Land Sword Immortal: Eighty Years as the Guardian of the Sword Pavilion

Chapter 190 – The shocking secret, Meng Fan’s horror

The helpless reality is...

Zhao Qianyu was afraid that Lin Jinghong would act impulsively, so she didn't dare to tell him about this matter.

In the end, she herself acted impulsively and went to seek revenge on Gu Qingteng, dying silently.

From then on, Lin Jinghong had no family left in the Fengyun Demon Sect.

And throughout, he never knew that his enemy was Gu Qingteng!

Five years later, Lin Jinghong and a few disciples of the Fengyun Demon Sect were selected to carry out a special mission.

The mission was to infiltrate the righteous sects as spies.

The sect Lin Jinghong was assigned to was... the Shu Mountain Sword Sect!!!

***

As Meng Fan recalled this memory, a chill ran down his spine, cold sweat pouring out, his heart pounding with fear.

What had he discovered?

He initially thought that this young Lin Jinghong couldn't possibly be the same as Sect Master Lin Jinghong.

After all, this young man was from the Fengyun Demon Sect and had no connection to the Shu Mountain Sword Sect. They couldn't possibly be related.

But now, everything was connected!

The young Lin Jinghong was sent to the Shu Mountain Sword Sect as a spy.

Although the name Lin Jinghong was common, it wasn't common enough for there to be two people with the same name in the Shu Mountain Sword Sect.

So, there was a ninety-nine percent chance that the young Lin Jinghong was indeed Sect Master Lin Jinghong of Shu Mountain.

A spy from the Fengyun Demon Sect had actually risen to become the Sect Master of the Shu Mountain Sword Sect?

This... even novels wouldn't dare to write something like this.

It was too exaggerated!

Too bizarre!

Too outrageous!

It was simply a fantasy.

In his previous life on Earth, Meng Fan had heard a joke.

Undercover cop: "Sir, if you don't pull me out soon, I'm going to become the gang leader!"

Meng Fan had always thought it was just a joke, something that couldn't happen in reality.

But after time traveling to this cultivation world, he discovered something even more outrageous and exaggerated!

Indeed, art imitates life!

However... knowing such an explosive secret was not a good thing!

If he were as powerful as Sect Master Lin Jinghong, he might be able to use this secret to threaten Lin Jinghong and make some deals.

But for a small fry like Meng Fan to know such information was like a three-year-old child playing with gold bars in a busy market.

"People who know too many secrets often meet a bad end, dying silently, perhaps with an arrow in the back one day!"

If he had a choice, Meng Fan would rather not know this secret.

Although he could keep this secret buried in his heart forever, it was really troublesome and difficult.

If he ever faced Lin Jinghong up close, it would be hard to remain calm and composed in front of such a big shot!

"Sigh, I'm just a small Heavenly Origin realm novice. How could I handle such a secret?" Meng Fan's face was extremely grim.

He never expected that just by wiping a Spiritual Sword, he would uncover such a shocking secret.

However, this wasn't the first time.

Having such a special ability, it was indeed easy to peek into others' secrets.

These were all swords once used by big shots. If Meng Fan could touch the personal swords currently used by these big shots, he would uncover even more secrets!

Meng Fan quickly dismissed this reckless thought.

The more secrets you know, the faster you die!

Lin Jinghong's memory continued to "play."

***

But there were no more explosive points. The following memories were of him successfully entering the Shu Mountain Sword Sect and becoming an outer sect disciple.

Yes, he started as an outer sect disciple, stronger than Meng Fan!

This Lin Jinghong had a monstrous talent and quickly rose to prominence in the Shu Mountain Sword Sect.

Until...

He replaced the Wind and Thunder Sword with a stronger Law Sword, and the memory abruptly ended.

***

In the Sword Pavilion, Meng Fan opened his eyes, his gaze filled with complexity, even a hint of lingering fear.

He swore that he would be the only one to know this secret, and he wouldn't tell anyone!

Not even Elder Lin. He had to bury this secret deep in his heart.

Because although Elder Lin was strong, he was no match for Lin Jinghong.

If Lin Jinghong wanted to kill Elder Lin, it would probably only take one move.

So if he told Elder Lin, it might get him killed.

Meng Fan would never do something so foolish!

Meng Fan took a deep breath, trying to calm his emotions and forget what he had just seen in the memory.

Just pretend it never happened!

"After this, I'll have to be more careful when wiping these swords," Meng Fan thought helplessly.

If he peeked into a stranger's secrets, he wouldn't care.

No matter how shocking or terrifying the secret, he could ignore it.

After all, he didn't know them and probably wouldn't even meet them!

But most of the swords in the Sword Pavilion were used by people from the Shu Mountain Sword Sect.

Sometimes, it was unavoidable!

Meng Fan placed the Wind and Thunder Sword back on the wooden rack, then returned to his room, no longer in the mood to absorb the Essence of the Sword.

After wiping a dozen swords, Hong Qi had also absorbed quite a bit of the Essence of the Sword, which should be enough for her to use for a while.

As for his True Scripture of Scarlet Blood, it was barely enough for two days of cultivation.

Currently, Meng Fan was using the Essence of the Sword to cultivate demonic energy for the True Scripture of Scarlet Blood.

After all, the True Scripture of Scarlet Blood could only be cultivated with the Essence of the Sword.

For other techniques, the Essence of the Sword was optional.

After a night of calm cultivation, the demonic energy in Meng Fan's body grew slightly stronger.

However, compared to his Pure Yang Thunder True Qi and Spiritual Wind True Qi, it was still much weaker.

If he continued cultivating at a normal pace, Meng Fan would first achieve Pure Yang Thunder True Essence.

Next would be Spiritual Wind True Essence.

Finally, he might cultivate the Scarlet Blood Demon Essence from the True Scripture of Scarlet Blood.

Although demonic essence was difficult to cultivate, once achieved, its power would be the strongest.

Meng Fan got out of bed, washed up, and left the Sword Pavilion.

***

Moments later, he arrived at the Cliff of Remorse, within the formation of Thousand Catty Fall.

Lin Jian, always the most eye-catching person in the crowd, was immediately spotted by Meng Fan.

"Meng, my brother, you finally came. I've been waiting for you all night. So, did you find any news about my master?" Lin Jian asked eagerly upon seeing Meng Fan.

Meng Fan sighed, feeling a bit helpless.

But he didn't intend to hide the information he had found.

He wasn't one to tell white lies.

"Senior Brother Lin, I did find some information about your master, Lu Xiaoyun. But it's not good news!" Meng Fan said, his face slightly grave.

Telling Lin Jian the truth would surely be a heavy blow.

He could only hope Lin Jian could handle it!

"What do you mean? Did something happen to my master?" Lin Jian's face changed, filled with tension.

Meng Fan sighed, "After you were confined to the Cliff of Remorse, your master was imprisoned at the bottom of Ice Moon Lake."

The bottom of Ice Moon Lake!

Unlike Meng Fan, who was ignorant, Lin Jian had been in the Shu Mountain Sword Sect for many years and knew what Ice Moon Lake was.

Imprisoning his master in such a place, colder than an iceberg, how could his master endure it?

Immediately, Lin Jian's eyes turned red.

"Meng, my brother, thank you for the information. I will remember this favor."

With that, Lin Jian rushed towards the exit of the Thousand Catty Fall formation.

At the entrance of the formation, the steward in charge tried to stop Lin Jian.

From a distance, Meng Fan watched as Lin Jian slapped the steward away with a single blow!
