In fact, Henry didn't want to bring anyone with him. He wanted to escape from the Virpids on his way to the capital.
However, bringing people was requested by the empire. Henry had no other choice.
Almost everyone was scared of the reputation of the Fiend of the Virpids. Traveling on the main street, no one dared to take a look at Henry and his traveling companions.
After passing a couple of transportation formations, the Virpids team arrived outside of the gate of the capital.
The civilian transportation formation wasn't able to transport people inside of the capital. They had to go to a town for the transportation formation specially used to travel into the capital.
This town was especially busy because it was the town closest to the Imperial City that had the transportation formation to the Imperial City.
With a flash of light, the Virpids team appeared in the town.
The moment he was beamed out of the formation, Henry could feel how people looked at him. There was hate, curiosity, and fear.
During years of activities, the Fiend of the Virpids had accumulated many enemies. The only reason to keep them at bay was because of the fiend's fearsome reputation.
Henry was covered in a black cloak so that no one could see his face.
"Fiend, you killed my grandfather forty years ago. Today, I'll kill you!"
As a roar sounded, a person rushed toward Henry.
Before Henry could get a clear look, Sigismund punched out with a sneer, and the person was pushed in the mid-air, dead.
There were always people who were blinded by revenge. They behaved recklessly, and their action cost their lives. The Virpids team continued marching out of the town. Walking with Cesia by his side, Henry attracted many jealous looks.
The Virpids team got out of the town and walked toward the Imperial City.
The one hundred and two people of the Virpids marched toward the gate of Imperial City. All the other people walked away. They didn't want to get themselves in trouble by offending the Virpids people.
Henry again realized how intimidating the Fiend of the Virpids was.
The wall of Imperial City was made of many powerful treasures. If anyone wanted to enter the city without proper approval, they would be shot down even they were flying in the air.
All the gates of Imperial City were guarded by soldiers. Sigismund handed the invitation of the Hundred Sects Competitor
"Virpids?"
One of the guards glanced at the Virpids team. He shouted, "I need to check everyone's faces for their identification."
Sigismund's face dropped. Among all the people, only the fiend's face was hiding in his hood.
Through all those years, the fiend had never shown their face.
Sigismund shouted, "How dare you! Who do you think you are, asking to see my Shifu's face?"
The guard wasn't scared of the people of the Virpids. He sneered, "You are on the soil of Imperial City, so you will obey the laws here. I'll kill anyone whose identity can't be confirmed."
Qi was rolling behind the guard.
At this moment, a large number of soldiers ran out of the city gate. They had prepared for this.
When the emperor decided to get involved in the matters of the factions, he knew he needed to make a statement to keep the Virpids under check. Soldiers were standing in front of the gate, ready to engage in battle.
"Attention!"
Sigismund commanded. A hundred disciples of Virpids were also ready to fight.
