The sword rain used a secret technique to teleport Chen Yao into the Broken Sword City.

As soon as he entered the Broken Sword City, Chen Yao could already feel the incoming bloody stench. From afar, he could still see the Octadic Snake charging at him. Its huge head and massive body made him feel intimidated.

Chen Yao carefully retracted his aura and carefully headed towards the Bluestone Lane in the northern part of the city. He first went to investigate Jiang Sheng's fate.

Along the way, Chen Yao only encountered a small number of Corpse Monsters, all of whom were instantly killed by his sword.

Presumably, a large number of Corpse Monsters had already been eaten by the Octadic Great Snake, and the remaining small portion were fleeing in all directions, not daring to show their faces.

"Is it here?"

After speeding along for more than an hour, Chen Yao stopped at the entrance of a narrow alleyway. Unlike the other buildings in Broken Sword City, this alleyway was filled with low-lying huts that reeked of blood and sewage.

Chen Yao looked at the map in his hand. After confirming that it was a limestone alley, he walked into it.

"Little sister, leave quickly."

Suddenly, an ear-piercing scream was heard from the front.

Chen Yao's body shuddered as he carefully leapt onto the wall.

"Jiang Sheng?"

Chen Yao was overjoyed. The person in the yard was actually Jiang Sheng, but very soon, Chen Yao's face darkened. Because there were two more Corpse Monsters in the yard, Jiang Sheng was currently fighting with two more Corpse Monsters, but he was clearly at a disadvantage.

To the side was the corpse of a woman who had long since changed her appearance. There was also a young girl about Lin Wan'er's age who was curled up in fear and trembling. It was obvious that she was quite frightened.

"Thud."

Jiang Sheng was ruthlessly struck in the abdomen by a Corpse Monster, causing his entire body to fly backwards. He fell to the ground, fresh blood gushing out from his abdomen.

"Brother."

The little girl threw herself at Jiang Sheng, crying bitterly.

Jiang Sheng fell to the ground, his eyes tightly shut. It was unknown whether he was dead or alive.

"I'll fight you guys."

It was unknown where the little girl got the courage from, but she suddenly stood up and rushed towards the two Corpse Monsters.

"Ugh."

How could she be a match for the Corpse Monster? It grabbed her by the throat and lifted her up. The feeling of death completely enveloped the little girl.

Just when she was about to close her eyes and lose consciousness, a bright sword light flashed by. Two red crystals flew out from the two Corpse Monsters' heads and they turned into ashes.

Her petite body was about to fall to the ground, but she suddenly crashed into a warm chest.

Chen Yao embraced her.

The feeling of having survived a calamity was extremely stimulating. She subconsciously held tightly onto Chen Yao's neck, her eyelashes trembling as she exhaled.

"You, are you here to save us?"

"Yes."

Chen Yao nodded.

The girl buried her head in Chen Yao's bosom and fell into a deep slumber.

Chen Yao carried the girl into the room and helped Jiang Sheng into the room to treat their injuries. As for the woman, she should be the mother of the siblings. She died a miserable death and Chen Yao set fire to her, incinerating her to prevent the two of them from waking up and feeling sad.

Half a quarter of an hour later, Jiang Sheng was the first to open his eyes.

"I'm still alive?"

When he saw himself lying in his room, he was astonished.

"Little sister, where's little sister?"

Jiang Sheng sat up abruptly and discovered that his sister, Jiang Ni, was lying beside him, breathing evenly. He could not help but let out a long sigh of relief.

"You're awake?" A man's voice came from the side.

Jiang Sheng hastily turned his head and looked at Chen Yao, who was leaning against the wall.

"Senior brother Chen Yao."

Jiang Sheng's eyes shone brightly as if he was overjoyed, but his expression soon turned sullen again.

"Senior Brother, you haven't escaped from Broken Sword City either?"

"I took the three of you with me this time. Now that He Yuan and Wang Tian are dead, I came back to find you. I had already prepared to collect your corpse, but fortunately, you were still alive. Otherwise, I really wouldn't know how to explain it to the service disciples."

Hearing that Chen Yao had come back to save him, Jiang Sheng was extremely touched. However, when he heard the news of He Yuan and Wang Tian's deaths, Jiang Sheng was also extremely saddened.

"Life and death are determined by fate. What does this have to do with you, Senior Brother Chen Yao?" You have brought too much glory to these service disciples. Even if they were to die, I don't think they would have any regrets. "

Chen Yao was silent. He did not say anything.

At this moment, Jiang Ni woke up.

"Big brother."

The moment she woke up, she rushed into Jiang Sheng's arms and cried bitterly.

A young girl like them, who had never been in the world of cultivation before, would naturally feel sad and fearful when she encountered such a terrible thing. Especially when she lost her mother. The great grief made her feel wronged and sad.

Although Jiang Sheng felt sad in his heart, he did not reveal it. Instead, he gently pushed Jiang Ni away and endured the pain as he flipped over, landing on the ground.

"Thud."

Jiang Sheng knelt in front of Chen Yao. Chen Yao rushed to support Jiang Sheng, but was pushed away by Jiang Sheng.

Senior brother Chen Yao, you are my benefactor. Ever since we met, our fates have changed. If it weren't for your guidance, I would still be working hard as a laborer and being bullied by others. It was you who made me a true sword cultivator.

"I, Jiang Sheng, cannot repay this debt. From today onwards, my life shall be yours. I will do my best to repay your kindness."

Chen Yao only acted according to his heart. He never thought of asking Jiang Sheng to repay him. Jiang Sheng's words truly frightened Chen Yao.

Chen Yao said, "You think too much. You treat me like an older brother, I treat you like a brother. This is what I should do. Don't slap my face."

He helped Jiang Sheng up.

Sitting on the bed beside him, Jiang Ni, who was hugging her legs, kept furtively watching Chen Yao. It was unknown what she was thinking about as her face turned increasingly flushed. In the end, she actually buried her face in her hands.

Chen Yao still had a mission to complete, so he told Jiang Sheng.

"You and Jiang Ni find a safe place to hide, I still need to find something very important."

Jiang Sheng knew that he couldn't help much, so he nodded his head heavily.

However, when she heard that Chen Yao was going to look for something, Jiang Ni, who had been sneaking a peek at Chen Yao, suddenly raised her head. A trace of a complacent expression appeared on her face as she said that.

"Looking for something? Do you want me to help you? "

Chen Yao was stunned. How could a weak little girl help him?

On the other hand, Jiang Sheng suddenly awakened and said, "Senior Brother, maybe my sister can really help you."

Hearing Jiang Sheng's words, Chen Yao became even more at a loss.

Jiang Sheng explained, "Senior Brother, you're not an outsider, so I'll tell you a secret. Although my sister can't cultivate, she has an innate divine ability; every time a neighbor loses something, my sister will help them find it. She has a strong feeling towards all things natural, and if you describe what you're looking for, she might really be able to help you."

"Heavenly girl?"

The sword spirit that had suddenly become silent whispered in Chen Yao's mind.
