Starting with an orphanage, I mass-produced peerless empresses.

Inside the shattered forging workshop, Lin Yun gazed at the crimson longsword before him and slowly pulled it out!

Instantly, a sharp sword cry resounded throughout the surrounding area!

Lin Yun could clearly sense that within this longsword lay the power of the laws that Sword Nine had just displayed!

"No wonder they say this is the strongest sword..."

Lin Yun suddenly realized that this was equivalent to a divine weapon that had fused with the power of the laws of an Emperor-level expert!

Compared to before, it is several times stronger!

Looking at this divine weapon, Lin Yun felt not happy, but rather very heavy-hearted.

"Senior, you should go now. I will take good care of Xiaoxi."

Lin Yun raised his sword and bowed to the sword furnace to show his respect.

Just as he was about to leave, a series of figures approaching from afar made his face darken.

"It seems that what they said was true; quite a few annoying flies have come..."

Not long after the divine weapon appeared, some cultivators who saw the commotion came over out of curiosity, including some local bullies from the outer city!

"Brothers, the chance to get rich has arrived! Give me, the gang leader, a real boost!"

The first to arrive was Xu Sandao, the leader of the Sea God Gang, a notorious local tyrant in the city beyond the boundary!

His cultivation level was at the first level of the King-level, which was already an extremely powerful existence in the ordinary city outside the boundary!

Looking at Lin Yun, who was holding a divine weapon and had not concealed his cultivation level, he couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

"Tsk tsk, a first-level King-level cultivator? Looks like he's quite the fat sheep!"

Although they were at the same level as him, they had more people and greater strength.

His underlings mostly possessed innate or even extraordinary cultivation levels, some even stronger than the original Blood Sword Tower.

Clearly, the advantage lies with us!

Most of the other local cultivators who rushed over were also extraordinary, with very few at the King level.

As for those emperors from other places, they originally came to visit the powerful orphanage director, but they came out of curiosity after seeing the commotion.

Although none of them recognized Lin Yun, they acted cautiously and did not dare to easily confront this guy who wielded a divine weapon but seemed to be very weak.

After all, it was said that during the Qingyun Grand Competition, the Dean, despite being at the King-level, managed to force the First Sword Master to retreat.

Therefore, they all decided to wait and see how things went...

"Gentlemen, are you planning to kill and rob us?"

Lin Yun coldly surveyed his surroundings, taking in the group of cultivators who had surrounded him.

The rogue cultivators remained silent, none daring to make a move, after all, Lin Yun's cultivation level was quite impressive even in the outer city.

In the end, it was the Sea God Gang leader, Xu Sandao, who glanced at the crowd in the distance.

"You don't dare to make a move, huh? Then this gang leader won't hold back!"

Then, he looked at Lin Yun and sneered.

"Sir, by making such a commotion here, aren't you basically telling us you're coming to rob us?"

Lin Yun raised an eyebrow.

So, it's still my fault?

Xu Sandao said with a smile, "You can only blame yourself for not being strong enough, otherwise why would we dare to come here?"

As he spoke, he glanced at the person beside him.

"Brothers, let's take this guy down, and we'll celebrate when we get back tonight!"

Do you think he can definitely beat Lin Yun?

Of course not, but for a hyena like him who lives on the edge of a knife, there's no need to think so much when doing things!

Since the other party was able to obtain such a divine weapon, he must be very wealthy. Even if we kill him and don't end up taking the divine weapon, we can still steal his spatial ring!

With Xu Sandao's command, the rest of the gang members were also energized.

"kill!"

Led by Xu Sandao, figures attacked Lin Yun.

In the past, he wouldn't have bothered with these guys; he would have simply revealed his identity or intimidated them with his domineering aura.

But I'm in a bad mood right now, and with the divine weapon appearing, it's only natural that blood will be drawn...

"court death."

Lin Yun narrowed his eyes. Although he rarely attacked, thanks to Bai Xiaoxue and the others' efforts, all his skills were now maxed out!

The crimson longsword shone brightly, and a sharp sword intent swept out with the sword energy!

In an instant, the crimson sword light was like a whirlwind, seemingly about to completely shatter everything in front of it!

"The wind breaks through the remaining clouds!"

With the King-level realm and high-grade sword intent, coupled with his mastery of sword techniques, this sword strike truly demonstrated the power of a top-grade Earth-level sword technique!

Xu Sandao, who was at the forefront, changed his expression instantly when he saw the crimson sword light!

In an instant, he received two pieces of news, one good and one bad!

The good news is that this guy seems to actually be at the first level of the King-level cultivation!

The bad news is, even those at the King-level are not people he can afford to offend...

In an instant, Xu Sandao and his fellow members of the Sea God Gang were engulfed by the sweeping sword light and were all cut down on the spot!

"What a fine sword..."

Lin Yun was very satisfied. This was already such an excellent performance before even undergoing the blood oath ceremony. If Xiao Xue were to undergo the oath ceremony later, it would definitely be even more impressive!

Then, he looked at the surrounding cultivators and said calmly.

"Anyone else who wants to die is welcome to try."

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment, and some of the local bullies who had harbored ambitions became obedient.

Those emperors who had been observing the situation completely gave up their ideas after some people who had seen Lin Yun appeared.

"They even said, 'This person looks so familiar.'"

"Damn it, of course he looks familiar. Isn't he the orphanage director?"

"Hiss, you're saying it's him?!"

"Thank goodness, I didn't act rashly just now."

"This senior is clearly so strong, why does he pretend to be a King-level cultivator for no reason?"

"Perhaps this is just the hobby of the strong..."

After learning their identities, many people dispersed.

However, there were also quite a few who came to congratulate Lin Yun on obtaining the divine weapon, their initial arrogance followed by their subsequent obsequiousness was laughable.

Lin Yun ignored them and quickly left.

By the time they returned to the orphanage, more than five hours had passed since they left, and the sky was gradually darkening.

"Sigh, how am I supposed to explain this..."

Looking at the orphanage gate, Lin Yun felt a headache for the first time, wondering how he should answer if Xiao Xi asked.

Moreover, Jian Jiu's actions made him feel a bit guilty towards the little girl.

Just as he pushed open the door, he saw Xiao Xi, shrouded in black, waiting for him.

"How is my grandfather?"

She looked up at Lin Yun and asked with concern.

Lin Yun was silent for a moment, then chuckled softly.

"Your grandfather has already set off."

Upon hearing this, Xiaoxi lowered her head sadly.

Seeing this, Lin Yun quickly offered words of comfort.

"Don't be too sad, he'll come back when you grow up!"

This was the first time in a long time that he had truly said something against his conscience, but in order to appease the other party, he had no better way.

Xiao Xi simply raised her head, looked at the sword in his hand, and pursed her lips.

"May I take a look at that sword?"

"Forehead……"

Lin Yun hesitated for a moment, but still handed it over.

"No problem, you can see."

Thinking that she was just a child, and seemed to be even younger than Bai Xiaoxue, it was unlikely that anything could be discerned.

However, Xiao Xi held the sword for a while, then murmured absentmindedly.

"Indeed, it's the same..."

"Huh? What's the same?"

Xiao Xi didn't answer, but just silently looked at the long sword in her hand.

"When I was little, my grandfather told me in a story that the strongest sword must be forged in blood..."
