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

Chapter 256 – Master’s hand is still too light

"Explain?" Meng Fan looked up at Wu Tian.

His gaze gradually turned cold, filled with a chilling intent.

Wu Tian's heart sank instantly, realizing he might have been too rash.

But he still stubbornly retorted, "You clearly promised me you wouldn't tell Elder Lin about me killing someone. You broke your word!"

Meng Fan calmly replied, "I did say that, but I also said I wouldn't tell Master only if you killed disciples of the Skyhawk Demon Sect. But you killed someone from the Limitless Sword Sect!"

"Shouldn't people from the Limitless Sword Sect be killed? And you told Elder Lin about me killing the Skyhawk Demon Sect disciples too!" Wu Tian was furious.

Meng Fan couldn't be bothered to argue. He looked at the bruised and swollen Wu Tian, who resembled a pig's head, and said coldly, "Master went too easy on you; there's not even any blood."

Wu Tian's heart skipped a beat at Meng Fan's expression.

Was he going to beat him up?

Clearly, this bastard was at fault first, and now he wanted to beat him up?

Was there no justice in the Sword Pavilion?

Outrageous!

Wu Tian glared fiercely at Meng Fan. Did he really think Wu Tian was easy to bully?

After glaring, before Meng Fan could get up, Wu Tian turned and ran, slamming the door shut behind him.

Meng Fan shook his head with a bitter smile. Honestly, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, it would be hard to associate Wu Tian with a ruthless killer.

How did the Vajra Temple manage to turn a monk into this?

Meng Fan straightened up.

No, can poor grades be blamed on the teacher? Can bad character be blamed on the school?

***

The next day, Meng Fan went to the Cliff of Remorse to cultivate as usual.

After cultivating, he went to sell his gains from the trip. As he had predicted, he sold over four thousand Spirit Stones, bringing his total to over eight thousand.

With money, he felt more confident. Meng Fan thought he could spend a thousand Spirit Stones to comprehend the Sword God Stele for a day and a night.

To Meng Fan, the Sword God Stele was like an endless source of wool to be sheared!

However, thinking about the old monk's increasing consumption of Spirit Stones in recent days, Meng Fan felt a bit troubled.

Previously, the old monk consumed a hundred Spirit Stones every three days, but now he consumed a hundred Spirit Stones in just one day!

If this rate continued to increase, the old monk might consume ten thousand Spirit Stones in less than a month.

Ten thousand Spirit Stones was the amount the old monk had estimated Meng Fan needed to completely restore his Divine Soul.

"Damn, why am I still so poor?" Meng Fan cursed as he walked towards Liu Yanping's courtyard.

He decided to hold off on visiting the Sword God Stele and first gather ten thousand Spirit Stones to fully restore his Divine Soul.

When Meng Fan arrived at Liu Yanping's courtyard, Liu Ye Han, Ye Qingyu, and Yang Shishi were already there.

Only Liu Changyuan hadn't returned to Shu Mountain yet!

Meng Fan had sent him back to report, but after reporting, he went back to find them, perfectly missing the timing.

In the courtyard, Liu Ye Han looked at Meng Fan with eyes full of respect.

Before, although he knew Meng Fan was strong, he had no real concept of it.

After seeing Meng Fan in action at the Deyun Town farm, he now revered Meng Fan as a celestial being!

"After the practical experience in Deyun Town, I believe you all have a deeper understanding of Sword Dao and Sword Momentum. Today, I will continue to guide you..." Meng Fan said to the group.

Yang Shishi felt a bit awkward. She was the only one who hadn't gone to Deyun Town, feeling out of place and disconnected.

But she had no choice; her father had confined her, not allowing her to leave Shu Mountain.

After guiding them, Meng Fan checked on Shu Changsheng's sword technique before leaving.

On his way back to the Sword Pavilion, he passed by Li Xuerou's place.

He found that on the second day after her return, she had gone into seclusion again!

This...

Meng Fan shook his head helplessly. He could roughly understand her thoughts.

This time, when they went to Deyun Town, Li Xuerou had vowed to kill Liu Chen for revenge, only to find a huge gap between herself and Liu Chen, which was a big blow to her.

Now, she must be determined to become stronger.

Meng Fan wanted to explain to her that Liu Chen was not the son of the Partridge Hall master.

But the son of the sect master was even more significant than the hall master's son!

If she knew that, she might feel even more frustrated.

Better to let her focus on her cultivation. Meng Fan didn't disturb her.

Time flowed like water, and days without showing off passed quickly.

***

In the blink of an eye, more than twenty days had passed.

Liu Ye Han, Ye Qingyu, and Yang Shishi had all mastered Sword Momentum.

Finally, the slowest Liu Changyuan also mastered the Spring Thunder Sword Momentum.

Thus, Meng Fan's disciples had all successfully graduated.

Most importantly, Meng Fan had earned a total of five thousand Spirit Stones!

Yang Shishi, Ye Qingyu, and Liu Changyuan each paid a thousand, while Liu Ye Han paid two thousand.

Liu Ye Han had looked down on Meng Fan at first and lost a bet to him, so she paid two thousand Spirit Stones.

Actually, Meng Fan had initially agreed on two thousand Spirit Stones with Ye Qingyu as well, but in the end, he couldn't bear to overcharge her.

After all, they were old acquaintances, so he only took a thousand Spirit Stones from her, just like Yang Shishi and Liu Changyuan.

Thus, Meng Fan's total Spirit Stones had surpassed thirteen thousand.

Wait, no!!!

At this moment, Meng Fan only had five thousand Spirit Stones left.

Because in the past month, the old monk had consumed over eight thousand Spirit Stones...

He was practically a Spirit Stone devourer!

Meng Fan felt the pinch but had to endure it.

Because the effect of those eight thousand Spirit Stones was very evident.

His Divine Soul was now vastly different from before. Previously dim and dull, it was now shining with golden light, filled with divine might.

Especially his Divine Sense, which had greatly enhanced!

Now, when Meng Fan and Wu Tian both used the Ice Heart Sword Soul, he could suppress Wu Tian.

And this was with his Divine Soul not yet fully restored. Once it was fully restored...

There would be no need to compare with Wu Tian.

He wouldn't even be in the same league!

It's worth mentioning that Meng Fan's cultivation level had finally reached the eighth level of the Heavenly Origin Realm.

Just two more steps to reach the Condensation Pill Realm.

Moreover, the Skyhawk Demon Sect's leader hadn't come to Shu Mountain to cause trouble in the past twenty days.

This had allowed Meng Fan to relax quite a bit.

However, just as Meng Fan returned to the Sword Pavilion, Elder Lin called him to the second floor with a serious expression.

"Master, what's wrong?" Meng Fan asked, surprised by Elder Lin's grave expression.

Elder Lin was usually calm and kind, so this serious look indicated something significant had happened.

And it wasn't a small matter!

"Just received news, the Skyhawk Demon Sect's leader, Liu Bude, is coming to Shu Mountain."
