Signing In At Mount Sword For 100 Years To Become Invincible

279 So Walking is Such A Painful Thing

These men in black were clearly bad-tempered. Just as they surrounded Lin Ran and Ye Jin, one of them reached out to grab the wooden box on Lin Ran’s back.

Lin Ran instinctively turned his body to the side.

That person didn’t expect Lin Ran to be so quick to react. He raised his hand and placed the saber on Lin Ran’s neck!

The situation immediately became tense.

!!

The leader of the men in black waved his hand to signal the man to put down the saber, but he frowned and glared at Lin Ran. “There’s a treasure stolen in the city. Everyone has to be investigated!”

“Don’t give me that!”

Lin Ran sneered in disdain and pointed in the direction where he came from. “I’ve been watching over there for a while just now. Others were just asked a few simple questions, but I’m the one who needs to be searched? On what basis? Are you bullying me just because I’m an outsider?”

The expression of the man in black stiffened. “That’s not what I meant…”

“Shopkeeper Huo, it’s their job.”

Ye Jin persuaded him. After thinking for a moment, she leaned closer to Lin Ran and continued in a low voice, “Although the fact that you are carrying a sword will arouse suspicion, you don’t have ill-intentions. Why don’t you show them?”

Since Ye Jin said so, he could only cooperate.

Lin Ran untied the wooden box on his back and handed it over with both hands.

The man in black in the lead reached out to open the lock. Lin Ran said, “The thing inside is very expensive. Be careful.”

The man in black did not say anything, but he was obviously gentler when handling the box.

Clatter! Clatter!

The two brass locks on the wooden box popped open. Lin Ran’s heart was in his throat. Although he had already made a secret interlayer for the wooden box, these people were obviously sharp-eyed. He wasn’t sure if he could fool them.

Soon, the wooden box was opened, and an extremely luxurious Ten Miles Dragon Roar appeared in front of everyone.

Someone gasped. Lin Ran subconsciously wanted to turn around, but he saw the man in black who was leading the team wave his hand and instantly, six to seven sabers were put to his throat.

“Who are you?”

The leader of the men in black shouted coldly, “As far as I know, only Heavenly Saint martial artists know how to use swords!”

“It’s a misunderstanding, it’s all a misunderstanding!”

Before Lin Ran could speak, Ye Jin hurriedly stepped forward. After pushing their sabers away, she told the leader of the men in black what Lin Ran had told her yesterday.

However, the leader of the men in black was clearly not as easy to fool as Ye Jin. After hearing this, he still stared at Lin Ran suspiciously, as if he wanted to see through him.

Under such pressure, Lin Ran actually felt much more relaxed. After all, the flaw that would get him exposed was the weight of the wooden box. As long as the wooden box was still in his hand, he was not afraid that the other party would discover the interlayer.

Thinking of this, Lin Ran closed the wooden box and put it behind his back. He curled his lips and raised his eyebrows, allowing the other party to size him up.

Seeing Lin Ran’s indifferent attitude, although the leader was a little displeased, his doubts were dispelled. He thought for a moment and waved his hand. “Go! You have to come back before dark. Otherwise, you’ll have to spend the night outside!”

“Thank you, Big Brother!”

Ye Jin quickly bowed and thanked him. Then, she pulled Lin Ran out of the city gate.

The moment they walked out of the city gate, Lin Ran felt relieved. Just as he was about to ask Ye Jin where to go, he suddenly felt a divine sense sweep past the two of them.

Lin Ran raised his eyebrows. His first reaction was that the men in black had discovered something.

However, on second thought, he realized that it was not the case. The men in black just now were generally at the ninth level of the Martial Master Realm, while the man in black leading the team was at the second level of the Senior Martial Master Realm.

However, not only was the divine sense just now very weak, but its control was also unstable. It looked like it was from someone who had just mastered using divine sense. At most, the person was at the first level of the Martial Master Realm.

As he thought to himself, a wisp of Lin Ran’s divine sense had already spread out. Then, a helpless smile appeared on his face. The people detecting him with their divine sense were none other than the two ill-intentioned young men he had just met.

“They are really courting death!”

Lin Ran thought to himself. They were only at the first level of the Martial Master Realm. No matter what they wanted to do, Lin Ran was not worried at all.

On the other hand, Ye Jin had no idea what was going on. She was holding a map and studying it carefully.

Seeing her frowning seriously as she flipped the map around, Lin Ran couldn’t help but ask, “Are we going to get lost?”

Ye Jin bit her lips and didn’t say anything. She stuffed the map into Lin Ran’s hand and said in a voice not much louder than a mosquito, “This is the first time I’m out of the city… I’ll let you lead the way. We’re going to a place called Mount Xianyong.”

Lin Ran smiled and looked down at the map. Soon, he found Mount Xianyong, which was located in the northwest of the Iron City. It was about 20 to 30 miles away.

This distance was only a blink of an eye for Lin Ran, but in front of Ye Jin, he couldn’t ride his sword. He could only determine the direction and set off step by step.

The two of them set off in the morning. It was not until late in the morning that they saw the outline of Mount Xianyong in the distance.

“So walking is such a painful thing…”

When he was resting by the roadside, Lin Ran couldn’t help but look up at the sky and sigh. This was because ever since he learned Sword Flight, he had been riding a sword all the time. The last time he walked dozens of miles like this was a few years ago.

Ye Jin was also exhausted. Her childish face was red. When she heard Lin Ran’s words, she couldn’t help but laugh. “From what you said, it seems like you don’t have to walk usually?”

“I have a carriage! Why should I walk?”

Lin Ran replied casually. As soon as he finished speaking, his expression suddenly changed. “Someone’s coming! And there are a lot of them!”
