Signing In At Mount Sword For 100 Years To Become Invincible-Chapter 250 - 250 Internal Strife of the Five Elements Imperial Guards?

250 Internal Strife of the Five Elements Imperial Guards?

Lin Ran hesitated for a moment before continuing, “Huo Qiyun, I have something to tell you. I hope you can be mentally prepared.”

“Are you in love with Sister Empress?”

“What?”

Lin Ran was stunned for a moment before he quickly waved his hand. “What nonsense are you thinking about?! Of course not!”

Huo Qiyun nodded and sounded relieved. “Then tell me.”

“It’s…”

Lin Ran hesitated again and asked in a roundabout manner, “Did you notice anything wrong? It’s not about Sword Grave, it’s about you.”

“About me?”

Huo Qiyun’s voice was filled with confusion. “I feel a little tired, but it’s not a big deal. What do you want to say? Can you light up the place first?”

As soon as he finished speaking, a few fire sword energies lit up in the darkness and spiraled to a high place. The two of them could barely see each other’s faces.

“Why did you raise it so high? I…”

Halfway through his sentence, Huo Qiyun realized that Lin Ran was looking at him with a solemn expression. He was stunned and asked in confusion, “Why are you looking at me like that?”

Lin Ran moved his lips as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he didn’t say anything. He reached out and lifted Huo Qiyun’s clothes. “See for yourself.”

Huo Qiyun was confused by Lin Ran’s actions. He looked down in confusion, and then his expression instantly turned ugly!

“What’s going on?”

Huo Qiyun shouted and struggled with both hands on the ground, but no matter how hard he tried, his waist, which was attached to the ground, did not move.

“Calm down!”

Lin Ran quickly stopped Huo Qiyun and summoned a fire sword energy to illuminate the things that looked like tree roots. “I don’t know what this is yet, but it grew out of you. If you act rashly and break them, I don’t know what the consequences will be.”

Huo Qiyun suddenly looked up at Lin Ran. “But compared to living like this, I’d rather…”

A crisp slap suddenly landed on Huo Qiyun’s face, causing him to stop in mid-sentence. A clear palm print quickly appeared on Huo Qiyun’s face, but he looked confused, as if he didn’t know what had happened.

“Are you calm now?”

Lin Ran cracked his knuckles and said angrily, “Seriously… Can you let me finish? Why do you have to force me to do it?”

At this moment, Huo Qiyun came back to his senses. He touched his face and didn’t struggle crazily like before. He just said expressionlessly in a low voice, “Go on then.”

Seeing Huo Qiyun like a walking corpse, Lin Ran couldn’t help but sigh, but he didn’t know what to say.

If the two of them were swapped, Lin Ran felt that he couldn’t remain calm either.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Ran said, “You don’t feel anything unusual now, right?”

Huo Qiyun nodded. Lin Ran asked again, “Then can you feel your legs?”

“Kind of…”

Huo Qiyun nodded and shook his head. “I don’t know how to describe it… At this moment, I can’t feel my legs, but I don’t feel like I’ve lost them either. If I concentrate, I can feel something pressing down on me… Do you understand this feeling?”

Lin Ran was confused, but he still nodded to show that he understood. After thinking for a moment, he suggested, “How about this? Try and see if your legs can move.”

“Alright.” Huo Qiyun nodded.

Just as Lin Ran was about to ask, a rumbling sound came from the ground!

The sound clearly came from deep underground. When it passed through the layers of rocks and reached Sword Grave, it was so weak that it was almost inaudible. If the two of them hadn’t kept quiet, they might not have heard it.

The two of them instantly became vigilant. Lin Ran raised his hand and summoned the Yin-Yang Sword. “Did you hear that?”

Huo Qiyun nodded. “The source of the sound is very far away. It shouldn’t be a threat to us for the time being.”

Lin Ran replied in a low voice, “We can’t let our guard down.”

Mount Sword used to be the place Lin Ran was most familiar with. But now, because of the existence of the mastermind, everything here began to feel unfamiliar to him.

In this dangerous environment, it was really difficult for Lin Ran to completely relax.

At the same time, in a certain passage in the mountain.

Shen Rulin walked slowly with his father, Shen Qingquan. Suddenly, a slight sound brushed past their ears, and the two of them immediately stopped in their tracks.

Shen Rulin was stunned for a moment before asking, “Father, did you hear it too?”

Shen Qingquan nodded slightly. “This sound came from very far away.”

Hearing this, Shen Rulin narrowed his eyes. “Is it the sound of people fighting?”

“I don’t think so.”

Shen Qingquan shook his head thoughtfully. “The sound only rang once. Someone must be trapped and trying to find the way out.”

Shen Rulin’s eyes flickered. “Could it be Lin Ran?”

This time, Shen Qingquan did not speak immediately. He pondered seriously for a moment before saying, “It’s hard to say now, but there shouldn’t be anyone else in this mountain… Let’s go to Sword Grave quickly. If he’s still here, he’ll probably go there too.”

Shen Rulin agreed and continued to help his father walk forward, but he couldn’t help but look back from the corner of his eye.

Seeing his son’s strange action, Shen Qingquan asked in a low voice, “Rulin, what are you looking at?”

“Father, I…”

Shen Rulin asked tentatively, “I’m wondering if we really don’t have to find Qing Xue and the other horses. There’s only this passage here. If we chase with all our might, we might be able to find them.”

“It’s useless even if we find the horses.”

Shen Qingquan sighed softly, his deep voice revealing no emotions. “They’ve already been infected by the evil aura here. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been injured.”

Hearing his father mention this, Shen Rulin’s heart skipped a beat and he asked, “Father, your injury looks strange. Who exactly did you encounter?”

...

“I don’t know.”

Shen Qingquan said calmly, “The other party didn’t reveal himself and shattered my carriage with one strike… I suspect that it’s that old fellow, Tu Baichuan!”

“Tu Baichuan?!” ƒ𝑟𝙚e𝔀𝗲𝒃n𝒐𝘷𝗲Ɩ.c𝗼𝚖

Shen Rulin’s expression changed drastically as he exclaimed, “The Commander of the Earth Guard, Tu Baichuan?!”
