Time pa*sed day by day.
Although the auction at East Flag City was only one day long, the afterglow from the auction took a full three days to dissipate completely.
One by one, the disciples of the Sword Immortal Sect returned to the sect.
Lin Ran did not even know about this, as he had already started a new round of cultivation.
After talking to his master Tianxuanzi, Lin Ran had become more enlightened about his future path of sword cultivation.
And after the end of this auction in East Flag City, the atmosphere within all the sects had also started to get tense.
Although the clan competition was an internal competition within the clan, it was a competition that involved the clan.
But this sect competition involved everyone’s ranking within the sect.
The ranking was undoubtedly related to each disciple’s honour and future achievements, so everyone was very concerned about it.
Lin Ran continued to cultivate alone in the space opened up by Tianxuanzi every day.
From time to time, he faced the Three Character Sword Tablet to cultivate, and from time to time, he sparred with the Amethyst Puppet.
Time just pa*sed by day by day.
Leng Qiu did not come looking for him again, seemingly busy with his own cultivation as well.
The atmosphere of the entire Sword Immortal Sect was soon filled with competition.
Everyone was working hard to cultivate their strength, as if they all wanted to achieve a better ranking in the final sect competition.
More than a month soon pa*sed, and it looked like the two-month sect competition was getting closer and closer.
“Weng!”
Inside the separate space, Lin Ran sheathed his sword with a bashful smile on his face.
While in front of him the amethyst puppet this was nodding uncontrollably, while a wound on his arm only was healing rapidly.
“Not bad! Your sword intent is getting stronger and stronger, and now you can even destroy my body, you really surprised me!”
The Amethyst Puppet said.
“It’s just a small wound, it’s just a pity that after two months of hard training, I still haven’t been able to sense where that layer of barrier is!”
Lin Ran said with great disappointment.
“You can’t be too obsessive about cultivation, your master is only asking you to work hard because he doesn’t want you to slack off!”
“It actually doesn’t have much to do with whether or not you can go up in this clan competition!”
“Maybe!”
Lina lamented, although she said that but how could he as a disciple not take it to heart.
“There’s still a few days left, let’s try to see if we can sense the bottleneck of the Dao!”
Lin Ran said to himself.
His sword technique had indeed improved greatly in these last two months, but he had never felt the bottleneck of the second stance, which still made him feel a bit uncomfortable.
And just as Lin Ran was working hard on his training, there was a town located a hundred miles away from East Flag City.
Inside a huge bunker building that was ten metres high, Wang Mang was respectfully standing by the side, while in front of him sat a middle-aged man dressed in a blood-red robe.
The middle-aged man was no other than Wang Mang’s father, the Fortress Master of the Heavenly King Fort, Wang Zhengtian!
“Father, this matter has still spread, and I am afraid that in another three days, it will spread throughout the entire Eastern Flag Domain!”
Wang Mang said respectfully.
The blood-robed middle-aged man frowned slightly and said in a cold voice after a moment of contemplation.
“We have expected this matter for a long time, I want to know how our Heavenly King Fort’s deployment is going? Have the things I arranged been deployed in place!”
“They are all in place, all of them are deployed according to father’s arrangements!”
Wang Mang busily returned.
“Hmm! Then it’s fine, let’s do our best and listen to God’s fate, whether or not our Heavenly King Fort can rise this time is all on this one!”
Wang Zhengtian said, a stern aura flashed in his eyes.
“Right father, have you found out about that Lin Ran I told you about last time?”
Wang Mang asked, he still had Lin Ran on his mind!
“Lin Ran?”
Wang Zhengtian was stunned at his words, followed by a frown that tightened his brow a little more.
“I’m afraid this person is not small, you’d better not mess with him!”
“The fate of my Heavenly King Castle is at stake in this matter of chance, let’s wait until after this matter is completed!”
“He’s not a small man? Father, you’re mistaken, that kid is from Baki City, what kind of influence could he have!”
Wang Mang didn’t quite believe it.
He knew a lot about Lin Ran through Qiu Mo, and always felt that this kid was just from the poor countryside, how could he possibly have any great background strength.
“I’m mistaken? What do you know!”
Wang Zhengtian’s face was icy cold as he said.
“The scouts have reported that this Lin Ran’s background is similar to what you said, but do you know why I’m still saying this!”
“Because just a year ago, the Eastern Chess King had personally ordered a search for a man named Lin Ran!”
“What if this kid is the one the Eastern Chess King is looking for, do you want us at the Heavenly Kings Fort to go against the Eastern Chess King?”
“East. The person the East Chess King is looking for?”
Wang Mang was instantly baffled, he hadn’t thought in any way that Lin Ran would be the person that the Eastern Chess King was looking for.
“Father are you mistaken, there are many people called Lin Ran, it’s not like you don’t know about the Lin family in the Immortal World with the help of the Luo Ran Merchant Firm!”
Wang Mang said busily.
He really didn’t want to think in that direction.
“It’s also possible, but in front of this chance, all must not falter!”
Wang Zhengtian said.
“Yes I understand!”
Wang Mang bowed his head to, he knew that this chance was about the life and death of the whole Heavenly King Castle!
So he could only suppress the anger in his heart towards Lin Ran for the time being.
“I hope you can come, it will save me from having to go looking for you then!”
Wang Mang thought to himself.
It wasn’t impossible, after all, Lin Ran had saved Wolf Ba, and the latter would definitely tell him about the chance.
In that case, this kid might come over as well.
“Humph! I hope you better come, or else I’ll have to come back for you!”
A stern aura flashed across Wang Mang’s eyes.
Days pa*sed by day by day.
Inside and outside of East Flag City, the news of the imminent appearance of the opportunity had spread throughout the entire East Flag Domain.
Even within the major sects, the rumours had gone crazy.
However, Lin Ran didn’t care about any of this, because he wanted to attend this opportunity.
There was another thing he needed to complete, and that was the sect competition.
“Deceased brother, have you heard, that land of opportunity is afraid that it will come out in another week’s time!”
“There are even more cultivators in the entire Eastern Flag City now than there were people at the last auction!”
Bu Er Swordsman poured a cup of wine for Lin Ran and busily asked.
“Naturally, I’ve heard about it, but right now we still have to focus on the sect competition!”
Lin Ran said as he finished his drink.
“I know that, but this chance is a hit, should we go back and check it out!”
Buji Swordsman asked.
“We’ll talk about it later!”
Lin Ran laughed without answering positively.
To be honest he didn’t want to take Bu Er Swordsman there.
Although his strength wasn’t weak either, this land of opportunity was full of dangers, and even Wolf Ba’s Extreme Dao Realm strength had been trapped inside for a thousand years.
Those of them at the Realm of Enlightenment were afraid that if they came across it, they would simply be trapped inside and die.
Lin Ran would naturally be safer with Wolf Ba and Li Ba, two Extreme Dao Realm powerhouses, following him.
But the Bu Er Swordsman and the others were not.
If he went in with them, he was afraid that he wouldn’t be able to take care of them at all when the time came.
It was just that he knew in his heart that once in a while, an opportunity would come to them, and they, too, would not be willing to hold back from going!
Therefore, Lin Ran did not want to answer this question, but he was afraid that this question would come to him sooner or later!
Let’s wait until after the clan competition!
Lin Ran said in his heart, the most important thing in front of him now was the sect’s grand competition!
