Signing In At Mount Sword For 100 Years To Become Invincible - Chapter 337

337 Another Wave Rises

In a room in the magistrate’s office in the Iron City.

Ye Jin leaned on the table and carefully wiped the necklace her mother had left for her. The places that she had blackened with fire last night were already as bright as new. At this moment, she was using the small knife she carried with her to carefully clean the dirt in the joints and the small gaps.

Every segment of these metal rods was only the thickness of a chopstick and the length of a knuckle. It was definitely a huge task to completely clean them up.

Fortunately, Ye Jin had patience that didn’t match her age. However, because she was too focused, she didn’t even notice that Lin Ran was already standing behind her.

!!
Seeing Ye Jin looking serious, Lin Ran suddenly felt a little bad.

In fact, he had casually made up such an “important task” just now to keep Ye Jin busy. He thought that Ye Jin was young and could be fooled easily, but he did not expect her to take it so seriously.

“Ahem!”

Lin Ran cleared his throat. Ye Jin, who was focused, was shocked. She turned around and heaved a sigh of relief when she saw who it was.

“Why didn’t you make a sound when you came in? Are you trying to scare me?”

Ye Jin rolled her eyes. She was clearly certain that Lin Ran did it intentonally.

Lin Ran laughed dryly and pointed at the necklace in Ye Jin’s hand. “How’s the cleaning going?”

“There are still many gaps to be cleaned!”

Ye Jin pouted and said unhappily, “These gaps are too small. It’s very troublesome to clean them up. I still can’t figure out what this necklace has to do with our lives.”

“It’s a secret that can’t be revealed. You’ll know when the time comes!”

Lin Ran pretended to be mysterious and chuckled. Then, he waved his hand and said, “Alright, I’m done with my business. Let’s go home first.”

“…Alright.”

Ye Jin nodded and cleaned the stains on the table. After putting on the necklace, she was about to get up when her eyes suddenly rolled back and she fainted!

Just as Ye Jin’s head was about to hit the metal table, Lin Ran quickly supported her.

“Ye Jin! Ye Jin, what’s wrong?”

Lin Ran called out a few times, but there was no response. His expression immediately became strange. Although he was not on guard just now, he did not sense any danger. Could it be that she had been too tired these past few days and passed out from exhaustion?

Just as Lin Ran was feeling puzzled, he suddenly felt a slight fluctuation of internal energy. Then, the two doors closed with a bang, looking like they were blown by the wind. However, these two metal doors were at least dozens of kilograms heavy. What kind of wind could close them?

“Who is it?”

Lin Ran immediately realized that someone was wrong. While being vigilant, the Yin-Yang Sword appeared in his hand, and thousands of sword energy surged out, instantly forming a barrier to protect the two of them.

At the same time, a cabinet in the corner of the room suddenly opened. A person covered in blood fell out and fell to the ground with a thud.

Even behind the sword energy barrier, Lin Ran could still smell the strong smell of blood on that person. He frowned and hesitated for a moment before finally opening the barrier and walking out.

Lin Ran sent out a wisp of divine sense to scan the person and realized that his body was mutilated.

Not only were there more than ten deep wounds on his body, but even his meridians and internal organs were severely damaged. At the same time, the internal energy that had gone out of control was still rampaging through his body, undoubtedly making things worse for his already mutilated body.

However, the vast internal energy in that person’s body shocked Lin Ran. It was probably because of this that he was still alive.

Unfortunately, the other party had completely lost control of his internal energy. Even Lin Ran found it difficult to accurately determine his cultivation level. He only knew that the other party was at least a Senior Grandmaster through the amount of internal energy he had.

“Who are you? Why are you injured like this?”

Lin Ran held the Yin-Yang Sword and asked, but after waiting for a while, there was no response. It was as if that person was completely unconscious.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Ran decided to take a look at the situation first. Then, he flipped the man over and found that his face was also covered in a thick layer of blood. However, from his beard, he seemed to be a middle-aged man.

Thinking that he didn’t know anyone like this, Lin Ran felt troubled.

Logically speaking, the life of this person had nothing to do with him. He just had to inform Sun Ge and leave with Ye Jin.

However, for some reason, Lin Ran felt that it was this guy who caused Ye Jin to faint. In addition, this person didn’t forget to close the door. It was obvious that he had something to say to him, but he couldn’t last long enough to tell him.

After transferring an internal energy to stabilize the other party’s injuries, Lin Ran sat on the ground and pondered.

It was definitely unrealistic to wait for this person to wake up, but if he brought two unconscious people, one of whom was covered in blood, to wander around outside, he would probably be stopped before he reached the entrance.

Even if he could leave the magistrate’s office, there were still many pedestrians outside.

After thinking about it, Lin Ran had no choice but to break the back window. Then, he picked up the unconscious Ye Jin with one hand and carried the injured person with another. Then, he stepped on the Yin-Yang Sword and rode out of the shattered window!

Such a huge commotion naturally attracted the attention of everyone in the magistrate’s office.

When the guards nearby rushed into the room and saw the blood on the ground, they were instantly vigilant.

After flying for a while on his sword, Lin Ran brought the two of them outside the Iron City and landed in a small forest more than ten miles north of the city.

After throwing the injured person to the ground, Lin Ran patted Ye Jin’s face. “Ye Jin? Can you hear me? Wake up.”

After Lin Ran shouted two or three times in a row, Ye Jin finally woke up. When she opened her eyes and saw the surroundings, she couldn’t help but be stunned. “Why am I here? Aren’t we in the magistrate’s office?”

“Um… It’s a long story!”

Seeing that Ye Jin was fine, he relaxed and pointed at the injured person beside him. “Do you know this person?”

Ye Jin looked in the direction Lin Ran was pointing and realized that there was another person lying in the grass. She frowned and said uncomfortably, “His face is covered in blood. Who can recognize him?”

“That’s true.”

Lin Ran nodded. He took a handful of dew from the grass and began to scrub the person’s face.

Soon, a delicate face was revealed from the blood. Only then did Lin Ran realize that this person was very young. It was just that he hadn’t shaved for a long time and his face was covered in blood, making him look very old, but in fact, he was only in his early twenties.

“That’s strange…”

Lin Ran looked at that delicate face and couldn’t help but frown. “Why do I feel that this person looks a little familiar?”
