Land Sword Immortal: Eighty Years as the Guardian of the Sword Pavilion Chapter 346 – Master, are we going to enter the Demon Lockin

Yang Ling's flying boat was incredibly fast, and soon the three of them were back at Shu Mountain.

As soon as they disembarked, ng Fan said to Yang Ling, "Elder Yang, you can take Li Xuerou to see the Sect Master. I won't be going. After all, this matter has nothing to do with a minor steward like ."

ng Fan naturally wanted to avoid eting the Sect Master if he could.

It might sound exaggerated, but ng Fan felt that if he went to see the Sect Master, it would be like a mouse eting a cat.

A strange, unfounded, and irrational sense of guilt!

Just as ng Fan was about to slip away, Yang Ling grabbed him. With a cold expression, she said, "We are all witnesses to this matter. Reporting to the Sect Master naturally requires all of us to go together.

This way, it will be more convincing when the Sect Master asks questions!

If you leave, the Sect Master will still call for you. As a minor steward, don't trouble the Sect Master to look for you. Just follow along obediently."

Hearing Yang Ling's words, ng Fan felt like crying but had no tears.

"Elder Yang, I'm just a minor steward. My words carry no weight. The Sect Master wouldn't care about what I say.

Moreover, with you here, the Sect Master will surely believe everything you say without doubt. I really don't need to make this trip!"

But Yang Ling ignored ng Fan's protests and dragged both him and Li Xuerou towards the Sect Master's residence.

"The Sect Master is not a tiger; he won't eat you. What are you afraid of? Besides, having the chance to et the Sect Master is sothing many Shu Mountain disciples dream of," Yang Ling said impatiently.

In fact, this was true. The Sect Master seed to dislike crowds and rarely appeared at the Shu Mountain Sword Sect.

Even for major events, the Sect Master was often absent.

So most Shu Mountain disciples had never seen the Sect Master. To see him was indeed a dream co true for many, a rare fortune.

"Elder Yang, I really have urgent matters to attend to at the Sword Pavilion!" ng Fan struggled to say.

"What could be so urgent? Don't worry, it won't take long."

No matter what ng Fan said, Yang Ling didn't let go, dragging him all the way to Sect Master Lin Jinghong's residence.

"Announce to the Sect Master that Yang Ling seeks an audience!" Yang Ling said to the guard at the door.

"Elder Yang, the Sect Master is not in his residence. Please return, and when the Sect Master returns, I will inform him imdiately," the guard said respectfully.

Yang Ling rolled her eyes and said, "I'm not here for a casual visit; it's an important matter. Go and inform the Sect Master imdiately!"

She rolled her eyes because she knew the Sect Master had likely instructed the guards to say he was not in, no matter who ca.

The Sect Master disliked being disturbed, a consistent trait of his.

So no matter who sought an audience, the guards' answer was always that the Sect Master was not in.

Yang Ling was well aware of this.

The guard looked a bit embarrassed and said helplessly, "Elder Yang, this ti the Sect Master truly is not here. He left last night."

Yang Ling frowned and asked sternly, "Are you sure you're not lying to ? You know my temper. If you're lying, you can't bear the consequences!"

The guard smiled bitterly, "Elder Yang, I am not lying. The Sect Master left his residence last night and has not returned since."

Yang Ling scrutinized the guard's eyes and chose to believe him.

She had dealt with this young man many tis and knew him well.

She could tell if he was lying.

Seeing this, ng Fan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Not seeing the Sect Master was exactly what he wanted.

But at tis like this, it was best to remain calm. Saying too much could backfire, so he didn't urge Yang Ling to let him go.

"This is troubleso; the Sect Master is not here!" Yang Ling muttered, "But there's no need to rush. We don't need to return to the Hundred Flowers Sect imdiately. We'll wait for the Sect Master to co back."

Li Xuerou and ng Fan naturally nodded obediently. If Elder Yang wasn't in a hurry, neither were they.

Yang Ling glanced at the Sect Master's residence and prepared to leave. But before she did, she asked the guard, "Did the Sect Master say if he went down the mountain or if he is still sowhere on Shu Mountain?"

The guard shook his head, "Elder Yang, you're making it difficult for . How could I know where the Sect Master went? He wouldn't report his whereabouts to ."

Yang Ling sighed. She knew this, but she asked anyway.

However...

The next second, she said, "Lin Jinghong, Sect Master, if you are on Shu Mountain, you should be able to hear .

I have sothing important to discuss with you, sothing very important!

I just returned from the Hundred Flowers Sect. If you are on Shu Mountain, please let know your location. I have sothing crucial to report!"

Whether the Sect Master heard this or not, ng Fan, standing nearby, certainly did.

His heart skipped a beat. Could the Sect Master hear anything said on Shu Mountain?

That would be disastrous!

Then he thought carefully and realized sothing important.

Yang Ling's first words had been to call out Lin Jinghong's na directly.

Normally, she wouldn't call the Sect Master by na; she would just say "Sect Master."

Those three words, "Lin Jinghong," were indeed abrupt.

So ng Fan guessed that if soone on Shu Mountain said "Lin Jinghong," the Sect Master would sense it and hear what was being said.

Realizing this, ng Fan felt relieved. He had never called Lin Jinghong by na.

No problem!

Then, in the next second, Yang Ling's expression changed slightly, as if she was listening to sothing.

It seed the Sect Master really did respond.

This...

Indeed, the thods of soone at such a high realm were beyond ng Fan's imagination. He was far too inferior.

The next second, Yang Ling continued to drag ng Fan and Li Xuerou, flying rapidly in a certain direction.

"Follow !"

ng Fan was helpless. With her dragging him like this, he had no choice but to follow.

"The Sect Master just contacted . He is at the Demon Locking Tower. You two co with ," Yang Ling said as she flew with ng Fan and Li Xuerou.

The Demon Locking Tower wasn't far from the Sect Master's residence. In fact, for soone like Yang Ling, no place within Shu Mountain was far.

They could reach any place in the blink of an eye!

So almost as soon as Yang Ling finished speaking, they arrived at the entrance of the Demon Locking Tower.

However, the door of the Demon Locking Tower was tightly shut, and ordinary people had no right to approach.

Li Xuerou asked nervously, "Master, are we going into the Demon Locking Tower?"

For Shu Mountain disciples, the Demon Locking Tower was well-known but also a forbidden area.

Ninety-nine percent of Shu Mountain disciples would never set foot in the Demon Locking Tower in their lifeti!

So the Demon Locking Tower was full of mystery for Li Xuerou. She had never imagined she would one day enter it.
