Chen Tian also asked, "What's the situation with Elder Lin? Oh, I remember I helped him break through to the Grandmaster realm before. Why is he like this? He has suffered a fatal and very serious injury. Who did it?"
Facing Chen Tian's inquiry, everyone lowered their heads dejectedly. Then Lin Shangxue, Lin Xue's father, stepped forward and said, "This all started when my father broke through to the Grandmaster realm."
"Yes!"
A group of people also looked up at the sky with emotion. Chen Tian said, "We'll talk about it later. I want to heal Elder Lin's body first."
"Is that really possible, Senior Ling Ren!"
Lin Shangxue looked at Chen Tian excitedly. After all, his father's condition was so dire that many martial arts doctors had declared him near death. Yet, this young man in front of him claimed he could heal his father.
If one can live, why wouldn't they want to? Who would want to die?
Chen Tian nodded, then looked at Lin Moran and said, "Elder Lin, I'm going to treat you. Don't move for now. Wait for my treatment, or your time is running out."
Lin Moran also said, "It's just life and death. Even if it's healed, I only have a few years left. I just hope Lin Xue can be safe!"
Chen Tian listened to Lin Moran's words and simultaneously sensed something. The people around him became even more disheartened. Chen Tian then asked, "Could this matter involve Lin Xue?"
Lin Moran nodded, coughed a few times, and Chen Tian, without hesitation, moved behind Lin Moran. He then pointed his fingers, pressing them onto Lin Moran's back. Lin Moran felt a sharp pain and then vomited out a large amount of black liquid.
Chen Tian then stopped his movements. The black liquid began to writhe on its own, looking very disgusting. Chen Tian waved his hand, and intense flames incinerated the liquid. Under the burning flames, the liquid turned into steam and dissipated.
Chen Tian's eyes snapped open, as if something had shattered. A gentle breeze blew through the room, and the mysterious atmosphere that had pervaded it instantly vanished.
Chen Tian said, "Alright, let Elder Lin rest for a while, and he will recover."
Chen Tian then looked at the people around him and asked, "How did Elder Lin get involved with this thing?"
The moment the black liquid was expelled, Chen Tian knew it was something from the Evil Spirit race. But how could something from the Evil Spirit race be inside Elder Lin?
It was the black liquid that had been continuously corroding Lin Moran's body, causing his condition. However, after expelling this substance, Lin Moran's body instantly recovered. The recovery ability of a martial artist was quite powerful.
The only thing that remained unchanged was his white hair. Chen Tian had done his best. If his power had been more integrated, he might have been able to extend Lin Moran's lifespan, but unfortunately, the integration was too slow.
Then Lin Moran said gratefully, "Thank you, Grandmaster Chen. I'll go rest. You discuss it amongst yourselves. They will explain the situation to you."
Lin Moran then went to rest, and Chen Tian stayed to chat with everyone. After a long time, night fell, and Chen Tian finally heard the complete story.
Chen Tian was, of course, shocked. He then asked, "So you're saying Lin Xue is a node, and if Lin Xue dies, the connected node beneath the Lin family will be completely released, is that right?"
"That's right!"
However, Chen Tian was still confused. He had no memory of this. Where did this node come from? Then the scene directly blurred. Chen Tian felt as if he had arrived in the sky. While Chen Tian was pondering, this was a good opportunity to resolve his doubts.
He then spoke to the sky, "Heavenly Dao, what is going on? I remember there was no such clause when we signed the contract before!"
A colossal eye slowly opened in the sky, and a voice like a deity echoed, "You have not fully recovered the memory of the contract. The integration speed is too slow. I don't need to explain this; you know it yourself."
Then Chen Tian's scene returned to the room. Chen Tian thought it over carefully. He found that he had indeed not recovered a part of the contract's memory.
Chen Tian then said, "Since that's the case, we can only protect Lin Xue. Otherwise, if the seal breaks, the entire world will perish."
"Yes!"
Based on what Lin Shangxue had explained, Chen Tian understood everything. Lin Xue was the connecting node. The nodes connecting the real world and the spiritual realm were all sealed together. But Lin Xue herself was the seal. As long as Lin Xue was alive, the Evil Spirit race, sealed in the node channel on the spiritual realm side, could not come out. As for why the Lin family knew all of this, Chen Tian was not very clear. Perhaps it was because his memory had not fully integrated yet.
"Brother! Where are you?"
Suddenly, a voice echoed in Chen Tian's mind. It was Qing Ling's voice. Chen Tian conveyed what he knew to Qing Ling.
Qing Ling's voice spoke again, "Brother, the Lin family might be descendants of the Mo family from the spiritual realm. They were entrusted with the duty of guarding the seal. It's just that you haven't recovered your memory yet, so you don't know. Their duty is to guard the seal. As for the node, it should be an additional condition you set when signing the contract. Qing Ling doesn't know either, as only you and the Heavenly Dao of the two worlds were present when the contract was signed. No one else was there."
Chen Tian then broke the telepathic communication and looked at the Lin family members. No matter what, Lin Xue had to be protected now. The seal must not be broken, or it would be the end of the world!
Chen Tian then looked at the layout of the entire manor and had a sudden inspiration. He seemed to be thinking of something. After a period of time, Chen Tian said, "I have a way to protect Lin Xue's safety, but Lin Xue cannot leave this manor, otherwise, it will be useless."
"What way is it!"
Everyone became excited. Chen Tian willed it, and the pen and paper on the table moved instantly, creating a list that appeared on the table. Chen Tian said, "Collect all the materials on this list, then notify me, and I will forge a barrier to protect Lin Xue's safety."
Everyone looked at the materials, which numbered in the hundreds, but they still nodded in agreement, vowing to collect them all. Suddenly, an explosion sounded, the sound of artillery fire. Chen Tian activated his divine eyes. As everyone was about to rush out, Chen Tian said, "Go find the materials. I will protect the Lin family. You are not their match. The opponent is not human."
"Yes!"
Chen Tian was the most powerful person among them in terms of strength and cultivation, so they naturally obeyed him. Otherwise, what else could they do? What he said was true; their martial arts were completely ineffective against the opponents.
Chen Tian's figure then flashed with a cold glint. "The Evil Spirit race has come so quickly. But with just two of them appearing, they are already so powerful? I really don't know how many Evil Spirit race members are living in the human world now."
Then his figure transformed into a beam of light and disappeared from the room.
Outside the Lin family's estate, countless guards and martial artists were raising their rocket launchers, while pistols and machine guns continuously fired bullets. But when these hit the two individuals standing before the gate, the bullets and shells instantly turned into black energy and floated into the sky.
The two humans from the Evil Spirit race also said, "These are useless against us. Hand over the node obediently, and let me kill him. Then this planet will be ours, hahaha!"
