Signing In At Mount Sword For 100 Years To Become Invincible-Chapter 312 - Cloudy Mountain and Mist, Directly Asking the Culprit
312 Cloudy Mountain and Mist, Directly Asking the Culprit
Seeing that Lin Ran didn’t seem to believe him, Huo Qiyun looked anxious. “It’s true this time! Because Liu Hongshan told me!”
“Liu Hongshan!”
Lin Ran’s expression changed, and his attitude clearly became serious. “When did you see Liu Hongshan? Why would he tell you this?”
“I don’t know why he told me, either. And I didn’t believe him at first.”
Huo Qiyun spread out his hands with a strange expression. After a pause, he said, “However, he told me that I could find you in the dungeon of the Iron City, and I did find you, so I think his words are not completely unbelievable.”
Lin Ran nodded in agreement, but he still looked suspicious. “But that’s not right. I saw Liu Hongshan this morning. Could it be that he rushed to Heavenly Saints immediately after parting ways with me?”
Huo Qiyun looked puzzled. “What’s so strange about that? Isn’t that guy always coming and going in a hurry?”
Lin Ran frowned and didn’t say anything. Although Liu Hongshan had always been mysterious, he felt that something was amiss this time.
At first, Liu Hongshan was ordered by Xuan Wushang to think of ways to obtain the Sacred Abyss Sword, but then he went to the Heavenly Saints to undermine Xuan Wushang. Did he really want to help Xuan Wushang? If he didn’t, what was the point of doing all this?
As soon as these questions popped up, Lin Ran felt a headache coming on. Not only because he had no clue, but also because if he wanted to know the answer, he could only ask Liu Hongshan in person. Otherwise, there was no way to figure it out.
Thinking of this, Lin Ran put this matter to the back of his mind for the time being and turned to look at Huo Qiyun. “Let’s talk about your situation first. When did you wake up? How’s Xiao Huai?”
“Why are you asking this at a time like this? The most important thing now is to go back quickly!”
Huo Qiyun frowned and said unhappily, “I know you have prejudice against Liu Hongshan, but since I can find you here, it means that he wasn’t lying! Besides…”
Lin Ran waved his hand and interrupted Huo Qiyun. He sighed and said helplessly, “I know you’re anxious, but don’t be anxious. I don’t have to tell you how cunning Liu Hongshan is. If we act rashly without figuring it out, who knows if we’ll fall into some trap?”
Although Huo Qiyun was anxious, he knew that what Lin Ran said made sense. He took a deep breath to calm himself down and slowly told him the whole story.
At that time.
When Huo Qiyun had just woken up, he felt intense pain all over his body and found it difficult to move. At the same time, his internal energy seemed to have gone berserk. Fortunately, a few strangers beside him saved him in time, preventing his meridians from being destroyed.
After that, Huo Qiyun found out that those “strangers” were the Wood Guards, who specialized in healing in the Five Elements Imperial Guard. However, by the time he could move on his own, it was already late at night.
After Huo Qiyun recovered, he was imprisoned by Tu Baichuan. It was also at that time that he was surprised to find that he had already entered the Grandmaster Realm. However, his realm seemed to be unstable. Even he could not clearly tell which level he was at.
At this point, Huo Qiyun looked a little embarrassed.
Lin Ran saw this and thought that it was because Huo Qiyun didn’t know his cultivation level. He paused for a moment and comforted him. “Actually, you don’t have to worry too much. The Grandmaster Realm is a dividing line. The way the internal energy circulates is very different from before. It’s normal not to know your level at first.”
Huo Qiyun smiled awkwardly. He changed the topic and continued, “After that, I met His Majesty. She said that you were wanted for something.”
“I found an opportunity to escape. I wanted to go to Mount Sword to see if you had left any clues, but I met Liu Hongshan on the way.”
“He told me that you were in the Great Yong Dynasty’s Iron City. He also said that if I wanted to find you, I only needed to commit some crimes in the city and had the people of the Iron City arrest me and throw me in jail. That way, I would definitely be able to see you.”
“I see…”
Lin Ran nodded thoughtfully, then suddenly realized that something was wrong.
Lin Ran was imprisoned because he was suspected of killing Guyue Dao, but how did Liu Hongshan know in advance that he would be thrown into the dungeon?
Puzzled, Lin Ran asked directly. Unsurprisingly, Huo Qiyun had no clue.
After a moment of silence, Huo Qiyun suddenly had a thought. “Could it be that they had been planning to throw you here from the beginning, so Liu Hongshan knew in advance?”
“I don’t think so,” Lin Ran said with a frown.
If Xuan Wushang wanted to put him in jail, he had many ways to do it. But how did Xuan Wushang know that he would definitely stay in the Iron City?
It had to be known that Lin Ran came to the Great Yong Dynasty on a whim. Before this, he had no idea about the existence of the Iron City.
Liu Hongshan could lure Lin Ran into the Iron City, but Liu Hongshan couldn’t guarantee that Lin Ran would continue to stay in the Iron City. Could Xuan Wushang really predict Lin Ran’s decision-making, but this didn’t seem possible.
“Could it be that me knowing Ye Jin is also part of their plan?”
Lin Ran suddenly had a bold idea, but on second thought, he knew that it was impossible. His meeting with Ye Jin was completely a coincidence. If Xuan Wushang could even foresee this, then he was too powerful.
“Damn Xuan Wushang!”
Huo Qiyun hammered the ground heavily. “What exactly does he want?”
Hearing this, Lin Ran suddenly had an idea. “That’s right! We can ask him what he wants directly!”
Huo Qiyun was stunned. “How? Xuan Wushang is also locked up here?”
“Of course not, but he is in the Iron City.”
Lin Ran shook his head, and a smile slowly appeared on his face. “But it’s not that easy to see him. We still have to do something.”
