Chapter 145 – The Thief of Saints, Simon Picks the Stars

Senior Disciple Jin led Meng Fan out of the Scripture Pavilion and sat down on a stone bench under an old tree outside.

"What's wrong, Senior Disciple Jin?" Meng Fan also sat down on the stone bench, asking curiously.

"The clan has assigned another elder to take over the Scripture Pavilion. From now on, don't mention Elder Lin in the Scripture Pavilion to avoid unnecessary trouble," Senior Disciple Jin said expressionlessly.

This guy, as always, had a poker face. His lack of expression wasn't directed at Meng Fan specifically.

Meng Fan sighed upon hearing this.

But it was quite normal. The Scripture Pavilion needed an elder to guard it. Since Elder Wang had left, the clan would naturally send a new elder.

Judging by Senior Disciple Jin's reaction, it seemed that the new elder of the Scripture Pavilion didn't have a good relationship with Elder Wang.

When a wall falls, everyone pushes. That's reality.

If everyone suddenly claimed to have a good relationship with Elder Wang, that would be suspicious!

Meng Fan nodded and said, "I understand. But Senior Disciple Jin, do you have any news about Elder Wang?"

Senior Disciple Jin's expression remained unchanged as he said, "The Shu Mountain Sword Sect has already sent people from the Enforcement Hall to capture Elder Wang. But don't worry, those from the Enforcement Hall won't be able to find him. Even if they do, they won't be a match for him!"

In fact, Meng Fan didn't know that among the elders of the Shu Mountain Sword Sect, Elder Wang was considered one of the strongest.

Ordinary elders were no match for him at all.

"That's good to hear." Meng Fan breathed a sigh of relief.

Senior Disciple Jin looked at Meng Fan and, surprisingly, took the initiative to speak to him, "Have you broken through again?"

Under normal circumstances, it was always Meng Fan who initiated conversations, and Senior Disciple Jin would answer.

He rarely asked Meng Fan anything proactively.

There was a hint of surprise in his tone.

Because Meng Fan's progress was astonishingly fast. Anyone who paid attention would be amazed.

"Just a bit of luck," Meng Fan said casually.

Senior Disciple Jin glanced at Meng Fan, feeling a bit speechless.

Luck?

When he first met Meng Fan, Meng Fan had just entered the True Martial Realm.

In just a few short months, he had already reached the Heavenly Origin Realm.

But Senior Disciple Jin just said that Shu Mountain suffered a loss this time?

Did Li Fanchen come back and defeat the Sect Master?

In just a few days, how could he have such a drastic change?

Meng Fan's mind was filled with questions, and he couldn't figure it out!

Senior Disciple Jin shook his head, "Three days ago, someone did come to Shu Mountain, but it wasn't Li Fanchen."

"Then who was it?" Meng Fan asked.

"The world's number one thief, known as the Saint of Thieves, Ximen Zhaixing. This guy entered the Shu Mountain Sword Sect as if it were an unguarded place and stole the Blood Soul Sword from the Demon Locking Tower!" Senior Disciple Jin said with a complex and helpless tone.

Meng Fan was shocked upon hearing this.

The Blood Soul Sword was stolen?

This...

It sounded absurd!

Senior Disciple Jin continued, "If Ximen Zhaixing hadn't announced it himself, our Shu Mountain Sword Sect wouldn't have known he had been here, let alone that the Blood Soul Sword in the Demon Locking Tower had been stolen!"

After hearing Senior Disciple Jin's words, Meng Fan frowned deeply.

The Blood Soul Sword was stolen, and Shu Mountain didn't even know.

It was only discovered because Ximen Zhaixing announced it himself.

Truly, he came and went without a trace!

"Is Ximen Zhaixing really that terrifying?" Meng Fan asked incredulously.

With Sect Master Lin Jinghong guarding Shu Mountain, Ximen Zhaixing could come and go freely, stealing the Blood Soul Sword without being noticed. It was unbelievable!

"Ximen Zhaixing is known as the Saint of Thieves for a reason. He truly lives up to his title as the world's number one thief. If he sets his sights on something, there's nothing he can't steal!" Senior Disciple Jin said helplessly.

Meng Fan had seen Sect Master Lin Jinghong in action and knew how powerful he was.

For Ximen Zhaixing to steal the Blood Soul Sword right under the Sect Master's nose without being detected was truly astonishing.

It seemed there was nothing in the world that Ximen Zhaixing couldn't steal!

Meng Fan sighed.

"With such skills, he could have made a name for himself in the world. Why choose to be a thief?"
