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

Chapter 273 – Traitorous scum who sells out his masters and seeks personal gain

Upon hearing Wu Tian's words, Meng Fan remained expressionless.

He thought that with Wu Tian's personality, he really might bully children.

After all, this guy was purely shameless.

However, despite Wu Tian's shamelessness and tendency to bully the weak, he was also a coward who feared the strong. With the recent threat, Meng Fan was sure this guy wouldn't dare to act recklessly.

Just as Meng Fan was about to descend the mountain with Elder Lin, he noticed that Yang Yuqi had also followed them.

"Master, why is she here?" Meng Fan asked with a frown.

It wasn't that he had anything against Yang Yuqi, but this matter had nothing to do with her. Why was she getting involved?

Elder Lin casually replied, "Before we head to Tianyun Mountain, we need to make a stop at the Great Dragon Empire to take care of some matters."

Hearing this, Meng Fan had nothing more to say.

The matter at Tianyun Mountain indeed had nothing to do with Yang Yuqi, but the Great Dragon Empire was a different story.

Elder Lin rarely left the mountain, so it was understandable that he wanted to handle several matters in one trip.

Meng Fan glanced at Yang Yuqi and then asked Elder Lin, "Master, what are we going to the Great Dragon Empire for? To kill someone or capture someone?"

Elder Lin frowned and stared at Meng Fan. "Why are you so bloodthirsty and violent now? Have you been spending too much time with Wu Tian?"

To be fair, Wu Tian shouldn't take the blame for this.

Meng Fan gave an awkward smile and asked, "So, what are we going to the Great Dragon Empire for?"

"To kill someone!"

Elder Lin's words were concise.

Meng Fan was speechless. Hadn't he guessed correctly?

Why scold him then?

Only Elder Lin could do such things...

If Wu Tian dared to speak to Meng Fan like that, he would probably be left with only one leg by now.

He could bully Wu Tian, and Elder Lin could bully him. No problem there.

However, Meng Fan was still curious about who Elder Lin intended to kill.

After all, Elder Lin spent most of his time at the Shu Mountain Sword Sect and rarely went down the mountain. He had no enemies outside.

Since the target was in the Great Dragon Empire, could it be that Master was avenging his childhood friend Yang Tianxu?

"Who are we going to kill?" Meng Fan asked curiously.

Elder Lin glanced at Meng Fan but said nothing.

Meng Fan felt helpless. If Elder Lin didn't want to say, there was nothing he could do.

He then turned to look at Yang Yuqi. If Elder Lin wouldn't say, maybe this young lady knew?

Seeing Meng Fan looking at her, Yang Yuqi instinctively lowered her head.

Ever since she was almost cut down by Meng Fan last time, she had been somewhat afraid of him.

But despite her fear, she often thought of Meng Fan, and his image would uncontrollably appear in her mind.

This feeling was very special and made her unable to help herself.

"Senior Brother Meng, why... why are you looking at me?" she asked in a small, nervous voice, her head still lowered.

Meng Fan smiled at Yang Yuqi but said nothing.

In front of Elder Lin, he couldn't exactly interrogate Yang Yuqi.

Seeing Meng Fan smile at her, Yang Yuqi became even more nervous. Being with Meng Fan, she couldn't help but feel a sense of fear.

But the more she feared, the more she wanted to see Meng Fan, as if she enjoyed this unique feeling of excitement.

"Let's go. First, to the Great Dragon Empire," Elder Lin said.

After descending Shu Mountain, the three rented a carriage and headed towards the Great Dragon Empire.

Because of Elder Lin's presence, Meng Fan experienced being a coachman for the first time.

Before this, whenever Meng Fan went down the mountain, he always had someone else drive the carriage.

***

After a day and two nights, the carriage finally stopped.

"We're here," Elder Lin said to Meng Fan, who was driving the carriage.

Despite not sleeping for a day and two nights, Meng Fan was still full of energy, without a hint of fatigue.

At his level, even if he didn't sleep for a year, he wouldn't feel tired or sluggish.

Meng Fan jumped off the carriage and took a look around.

"Master, where are we?"

In front of Meng Fan was a picturesque landscape of mountains and rivers.

There were no cities or even towns around.

He couldn't understand why Elder Lin had come here.

He had thought Elder Lin was going to the capital of the Great Dragon Empire, but they had ended up in such a remote place.

"Up ahead is the Dragon Guardian Manor."

Before Elder Lin could answer Meng Fan's question, Yang Yuqi had already spoken up.

Meng Fan smiled at her proactive behavior but said nothing.

However, the name Dragon Guardian Manor caught his attention.

When Meng Fan first arrived at the Sword Pavilion, he had come across a sword named White Night.

The owner of this sword was Ni Feng.

He was the founder of the Dragon Guardian Manor, Lord Eternal Night!

This man had extraordinary talent, rising from obscurity to become the invincible Lord Eternal Night, second only to the emperor of the Great Dragon Empire.

"Master, are you here to kill Lord Eternal Night Ni Feng?" Meng Fan asked, somewhat uncertain.

Elder Lin looked at Meng Fan in surprise. "You know Ni Feng?"

"Of course, the name of Lord Eternal Night is renowned throughout the Northern Region," Meng Fan said seriously.

He wasn't wrong; this was indeed a fact.

Elder Lin shook his head. "Renowned? Hmph, he's just a traitorous scum who sells out his masters and seeks personal gain!"

Hearing this, Meng Fan had some guesses.

"Master, is the Great Dragon Emperor's death related to Lord Eternal Night?"

If it wasn't, Elder Lin wouldn't have traveled all this way to this remote place just to kill someone.

"If it weren't related, I wouldn't be here," Elder Lin said casually.

Yang Yuqi added, "Senior Brother Meng, my father's downfall was due to Ni Feng's treachery. If it weren't for him, my father wouldn't have died!"

Meng Fan sighed slightly.

He had no connection to Yang Tianxu, but he did have a tenuous link to Lord Eternal Night Ni Feng.

After all, he had once seen Ni Feng's Sword Wraith Memory on the White Night sword and had learned the Extreme Path Sword Drawing Technique from it.

This technique was quite impressive, and he had recently passed it on to Shu Changsheng.

To be honest, Meng Fan admired the Ni Feng from the Sword Wraith Memory.

But people change!

The Sword Wraith Memory only contained Ni Feng's memories from childhood to his teenage years.

The current Ni Feng was at least fifty or sixty years old and had long since changed.

Regardless, if Elder Lin wanted to kill Ni Feng, Meng Fan would unconditionally stand by his master's side.

"Master, so you've come to the Dragon Guardian Manor to kill Ni Feng?" Meng Fan asked, unable to hide his concern.

Ni Feng, as the Lord Eternal Night of the Great Dragon Empire and the master of the Dragon Guardian Manor, was truly second only to the emperor, with unparalleled martial prowess.

To be honest, Meng Fan was a bit doubtful whether Elder Lin could defeat Ni Feng.
