Land Sword Immortal: Eighty Years as the Guardian of the Sword Pavilion Chapter 257 – Hong Qi’s soul has finally been cultivated

Upon hearing the news, ng Fan's expression changed.

Liu Bude coming to Shu Mountain was definitely aid at him.

A figure of Liu Bude's caliber, a leader of a demonic sect, wasn't soone easily fooled. If he wanted an answer, he'd find a way to get it.

ng Fan furrowed his brows. With his current strength, he couldn't even withstand a single finger from Liu Bude!

Though it's said that when the sky falls, the tall ones hold it up, who knows if the tall ones will actually help?

What if they just squat down?

Especially since ng Fan knew that Sect Master Lin Jinghong's identity was questionable, it was hard to remain calm.

However... if he rembered correctly, the Sect Master was an undercover agent from the Fengyun Demon Sect and had no ties to the Skyhawk Demon Sect.

"Master, do you know the relationship between the Fengyun Demon Sect and the Skyhawk Demon Sect?" ng Fan suddenly asked Elder Lin.

Elder Lin was puzzled by such a random question.

But soon, a special excitent appeared in Elder Lin's eyes.

"Though the Fengyun Demon Sect and the Skyhawk Demon Sect both belong to the demonic path, their relationship is terrible, even to the point of being mortal enemies!

Speaking of the Fengyun Demon Sect and the Skyhawk Demon Sect, I have to ntion an old story.

Do you know whose son Liu Chen, the one you killed, was?"

From Elder Lin's tone, ng Fan sensed a strong gossip vibe.

He cooperatively said, "Liu Chen is naturally Liu Bude's son. What's the issue?"

Theoretically, yes, but from Elder Lin's words, ng Fan felt there was more to the story.

Elder Lin said mysteriously, "Liu Chen is most likely Liu Bude's son, but there's a small chance he's not.

Liu Chen's mother, Liu Bude's concubine, was once the childhood sweetheart of Huang Guanfeng, the Grand Elder of the Fengyun Demon Sect.

Liu Bude snatched her away, and soon after, Liu Chen was born. The tiline is a bit unclear.

So, Liu Chen's true parentage is quite mysterious!"

ng Fan wasn't concerned about Liu Chen's parentage.

Who cares whose son he was? It had nothing to do with him.

What ng Fan cared about was the relationship between the Fengyun Demon Sect and the Skyhawk Demon Sect!

Given Liu Bude and Huang Guanfeng's complicated relationship, they must really wish each other "happiness."

Happiness—aning to cut open each other's hearts!

Thus, it seed the Fengyun Demon Sect and the Skyhawk Demon Sect were indeed mortal enemies.

There was no need to worry about the Sect Master colluding with the Skyhawk Demon Sect.

Thinking of this, ng Fan breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed significantly.

"I'm telling you this not to scare you, but to advise you not to leave the Sword Pavilion for the next few days. Stay put until Liu Bude leaves Shu Mountain.

As long as you're in the Sword Pavilion, I can protect you!" Elder Lin said seriously to ng Fan.

ng Fan felt more at ease. With Elder Lin's assurance, he was completely reassured.

However, he couldn't help but ask, "Master, if you were to fight Liu Bude in the Sword Pavilion, what are your chances of winning?"

Elder Lin was silent for a mont, then said, "Zero chance of winning, but a 100% chance of him dying in the Sword Pavilion!"

ng Fan felt completely reassured and returned to his room.

In the following days, ng Fan stayed obediently in the Sword Pavilion, not stepping out even once.

He always valued his life and never took any risks.

***

Three days later, before Liu Bude even arrived at Shu Mountain, ng Fan received good news.

"Master, I've ford my soul body!" Hong Qi's figure floated out from the Hong Qi Sword, looking at ng Fan with excitent and joy.

Her happiness was evident, impossible to suppress.

ng Fan was also very happy for Hong Qi. From the ti he decided to help her form a soul body, it had been a long journey.

Now, it was finally successful!

With a soul body, Hong Qi was no longer just a sword spirit; she had beco an independent entity again.

One day, there was hope for her to be resurrected!

As long as they could find a way to reconstruct a physical body.

"This girl is quite talented.

Normally, a spirit body can't form a soul body.

Because a spirit is a spirit, and a soul is a soul; they are completely different!

But this girl was a living person sacrificed to the sword. Her sword spirit body inherently had a soul foundation, which allowed her to form a soul body."

The old monk spoke up, seeking attention.

ng Fan's divine soul glared at the old monk and said stiffly, "How much longer until my divine soul fully recovers?"

The old monk quickly replied, "No more than seven days."

Seven days, just around the corner.

ng Fan nodded, satisfied.

"Master, Hong Qi thanks you for your support!" Hong Qi floated in front of ng Fan, about to kneel.

If it were before, ng Fan wouldn't have been able to stop her from kneeling.

Because Hong Qi was just a spirit body, and ng Fan hadn't ford his divine soul.

But now it was different. Not only had ng Fan ford his divine soul, but Hong Qi had also ford her soul body.

ng Fan slightly used his divine soul power and imdiately supported Hong Qi's body, preventing her from kneeling.

In a sense, ng Fan could now truly "touch" Hong Qi.

"I've told you many tis, don't kneel to !" ng Fan said, holding Hong Qi, sowhat annoyed.

Hong Qi's face inexplicably turned red as she looked at ng Fan's hand touching her.

ng Fan didn't notice this and continued, "Even though you've ford your soul body, don't be too eager for revenge. We still need to work hard.

I've already asked Senior Disciple Jin to gather information. Your uncle, Ye Qingxuan, is now a cultivator in the Summoning God Realm.

With our current strength, it's not easy to deal with him!"

Helping Hong Qi get revenge was a plan ng Fan had long decided on.

But it required enough strength. Whether it was Li Xuerou or Hong Qi, ng Fan believed that revenge required strength.

Without strength, it was just seeking death!

Especially with Hong Qi's uncle, Ye Qingxuan. Only by using the Hong Qi Sword to personally kill him would it count as revenge in ng Fan's eyes.

Using Elder Lin's Sword Seal or other thods for revenge always felt lacking to ng Fan!

And most importantly, it was too risky.

Without enough strength, one should cultivate diligently and improve. Relying on external forces to do things beyond one's ability would eventually lead to failure.

In the following days, ng Fan still didn't leave the Sword Pavilion, not even once.

Even when he ran out of cultivation pills, he had Senior Disciple Luo find Ye Qingyu to bring them back.

***

A few days later, Liu Bude finally arrived at Shu Mountain.

When Liu Bude descended upon Shu Mountain, ng Fan was still cultivating in the Sword Pavilion, unaware of the event.

The first to sense Liu Bude's arrival at Shu Mountain was Sect Master Lin Jinghong!
