Rise of the Sword Son-in-Law

Chapter 181: You are Xu Ping’an

"Besides the ’Heavenly Sword Manual,’ this sequence of inheritance actually includes the ’Heavenly Heart Treasure Record’ too," Xu Ping’an said to himself with excitement.

The Heavenly Heart Treasure Record was the strongest soul cultivation technique in the world and also an extremely powerful soul sword control technique.

Xu Ping’an had also practiced soul techniques in his previous life, but when compared to the Heavenly Heart Treasure Record, there was still a gap.

Now that he had the Heavenly Heart Treasure Record, it was natural to cultivate this technique, known as the ultimate method for soul cultivation.

Add the Heavenly Sword Manual to the mix, and it could be said that this inheritance had indeed brought him a bountiful harvest.

"What inheritance do you think he got?" Seeing the smile on Xu Ping’an’s face, everyone showed a look of envy.

"It must be some extremely remarkable inheritance; otherwise, it wouldn’t be above a Twelfth Rank cultivation technique," someone responded.

Everyone nodded, knowing without question that this sequence of inheritance was exceedingly extraordinary.

"Do you submit now?" Xu Ping’an said with a smile, looking towards Zhou Mengyue at his side.

The latter’s face was extremely embarrassed; she never expected that Situ Feng would truly obtain the sequence inheritance.

According to their agreement, she was now supposed to obey Xu Ping’an’s words completely.

She was supposed to be the future heir of the Hehuan Sect, and now she had to follow the orders of a minor Sect disciple; how could she willingly accept this?

Xu Ping’an chuckled without stopping, easily guessing that Zhou Mengyue wanted to go back on her word.

"Miss Zhou, are you going back on your word now?" Xu Ping’an asked with a smile.

"What do you want to do?" Zhou Mengyue’s eyes were sharp as she looked at Xu Ping’an, her gaze thick with a threatening intent.

Xu Ping’an sneered even more in his heart.

Zhou Mengyue was still Zhou Mengyue, after all; how could she obediently keep her promise?

"Actually, I don’t really want to do anything to Miss Zhou. Just slap yourself in front of everyone and say ’I am a wretch,’ and I won’t pursue the matter any further," Xu Ping’an said with a smile.

"You…" Zhou Mengyue immediately ground her teeth with rage.

To say such words face to face was undoubtedly a great disgrace.

This fellow in front of her just wanted to humiliate her.

"Situ Feng, don’t you think this is going too far?" Luo Bing immediately stood up and said.

"Right, how could you, Situ Feng, be so despicable and shameless?" Song Wen also angrily rebuked Xu Ping’an.

Many people around were discussing animatedly, not understanding why this ’Situ Feng’ was targeting Zhou Mengyue so much.

"How am I despicable and shameless? It was Miss Zhou herself who said that if I obtained the sequence inheritance, she would listen to everything I say. I’m just asking her to do a small thing; I’m not asking for her life," Xu Ping’an said with a light chuckle.

Zhou Mengyue’s eyes were filled with poisonous resentment.

"Young friend, are you trying to make an enemy of my Hehuan Sect?" The middle-aged beautiful woman who accompanied Zhou Mengyue finally spoke up.

"Of course, I have no intention of making an enemy of the Hehuan Sect. It’s just that I want Miss Zhou to pay a small price. Could it be that the Hehuan Sect can’t even afford that much generosity?" Xu Ping’an said with a smile.

"Humph, Zhou Mengyue is the Saintess of our Hehuan Sect. To humiliate her is to humiliate the Hehuan Sect," the middle-aged woman said.

Many people around also nodded, feeling that Xu Ping’an’s actions were a bit too much.

Xu Ping’an looked at the people around who were pointing fingers and talking, chuckling inwardly.

The time should be about right now; soon these people would probably start to take action.

From his observation just now, he found that the main forces involved this time were the Luo Family, the Xuantian Sword Sect, and the Imperial Spirit Sect.

