Signing In At Mount Sword For 100 Years To Become Invincible

334 Life and Death of the Country

Before Sun Ge could open and ask when a strange breeze suddenly swept up in the courtyard. Then, a ball of white fog quietly landed on the ground like a cloud.

The wind blew and the clouds dissipated. A young man in white appeared from the clouds. He exuded a scholarly aura, but there was an indescribable maliciousness in his eyes.

“Tianqi?”

Sun Ge recognized the person. He didn’t know that the real Chen Tianqi had been killed, but now he realized why Lin Ran was here today.

Last night, Lin Ran said that Chen Tianqi would come to look for him this morning, but Lin Ran said that he wasn’t here for him. Then, who Lin Ran was here for was obvious.

At the same time, “Chen Tianqi” also saw Lin Ran. He frowned slightly and looked at Sun Ge with a sinister gaze. “Why is he here?”

“I’m here to see you.”

Without waiting for Sun Ge to explain, Lin Ran took the initiative to step forward. He crossed his arms and sized up the other party with a playful smile. “Should I call you Your Majesty now or Chen Tianqi?”

“Chen Tianqi”‘s eyes flickered, but he didn’t say anything. Sun Ge walked out of the door and sighed helplessly. “Tianqi, he already knows about it.”

Hearing this, “Chen Tianqi”‘s malicious eyes suddenly turned cold. “Did you spill the beans?”

Sun Ge opened his mouth but didn’t say anything because he didn’t know how to explain it. Although Lin Ran had guessed most of it himself, if he had been more careful back then, Lin Ran might not be able to guess it.

Seeing that Sun Ge was silent for a long time, “Chen Tianqi” sighed unhappily and turned to look at Lin Ran, who was smiling. “What do you want?”

“Cooperation.”

Lin Ran went straight to the point. “I think you know very well that Xuan Wushang is gone. No one knows when he will appear and what he will do after he appears.”

“Chen Tianqi” looked down at the ground and did not speak. He frowned slightly as if he was hesitating. After a few minutes, he looked up and asked, “What benefits can I obtain from cooperating with you?”

“I can let you die a bit later.”

Lin Ran replied in a relaxed tone, as if he was talking about something trivial. However, “Chen Tianqi” and Sun Ge’s expressions changed at the same time!

“Let me die later?”

“Chen Tianqi”‘s eyes turned cold, and the white robe that covered his body fluttered even though there was no wind. “We don’t seem to have grudges against each other, do we?”

“No, we don’t, but you owe me a life.”

Lin Ran said, and his originally relaxed expression gradually turned cold, “Don’t think you can get away with taking Zou Hao’s life.”

“Zou Hao?”

“Chen Tianqi” looked confused, as if he didn’t know what Lin Ran was talking about. After recalling for a moment, he nodded in realization. “You mean the person who was secretly investigating Nanjiang Town, right? So his name is Zou Hao.”

Hearing the disdainful tone, Lin Ran’s expression darkened.

“Chen Tianqi” still didn’t seem to care. He nodded slightly and admitted, “I killed him, but before that, I had already warned him to stop. However, he chose to die. How can I be blamed for that?”

“Whatever you say. In short, I’ll definitely hold you accountable for Zou Hao’s death.”

Lin Ran replied coldly with a dark expression, “But if you agree to cooperate, I can kill you a bit later. At the very least, I can give you some time to make up for your regret.”

“How considerate…”

“Chen Tianqi” grinned. However, with his sinister expression, no matter how one looked at it, one would think that his grin was strange.

“Tianqi…”

Sensing the tense atmosphere, Sun Ge took a few steps forward and stood between the two of them. “It was my negligence not to keep it a secret, but after thinking about it carefully last night, I think it’s not a bad thing.”

“Oh?” Chen Tianqi asked with interest. “Why do you say that?”

“We did all of this for…”

Sun Ge subconsciously blurted out, but he suddenly stopped mid-sentence. He looked at Lin Ran warily and continued, “Our goals don’t conflict. In addition, he’s quite strong. If we can get his help, won’t it be easier to achieve our goals?”

“But how do you know that his goal doesn’t conflict with ours?”

“Chen Tianqi” said calmly. Although he was talking to Sun Ge, his eyes were fixed on Lin Ran. “We don’t even know what his motive is.”

“Well…”

Sun Ge didn’t know what to say. Although Lin Ran had said a few things about his goal, anyone with a discerning eye could tell that he was not being completely honest.

As for Lin Ran’s true goal, Sun Ge didn’t even have a clue.

Thinking of this, Sun Ge turned to look at Lin Ran at the door. “If you really want to cooperate, show your sincerity.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Sun Ge stared at Lin Ran with a burning gaze, looking like he would fall out with him if he didn’t tell him the truth.

However, in fact, Sun Ge was not confident. After all, Lin Ran’s cultivation was extraordinary and he had the entire Heavenly Saint Dynasty backing him. No matter what, there was no need for Lin Ran to cooperate with them.

However, to Sun Ge’s surprise, after hearing his words, Lin Ran really said sincerely, “I want to overthrow the Great Yong Dynasty.”

Lin Ran’s voice was not loud, but these eight words were like eight thunderclaps that exploded in Sun Ge’s ears. Even “Chen Tianqi”‘ widened his eyes in shock.

Overthrow the Great Yong Dynasty? How presumptuous of him to say such a thing in front of two people from the Great Yong Dynasty.

After a few minutes, Sun Ge came back to his senses and asked in disbelief, “What did you just say?”

“I want to overthrow the Great Yong Dynasty.”

Lin Ran repeated it without hiding anything. His eyes darted back and forth between the two of them. “Don’t you want to liberate the Iron City? Overthrow the Great Yong Dynasty with me and let the Heavenly Saint Dynasty become the new ruler of this place. At that time, your goal will naturally be achieved.”

Sun Ge looked at Lin Ran with a subtle expression. His first reaction was that Lin Ran was talking nonsense.

However, when Sun Ge saw the seriousness in Lin Ran’s eyes, he realized that Lin Ran was not joking. He really wanted to join forces with them to overthrow the Great Yong Dynasty!

“Aren’t you being too confident?”

Sun Ge’s face darkened as he said coldly, “What makes you think we’ll betray our own country?”

As soon as Sun Ge finished speaking, the surrounding temperature seemed to have dropped below freezing point.

Wisps of cold wind blades wreaked havoc and circled around, emitting ear-piercing screeches. It was as if countless ferocious beasts were prepared to tear Lin Ran into pieces at any moment!
