Signing In At Mount Sword For 100 Years To Become Invincible - Chapter 190
190 Entrusted by Someone to be loyal
In the courtyard.
As soon as Lin Ran arrived, Yuan Yangguo and the others, who were resting by the wall, immediately stood up.
“Sword God.”
After Yuan Yangguo bowed, he looked behind Lin Ran in confusion. “Where’s His Majesty?”
“His Majesty is afraid of wasting our time and wants us to set off as soon as possible. Someone will send her back.”
!!
Lin Ran replied casually and did not notice that in the crowd behind Yuan Yangguo, someone was stealing glances at him with his head lowered.
“I see…”
Yuan Yangguo nodded thoughtfully and changed the topic. “Shall we set off now?”
Lin Ran didn’t say anything. He looked at the gap in the wall in the distance and felt that something was wrong.
“Sigh… Perhaps I’m overthinking?”
Lin Ran sighed and muttered to himself. Finally, he looked at everyone and said, “Yuan Yangguo, come with me and lead the way. The rest of you, split into groups of five and set off at fifteen minutes intervals. Our place of gathering is the forest in the Great Yong Dynasty!”
Everyone accepted the order in unison. Lin Ran added, “This is a secret operation, so we can’t be discovered by the Great Yong Dynasty’s border army. Once anyone is exposed, immediately return here, change into your clothes, and return to your respective sects. Do you understand?”
“Understood!”
“Let’s go!”
With that, Lin Ran grabbed Yuan Yangguo and instantly disappeared.
It was only about 70 miles from Fort Liushi to the forest that Yuan Yangguo mentioned. With Lin Ran’s cultivation, it would only take him a moment to reach it.
However, in order to avoid being discovered by the soldiers of the Great Yong Dynasty, Lin Ran could only fly to a height that was difficult to see with the naked eye. He used the continuous white clouds to cover his figure and reduce his speed so that he could suppress the fluctuations of his internal energy to an extremely low level.
However, even if Lin Ran suppressed his speed, it was still as fast as lightning for Yuan Yangguo.
Winds howled in his ears, and a large cloud slapped his face like a water curtain.
All of this made Yuan Yangguo, who was only a Senior Martial Master, tremble in fear. If not for Lin Ran holding his shoulder, he would probably have slipped off the Yin Yang Sword!
“Sword God! Can we slow down?”
The pale-faced Yuan Yangguo shouted at the top of his lungs. It was so noisy in the sky that no one could hear him.
“This is already very slow. If it’s any slower, I’ll fall!”
Lin Ran grabbed Yuan Yangguo and replied casually. At the same time, he stared fixedly at the ground, as if he could still see the subtle changes on the ground through the thin clouds.
In just a moment, Yuan Yangguo couldn’t hold on anymore. He could only talk to distract himself. “Sword God! Can I ask you a question?”
“Ask it.”
“Shouldn’t a master like you be indifferent to fame and fortune?”
Before Lin Ran could speak, Yuan Yangguo hurriedly added, “I don’t mean anything else! It’s just that after other martial artists enter the Grandmaster Realm, they will choose to enter seclusion to cultivate in order to shatter the void and ascend as soon as possible.”
“But you’ve already reached the Half-Saint Realm. Not only did you not enter seclusion, but you are also running around all day for the Heavenly Saint Dynasty. Why?”
“Well…”
Lin Ran was speechless. He had really never thought of this.
He had transmigrated to this world and did not have much interest in things like shattering the void and ascending.
Therefore, although he had been cultivating seriously, he had never thought of reaching a certain realm.
However, if this was the only reason, Lin Ran wouldn’t waste his time helping the empress, so there must be another reason.
He was not very utilitarian, so his reason was definitely not to get promoted or make a name for himself…
…
After a long while, Lin Ran finally gave his answer. “This is a promise I made to a senior.”
Lin Ran thought of the Sword God’s letter. Now, he knew that most of the content in the letter was added by Liu Hongshan.
However, the sword manual and the words “protect the person wearing the ruby necklace” were really left behind by the Ten Miles Sword God before he died. Since he had inherited the legacy of the Ten Miles Sword God, he naturally had to do this well.
As soon as he finished speaking, Yuan Yangguo suddenly shouted, “We flew past it!”
“Huh?”
Lin Ran quickly looked down. He saw that on the ground a few thousand feet below, a forest that covered an area of about ten kilometers was quickly retreating!
Lin Ran grabbed Yuan Yangguo and arrived hundreds of feet above the forest in a few flashes
There was no longer any cloud here to take cover, but there was no one around, so Lin Ran didn’t have to worry about being exposed.
Controlling the Yin-Yang Sword to descend, the two of them quickly landed in the middle of the forest.
Putting down Yuan Yangguo, who was about to faint from fear, Lin Ran began to size up the forest.
He didn’t feel anything when he looked down from the sky previously. Now that he was in the forest, Lin Ran realized how spectacular this terrain was.
As far as the eye could see, countless grayish-white stone pillars pierced into the sky like inverted stalactites. The thinnest one was about the size of Lin Ran’s thigh, and the thickest one probably needed five or six people to wrap their arms around it.
Every time he saw such a scene, Lin Ran couldn’t help but sigh at the wonders of nature. However, before he could admire it for long, a voice that had been silent for a long time suddenly sounded in his mind.
