115 Setting Up Ambush
After receiving the little girl’s response, Lin Ran knew that his plan could begin.
Although he was secretly happy, Lin Ran didn’t show it on his face. He just said with a sincere expression, “That route is very troubleso. It’ll take too much ti to tell you. I can lead the way.”
The little girl’s hollow eyes seed to light up. “It’s your turn to ask questions.”
“What’s your na?”
Lin Ran asked casually without hesitation. Before the other party could speak, he added, “Don’t misunderstand. I’m not plotting anything. I just suddenly rembered how I’ve known you for a long ti but still didn’t know your na. Also… I don’t kill naless people.”
Hearing the last sentence, the little girl suddenly revealed a strange smile, as if an invisible hand was tugging at the corner of her mouth. “What makes you think you can kill ?”
“We’ll talk about that later.”
Lin Ran replied with a smile, “According to the rules, you have to answer my question first.”
The little girl didn’t say anything imdiately. She just stared at Lin Ran with hollow eyes, as if she wanted to see through him.
However, in the end, the little girl still did not find anything. She could only reply in a reluctant tone, “I don’t have a na. You can call Xiao Huai. This is the na that that woman gave … What makes you think you can kill ?”
“Because I found sothing good.”
Lin Ran said cockily, “It’s a sword. It has so special uses. I think I can use it to kill you… How old are you this year? I an your actual age, not what you look like.”
“370 years old… Is that the sword you have that can absorb evil aura?”
The little girl quickly asked back, but she had no intention of letting Lin Ran answer. She paused for a mont before continuing, “If that’s the case, I’m afraid you’ll be disappointed. That sword can only absorb the evil aura I emit. As long as I seal the evil aura in my body, you won’t be able to absorb anything.”
“Not that one. It’s another sword.”
As Lin Ran spoke, he summoned the Yin-Yang Sword from the Divine Sword Technique Manual and threw it into the yard, as if to say, “Look, I don’t need to use this sword.”
The little girl looked at Lin Ran and then at the Yin-Yang Sword standing in the yard. There was a hint of vigilance in her hollow eyes. “It’s your turn to ask questions.”
Lin Ran suddenly hesitated. He propped his chin on his hand and pondered seriously. “Let think about what to ask.”
The little girl looked at Lin Ran, who was deep in thought, and the ominous feeling in her heart intensified. However, she couldn’t leave because she still had sothing very important to figure out—the sword that Lin Ran said could kill her.
Because of this reason, the little girl could only wait patiently. However, she did not know that while she was being held back by Lin Ran, sothing was quietly happening in the palace.
Under the empress’s orders—to be precise, Lin Ran’s orders—all the palace eunuchs left quickly and quietly within ten miles of the Hidden Sword Pavilion.
Huo Qiyun stood on a roof three miles away. Although he couldn’t see the scene inside the Hidden Sword Pavilion, he could see the black and white sword in the courtyard.
After confirming that it was Lin Ran’s Yin-Yang Sword, Huo Qiyun leaned back and quietly landed on the ground. Imdiately, a guard commander ca over. “Senior Huo, how is the situation?”
“It’s already begun.”
Huo Qiyun nodded. “How’s the preparation?”
“Everything is done as you instructed.”
As the guard commander spoke, he brought Huo Qiyun to the back of a palace wall. There were already hundreds of people lying in ambush here. They all hid their auras and lined up against the palace wall.
“300 people. The lowest is at the first level of Senior Martial Master Realm.”
The guard commander who led the way introduced in a low voice, “As long as you give the order, we can instantly drown the Hidden Sword Pavilion with sword energy. Even a fly can not fly out!”
Huo Qiyun nodded. “Not bad!”
“Thank you for your complint, Senior Huo!”
The guard commander cupped his hands and probed, “However… Who are we ambushing? Tell us a little so that we know who the enemy is.”
“Do what you are told to do. Don’t ask what you shouldn’t ask.”
Huo Qiyun replied coldly. With that, he jumped onto the roof of the watchtower and placed a small whistle by his mouth, blowing out a few short notes.
At the sa ti, in the Hidden Sword Pavilion.
A short sound of bird cry was heard. The little girl was imdiately on guard. However, before she could divert her attention to investigate the source of the sound, she was attracted by the crisp sound of clapping.
“I thought of a good question!”
Lin Ran clapped his hands and said excitedly, “You’re already more than 300 years old. Why did you turn into a little girl? Is it because you’re a pervert?”
“You!”
A hint of anger instantly appeared on the little girl’s face, but in the end, she suppressed her anger and replied seriously, “It’s to confuse that old man. He’s very powerful. Even though I’ve already broken through to the Half-Saint Realm, I was not confident that I could defeat him.”
Lin Ran nodded. So this was what the Ten Miles Sword God ant by “the demon is cunning and sinister”.
The Ten Miles Sword God was an upright person. When he suddenly realized that a little girl had appeared in the secret place where he was in seclusion, he would not be too vigilant even if he felt that it was strange. It was probably because of this that the demon found a chance to sneak attack him.
Just as Lin Ran was thinking to himself, the little girl asked, “What sword is that that can kill ?”
Lin Ran ca back to his senses and quickly replied, “An ebony black sword.”
“What is that?”
The little girl was so shocked that her eyes widened even more, looking like they were about to roll out of her eye sockets.
“It’s called ebony black sword.”
Lin Ran repeated seriously, “I don’t think you’ve heard of it. I nad it myself. Anyway, I won’t need to use it again after I kill you. There’s no need to think of a nice na for it.”
The little girl did not speak, but her hollow eyes had already turned cold.
Ever since she ca into being, she had killed the Sword God and annihilated Eight Directional Mountain.
But now, Lin Ran kept saying “kill her”. He simply didn’t take her seriously!
“Draw your sword!”
The little girl shouted coldly and stood up from the ground. “Let see your ebony sothing sword!”
“It’s called ebony black sword.”
Lin Ran repeated it again, but he sat rooted to the ground and didn’t move. He just waved his hand and said calmly, “You’ll die as soon as my sword is out. Don’t be in such a hurry. Let’s chat for a while more.”
“Chat my ass!”
The little girl was completely enraged by Lin Ran’s words. Her black pupils dilated and instantly covered the whites of her eyes. “Since you want to die so much, I’ll fulfill your wish!”
