After a short rest, Su Yang said to Lin Anlan, "Those people shouldn't have gone far. Let's hurry and catch up with them."

Although Lin Anlan also wanted to take revenge immediately, she was more worried about Su Yang's condition: "Why don't you rest a little longer, I'll go by myself." As she spoke, she got up to leave, but Su Yang grabbed her arm.

“You alone are no match for them. I’m fine. Don’t forget, I’m a multi-elemental user.” Su Yang rarely showed a smile, indicating that Lin Anlan could rest assured. He then stood up and turned to Tang Wan, saying, “Wan’er, take him and find a place to hide nearby. We’ll come back to find you after we finish our business.”

"Then you all need to be careful." Tang Wan knew that she would only be a burden if she went along, so she readily agreed. Then she walked to Huang Lewei's side, used her elemental power to carry him on her back, and went to find a hiding place. Su Yang and Lin Anlan then began to give chase.

The huge commotion Su Yang had made earlier was naturally noticed by the Insulators. Peng Shaoshi and the other two all frowned. They could roughly sense that this unusual energy was definitely not caused by the people of the Demon Kingdom, nor could it be Lin Anlan. So the only possible answer was the strange man next to Lin Anlan.

“Let’s speed things up; maybe those people from the Demon Kingdom will be wiped out soon,” Ralf said.

"But to cause such a strong elemental reaction, that person's strength must have already reached the seventh rank..." Elijah was a little scared. Just thinking about how the person he had fought before was such a terrifying monster, the threat of death was enough to make him tremble.

"Don't overthink it. If the man beside Lin Anlan really had such earth-shattering power, why didn't he just kill us earlier? Maybe other experts joined the battle. Don't forget what the Chief Commander said: our strength is not afraid of anyone in this world! In any case, we should find the Elf Tribe as soon as possible and complete the mission." Peng Shaoshi interrupted Elijah. He couldn't admit that besides the Chief Commander he mentioned, there was someone stronger than them, the guardians.

Peng Shaoshi's words acted like a tranquilizer, calming the insulator team considerably. The team continued their rapid advance, searching for their destination. However, things didn't go as planned; not long after, an attack brought the team to a halt.

The attack instantly killed the last few people in the group and forced the entire group to turn around and fight back. Ralf and his two companions came from the front to the back and saw Lin Anlan standing next to a big tree with a bow and arrow, staring intently at them. Next to her stood Su Yang.

Upon seeing Su Yang, Peng Shaoshi became even more convinced of his judgment. Logically speaking, if the terrifying elemental reaction earlier was indeed caused by Su Yang, then after consuming a large amount of elemental reserves, Su Yang should not still be so energetic. Even if he did not fall into a state of mental collapse, he should be listless.

But the fact that Su Yang was standing perfectly fine in front of everyone meant that he was definitely not the instigator. This made Peng Shaoshi completely relax, and he reverted to his arrogant self: "Miss Lin, you are really lucky to have survived the demons."

Lin Anlan didn't want to talk at all; all she wanted was Lin Ji's life. So she drew her bowstring taut again, ready to attack. Seeing this, Ralph and Elijah immediately got into position, ready to fight at any moment. But Peng Shaoshi waved his hand and shouted, "Wait!"

Fearing that Lin Anlan wouldn't listen to him, he quickly added, "Miss Lin, can't we just stop here and go our separate ways? How about this, I have a suggestion that I'm sure you'll be satisfied with. Why don't you listen to me?"

Lin Anlan coldly replied, "What suggestion?"

Seeing that the other party had relented, Peng Shaoshi clapped his hands, then grabbed Lin Ji beside him and kicked him, breaking one of his legs. The intense pain caused Lin Ji to scream in agony, then he rolled on the ground clutching his broken leg. Lin Anlan didn't understand why Peng Shaoshi would do this, and just watched coldly. Even Ralph and Elijah beside him were puzzled.

Peng Shaoshi stepped forward and stomped on Lin Ji, who was rolling around, to stop him. He then pushed Lin Ji forward with his foot before laughing and saying, "I, Peng Shaoshi, hate people who have no love for their family the most. You want his life, don't you? I'll lend you a hand—oh no, I mean, I'll give you a kick. I'll cripple his leg and leave him to you to do as you please. I'll then leave with my men, and from now on, we'll never interfere with each other again. How about it?"

Upon hearing that Peng Shaoshi intended to hand him over to Lin Anlan for disposal, Lin Ji disregarded the intense pain in his leg and immediately cried out in pleading, "Lord Peng! I am also a member of the Insulators! Please save my life!" Seeing that Peng Shaoshi ignored him, he turned his gaze to Ralph and Elijah: "My lords, please save my life!"

But his pleas seemed to be inaudible to everyone present. Su Yang watched this scene and did not understand why the Insulator would do this. Logically speaking, Lin Ji was their companion. Did they just abandon him like that?

Lin Anlan watched coldly. Although she didn't understand why the Insulator had suddenly changed his attitude, she realized that this deal didn't seem to be bad for her. So she said in an icy tone, "Fine, you can leave now."

Seeing that she agreed, Peng Shaoshi immediately grinned and said, "Alright, Miss Lin is indeed straightforward! Well then, I wish you a pleasant revenge, let's go!" After saying that, he waved his hand and led the team of insulators away, completely ignoring Lin Ji's desperate pleas on the ground.

After they left, Lin Anlan silently stepped forward and looked at that repulsive face. She ignored Lin Ji's dying pleas for forgiveness and apology, and did not torture him in a cruel way. She simply raised her hand and used the short sword she carried to end Lin Ji's life.

This simple action seemed to drain all her strength. She knelt weakly on the ground, looked up at the sky, her eyes filled with tears, and then burst into loud sobs. If Su Yang had seen Lin Anlan cry three times before, this was the first time he had seen her cry so loudly.

All the frustration, anger, and pain seemed to dissipate with the crying at this moment. After sobbing loudly, he turned to soft sobbing. Lin Anlan came to Lin Ji's side, pulled out the short sword that was stuck in his heart, and closed his eyes with his own hands. Then he released fire element and cremated Lin Ji's body on the spot. After doing all this, the forest returned to peace.

Su Yang stood quietly behind her, watching. Even though Lin Anlan hated this father so much, he was still her biological father after all. Perhaps leaving him with a whole body was the last respect Lin Anlan could give him.

It's lamentable:

The mother remained silent through ten months of suffering.

He plotted against his father in a treacherous manner.

We met again in our youth.

One more person sheds a tear in the woods.
