Link's trip to the capital city was already planned.
The matters of the Mixed Element Sect and Master Li Shuwen just advanced the schedule.
The capital city, under the Emperor's feet, was the sanctuary for all kinds of talented people.
Approaching the capital city, Link no longer used teleportation to hurry the journey.
Instead, he rented a car, hired a driver, and drove leisurely towards the capital city.
He was as casual as a tourist wandering around.
After arriving in the capital city, Link spent two days wandering everywhere to familiarize himself with the lay of the land.
It's better to be prepared in case any trouble or anyone appears, so he would know which way to go.
Link was not overly arrogant, he didn't believe he was invincible and thus needed to be cautious.
After making the necessary preparations and obtaining some intel about the private residence of the Supervisor of the Inner Guards, Link began his operation.
