Rise of the Sword Son-in-Law

Chapter 150: Fate Plays with People

```

Xu Ping’an stared intently at the two individuals, especially the woman.

For some reason, he felt a familiar aura emanating from this young woman.

Moreover, the two people before him were very powerful.

They both looked to be just over twenty years of age.

The man’s cultivation had already reached the peak of the Fifth Rank Ninth Layer, while the woman’s was even more terrifying, having attained the Sixth Rank Seventh Layer.

Such strength was much more frightening than Li Xuanqing, whom he had encountered before.

This made Xu Ping’an even more certain that these two individuals came from the Spirit Realm, and they were definitely not ordinary talents there.

Additionally, he felt that the woman’s physique was also extremely extraordinary, undoubtedly of the first tier.

…

"We pay our respects to the Heavenly Spirit Realm’s Saintess and Sir Wu; our home is humble, and we ask for your forgiveness for any shortcomings," Chen Wentian said respectfully.

"Commandery Prince Chen, there is no need for etiquette. Such conditions are not something an ordinary person in the Spirit Realm would possess," the young man said with a smile.

The woman coldly sipped her tea, with no response.

"Sir Wu jests. You are people of the Heavenly Spirit Realm’s Immortal Emperor Palace; how could you be compared with ordinary people of the Spirit Realm?" Chen Wentian said with a laugh.

The young man gave a faint smile, showing an expression of pride.

He was very satisfied with Chen Wentian’s respectful attitude.

However, Xu Ping’an was startled.

The Heavenly Spirit Realm’s Immortal Emperor Palace?

Didn’t that mean that these two individuals were Ling Qingyao’s people?

And just now, that woman was referred to as the Saintess.

In the Immortal Emperor Palace, the only ones who could be called a Saintess were certain kinds of people.

That would be the disciples of the Immortal Emperor!

In the past, the Saintess of the Heavenly Spirit Realm’s Immortal Emperor Palace was Ling Qingyao, who later became the Immortal Empress after Xu Ping’an married her, changing her status from Saintess.

Now, unexpectedly, this woman turned out to be the Heavenly Spirit Realm’s Saintess.

Then this woman’s identity was mostly likely Ling Qingyao’s disciple.

"Who would have thought I’d come across Ling Qingyao’s disciple here? Fate indeed plays with people," Xu Ping’an sneered.

However, he was also curious, what was Ling Qingyao’s disciple doing in the Mortal Realm?

And the Great Qin Immortal Dynasty was certainly not a power supported by the Heavenly Spirit Realm; the realm supporting the dynasty was the Jade Spirit Realm.

"Ling Qingyao is ambitious. Could it be she wants to unify the Four Great Spirit Realms?" Xu Ping’an murmured to himself.

He understood Ling Qingyao all too well.

She was the girl he watched grow up, the one he had cultivated with his own hands.

They had also been a couple sharing the same bed for over a hundred years.

If anyone in this world knew the Heavenly Spirit Realm’s female Immortal Emperor best, it would only be Xu Ping’an.

With these thoughts, Xu Ping’an listened even more attentively.

"Commandery Prince, how is the task you were entrusted with progressing? Have you found the remnants of Western Chu?" the young man previously addressed as Sir Wu restrained his prior smile and responded.

Upon hearing the young man’s words, Chen Wentian’s face changed abruptly as he hurriedly replied, "To report to Sir Wu, we have found the person. However, this individual stays within the Demon-Suppressing Tower of the Beichen Sword Sect year-round, guarded by the Demon-suppressing Sword Formation. No one below the Seventh Rank can withstand it, and we have no way of breaching it."

"Isn’t there another way? Can’t you find a way to draw him out?" Wu Tianjian asked, frowning.

A Seventh Rank sword formation—in such a remote location, he had not expected to encounter such a formidable sword array.

"There is one. This individual is known as Yu Chenjian; he has a younger sister named Yu Xin, who is merely Fourth Rank. Recently, we sent people to capture Yu Xin, hoping to use her as leverage to coerce Yu Chenjian into coming out. Yet unexpectedly, the matter was disrupted by a lad named Xu Ping’an," replied Chen Wentian hastily.

```

"Trash!" Wu Tianjian immediately cursed.

The woman beside him flashed a hint of cold light in her eyes.

"What about the matter of releasing the evil demon’s seal?" Wu Tianjian asked.

"That matter was about to be a success, but unfortunately, out of nowhere, several powerhouses from Heaven Beyond Heavens appeared and repressed the evil demon," Chen Wentian replied with trepidation.

