Time is running out
The Hanging Blade Squad flexed their muscles with great energy. They subdued the vanguard and guarded the entrance.
Gao Bing's communications were cut off the moment he entered the mysterious continent, and the High Committee never received any news.
There was movement in the passage, and the Hanging Blade Squad retreated tacitly.
A group of Gao country elites stepped into the land they numbered "0090" and lined up.
They waited respectfully, and a figure gradually appeared, with Xuan Ren on guard for a moment.
A senior official from the High Committee appeared with Xia Zaoan, followed closely by two soldiers.
Xia Zaoan said nothing. After she and Bai Zeyan separated, the high-ranking official took her to see the extravagant splendor and the bloody violence of the underground boxing ring in the name of entertainment, using a combination of soft and hard tactics.
She looked at them calmly. The senior official once said to her, "Beautiful lady, you and Lin are very good friends. I know that you have a deep bond. If you can help us persuade Lin, all of this can be yours."
The senior executives pointed at money, jewelry, and male entertainment. After a long time, Xia Zaoan smiled.
"All these will be mine?" Her eyes were greedy.
The senior official smiled with satisfaction and nodded.
She followed him to this place and indeed met Ye Lin smoothly. Bai Zeyan was also there. She had wanted to find Ye Lin first and then rescue him.
The higher-ups put on a hypocritical mask. "You've done a great job, successfully discovering the existence of 0090. Y, in particular, I want to commend you for opening up this land for Gao Nation ahead of time and gathering information here. You've done a great job, and I can exempt you from the penalty for acting without authorization."
All members of Xuanren, return to the High Committee now to accept the investigation and cooperate with us to the utmost. The credit for this matter belongs to you."
Ye Lin listened to this nonsense, and the cold mockery in her eyes was so obvious that it was dazzling and embarrassing.
"Why is my friend here?" she asked coldly.
"Y, it's nothing. Your friends will naturally enjoy preferential treatment here. This is a reward for you."
"Heh, is it a reward or a threat?"
The senior executive still had a smile on his face. "You are the most valued member of the High Committee. We will protect the personal safety of your family and friends."
She nodded emphatically. "Since you're so afraid of my betrayal, fine. From now on, I will leave Hanging Blade."
The executive was shaken, feeling a wave of anxiety. "Y, what are you saying?"
"You are a core member of the team and have a great development plan. You shouldn't have such thoughts."
"I decide where I'm going."
"Y, I'm very angry. You've forgotten the mission and responsibility that Y, as a member of the Xuanren, must shoulder. The Gaoguo motto you've memorized tells you to respect your class."
"My name has never been Y! I'm Ye Lin." Ye Lin smashed the badge representing the Xuanren Group, and her breathing rose and fell as she declared her true self.
Hanging Blade looked at her actions in shock, and CC also took off Hanging Blade's emblem.
"In that case, take me with you too." She threw the badge on the ground.
"Hey, we're a complete team," Fioni said.
He took off the badge with two fingers, held it between his fingers and threw it casually, and the badge fell into the dirt.
"Red is right." He also destroyed the badge.
The high-ranking official was furious. "Aren't you afraid of the punishment from the Gao Kingdom?"
"I don't care about that," Fioni said.
Yuan looked at Gao Jonnis, his hanging blade badge neatly placed on his chest.
He noticed Yuan's gaze, and everyone except the two of them stood firmly beside Ye Lin.
After a long while, he said to him, "Yuan, you followed me into the Xuanren. What is your choice now?"
Yuan looked at the senior official and Ye Lin, lowered his head and remained silent.
Gao Jonnis didn't look at him again. He took off the hanging blade symbol with one hand and stood opposite Gao Guo.
"Gao..." He opened his mouth to keep him.
"You don't have to follow me anymore. You are the knight chosen by my family. Now I grant you freedom. Don't let other things affect your original intention. You should have your own thoughts."
"The Hanging Blade will be disbanded immediately!" Gao Jonnis shouted.
Xia Zaoan elbowed the soldier beside her while he wasn't paying attention, breaking free. She then used her wristband to fire a laser to disrupt Gao Bing's vision. She unleashed all the weapons her watch could fire at once, throwing them into a panic. She had mastered the watch to such an extent that she had practically exhausted all its functions.
Ever since that incident on the rooftop, she would never let herself be helpless again. After that, she frequently practiced the watch that Ye Lin had taught her, and asked Bai Zeyan to teach her a few self-defense techniques.
She ran out of the Gao Bing's encirclement, and the senior members of the High Committee shouted, "Yuan, stop her quickly."
Yuan moved towards her, and Xia Zaoan ran and looked at him nervously. As Yuan got closer and closer to her, she closed her eyes.
