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

Seeing her despair, Lin Yun frowned, thinking that her sister was probably the only family she had left in the world.

Lin Yun pondered for a moment, then suddenly said something.

"Why don't you and your sister come to my orphanage? After you arrive, I'll ask someone in the demon race to help you inquire."

Suddenly, Chen Lingyi, whose face was filled with despair, was jolted awake and raised her head.

"Senior, is it really possible?"

"Of course, if you want."

Lin Yun smiled, he also appreciated the bond between the two sisters.

Chen Lingyi, as if grasping at a lifeline, was filled with excitement and immediately knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly.

"Thank you so much, senior! Thank you so much, senior! Lingyi will definitely repay you!"

The impact was so severe that it produced a series of dull thuds, and bloodstains appeared on the ground, indicating that the forehead had been broken.

"Alright, get up quickly."

Lin Yun couldn't bear to see this scene, so he immediately used his Xuan Qi to lift her up.

Her eyes were red, and her forehead was covered in dirt and blood.

"Dean, I..."

She truly didn't know how to repay Lin Yun's great kindness, and only by doing so could she feel a little more at ease.

Lin Yun reached out and gently stroked the wound on her forehead, speaking seriously as he spoke.

"Lingyi, you are not allowed to kneel down casually from now on, understand?"

Faced with the dean's reprimand, Chen Lingyi pursed her lips and nodded with tears welling in her eyes.

"Okay... I understand."

Lin Yun smiled gently and wiped away her tears.

Afterwards, Chen Lingyi said with some concern.

"By the way, wouldn't it be troublesome to ask the demon race?"

After all, the human race and the demon race have a deep-seated grudge, and the two sides rarely have contact. It's not so easy to ask the other side questions...

Lin Yun chuckled and said, "Don't worry, Dean, I have connections. I just need to make a trip."

"Wow? Is the dean that amazing?"

"of course."

Lin Yun smiled. After all, with Long Shishi's connection, he would have to take her to the demon clan sooner or later. When they met the royal family, it would only be a matter of saying a few words.

"Alright, let's take her with us and head back."

Since there's no way to treat it here, there's no need to waste any more time.

Upon seeing this, the Lord of Sword Star City quickly smiled.

"Please take care, Dean Lin. If you need anything next time, just let me know."

It's said that you can't hit someone who's smiling, so Lin Yun couldn't say anything since the other person was like that.

After they left, the Lord of Sword Star City breathed a sigh of relief.

"That was close, we almost lost."

The elder of Sword Star City, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but ask.

"Lord City Lord, aren't you being far too humble? If he dares to make a move, the Alliance Leader will not let him off!"

Upon hearing this, the Sword Star City Lord rolled his eyes at him.

"Are you out of your mind? Whether the alliance leader lets him go or not has nothing to do with whether I live or die."

"Even if the alliance leader were to tear him to pieces, what good would my death do?"

"Forehead……"

The man nodded thoughtfully.

"That makes sense..."

"nonsense."

The Lord of Sword Star City snorted and said smugly.

"How do you think I rose to the position of Lord of Sword Star City? When it comes to life, you have to know when to back down. As long as you can survive, that's all that matters."

Not long after, at the Sword Alliance headquarters.

The Sword Alliance leader looked at the two reports in front of him. One report stated that Mu Fusheng and his son had offended the director of an orphanage in the Eastern Continent and were killed.

The other document details what happened in Swordstar City.

Beside him, an old man in black asked.

"Alliance Leader, what do you think of this extraterrestrial orphanage? Should we take revenge on it?"

"Revenge? Revenge for what?"

The leader of the Sword Alliance put down the report, a faint smile on his face.

"That Mu Fusheng has been plotting to usurp the throne all along. He thought I didn't know. I should have dealt with them a long time ago."

"This dean has really helped me a lot."

If he were to deal with it personally, he would inevitably be branded as someone who harms allies, but if someone else were killed, then everyone would be happy.

"But he is, after all, the vice leader of the alliance. If we do nothing, won't it affect the reputation of our Sword Alliance?"

"It's alright, just consider it giving the orphanage face."

Upon hearing this, the old man in black nodded, then continued as if remembering something.

"By the way, all the demons that were hiding in the Western Regions have mysteriously retreated back to the Demon Realm. Does the Alliance Leader know about this?"

"I had someone investigate this matter a month ago."

The leader of the Sword Alliance squinted and looked out the window as he spoke slowly.

"The Demon Realm is in complete chaos right now..."

……

Sword Star City, Zhao Family Mansion.

When Lin Yun and his group returned, they couldn't help but gasp when they saw the scene in the square.

As expected, Bai Xiaoxue went on a killing spree. The deaths of the Zhao family patriarch and other high-ranking members were so gruesome that even describing them as "horrible deaths" would be too lenient.

At this moment, Lu Xian'er and Qingyue came to greet them.

"Dean, you're finally back!"

Qingyue rarely showed such anxiety, which startled Lin Yun.

"Judging from your expression, is something wrong?"

He then glanced at Lu Xian'er, who took a deep breath and said...

"It's Xiaoxue, that girl isn't doing well."

"she?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Yun glanced around the square.

"Huh, what about people?"

The entire square is now almost a pool of blood, with countless wrecks everywhere. It took a while before Bai Xiaoxue's figure could be seen from a corner.

At this moment, she sat blankly on the ground, her whole body looking as if she had been pulled out of a pool of blood. Her white dress was completely soaked in red, and the Crimson Lotus Sword lay on the corpse beside her.

It's hard to believe that this is the same Bai Xiaoxue who is usually so charming, cute, and incredibly innocent; calling her a devil wouldn't be an exaggeration.

In particular, despite having avenged her blood feud, her eyes were extremely empty, as if she had been broken.

No wonder people say something's wrong with her...

Lin Yun walked over and quietly sat down beside her.

Upon closer inspection, I noticed that her eyes were bloodshot; I couldn't tell if she was blinded by rage or by tears.

The moisture in the corners of his eyes seemed to be a mixture of blood and tears...

"Xiaoxue, are you done venting?"

As if hearing a familiar voice, Bai Xiaoxue looked up at Lin Yun in a daze.

After a long silence, she finally uttered a hoarse sound.

"Dean...I...I avenged them."

"Well, you did a good job."

Lin Yun smiled and patted her head.

"But……"

"what?"

"Even if we take revenge, they still won't be coming back..."

As she spoke, she looked at Lin Yun with a somewhat confused expression.

"Dean, do you think I should live? Is there any point in living?"

"What are you saying? Of course there is!"

Lin Yun nodded without hesitation.

"But...it's all because of me, because of the treasure I brought back, that led to their deaths..."

"Moreover, my father, mother, and many other relatives could have escaped, but they were killed to protect me, the culprit."

"In the end... only I, the most deserving of death, survived..."

Because of his previous admiration and affection for Lin Yun, he had suppressed these dark emotions.

But today's massacre allowed him to vent his frustrations.

She glanced at the Crimson Lotus Sword beside her, seemingly having a particular idea...

Seeing her like this, Lin Yun instantly understood.

"This is... survivor syndrome..."
