Rise of the Sword Son-in-Law

Chapter 307: The Mysterious Fatty

Snow King.

An existence that stirred the Great Qin Empire.

It was said that the Snow King was not only of stunning beauty but also a heroine no less valiant than any man.

The Snow King had once led troops and with a hundred thousand men, defeated the Earth Spirit Immortal Dynasty’s army of three hundred thousand.

In the midst of battle, the Snow King also slew three Seventh Rank Experts of the opposing side.

It was that very battle that bestowed upon her the title of Snow King, and at that time, she was only twenty-four years old.

It was said that the Snow King reached the Seventh Layer when she was merely twenty years old; truly, she was an unparalleled genius.

Now at thirty-two, the Snow King’s strength had already attained the Eighth Rank Peak.

Such a rapid increase in power amazed everyone.

Xu Ping’an had also learned of some of the Snow King’s exploits previously and had been quite surprised.

The talent of the Snow King must be extremely formidable, otherwise, it would not have been possible to advance so significantly in such a short time.

After all, this was in the Mortal Realm where the spirit energy was thin, and even in the Spirit Realm, she would be a top-tier genius.

Thus, the Snow King had always been a legend in the Great Qin Immortal Dynasty.

Now, upon seeing the Snow King, Xu Ping’an felt that she seemed even stronger than he had imagined.

"Chaotic Ice-cold Body?" Xu Ping’an muttered to himself, astonished.

Indeed, the Snow King also had a special body constitution, and moreover, it was of the first rank.

This was somewhat beyond Xu Ping’an’s expectations.

"This human is very strong," said the Savage Ape King, who could not help but speak with solemnity despite his usual pride.

Xu Ping’an nodded.

The Snow King’s strength was likely not inferior to the Savage Ape King’s.

With the appearance of the Snow King, she immediately attracted the attention of many around her.

Even the elders from the Crimson King’s Mansion and the middle-aged men from Yuheng Heaven were looking on with gravity.

However, the Snow King maintained a proud and aloof demeanor, paying no heed to the gazes of the crowd.

"Senior Sister, should we go over there?" Li Shuangshuang asked.

She didn’t want to stay near the Savage Ape King.

Song Yan hesitated for a moment and refused, "No, if we go out now, we might reveal the presence of Xu Ping’an and the others."

Hearing this, Li Shuangshuang stuck out her tongue in disappointment.

Xu Ping’an turned to Song Yan in surprise and asked, "You know the Snow King?"

"Of course, I do. My senior sister happens to be the Snow King’s sister," Li Shuangshuang declared with pride.

Xu Ping’an was taken aback. Song Yan was the Snow King’s sister?

"Cousin!" Song Yan corrected.

Realizing the relation between Song Yan and the Snow King, Xu Ping’an nodded in understanding.

Li Xuanqing and Qin Yu were also somewhat astonished.

They had not expected Song Yan to have such a background.

With this, they had gained another extremely mighty ally, increasing their chances of seizing the treasure.

Of course, that was provided the Savage Ape King did not betray them.

"So the Snow King’s surname is Song as well?" Xu Ping’an asked curiously.

"Yes, my sister’s name is Song Xue," Song Yan responded.

Xu Ping’an took note of the name.

Many knew of the Snow King in the outside world, but her true name was unknown to them.

It showed just how mysterious the Snow King was.

"Someone else is coming," Li Shuangshuang said.

Seven people were seen rapidly approaching from the front.

"It’s the people from the Mysterious Sword Sect, and they’ve actually brought two Eighth Rank Strongmen?" Li Xuanqing said in surprise.

Xu Ping’an also looked towards the seven people.

The two leading elders both exuded strong auras, though not as formidable as the Snow King’s.

What surprised Xu Ping’an was that the two shared a striking resemblance to each other, with the only difference lying in their hair; one had black hair, while the other had white.

"One at the Eighth Layer Seventh Rank and the other at the Eighth Layer Sixth Rank, these twin brothers are known as the Yin Yang Elders," Li Xuanqing explained.

