Chapter 443 Swear to Defend Lin State to the Death

Si Jianye's expression was terrifyingly grim inside the carriage. His well-defined knuckles clenched into a fist, and a chilling male voice escaped his lips, "Have you two hugged enough?"

He had never been this intimate with Feng Ninghe.

Even though they were siblings, they couldn't be hugging and embracing.

Si Jianye was on the verge of physically separating them.

His words instantly reminded Feng Ninghe.

She released her grip and hurriedly said, "Brother, back then I blindly trusted Uncle's family and didn't heed your warning. Father and Mother were both harmed by them! Although I've already avenged them, Father and Mother can never return..."

Uncle's family had already received their just deserts and punishment.

She had also brought justice for everyone.

Mentioning this, Feng Linyuan let out a muffled hum, his eyes turning slightly cold. "They were the ones who attacked me back then, nearly killing me on the battlefield. If I hadn't reacted quickly, we wouldn't have the chance to recognize each other today."

Feng Ninghe said without hesitation, "Brother, quickly tell me, what have you experienced all these years? Why did you attack Ji Binyu and Lin Yuran?"

Facing her inquiry, Feng Linyuan explained everything.

Over the years, he had cultivated desperately and, by chance, gained many opportunities.

He had inadvertently learned of the schemes of Ji Binyu and Lin Yuran, and had tracked them all the way, determined to end their lives.

In the end, he witnessed countless human puppets pouring out from a black hole...

Feng Ninghe briefly recounted her own experiences.

She then looked at Si Xin Xin, "Xin Xin, this is your Uncle Feng Linyuan, my full brother."

Si Xin Xin blinked her bright eyes, her tender face incredibly cute. Her childish voice was soft and sweet, "Uncle."

Looking at the child before him, Feng Linyuan couldn't help but smile, "She truly resembles my younger sister."

Feng Ninghe then introduced everyone in the carriage one by one.

When introducing Si Jianye, he spoke up proactively, "Brother-in-law, Xin Xin was born to Ninghe and me. I am also Ninghe's husband."

"Pfft!"

After his words, Feng Ninghe almost spat out the tea she had just taken.

This man... he was quick to acknowledge family...

Feng Linyuan looked at Si Jianye with slight satisfaction.

The man before him was handsome and well-matched with his younger sister, but he was far too cold.

So, his younger sister had a preference for this type...

Su Hongxiu offered a faint smile and politely said, "Brother Feng, I regard Miss Feng as a close friend. Since you are her brother, you are also my brother. If you don't mind, I will call you that from now on."

Feng Linyuan nodded without hesitation and agreed, his gaze then falling on Su Hongxiu.

The man before him was dignified and refined, with a gentle and elegant demeanor, and equally handsome.

Su Hongxiu and Si Jianye were like two extremes.

One was an elegant young master, with a kind and warm smile. The other was so cold it sent shivers down one's spine.

Si Jianye, however, raised his eyebrows at this moment, his icy gaze sweeping over Su Hongxiu, "I didn't expect Young Master Su to have a hobby of casually acknowledging relatives."

His voice was devoid of any emotion.

Yet, hearing such a voice inexplicably displeased Su Hongxiu, who met Si Jianye's gaze directly.

Their eyes met, both holding an indescribable depth. The atmosphere in the carriage stiffened slightly.

Sensing the unusual atmosphere, Feng Linyuan changed the subject, "I thought the human puppets had been completely eliminated. I didn't expect the barrier to have protected Lin Country."

Feng Ninghe's heart was also filled with doubt at this moment, "The human puppets came from the Dragon Realm. Wouldn't Ji Binyu and Lin Yuran going to the Dragon Realm be sending themselves to their deaths?"

Her intuition told her that this matter was not simple.

Lin Yuran and Ji Binyu were cunning. They were not fools and wouldn't push themselves to their deaths.

These two even boasted that they would wait for her in the Dragon Realm.

Feng Linyuan pondered for a long time before speaking, "The place they went to was not the black hole, but another rift. I don't know the specifics."

Si Jianye slightly raised his eyelids and moved his thin lips, "Only by reaching the Dragon Realm can the truth be known."

The truth he sought was also in the Dragon Realm.

The barrier to the Dragon Realm had already been broken, and he could go to the Dragon Realm at any time.

It was just...

Si Jianye unconsciously looked in Feng Ninghe's direction, his ink-deep eyes showing a hint of hesitation...

"Everyone, charge! We absolutely cannot let these damned human puppets break through! Otherwise, Lin Country will cease to exist, and our loved ones will not escape death!"

"Kill the human puppets! Defend Lin Country to the death!"

"Even if I die, I won't let these human puppets have an easy time!"

Shouts and clamor came from outside the carriage.

The carriage also stopped at this moment. The coachman respectfully opened the carriage door, "Your Majesty, we have arrived at the Canyon Forest."

Without hesitation, everyone quickly disembarked from the carriage.

Feng Ninghe saw the scene before her clearly.

Moonlight poured down onto the Canyon Forest, bathing the surroundings in a silvery glow.

Dense human puppets writhed and twisted their massive, green limbs. Their skin was uneven, and their eyes, glowing red, were particularly terrifying.

Their sizes varied, with even the smallest being taller than a man.

Lin Country's soldiers were fighting desperately, and many wounded soldiers lay on the ground.

"This..."

Bai Niannian was stunned, her eyes fixed on the human puppets not far away.

The human puppets were countless, and numerous massive green hands were clawing at the black hole, with puppets occasionally falling out.

Even Feng Ninghe was taken aback by the sight, her eyes fixed on the black hole.

No one knew how many more human puppets there were.

If the black hole wasn't sealed, the consequences would be unimaginable...

Soldiers bravely charged forward, fighting fiercely with the human puppets. It even took multiple soldiers to surround and kill a single puppet.

The cultivation levels of these human puppets varied, with occasional Nascent Soul and Divinity Transformation stage beings. Such puppets were not something ordinary soldiers could handle.

The state affairs and ministers were in a panic.

"Your Majesty, more troops are gathering here, but there are too many human puppets, and their cultivation is also high..."

The Grand Tutor felt his scalp tingle, his eyelids twitching uncontrollably. "The soldiers are no match for the Nascent Soul human puppets, let alone the Divinity Transformation stage ones."

The ministers were in a frenzy, "What can be done? Where did so many human puppets come from?"

"Lin Country alone cannot deal with these human puppets, especially that black hole. Countless human puppets are falling through it, we must find a way to block it!"

"Weren't human puppets extinct a thousand years ago? Why have they reappeared now!"

The ministers chattered amongst themselves.

The appearance of the human puppets was a crisis for the entire Lin Country.

Even if they killed the current human puppets, more would come through the black hole.

"Ah! Help! This Nascent Soul human puppet is too powerful! My arm..."
