Land Sword Immortal: Eighty Years as the Guardian of the Sword Pavilion Chapter 145 – The Thief of Saints, Simon Picks the Stars

Senior Disciple Jin led ng Fan out of the Scripture Pavilion and sat down on a stone bench under an old tree outside.

"What's wrong, Senior Disciple Jin?" ng Fan also sat down on the stone bench, asking curiously.

"The clan has assigned another elder to take over the Scripture Pavilion. From now on, don't ntion Elder Lin in the Scripture Pavilion to avoid unnecessary trouble," Senior Disciple Jin said expressionlessly.

This guy, as always, had a poker face. His lack of expression wasn't directed at ng Fan specifically.

ng Fan sighed upon hearing this.

But it was quite normal. The Scripture Pavilion needed an elder to guard it. Since Elder Wang had left, the clan would naturally send a new elder.

Judging by Senior Disciple Jin's reaction, it seed that the new elder of the Scripture Pavilion didn't have a good relationship with Elder Wang.

When a wall falls, everyone pushes. That's reality.

If everyone suddenly claid to have a good relationship with Elder Wang, that would be suspicious!

ng Fan nodded and said, "I understand. But Senior Disciple Jin, do you have any news about Elder Wang?"

Senior Disciple Jin's expression remained unchanged as he said, "The Shu Mountain Sword Sect has already sent people from the Enforcent Hall to capture Elder Wang. But don't worry, those from the Enforcent Hall won't be able to find him. Even if they do, they won't be a match for him!"

In fact, ng Fan didn't know that among the elders of the Shu Mountain Sword Sect, Elder Wang was considered one of the strongest.

Ordinary elders were no match for him at all.

"That's good to hear." ng Fan breathed a sigh of relief.

Senior Disciple Jin looked at ng Fan and, surprisingly, took the initiative to speak to him, "Have you broken through again?"

Under normal circumstances, it was always ng Fan who initiated conversations, and Senior Disciple Jin would answer.

He rarely asked ng Fan anything proactively.

There was a hint of surprise in his tone.

Because ng Fan's progress was astonishingly fast. Anyone who paid attention would be amazed.

"Just a bit of luck," ng Fan said casually.

Senior Disciple Jin glanced at ng Fan, feeling a bit speechless.

Luck?

When he first t ng Fan, ng Fan had just entered the True Martial Realm.

In just a few short months, he had already reached the Heavenly Origin Realm.

This cultivation speed was simply outrageous.

Even cultivators with excellent spiritual roots would find this speed surprising.

Not to ntion, Senior Disciple Jin knew very well that ng Fan had mixed spiritual roots!

But everyone had their own secrets, and Senior Disciple Jin, having seen much of the world, naturally wouldn't press for answers.

Senior Disciple Jin said to ng Fan, "From now on, don't co to the Scripture Pavilion to ask about Elder Wang. If there's any news, I'll inform you at the Sword Pavilion."

At the Sword Pavilion, there was less need for caution, as Senior Disciple Jin knew that Elder Lin and Elder Wang had a good relationship.

"Alright, thank you, Senior Disciple Jin.

By the way, every ti I co to see you, I hear so very exciting news.

Last ti you said the Sect Master of the Ghost King Sect would co to Shu Mountain to draw a sword from the Demon Locking Tower, and he actually did.

Do you have any gossip to share recently?"

To ng Fan, Senior Disciple Jin was like an all-knowing sage, a "Mr. Know-it-all."

Since he was here, his curiosity was piqued.

Senior Disciple Jin smiled wryly, "Gossip? Recently, the biggest gossip happened right here in Shu Mountain. You probably already know, so there's not much to say."

Happened in Shu Mountain?

ng Fan was taken aback. He had been in seclusion for ten days and nights and had no idea what had happened in Shu Mountain.

Senior Disciple Jin's words only fueled his curiosity.

ng Fan quickly asked, "Senior Disciple Jin, I've been in seclusion for ten days and nights. What happened in Shu Mountain?"

Senior Disciple Jin gave ng Fan a surprised look and said, "Seclusion for ten days and nights? Then you really missed a big show. But this ti, Shu Mountain suffered a loss!"

"What happened?" ng Fan asked eagerly.

"Ten days ago, the Sect Master of the Ghost King Sect, Li Fanchen, ca to Shu Mountain to break into the Demon Locking Tower. The Sect Master personally stopped him. You ntioned this earlier, so you should know about it, right?"

ng Fan nodded, "I know about that. After it happened, I went into seclusion. What happened next?"

"The Sect Master of the Ghost King Sect, Li Fanchen, was defeated by our Sect Master. This caused quite a stir. But after retreating from Shu Mountain, Li Fanchen didn't give up!"

"What do you an? Did Li Fanchen co back to Shu Mountain while I was in seclusion?"

ng Fan was extrely surprised. Since Li Fanchen wasn't a match for the Sect Master, coming back to Shu Mountain would be asking for humiliation. He wouldn't be that foolish, would he?

But Senior Disciple Jin just said that Shu Mountain suffered a loss this ti?

Did Li Fanchen co back and defeat the Sect Master?

In just a few days, how could he have such a drastic change?

ng Fan's mind was filled with questions, and he couldn't figure it out!

Senior Disciple Jin shook his head, "Three days ago, soone did co to Shu Mountain, but it wasn't Li Fanchen."

"Then who was it?" ng Fan asked.

"The world's number one thief, known as the Saint of Thieves, Xin Zhaixing. This guy entered the Shu Mountain Sword Sect as if it were an unguarded place and stole the Blood Soul Sword from the Demon Locking Tower!" Senior Disciple Jin said with a complex and helpless tone.

ng Fan was shocked upon hearing this.

The Blood Soul Sword was stolen?

This...

It sounded absurd!

Senior Disciple Jin continued, "If Xin Zhaixing hadn't announced it himself, our Shu Mountain Sword Sect wouldn't have known he had been here, let alone that the Blood Soul Sword in the Demon Locking Tower had been stolen!"

After hearing Senior Disciple Jin's words, ng Fan frowned deeply.

The Blood Soul Sword was stolen, and Shu Mountain didn't even know.

It was only discovered because Xin Zhaixing announced it himself.

Truly, he ca and went without a trace!

"Is Xin Zhaixing really that terrifying?" ng Fan asked incredulously.

With Sect Master Lin Jinghong guarding Shu Mountain, Xin Zhaixing could co and go freely, stealing the Blood Soul Sword without being noticed. It was unbelievable!

"Xin Zhaixing is known as the Saint of Thieves for a reason. He truly lives up to his title as the world's number one thief. If he sets his sights on sothing, there's nothing he can't steal!" Senior Disciple Jin said helplessly.

ng Fan had seen Sect Master Lin Jinghong in action and knew how powerful he was.

For Xin Zhaixing to steal the Blood Soul Sword right under the Sect Master's nose without being detected was truly astonishing.

It seed there was nothing in the world that Xin Zhaixing couldn't steal!

ng Fan sighed.

"With such skills, he could have made a na for himself in the world. Why choose to be a thief?"
