Land Sword Immortal: Eighty Years as the Guardian of the Sword Pavilion
Chapter 423 – One man against an entire sect!

Chapter 423 – One man against an entire sect!

"What nonsense are you spouting?" Elder Lin was furious, his beard bristling with anger.

Seeing this, Meng Fan's heart skipped a beat. He hadn't expected Elder Lin to get so angry.

"Master, it was a slip of the tongue, just a slip of the tongue. The Sword Pavilion houses countless swords, making it the sect with the most swords in the world. I've always been proud of this," Meng Fan quickly explained, instantly backing down.

Elder Lin was so angry his teeth itched, because Meng Fan's expression was obviously fake, clearly not the truth.

This kid actually thinks the Sword Pavilion doesn't have enough swords.

Is he crazy?

Has his brain gone bad?

Elder Lin found it hard to understand.

But having his proudest achievement questioned by his only direct disciple was quite upsetting for Elder Lin.

As for why the number of swords in the Sword Pavilion was Elder Lin's proudest achievement?

Well, there's a special reason for that!

In the past, the Sword Pavilion didn't have nearly as many swords as it does now.

The reason it could develop to its current glory is thanks to the efforts of Elder Lin and the Sect Master.

In fact, Elder Lin contributed even more!

Because these two had a hobby of "raiding" others' swords.

They often gambled in duels, and whoever lost had to hand over their sword to the winner.

Thus, the Sword Pavilion's collection of swords gradually became exaggerated.

The Sect Master only occasionally indulged in this, but Elder Lin never tired of it.

The most outrageous instance was when Elder Lin gambled swords with an elder from the Kunlun Sword Sect, with half of the Sword Pavilion's swords as the stake!

Because the Shu Mountain Sword Pavilion had far more swords than the Kunlun Sword Pavilion.

The elder from the Kunlun Sword Sect agreed to the bet without hesitation, thinking he was getting a good deal.

Needless to say, Elder Lin won, or else the Shu Mountain Sword Pavilion wouldn't have so many swords today.

It's worth mentioning that after losing, the Kunlun Sword Sect tried to renege on the deal.

After all, even though the Kunlun Sword Pavilion didn't have as many swords as the Shu Mountain Sword Pavilion, losing half of their swords was a staggering number, truly terrifying.

It's not hard to understand why the Kunlun Sword Sect would resort to such shameless behavior.

If it were the Shu Mountain Sword Sect, they might have tried to renege too.

At the time, facing the Kunlun Sword Sect's refusal, Elder Lin was furious.

But there was nothing he could do, as he couldn't possibly take on the entire Kunlun Sword Sect alone.

However, what Elder Lin couldn't do, someone else could.

After Elder Lin told the Sect Master about it, the Sect Master couldn't stand it and stormed into Kunlun.

One man against an entire sect!

Yes, what Elder Lin couldn't do, the Sect Master did.

The Sect Master single-handedly defeated everyone in the Kunlun Sword Sect, making them submit and fear him!

In the end, the Kunlun Sword Sect obediently handed over half of their Sword Pavilion's swords to the Shu Mountain Sword Sect.

Because of this, Elder Lin has respected the Sect Master for many years!

He has no choice but to respect him, even today, he doesn't have the ability to single-handedly defeat the Kunlun Sword Sect.

Perhaps if he wielded the fully unsealed Demon Locking Sword, there might be hope!

But if he pointed the Demon Locking Sword at the Kunlun Sword Sect, it wouldn't just be the Kunlun Sword Sect; the Shu Mountain Sword Sect would be the first to challenge him.

The Demon Locking Sword isn't something you can just use to cut whoever you want.

Otherwise, it wouldn't have remained sealed for so many years!

"Why do you think the Sword Pavilion has too few swords?" Elder Lin asked Meng Fan with a frown.

He truly couldn't understand why his disciple would think there were too few swords in the Shu Mountain Sword Pavilion, which had the most swords in the Northern Region.

It's simply absurd!

"Uh, Master, I don't think the Sword Pavilion has too few swords. The Shu Mountain Sword Pavilion is the place with the most swords in the Northern Region. I've heard this long ago. How could I think the Shu Mountain Sword Pavilion has too few swords?" Meng Fan quickly said.

"Tell the truth!" Elder Lin said irritably, his gaze piercing into Meng Fan's eyes.

Uh, Meng Fan immediately backed down.

After all, Elder Lin was his master, and his master's authority was fully displayed at this moment, making Meng Fan a bit apprehensive.

"Master, you know that when I polish the swords, I actually gain something. It's a special talent of my physique.

Although there are many swords in the Sword Pavilion, most of them have already been polished by me.

Looking at it now, the swords on the second floor of the Sword Pavilion are almost all polished by me.

As for the third, fourth, and fifth floors, compared to the first and second floors, the number of swords is pitifully small.

I was just thinking that there would be no swords left to polish in the future, so I couldn't help but sigh and feel a bit melancholic."

Hearing Meng Fan's words, a slight smile appeared on Elder Lin's face.

Is that all?

He thought it was something serious!

At worst, he could return to his old ways and increase the number of swords in the Sword Pavilion to a new peak.

But now that he's older, engaging in such competitive behavior seems a bit inappropriate and would damage his reputation.

He could consider taking Meng Fan along, letting Meng Fan follow in his footsteps.

If he personally took action, it would indeed be a bit beneath him.

But if he challenged the successors of other sects' Sword Pavilions, it wouldn't be beneath him; it would actually enhance his reputation.

Thinking of this, Elder Lin couldn't help but feel eager, his restless heart unable to calm down.

"You only need to polish the swords, not take them as your own, right?" Elder Lin asked Meng Fan.

Meng Fan nodded, "I just need to come into contact with the swords for a while. Polishing them isn't really important; it's just for show."

"That's easy. Once you've polished all the swords in the Sword Pavilion, I'll take you to polish swords in other Sword Sects' pavilions," Elder Lin said with a smile.

Meng Fan showed a hint of surprise, "Master, isn't that inappropriate? Will other Sword Sects let us freely enter their Sword Pavilions?"

Elder Lin waved his hand, full of bravado, "If they don't agree, we'll fight until they do!"

Simple and crude, overly vulgar!

Meng Fan strongly... liked it.

"Continue polishing the swords in the Sword Pavilion. When you've finished, come find me, and I'll take you to see the Sword Pavilions of others," Elder Lin said to Meng Fan, then closed his eyes to rest again.

As for Meng Fan, he was full of motivation and began polishing the swords.

On the second floor of the Sword Pavilion, the swords Meng Fan hadn't touched yet were all Law Swords. He casually picked up a Law Sword he hadn't touched before and began to interact with it.

[Sword Name: Tiger Might]

...

The moment Meng Fan touched the sword, a Sword Wraith Memory surged into his mind, and he instantly refined it.

Now, Sword Wraith Memories from Law Swords posed no threat to Meng Fan.

Soon, Meng Fan absorbed this Sword Wraith Memory.

The owner of this sword was from a small sect called Iron Gate Hall.

However, this person was exceptionally talented, rising from a small sect and cultivating all the way to the Primordial Spirit Realm, gaining some fame in the Northern Region.

But once, he offended someone from the Limitless Sword Sect and was killed in a fight.

Truly unfortunate!
