CHAPTER 715: CHAPTER 712: CLOUD FLOWING SECT, SWORD TOMB! (FIRST UPDATE)

"Young Master Lin!"

Qin Muqing approached, her shyness apparent as she nodded towards Lin Fan.

Although she didn’t know what Linghu Han had told Qin Muqing, the attitude she showed suggested she was informed quite a bit.

Lin Fan didn’t care much, and Qin Muqing wasn’t unpleasant to look at,

"Thank you for your care along the way." Lin Fan smiled faintly at Qin Muqing and nodded.

"Um..."

Qin Muqing’s pretty face became flushed with heat. Initially, in Qin Muqing’s heart, Lin Fan was merely an ordinary cultivator at the Body Integration Realm.

Therefore.

She looked at Lin Fan with the mindset of regarding someone younger!

Now.

Lin Fan had demonstrated astonishing strength. Even Zhou Wen, a Second Rank Holy Emperor, and Chen Jian, a Third Rank Holy Emperor, had both perished at Lin Fan’s hands...

Qin Muqing believed that Lin Fan’s cultivation was unquestionably stronger than hers!

Thus, the mindset of a woman can change in an instant!

"Young Master Lin, you must be tired from your long journey. I will first take you to rest, and then slowly introduce you to the matters of Cloud Flowing Sect," Qin Muqing proposed.

"Alright!"

Lin Fan nodded his head and said farewell to Linghu Han and the others from the Cloud Flowing Sect.

Then.

Under the guidance of Qin Muqing, Lin Fan left the Forbidden Land and arrived at a courtyard filled with chirping birds and fragrant flowers.

The yard wasn’t very large, but it was exceptionally tranquil, located behind the Cloud Flowing Sect’s mountain—small yet fully equipped.

"Young Master Lin, please have a look at the room to see if you need anything. If so, I can make arrangements," Qin Muqing said, now fully embracing her role as she was personally instructed by the Sect Master to serve Lin Fan well. If Lin Fan had any needs, she was to fulfill them—even if he required her...

If it were someone else, Qin Muqing definitely wouldn’t agree to such a request!

But.

The person in question was Lin Fan, and Qin Muqing had accepted that fact.

In her heart, she still harbored a bit of fondness for Lin Fan.

Lin Fan was unaware of Qin Muqing’s thoughts and gently shook his head, "No need, I’ll call for you if there’s anything I need!"

"Mm, okay. Here, take this Sound Transmission Talisman with you, Young Master Lin. You can call me anytime you need something," Qin Muqing said as she handed him a Jade Talisman.

"Okay!"

Lin Fan nodded and accepted the Jade Talisman.

Qin Muqing also left Lin Fan’s residence.

No sooner had Qin Muqing left than Emperor Jade transmitted a message, "Little Fanfan, what are your plans now?"

"I’ll play it by ear. After all, the Breakthrough Ship is destroyed, and I can’t leave the Lost Continent for the time being. However, time is not on my side. If I don’t increase my cultivation rapidly, the Heavenly Demons from beyond will arrive in three years, and Divine Wind Continent will be in danger. Once Divine Wind Continent collapses, not only the Holy Mansion and Spirit Realm, but also Wilderness Continent and even Earth will be in peril!" Lin Fan’s eyebrows were tightly knit.

The Spirit Realm, Wilderness Continent, and Earth all fall under the same Middle Plane.

If Divine Wind Continent were considered a country, then the Spirit Realm would be a province.

Wilderness Continent would be a city!

And Earth would be a county!

If the country no longer existed, how could the provinces, cities, and counties beneath it continue to exist?

Therefore, even if not for Divine Wind Continent, for the sake of Earth, Lin Fan would resist the coming of the otherworldly Heavenly Demons.

"It’s not difficult for you to advance, is it? Just absorb energy, that’ll do. I’ve just scanned with my Divine Sense, and there’s a Sword Tomb behind the Cloud Flowing Sect’s mountain. There are many broken Ancient Swords there, and strong Sword Intent too. You could try to comprehend it," Emperor Jade said.

"A Sword Tomb?"

"Yes, a place for burying swords! If a sword’s master dies, his sword becomes ownerless, having two choices: first, to recognize a new master, or second, to be thrown into the Sword Tomb! With over a million disciples in the Cloud Flowing Sect, when they die, their weapons can only enter the Sword Tomb," Emperor Jade explained.

Lin Fan’s heart stirred slightly.

He immediately used a Sound Transmission Talisman to call Qin Muqing back.

"Young Master Lin, do you need something so soon?" Qin Muqing looked at Lin Fan with a smile.

"Yes, I’d like to visit the Sword Tomb of the Cloud Flowing Sect," said Lin Fan forthrightly without concealment.

After all.

Xingchen Zi had already agreed that he could use any of the sect’s resources.

There should be no problem visiting the Sword Tomb, right?

"Alright."

Qin Muqing didn’t ask further but led Lin Fan towards the Sword Tomb.

Lin Fan’s residence was not far from the Sword Tomb, just a quarter of an hour’s distance.

The Sword Tomb.

They had arrived!

At first glance, the Sword Tomb encompassed an entire valley, stretching over a hundred miles.

Standing outside the Sword Tomb, Lin Fan could feel an overwhelming Sword Qi assaulting his face!

"Such a powerful Sword Intent!" Lin Fan couldn’t help but exclaim; his own comprehension of Sword Intent was merely superficial.

Yet.

Even standing outside the Sword Tomb, Lin Fan could feel the powerful presence of Sword Intent!

"Hehe, of course. The Sword Tomb has been around in the Cloud Flowing Sect for over ten million years. There are over a hundred million swords inside, each with its own owner. After the owners died, their swords were buried here. Many disciples of the Cloud Flowing Sect come here to comprehend Sword Intent, and the closer to the center of the Tomb, the stronger the Sword Intent!" Qin Muqing explained cheerfully, looking in quite a good mood.

"Let’s go, we’ll have a look inside." Lin Fan took the lead and walked into the Sword Tomb.

Qin Muqing followed closely behind.

Upon entering the Sword Tomb, Lin Fan saw many cultivators sitting on both sides of the valley, seated in meditation, comprehending Sword Intent.

Lin Fan did not disturb them and continued forward!

Suddenly.

"Stop! Ahead is my cultivation spot. You, take a detour!" A cold voice came.

Lin Fan’s brows furrowed slightly!

Qin Muqing at his side, however, changed her expression slightly: "Young Master Lin, this is Song Zhen, ranked eighth among the top ten core inner sect disciples of our Cloud Flowing Sect, a Fifth Rank Holy Emperor. Someone like Chen Jian can be overpowered by him alone a hundred times over... We... We should still take a detour..."

"A Fifth Rank Holy Emperor?" Lin Fan thought deeply.

After a second of silence, he laughed!

"You’ve forgotten my status in the Cloud Flowing Sect now, comparable to the Sect Master. Core disciples should be the ones taking detours upon seeing me, not the other way around. Let’s go!"

Lin Fan spoke indifferently and continued on the path he had been following.

"Young Master Lin!"

Qin Muqing was terrified but dared not delay, following quickly behind him.

They walked about a hundred meters more!

Whoosh!

A Sword Qi, like a giant dragon descending from the sky, aimed directly at both Lin Fan and Qin Muqing!

Lin Fan turned around, immediately grabbed Qin Muqing’s hand, and moved ten steps to the side!

"Bang!"

A terrifying sword scar appeared where they had just been standing, like a ravine spanning thirty meters and seven or eight meters deep, it was a shocking sight!

Without a doubt, if that sword strike had hit them, they would have ended up dead or crippled!
