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

Chapter 241 – Senior Brother Meng, there’s no need for such a big show of force

In the morning, Meng Fan, as usual, continued to cultivate within the Thousand Catty Fall formation at the Cliff of Remorse.

One had to admit, Meng Fan had a strong determination.

When it came to cultivation, these trivial matters couldn't affect him at all.

***

At noon, Meng Fan arrived at Liu Yanping's courtyard.

In fact, he wasn't late, but both Liu Changyuan and Liu Ye Han, as well as Yang Shishi and Ye Qingyu, were already waiting for him.

One had to say, these "disciples" still had quite a bit of "respect for their master."

Looking at them, Meng Fan spoke directly, "To improve your sword technique, burying your head in hard practice is too inefficient. Only real combat can quickly enhance your sword skills.

These past days, I've given you systematic and detailed guidance on your sword techniques, and I've helped you fill in many flaws and gaps.

Today, I won't give you any more verbal instructions. I will take you into real combat!"

Hearing Meng Fan's words, the few people opposite him were stunned.

This sudden change indeed caught them off guard!

"Real combat? Senior Brother Meng, do you mean sparring among ourselves?" Ye Qingyu asked, a bit puzzled.

Meng Fan immediately shook his head and said, "Sparring among fellow disciples is of little significance to you. By real combat, I mean life-and-death battles."

He paused, then looked at the four of them and asked, "Among you four, has anyone never stained their hands with blood, never killed anyone?"

After a moment, Meng Fan's face showed surprise.

None of the four had ever killed anyone!

To be honest, this was unexpected for Meng Fan.

But he quickly realized that they were all disciples of the Shu Mountain Sword Sect, and three of them were from the Alchemy Hall.

Killing was too distant from them.

In theory, as a Shu Mountain disciple, Meng Fan shouldn't have killed anyone either. But he had encountered several accidents, not only killing people but more than one!

"This time, I plan to take you down the mountain, and the purpose is to kill!

Near Deyun Town, there are disciples of the Skyhawk Demon Sect committing evil deeds and harming the people.

Each of you must kill at least one Skyhawk Demon Sect disciple to rid the people of their harm.

Of course, if anyone feels they can't handle it, you can opt out, and I won't take you down the mountain!"

Meng Fan spoke passionately and righteously, but in truth, he just wanted to find a few fighters to do his bidding.

However, what he said was not wrong; real combat is the only way to test sword techniques.

Moreover, the disciples of the Skyhawk Demon Sect near Deyun Town were indeed heinous and deserved to die!

The task of Shu Mountain disciples is to slay demons and eliminate evil.

And for these demon sect disciples who harm the people, even if they didn't act, the Enforcement Hall of the Shu Mountain Sword Sect would eventually come to kill them.

"In fact, this isn't killing; it's slaying demons and exterminating evil!" Meng Fan continued to persuade.

In the end, Liu Ye Han, Liu Changyuan, and Ye Qingyu all decided to follow Meng Fan down the mountain to Deyun Town.

For some reason, Yang Shishi was grounded by her family and wasn't allowed to leave Shu Mountain.

Then Liu Yanping also wanted to go, but Meng Fan directly refused, telling her to stay and take care of Shu Changsheng.

Sword Pavilion.

Li Xuerou had been waiting here for a long time.

When Meng Fan arrived with Ye Qingyu and the others, a hint of surprise appeared on her face.

"Brother, who are they?" Li Xuerou asked with a frown.

"They're coming with us to Deyun Town to deal with those evil Skyhawk Demon Sect disciples," Meng Fan casually replied, not explaining much.

Li Xuerou didn't ask further. More people meant more strength, which was a good thing!

She was just curious when her brother Meng Fan had gathered so many experts around him.

From Li Xuerou's perspective, these three were indeed experts.

One was at the same realm as her, and the other two were even higher, their realms indiscernible.

Not only was Li Xuerou surprised, but Ye Qingyu and the others were also a bit taken aback, not expecting another person to join them.

Although they weren't familiar with Li Xuerou, they had heard of her.

After all, she was a prominent figure among the younger generation of Shu Mountain, possessing a rare Excellent Spiritual Root, with astonishing talent and cultivation speed!

Standing next to Meng Fan, Li Xuerou didn't seem outstanding, but in fact, she was the object of admiration for many disciples of the Shu Mountain Sword Sect.

Her fame was considerable!

The three exchanged glances, all somewhat astonished.

From the way she spoke, it seemed Li Xuerou was Meng Fan's sister?

One had to say, this brother and sister were both extraordinary!

***

In the afternoon, the five of them left Shu Mountain, heading towards Deyun Town.

Deyun Town was three hundred miles from Shu Mountain.

Naturally, Meng Fan was too lazy to walk.

After leaving Shu Mountain, he rented two carriages.

Originally, he planned to share a carriage with Li Xuerou, while the other three shared the second one.

But Ye Qingyu didn't want to share a carriage with two men and insisted on squeezing into Meng Fan's carriage.

Meng Fan needed a driver, and Ye Qingyu had some experience, so she naturally became the driver of his carriage.

Along the way, Liu Changyuan offered multiple times to take over driving from Ye Qingyu, but she refused each time.

The humility of a simp!

***

Two days later, the five of them arrived at Deyun Town.

Yue Lai Inn!

Meng Fan saw Lin Feilong of the Limitless Sword Sect.

"Junior Brother Meng, Junior Sister Li, long time no see!" In the inn's lobby, Lin Feilong greeted Meng Fan and Li Xuerou eagerly.

Meng Fan instinctively frowned. At first sight of Lin Feilong, he felt a sense of dislike.

He couldn't remember if Lin Feilong was older or younger than him.

But regardless of age, this guy calling him Junior Brother right away left Meng Fan with no good impression!

Most importantly, Lin Feilong's cultivation level was only at the fifth layer of the Heavenly Origin realm.

Where did he get the nerve to call himself Senior Brother to Meng Fan and Junior Sister to Li Xuerou?

Meng Fan wasn't one to take slights lightly. He glanced at Liu Changyuan.

Liu Changyuan, though a sibling to Liu Yanping, was much more perceptive.

Seeing Meng Fan's look, Liu Changyuan understood immediately.

He stepped forward quickly, addressing Lin Feilong, "This Junior Brother from the Limitless Sword Sect, your eyesight seems poor. Where do you get the courage to call Senior Brother Meng a Junior Brother?"

If Meng Fan had said this himself, it would have seemed petty and undignified.

But with Liu Changyuan saying it, there was no problem.

After all, someone used to being a simp could easily play the role of a lackey!

In this situation, the only one embarrassed would be Lin Feilong.

"Just dealing with a few Skyhawk Demon Sect disciples, Senior Brother Meng, do we need such a big formation?" Lin Feilong asked awkwardly.

Meng Fan smiled.

"Perhaps, we're not just dealing with the Skyhawk Demon Sect!"
