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

Chapter 138 – Immortal Weapon, Demon Locking Sword

Elder Lin glanced at Meng Fan, ignoring such a clumsy lie.

It was too deliberate!

And somewhat hypocritical.

An embarrassed expression appeared on Meng Fan's face.

He couldn't help it; even with his thick skin, he was struggling to cope at this moment.

Indeed, it was quite awkward!

Elder Lin looked towards the Demon Locking Tower and said, "Li Fanchen is here for the Blood Soul Sword. He wouldn't engage in a life-or-death struggle with the Sect Master; his goal is to enter the Demon Locking Tower.

As long as Li Fanchen doesn't strike with lethal intent, the Sect Master won't either!

If Li Fanchen were to be killed here, the demonic sects would be thrown into chaos, and a bloody storm would arise in the world!

That's not something the Shu Mountain Sword Sect wishes to see."

The Ghost King Sect's status in the demonic path is comparable to the Shu Mountain Sword Sect's in the Righteous Path.

If Li Fanchen, the Clan Master of the Ghost King Sect, were to die at Shu Mountain, it would cause significant trouble.

Of course, this isn't to say that Shu Mountain is afraid of the Ghost King Sect, but rather a question of whether it's worth it or not.

Meng Fan felt that his Master made a lot of sense, but although it made sense, it was as if nothing had been said.

"Then Master, do you think Li Fanchen will be able to enter the Demon Locking Tower?" Meng Fan asked.

Elder Lin confidently and assuredly said, "With the Sect Master present, it's impossible for Li Fanchen to enter the Demon Locking Tower!"

However, just a few seconds later, Meng Fan saw Li Fanchen enter the Demon Locking Tower, followed by Lin Jinghong.

Clearly, these two had decided to make the Demon Locking Tower their battlefield!

Meng Fan looked at Elder Lin, feeling that Elder Lin must now be experiencing the same feelings he had just had.

It seemed that neither their Sect Master nor the Clan Master of the Ghost King Sect liked to play by the rules.

Elder Lin quickly made excuses: "These two probably fear that fighting outside would cause too much commotion, even potentially harming bystanders. Choosing to fight inside the Demon Locking Tower is indeed a wise choice!"

The Demon Locking Tower is a forbidden area of the Shu Mountain Sword Sect.

Even a True Immortal descending to earth, with all their might, could not destroy the Demon Locking Tower.

Lin Jinghong and Li Fanchen, even if they went all out inside the Demon Locking Tower, need not have any concerns.

"I was hoping to witness the battle between these two powerhouses, but alas, I won't have the pleasure. Master, aren't you able to enter the Demon Locking Tower? Why not take your disciple to broaden his horizons?" Meng Fan suggested eagerly to Elder Lin.

It must be said, this "eagerness" was indeed "foolish"!

Elder Lin glared at Meng Fan and said irritably, "Although your life is your own, you can't just seek death in front of me; that's impossible!"

Meng Fan gave a sheepish smile; he was just talking big. If Elder Lin really took him into the Demon Locking Tower, he would actually chicken out.

In terms of fearing death, Meng Fan had never disappointed!

"By the way, Master, do you know about the Blood Soul Sword? What's so special about it that the Clan Master of the Ghost King Sect would risk everything to break into Shu Mountain's Demon Locking Tower?" Meng Fan asked curiously.

Although Senior Disciple Jin had mentioned the Blood Soul Sword in the Scripture Pavilion, he hadn't elaborated, and Meng Fan hadn't felt it appropriate to pry.

But with Elder Lin, Meng Fan had no such reservations.

Elder Lin, as the "big boss" of the Sword Pavilion, was the most knowledgeable person in the entire Shu Mountain about various sword weapons.

As for the origins of the Blood Soul Sword, he should know a thing or two.

"This Blood Soul Sword is actually the personal saber of a past Clan Master of the Ghost King Sect; it's a Divine Artifact!" Elder Lin said with a complex tone.

Spiritual Swords, Law Swords, Dao Swords, Divine Swords.

Swords that have reached the level of the Dao are extremely rare, one in ten thousand.

Divine-level sword weapons are even rarer.

It's worth mentioning that although Meng Fan had never seen a Divine Artifact, he had encountered a sword weapon even more terrifying than a Divine Artifact.

An Immortal Weapon!

The Demon Locking Sword that Meng Fan had once touched with his own hands was an Immortal Weapon.

Even the completely sealed Demon Locking Sword had allowed Meng Fan to grasp a terrifying essence of the sword!

Furthermore, the three Divine Artifacts that Meng Fan had seen on the Three Emperors Platform were far beyond the level of Divine Artifacts.

It must be said, the foundation of the Shu Mountain Sword Sect is truly formidable!

Without a doubt, the foundation of the Ghost King Sect cannot compare to that of the Shu Mountain Sword Sect.

But for someone like Li Fanchen, a peak figure in the human realm, acquiring a Divine Artifact wouldn't be difficult.

The fact that he was willing to risk so much for the Blood Soul Sword proved that it was no ordinary Divine Artifact; it must be extremely special!

"Logically speaking, even a Divine Artifact isn't worth Li Fanchen breaking into Shu Mountain. Does the Blood Soul Sword hold some special significance for him?" Meng Fan asked Elder Lin curiously.

Elder Lin sighed, looking rather troubled, because during his investigation of the Blood Soul Sword, he had uncovered a secret.

It wasn't exactly a secret, as anyone who had read about the Blood Soul Sword knew this information.

So Elder Lin didn't deliberately conceal it from Meng Fan and continued, "Li Fanchen coming for the Blood Soul Sword is actually bad news for our Shu Mountain Sword Sect, and even for the entire Righteous Path!

The Ghost King Sect has a set of techniques called 'Blood Soul Limitless Scripture'. Once this technique is cultivated to the extreme, the Blood Soul Sword is needed to bring it to full fruition!

Over the years, no one from the Ghost King Sect has come to Shu Mountain's Demon Locking Tower to retrieve the sword, which means no one has cultivated to that level.

Yet, even so, the Ghost King Sect is a dominant force in the demonic path.

Now that Li Fanchen seeks the Blood Soul Sword, it suggests he might have reached that stage.

If he succeeds in retrieving the sword and cultivates the Blood Soul Limitless Scripture to its ultimate realm, then the number of people in this world who could restrain him could be counted on one hand!"

After hearing Elder Lin's words, Meng Fan's face also grew solemn.

Although the existence of someone at Li Fanchen's level had nothing to do with him, as the sky would have taller people to support it when it falls, Meng Fan, as a disciple of the Shu Mountain Sword Sect, still felt some pressure.

The saying goes: evil cannot suppress the righteous!

It sounds reasonable.

But another saying goes: for every foot of road, ten meters of devilry.

So, there is no law to determine the strength of good versus evil.

Emotionally, Meng Fan naturally hoped that the Shu Mountain Sword Sect was stronger than the Ghost King Sect.

"Master, from what you've said, it seems that the Sect Master will definitely go all out to prevent Li Fanchen from getting the Blood Soul Sword!"

It was just uncertain whether their elusive Sect Master could suppress the Clan Master of the Ghost King Sect.

He should be able to... right?

Elder Lin nodded and said, "Certainly, the Sect Master's cultivation level is extraordinary, his sword technique divine! Li Fanchen may be the Clan Master of the Ghost King Sect, but he's a rising star, still too young after all. The older ginger is spicier!"

Elder Lin had great confidence in the Sect Master.
