The news that the demons’ attack had completely destroyed the capital institute that was built and established for a hundred years spread like wildfire in the Kingdom of the Sacred Dragon.
No one could believe that the top education institution in the kingdom would actually be destroyed overnight.
The sudden attack of the demon clan caused a huge shock to all the people in the Kingdom of the Sacred Dragon. Many people who had graduated from the capital institute, after knowing the news, hated the demon clan to the core. Within moments, many generals who were fighting near the boundaries launched more aggressive attacks against the demon clan.
The capital institute was completely destroyed this time. Not only was the infrastructure torn down, all the mentors were killed in their duty, and even the institute director was buried in the battle.
Additionally, four-fifth of the students died miserably. This was the most severe turmoil the Kingdom of the Sacred Dragon had experienced after it was established.


Rebuilding the capital institute was unlikely to be completed within a short period of time. The students who had fortunately survived from the battle were all heavily injured and their family clans had all summoned their men to bring the casualties back home to recuperate.
And there were even more students who had been forever buried in the battle and it was impossible to even find back their corpses.
Those young men who could receive education from the capital institute were all outstanding talents. With such a huge loss of talent this time, the Emperor was enraged and immediately ordered the army near the boundaries to attack the demon clan with greater tenacity.
Ji Fengyan found Liu Huo on the third day after the battle ended. From word of mouth from Liu Huo, she learnt that when the demon clan’s army attacked, the little bat and him had already run away from the village and hence had escaped. Seeing Liu Huo safe, Ji Fengyan could finally let her heart be at ease. She was so relaxed that she immediately fell asleep.
Her sleep lasted for five days.
During these days, Liu Huo guarded by her side without leaving.
And across the kingdom, the passion for retaliating against the demon clan was burning so strongly.
The Emperor gave 12 decree orders with response to the catastrophe that had happened at the capital institute. They include the rebuilding of the capital institute, the urgency to fight the demon clan and the reward for the brave young men who had survived.
The news about how Ji Fengyan and her peers had survived together through the difficult times at the capital institute was quickly transmitted in the kingdom to fortify the people’s resolute to fight the demon clan. They were all invited to receive their reward from the capital city after one month.
The Emperor would personally meet them in the capital city to commend them for their valiance.


Ji Fengyan also received the news. At the thought that the institution was destroyed and she no longer had anywhere to go, it was a wiser choice for her to return to the capital city, so she packed her bags for travel.
However, the ancient dragon insisted on following Ji Fengyan. Even after Ji Fengyan had turned all the stones in the room into gold, the ancient dragon was still dissatisfied.

I have said that not only do I want gold, I also want many jewels.

Ji Fengyan looked at the ancient dragon speechless and could only bring it along. Also, because of the ancient dragon, Ji Fengyan did not dare to walk on the streets and could only ride on the dragon’s back to fly from the secluded mountains to the capital city of the Kingdom of the Sacred Dragon.
Ji Fengyan made use of the travelling time to scrutinise the mysterious black feather, but she still had no clue.
In the midst of the noise, time flew past quickly. Ji Fengyan finally saw the capital city after travelling for seven days.
