Signing In At Mount Sword For 100 Years To Become Invincible-Chapter 219 - 219 I Respect Your Choice

219 I Respect Your Choice

After the clear young man’s voice sounded, the expressions of all the white figures became strange, including Liu Ruxi.

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice, except Lin Ran.

Soon, a thin young man staggered out from the back of a house not far away.

“Xiao Shun?!”

!!

Someone exclaimed. Then, all the white figures in the sky surged like clouds in the wind. In an instant, they formed a vortex and gathered towards the young man! 𝐟𝗿𝚎𝐞𝓌e𝒃𝑛𝒐ѵ𝒆𝑙.c𝚘𝓶

“Xiao Shun! You are still alive? That’s great!”

The first person who landed on the ground patted Xiao Shun’s head with a happy smile on his face.

After the others landed, they were the same. Soon, Xiao Shun’s hair became messy, but he was not angry at all. He just looked at everyone and smiled foolishly.

Outside the crowd, Liu Ruxi narrowed her eyes and asked Lin Ran coldly, “What’s going on? I clearly saw you kill him!”

Lin Ran smiled meaningfully. “What I see might not be true.”

“But I clearly saw blood. That blood doesn’t look fake.”

Liu Ruxi asked with a frown. She looked at Lin Ran in confusion and vigilantly.

This time, Lin Ran didn’t say anything. He just raised his left hand with a faint smile.

At first, Liu Ruxi was a little confused, but after taking a closer look, she realized that there was a faint red line on Lin Ran’s left palm. It was an extremely thin but deep wound.

Seeing the wound, Liu Ruxi instantly understood that the “blood fog” was not Xiao Shun at all. It was an illusion created by Lin Ran with his blood!

As for how Lin Ran made Xiao Shun disappear in front of everyone, Liu Ruxi didn’t know. She didn’t want to know either. She only knew that Xiao Shun’s “resurrection” had already put her at a disadvantage.

This group of young people was powerful and had been through a real war at the border a few days ago. However, they had lived with Liu Ruxi since they were young and spent their days either being experimented upon or trained. In fact, they had never experienced the bitterness of life. 𝒇𝘳ℯℯ𝚠𝙚𝑏𝗻𝑜ѵ𝑒𝙡.co𝑚

This led to them being strong but innocent. After Lin Ran and the empress entered Nanjiang Town, they had been very cooperative. Other than a few troublemakers, most people had a good impression of the two of them.

Liu Ruxi didn’t make a move on Lin Ran and the empress partially because she still had feelings for the Heavenly Saint and the empress, and partially because she was worried that once the two of them fought, this group of innocent children in the Grandmaster Realm would be easily deceived by Lin Ran and change sides.

Now, with the appearance of Xiao Shun, the situation that Liu Ruxi was most worried about finally happened.

Seeing Liu Ruxi’s expression gradually darken, Lin Ran smiled meaningfully. Then, he looked at Xiao Shun in the crowd and frowned. “Why did you come out? Didn’t I tell you to hide?”

Hearing Lin Ran’s voice, Xiao Shun quickly squeezed out of the crowd. His childish face was filled with determination. “Brother Lin Ran, you’re a good person. I can’t let everyone continue to misunderstand you!”

Lin Ran raised his eyebrows and didn’t say anything. On the other hand, the crowd around Xiao Shun began to look surprised.

“Xiao Shun! What nonsense are you talking about? He’s the deputy general of the Heavenly Saint Dynasty. They killed countless of our people. How can he be a good person?”

“That’s right, Xiao Shun! You must have been deceived by him!”

“Xiao Shun, you can’t be soft-hearted to the enemy just because he didn’t kill you!”

…

The crowd started talking, all of them telling Xiao Shun not to be deceived.

“Listen to me! Brother Lin Ran is really a good person!”

Xiao Shun shouted loudly, instantly stopping the discussions of the crowd.

Everyone quietened down and looked at him. Xiao Shun was clearly a little nervous, but he still tried his best to say in a calm voice, “I overheard Town Guardian Liu telling Brother Lin Ran that our bodies are flawed. If we don’t take the pill, our strength will decrease and we might even die!”

As soon as he finished speaking, someone in the crowd said, “We all know that. That’s why we have to help Town Guardian Liu. Otherwise, if she dies and we don’t have the pill, we’ll be doomed!”

“No, that’s not all!”

Xiao Shun shook his head slowly and stared at Liu Ruxi with hatred. “Town Guardian Liu has a way to fix the flaw, but she didn’t do that… She wanted us dead from the beginning!”

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone’s expressions changed.

The person who spoke first looked at Liu Ruxi with a gloomy expression. “Town Guardian Liu, is what Xiao Shun said true?”

As soon as he finished speaking, the others also looked at Liu Ruxi questioningly. Although no one activated their internal energy or released their aura, Lin Ran could clearly feel that the atmosphere had changed.

The anger of hundreds of Grandmaster Realm martial artists was no joke.

In the tense atmosphere, Liu Ruxi suddenly chuckled. “So what if it’s real? So what if it’s fake? Do you have a choice now?”

Hearing this, the eyes of most people flickered. Although Liu Ruxi did not say it explicitly, the meaning of her was obvious.

Just as Liu Ruxi had said, did they have a choice?

The hundreds of people fell silent.

At this moment, they were no longer Grandmaster Realm cultivators or the secret weapon of the Great Yong Dynasty. They were just a group of young people in their twenties who were ignorant of the world and had to face a life-and-death situation.

It would be a lie to say that they did not hate Liu Ruxi, but Liu Ruxi was the only person who could save them.

This logic was very simple.

After a short silence, a young man in white walked out of the crowd to Liu Ruxi’s side. He looked at Lin Ran and assumed a fighting posture. “I’m sorry, I don’t want to die.”

As soon as he finished speaking, a second person walked over, followed by a third, a fourth…

In just a short while, more than half of the hundreds of white-robed youths stood opposite Lin Ran. There were about 200 of them, but to Lin Ran’s relief, nearly 300 of them remained neutral with Xiao Shun.

Seeing this, Lin Ran couldn’t help but frown and sigh. “Do you really think she’ll save you?”

No one spoke. Only Liu Ruxi sneered from behind the crowd. “Lin Ran, stop asking such meaningless questions. Even if everyone here doesn’t believe me, they have to protect me. I’m their only hope!”

“…Alright then.”

Lin Ran nodded helplessly. With a flash of white light, he held the Yin-Yang Sword in his hand and glanced at everyone coldly. “I respect your choice.”
