Signing In At Mount Sword For 100 Years To Become Invincible - Chapter 209
209 Knocking on Hell’s Door
After eating another bowl of noodles, Lin Ran patted his stomach in satisfaction. He turned to look at the shopkeeper and asked, “Shopkeeper, how much?”
The young shopkeeper looked up at Lin Ran strangely. Then, he thought of something and shook his head. “You don’t need to pay for food, clothing, and transportation in Nanjiang Town. If you want to pay the bill… go ask the town guardian.”
Only then did Lin Ran remember that the customers at the table didn’t pay either. He cupped his hands and thanked him before leaving.
After wandering aimlessly for a moment, Lin Ran arrived at a remote alley. After looking around to make sure that no one was following him, he gently jumped onto the roof beside him.
!!
Under the cover of the eaves, Lin Ran squatted down and stretched out a hand, as if he was testing something in the wind. After a moment, a smile appeared on his face, and his figure flashed and disappeared.
In a tea room on the east side of Nanjiang Town.
A few young men in white sat together and chatted happily. Suddenly, one of them’s expressions changed slightly. “There’s the aura of a new grandmaster!”
“A newcomer is here? It’s not time yet!”
“Why do you care? Let’s go out and take a look.”
“That’s right… Wait! Why is there another one?”
As they chatted, their expressions changed.
Within a hundred feet of them, more than ten unfamiliar grandmaster auras appeared at the same time.
If it were any other time, they would only think that True Martial Workshop had sent someone over again and go out to join in the fun.
However, although these auras were unfamiliar today, they could clearly tell that they came from the same person!
“Did you notice?”
One of them spoke hesitantly, as if he did not believe his own judgment.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, another person added, “I noticed it too. It’s from the same person… But how is that possible?”
“Cut the crap! Let’s go out and take a look.”
The young man who had teased Lin Ran waved his hand with disdain. “He’s already so arrogant on his first day here. If we don’t teach him a lesson, he’ll boss us around in no time.”
When everyone heard this, they immediately became excited. “Then we have to hurry up and not let the other groups beat us to it!”
“But his location is unpredictable. How are we going to find him?”
“Simple. His aura appeared on eight spots. Let’s split up. If we find him, send a signal to the others!”
“Deal!”
…
The few of them quickly came up with a plan. Then, they turned into a white shadow and flew in different directions!
The young man who teased Lin Ran chose to go to the East. This was the direction where they sensed the aura of the Grandmaster at the beginning and the direction where they were most likely to find the Grandmaster.
A moment later, he arrived at the eastern edge of Nanjiang Town. The houses and buildings here were dilapidated.
Although Nanjiang Town was only a town, it had a population of two to three thousand at its peak. To them, this town was still a little too big, so they usually gathered in the center of the town.
After arriving at the edge, the young man landed on the ground. More than ten steps in front of him, there was a person standing with his back facing him.
The young man revealed the look of a senior. “Did True Martial Workshop just send you here? It’s your first day here and you’re already so arrogant. It seems that as a senior, I have to teach you well…”
As the young man spoke, the person slowly turned around.
Seeing that person’s fair appearance and the red ribbon on his wrist, the young man immediately frowned and said, “It’s you.”
“It’s me.”
Lin Ran nodded with a smile. “What did you say just now? You wanted to teach me well?”
The young man ignored him and frowned as he sized up Lin Ran. “Aren’t you at the second level of the Martial Master Realm? Why do you have the aura of a grandmaster?”
Lin Ran shrugged innocently. “You said that I was a second level Martial Master. I’ve never said that.”
“You hid your realm?”
The young man’s eyes flickered, and his expression immediately became vigilant. “Who are you? Why did you hide your cultivation and enter Nanjiang Town?”
“Don’t worry, you’ll know soon.”
The corners of Lin Ran’s mouth slowly curled up. With a flash of white light, the black and white Yin-Yang Sword appeared in his hand!
“You use sword?”
The young man’s pupils constricted. “You’re from the Heavenly Saint Dynasty!”
“Smart.”
Lin Ran smiled and drew the Yin-Yang Sword in his hand. In an instant, millions of sword energy surged out!
Before the young man could react, he was surrounded by a cage of sword energy that covered an area of more than a hundred steps.
“Forget about sending the signal to your people.”
Lin Ran looked at the young man who had his hand in his pocket and put on a teasing smile. “This sword energy cage can isolate all auras. Before you defeat me, you won’t be able to send out anything.”
The young man’s expression froze as he slowly took out his hand. “Are you taking revenge on me because of what happened at the noodle shop?”
“Do I look like such a vengeful person to you?”
Lin Ran frowned and pretended to be angry. “I just have a few questions for you. As long as you cooperate, I won’t even touch you.”
“Hehe… You sure talk big!”
The young man sneered and slowly stretched out his hands and pressed his fingers together. “You can try!”
Seeing the young man’s posture, Lin Ran’s expression couldn’t help but change slightly. He suddenly remembered that in the secret place of the Hundred Fragrance Palace, the armor seemed to be in this posture before attacking!
Was it a coincidence?
Lin Ran didn’t know, but he vaguely felt that he was close to a secret that he had never thought of before.
Seeing that Lin Ran was silent, the young man thought that he was afraid. He sneered and said faintly, “You’re too unlucky. So many of us split up to find, but you are found by me, the strongest among them!”
“Is that so?”
Lin Ran retracted his gaze and looked at the young man’s smooth clothes. “How do you know it’s not me who found you?”
“Because I don’t think you’re a fool who wants to die.”
As the young man spoke, he released his divine sense and swept it across Lin Ran. “You are just a second-level grand…”
Before he could finish speaking, the young man suddenly couldn’t make a sound as if his throat was being strangled. This was because he realized that while he was speaking, Lin Ran’s aura was rising explosively!
