin Ziyu had almost finished eating, Long Yan slowly spoke, "Ziyu... your spiritual power... let's go back to the Imperial City and ask the Queen Mother to take a look..." His tone was a little uncertain.

Lin Ziyu put down his bowl and chopsticks, wiped his mouth, and said with a smile: "Brother Yan, I'm not worried about the spiritual power. Maybe it will recover after a while. I'm worried about the situation in the Death Forest..."

Long Yan thought for a moment and said, "After observing for the past two weeks, there have been no changes in the Death Forest. The Soul Devouring Demon Insect King probably doesn't have the ability to break the barrier yet and won't be able to get out for a while. I've already sent people to monitor the periphery of the Death Forest and report back immediately if anything happens. Ziyu, return to the Imperial City tomorrow."

Lin Ziyu nodded and had no objection. He had eaten his fill and felt a little stronger.

The next morning, the sun, which had not been seen for many days, shone brightly on the earth, and a gentle breeze rustled the leaves. Long Yan, Lin Ziyu and his companions bid farewell to the general guarding the border town, boarded the spaceship, and left the border town, heading for the imperial city.

Xiao Ai's mechanical voice rang out, "Spaceship started, flight mode activated." The engine roared softly, propelling the spacecraft upwards. As the altitude climbed, the scenery on the ground shrank, eventually disappearing from view.

The spaceship soared smoothly through the boundless sky, like a graceful bird. Long Yan and Lin Ziyu stood side by side at the bow, gazing out into the distance. Before them lay a vast sea of clouds. The snow-white clouds rolled and surged like waves, and occasionally a few birds flew through the clouds, leaving behind a string of crisp chirps.

The journey was smooth sailing, without any bad weather or unexpected incidents. After three days of sailing, a magnificent city finally appeared ahead. It was the orcs' imperial city—a place filled with mystery and majesty.

From afar, the towering walls of the Imperial City resembled a sinuous dragon coiling across the horizon. Banners fluttered from the walls, and the orc soldiers guarding the city stood in battle formation, spears in hand. The massive city gates were tightly shut. They watched the approaching spaceship with shock and a sense of vigilance.

As the spaceship gradually approached the Imperial City, Lin Ziyu couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion. He turned to look at Long Yan beside him, a relieved smile on his face, and said softly, "We're home..."

However, as the spaceship approached the city gate, alarms suddenly blared. Soldiers on the city walls raised their weapons and aimed them at their spaceship. Long Yan frowned, sensing something was amiss. He stood forward, revealing himself, and shouted, "It's me..." His voice was filled with intimidation.

The orc soldiers on the city wall spotted Long Yan from afar. When they saw who was coming, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. One of the soldiers shouted at the top of his lungs, "It's His Royal Highness the Crown Prince..." The other soldiers reacted quickly and retreated, making way for Long Yan.

Lin Ziyu and Long Yan, standing nearby, exchanged glances and nodded, then slowly descended from the spaceship with their group. Just then, a tall, imposing, and imposing Wolf General strode out of the city. He gazed at Long Yan with delight and exclaimed, "Your Highness, you're back!" However, his excitement was tinged with a faint, unconcealable sadness.

Long Yan frowned slightly and asked seriously, "What exactly happened in the Imperial City? Why is this happening?"

Lang Xiaoyi's face instantly turned heavy. He took a deep breath and replied with a slightly trembling voice, "Your Highness, the Peacock Tribe suddenly rebelled and launched a fierce attack on us. His Majesty the Dragon Emperor was unfortunately seriously injured in the battle, and Her Majesty the Dragon Queen was even more seriously injured and is unconscious." At this point, Lang Xiaoyi couldn't help but feel sad, his eyes red.

Upon hearing this news, Long Yan froze in place, as if struck by a bolt from the blue. It took a long moment for him to recover, his eyes widening as he exclaimed in disbelief, "What did you say? Father, the Emperor, and the Empress... How could this happen?"

Lang Xiaoyi nodded gravely and repeated, "The Dragon Emperor is seriously injured, and the Dragon Queen is unconscious." As soon as he finished speaking, Long Yan felt a surge of rage surge within him, and his aura suddenly exploded. Without a word, he flashed and sped towards the Dragon Emperor Palace like a bolt of lightning.