She was grabbed and tentatively opened her eyes. Ye Lin pulled her over and put her behind him with a firm look in her eyes.
Yuan knocked down the soldier chasing him, "Yuan, what are you doing?"
The top management watched him let Xia Zaoan run away, and Yuan raised his head.
"The Hanging Blade has not disbanded. As long as we are here, the Hanging Blade will remain. However, we will no longer take orders from the High Council."
A vast fog spread out from behind Xuan Ren, filling the entire sky and earth. Soon, everything was completely white, so white that even looking down, one couldn't see their feet. The high soldiers sensed danger and turned to guard against it.
He looked at his teammates, and there was trust and pride in their eyes.
The invisible wristbands on their hands vibrated, proclaiming their merit. The wristbands Ye Lin had secretly prepared for them were powerful and interconnected. From the moment Xia Zaoan stepped into the place, Ye Lin's wristband had been connected to hers, and the two of them secretly planned.
Everything was as planned. Xuanren acted out a scene. At the end of Gao Jonnis's breakup with Yuan, he calmly gave him a look, and Yuan immediately understood what he meant.
The Hanging Blade Squad also disappeared into the fog, and vaguely felt a dark shadow flash by.
A soldier was punched on the left cheek. He immediately fought back to the left and hit someone. The two of them started to wrestle with each other.
The other Gao soldiers were also attacked, and no one could see each other, leaving them isolated and helpless.
The senior executives looked around suspiciously and shouted, "Hey, Tiantou, what the hell are you doing?"
Xiaobai, Fioni and others appeared around him, and attacked in tacit coordination, and several hands and feet appeared on his body.
He squatted down with his head in his hands and wailed continuously. After beating them to his heart's content, they disappeared like ghosts.
The senior executive had a bruised and battered face, and soldiers kept pouring in from the entrance behind him.
"Capture them, and send those who resist to see the great Lord Gaoli!"
Gao’s soldiers were numerous, and Ye Lin’s men were too few to deal with them.
The ground shook, and stones leaped. A group of people rode up on horseback, and Jiuyi made a dashing appearance with the Chimo Sect's men.
"Who dares to invade my hometown?!" The huge commotion brought out the momentum of thousands of troops.
Dozens of strange-looking black shadows emerged from the white fog, like huge and terrifying monsters.
The soldiers' fear of this unknown territory reached its peak. The leaders, seeing the hundred-meter-high black shadow approaching, began to think of retreating.
"Let's go, let's go."
After hearing the order, the high-ranking soldiers returned the same way they came, and the high-ranking officials fled in a hurry, leaving with the soldiers through the exit.
As early as when Ye Lin met up with the team, she had already discovered the so-called entrance barrier. The entrance passage was one-way, and the exit was random. In fact, this was because the entrance and exit were double-layered, and when the two openings were aligned, they could enter and exit simultaneously.
The outer openings cannot be moved, but if one of the inner openings is moved, the rest will follow.
This continent's ability to shield external signals stems from a unique energy magnetic field. A massive energy surge is required to shift the opening. Xuan Ren and Jiu Yi split up. Jiu Yi detonated the energy bomb at the other opening, while Ye Lin calculated the appropriate distance and shift recovery time.
The strange illusion created here scares off the Gao soldiers, allowing them to exit smoothly. The merged entrance will be assimilated by the exit, the entrance channel will be closed, the exit channel will be randomized again, and the Gao soldiers will not be able to enter again.
The white mist dissipated, and Jiuyi dismounted. "He ran away right away, leaving me no room to maneuver."
"The people of Chimo Sect are precious, why do you bring so many people here?" Ye Lin didn't expect Jiuyi to come with people.
"If you are in trouble, I will definitely come. Moreover, I am the leader of the Chimo Sect here. It is my duty to prevent outsiders from encroaching."
"Are you all okay?" Jiuyi asked everyone with concern.
Seeing that they were all safe and sound, it was time for them to go back after finishing the battle.
Gao Guo will definitely hunt down Xuan Ren, so the team has no choice but to stay here for now.
On the way back, Ye Lin suddenly felt dizzy and fell unconscious.
"Linlin!" Everyone gathered around. Ye Lin was unconscious in Ji Jinyan's arms, with black blood flowing out of all her orifices.
"How could this happen?" Jiuyi was shocked.
"Hurry and take her back to Chimo Sect."
The group returned to the courtyard in a hurry. Ji Jinyan held her in his arms, and everyone protected her carefully.
"Mo Ping, Mo Ping!"
The door was opened and Ye Lin was placed on the bed. Mo Ping quickly asked what was going on.
She placed her hand on her pulse, her expression serious. She checked Ye Lin's condition again, "How is she?"
Jiuyi asked anxiously, and Mo Ping sucked up a drop of blood with a needle and observed it.
