Signing In At Mount Sword For 100 Years To Become Invincible

259 What’s Going On With This Thing?

When he got closer, Lin Ran heaved a sigh of relief.

Although Shen Qingquan looked very seriously injured, he still had the foundation of a grandmaster and would not faint so easily.

“Elder Shen, slow down.”

Lin Ran reached out to hold Shen Qingquan’s arm and transferred a stream of pure internal energy over.

Shen Qingquan clearly sensed it. He turned to look at Lin Ran and said in a low voice, “Thank you.”

“What’s going on?”

Lin Ran quickly asked, “Where did you go previously? Why were you so seriously injured? Did you fight someone?”

Shen Qingquan waved his hand. “It’s dangerous here. Let’s go out first.”

Lin Ran said, “But Elder Shen, I still have two friends who are injured. Including Shen Rulin, there are three people, but I can only bring two at most…”

“Leave Rulin to me.”

Shen Qingquan took the initiative to speak before Lin Ran could finish. However, as soon as he finished speaking, he started coughing violently, as if saying it too quickly had affected his injuries.

Lin Ran quickly transferred another stream of internal energy over, but he still felt that it was inappropriate.

While he was thinking, the two of them had already arrived. Looking at the three unconscious people on the ground, Lin Ran pondered for a moment and pointed at Xiao Huai. “Elder Shen, I know you’re seriously injured, but I can’t do it alone… Can you help me bring this child out.”

Shen Qingquan looked at Lin Ran as if he had something to say, but in the end, he nodded. However, when his gaze landed on Xiao Huai, his slightly turbid eyes narrowed. “This child…”

While feeling afraid that Shen Qingquan would know the real identity of Xiao Huai, Lin Ran didn’t show it on his face. He frowned and asked in confusion, “What’s wrong, Elder Shen? Do you know this child?”

“No, I don’t.”

Shen Qingquan shook his head and leaned over to carry Xiao Huai. “Let’s go.”

Lin Ran could tell that Shen Qingquan was hiding something, but time was tight, so he couldn’t dwell on it too much. He could only pretend to be calm as he carried Shen Rulin and Huo Qiyun.

Seeing that Lin Ran was ready, Shen Qingquan walked towards the entrance of the cave shakily.

Lin Ran hurriedly shouted, “Elder Shen, please wait a moment!”

Shen Qingquan looked at him in confusion. “What’s wrong?”

“That path leads to the top of the mountain. It’s too far.”

As Lin Ran spoke, he put his hands behind his back and summoned the Ten Miles Dragon Roar. “I’ll open another shortcut.”

With that, the dragon gem on the hilt of the Ten Miles Dragon Roar began to flicker. The hole from before gradually closed in front of the two of them, and at the same time, a new hole slowly opened beside them.

Seeing this, Shen Qingquan narrowed his eyes again. However, this time, he did not say anything. He waited quietly for the hole to stabilize before walking in.

“Elder Shen!”

Lin Ran looked at Shen Qingquan’s feet and asked tentatively, “Do you need a sword to ride? I can lend you a sword.”

“No, thanks.”

Shen Qingquan smiled. “You can go first. I’ll be right behind you.”

Lin Ran hesitated for a moment before nodding. Then, he rode his sword away, but he did not speed up. Otherwise, if anything happened to Shen Qingquan halfway, it would be too late for him to help.

After nearly five minutes, Lin Ran came out of the cave and arrived at the foot of Mount Sword.

Under the blue sky, the sword intent had already dissipated. The cold mountain wind mixed with a faint smell of blood made Lin Ran’s relaxed nerves tense up again.

Then, Lin Ran noticed a very strange phenomenon. The divine swords that filled the mountain were gone. Where the divine swords had been standing, there were only handfuls of rust and shattered gems left, as if millions of years had passed.

There was no time to study what happened. Lin Ran found a flat land and put Huo Qiyun and Shen Rulin down. Just as he was about to go back to get Shen Qingquan, he turned around and saw Shen Qingquan walking out of the cave shakily.

Seeing Shen Qingquan, Lin Ran’s expression immediately became strange.

Shen Qingquan’s movements were still as slow as before, like an old man on the verge of death. His speed was not fast, but how did he catch up?

In the blink of an eye, Shen Qingquan had already approached and gently placed Xiao Huai on the ground. He sat down and began to pant, as if he had exhausted all his strength along the way.

After secretly closing the cave with the Ten Miles Dragon Roar, Lin Ran came to Shen Qingquan’s side. “Elder Shen, rest here first. I’ll get someone to help!”

“That won’t be necessary.”

As Shen Qingquan spoke, he reached into his pocket and took out a bamboo tube. After he lit it, yellow smoke rose from the other end.

Lin Ran knew that the yellow color meant help was needed, so he sat on the ground. Previously, he had been tense and didn’t feel anything. Now that he sat down, he felt sore all over, as if he had just been beaten with a mace.

After taking a few breaths, Lin Ran pointed at Shen Rulin and asked Shen Qingquan, “Elder Shen, what’s going on with him?”

“His cultivation is strong enough, and his mind is affected.”

Shen Qingquan said indifferently. He paused for a few seconds before explaining, “Previously, we were attacked by a mysterious force. I was seriously injured and almost fainted. He couldn’t stand the attack and was affected by the evil aura.”

Lin Ran nodded thoughtfully. He knew that the “mysterious force” Shen Qingquan mentioned was most likely the sword intent that suddenly appeared.

In that case, if Shen Qingquan really died here, it was understandable that Shen Rulin wanted to take revenge on Lin Ran. After all, if he hadn’t cut off the mycelium on Huo Qiyun, what happened next wouldn’t have happened.

Thinking of this, Lin Ran couldn’t help but feel a little guilty. His hatred for Liu Hongshan intensified. The origin of all this was the array formation left behind by Liu Hongshan!

The sudden anger caused Lin Ran to almost lose control of himself. He hurriedly activated his internal energy to suppress the killing intent. At the same time, he heard Shen Qingquan ask calmly, “What exactly is going on in Mount Sword?”

“Well…”

Lin Ran was speechless. It wasn’t that he didn’t know, but he wasn’t sure if he should say it.

Fortunately, seeing Lin Ran hesitate, Shen Qingquan didn’t ask further. He reached out and fiddled with Xiao Huai’s messy hair, looking like a kind grandfather. However, what he said next shocked Lin Ran. “What’s going on with this thing?”

“This thing?” Lin Ran pretended to be calm and asked back.

“This thing.”

Shen Qingquan tidied Xiao Huai’s clothes. “She’s not human.”
