Gu Yang walked over and helped Xu Ruomei up.
“I don’t need your help.”
After Xu Ruomei got up, she wanted to shake his hand off, but she didn’t have the strength to do so.
She didn’t want to owe this man any more favors.
Gu Yang said irritably, “You think I enjoy helping you? If the Sword Palace hadn’t been so domineering, I wouldn’t even bother about your life and death.
If you want to die, don’t involve me.”
If he left her here and she died, the Sword Palace would definitely hold him accountable.
Xue E might hide it from the Lin family, because the Lin family wished to absorb the Fang family. However, she would undoubtedly not cover for him with the Sword Palace.
At this moment, there were footsteps outside.
“Silence.”
Gu Yang grabbed Xu Ruomei’s arm, jumped over the wall, and disappeared into the night.
Right after he had left, those who arrived discovered Lin Ge lying in a pool of blood. Instantly, the entire Lin residence was thrown into chaos.

No wonder she couldn’t bear it; she was only Fourth Rank.
But it seemed; not only did this thing absorb True Qi, but also life force.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t be this weak.
Martial artists had extremely tough bodies, far stronger than ordinary people.
“It needs to be unlocked as soon as possible. You’re not going to hold up much longer.” Gu Yang said in a deep voice.
“Lin Zisheng… should have… the key…”
He was joking right? Lin Zisheng was Second Grade, Gu Yang certainly couldn’t mess with him.
He asked, “What about your Sword Slave?”
“He’s… tied up by Lin Zisheng”
“Otherwise, I’ll take you back to Sword Palace. Your master should know how to unlock the Essence Sealing Bracelet.”
Xu Ruomei’s voice was weak, but her attitude was firm, “The Sword Palace…
