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

Chapter 248

In the end, the group of five left the inn to search for that Condensing Elixir cultivator from the Limitless Sword Sect.

This time, they had to capture him alive.

Capturing a Condensing Elixir cultivator was much harder than killing one.

Time was tight, and the task was heavy.

Meng Fan needed to figure out why these people from the Limitless Sword Sect were targeting Li Xuerou.

Otherwise, he would always feel uneasy.

After leaving the inn, Meng Fan immediately sent Hong Qi to help find the person.

To be honest, if Wu Tian couldn't find him, Meng Fan probably couldn't either.

As for Liu Ye Han and the others, they were even less reliable.

At this moment, the only one he could count on was Hong Qi!

One had to admit, Hong Qi was often more reliable than anyone else.

Of course, Elder Lin was an exception. When it came to reliability, Elder Lin was unmatched!

***

Two hours later, as night was falling, Meng Fan and his group still had no results.

It was indeed difficult to find a Condensing Elixir cultivator who wanted to hide.

Soon, Hong Qi returned and shook her head at Meng Fan.

"Forget it. If we can't find him, there's no need to waste time. No matter what the Limitless Sword Sect is plotting, we'll return to Shu Mountain after eliminating the Skyhawk Demon Sect disciples entrenched in Deyun Town.

Once we return to the Shu Mountain Sword Sect, no scheme or plot can harm us in the slightest!"

Meng Fan had immense confidence in the Shu Mountain Sword Sect, and so did the others.

Even if the Limitless Sword Sect used all their resources to attack Shu Mountain, they wouldn't be a match for the Shu Mountain Sword Sect.

Although the Limitless Sword Sect was nominally on par with the Shu Mountain Sword Sect and the Kunlun Sword Sect, in terms of true heritage, they were far inferior to the Shu Mountain Sword Sect!

"Not searching anymore? Then what are we going to do now?" Wu Tian asked Meng Fan.

It was obvious that he was an impatient person who couldn't sit still.

In truth, he still wanted to continue searching. He felt uneasy letting that guy go without killing him.

Moreover, that guy probably had a lot of Spirit Stones and treasures on him, and Meng Fan had promised not to compete with him for them.

Letting him escape felt like missing out on a fortune!

Meng Fan ignored Wu Tian's little schemes and decisively said, "We'll head to the Skyhawk Demon Sect disciples' stronghold now. After clearing them out, we'll return to Shu Mountain immediately!"

He used the word "clear" because, in his subconscious, he regarded these Skyhawk Demon Sect disciples who harmed the common people as trash.

Only trash needed to be cleared!

Meng Fan's words met no objections from the others.

In fact, since they had descended the mountain, Meng Fan had become the backbone of the group.

To be precise, he had been the backbone even back at the Shu Mountain Sword Sect!

According to Wu Tian and the others, the Skyhawk Demon Sect disciples' stronghold was deliberately revealed by someone from the Limitless Sword Sect.

At this point, it didn't matter whether it was true or not.

Last time, Wu Tian and the others were ambushed. If there was another ambush this time, it would be even better, as they could wipe them all out in one go.

***

After the time it took to burn a stick of incense, Meng Fan and his group of five arrived at a farmhouse on the outskirts of Deyun Town.

This was the stronghold of the Skyhawk Demon Sect disciples according to the information they had.

Meng Fan turned to Wu Tian and said, "Before we figure out whether these people are really from the Skyhawk Demon Sect, you stay put and don't make a move!"

Given Wu Tian's temperament, he would definitely start a massacre as soon as he entered.

If they made a mistake and killed innocents, it would be a big problem!

Actually, it wouldn't be much of a problem, but it would be the behavior of a demon.

Wu Tian rolled his eyes and said irritably, "What are you saying? I'm not a bloodthirsty demon. I only kill those who deserve to be killed!"

Meng Fan glared at Wu Tian.

He was starting to understand Wu Tian's mindset. In this guy's eyes, anyone he didn't like could be considered someone who deserved to be killed.

No wonder Wu Tian's father sent him to the Sword Pavilion. Meng Fan thought he should have been sent to the Demon Locking Tower instead for some tempering!

"Junior Brother Liu, you go first. Sneak in and capture someone alive for questioning," Meng Fan said to Liu Ye Han.

This task could definitely not be entrusted to Wu Tian.

In Wu Tian's mind, the concept of capturing someone alive didn't seem to exist!

"Got it!" Liu Ye Han said without hesitation and quietly slipped into the farmhouse.

Moments later, he returned, dragging an unconscious young man in gray.

This young man had a cultivation level of the eighth layer of True Qi, clearly not an ordinary farmer.

A farmer in the Qi Refining Realm was impossible, let alone in the True Martial Realm!

"Senior Brother Meng, everyone in this farmhouse has cultivation levels, the lowest being in the True Martial Realm. This is definitely not a real farmhouse!" Liu Ye Han said gravely.

Meng Fan shook his head and said, "You're wrong. The farmhouse is real. It's just that the people in it are not real farmers!"

Li Xuerou slapped the young man in gray awake.

"Who are you people?" The young man in gray woke up, looking confused and angry at Meng Fan and the others.

He knew very well that he had been ambushed and captured.

And the person who could knock him out was definitely not an ordinary person!

"That's my question to you. Who are you?" Meng Fan coldly stared at the young man in gray.

The young man in gray, with a cold expression, said viciously, "You don't even know who I am and dare to attack me? I advise you to let me go. I am a disciple of the Skyhawk Demon Sect. If you offend us, not only will you die, but your friends and family, even nine generations of your kin, will all die!"

"Indeed, you are from the Skyhawk Demon Sect. What are you plotting with the people from the Limitless Sword Sect?" Meng Fan asked sternly, staring into the young man's eyes.

He didn't expect the young man to give him an answer.

Meng Fan asked only to see the guy's reaction and judge some things from it.

The young man in gray looked puzzled and said, "Limitless Sword Sect? What nonsense are you talking about? How could we, the Skyhawk Demon Sect, collude with those hypocrites from the Limitless Sword Sect?"

To the righteous path, everyone in the demonic path was a demon.

To the demonic path, everyone in the righteous path was a hypocrite.

From each other's perspective, both were right!

"Xuerou, kill him," Meng Fan said to Li Xuerou, not bothering to speak further with the young man in gray.

It wasn't that he was ruthless, but if Li Xuerou wanted revenge, she had to dare to kill the Skyhawk Demon Sect members. Otherwise, Meng Fan felt he needed to stop her from seeking revenge.

If she couldn't even kill her enemies, how could she call it revenge?

That would be suicide!

Meng Fan naturally wouldn't let Li Xuerou commit suicide.

As it turned out, Meng Fan was overthinking.

Upon hearing his words, Li Xuerou drew her long sword without hesitation.

With a swift, precise, and ruthless strike, she pierced the young man's heart.

Quick, accurate, and ruthless!

She then calmly wiped the blood off her sword and sheathed it.

From start to finish, her expression remained cold and emotionless.

Most importantly, her breathing was steady!
