"Am I dead?"

"So... he really could be so ruthless..."

Chen Qian gave a sorrowful smile, and her consciousness completely dissipated.

Meanwhile, Lin Yun below, after killing Chen Qian with a slash, slowly closed his eyes, gave a few bitter laughs, and swung his blade forward again!

"Bang!"

Chen Qian's headless corpse standing before him was immediately cleaved in two by his blade, flying to both sides. The blade aura continued to slash forward, hacking the heavily injured and unconscious Chen Shiluan alive in two!

"Swish, swish, swish!!"

Lin Yun struck again, and with a whirlwind of blade shadows, quickly chopped the remains in front into minced meat!

"Clang!!"

Lin Yun dropped the knife in his hand, suddenly clutched his head, and let out a piercing howl!

"Ah!!"

The sound shook for a hundred miles, causing the surrounding buildings to tremble, nearly collapsing!

The onlookers eyed the scene with fear, all staying far away, not daring to get too close.

"Pfft!!"

Lin Yun spat out a mouthful of blood, darkness enveloping his vision as all the rampant energy within him dissipated, and he staggered forward!

"Hmm?!"

"Kill!"

At this moment, a dead warrior cultivated by Chen Shiluan, who had been hiding nearby, rushed out upon seeing Lin Yun falling unconscious, intending to avenge Chen Shiluan!

"Hmm!"

Mu Jinyu, who had been silently watching Lin Yun's revenge, coldly snorted when he saw someone trying to kill Lin Yun after the elixir's effect had worn off, and flicked his fingers repeatedly!

"Bang, bang, bang!!"

Several first grade elixirs were shot out by Mu Jinyu as hidden weapons, blasting one person into a bloody pulp upon contact!

Even though Mu Jinyu's cultivation was completely lost now, it was still quite easy for him to kill these in the Divinity Transformation Realm!

In an instant, over a dozen loyal dead warriors of Chen Shiluan were all dead!

"Phew..."

Mu Jinyu exhaled lightly, then stepped forward, picked up Lin Yun, and headed towards the City Lord's Mansion ahead.

"Boom!!"

The restrictions of the City Lord's Mansion were so crude and simple that they couldn't stop Mu Jinyu's steps and were instantly broken by him.

Mu Jinyu casually found a room, placed Lin Yun on the bed, and then asked Yin Li to help find some elixirs, which he began to administer to Lin Yun.

Time flashed by, and a day's time passed.

Lin Yun also regained consciousness from his coma.

"Uh..."

Lin Yun's eyelashes trembled lightly as he slowly opened his eyes, feeling as if his head was about to explode with pain, and his entire body was so weak that he couldn't even lift his hand to rub his temples.

"Awake?"

A somewhat unfamiliar, yet somewhat familiar voice sounded nearby.

Very soon, Lin Yun remembered that it was Mu Jinyu's voice.

"Benefactor!"

Lin Yun arduously lifted his head and saw Mu Jinyu sitting by the bedside, watching him, and immediately called out gratefully.

"No need for that, take a good rest. In a few days, once you're able to move, take me to find that cliff..." Mu Jinyu put down a bowl of porridge, then called a maid to help Lin Yun with his meals.

This maid was certainly not a maid from the City Lord's Mansion. After bringing Lin Yun inside, Mu Jinyu dismissed the City's Lord's servants and maids.

After all, they were all scared witless, and some might be die-hards trying to harm Lin Yun!

And given his current condition, it wasn't easy to check them thoroughly, so dismissing them was the best option.

Afterward, he casually used the City Lord's Mansion's money to recruit many new maids and servants.

These people weren't as scared of him, and taking care of Lin Yun allowed Mu Jinyu to rest easier.

Time flashed by, and another three days passed.

Lin Yun was able to get out of bed and walk.

When he curiously asked Mu Jinyu why, Mu Jinyu told him that originally he should have been bedridden for three months, but with his intervention, the aftereffects of those elixirs were nothing much.

If it weren't for his current bodily issues, he could have gotten him out of bed on the first day. Now, managing in four days was already exhaustive.

Once Lin Yun could get out of bed, he quietly found Chen Qian's corpse and buried her alone.

When he returned, Mu Jinyu saw that his mood had improved significantly, no longer as heavy and sorrowful, and curiously asked, "If possible, could you tell me how you could bear to kill that woman? I could tell you genuinely liked her..."

Lin Yun gave a self-deprecating smile and said, "What's there that can't be said? It's all in the past now..."

He paused, then spoke with a numb expression, "I did truly like her, but what of it? In her heart, I was nothing compared to her father!"

"If that day I had lost to Chen Shiluan, that old beast, and he was about to kill me, do you think she would risk her life to stand in front of me, threatening her father unto death to save me?"

"Heh heh heh..."

Lin Yun gave a self-mocking laugh and said, "My life and my cousin's were never within her consideration. From the moment she threatened me unto death, there was no turning back for us!"

"So, there's really no problem for me to kill her!"

Finishing, Lin Yun sighed with regret, "Unfortunately, I don't know where they've thrown Lin Yi's body, and I can't even pay my respects to him..."

"Alas..." Mu Jinyu sighed slightly and said no more, "Get some rest early."

Lin Yun said, "Benefactor, tomorrow I'll take you to find the pearl you wanted."

"Alright."

Mu Jinyu paused in his steps, looked back at Lin Yun, hesitated for a moment, and agreed.

He wasn't in any particular rush, but he could see that Lin Yun wasn't really wanting to rest, just wanting to numb himself with frenzied activity, so he went along with it.

He didn't insist on having Lin Yun rest well.

After all, his body was pretty well recovered now.

The first day, early in the morning, Lin Yun got up to find Mu Jinyu.

"Alright, let's set off."

Mu Jinyu didn't bother having breakfast, called Yin Li, and followed Lin Yun to a cliff outside their small town.

When they arrived at the cliff, Mu Jinyu couldn't help but be a little surprised.

Because during Lin Yun's resting days, he and Yin Li, having nothing to do, had also searched the area.

And they had searched this cliff but found nothing.

He had thought the cliff Lin Yun mentioned might be a harder-to-find place, so he kept waiting patiently.

But if it was just here, it was a bit disappointing because there was likely nothing to find.

"Benefactor, it's below here, let's go down..."

With that, Lin Yun jumped down from the cliff first.

Seeing this, Mu Jinyu couldn't very well leave him unattended, especially given his current weakened state—it would be problematic if Lin Yun couldn't return after going down.

Thus, Mu Jinyu had to grab onto Yin Li's tail and leap down the cliff.

"Whhooosh..."

The sound of the wind howled, with Yin Li's angry shout, "You stupid pig, who said you could grab my tail? Let go immediately!"

"Boom!"

Finally, Yin Li shook off Mu Jinyu's hand, leaving him without True Yuan to fly, plummeting hard into the ground.

"Ugh... that hurts..."

Mu Jinyu got up from the human-shaped crater in the ground, rubbing his back and looking at Yin Li speechlessly, then noted that at the bottom of the crater he hit, there seemed to be something!

"Hmm... what's this?!"
