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

Chapter 258 – Sect Master of Shu Mountain, quite a demonic path style

Liu Bude had long declared his intention to ascend Shu Mountain, and many were aware of it.

However, few knew the reason behind his desire to go there.

After all, having his son killed by Shu Mountain disciples was not something to boast about, so he naturally kept it quiet.

In fact, these days, Sect Master Lin Jinghong of Shu Mountain had also been waiting for Liu Bude to arrive.

To be honest, Lin Jinghong was somewhat angry.

First, the Sect Master of the Ghost King Sect, Li Fanchen, came to provoke him. Then, the Saint of Thieves, Ximen Zhaixing, broke into the Demon Locking Tower to steal a sword. And now, the leader of the Skyhawk Demon Sect, Liu Bude, had come.

Did they think Shu Mountain was devoid of people?

So, the moment Lin Jinghong sensed Liu Bude's arrival, he moved and appeared before him.

"Heh, it seems my presence is quite significant, to have Sect Master Lin personally greet me. How courteous!" Liu Bude said calmly, not surprised at Lin Jinghong's sudden appearance.

Lin Jinghong's expression was cold, showing no kindness to Liu Bude.

"Liu Bude, you should know that the Shu Mountain Sword Sect does not welcome you!"

Naturally, the Shu Mountain Sword Sect would not welcome someone from the Demon Sect; that was beyond question.

But Liu Bude didn't care. He didn't expect them to welcome him anyway.

Moreover, he was here to demand justice.

"Whether Shu Mountain welcomes me or not is irrelevant because I'm here to settle a debt," Liu Bude said to Lin Jinghong.

Lin Jinghong looked at Liu Bude expressionlessly. Settle a debt?

He wasn't interested!

"Shing~"

A sword light shot into the sky.

A hint of killing intent flashed in Lin Jinghong's eyes as he coldly said, "I'm in a bad mood today. No matter your reason for coming to Shu Mountain, leave immediately.

Take one more step, and I'll cut you down!"

Liu Bude was instantly enraged. "Lin Jinghong, how dare you..."

Before he could finish his sentence, a sword light descended from the sky, aiming to strike him.

This... Liu Bude was infuriated. He hadn't even finished speaking, and the other party had already attacked.

Lin Jinghong didn't regard him, the leader of the Demon Sect, at all!

Outrageous!!!

Liu Bude, seething with anger, unleashed a blade light from his body, shooting into the sky.

Blade and sword clashed, wreaking havoc, as if they would tear the heavens and earth apart. The terrifying aura spread across Shu Mountain.

At this moment, everyone felt a suffocating fear.

But despite the terrifying aura and the destructive blade and sword light, Shu Mountain remained unscathed.

The abilities of the powerful were beyond mortal comprehension!

After the time it takes to burn a stick of incense, the blade light dissipated, and the sword light calmed.

Liu Bude, leaning on his blade, knelt on the ground, his breath chaotic, eyes filled with rage.

Although there was no blood on him, he knew he had lost.

Lin Jinghong, the Sect Master of Shu Mountain, was indeed terrifyingly strong. He was no match!

The Shu Mountain Sword Sect, having dominated the Northern Region for years, was truly formidable.

Liu Bude took a deep breath, adjusting his breathing. He stared at Lin Jinghong and said, "Sect Master Lin, your Shu Mountain disciples killed my son. I am merely here to seek justice for him. Must you oppose me so relentlessly?"

Lin Jinghong continued to look at Liu Bude coldly, not caring about what he said, nor considering answering his questions.

He simply uttered one word, cold and ruthless—

"Leave!"

"Lin Jinghong, I am at least the leader of a sect. Do not push me too far..." Liu Bude, driven to madness, his face twisted with rage.

Lin Jinghong remained expressionless, his gaze icy as he stared into Liu Bude's eyes.

"Once, twice, but not thrice. Li Fanchen came to provoke me, Ximen Zhaixing came to steal, and now you, Liu Bude, dare to be insolent on Shu Mountain?

Shu Mountain cannot be insulted!

If you do not disappear from Shu Mountain within ten breaths, I will sacrifice three parts of my vital energy to cut you down here."

Lin Jinghong's voice was calm, without a hint of anger.

But this calm voice startled Liu Bude, making him tremble slightly.

He had never had much contact with Lin Jinghong; this was their first formal meeting.

But this first meeting left a deep impression.

He realized that this Sect Master of Shu Mountain was a ruthless person who spoke little but acted decisively!

Was this really the leader of a righteous sect?

Why was his demeanor so cold and ruthless, almost like someone from the Demon Sect?

Through their brief clash, Liu Bude understood that he was no match for Lin Jinghong, just slightly inferior.

If Lin Jinghong truly decided to risk his vital energy, he might really be able to kill him.

A wise man knows when to retreat!

Just moments ago, Liu Bude was furious and snarling, but now he quickly calmed down, cupping his fists towards Lin Jinghong. "Sect Master Lin, I apologize for any offense today. The green hills remain, and the water flows..."

"Leave!"

Liu Bude was cut off before he could finish.

A sense of humiliation surged within him.

A gentleman takes revenge, even if it takes ten years.

He swore that one day he would personally kill Lin Jinghong to wash away today's shame.

Then, Liu Bude's figure disappeared from Shu Mountain as quickly as he had come.

Sword Pavilion!

When Meng Fan heard that Liu Bude had left Shu Mountain, he was honestly a bit confused.

He didn't even know Liu Bude had come to Shu Mountain!

"Master, was all that commotion earlier caused by Liu Bude coming to Shu Mountain?" Meng Fan asked Elder Lin curiously.

Elder Lin had just returned and informed Meng Fan that Liu Bude had left Shu Mountain.

Hearing Meng Fan's question, Elder Lin nodded. "Indeed, it was the Sect Master and Liu Bude fighting earlier."

"Liu Bude isn't a match for the Sect Master?" Meng Fan asked cautiously.

"Of course not. How could Liu Bude possibly be a match for the Sect Master? In the entire Northern Region, the Sect Master's strength is at the absolute peak. To defeat him, those few old monsters would have to risk their lives to come out of seclusion!"

Such topics didn't interest Meng Fan; those old monsters were beyond his reach.

Knowing that Liu Bude wasn't a match for the Sect Master was enough to put him at ease.

"Master, was Liu Bude injured? Was it serious? Did he die?"

In fact, Meng Fan was most eager to know the answer to the last question.

If Liu Bude had been killed by the Sect Master, then all would be well.

But he knew this was highly unlikely, just an unrealistic hope.

Elder Lin shook his head. "Both the Sect Master and Liu Bude are near the peak of human realms. Killing someone of that level is no easy task.

Although the Sect Master is stronger than Liu Bude, killing him would come at a great cost.

It's not worth it!"

Meng Fan sighed inwardly, feeling it was a pity.
