Signing In At Mount Sword For 100 Years To Become Invincible

122 Strange Peace

Huo Qiyun was confused and felt aggrieved.

At the end of the day, he was just trying to help Lin Ran. Although he was being held hostage, he didn’t do it on purpose. He did it out of good intention but wasn’t strong enough. Was it his fault?

The more Huo Qiyun thought about it, the angrier he became. He couldn’t help but retort, “Cut the crap! Every time something happens, you push the blame to me. What right do you have to talk to me like that?”

“Oh? You think you’re in the right?”

Lin Ran was so angry that he laughed. “Tell me, how many times have you messed up my plan because you’re not strong enough? How many times have I told you to stay away and not cause trouble for me? You agreed readily every time, but what happened in the end?”

Huo Qiyun was instantly rendered speechless. After a few seconds, he replied guiltily in a low voice, “Well, I just want to help you…”

“Should I say thank you?”

Lin Ran rolled his eyes. The Dark Insect Sword turned into liquid again and covered his body. He crossed his arms and said angrily, “Then use your brain to think about what to do now.”

“I—”

Huo Qiyun was speechless.

In Huo Qiyun’s opinion, Lin Ran should kill him and the demon together, but he knew that Lin Ran wouldn’t do that.

Seeing that Huo Qiyun was clueless, Lin Ran was not surprised. He sighed and looked at Xiao Huai. “Tell me, what should we do now?”

“Take me to the secret room.”

Xiao Huai replied coldly, “Otherwise, I’ll kill him!”

Lin Ran sneered. “Stop scaring me. He’s your shield. If you kill him, you’ll die.”

Xiao Huai looked a little embarrassed after being exposed by Lin Ran.

“Let’s go.”

Lin Ran suddenly waved his hand, put on his clothes, and said helplessly, “I’ll bring you to the secret room… I was going to bring you there anyway.”

Xiao Huai was stunned when she heard that. She didn’t understand what Lin Ran meant by “I was going to bring you there anyway”, but before she could ask, Lin Ran had already turned around and walked down the stone staircase.

At this moment, Xiao Huai was lying on Huo Qiyun’s back. Seeing that Lin Ran left in a hurry, she didn’t have time to think too much. She clamped her legs around Huo Qiyun. “Giddyup!”

“You!”

Huo Qiyun glared at Xiao Huai, but then he felt the hand on his neck tighten. He could only suppress his anger and follow Lin Ran down obediently.

The three of them set off again. The only difference was that this time, Lin Ran was not being pushed.

After exchanging a few moves just now, Xiao Huai also had a new understanding of Lin Ran’s strength. She knew that the standard swords couldn’t hurt him, so she gave up doing that. Anyway, she had Huo Qiyun in her hand, which was more useful than any weapon.

After a while, Lin Ran suddenly stopped and turned around.

Xiao Huai’s heart tightened. She hurriedly grabbed Huo Qiyun’s throat and asked coldly, “What do you want to do? Why aren’t you moving?”

Lin Ran ignored Xiao Huai and looked at Huo Qiyun in confusion. “I couldn’t figure out how you came down just now.”

Huo Qiyun was caught off guard by the question. “When I saw the stone staircase and felt the sword intent surging up, I came down.”

“That’s what I’m asking!”

Lin Ran clapped his hands, and the confusion on his face became even more obvious. “There’s a Mystic Gate Array in the Hidden Sword Pavilion to protect the entrance. With your level, how can you find it?”

“Oh! You mean those wooden racks?”

At the mention of this, Huo Qiyun’s face immediately revealed a proud expression. “I walked around there for a long time and realized that I kept getting lost. I felt that it was the problem with those wooden racks, so I destroyed them all.”

Lin Ran was enlightened.

And So was Xiao Huai.

The two of them looked at each other and saw embarrassment in each other’s eyes, especially Xiao Huai.

If she could think of such a simple and obvious way, she would have found the entrance long ago!

However, on second thought, opening the entrance required the Ten Miles Dragon Roar. Even if she found the entrance, it would be useless. Only then did Xiao Huai feel better.

Lin Ran sighed with mixed emotions and turned around to continue walking down. “By the way, Xiao Huai, do you still remember when I asked you why you wanted to look like a little girl?”

Xiao Huai didn’t know why Lin Ran asked this, but she still answered, “I remember.”

“At that time, you said that it was because the old man you fought was very powerful. Even if you had already broken through to the Half-Saint Realm, you were still not his match.”

Lin Ran walked on the stone staircase and asked casually without looking back, “Since you had already broken through to the Half-Saint Realm at that time, why were you only at the peak of the Grandmaster Realm when you fought me just now?”

When he said “the peak of Grandmaster Realm”, Lin Ran deliberately emphasized it as if he was reminding someone.

At the same time, Huo Qiyun, who was walking silently, turned pale and quickly stopped activating his internal energy.

Just as he was about to sneak attack Xiao Huai, Lin Ran suddenly said this. It was obvious that Lin Ran was reminding him. But how did Lin Ran know what was on his mind?

Even Xiao Huai, who was on his back, did not notice it. Could it be that Lin Ran’s perception had already reached such a terrifying level?

Huo Qiyun was filled with shock, but he didn’t show it.

As expected, Xiao Huai did not notice anything unusual. She only paused for a moment before replying calmly, “When I came out of that cave, I was indeed at the Half-Saint Realm.”

“But that old man is too strong. Even if I used this appearance to confuse him, I was still severely injured by him and my realm fell to the Senior Martial Master Realm.”

Huo Qiyun immediately became excited. He suddenly turned to look at Xiao Huai. “Back then, you used the appearance of a little girl to confuse Grandpa Sword God?”

“Don’t interrupt!”

Lin Ran shouted and turned around to give Xiao Huai a look, indicating her to continue.

Xiao Huai glanced at Huo Qiyun and continued, “After I was severely injured by him, I thought that I was dead for sure, but he didn’t kill me. He even treated my injuries and consolidated my cultivation. After that, he asked me if I wanted to become stronger.”

Lin Ran nodded and turned around to continue walking down. “When you said I smell like that person, you mean him, right?”

Xiao Huai nodded. “But why are you asking this?”

“It’s nothing. It’s just a random question.”

Lin Ran suddenly thought of something and looked at Xiao Huai. “Did you see the Ten Miles Dragon Roar at that time? It’s the sword I used to open the secret passage.”

“I did, but…”

At this point, Xiao Huai suddenly paused for a few seconds before saying with a puzzled look, “At that time, that sword was in the hands of a dead person, but the sword I saw back then… was intact.”
