Where Are You, Jiang Lin?!

After the cannon shot, the Qian family mansion was reduced to ruins.

Meanwhile, the enormous Eight-Tailed Black Fox in the center of Donglin also withdrew its gaze, not believing that anyone could survive its cannon blast.

"Roar!!!"

The giant black fox roared at the blood-red full moon, and magic array patterns spread out like a spider web from the Central High Tower of Donglin City.

Cracks appeared on the ground where Donglin City was located, and a red liquid, like magma or blood, flowed through the cracks.

The ordinary residents of Donglin City were still fast asleep, their blood slowly converging into the magic array. If nothing unexpected happened, they would truly fall into a permanent slumber by dawn.

The unrest in Donglin City continues.

The Qian family residence.

The calligraphy note posted on the house has disappeared and is among the ruins of the house.

After about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the areas covered by the tiles beneath the surviving ruins began to loosen slightly.

"Splash."

Hu Shuang flung away the tiles covering her. At the same time, a Hu Shuang dog and a mandarin duck crawled out beside her, shaking off the dust...

"Cough cough cough..."

Coughing out the dust from her mouth, Hu Shuang looked at Qian Xiaopang, whom she was tightly protecting beneath her. Seeing his belly bobbing up and down, and him smacking his lips and scratching his chin, Hu Shuang breathed a sigh of relief.

only...

Hu Shuang looked at You You, who was squatting on the ruins, staring blankly at the spot where that beast had once stood.

The life force that once belonged to him has vanished...

Bing...

Just like the coin toss at the beginning of <Unnatural>, in the east of Donglin City, a man appeared out of nowhere and is now engaged in a fierce battle with assassins from the Dugu Demonic Sect!

In fact, Jiang Lin was resurrected on the spot after that shot.

Honestly, Jiang Lin felt that even if he fought back desperately, he would still inevitably die.

While Jiang Lin was anxiously checking their vital signs, he was genuinely surprised to find that they were still alive, and only temporarily unconscious, with stable vital signs.

This made Jiang Lin think more highly of the [Shou] copybook.

However, it's just a slightly overestimation.

Jiang Lin felt that most of the credit should go to him.

If I hadn't risked my life to protect it, would this calligraphy model have been able to retain its value?

Jiang Lin realized he shouldn't underestimate himself anymore; in fact, he was quite strong if he unleashed his full potential.

Jiang Lin Jiang Lin originally intended to dig them out, but after hearing a loud bang (it sounded like High Explosive Grenade) coming from the street east of Donglin City, Jiang Lin gave up.

Rather than digging them out, it's much more reliable to let them play dead in the ruins.

So Jiang Lin took off on his Sword Flight and flew eastward.

However, First Snow, who had died once, seemed to be throwing a tantrum... She almost threw Jiang Lin off several times during the flight.

Even now, when facing the enemy, it seems to be throwing a tantrum.

"Holy crap, Little Lin, I thought you were dead! I even shed a few tears."

In the alley, Qin Xiao, who was back-to-back with Jiang Lin defending against the enemy, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

Jiang Lin Ripple Slash, freezing several assassins who had leaped into the air into ice sculptures with white sword energy. "Just kidding! I will absolutely not die until my 'harem' dream is realized!"

"..."

"But senior brother, what are you doing here? Where are the senior sisters?"

"Well, it's a long story. It all started after we went fishing this afternoon, I..."

"Make a long story short!"

"Oh... I left the Qian residence and got surrounded. After escaping, I returned to the inn, but my senior sister and the others were gone. There were only signs of a fight. I wanted to go to the Qian residence to find you, but there were too many pursuers, and I couldn't get away... Little Lin, do you think my senior sister will be alright?"

"No! I believe in my senior sister!"

Jiang Lin gripped the First Snow tightly and took a deep breath.

At this moment, they were surrounded by assassins from both sides. Although these assassins were not very powerful, at most they were only at the late stage of the Sea Gazing Realm, and most of them were assassins at or below the Cave Mansion Realm.

The problem is that there are too many of them...

"Little Lin, what do we do now?"

Looking at the assassins standing on the ground and crouching on the wall, Qin Xiao broke out in a cold sweat...

"Find our senior sister! We must find our senior sister!"

"Junior brother..."

Hearing Jiang Lin's earnest, serious, and affectionate words, Qin Xiao couldn't help but wipe away Jiang Lin's tears, his own eyes welling up like those of an old father.

My junior brother has finally figured it out.

Sure enough, in Junior Brother Jiang's heart, Senior Sister Lin still holds the most important place. Even at this critical moment of life and death, he doesn't forget Senior Sister Lin. This is true love!

After the battle of Donglin City, I'm going to go to my junior brother and senior sister's wedding party~~~

"Senior brother, why are you crying?"

Jiang Lin was stunned to see Qin Xiao wiping away her tears.

"It's alright, junior brother. I'm just happy. I didn't expect you to be worried about your senior sister's safety even at a time like this."

"What the hell? I'm worried about our safety!"

"Um?"

"Only by finding our senior sister! By clinging tightly to her leg! Will we have a glimmer of hope?"

"Ha?"

"Senior brother! Let's charge!"

As soon as Jiang Lin finished speaking, a group of assassins pounced on Jiang Lin like crows.

"Little Lin! Where are you! Little Lin! Little Lin!"

Having just landed on the edge of the Qian Mansion ruins, Lin Qingwan searched for signs of life beneath the rubble while shouting loudly.

But beneath these ruins, after enduring that massive bombardment, all that remained was deathly silence.

Anxiety kept filling her heart.

She couldn't imagine what would happen if something happened to Little Lin.

If something happens to Little Lin... then what meaning does this world have?

"Little Lin! Answer me! Little Lin!"

Lin Qingwan's tone grew increasingly urgent.

Finally, amidst the ruins of several buildings in the darkness ahead, there seemed to be signs of life, and even fluctuations of Spiritual Power!

"Jiang Lin! Where are you! Jiang Lin!"

On the other side, Xiao Xueli was also calling out incessantly...

"Xueli! Go around these ruins! There are no cultivators there!"

The Elder Sister Sword Spirit within Xiao Xueli suddenly cried out.

Jiang Lin!

A glint of joy flashed in the girl's eyes, and she ran quickly forward...

"Little Lin, please be alright. I will definitely protect you."

The two women ran towards the same spot, sharing the same feelings and thoughts.

And at this moment...

Jiang Lin was riding Qin Xiao, constantly trying to break through the encirclement...

We arrived at the Spring Breeze Pavilion Street...
