Signing In At Mount Sword For 100 Years To Become Invincible

Chapter 247 - 247 Breaking Through With Force

247 Breaking Through With Force

In Mount Sword.

Lin Ran sat cross-legged on the ground. A few fire sword energy circled around him, and the dim light seemed like it would be extinguished at any moment.

“Huo Qiyun? Can you hear me?”

Lin Ran called out tentatively, but as expected, there was no response.

Seeing this, Lin Ran sighed. He had been waiting here for fifteen minutes, but Huo Qiyun still didn’t show signs of waking up.

As he thought to himself, Lin Ran stood up and summoned Ten Miles Dragon Roar Sword. As the dragon gems on the hilt began to flicker, the stone room he was in began to slowly rotate.

In a moment, a brand new cave entrance appeared in front of Lin Ran. This cave entrance could lead straight to Sword Grave. Since Huo Qiyun saw Liu Hongshan in Sword Grave, the probability of finding him near Sword Grave was higher.

As for the low cave entrance on the stone wall behind him, Lin Ran didn’t even look at it.

On one hand, it was because the cave entrance was too narrow. After Lin Ran entered, it was impossible for him to even stand up and walk, let alone riding his sword. If anything happened, he wouldn’t even have room to turn around.

Secondly, the cave entrance was clearly opened by the mastermind. Since the mastermind was unwilling to show up, even if Lin Ran really entered, he would probably just walk into another trap.

Therefore, Lin Ran chose to ignore it. After he saved Huo Qiyun and Xiao Huai, he didn’t believe that the mastermind could sit still and not show up.

At the same time, in the stone room.

Just as Shen Rulin was wondering why the cave entrance had been restored to its original state, he suddenly heard the sound of hooves in the darkness.

“Father, are you there?”

Shen Rulin’s expression changed slightly. He pricked up his ears and listened carefully. He realized that the sound was coming from the cave to the north.

Shen Rulin rushed towards the cave entrance to the north. After entering the cave, the sound of horse hooves became clearer.

Hearing the crisp sound, Shen Rulin was certain that it was from the white horses that pulled his father’s carriage.

Because the four white horses were given to his father by the late emperor, his father cherished them very much. He even spent a lot of money to forge black iron horseshoe for them. Shen Rulin would never forget the crisp sound after hearing it once.

However, although the sound of horse hooves was crisp, it was extremely slow. It did not sound like they were pulling a carriage, but like they were taking a stroll.

Puzzled, Shen Rulin held the Thunderball in front of him and injected a wisp of internal energy into it. Countless small electric sparks immediately surged on the sword.

These electric sparks were not particularly bright, but they could still illuminate a distance of about ten steps.

Shen Rulin maintained the electric sparks and was about to explore when he realized that the sound of horse hooves was already approaching. Then, a white horse with fur as smooth as brocade slowly walked out of the darkness like a gentleman.

“Qing Xue?”

Shen Rulin recognized the white horse. It was one of the four white horses. However, the strange thing was that the other three white horses and the carriage were nowhere to be seen.

As if hearing Shen Rulin call her name, the white horse sped up. She came to Shen Rulin’s side and neighed. Then, she lowered her head and rubbed against Shen Rulin.

Shen Rulin frowned slightly and stroked Qin Xue’s smooth mane. “Do you know where my father is?”

“Neigh…”

Shen Rulin was overjoyed and mounted Qing Xue’s back. “Bring me there!”

“Hiss—!”

Qing Xue raised her head and let out a hiss. She turned around and ran in the direction she came from.

…

Inside the mountain, Lin Ran flew through the passageway he had opened up. Soon, he sensed the familiar majestic sword intent filled with violent killing intent coming from Sword Grave.

The destination was right in front of him, but Lin Ran didn’t dare to slack off.

This was because he clearly felt that another force was controlling the mechanism, wanting to change the passageway and leading Liu Ran to somewhere else.

Although the force was not very strong, it was obvious that the mastermind could no longer sit still.

However, to Lin Ran’s surprise, even after he entered Sword Grave, the hidden mastermind still did not show up. However, the force competing with him for the control of the mechanism became stronger.

After waiting for a moment and seeing that there was nothing strange, Lin Ran, who was in a hurry to save people, threw this matter to the back of his mind. He swung his sword and slashed out a few fire sword energies to dispel the darkness. Then, he was stunned by the scene in front of him.

There were almost no changes from the last time Lin Ran was here. Countless broken weapons stood in the surging black water pool. As if triggered by the internal energy Lin Ran had just activated, the originally calm water began to stir.

However, Lin Ran was not worried. What really shocked him was the scene on the platform in the water—

Xiao Huai lay on the platform with her eyes closed, looking as if she had just fallen asleep. Huo Qiyun was guarding her like a big brother, one hand still holding Xiao Huai’s hand tightly, but his posture looked a little strange.

From Lin Ran’s point of view, it was as if there was a huge pit on the stone platform. Huo Qiyun was standing in the pit, but he clearly remembered that the last time the two of them came to Sword Grave, the stone platform was flat.

However, no matter what, it was a good thing that Lin Ran found the two of them.

“Huo Qiyun? Huo Qiyun!”

Lin Ran called out a few times, but Huo Qiyun could not hear him. As he spoke, he had already walked to the stone platform. Just as he was about to reach out to slap Huo Qiyun awake, his hand suddenly froze in midair, and his expression suddenly turned extremely ugly!

Previously, because of Xiao Huai’s body blocking Huo Qiyun, Lin Ran couldn’t see many details. It wasn’t until he walked onto the platform that he suddenly realized that the reason Huo Qiyun’s posture was so strange was that his body below his abdomen had already become one with this stone platform!
