Signing In At Mount Sword For 100 Years To Become Invincible-Chapter 314 - Come What May, Heaven Won’t Fall

314 Come What May, Heaven Won’t Fall

As soon as Lin Ran finished speaking, the surrounding people burst into laughter. It was simply a joke for a prisoner to say that he wanted to see the current emperor!

Amidst everyone’s laughter, only Sun Ge’s heart skipped a beat. Previously, Xuan Wushang had said that Lin Ran was here for him, and it indeed seemed so.

But how did Xuan Wushang know? Could it be that there really was some sort of grudge between the two of them?

As he thought to himself, Sun Ge took a half-step forward and coldly asked, “You’re really pushing your luck! It’s useless for me to negotiate with you. Draw your sword then.”

!!

Before Lin Ran could say anything, Huo Qiyun took a step forward and said coldly, “We’re also negotiating with you, but if you don’t appreciate it, don’t blame us for being rude!”

“Heh! How arrogant!”

A middle-aged man shouted coldly. The surrounding people drew their sabers almost at the same time!

Clang—

Accompanied by a series of metallic clangs, incomparably sharp auras soared into the sky, as if a huge battle was about to erupt at any moment!

Seeing this, Huo Qiyun was not to be outdone. His expression turned cold and he was about to release his aura when someone suddenly patted his shoulder. Although the pat was gentle, it instantly forced back the internal energy Huo Qiyun had just activated.

“Lin Ran.”

Huo Qiyun looked at Lin Ran in confusion and shouted in a low voice, “What are you doing? Can’t you see that they’re about to attack?”

“Don’t be rash. This is not the place to fight.”

Lin Ran replied confidently. When Huo Qiyun turned around again, he realized that Sun Ge was also standing in front of the men in black.

“Everyone, don’t be rash!”

Sun Ge shouted, “Let me handle this!”

It seemed that Sun Ge had a high status among these people. Although everyone did not put down their weapons, the tense atmosphere had indeed eased a lot.

Seeing this, Huo Qiyun frowned and tilted his head in Lin Ran’s direction. “How did you know that he would stand out? Did you two reach some kind of agreement?”

Lin Ran shook his head in denial. After a pause, he chuckled and said, “Maybe because he’s a good person?”

Lin Ran quickly walked up to Sun Ge and asked in a low voice, “Can we talk in private?”

Sun Ge looked at Lin Ran and nodded imperceptibly.

Lin Ran smiled and walked to the side. Sun Ge quickly followed and asked in a voice that only the two of them could hear, “Who are you? Why are you in the Iron City?”

“I have many identities, but none of them mean anything to me, so let’s get down to business.”

Lin Ran replied casually. Before Sun Ge could speak, he asked, “Xuan Wushang has already left, right?”

Sun Ge was stunned. He nodded slightly. “How did you know?”

Lin Ran smiled and didn’t say anything. After a pause, he asked, “The Iron City is a prison, right?”

Upon hearing the word “prison”, a strange look flashed across Sun Ge’s eyes, but it disappeared in an instant. He shook his head slightly and pretended to be calm. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

“No, you do. Not only do you know, but you’re also the person involved in this, or more precisely—”

Lin Ran suddenly turned around and stared at Sun Ge with a burning gaze. “You’re also one of the prisoners in this prison!”

Sun Ge’s expression turned ugly as he stared at Lin Ran with trembling eyes. He looked as if he had seen a ghost in broad daylight!

“Who the hell are you?”

One could even hear the sound of his teeth chattering. “How do you know all this? What is your purpose in coming to the Iron City?”

Facing Sun Ge, who had a huge reaction, Lin Ran looked calm on the surface, but he was overjoyed in his heart!

Actually, he did not know much, and most of it came from Ye Shixiao. Lin Ran just wanted to bluff him, but he didn’t expect Sun Ge to be bluffed.

Although he was overjoyed, Lin Ran didn’t show it on his face. He put on a mysterious look as he continued, “Only a few people know about this. You weren’t the one who leaked the news. Do I still need to say the rest?”

Hearing that, Sun Ge’s expression changed slightly. He subconsciously gritted his teeth and said angrily: “It really is him!”

Lin Ran smirked in his heart, but he still looked normal. “Now that you know, are you still going to protect him?”

Sun Ge was hesitating. He changed the topic and asked tentatively, “If I help you… what can you give me?”

Lin Ran opened his mouth and was about to make empty promises when he accidentally saw the glint in Sun Ge’s eyes. He changed his mind and said, “Don’t get it wrong. I’m helping you now. Without me, what do you think will happen to you?”

Sun Ge narrowed his eyes but didn’t speak.

Seeing this scene, Lin Ran couldn’t help but think to himself, That was close. He really didn’t expect Sun Ge to be so vigilant at a time like this.

If Lin Ran made empty promises just now, Sun Ge would immediately know that he was spouting nonsense. At that time, there would be no chance of convincing him.

After a short silence, Lin Ran patted Sun Ge’s shoulder and said in a serious tone, “I’m giving you this opportunity for Ye Shixiao’s sake. If you don’t cherish it…”

Lin Ran didn’t finish his sentence, but the threat was clear.

Sun Ge hesitated for a moment before he finally made up his mind. He stomped his foot and said, “He asked for it. I’ll help you!”

“That’s the smart choice!”

Lin Ran smiled in relief, but only he knew how worried he was.

Based on the limited information he had, it was already difficult to bluff Sun Ge. If he continued to talk, he would definitely expose himself, not to mention that he did not know anything!

“Come what may, heaven won’t fall!”

Lin Ran encouraged himself silently as he pretended to be serious. “There are too many people here. Since you’ve already decided, let’s find a convenient place to talk.”

Sun Ge nodded and said, “Wait a moment.” Then, he turned around and walked towards the group of men in black.

Lin Ran took the opportunity to call Huo Qiyun over. Before Huo Qiyun could speak, he instructed in a low voice, “Find an opportunity to slip out later. Go to the north of the city and find a father and daughter called Ye Shixiao and Ye Jin. Then, send them out of the city as quickly as possible. The further the better!”
