Signing In At Mount Sword For 100 Years To Become Invincible

261 Captured

As soon as the man entered, his sharp gaze landed on Lin Ran. His big eyes were burning with anger, and the muscles on his face were trembling because he gritted his teeth. He looked so fierce that it was as if he wanted to skin Lin Ran alive!

“Are you Lin Ran?”

The man asked in a voice as loud as a bell.

As he spoke, a third level grandmaster pressure descended. However, when he saw that Lin Ran’s expression remained unchanged, the man couldn’t help but look surprised.

“You are…”

Lin Ran narrowed his eyes and sized up the other party’s attire. Then, he had an idea. “The commander of the Earth Guard?”

“The commander of the Earth Guard, Tu Baichuan,” The burly man replied in a low voice. Then, his tone suddenly turned cold. “Did you kill Brother Shen?”

Lin Ran was puzzled for a moment before realizing that the other party was talking about Shen Qingquan. The mention of this name was like the key to opening the floodgate. The memories from before instantly overwhelmed Lin Ran.

“How’s the situation in Mount Sword?”

Lin Ran hurriedly stood up and asked, “My friend…”

Before he could finish speaking, Tu Baichuan suddenly shouted. His burly figure rushed over like a cannonball and grabbed Lin Ran’s neck, lifting him up and pressing him against the wall!

BANG!

With a loud bang, a huge dent was instantly formed in the thick brick wall.

Tu Baichuan looked at Lin Ran with his big eyes and gritted his teeth. “I’m interrogating you now. Did I say you can ask questions?”

Lin Ran was strangled and pressed against the wall, but his expression did not change at all. He didn’t even flinch.

Hearing Tu Baichuan’s words, Lin Ran looked down at Tu Baichuan’s hand. The hand was thick and calloused, and there were many old scars on the back of his hand.

Lin Ran sighed softly and looked at Tu Baichuan. “I understand. Put me down.”

Hearing Lin Ran’s calm voice, Tu Baichuan frowned slightly. He released a divine sense from his palm and probed Lin Ran’s body.

However, just as the divine sense touched Lin Ran’s skin, it was blocked by something.

“There’s something not clean in my body.”

Lin Ran explained, a few muscles bulging on his face. “It’s better if you don’t use divine sense on me.”

Tu Baichuan’s eyes flickered. Although he did not detect Lin Ran’s cultivation, this was actually a signal. Almost every martial artist could block the detection of outsiders with their divine sense, but it was only effective against martial artists whose cultivation was lower than theirs.

After a moment of silence, Tu Baichuan went straight to the point and asked, “What realm are you in?”

“Sixth level of the Half-Saint Realm.”

Lin Ran replied without hiding anything, and the muscles on his face became more obvious. “I’m no threat to you. You can put me down.”

Hearing that Lin Ran was actually a Half-Saint, Tu Baichuan’s first reaction was disbelief. He knew that this person’s cultivation was above his, but he shouldn’t be much stronger. Otherwise, how could he be captured so easily?

However, after hesitating for a moment, Tu Baichuan let go.

Lin Ran sat at the table, breathing hard with his eyes closed. The veins on his clenched fists were bulging, as if he was enduring some pain or trying his best to suppress something.

Sensing that the dangerous aura on Lin Ran’s body was gradually dissipating, Tu Baichuan relaxed a little. He turned around and sat opposite Lin Ran, asking in a low voice, “Did you kill Brother Shen?”

“No…”

“Are you really not going to tell the truth?”

Tu Baichuan slapped the table, and the thick ebony table instantly shattered.

Amidst the flying wood shavings, Tu Baichuan suddenly stood up and widened his eyes like a furious lion. “The Golden Guards saw Brother Shen die in your arms with their own eyes. They have no grudge against you. Why would they frame you?”

“He died in my arms so I killed him?”

Lin Ran asked calmly. Before Tu Baichuan could speak, he continued, “I know you’re the one interrogating me, but please tell me how my friend is.”

Tu Baichuan gritted his teeth and finally said, “Which one?”

“Huo Qiyun, Shen Rulin, and Xiao Huai.”

Lin Ran said three names. After a pause, he added, “Xiao Huai is that little girl.”

Tu Baichuan waved his hand. “All three of them are unconscious, but their lives are not in danger. We’ve already called the Wood Guards over to heal them. Are you friends with Rulin?”

Hearing that the three of them were fine, Lin Ran heaved a sigh of relief. He thought for a moment and replied vaguely, “Deputy Commander Shen and I have carried out a few missions together.”

Tu Baichuan nodded. “From what you said, Brother Shen didn’t die at your hands. Then how did he get seriously injured? What exactly happened in Mount Sword?”

“I don’t know.”

Lin Ran shook his head and replied in a low voice. Although he had already guessed most of the situation, it was just a guess.

Seeing that Tu Baichuan was about to speak, Lin Ran beat him to it. “It might be rude of me to say this, but what happened in Mount Sword is not something someone of your level can know.”

When Tu Baichuan heard this, he was stunned for a moment before he grinned in disdain. “My level is not high enough? Do you know who I am? I’m…”

Lin Ran interrupted him before he could finish. “I want to see His Majesty.”

“What a joke!”

Tu Baichuan roared and subconsciously raised his hand to slap the table. Realizing that the table had already been shattered by him, he put down his hand in embarrassment. “Do you know who you are now? Before you tell me everything, you won’t be able to see anyone but me!”

Lin Ran looked at Tu Baichuan with pure killing intent in his eyes, but it was replaced by calmness in an instant. “If I want to leave, can you stop me?”

Tu Baichuan was stunned for a moment. Although he was unwilling to admit it, at that moment, he was indeed frightened by Lin Ran’s gaze.

“Given that you are the most likely suspect who killed General Shen, I can’t possibly let you meet His Majesty.”

Tu Baichuan hurriedly added, “But I can let you contact His Majesty.”

Lin Ran thought for a moment and nodded. “That works too.”
