Chapter 406 – Elder Lin has been fooling me all along?

"Indeed, this meditation cushion isn't of much use to me now. It's not impossible to give it to you.

However, although it looks like an ordinary cushion, it actually contains many dangers.

If you're not careful, you could end up in a situation where there's no place to bury your body. You must be cautious," Elder Lin warned Meng Fan.

"Master, don't worry. I've already used this meditation cushion a few times, there won't be any problems."

Hearing Meng Fan's words, Elder Lin, who was about to explain the cushion's effects, looked surprised.

"You've used this cushion? And several times at that?"

Meng Fan nodded sheepishly. After all, he had used Elder Lin's cushion without permission, which wasn't quite proper.

But Elder Lin wasn't focused on that point.

As the owner of the cushion, he was well aware of the dangers it contained.

If someone accidentally entered the meditation cushion space, especially for the first time, they could very well perish inside.

"You've entered the internal space of the cushion?" Elder Lin asked again.

"A few times," Meng Fan nodded obediently.

Elder Lin smiled wryly.

Entered?

And several times?

Thinking of the shocks this disciple had brought him time and again, Elder Lin felt there was nothing left to be surprised about.

Such bizarre things actually seemed quite normal now.

"Alright, it's good that you can handle this cushion. In that case, I'll pass it on to you," Elder Lin said, shaking his head.

"By the way, Master, what's the name of this cushion?" Meng Fan had used it for a long time but didn't know its name.

It felt a bit incomplete.

Elder Lin smiled and said, "It's called the Enlightenment Cushion."

Hearing these four words, Meng Fan wasn't surprised at all. The name was indeed quite fitting.

Entering the space within the cushion did have the effect of enlightenment.

"Master, where have you been these days? I tried to find you at the Fengyun Demon Sect but couldn't get any news," Meng Fan asked Elder Lin.

Elder Lin sighed and said, "At first, I was indeed at the Fengyun Demon Sect, but later I wasn't there anymore."

Saying this, Elder Lin's expression changed, and he asked Meng Fan seriously, "By the way, the Sect Master specifically asked me to return this time. He seemed very anxious. What exactly happened?"

The Sect Master asked Master to return?

Meng Fan wasn't surprised by this.

Elder Yang and the Sect Master had just had an incident, and Elder Lin returned the next day. It was normal for there to be a connection.

"Master, the Sect Master asked you to return? How is the Sect Master now?" Meng Fan quickly asked, concerned about the Sect Master's safety.

Elder Lin replied irritably, "That's a question I should be asking you. I have a special way to communicate with the Sect Master, but it's limited. The message I received was for me to return to the Shu Mountain Sword Sect immediately.

After receiving this message, I tried to contact the Sect Master again, but there was no response!"

Hearing this, Meng Fan felt even more that the Sect Master's situation wasn't good.

Otherwise, the Sect Master wouldn't have failed to respond after sending a message to Elder Lin.

"If the Sect Master is in such an urgent situation, it must be something serious. Do you know what happened?" Elder Lin asked Meng Fan.

"Master, you asked the right person. Others might not know."

"Get to the point!"

Meng Fan quickly explained the whole situation.

After listening, Elder Lin frowned deeply, squinting his eyes.

Qingtian Lake?

He had never heard of this place.

But from Meng Fan's description, it seemed extremely strange.

Moreover, this strangeness seemed to have appeared recently. If it had been there before, the Shu Mountain Sword Sect wouldn't be completely unaware.

"Master, do we need to check out Qingtian Lake? I can lead the way, but it's best not to go to the bottom of the lake. Even the Sect Master seemed to have issues after going there. We shouldn't take the risk," Meng Fan cautiously suggested.

He feared Elder Lin might not heed the warning, confident in his own strength, and insist on exploring the lake bottom, so he spoke up first.

Elder Lin glanced at Meng Fan, dissatisfied, "I've roamed the martial world for so many years, I've eaten more salt than you've eaten rice. Do I need your reminder?

Since even the Sect Master was troubled by the lake bottom's strangeness, I certainly won't take the risk.

The Sect Master asked me to return to the Shu Mountain Sword Sect to oversee things in his absence, to prevent any changes. If I rashly encounter any mishap, and something happens to the Shu Mountain Sword Sect, wouldn't I be a sinner?"

Elder Lin's words were somewhat unexpected to Meng Fan.

He knew Elder Lin was strong, undoubtedly so, being an Elder of Shu Mountain, and having a special title of "Sword Elder."

So, Meng Fan always believed Elder Lin was very strong.

But he thought of this strength in a general sense, similar to other Elders of the Shu Mountain Sword Sect.

However, Elder Lin's recent words elevated this "strength."

According to Elder Lin, if Meng Fan understood correctly, Elder Lin was the second-in-command of the Shu Mountain Sword Sect, next to the Sect Master.

Otherwise, why would the Sect Master immediately seek Elder Lin to oversee things after encountering a problem?

This status was much higher than that of an ordinary Elder of the Shu Mountain Sword Sect.

And his strength was much greater!

Was Elder Lin the strongest in the Shu Mountain Sword Sect, second only to the Sect Master?

Before this, Meng Fan had never considered this possibility, but now he couldn't help but think about it.

Because Elder Lin's words indirectly confirmed it!

Meng Fan's first reaction was excitement and joy.

Having such a strong Master was naturally thrilling; who wouldn't be happy to have a powerful backer?

But his second reaction was doubt.

In his impression, his Master wasn't that overwhelmingly strong.

Not that Elder Lin wasn't strong, but not to the extent of being the second-in-command of the Shu Mountain Sword Sect!

For instance, in Meng Fan's memory, Elder Lin had never taught him any Heavenly Grade Sword Techniques of the Shu Mountain Sword Sect.

Even the Myriad Swords Art, he had obtained from Elder Wang and then shared with Elder Lin.

If Elder Lin were truly that strong, how could he not know the Myriad Swords Art?

Even Lin Feiyan knew the Myriad Swords Art!

Thinking of this, Meng Fan's expression changed.

He thought of a question he had never considered before, a very absurd question!

Yes, even Lin Feiyan knew the Myriad Swords Art, how could Elder Lin not?
