Chapter 244 – I want to learn the sword for killing!
"Little girl, you can't just say anything you want. I am a member of the Buddhist sect, how can you describe me as a monstrosity?" Wu Tian said to Li Xuerou with a hint of annoyance.
Meng Fan turned around and gave Wu Tian a cold glance, his voice icy, "Her name is Li Xuerou, my sister!"
The introduction was simple, but it carried significant weight.
Wu Tian immediately felt awkward. He chuckled and said to Li Xuerou, "You're not wrong. A genius like me, who is countless times better than others, could indeed be considered a monstrosity."
Among this group, Wu Tian didn't take anyone seriously, except for Meng Fan!
Since Li Xuerou was Meng Fan's sister, he naturally had to pay attention to her.
That night, the six of them stayed at the Yue Lai Inn.
At the same time, the members of the Limitless Sword Sect, who were also staying at the Yue Lai Inn, moved to another inn.
In one of the rooms, Lin Feilong asked with some confusion, "Senior Brother Yun, why did we have to swallow our pride during the day? Although there are experts among the Shu Mountain Sword Sect, they are definitely not your match."
The Senior Brother Yun that Lin Feilong referred to was the one who had ordered the members of the Limitless Sword Sect to retreat from the Yue Lai Inn earlier.
His name was Yun Zhen, the son of Yun Wushan, the head of the Enforcement Hall of the Limitless Sword Sect.
Despite his young age, he had already reached the Condensation Pill Realm!
Among the younger generation of the Limitless Sword Sect, he was a leading figure.
If compared to the Shu Mountain Sword Sect, his counterpart would be someone like Yang Yifang.
Yang Yifang was the one who had suppressed Jiang Poyue during the Shu Mountain Swordsmanship Competition.
Despite his young age, he had not only reached the Condensation Pill Realm but had also cultivated a Sword Soul within it.
In the Shu Mountain Sword Sect, he was considered a chosen talent.
Under normal circumstances, Li Xuerou would also become such a figure!
But now, things were different. Li Xuerou would undoubtedly surpass the likes of Yang Yifang and Yun Zhen.
It's worth mentioning that if Wu Tian heard such remarks, he would definitely scoff.
Cultivating a Sword Soul in the Condensation Pill Realm makes one a genius?
Then what about him, who had cultivated a Sword Soul in the Heavenly Origin Realm?
And Meng Fan... What about him?
***
In that room at the inn, Yun Zhen coldly looked at Lin Feilong and said in a chilly voice, "If we didn't retreat, what would you do? Fight them in broad daylight? Or kill them to vent your anger?"
Lin Feilong was speechless. Indeed, fighting in public was inappropriate.
As for killing, that was even more absurd.
If the members of the Limitless Sword Sect killed those from the Shu Mountain Sword Sect in public, would the Shu Mountain Sword Sect let it go?
"Don't forget our mission!" Yun Zhen coldly glanced at Lin Feilong.
"Originally, you bringing Li Xuerou from the Shu Mountain Sword Sect here was a great achievement, but don't be too clever and ruin it yourself!"
Lin Feilong lowered his head and didn't dare to say more, acting very obedient.
Hearing the name Li Xuerou from Yun Zhen's mouth was quite surprising.
But on second thought, it made sense.
Because although Li Xuerou seemed to be the weakest among Meng Fan's group, with the lowest realm, on par with Liu Changyuan.
In fact, Li Xuerou was the most renowned among them.
Among the younger generation of the Shu Mountain Sword Sect, Li Xuerou was famous for her Excellent Spiritual Root, a chosen beauty.
Over time, Li Xuerou also gained some fame in other sects!
Someone like Meng Fan, who kept a low profile, was not noticed at all.
Ye Qingyu and Liu Ye Han, disciples of the Alchemy Hall, were focused on alchemy and also went unnoticed.
As a result, the members of the Limitless Sword Sect only knew about Li Xuerou!

The next day, Meng Fan got up early.
The six of them sat at the same table for breakfast.
"Liu Ye Han, Liu Changyuan, Wu Tian, you three are responsible for finding the base of the Skyhawk Demon Sect today," Meng Fan said to the three.
Wu Tian quickly responded, "Senior Brother Meng, I'm responsible for killing, not finding people!"
Finding people was too boring for him.
Meng Fan glanced at him and said calmly, "You are the strongest among them. If you don't go, I won't be at ease if they encounter danger!"
Giving Wu Tian some praise, as he was easily flattered and would obediently follow orders.
Sure enough, hearing Meng Fan's words, Wu Tian looked at Liu Ye Han and Liu Changyuan and reluctantly nodded, "Alright, since no one else can handle this task, I will reluctantly help them!"
After a pause, he seriously said to the Liu brothers, "Remember, if you encounter danger and want me to save you, it will cost you. You two seem to have good temperaments, so you must not be poor. A thousand Spirit Stones will do!"
Meng Fan glanced at Wu Tian with annoyance. This guy was obsessed with money!
He hadn't even thought of this way to make money!
Under these circumstances, he naturally didn't want to compete with Wu Tian for it.
After Wu Tian left the inn with the Liu brothers, Li Xuerou eagerly asked Meng Fan, "Brother, what are we going to do?"
"Wait!" Meng Fan said, his mouth full of a soup dumpling.
Li Xuerou frowned and asked in confusion, "Wait for what?"
"What else? Wait for their news," Meng Fan glanced at Li Xuerou.
"Uh..." Li Xuerou was speechless.
Letting others do the work while they stayed here drinking tea and eating snacks made her feel a bit guilty.
After a while.
Ye Qingyu asked Meng Fan, "Do you have a grudge against the Skyhawk Demon Sect?"
Meng Fan had brought them here to kill the disciples of the Skyhawk Demon Sect, which was quite strange.
Although the Skyhawk Demon Sect was a demonic path sect, and its disciples often committed atrocities, harming civilians.
If Meng Fan didn't have some personal grudge, he wouldn't have specifically come here to target the Skyhawk Demon Sect's disciples.
Meng Fan looked at Ye Qingyu and said calmly, "Of course, I have a personal grudge. If Senior Sister Ye feels used by me, you can return to Shu Mountain now."
Ye Qingyu shook her head, "I followed you to learn the sword. Since learning the sword requires killing, what does it matter if the people we kill are your enemies?"
"Actually, you can learn the sword without killing," Meng Fan replied.
"But I want to learn the sword for killing!" Ye Qingyu looked directly at Meng Fan, her eyes filled with determination.
Meng Fan smiled and said nothing more.
Someone who had never killed anyone saying they wanted to learn the sword for killing was meaningless.
Liking dragons without ever seeing one was not true admiration!
So Meng Fan didn't take Ye Qingyu's words seriously.
Unless, after she had killed someone, she said the same thing, then Meng Fan would take it seriously.
***
The day quickly passed, and as the sun set, Wu Tian and the Liu brothers returned to the inn.
Wu Tian was carrying a bundle.
The bottom of the bundle was clearly discolored, with drops of blood occasionally dripping down.
