Signing In At Mount Sword For 100 Years To Become Invincible - Chapter 272

272 Wanted By the Entire City

As soon as he jumped out of the window, Lin Ran realized that the originally empty street was already filled with people.

These people were all dressed differently and should be residents of the nearby area. They stood on the street, looking confused, as if they did not know what had happened, but they were all holding sabers.

Just now, when Liu Hongshan jumped out of the window, he caused quite a commotion. However, because he was too fast and the people outside were not prepared, his whereabouts were not exposed. However, Lin Ran, who was following behind, was not so lucky.

Everyone was attracted by Liu Hongshan’s commotion and looked up. As soon as Lin Ran crawled out of the window, he was stared at by the hundred or so people on the street…

!!
“Stop him!”

Someone shouted on the street. At the same time, an air slash shot into the sky, brushed past Lin Ran’s head, and hit the roof, causing a large amount of sparks to fly.

Lin Ran subconsciously shrunk his head. With another bang, the waiter rushed in with a group of men in black.

“That’s him!”

The waiter pointed at Lin Ran. “I heard it outside the door just now! Black Shadow is on him!”

The group of men in black unsheathed their swords and rushed towards the window like ghosts.

Lin Ran cursed Liu Hongshan for being cunning in his heart. Then, he tilted his body and flipped out of the window. Before he landed, he flashed a few more times and was already hundreds of feet away when he appeared again.

Worried that he would cause trouble if he was recognized as a Heavenly Saint martial artist, Lin Ran didn’t dare to leave on his sword. The moment he landed, he condensed his sword energy into a phantom and sent the phantom flying in one direction while he ran to an alley and hid in a pile of junk.

Although most of the people were lured away by the phantom, there were still many who were left behind.

Lin Ran took a deep breath to calm himself down. At the same time, he circulated his internal energy to the limit, preparing to wait for the people outside to disperse before finding an opportunity to leave.

After leaving the Iron City, once Lin Ran got on his sword, it was almost impossible for these people to catch up to him.

The only problem was that the waiter knew what Lin Ran looked like. If they issued an arrest warrant on him, Lin Ran would probably have to retreat to the Heavenly Saint Dynasty.

Just as he was letting his imagination run wild, he heard footsteps outside. However, for some reason, these people did not follow the phantom down the main street. Instead, they turned into the alley where Lin Ran was hiding!

“Did you really see him run in here? There’s clearly no one here!”

A man asked in confusion, not hiding the suspicion in his voice.

Then, a female voice said, “Believe me, he must be hiding here. Stop talking and look carefully. That person seems to be very powerful. Be careful!”

The female voice was very crisp and sounded young.

When Lin Ran heard this, he suddenly realized something. He hadn’t seen a woman since he entered the city. The streets were filled with men.

At first, he thought that it was because the society here was more patriarchal and that women stayed at home all the time but now, it seemed like that was clearly not the case.

While Lin Ran was thinking, a few of them walked to the pile of junk Lin Ran was hiding in.

Hearing the rustling footsteps around him, Lin Ran subconsciously held his breath and pricked up his ears to listen to the footsteps outside. The closest one was only half a step away from where he was hiding!

However, for some reason, although there were four or five people passing by Lin Ran, no one came to rummage through the pile of junk he was hiding in.

These people only looked around. After not finding anything, they muttered in confusion and left.

The surroundings returned to silence, but Lin Ran’s expression became strange.

This pile of junk was not the only place to hide in the alley, but it was the most likely place. No matter how stupid those people were, they should have searched for it. Could it be that they did not want to find him at all? Or was the other party playing with him?

As he thought to himself, Lin Ran hid in the junk pile for another half five minutes. After confirming that there was still no movement around, he probed with a wisp of divine sense.

It seemed that he successfully fooled these people. There was no one within a hundred steps.

Lin Ran pushed away the junk above his head and stood up. Just as he was wondering what those people were thinking, he accidentally looked down and saw the junk pile he was hiding. His expression instantly turned ugly.

He was hiding behind ten wooden boxes that were neatly stacked, but they were a little dilapidated because they had been exposed to the wind and sun for a long time.

There was a rotten hole in one of the wooden boxes. Through the fist-sized hole, Lin Ran could vaguely see a dark green luster.

Lin Ran didn’t know what was inside, but this strange luster and the attitude of those people just now made him have an ominous feeling.

“Is this thing poisonous?”

At the thought of this, Lin Ran’s expression changed slightly. He hurriedly raised his hand to take a closer look. In order to hide, he had moved these wooden boxes just now. If the thing inside was poisonous, he should be able to see some signs of him being poisoned..

However, at a glance, Lin Ran did not find anything unusual.

If the thing in this box was really poisonous, the people in the city would not leave it here. After all, although this alley was remote, people would pass by it.

After heaving a sigh of relief, Lin Ran opened the lid of the wooden box and realized that there were metal balls of different sizes inside. The green surface was rough and dim, looking a little like something that had been formed after the metal melted and fell to the ground.

Lin Ran tore off a piece of his clothes and wrapped it around a few small ones before putting them into his pocket. After returning the open wooden box to its original state, he walked towards the entrance of the alley with heavy footsteps.

Seeing that there was no one outside, a white light flashed in Lin Ran’s hand, and the Yin Yang Sword appeared out of thin air.

Just as he was about to activate his internal energy and set off, Lin Ran remembered that he had forgotten something. Then, he opened the wooden box and took out the Black Shadow Saber. He closed his eyes and focused, trying to put it into the Divine Sword Technique Manual.

However, after a few minutes, when he opened his eyes again, the Black Shadow Saber was still in his hand.

“As expected of the Divine “Sword” Technique Manual!”

Lin Ran held the Black Shadow Saber and was about to set off when he suddenly felt that something was wrong. It felt as if someone was staring at him.

However, when he looked around, there was still no one on the empty street.

Lin Ran frowned suspiciously. After a moment, his expression suddenly changed slightly and he looked back. He saw a girl squatting on the wall!
