Signing In At Mount Sword For 100 Years To Become Invincible

146 Three Days of Preparation
Hearing the empress’s words, Lin Ran also looked out of the door. After a moment, he suddenly realized something. “You mean the Medal Guards?”

The empress seemed to be a little surprised. “You know the function of the Medal Guards?”

“I’ve heard of it.”

Lin Ran chuckled and replied, “The one who interrogated me was an idiot. He seemed to think that I was doomed, so he told me everything.”

“Liu Hongshan is not so easy to investigate. I don’t think they will find much, so…”

Although Lin Ran deliberately didn’t finish, the empress followed his gaze and looked down at the ground. She instantly understood what he meant.

“You’re going to the Hundred Fragrance Palace again?!”

The empress’s expression changed slightly as she asked softly, “The last time I asked you to go, I already went against the ancestral teachings of the previous emperors. Moreover, didn’t you say that that place is very dangerous?”

“It’s indeed very dangerous.”

Lin Ran nodded and held the Yin-Yang Sword in his hand. Then, he showed the empress the white side of the sword. “See for yourself.”

The gap on the blade was extremely small. The first time the empress looked at it, she did not notice it. After Lin Ran pointed it out to her, she realized that there was a gap less than the size of a grain of rice on the blade.

“This should be a divine sword from Mount Sword, right?”

The empress revealed a suspicious expression. “It’s a divine sword. Why did it become like this?”

“Because Liu Hongshan was using the Ten Miles Dragon Roar.”

Lin Ran replied softly with a complicated expression. Seeing that the empress was struck dumb, he added, “Don’t worry, my Ten Miles Dragon Roar is still with me. He has the other half.”

Only then did the empress heave a sigh of relief. She paused for a moment and asked, “But even the Ten Miles Dragon Roar might not have this power, right?”

“That’s right. That’s why I’m going to the Hundred Fragrance Palace.”

Lin Ran nodded. Recalling the strike dealt by Liu Hongshan, his eyes turned solemn again. “As far as I know, Liu Hongshan is born with divine strength, so even if our cultivation levels are similar, I don’t have an advantage in strength.”

When the empress heard this, her eyes lit up. “You said before that after staying in the secret place of the Hundred Fragrance Palace for a period of time, you can unleash greater strength… Could it be that you want to go there to prepare for a battle with him?”

“This battle is inevitable. It’s just a matter of time.”

Lin Ran said in a low voice with a solemn expression, “Get the Medal Guards to investigate Liu Hongshan first. In three days, no matter what they find, I’ll set off to confront him.”

“Three days?!”

The empress was shocked when she heard this and hurriedly grabbed Lin Ran’s clothes. “Last time, you only stayed for a few hours and almost died. Three days is too long! Absolutely not!”

Seeing the worry in the empress’s eyes, Lin Ran couldn’t help but feel a little touched. He chuckled and comforted her, “Don’t worry, I’ve been there once and am already experienced. Besides, other than me, can you find anyone else who can fight Liu Hongshan?”

The empress was speechless. Among everyone she knew, Lin Ran was undoubtedly the strongest.

Even if there were hidden powerhouses like Liu Hongshan in the dynasty, they were all old hermits of her grandfather’s generation. They had been hiding in the deep mountains for hundreds of years and did not care about the secular world. It was very difficult for her to persuade them to work for the dynasty.

However, when she thought of what happened to Lin Ran the last time he went to the secret place, the empress couldn’t help but worry.

She didn’t want Lin Ran to take the risk, but at this point, there seemed to be no other way.

Seeing that the empress was silent for a long time, Lin Ran apologized before reaching into her collar.

The empress subconsciously raised her hand, but in the end, she did not stop him and let Lin Ran take off the ruby necklace on her neck.

After getting the key to the secret place of the Hundred Fragrance Palace, Lin Ran suddenly thought of something and said, “By the way, if you’re bored these three days, I can give you a case to kill time.”

The empress asked absent-mindedly, “What case?”

“Zhang Yueheng wants to kill me.”

Lin Ran’s tone was very calm, but the empress’s expression changed drastically. “Zhang Yueheng? My Grand Secretary, Zhang Yueheng?”

“That’s him.”

Lin Ran nodded and said in confusion, “I don’t know how I offended him. First, he wanted to bury me. On the way here, he even sent assassins to kill me. One of them is lying outside now. Shen Rulin is a witness. If you want to find something to kill time with, go ahead.”

“Got it.”

The empress nodded slightly, and her originally worried eyes turned cold. “I’ll deal with this matter seriously. As for you, come out if you can’t hold on. Don’t force yourself.”

“Don’t worry, I haven’t lived enough yet!”

Lin Ran smiled and jumped out of the imperial study through the back window. He rode the Yin-Yang Sword and soared into the sky, but he did not go to the Hundred Fragrance Palace. Instead, he quietly arrived at the Hidden Sword Pavilion.

At this moment, the Hidden Sword Pavilion was still in a mess.

Without the ebony shelves, as soon as Lin Ran entered, he saw the huge boulder not far away on his right.

After summoning the Ten Miles Dragon Roar to open the secret passage, Lin Ran’s figure flashed a few times and he arrived in front of the stone room.

With his current cultivation, he could easily use the Five Elements Sword Technique without taking out the mahogany sword. However, he still summoned the mahogany sword and opened the Five Elements Seal on the door.

Buzz—

The stone door trembled and turned into dust. Lin Ran walked into the stone room and bowed deeply to the swords of the famous generals everywhere. “Seniors, I’m sorry!”

With that, Lin Ran summoned the Yin-Yang Sword and slashed out with it!

Clang!

A crescent-shaped sword energy instantly swept through the entire stone room!

Most of the swords of the famous generals were broken on the spot by this strike. Only a dozen swords were still standing in place, but most of them were cracked by this strike.

Lin Ran looked at the broken swords all over the ground in shock. He originally just wanted to test the swords and find a sword that was harder than the Yin-Yang Sword to use as a weapon, but he did not expect these swords to be so fragile!

“I’m in big trouble…”

Lin Ran muttered softly with a strange expression. However, since he had already caused trouble, there was no point in regretting it now. He walked to the remaining dozen or so swords and began to check them one by one.

Among the swords, the one that was most intact also had a soybean-sized gap.

Just as Lin Ran was about to leave, he suddenly saw the Sacred Abyss Sword on the wall from the corner of his eye. Then, he looked at the Yin-Yang Sword in his hand and a bold thought immediately came to his mind…
