Rise of the Sword Son-in-Law

Chapter 159: The Lei Family’s Daughter

"The Sealing Ground is just ahead,"

Lei Shi’s voice echoed in Xu Ping’an’s mind.

Xu Ping’an had already arrived at the deepest part of the Lei Family mansion, a colossal underground chamber beneath the ancestral shrine of the Lei Family.

The space inside the underground chamber was vast, at least a thousand square meters.

And within this chamber, there was an enormous Formation.

At this moment, several cracks had appeared on the Formation, from which a terribly malevolent aura was emanating.

"Is this the Formation Pattern that seals these malevolent beings?" Xu Ping’an looked at the dense Formation Patterns on the ground, his eyes revealing a hint of surprise.

"Correct, this is an Eighth Rank Formation Pattern. In fact, there are nine levels of space underground, each sealing an incredibly terrifying malevolent being. The deeper one goes, the stronger the Formation Patterns become," Lei Shi said.

Xu Ping’an nodded.

An Eighth Rank Formation should have been more than adequate to seal a Seventh Rank malevolent being.

But it was not clear why cracks had suddenly appeared.

If no one had sabotaged it, even several thousand or tens of thousands of years would not bring issues to this Formation.

Therefore, there must have been something that happened to the Lei Family this time.

It’s a pity all members of the Lei Family are dead.

If there were still survivors, perhaps he could have asked them.

"Enough of this, I’ll start with the Repair Formation first, it would be troublesome if that Six-Eyed Rakshasa splits off another Remnant Soul," Xu Ping’an murmured to himself.

He then took out the Daoist Manual from the Thunder Brilliance Ring.

As the Daoist Manual appeared, an immense oppressive force surged forth.

"Human, as long as you release me, I can give you everything you desire," however, just as Xu Ping’an was about to stimulate the Daoist Manual to repair the Formation

The voice of the Six-Eyed Rakshasa suddenly resonated within Xu Ping’an’s mind.

"Everything I desire? I’m afraid I’ll have to disappoint you, what I want is something you can’t afford," Xu Ping’an replied with a cold snicker.

Could a Seventh Rank malevolent being bewitch him, a former Twelfth Rank Immortal Emperor from a past life?

"Human, you cannot seal me, great calamities await the Human Realm, everyone shall die. If you spare me, I can offer you a chance to live. Otherwise, once I break free, I will smash your body into ten thousand pieces," threatened the Six-Eyed Rakshasa, after failing to tempt him.

"Great calamities in the Human Realm?" Xu Ping’an scoffed.

Even if the Human Realm truly faced such a disaster, he would not submit to a Seventh Rank malevolent being.

"Well, let’s talk about that when you can escape," Xu Ping’an unhesitatingly integrated the Daoist Manual into the Formation Pattern.

As the Daoist Manual merged, the cracks in the Formation began to repair themselves instantly.

"No... no, humans, you will all die, the Mortal Realm, including the Four Great Spirit Realms, will soon be under the control of the great Dark Demon God. Your death is near, ha ha," the Six-Eyed Rakshasa roared ferociously.

Xu Ping’an’s brow furrowed slightly.

Dark Demon God?

He seemed to have never heard of this Dark Demon God before.

"Lei Shi, have you heard of the Dark Demon God?" Xu Ping’an asked.

"It seems familiar; legend speaks of an extremely powerful Evil God, but that’s just myth. Are there really divine beings in the world?" Lei Shi responded.

"Divine beings? Beings above the Immortal Emperor, right?" Xu Ping’an did not respond.

He still believed in the existence of divine beings.

Something must have happened in the Divine Realm, causing it to become completely isolated from the Spirit Realm.

Also, what exactly happened to those Immortal Emperors of history? That remained a mystery.

It was just unfortunate that in his previous life as an Immortal Emperor, he did not have enough time to seek out these secrets before he was harmed by Ling Qingyao.