"I don't know yet."
"What do you mean you don't know?" Jiuyi asked.
"Everyone, go out and don't disturb me here." Mo Ping said. In the past, only difficult illnesses would make her feel like she was facing a great enemy.
The team tactfully closed the door and went out, taking Jiuyi with them.
"Linlin, everything will be fine, right?" Xia Zaoan's voice had a slight tremor at the end.
"Xiaolin has always managed to turn danger into safety, and this time will definitely be the same."
"Mo Ping is known as a divine doctor. Any disease she can't cure is truly incurable." As soon as Jiuyi said this sarcastic remark, everyone stared at him as if they saw an enemy.
Jiuyi shut his mouth silently and waited patiently.
Mo Ping was busy from dusk to dawn, with beads of sweat constantly appearing on his forehead.
She leaned against the stove while boiling medicine and dozed off for a while, her head sliding down and gradually tilting to the side.
A hand supported her face and Mo Ping woke up.
Seeing Ye Lin's pale face, he asked, "Why are you up?"
She said softly, "I'm thirsty." Ye Lin turned around and wanted to pour some water.
"Don't drink water yet. The toxins in your body haven't stabilized yet." She was stunned and gave up the idea.
Mo Ping walked up to her and questioned her, "You're not surprised, have you known for a long time that you are full of poison?"
Ye Lin, who had just woken up, was still very weak and exhausted. She sat down beside the bed.
"These toxins have been parasitic in your body for at least twenty years. They've formed a symbiotic balance with you, so there wasn't any impact. But now that balance has been broken, the toxins are repelling each other and colliding with your body."
"Has the poison in Zao An been removed?"
"So you know who caused the poison in you."
Ye Lin lowered her eyes and said, "Well, I felt it when Good Morning approached me, but I discovered it a little late."
To align their interests closely with Xuanren, the High Committee invested considerable effort in Ye Lin. The rooftop video, which had been erased by the High Committee, required the involvement of specialized technicians who invested considerable time and energy. The restored footage clearly showed a flash of blue in her eyes.
The High Commission was on high alert and had even analyzed Ye Lin's entire body data, obtained through illicit means. She had long been identified as a highly dangerous individual. The High Commission, backed by the Gao State, was rife with filthy schemes and schemes. They were eager to dismantle every bone in her body for a thorough examination and to devour her whole being.
Even if a blood-sucking insect were to die, it would still suck greedily. The senior executive brought Xia Zaoan with him, intending to provoke her and verify the rumors about her blue eyes. However, his cultivation was too shallow, and Ye Lin didn't take him seriously.
The High Committee would not be without a plan. If Xuanren's Y is out of their control, they will forcibly rescue Xia Zaoan.
Then the poison prepared specifically for Y would bring her bitter consequences. The top management put the specially made poison in Xia Zaoan's hair. When the rescued Xia Zaoan approached Ye Lin, the poison entered her body through her breath.
This poison wouldn't kill her immediately. Ye Lin's toxic nature meant no poison could harm her; eventually, a balance would be achieved within her body. However, the High Committee's poison was harmless yet catalytic, slowly accumulating within her body. Its initial toxicity was too low to accommodate the potent poison within Ye Lin's body, preventing it from immediately absorbing it and causing an imbalance. Now, the poison within her body was in complete disarray and erupting.
"The poison was so weak that the moment they arrived, the Qingjiexiang in my room detoxified them."
"That's good."
"What's good about that? Do you even realize your situation? There are so many toxins in your body that I've never even seen before. It's completely messed up. It's impossible for anyone to survive this level of poison. You're like someone's being used as a petri dish and container for poison."
Mo Ping couldn't bear to continue, "I'm sorry, I can't cure your poison, I can't cure you. You might..."
Ye Lin could feel the changes in her body and remained unusually calm and composed. "How much time do I have left?"
"Two years at most, a few months at least."
What do people think when they are entering the countdown of their lives? Ye Lin stood by the wooden guardrail, looking at the plants by the lake.
"Linlin."
She turned around, and he was still the same as when they first met. Ye Lin put her hand on his cheek and looked at him tenderly.
"Time flies so fast." She was a little reluctant to see the end coming soon. She seemed to have a kind and gentle divinity, conveying a strong and unyielding divinity.
"Are you still feeling uncomfortable?" Ji Jinyan held her hand back and shook it lightly with his head tilted.
Ye Lin shook her head with a smile on her face, and her steps suddenly became unsteady.
"I'll help you go back and rest." Ji Jinyan supported her.
Ye Lin lay down with his support, "What's wrong?"
Mo Ping was holding the medicine, anxiously wanting to check on her condition, but Ye Lin stopped her, "You just stood there for a long time."
