298 Breakthrough! Seventh Level Half-Saint Realm!

Lin Ran’s originally silent internal energy suddenly became restless. He realized something and his expression changed. He turned around and ran into the room he had stayed in last night!

“Lin Ran.”

Ye Jin did not know what had happened. She shouted and was about to chase after Lin Ran when Ye Shixiao stopped her.

“Don’t disturb him.”

Ye Shixiao said in a low voice. His left eye narrowed. “He’s about to break through.”

“Breaking through?”

Ye Jin was stunned when she heard that. Her father didn’t know Lin Ran’s background, but she knew that Lin Ran was at the sixth level of the Half-Saint Realm.

It was said that after entering the Grandmaster Realm, breaking through to another level was as difficult as ascending to the heavens. But how did Lin Ran break through so quickly?

Just as she was about to ask Ye Shixiao if he was mistaken, a faint but extremely pure aura slowly came from Lin Ran’s room.

The two of them could clearly feel that Lin Ran was deliberately controlling it, but the wisp of aura that was emitted still made them feel terrified.

At the same time, on the street outside.

With the crisp sound of horse hooves, a gorgeous carriage slowly drove over from the end of the street.

The riveted wheels pressed against the metal ground, making a rumbling sound. Sun Ge led the horse in front. When he reached the Ye family, he gently reined in and stopped the horse.

“Senior.”

Sun Ge turned to the carriage and cupped his hands. “The thief who stole the saber is here. I’ve already arranged for people to monitor the house, but they haven’t found anything for the time being.”

However, there was no response. Sun Ge knew that this senior’s personality was a little strange, so he did not dare to rush him. He maintained the posture of cupping his hands and lowering his head as he waited patiently.

In the blink of an eye, five minutes passed. The carriage was still quiet. Sun Ge gradually lost patience. He looked behind the carriage with a strange expression and wondered if he had driven the carriage too quickly and left the senior on the road behind.

Just as Sun Ge was wondering if he should go back to look for the senior, a hoarse voice finally sounded from inside the carriage. “Return.”

“What?”

Sun Ge was stunned. He mustered his courage and probed, “Senior, I was a little distracted just now and didn’t hear what you said clearly.”

“Return.”

The hoarse voice repeated, and Sun Ge’s expression immediately became strange.

“Senior, the thief who stole the saber is inside. Isn’t it… inappropriate for us to go back now?”

Sun Ge persuaded in a low voice, “His Majesty specially asked you to escort Black Shadow to the Iron City to exhibit it to the craftsmen. However, on the first day you arrived, Black Shadow was stolen by a thief. If we can’t find it and His Majesty blames us…”

“Are you teaching me how to do things?”

The person in the carriage asked coldly, his hoarse voice clearly filled with displeasure.

Sun Ge’s face turned pale. He hurriedly knelt on the ground and said, “I wouldn’t dare!”

The person in the carriage snorted and continued, “I used my divine sense to check just now. The other party has hidden his aura to the extreme and can’t be detected. However, that special internal energy fluctuation means that he’s at the critical stage of breaking through.”

“Breaking through?”

When Sun Ge heard this, his expression changed slightly, and his tone clearly became more urgent. “Then we have to act as soon as possible. Otherwise, when his strength increases, it will probably be very troublesome!”

“It’s fine!”

The person in the carriage sneered, his tone filled with confidence. “Last night, I already broke through to the seventh level of the Grandmaster Realm. Even if he’s given some time, dealing with him will still be a piece of cake!”

“Is that so?”

Sun Ge was overjoyed. “Senior, congratulations on your advancement!”

“It’s just a small advancement. There’s nothing to shout about.”

The person in the carriage said in a calm tone. Then, he changed the topic and asked in a low voice, “The problem now is, are you sure that person is the thief who stole the Black Shadow Saber?”

“Well…”

Sun Ge immediately became hesitant. Although he had a strong intuition that he was right, he did not have any concrete evidence.

After being silent for a while, Sun Ge replied in a low voice, “Senior, although I don’t have any evidence, he’s the only outsider in the city, so I believe he must have stolen the Black Shadow Saber!”

“Then that means you’re not sure.”

The person in the carriage sneered. After a pause, he asked, “Then do you know this person’s identity?”

At the mention of this, Sun Ge immediately perked up. “Senior! I’ve already asked someone to investigate. That person claims to be a businessman. His name is Huo Qiyun!”

As soon as he finished speaking, the originally calm carriage shook, and a suffocating killing intent swept out like a hurricane!

Sun Ge’s face instantly turned pale. However, before he could react, the strong killing intent suddenly disappeared without warning.

“What a coincidence! It saves me quite a lot of time looking for him”

The person in the carriage sneered. His hoarse voice was like two pieces of rusty metal rubbing against each other. Just listening to his voice made Sun Ge feel a chill run down his spine.

Sun Ge mustered his courage and probed, “From what you said… you seem to know Huo Qiyun?”

“No, I don’t.”

The person in the carriage denied, but the killing intent in his voice was stronger than before. “I’ll give you two hours to evacuate all the residents in this area… Your people are no exception!”

Sun Ge looked hesitant. “But…”

“Go quickly!”

Sun Dao was so frightened that he shrunk his neck and nodded before leaving dejectedly.

There was only a gorgeous carriage left on the street. Amidst the howling wind, one could vaguely hear a hoarse voice laughing sinisterly…

…

In a small room in the corner of the Ye family.

The surging sword intent rampaged in the room. When it scraped past the metal wall, it let out jarring sounds that made one’s scalp tingle.

Lin Ran sat cross-legged on the ground. His originally fair skin was red, and wisps of white fog rose from his head.

However, this scene only lasted for more than ten minutes before Lin Ran’s skin slowly returned to normal. Then, he slowly exhaled and opened his eyes. A dazzling cold light flashed across the depths of his eyes.

Lin Ran let out a low roar from his chest. Endless internal energy instantly surged out, and an incomparably powerful aura seeped out of his body. It was the seventh level of the Half-Saint Realm!

Feeling the majestic power in his body that was about to explode, Lin Ran couldn’t help but reveal a look of joy. He had been stuck at the sixth level of the Half-Saint Realm for a few months and had finally broken through!

If other martial artists heard this, they would be envious.

After all, Lin Ran had only used more than six years to reach the seventh level of the Half-Saint Realm.