"Enough of that, now is not the time to delve into these matters. I should leave this place first; it would be problematic if Shangguan Lingyu and the others block my path," Xu Ping’an said to himself.

Now that the Lei Family’s affairs had settled, it was time to leave.

"Who’s there?"

However, just as Xu Ping’an was about to leave, he suddenly turned his head towards the depths of the underground chamber.

There was nothing but darkness, seemingly void of anything.

"If you don’t come out now, don’t blame me for being impolite," Xu Ping’an immediately threatened.

Just a moment ago, he had perceived a slight vibration in the air.

In a sealed secret room, the appearance of such a subtle vibration clearly indicated someone was hiding there.

However, Xu Ping’an’s words fell on deaf ears, eliciting no response.

"Come out now, or I’m going to make a move," Xu Ping’an warned sternly.

The next moment, he directly took out the Sunrise Sword, ready to act.

"Don’t attack, I’m coming out."

Just then, a childish voice rang out.

Following that, a girl who looked like a porcelain doll appeared in front of Xu Ping’an.

The girl was very beautiful, exuding a kind of ethereal charm and cuteness.

Especially striking were the girl’s eyes, which were a deep blue, shimmering like sapphire stars.

"The Indestructible Star Body?" Xu Ping’an asked somewhat surprised.

The young girl’s blue pupils were indeed characteristic of an Indestructible Star Physique, a Second Rank physique.

This physique was formidable, considered one of the top among Second Rank physiques.

"Indeed, it is the Indestructible Star Body, and it even has Thunder Attributes," Lei Shi said excitedly.

Xu Ping’an naturally understood what Lei Shi was thinking and looked at the girl to ask, "Are you from the Lei Family?"

The girl looked somewhat nervous and hesitated before nodding her head, "My father is the current head of the Lei Family, but they are all dead…"

As the girl spoke, a deep pain and sadness flickered in her eyes.

Xu Ping’an was somewhat astonished; someone from the Lei Family was actually still alive.

The girl in front of him seemed to be about fifteen years old, even younger than himself.

Her cultivation was not high, but not low either.

She had reached the Seventh Layer of the Second Rank.

"This is great, there is still someone alive from my Lei Family, and she possesses the Indestructible Star Body," Lei Shi was incredibly thrilled.

"Kid, you must protect her for me. If you can keep her safe, I owe you a huge favor. You absolutely cannot let those from the Heavenly Spirit Realm take her to the Upper Realm," Lei Shi continued.

Once Shangguan Lingyu and the others found the girl before them, they would surely take her away.

"How can I protect her? I can’t keep her by my side all the time, can I?" Xu Ping’an asked through a frown, telepathically.

"So what if you do? Or perhaps let her become your wife? Look, this little girl is also quite beautiful," Lei Shi teased with a laugh.

Xu Ping’an rolled his eyes and ignored Lei Shi.

He turned to the girl and asked, "What is your name?"

"My name is Lei Qianqian. Big brother, was it you who repaired the seal?" Lei Qianqian asked.

"Yes, you saw it just now. Now that the crisis of the Lei Family has been resolved, are you the only one left in the Lei Family?" Xu Ping’an questioned.

"Yes, I am the only one left in the Lei Family now. My father was killed by the Six-Eyed Rakshasa, and everyone else in the clan is dead," Lei Qianqian said with a sense of loss.

"What are your plans now?" Xu Ping’an asked.

Lei Qianqian shook her head, looking bewildered.

"How about this, for now, you follow me. My name is Xu Ping’an. Starting today, I will teach you cultivation techniques and training. When you have enough strength or have other ideas, then you can decide what to do next," Xu Ping’an suggested.

"Really? Can I really follow you? Brother Ping’an?" The girl immediately became excited.

She had been hiding here for three days.

In those three days, she felt endless loneliness and fear.

Now, hearing that Xu Ping’an was willing to take her in, she was naturally overjoyed.

"Yes, come with me!" Xu Ping’an said.

"Okay!" The girl immediately responded.

She then followed Xu Ping’an and left together.
