Chapter 160: The Girl's Letter
As the Full Treasure Sword descended from above, Lian Yun suddenly spread her arms, causing thousands of long swords to scatter into the audience. Regardless of their skill levels, many who were not sword users also received these precious blades.
To outsiders, this might seem like a minor mistake on Lian Yun's part.
However, the Ten People were taken aback, as some among them were actually very skilled with swords. They typically refrained from using them to conceal their true abilities or identities, or perhaps they had inexplicably abandoned swordsmanship for other weapons.
Lian Yun paid no mind to this and ignored the long swords that filled the air.
Meanwhile, Lin's Three Uncles hovered in midair, splitting the Full Treasure Sword into three parts, each one holding a mountain of Greatswords.
Lin Dong looked down at Lian Yun and smiled, saying, "Let your subordinates take them home."
In truth, this was something that did not require Lian Yun's intervention; Zhou Tong and the others would have learned of it anyway. Although Lin Dong was addressing Lian Yun, he was essentially speaking to Zhou Tong and the others.
Lian Yun nodded in agreement and then swiftly made her way to the Lin Clan's viewing platform. Seeing her three uncles sending off a massive number of swords, she turned to her Grandma and asked, "Grandma, may I have a send-off from you?"
Grandma's eyes were filled with reluctance, but she still nodded.
This time was different from the past three years. Although she hadn't seen Lian Yun during that time, she could have met her at any moment. However, once Lian Yun arrived in Yin Yang City, such meetings would become impossible.
Grandma felt helpless; once her granddaughter made up her mind, there was truly no one who could dissuade her.
Thus, Grandma took Lian Yun and Lin Nan away from the viewing platform.
In the audience, many people hurriedly stood up—not out of concern for what other contestants might receive—but to bid farewell to Lian Yun.
They had barely gotten up when they could no longer see Lian Yun and Grandma.
Lian Yun had already declared war on the Demon Clan, which meant that the Demon Clan would likely send someone to Yin Yang City to kill Lian Yun. It was crucial for Lian Yun to arrive at Yin Yang City as soon as possible to prepare for an impending attack.
Otherwise, if the Demon Clan or certain individuals from Huaxia arrived first and set up a trap, it would be extremely dangerous for Lian Yun.
Thus, Grandma moved forward almost entirely.
First, she passed by Lian Yun's three uncles, then returned to the capital city, exiting from another side of the city before heading south, stopping at the border between Huaxia and the European Union.
Yin Yang City had two long train routes: one that ran through the Eurasian continent and another that crossed the American continent. These trains continuously transported 'population' to Yin Yang City.
Moreover, to ensure a steady influx of people, the Eternal Emperor had decreed that no fighting was allowed within a hundred meters on either side of the train tracks. Even the Demon Clan and the Demon Emperor dared not violate this rule, let alone the human race without an emperor.
Once Grandma sent Lian Yun to the edge of the tracks, she relaxed slightly but her gaze remained filled with reluctance.
Lian Yun had no better words of comfort; he could only hold Grandma's hand and wait silently for the train's arrival.
Lin Nan was also acting unusually quiet.
Before long, a figure suddenly appeared not far from Lian Yun—Ximen Qianlie, looking disheveled and wearing a fierce expression as he glared over.
Lian Yun could clearly feel Grandma's hand tense up for a moment. Then he heard her cold, almost cruel words: "Notify your Uncle, Second Uncle, and your father to wipe out every last bloodline of the Ximen Family—leave not a single one alive."
"You dare, you old hag~~~"
"You old beast, try insulting my grandma again." Lin Nan instantly erupted in rage, his face twisting into a similar ferocity.
But Grandma drank to say, "Nan."
"Yes!" Lin Nan hurriedly contacted his father.
Lian Yun gently patted Grandma's hand, comforting her, "Grandma, when I defeated Xue Qiong, I didn't use any spiritual power or Ghost Slave. Don't worry, an old dog like him is nothing I can't handle."
Lian Yun then slightly turned his head, casting a disdainful glance at Ximen Qianlie, who wore a face twisted with the ferocity of a vengeful spirit from a thousand years ago.
Grandma intended to use the threat of annihilation to intimidate Ximen Qianlie, forcing him not to board the vehicle and not to pursue Lian Yun.
However, Ximen Qianlie seemed completely blinded by hatred, ignoring Grandma's threats entirely. Instead, he coldly stared at Lian Yun and cruelly hissed, "Beast, I won't kill you. I'll make you wish for death but be unable to find it. You'll watch as the Lin Family falls one by one before you—men turned into beasts, women subjected to countless men."
With that, Ximen Qianlie displayed a smile more grotesque than a ghost's wail.
Yet Lian Yun showed no sign of anger. He merely shook his head lightly and replied, "Old dog, you're thinking too much. Soon, everyone who comes after me will return empty-handed. Naturally, you won't be an exception."
"However, I originally only intended to kill you. Since you've said such things, I'll ensure you wish for death but cannot find it."
"Yun'er, killing is permissible, but torture is not—no matter your reasons," Grandma said sternly, her expression serious as she looked at Lian Yun.
To Grandma, killing swiftly could be seen as a form of justice; however, torturing a life was against all morals and humanity. She could agree with the former but absolutely not with the latter.
Lian Yun had initially wanted to argue back but realized Grandma's stance was firm. He understood this was her bottom line; if he opposed her, she might bind him and prevent him from going to Yin Yang City.
Thus, Lian Yun had no choice but to compromise. Still filled with lingering anger, he turned to Ximen Qianlie and coldly remarked, "Old dog, consider yourself lucky."
At this moment, Lian Yun felt somewhat arrogant because he truly did not have the ability to kill Ximen Qianlie right now.
However, Grandma was not one to blame, instead pulling out a letter from her bosom. "A young lady entrusted me to deliver this to you."
Lian Yun was somewhat puzzled, but upon receiving it, he felt an inexplicable familiar scent—not Grandma's, but that of a young girl.
"Is this a letter from Le Yan?" Although it was a question, Lian Yun couldn't help but feel eager to open the envelope.
But he was stopped by Grandma.
Grandma pressed down on Lian Yun's hand and shot a glance at Ximen Qianlie, her tone cold. "If you step outside a hundred meters, it will be your moment of certain death."
These words caused Ximen Qianlie, who had been wearing a sinister expression, to suddenly darken.
Yet Grandma paid him no mind and looked at Lian Yun with a complex expression. "You can read it once you're in the car."
What Grandma thought was that perhaps like that charming girl, she could make Lian Yun stay. However, the Lian Yun who stayed would inevitably regret it for life.
Seeing Grandma's demeanor and recalling her smile during last night's dinner, Lian Yun began to form a suspicion. Yet it was precisely because of this suspicion that he suppressed his urge to read the letter and carefully placed the envelope into his bosom.