Of course, the Imperial College and the Hehuan Sect also got involved, but they seemed to have sent fewer people; the main forces were still the Luo Family, the Imperial Spirit Sect, and the Xuantian Sword Sect.

At this moment, a large number of experts had already gathered outside the temple, according to Xu Ping’an’s perception.

There must be no fewer than fifty experts of the Fourth Rank, and probably more than a dozen at the Fifth Rank.

What was even more alarming was that, outside, he perceived the presence of two Sixth Rank experts.

Plus the people inside the temple, it could be said that the three major forces had indeed mobilized their full strength.

These people had been holding back from making a move, clearly wary of Shangguan Lingyu and Yu Xianlan.

After all, two Sixth Rank Experts were enough to influence the entire battle situation.

At this moment, Nangong Yuzhe had already returned, whispering something into Nangong Bo’s ear.

The latter’s expression was extremely grave and angry; obviously, they had also learned about the situation outside.

Xu Ping’an was also pondering how to deal with what was coming next.

These people would certainly not let him go, especially since he had acquired the Sequence Inheritance.

Moreover, having offended Zhou Mengyue, her protector would also be looking for trouble with him.

If faced with a Fourth Rank, it would be manageable, but if a Fifth Rank Expert were to come, he would have no power to resist.

"Situ Feng, my personal honor is trivial, but I must not damage the reputation of the Hehuan Sect. I cannot agree to your demands. This is a Fifth Rank Elixir, consider it my stake," Zhou Mengyue said with a face full of righteous indignation, directly throwing an elixir to Xu Ping’an.

Xu Ping’an caught the Elixir and immediately found it laughably absurd.

It was clearly her own reluctance, but she conveniently used the Hehuan Sect as a pretext.

The wager she proposed before changed in an instant—such was Zhou Mengyue.

"You think a Fifth Rank Elixir is enough to dismiss me?" Xu Ping’an said with a cold laugh.

"Situ Feng, don’t be too greedy. The fact that Junior Sister Zhou is kind enough to give you a Fifth Rank Elixir should be enough. If it were me, you would get nothing," Song Wen immediately bellowed.

Xu Ping’an glanced at Song Wen without a second look, causing the latter to fly into a rage.

This guy dared not to take him seriously.

"What do you want then?" Zhou Mengyue asked with a frown.

"It’s simple, just allow me to pull out your spine and toss it into the mass graves," Xu Ping’an said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Mengyue’s heart skipped a beat, and she looked at ’Situ Feng’ with a face full of surprise.

Xu Ping’an just lightly laughed, his eyes filled with amusement.

He knew Zhou Mengyue had begun to suspect him.

But he was not afraid of being exposed, because once they started fighting, his identity would inevitably be revealed.

Thus, there was no longer a need for Xu Ping’an to continue hiding.

"Zhou Mengyue, how is it? Just a few months not seen and you don’t recognize your husband?" Xu Ping’an said with a smile.

Upon hearing these words, Zhou Mengyue’s pupils suddenly constricted, her face unbelieving as she stared at Xu Ping’an.

Many people around were puzzled.

Zhou Mengyue and Situ Feng were husband and wife?

Luo Bing and Song Wen were both dumbfounded.

Their first reaction was that Situ Feng was lying, but Zhou Mengyue’s expression made them unsure.

Even the middle-aged beautiful woman had a grave look on her face.

"You... You are not Situ Feng; you are Xu Ping’an," Zhou Mengyue said with a face full of horror, her gaze towards Xu Ping’an filled with intense fear.

She could have never imagined that she would encounter Xu Ping’an here.

And that Xu Ping’an had been right in front of her all along, yet she failed to recognize him.

Now she finally understood why ’Situ Feng’ had always been against her.

Because only Xu Ping’an could hate her so deeply.

"Xu Ping’an? Who is that?" Many people were still utterly confused.

However, the people from the Nangong Family were visibly shocked.

Of course, the ones most excited present were naturally Shangguan Lingyu and Wu Tianjian.

Shangguan Lingyu could never have guessed that the Situ Feng before her was the Xu Ping’an she was searching for.
