Land Sword Immortal: Eighty Years as the Guardian of the Sword Pavilion Chapter 315 – Shu Mountain disciples, a body of righteousnes

ng Fan arrived at the Demon Extermination Hall, casually picked up a task, and then headed down the mountain.

As a deacon of the Shu Mountain Sword Sect, leaving the mountain required registration. ng Fan didn't bother to find an excuse, so he simply took a task from the Demon Extermination Hall and went down the mountain directly.

The task ng Fan picked was a demon-slaying mission.

In Qingyue Forest, a demonic beast had been appearing frequently, often injuring people.

After the local residents reported this issue, it was eventually assigned to the Demon Extermination Hall of the Shu Mountain Sword Sect.

The task had just been posted today, and ng Fan happened to co across it.

The reward for this task wasn't much, just a hundred Spirit Stones. ng Fan took this task because Qingyue Forest was not far from Huoyun Town.

It was on the way!

Apart from Shu Changsheng of the Sword Pavilion and Senior Disciple Luo, ng Fan didn't tell anyone else he was going down the mountain, including Senior Disciple Jin.

In fact, although ng Fan had gone down the mountain several tis, this was his first ti doing it alone.

He bought a carriage and drove it by himself towards Qingyue Forest.

Qingyue Forest and Huoyun Town were in the sa direction.

Since ng Fan had taken this task, he planned to deal with the demonic beast first on his way.

According to the intelligence, it was a tiger demon with strength equivalent to a human cultivator at the Heavenly Origin Realm, which was why the reward was only 100 Spirit Stones.

Such a minor demon was a piece of cake for ng Fan, not worth ntioning.

The carriage sped along for an hour before ng Fan suddenly realized that he was alone this ti and didn't need the carriage.

It was slowing him down!

He had developed a habit of buying a carriage every ti he went down the mountain.

Realizing this, he slashed the reins with a burst of Sword Qi, abandoning the carriage.

Then he rode the horse, speeding towards Qingyue Forest.

As night fell, ng Fan passed through Longyan Town and decided to rest there for the night.

He didn't need rest, but the horse did, or it would collapse from exhaustion.

For three consecutive days, ng Fan traveled during the day and found an inn to rest at night.

On the fourth day, he arrived at a place called Xueguang Town.

This place was already close to the Huoyun Mountain Range, not far from Huoyun Town and Qingyue Forest.

In fact, this area was already under the control of the Fengyun Demon Sect!

In Xueguang Town, ng Fan sold his horse.

Since he was near Huoyun Town, he could travel faster on foot than on horseback!

ng Fan planned to go to Qingyue Forest the next day, deal with the demonic beast, complete his task, and then fully focus on gathering information about his master.

In the evening, ng Fan dined in the inn's hall.

He ordered two pounds of braised beef, two side dishes, and two pounds of strong liquor.

He had to admit, the food and drink outside were much better than those at the Shu Mountain Sword Sect's canteen.

Although the Shu Mountain Sword Sect was one of the three great sword sects in the Northern Region, the food there was as bland as the als at ng Fan's school in his previous life, with no flavor and hardly any oil.

Of course, those with so status wouldn't eat the canteen's mass-cooked als.

For example, Liu Yanping's family had no shortage of chefs and servants.

But Elder Lin, who lived alone, didn't care about such things. Besides him, only Senior Disciple Luo and ng Fan lived in the Sword Pavilion.

Moreover, Elder Lin had long practiced inedia and had no desire for food!

In the inn's hall, ng Fan ate and drank while listening to the conversations around him.

With his hearing, he could even hear the kitchen staff talking clearly.

Although he knew these people were unlikely to have information about his master, ng Fan still intended to gather so information.

"Did you hear? Last night, the concubine of Lord Lu died."

"Died? How did she die?"

"I heard she committed adultery and was beaten to death by Lord Lu."

"No, you're behind the tis. The concubine wasn't beaten to death by Lord Lu but by his main wife."

"That's all nonsense. The latest news I got is that Lord Lu's entire family was killed, not a single survivor."

"This incident was so terrible that the authorities didn't reveal the truth."

"The whole family dead? How is that possible? Who could be so heartless?"

"Don't believe ? Go see for yourself. Lord Lu's mansion has been sealed off, and no one is allowed near."

...

In the inn, since soone brought it up, almost everyone was now discussing Lord Lu's family.

After all, such a massacre was rare and naturally a hot topic!

But as he listened, ng Fan frowned slightly.

He had an instinctive feeling that this wasn't just a simple case of revenge.

His intuition told him it was related to demons, which was a sort of professional instinct.

However, ng Fan was here to gather information about Elder Lin and didn't want to get involved in other matters, so he didn't bother to check out Lord Lu's mansion.

Although demon-slaying was the duty of Shu Mountain disciples, ng Fan wasn't the type to compulsively seek out demons to fight.

If he happened to encounter one, he wouldn't hesitate to act. He wouldn't ignore demons harming people.

But now that Lord Lu's family was already dead, he couldn't possibly investigate each case; that was the authorities' job.

But sotis, the more you want to avoid sothing, the more it cos to you.

In his previous life, this seed to be called so kind of law, but ng Fan couldn't rember.

That night, while ditating on his bed in the inn, ng Fan sensed a strong demonic aura.

More importantly, he also slled blood.

This indicated that a demon was harming people!

As a Shu Mountain disciple, ng Fan couldn't ignore such a situation.

He extended his Divine Sense to see what kind of demon was causing trouble.

If it was within his capability, a demon below the Summoning God Realm, he would definitely act to slay the demon and save lives.

But if it was a demon at the Summoning God Realm, ng Fan wouldn't risk his life. He wasn't that noble!

ng Fan's Divine Sense detected the presence of a demon in the northeast part of the town.

Lu Mansion!

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be the mansion of Lord Lu, which people in the inn had been discussing earlier.

ng Fan's intuition was correct; Lord Lu's family had indeed been killed by a demon.

What was worse, the demon had already killed Lord Lu's family last night and had returned tonight.

It was like a wolf that kept coming back to a sheep it had already skinned.

Lord Lu's family was already dead, and the blood ng Fan sensed ca from the soldiers patrolling the mansion.

Out of a squad of eight soldiers, three had already been killed, and the remaining five were huddled at the gate, trembling.

They weren't trying to escape because they found that the wooden gate had suddenly beco as hard as a stone wall!
