Signing In At Mount Sword For 100 Years To Become Invincible

Chapter 133 - 133 The Mastermind Appeared

133 The Mastermind Appeared

In just two seconds, a two-foot-wide hole was opened on the tree trunk.

A space was dug out from inside the tree trunk. At this moment, an exquisite sword was quietly leaning against it.

Feeling the emperor’s sword intent on the sword, Xiao Huai’s eyes lit up. However, before she could take a closer look, Huo Qiyun had already taken out the sword. At the same time, he took off his coat and wrapped the entire sword tightly.

After tying the cloth bag to his body, Huo Qiyun reached out to Xiao Huai. “Let’s go! He’ll probably be back soon.”

Xiao Huai looked in the direction where Lin Ran had left. “Are you sure you don’t want to bid him farewell? Aren’t you afraid that he will misunderstand you if you don’t tell him clearly?”

“With that brain of his, he’ll still misunderstand me even if I explained.”

Huo Qiyun pursed his lips and said disdainfully. Then, he carried Xiao Huai and unsheathed his sword. After hiding his aura, he rode the sword and disappeared into the distance.

A few minutes ago, outside the wooden hut.

Lin Ran held the Yin-Yang Sword in his hand, and the large group of black insects under his clothes were also restless.

In front of him, Brother Hong and his lackeys were lying on the ground. Wang Kailin, the guardian of Mount Sword, was holding a short sword and staring at him with a smile.

“Who exactly are you?”

“Who exactly are you?” Lin Ran looked at “Wang Kailin” and asked coldly, but his gaze landed on the short sword in his hand.

Unlike the longsword or heavy sword that ordinary martial artists used, this short sword was only a foot long from tip to hilt. At the same time, its blade was wider than ordinary short swords, making it look extremely incongruous.

If others saw this short sword, they might think that this was Wang Kailin’s sword habit.

However, Lin Ran could tell at a glance that the short sword was modified into a short sword from a longsword because it was broken. As for the remaining half of the sword, it was in Lin Ran’s Divine Sword Technique Manual with the scabbard.

“Wang Kailin” followed Lin Ran’s gaze and looked down. Suddenly, he said with emotion. “I didn’t expect that after so many years, there would still be someone who can recognize the sword body of the Ten Miles Dragon Roar at a glance. The Ten Miles Sword God… lives up to his name!”

“Who exactly are you?”

Lin Ran repeated. Actually, he already had the answer in his heart. Wisps of black and white fog rose from the Yin-Yang Sword in his hand, ready to unleash the most lethal strike at any moment.

“Wang Kailin” still did not answer. Instead, he asked with interest, “You seem to have my sword intent on you… Did my Dragon Elephant fall into your hands?”

At this point, the true identity of “Wang Kailin” was obvious.

The fact that Dragon Elephant Divine Master Liu Hongshan had been hiding his identity was already set in stone!

A figure that only existed in Lin Ran’s guess appeared in front of him alive. In a daze, Lin Ran even felt that it was unreal.

After figuring out Liu Hongshan’s existence, Lin Ran had imagined the scene when the two of them met.

He thought that they would perhaps meet after a huge battle or on an extremely important occasion. Anyhow, Liu Hongshan would appear like the final boss with an evil smile when Lin Ran felt that victory was in his grasp.

But now?

The mastermind, Liu Hongshan, swaggered out, catching Lin Ran off guard!

After a few minutes, Lin Ran took a deep breath and asked warily, “Where is the real Wang Kailin? Or is there no such person at all?”

“I’m Wang Kailin. Wang Kailin is me.”

Wang Kailin, or more precisely, Liu Hongshan, finally answered Lin Ran’s question directly. Then, he revealed an honest smile. “You’ve been looking for me for so long not just to ask me such a boring question, right?”

“Of course not.”

Lin Ran shook his head, his eyes as cold as ice. “Did you kill Sword God?”

“No.”

Liu Hongshan denied it. Suddenly, he thought of something and nodded. “But at the same time, it doesn’t seem to be wrong to say that I killed him.”

Lin Ran was stunned. He didn’t expect this answer. “What do you mean?”

Liu Hongshan shrugged. “I didn’t want to kill him at first. Who knew that he would have such a bad temper? Seeing that he couldn’t defeat me, he actually wanted to perish together with me… Of course, he still failed in the end.”

Lin Ran’s heart skipped a beat. He didn’t expect the cause of Sword God’s death to be like this. However, on second thought, this was indeed in line with Sword God’s unyielding personality.

After calming down, Lin Ran asked, “Why did you sneak into Mount Sword under the guise of Wang Kailin?”

“Just like you.”

Liu Hongshan replied with a faint smile, “Speaking of which, you’re really cunning. You actually brought out two Sacred Abyss Swords. I’m almost confused by which one is real and which one is fake.”

Lin Ran’s heart skipped a beat, but he didn’t show it on his face. At the moment, he wasn’t sure how much Liu Hongshan knew about his plan. The best way was to stay calm and let Liu Hongshan tell him.

Seeing that Lin Ran was silent, the smile on Liu Hongshan’s face widened again. He said slowly as if he was talking to himself, “Legend has it that the Sacred Abyss Sword is hidden in Mount Sword, but I didn’t find it when I came sixty years ago. Even after I used this position as Mountain Guardian to search it, I still couldn’t find it.”

“So I turned my attention to the Hidden Sword Pavilion. Speaking of which, your acting skills are indeed not bad. That anxious look on your face made me think that the Sacred Abyss Sword was really in the secret room of the Hidden Sword Pavilion.”

Hearing this, Lin Ran heaved a sigh of relief.

Although Lin Ran didn’t know where Liu Hongshan got to know this, he could tell from Liu Hongshan’s words that he didn’t know that the sword in the Hidden Sword Pavilion was the real Sacred Abyss Sword!

After confirming this, Lin Ran immediately felt much more at ease. He rolled his eyes and pretended to be flustered. “I wasn’t acting! The real Sacred Abyss Sword is in the Hidden Sword Pavilion!”

“Then why are you here?”

Lin Ran fell into silence, pretending to be stumped by this question.

Seeing Lin Ran’s reaction, the smugness on Liu Hongshan’s face became even more obvious.

Lin Ran was about to ask more when the token on Liu Hongshan’s waist suddenly vibrated violently!