Wu Tianjian was immediately enraged, "The Immortal Emperor tasked you with two things, yet you managed to fail both."

"My lord, please calm your anger. I am already devising a new plan to capture Yu Xin and force Yu Chenjian to hand over the item required by the Immortal Emperor," Chen Wentian said urgently.

Wu Tianjian snorted coldly, his gaze icy and without reply.

Xu Ping’an in the shadows was somewhat taken aback.

He had not expected that both the matter of breaking the demon’s seal and the incident involving Yu Xin were related to Ling Qingyao.

Although he didn’t know what item Yu Chenjian held, he knew that it was related to the Western Chu Sword Emperor of the Great Qin Immortal Dynasty.

The Western Chu Sword Emperor, at the Ninth Layer of the Emperor Body Realm, a sovereign of the previous dynasty.

An item belonging to a Ninth Layer Cultivator could actually pique Ling Qingyao’s interest?

Just then, the previously silent woman finally spoke.

"Let this matter rest for now. We’ve descended to the Lower Realm this time to complete another, more important task. This issue is of great significance and will be your opportunity to redeem yourself. If you fail again, I will carry out the execution on behalf of the Immortal Emperor. Do not forget that everything you have was given by the Immortal Emperor," the extremely beautiful and arrogant woman said.

"Yes, Saintess, I will give it my all to redeem myself. Please enlighten me, what is this matter?" Chen Wentian asked with a fearful heart.

"Rumors claim that in the Mortal Realm, there are seven major families with the Seven Major Attributes—they are said to have been inherited from over two thousand years ago. Each family represents one of the seven attributes, and the bloodlines of these families possess special Bloodline Powers. Does the Commandery Prince know of this?" the Saintess said.

"I have heard bits and pieces. However, rumors suggest that these seven major families faded into obscurity over seven hundred years ago. Does the Immortal Emperor seek out the descendants of these seven families?" the Saintess inquired.

"Correct, not only do you need to find the descendants of the seven Attribute Families, but you must also find their Inheritance Rings. If you can do that, your merit will be immeasurable. The Immortal Emperor might even permit your entry into the Heavenly Spirit Realm to cultivate and help you break through to the Sixth or even Seventh Rank of the Heavenly Human Realm. The Heavenly Human Realm allows you to have a lifespan of a thousand years," the woman explained with indifference.

"The Heavenly Human Realm, a thousand-year lifespan?" Chen Wentian’s eyes suddenly lit up.

"I will not hesitate even in the face of death," Chen Wentian said, stirred with excitement.

Xu Ping’an was once again surprised.

What does Ling Qingyao need with the Attribute Rings?

She should already have the Wind Brilliance Ring, right?

Back in the day, Xu Ping’an did not hide anything from Ling Qingyao and told her all about the secret of the Wind Brilliance Ring.

Could it be that Ling Qingyao is aware that there are a total of seven rings?

But why would Ling Qingyao, with only a Wind Attribute body, want rings of other attributes?

Or is there some other secret to these Attribute Rings that he doesn’t know?

"Commandery Prince Chen, throughout your years in Tianlong County, have you noticed any individuals with special constitutions?" the Saintess asked.

"Special constitutions? There is indeed one, a sixteen-year-old youth named Xu Ping’an. Not only does he possess the Chaotic Thunder Tyrant Body, but he also has the Heaven and Earth Myriad Yellow Body," Chen Wentian said immediately.

"Chaotic Thunder Tyrant Body, Heaven and Earth Myriad Yellow Body? Two top-tier constitutions?" Both the Saintess and Wu Tianjian were startled.

Two special top-tier constitutions?

Could such an incredible talent truly exist in the Mortal Realm?

This person could very well be the one they were looking for.

"Where is this person?" Wu Tianjian quickly asked.

"He was previously a disciple of the Beichen Sword Sect. I must be honest, he is also my sworn enemy for killing my child. I had people watch him closely before, but just a month ago, he suddenly disappeared from the Beichen Sword Sect. He likely has left, and his current whereabouts are unknown, but I will spare no effort to find him," Chen Wentian said through gritted teeth.

Hearing this, the woman said nothing but silently took note of the name.

"Commandery Prince Chen, keep a close watch on this Xu Ping’an. As soon as you have news, immediately report to me. I see the Tianlong Army is conducting a citywide search; what has happened?" the woman inquired.

Upon hearing this, Chen Wentian’s eyes grew colder once more.
