Land Sword Immortal: Eighty Years as the Guardian of the Sword Pavilion Chapter 401 – Elder of Shu Mountain Descends the Mountain

"ng Fan, this matter is not simple!" Yang Ling pondered for a mont before asking, "Where did you find this woman?"

ng Fan replied, "It was in a place called Lion Mountain Town, not far west of Shu Mountain."

"Alright, I understand." Yang Ling nodded and then began to use her cultivation to heal the woman. The so-called healing was rely the simplest thod of expelling demon energy. It wasn't a profound technique; ng Fan and the others could have done it themselves, but the demon energy on this woman was too dense for them to completely remove.

Monts later, the demon energy on the woman was completely expelled by Yang Ling. Her eyebrows twitched, and she slowly woke up.

"Did you save ?" The first thing she asked upon waking was with a face full of confusion. Before she lost consciousness, she had felt that she was about to die. She knew her own body well and thought she wouldn't survive the calamity and strangeness she encountered.

"This is the Shu Mountain Sword Sect. I believe you have heard of it. Yes, we saved you. Now, I need to ask you so questions," Yang Ling said coldly. There was no need to be overly concerned with a mortal woman; maintaining a cold deanor was more effective in getting the answers she wanted. As an elder of the Shu Mountain Sword Sect, Yang Ling had experienced much and was quite adept at handling such situations.

"Shu Mountain Sword Sect?" The woman's eyes lit up upon hearing these four words, and she exclaid, "Thank you, Immortal Master, for saving my life!" Lion Mountain Town was not far from the Shu Mountain Sword Sect, so the townsfolk naturally knew of its fa. To them, Shu Mountain was a celestial mountain, the Shu Mountain Sword Sect was a celestial sect, and its mbers were immortal masters.

"I ask you, where did this demon energy on you co from?" Yang Ling continued to ask coldly. Hearing this question, a look of terror appeared in the woman's eyes. Clearly, this matter had terrified her greatly, and she was still shaken. She swallowed and, after a mont of silence, began to speak, "I don't know what demon energy is, but in recent days, so inexplicable changes have indeed occurred to . Everything started when I went fishing at Qingtian Lake a few days ago. I am a fisherman, and Qingtian Lake is a place I often go to fish. But a few days ago, I inexplicably passed out by the lake. When I woke up and returned ho, my body started to have problems, becoming more and more strange each day."

She didn't understand what Yang Ling ant by demon energy, but she could piece together the logic of what had happened to her. Clearly, everything was related to Qingtian Lake.

"Qingtian Lake?" Yang Ling's brows furrowed, and her gaze grew colder. To have corrupted this woman to such an extent, there must be a boss-level entity in Qingtian Lake! No, it should be a Demon King; even the most powerful boss-level entity wouldn't have this ability.

"Feiyan, you should go back. This ti, you left the mountain without permission. The Sect Master will surely punish you when he finds out, so hurry and admit your mistake!" Yang Ling turned to Lin Feiyan. Lin Feiyan sighed. She knew Elder Yang was deliberately sending her away. She had wanted to go to Qingtian Lake, but it seed she wouldn't have the chance now. Moreover, Elder Yang was right; she would definitely be scolded by her grandfather for leaving the mountain without permission. It would be difficult to leave again!

"Senior Brother ng, my sword technique hasn't advanced yet. Don't forget to guide later," Lin Feiyan said to ng Fan as she prepared to leave.

ng Fan nodded calmly, "Don't worry, I won't forget. You still owe spirit stones!" In the future, he would definitely need to maintain contact with Lin Feiyan. Not to ntion, this young lady was quite capable and trustworthy, not just because of the sword talismans she carried!

After Lin Feiyan left, Yang Ling glanced at Wu Tian and said, "You don't seem to be a disciple of the Shu Mountain Sword Sect, do you?"

Wu Tian quickly replied, "I am preparing to join Elder Lin's tutelage. Once Elder Lin returns, I will join the Shu Mountain Sword Sect."

Yang Ling nodded and said, "Then go back to the Sword Pavilion and wait for Lin Bianyun to return."

Hearing Yang Ling's words, Wu Tian reluctantly returned to the Sword Pavilion. ng Fan, the only one left, felt a bit awkward. Yang Ling had sent Lin Feiyan and Wu Tian away, making her intentions clear. She wanted to take him to Qingtian Lake? To be honest, he didn't really want to go. From Yang Ling's reaction, it was clear this matter was not simple and could be dangerous. ng Fan had always disliked taking risks! But it seed Elder Yang liked taking him on adventures. Could it be that the Hundred Flowers Sect incident had given her the wrong impression of him?

"ng Fan, co with to Qingtian Lake," Yang Ling ordered, giving ng Fan no chance to refuse.

As expected! ng Fan sighed. Elder Yang was a woman of action. Despite the darkening sky, she didn't hesitate to take out her flying boat, bringing ng Fan and the woman aboard.

Flying boats were great; ng Fan didn't have one yet. The speed of a flying boat was much faster than a flying sword. With Elder Yang personally piloting the flying boat, they quickly arrived at Lion Mountain Town and landed by Qingtian Lake.

"You should go ho now," Yang Ling said to the woman.

The woman, who had never experienced such a spectacle, was still in shock from flying for so long.

After a mont, she cald down and thanked Yang Ling profusely before leaving for ho. Her demon energy had been completely expelled by Yang Ling, turning her back into an ordinary person. Yang Ling sent her ho to avoid any potential danger here. If sothing happened, a mortal would have no resistance and would die instantly. If they needed to find her later, it wouldn't be a problem. With Yang Ling's ability, she could locate the woman in a second.

Once the woman was completely gone, Yang Ling turned to ng Fan and said, "If that woman wasn't lying, then this lake is definitely not simple. I brought you here not for help but as a backup, a record. If sothing happens to , you are responsible for returning to the Shu Mountain Sword Sect and reporting everything you saw. Of course, the chances are low. Even if there is a Demon King in the lake, I can handle it! This is just a precaution."

ng Fan smiled bitterly, "Elder Yang, your precaution doesn't help at all. If even you encounter danger, wouldn't I just be cannon fodder, destroyed instantly?" It wasn't that he was cowardly; it was the plain truth.

Yang Ling shook her head slightly and handed ng Fan a talisman.
