Signing In At Mount Sword For 100 Years To Become Invincible - Chapter 123

123 The Truth About the Death of the Sword God

Hearing that the Ten Miles Dragon Roar that Xiao Huai saw was complete, Lin Ran and Huo Qiyun stopped in their tracks.

Huo Qiyun’s expression darkened as he asked coldly, “Kid, are you sure the sword you saw is complete?”

“Positive.”

Xiao Huai explained firmly, “At that time, as soon as I came out of that cave, I noticed a very powerful aura on that sword, so I paid special attention to it.”

!!
Huo Qiyun’s eyes became colder. “Lin Ran! Why is the Ten Miles Dragon Roar you got broken? What did you do to the sword?!”

“Nothing. It was broken when I got it.”

Lin Ran said angrily without looking back. At this moment, he basically knew what was going on.

When the Ten Miles Sword God was in seclusion, he was ambushed by Liu Hongshan, who was Dragon Elephant Divine Master. Then, the two of them fought.

During the fight, perhaps because the seal was loosened or for some other reason, Xiao Huai escaped from Sword Grave and happened to see the scene of the two of them fighting and the Sword God dying.

After that, in order to silence Xiao Huai, Liu Hongshan attacked her. However, after severely injuring her, for some reason, not only did he not kill her, but he even took the initiative to heal Xiao Huai and tried to teach her the way to obtain greater power.

In the end, Xiao Huai left Mount Sword. After Liu Hongshan broke the Ten Miles Dragon Roar, he also left and started a massacre in seven villages near Mount Sword. From then on, his whereabouts were unknown.

From the beginning to the end, Xiao Huai had never fought the Ten Miles Sword God. The “old man” she mentioned and the Ten Miles Sword God were two different people!

Although most of this was Lin Ran’s guess, he was at least 70% confident that he was right. The remaining 30% lied in the “letter” in the stone room at the top of Mount Sword.

According to the letter, the situation back then was very simple.

At the critical moment of breaking through to the Half-Saint Realm, the Ten Miles Sword God was ambushed by the demon who had entered the Half-Saint Realm ahead of time. In the battle, the Ten Miles Dragon Roar was destroyed, and the demon escaped. The Sword God used his last breath to leave a letter and died.

However, there were many questions about this letter.

For example, the Ten Miles Dragon Roar was destroyed, but there were no fragments at the scene.

There were many similar questions. In short, when Lin Ran first saw the letter, he felt admiration and helplessness. However, as he gathered more and more information, he felt that everything was strange.

Actually, Lin Ran already had a reasonable guess about the questions in the letter, but he still needed to verify it, so he didn’t intend to say it now.

As he was thinking, Lin Ran suddenly felt someone grab his shoulder. He thought that Xiao Huai had taken the opportunity to sneak attack him, but when he turned around, he realized that it was the angry Huo Qiyun.

“What are you doing again?”

Lin Ran sighed and asked helplessly, “You’re a hostage now, so you have to act like one. What do you think the demon will think if you move around without her permission? Even if she is not my match, you can’t look down on her like this, right?”

Xiao Huai pouted, her big black eyes filled with grievance. “Why do I feel that you look down on me more…”

“That’s not important.”

Lin Ran waved his hand and instantly flashed ten steps away. “No matter what, remember to keep a distance.”

Huo Qiyun was about to chase after him when he heard this. He put down his foot and looked at Lin Ran coldly. “Again, why is the Ten Miles Dragon Roar you obtained a broken sword… Don’t tell me you don’t know!”

“I don’t know.”

Seeing that Huo Qiyun was about to ask again, Lin Ran’s expression darkened as he shouted coldly, “Shut up! I’ll tell you what you want to know, but not now! Are you so stupid as to bring up such a sensitive topic in front of the enemy?”

Huo Qiyun was stunned. He subconsciously turned to look at Xiao Huai on his back and immediately bit his lower lip.

Annoyed by the two of them, Xiao Huai tightened her grip and her nails dug into Huo Qiyun’s flesh. “Shut up, the two of you! If anyone says another word, I’ll kill him immediately! Do you hear me?”

After waiting for a few seconds without receiving a response, Xiao Huai asked again, “Did you hear me? Are you all mute!”

“You don’t let us talk.”

Lin Ran shrugged. Xiao Huai was so angry that she was about to vomit blood. Ever since she came into being, she had never been looked down on like this!

However, Xiao Huai was still relatively calm. She didn’t do anything irrational because of anger. She waved her hand to signal Lin Ran to continue walking.

The journey was silent. In the blink of an eye, half an hour passed and they finally reached the end of the long stone staircase.

Lin Ran stood on the platform at the bottom of the stone staircase. Not far in front of him was a stone wall. On it was an exquisite and complicated array formation made of adamantine and five-colored gems.

Huo Qiyun was held hostage by Xiao Huai and stopped on the steps more than ten steps away from the bottom. However, when he saw the array formation, he couldn’t help but look shocked.

“What’s going on? Why is there such a place under the palace?”

Huo Qiyun widened his eyes in shock. “And I actually never knew!”

“It’s normal that you don’t know. This is one of the greatest secrets of the Heavenly Saint Dynasty. There are probably less than five people in the entire dynasty who know about the existence of this place.”

As Lin Ran spoke, he waved his hand, and the mahogany sword appeared in his hand. “Xiao Huai, I’m going to undo the seal next. I’ll use a little internal energy. Don’t worry, I won’t sneak attack you.”

“Hmph! I’m not that timid!”

Xiao Huai snorted coldly. However, she still widened her eyes and was vigilant of Lin Ran’s every move.

However, even if Xiao Huai was already so vigilant, she only saw Lin Ran raise his wooden sword and wave it. The stone wall collapsed into dust on the ground. From the beginning to the end, she did not sense any internal energy fluctuations.

This meant that Lin Ran’s understanding of the array formation was very deep.

Xiao Huai instinctively became vigilant and made Huo Qiyun take a few steps back. After pulling a distance, she ordered, “Go in first! Put your hand where I can see it… If you dare to draw your sword, I’ll kill him!”

“What a cowrd!”

Lin Ran muttered under his breath and entered the secret room with his hands raised.

Seeing Lin Ran disappear from the entrance, Xiao Huai waited for a while to make sure that nothing unexpected happened before giving Huo Qiyun a kick. “Let’s go in and take a look!”

“If you ride me like a horse again, believe it or not, I’ll fight you to the death.”

Huo Qiyun warned coldly. Actually, he couldn’t wait any longer. After saying that, he almost jumped to the door.

As soon as Huo Qiyun walked into the stone room, he was shocked speechless by the magnificent scene! There were countless divine swords lying around.

When Huo Qiyun came back to his senses and looked around, his expression changed. Where was Lin Ran?
