Rise of the Sword Son-in-Law

Chapter 222 Good Stuff

"So you were after the Sensing Conch," Mo Ya said with a smile. "You might be disappointed to know that I have already mastered it. When I am eliminated, the Sensing Conch will be transmitted out as well, so you won’t be able to get your hands on it."

"So that’s why you’re still able to talk to me here," Ping’an said with a smile.

"Hmph, you either kill me or let me go. As for the Sensing Conch, I won’t tell you anything about it. Even if you knew, it’d be useless," Mo Ya said with a cold snort.

"Your mouth is pretty tough. Do you think I have no other means if you don’t talk?" Xu Ping’an chuckled.

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Ping’an pressed his palm against Mo Ya’s abdomen, his hand bursting with a powerful suction.

A stream of True Yuan was directly drawn out by the suction of Xu Ping’an’s palm and began flowing out.

"What are you doing?" Mo Ya exclaimed in shock.

If his own True Yuan could be drawn out by the opponent, it meant the opponent’s Cultivation Technique was more powerful than his.

Although the Cultivation Technique he practiced was not extremely powerful, it was an Earth Rank spirit decision.

Doesn’t that mean the opponent’s technique is at least Heaven Rank?

Xu Ping’an, however, paid no heed to Mo Ya’s astonishment. He extracted Mo Ya’s True Yuan and injected it into the Sensing Conch he held in his hand.

The next moment, the Jade Conch trembled slightly.

Afterward, the Jade Conch seemed to emit an invisible fluctuation.

This fluctuation was extremely subtle; if it wasn’t for the strength of Xu Ping’an’s soul and his personal investigation, he would not have been able to sense it at all.

And this fluctuation spread out in all directions with the Jade Conch at its center.

Ten miles, a hundred miles, three hundred miles.

The fluctuation disappeared only after reaching five hundred miles.

As the wave spread, Xu Ping’an also felt the Jade Conch in his hand vibrating three times.

Specifically, at a place a hundred miles to the east, a place a hundred and fifty miles to the west, and a place three hundred and sixty miles to the north.

"This is interesting," Xu Ping’an exclaimed in surprise.

He understood that the Jade Conch had detected his position using this method.

In other words, the Jade Conch emitted an invisible wave, creating an invisible spider web.

Anyone within a five-hundred-mile radius who was inside the web could be sensed.

"This little thing is quite convenient, interesting," Xu Ping’an said with a laugh.

However, there were only three within a five-hundred-mile range. Could that be too few?

At this moment, Mo Ya’s face was extremely embarrassed; the man in front of him had discovered the secret of the Sensing Conch.

"Can the Sensing Conch detect everyone within five hundred miles, or are there any limitations?" Xu Ping’an asked Mo Ya.

Mo Ya clenched his teeth tightly, staying silent.

"Do you think it’ll help if you don’t talk? If I’m not mistaken, this Jade Conch can only sense people within a five-hundred-mile radius whose True Yuan fluctuation is weaker than yours, right?" Xu Ping’an said with a smile.

Mo Ya’s face grew even uglier.

Xu Ping’an laughed, knowing he had guessed correctly.

It could only sense those weaker than him. He had been detected before because his Cultivation was only at the Sixth Layer, and a part of the True Yuan in his body had not been transformed, which was why he was sensed.

That’s why Mo Ya had come looking for him.

Pity that the device could only be activated with Mo Ya’s True Yuan.

Xu Ping’an thought for a moment, and then, with an idea, a wad of True Yuan appeared in his hand.

The pulse of this True Yuan was very similar to that of Mo Ya’s.

Mo Ya’s eyes went wide. How did he do that?

He certainly didn’t know his Cultivation Technique, so how could he mimic the fluctuation of his True Yuan?

It is known that the fluctuation of True Yuan is different for each Cultivation Technique, and even for the same technique, it is difficult to be similar.

But for Xu Ping’an, this was no challenge at all.

With a slight adjustment, the True Yuan in his hand was now indistinguishable from Mo Ya’s prior True Yuan.

"You... how is this possible?" Mo Ya gasped in shock.

If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, he would be completely convinced it was his True Yuan.