"The Yin and Yang Elders? Do they possess some kind of combined combat techniques?" Xu Ping’an asked.

"Yes, they know a soul-based combat technique called the Yin Yang Heavenly Wheel. When executed with full power, it can rival an Eighth Rank Peak strongman," Li Xuanqing said.

Xu Ping’an nodded.

Powerhouses like these typically master such combined combat techniques.

But he had not expected the other party to have mastered a soul-based combined combat technique.

That was even more terrifying.

"Eh, that plump fellow has come as well," Qin Yu suddenly exclaimed in surprise.

Xu Ping’an looked towards a plump young man standing behind the two elderly men.

This plump fellow was not a Seventh Rank expert but had the cultivation of a Sixth Rank Peak.

However, Xu Nian could see that this plump fellow’s status was not low.

And on him, Xu Ping’an seemed to sense a dangerous aura.

Suddenly, as if perceiving something, the plump fellow glanced over in surprise.

And at that instant, the character for "ominous" in Xu Ping’an’s mind violently pulsed.

"Eh?" the plump fellow let out a light sound of surprise.

"What’s wrong?" the Yin Elder, one of the Yin and Yang Elders, asked.

"Nothing, just spotted an interesting monkey," the plump fellow said with a smile.

The Yin Elder did not pay much attention to this as it was the Heavenly Star Wasteland, where monkeys were quite normal.

And the plump fellow did not explain further, merely pondering something before soon breaking out into a smile, clicking his tongue and saying, "Interesting."

At that moment, Xu Ping’an’s brows were tightly furrowed.

He knew they had been discovered.

Not just him, but even the Savage Ape King had been exposed.

"Is this Shaoyang Heaven very strong?" Xu Ping’an asked.

"Very strong. It’s among the stronger ones in the upper thirty-six layers of Heaven Beyond Heavens, and this plump fellow is the beloved only grandson of the Heavenly Master of Shaoyang Heaven," Li Xuanqing replied.

Xu Ping’an was momentarily at a loss for words.

The epitome of a second-generation powerhouse.

Though this plump fellow’s cultivation wasn’t great, he surely possessed numerous treasures.

And the dangerous sensation Xu Ping’an felt just now must have come from one of those treasures, allowing him to detect their presence.

"Xu Ping’an, it’s best if you don’t provoke this plump fellow. He’s very cunning and loves to play the role of a pig to eat the tiger. You wouldn’t believe how many people he’s tricked," Qin Yu hastily said.

Play the role of a pig to eat the tiger?

Xu Ping’an couldn’t help but laugh.

Wasn’t that his favorite thing to do?

It seemed this plump fellow was not as simple as he appeared.

Xu Ping’an fell into contemplation.

The last smile of the plump fellow likely revealed that he had seen through their plan.

However, it wasn’t as if they had no chance left.

This plump fellow did not choose to expose them, which meant he probably had other plans in mind.

Soon after, three more forces arrived.

One was from the Great Qin Immortal Dynasty’s Mysterious Sword Sect, one Eighth Layer Fourth Rank, four Seventh Rank.

Next came the Third Prince of the Great Qin Immortal Dynasty, one Eighth Layer Fifth Rank, three Seventh Rank.

The last to arrive were from Shaoyang Heaven, one Eighth Layer Eighth Realm, seven Seventh Rank.

Aside from these people, many Loose Cultivators also arrived, but Seventh Rank ones were rare among them, with most being Sixth Rank.

In just half a day’s time, the area outside the Dragon Valley had gathered upwards of a hundred people.

Xu Ping’an and his group did not hide in the shadows but instead walked out into the open.

At this time, hiding could easily make them targets if discovered.

As for the Savage Ape King, it concealed its aura, appearing like an ordinary Fourth Rank Demon Beast.

A creature like that wouldn’t catch many people’s attention.

Nevertheless, Li Xuanqing and Qin Yu still drew some gazes.
