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

Chapter 271 – Master, so that’s the kind of bullying you meant

Although Princess Yuqi caused quite a stir last time she was at Shu Mountain, she ultimately came with good intentions.

However, her arrogant and domineering nature led her to try and suppress the Shu Mountain disciples.

Later, Meng Fan learned that this young lady came to Shu Mountain on behalf of her father, the Great Dragon Emperor Yang Tianxu, to seek a sword from Elder Lin.

Even though Elder Lin often called Yang Tianxu a scoundrel, the truth was that they were very close, having grown up together.

So, in theory, Elder Lin could be considered a senior to Princess Yuqi, and it wasn't surprising for her to visit occasionally.

However, Meng Fan felt that with her arrogant personality, she wouldn't come just for a visit; there must be another reason.

Seeing Yang Yuqi, Meng Fan didn't immediately return to the Sword God Temple but decided to find out what was going on.

In fact, when Meng Fan saw Yang Yuqi, she also noticed him.

Yang Yuqi had a deep impression of Meng Fan, and her eyes instinctively showed a hint of fear.

She clearly remembered that the last time she came to Shu Mountain, General Wang was blasted to pieces by Meng Fan.

He was truly blasted to pieces, not even a complete bone or piece of flesh could be found.

Moreover, if Elder Lin hadn't intervened, she believed Meng Fan might have really killed her.

So, seeing Meng Fan now, she couldn't help but feel a bit terrified.

"Senior Brother Meng, long time no see," Yang Yuqi greeted Meng Fan cautiously.

Meng Fan nodded. Indeed, it had been a while, and to be honest, he wasn't eager to see this arrogant princess again.

It was worth mentioning that the last time they met, Meng Fan was at the eighth level of the True Martial Realm, while Yang Yuqi was at the ninth level, one level higher than him.

But now, Meng Fan had reached the eighth level of the Heavenly Origin Realm, a whole realm higher, while Yang Yuqi was only at the second level of the Heavenly Origin Realm, a significant gap!

Back then, Meng Fan was one level lower than her and could still defeat her.

Now, Meng Fan was six levels higher; the difference was like night and day.

Meng Fan didn't ask Yang Yuqi why she was here but went straight to the second floor of the Sword Pavilion to find Elder Lin.

"Master, why is the princess of the Great Dragon Empire here again?"

As soon as he asked, Meng Fan's eyebrows furrowed slightly.

He keenly sensed that Elder Lin's state wasn't good, seeming deep and melancholic.

To be precise, it seemed... sorrowful!

Why was Master sorrowful?

It must be related to Yang Yuqi's arrival, Meng Fan thought.

"Sigh..." Elder Lin looked up at Meng Fan and sighed deeply.

"Disciple, do you remember the sword that Yuqi took from the Sword Pavilion last time?"

Meng Fan nodded, "I remember, it was the Snow Sea Sword."

"That old fellow Yang Tianxu, when he sent this young lady to get the Snow Sea Sword, I knew something was wrong with his body. I thought the Snow Sea Sword could help him through this tribulation, but unfortunately, it didn't work," Elder Lin said in a very dejected tone.

"The emperor of the Great Dragon Empire, something happened to him?" Meng Fan asked cautiously.

Elder Lin was silent for a moment, then said sadly, "He's dead!"

Dead?

Meng Fan fell silent upon hearing this.

He had indeed heard from Elder Lin last time that the Great Dragon Emperor had some health issues and had sent Yang Yuqi to get the Snow Sea Sword to save himself.

Who would have thought, in such a short time?

Not only did he fail to save himself, but he also died?

This could only be attributed to fate, beyond anyone's control.

Yang Tianxu, as the emperor of one of the three great empires in the Northern Region, held a status no less than the Sect Master of the Shu Mountain Sword Sect.

Such a prominent figure dying so suddenly left Meng Fan deeply moved.

"Master, my condolences," Meng Fan said, somewhat helplessly.

Elder Lin shook his head and sighed, "Life is unpredictable, birth, old age, sickness, and death, no one can escape it. What is there to be upset about? Besides, even I, might kick the bucket one day!"

Meng Fan said firmly, "Master, you will definitely ascend to the Immortal Realm and achieve eternal life."

Elder Lin smiled and said, "Even someone as extraordinarily talented as the Sect Master may not necessarily ascend to immortality; what chance do I have?"

After a pause, he looked at Meng Fan with hope, "You, on the other hand, are a monstrosity beyond the level of a genius. I believe you have a chance to ascend to immortality.

You must cultivate diligently. I hope to see you ascend to immortality before I die.

That way, I can die in peace.

Having trained a True Immortal disciple, I could boast to the ancestors of the Shu Mountain Sword Sect even in the underworld."

Thinking of this, Elder Lin's eyes were filled with longing and hope!

Meng Fan wanted to scold Elder Lin for being so unambitious, but considering their positions and strength hadn't swapped, he didn't have the courage.

He said to Elder Lin, "Master, if I ascend to the Immortal Realm, I'll take you with me."

Elder Lin smiled and didn't say anything, thinking his disciple was just talking nonsense.

"By the way, Yuqi has lost her father and has come to Shu Mountain to seek refuge with me. Don't bully her."

Hearing Elder Lin's words, Meng Fan was instantly dumbfounded and felt wronged.

"Master, although you are a senior, you can't speak nonsense. When have I ever bullied her?"

"If I hadn't stopped you last time, you almost cut her in half. Isn't that bullying?" Elder Lin glared at Meng Fan.

Meng Fan breathed a sigh of relief.

"Master, so that's the kind of bullying you meant."

Meng Fan almost thought Elder Lin was accusing him of something improper!

Elder Lin was initially confused by Meng Fan's words, not understanding.

It took him a full two seconds to realize what Meng Fan meant by "bully."

He immediately cursed at Meng Fan, "You scoundrel, if you dare to misbehave, I'll break your legs, all three of them!!!"

Meng Fan felt helpless, thinking that Elder Lin was the one who used the word "bully" first. Why was he getting angry now?

He quickly changed the subject, "Master, with the emperor of the Great Dragon Empire dead, why has Yang Yuqi come to Shu Mountain?

You said she came to seek refuge with you? Why would she do that?

Isn't it better to stay as a wealthy princess in the Great Dragon Empire? Why come to the humble Shu Mountain Sword Sect to suffer?"

Calling the Shu Mountain Sword Sect humble was a bit of an exaggeration.

But compared to the grandeur of the Great Dragon Palace, Shu Mountain did seem a bit lacking in luxury.

Elder Lin sighed and said helplessly, "With Yang Tianxu's death, the Great Dragon Empire is in chaos, with treacherous ministers in power and five princes fighting for the throne. Additionally, the Great Wind Empire and the Great Moon Empire are eyeing them covetously.

This young lady, Yuqi, was almost married off as a concubine to the third prince of the Great Wind Empire.

She didn't want that and could only hide in Shu Mountain, hoping to avoid this disaster!"