"It’s good that you’re of the Thunder Attribute, otherwise I really wouldn’t be able to mimic it," Xu Ping’an said, grinning.

The Technique of Changing Heaven and Earth wasn’t just about altering appearances, it naturally could change True Yuan as well.

At this moment, Xu Ping’an had refined the cultivation technique to perfection, so there was no problem in imitating Mo Ya’s True Yuan.

Xu Ping’an gave it a try and, indeed, he could activate the Jade Conch, which delighted him.

However, Mo Ya still couldn’t be killed, for if he were slain, the Jade Conch would disappear as well.

"Hmph, you are at the Fourth Rank Sixth Layer, how many people can you sense?" Mo Ya snorted coldly.

He felt that Xu Ping’an’s efforts were superfluous, and it would be better to use his own True Yuan.

Xu Ping’an, however, paid him no heed and instead channeled the True Yuan, transformed by the anomaly, into the Jade Conch.

The next moment, the Jade Conch erupted with an even stronger fluctuation.

Mo Ya was shocked by the strength of the fluctuation, which was at least comparable to a Fifth Rank Third Layer.

This guy... His true strength is at the Fifth Rank Third Layer?

Xu Ping’an paid no attention to him as he had already sensed the number of people in the vicinity.

A total of seventy-two, all below the Fifth Rank Third Layer, seventy-two people.

His perception range had also expanded to a thousand li.

The next moment, Xu Ping’an instantly vanished from the spot.

It wasn’t long before Xu Ping’an returned, and the number of people on his palm had changed to four.

He had killed one?

Mo Ya was astonished at the speed!

Although he did not know the cultivation level of the slain, it was certainly more than Fourth Rank Eighth Layer; otherwise, he wouldn’t have failed to detect the presence before.

Xu Ping’an’s swift kill meant the target must have been nearby.

At that moment, Xu Ping’an was deep in thought.

Indeed, he had just gone three li away and killed someone at the Fourth Rank Ninth Layer.

Three li wasn’t far for him, only requiring the time it takes to take three breaths.

And his departure was to verify whether the sensing ability of the Jade Conch was genuine.

The result was as expected.

It was indeed a good treasure, but he was still not satisfied.

Even with the Jade Conch, he still had to seek out each one, and by the time he got there, the target might have already left.

Over hundreds of li, even if he rushed over, the target could have long since fled.

Xu Ping’an estimated that the secret realm was approximately eight thousand li in diameter.

Even if Xu Ping’an wanted to traverse the entire map, it would take ten days.

The secret realm was simply too vast.

Suddenly, Xu Ping’an seemed to think of something and continued, "Under what circumstances can others feel this fluctuation?"

"This Jade Conch is a strange artifact. Even Sixth Rank Peak practitioners can’t feel its fluctuation," Mo Ya huffed lightly.

Xu Ping’an frowned.

"But don’t be too pleased with yourself. There is a situation in which others can indeed detect this fluctuation, so you’re bound to die sooner or later," Mo Ya said with a light laugh.

"What situation?" Xu Ping’an asked hastily.

"Even if I tell you, it’s no use. You can’t activate it. If the Sensing Conch is used more than ten times within three days, it cannot be used again; if it is, everyone within the range of fluctuation will sense your presence. I have already used it seven times before, and you’ve just used it three times. So, you cannot employ the Jade Conch within the next three days, hahaha," Mo Ya laughed heartily.

Xu Ping’an’s eyes lit up.

"You mean if I activate it now, everyone will know I’m probing?" Xu Ping’an asked.

"Yes, so even if you’ve obtained the Jade Conch, it’s useless," Mo Ya was extremely smug.

Xu Ping’an, however, started to chuckle.

That’s great!

This way, he didn’t have to look for them one by one; as long as True Yuan was input into the device, those nearby would sense it, and then they would surely want to come and kill him.

Hadn’t this thing become a big loudspeaker, allowing him to just wait for people to come to him?

Wasn’t this just fishing?

Seeing Xu Ping’an with an evil grin, Mo Ya suddenly had a bad feeling.

Why was this man so pleased?

Suddenly, Xu Ping’an looked at Mo Ya, and that glance instantly gave Mo Ya the creeps.
