Sword Star City, the headquarters of the Sword Alliance.

The place has been in an uproar ever since a cultivator who went to the Eastern Continent Secret Realm returned and informed Mu Fusheng and his son of their deaths.

Everyone knows that the vice leader, Mu Fusheng, was at odds with the leader. Now that Mu Fusheng is dead, his subordinates are in an awkward position.

Inside the conference hall, the administrator of Swordstar City, also known as the city lord, was urgently summoning others for a meeting.

"From now on, we'll all stick to the same story and obey the Alliance Leader directly. Do you all understand?"

"Understood, those who know when to yield are the wise ones."

The Sword Alliance is an alliance, and all its members are there for profit, so it doesn't really matter who leads them.

Now that the vice leader is dead, they will naturally have to find other backers.

At this moment, the cultivator who had been spared by Lin Yun asked worriedly.

"As for the Zhao family in the city, they seem to have a deep grudge against that orphanage."

Upon hearing this, the Lord of Sword Star City snorted coldly.

"Those guys are useless now, we just need to find a chance to drive them out."

Just then, someone rushed in anxiously from outside.

"Lord of the city, it seems something has happened to the Zhao family."

"what happened?"

The Sword Star City Lord looked in the direction of the voice and saw the person who had given the report explaining, panting heavily.

"Just now, a few people descended upon the Zhao family mansion, and then they were surrounded by a huge barrier."

"Could it be revenge? Then let's not worry about it."

The Lord of Sword Star City waved his hand, saying that it would be even better if someone wiped them out.

At this moment, the person opposite hurriedly said, "But yes, there are three people coming towards our camp!"

"what?!"

Sword Star City Lord's eyelids twitched, and just then, a loud bang came from outside.

"Lord Sword Star City, would you please come out for a chat?"

Upon hearing this voice, the Lord of Sword Star City was stunned for a moment, and his mind instantly went through everyone he had ever offended in his life.

"Come, let's go and take a look."

A moment later, he led his men outside and was surprised to see a strange man and woman with a little girl he recognized.

"Chen Lingyi? Is that you?"

He already knew about the other person, including their special physical condition.

I thought she had died in Dongzhou when she didn't come back, but I didn't expect her to be alive.

At this moment, Lin Yun landed and said calmly.

"Is her sister with you? We were going to take her with us."

The Lord of Sword Star City glanced at him and frowned.

"Who are you? These two sisters belong to our Sword Alliance. How can you just give them away like that?"

"Your possessions? Heh..."

Lin Yun narrowed his eyes, but before he could react...

Beside him, another member of the Sword Alliance exclaimed excitedly.

"Senior! Don't listen to his nonsense! Our Sword Alliance is just taking them in. If you want them, we'll send them over right away!"

These sudden words startled both sides.

But when Lin Yun glanced at the other person, he instantly understood.

The Lord of Sword Star City frowned and glanced at the man, who was a Dao-building expert who had survived from the Eastern Continent!

The latter quickly transmitted his voice to him, "This guy is the one I was talking about, the one who killed Vice Alliance Leader Mu!"

"..."

The Sword Star City Lord's eyelids twitched, his cold and stern expression instantly transformed into a bright smile, and his eyes became much clearer in an instant.

"Dean Lin, right? Look at my mouth, I was just joking."

"It is an honor for our Sword Alliance that you have taken a liking to these twin beauties. I will send them to you right away!"

Compared to his unruly demeanor just now, the difference is enormous.

Lin Yun chuckled.

"Okay, you're on the right track. Then hurry up and go."

The Lord of Sword Star City nodded repeatedly and shouted at the people around him.

"Didn't you hear me? Get up there now!"

"Yes Yes Yes!"

Not long after, a pale-faced girl in a blue dress was helped out.

Upon seeing this, Chen Lingyi was startled and rushed forward immediately.

"Lingxin! Are you alright?"

She rushed to take the girl from her; clearly, the girl was her younger sister.

Lin Yun glanced at them and thought, "They are indeed twin sisters. From their appearance alone, they are almost identical, both of them are quite beautiful."

However, the other person was clearly sickly, so it was easy to tell the difference at a glance; they reminded me a bit of Daiyu...

"I...cough cough, I'm fine..."

Chen Lingxin shook her head slightly, then looked around and couldn't help but ask.

"Sister, what's going on? Are we worthless and the Sword Alliance wants to kill us?"

Upon hearing this, the Sword Star City Lord's eyelids twitched, and he repeatedly smiled apologetically.

“Miss Lingxin, we can’t say things like that. We have no intention of doing anything to you.”

"This senior has taken a liking to you and intends to take you in!"

He had barely finished speaking when Lin Yun glared at him, asking what he meant by saying he had taken a liking to them.

It's as if I'm some kind of pervert who abducted a minor girl!

Fortunately, Chen Lingyi provided an explanation in time.

"That's right..."

Chen Lingxin seemed to be deep in thought, then had her sister help her to Lin Yun, intending to bow to him.

"I, Chen Lingxin, thank you for saving me, senior. Also, thank you for taking care of my sister Ai."

Unexpectedly, her younger sister was more like the older sister, clearly more mature and composed than Chen Lingyi.

Seeing her weak appearance, Lin Yun quickly stopped her from moving.

"No need for formalities, we've simply made a deal."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Lingxin in front of him suddenly fell straight down, but fortunately Lin Yun caught her steadily and held her in his arms.

Upon seeing this, his face darkened, and he looked at the Lord of Sword Star City.

"Explain what's going on."

The Sword Star City Lord, sweating profusely, hurriedly said.

“Senior, we didn’t do anything to her. We even fed and drank her well. She’s always been like this since she arrived.”

Chen Lingyi explained from the side, "Dean Lin, this really has nothing to do with them. My sister was attacked by a demon when she was young, and she occasionally falls into a coma."

"Some doctors say she's been poisoned by a curse from the demon race, and they can't cure it; they can only suppress her injuries..."

After learning the reason, Lin Yun also tried to take a look.

Sure enough, there was an extremely strange power within her body, constantly eroding her life force!

Although Lin Yun had received ten times the medical skills from Xiao Xi, he still had no clue about it, so he looked at Xing Wu and asked.

"What kind of cursed poison is this? Do you have a way to get rid of it?"

Xingwu shook her head and said, "No."

"Huh? Aren't you omnipotent?"

"..."

Xingwu was speechless for a moment, then spoke.

"This is a vicious tactic of the demon race, but very few people know about it. It seems that only the royal family of the demon race has a solution."

"How long do you think she can live without treatment?"

"Given how deeply ingrained her condition is, it's possible to suppress it for at most a year."

Upon hearing this, Chen Lingyi, who was standing next to him, was struck dumb and collapsed to the ground, her eyes losing focus.

"One...one year...how could this be..."
