Chapter 76: Settling the Score

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Lin Ran had already mastered the control of his sword intent very well. In the huge yard, only the martial artists were affected by the pressure. The others did not feel anything unusual.

As the main target, Master Liu’s body bore almost half of the pressure. He lay on the ground like a pool of mud and could not move. Just rolling his eyes was enough to exhaust all his strength.

Seeing that familiar face, Master Liu immediately felt a chill run down his spine.

“Damn the demon! Why did he say the Sword God is dead? Bullsh*t!”

Sect Master Liu cursed in his heart, but he forced a fawning smile on his face and squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth. “Sword God! I’m Liu Yuntao! You even gave me pointers back then! This is all a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding!”

!!

Lin Ran pretended not to hear him and strolled past expressionlessly. The moment he walked past Liu Yuntao, Liu Yuntao’s head rolled off from his body. There was still a smile on his face, as if he didn’t know that he was dead.

That power Lin Ran possessed that could kill a grandmaster instantly caused the expressions of the other sect masters to turn ashen.

Under everyone’s horrified gazes, Lin Ran walked up to the desk and bowed respectfully to the empress. “Greetings, Your Majesty.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the raging sword intent calmed down. Everyone felt their bodies lighten. They hurriedly stood up to bow. “Greetings, Ten Miles Sword God!”

Unlike when they greeted the empress previously, everyone’s voices were filled with respect.

The empress stood up personally and said, “Senior Sword God, there’s no need for formalities. Please take your seat.”

“Your Majesty, please wait a moment. I still have something to do.”

After saying that, Lin Ran turned to face the martial artists on both sides and glanced at them indifferently. Among the remaining 259 people, only a dozen or so dared to look at him.

Lin Ran pointed at Liu Yuntao, who was beheaded. “Do you know why I killed him?”

Those who could attend the state banquet as representatives of their sects were naturally not fools. They were all well aware of the situation just now, but at this moment, no one spoke.

Only Sun Daolin, the sect master of the Dark Cloud Sect, who sat on the first row, stood up and said in a low voice, “Tie Niu has repeatedly offended His Majesty, but according to what he said, he was clearly instructed to do this. However, he was killed by Master Liu before he could finish speaking. I think Master Liu must have a guilty conscience, right?”

Everyone nodded, agreeing to what Sun Daolin said.

However, to their surprise, the Ten Miles Sword God sneered and shook his head. “No.”

“No?”

Sun Daolin couldn’t help but look puzzled. “Senior Sword God, please enlighten me.”

“Do I need to give you an explanation for killing someone?”

Lin Ran’s voice was calm, but it was domineering!

Everyone’s expressions changed slightly. Lin Ran called out a few more names. “Where are the people from Northern Mystic Gate, Silver Cave, Goddess Peak, Mount Qianyuan, and Windy Creek Valley?”

The faces of the people who were called out turned pale. Others might not know the reason why they were called out, but they knew very well!

Plop!

A square-faced middle-aged man knelt down. “Sword God, please spare me! I was just deceived by someone. I have no intention of rebelling!”

With the first person taking the lead, the rest also hurriedly knelt down to beg for mercy. The huge yard was immediately filled with cries.

Lin Ran pressed those people to the ground with majestic pressure and said coldly, “Since you were deceived, tell me who the deceiver is.”

The middle-aged man who was the first to beg for mercy was overjoyed. “Sword God! Will I be spared if I tell you?”

“I can’t.”

Lin Ran said calmly, “But if you don’t tell me, my disciple will make you beg for death.”

Disciple?! The Ten Miles Sword God took in a disciple?!

This was not less mind-blowing than the appearance of the Sword God. Everyone’s expressions changed again as they looked at the white-robed person who had assassinated Liu Yuntao in unison, wanting to see who this person was.

Huo Qiyun was standing in the yard pretending to be cool. When he heard this, his expression turned cold. This was not in the plan they had discussed previously. Lin Ran was taking advantage of him!

However, under everyone’s gaze, Huo Qiyun couldn’t expose him directly. He could only grit his teeth and bow to Lin Ran.

When the empress saw this scene, she almost couldn’t help but laugh out loud. She hurriedly raised her glass to hide her smile, but she didn’t expect the people present to misunderstand her action. Seeing her raise her glass, they hurriedly raised their glasses and congratulated, “Congratulations to Sword God for getting a disciple!”

“Congratulations to Senior God for getting a disciple!”

More than 200 people congratulated him in unison.

The veins on Huo Qiyun’s forehead were about to pop out. He accidentally saw Zhao Taiping reach into his pocket sneakily and immediately rushed forward. With a flash of cold light, another head fell to the ground.

With a thud, the corpse fell to the ground and the hand fell out, holding a dagger.

Everyone gasped. In the blink of an eye, three lives were taken here. No matter how slow on the uptaking they were, they now understood the situation at this moment. These three people came to the banquet with ulterior motives, but they did not expect the Ten Miles Sword God to see through them.

Apart from being shocked, everyone was more afraid of the Ten Miles Sword God. They all tried to recall if they had done anything inappropriate.

Seeing how ruthless Huo Qiyun was, Lin Ran knew that he was really angry with him, so he stopped teasing him and continued with a serious expression, “Those who claim to be deceived. If you can tell me who the deceiver is, I’ll give you a quick death!”

Even Liu Yuntao, who was at the Grandmaster Realm, was dead. How could the people who were called out earlier dare to say so? They immediately threw out some names. Almost at the same time, those people were beheaded by Huo Qiyun!

In the blink of an eye, only the few people Lin Ran had called out before were left standing.

The strong smell of blood filled the air. Even though these sect masters and elders were experienced and knowledgeable, they couldn’t help but feel a little terrified. They lowered their heads and didn’t dare to look at Lin Ran and Huo Qiyun, worried that they would be next.

In the strange and solemn atmosphere, Lin Ran slowly held the hilt of the Ten Mile Dragon Roar and looked at the traitors coldly. “Let me ask you one more time, do you want to die or live?”
