Rise of the Sword Son-in-Law

Chapter 320: Not Giving You a Single Drop

"Huh, this guy actually got blasted out?" Qin Yu said, surprised.

"It seems he didn’t have an easy time either, and encountered some trouble," Song Yan also added.

Li Xuanqing and the others all looked towards another great hall, each showing a curious expression.

Xie Fengyun and Qin Yu did not leave either, their brows slightly furrowed at this moment.

Could it be that there are no treasures inside this last great hall?

"Damn it, there’s nothing in this hall, just two high-rank puppets, we couldn’t beat at all," Xue Hu muttered, cursing.

"High-rank puppets? So that’s what blasted him out," Li Shuangshuang suddenly realized.

Xu Ping’an was also somewhat surprised, there were actually high-rank puppets here?

Such items were in themselves good things, but without seventh-rank soul power, it was impossible to gain control over them.

As for Xue Hu’s claim that there was nothing, Xu Ping’an didn’t believe it.

Naturally, neither did the others.

"It seems that the Tianlong Marrow and Tianlong fruit tree aren’t in this great hall. Could there be other places here?" Xu Ping’an asked doubtfully.

"It’s not clear, the information that the cultivator from Shaoyang Heaven obtained did include these, and he probably didn’t enter through the valley entrance. There should be some other place," Li Xuanqing analyzed.

Xu Ping’an nodded.

He also felt it was very likely that there was some place they hadn’t discovered.

"Senior Cang Xue, could there be other hidden places in this valley?" Xu Ping’an hurriedly asked the lady in the painting.

"Hidden places? There really is one. Inside the mountain behind you, there’s a cave, and its entrance is covered by a formation. That is where that person truly practiced his cultivation," Cang Xue replied.

Upon hearing this, Xu Ping’an was immediately overjoyed.

The cultivator’s place of practice?

Then the Tianlong Marrow must be there.

Thinking this, Xu Ping’an couldn’t help but look towards the entrance of the valley.

At this moment, the battle of the eighth-rank strongmen was still ongoing.

However, the situation had already changed.

Wu Gou from Yuheng Heaven was beaten to the point of spitting blood and seriously injured by the Snow King. Seeing Zhao Qiming leaving the valley, he didn’t linger any longer and directly left this place.

On the other side, seeing that Xu Ping’an had been inside for quite a while without any movement, the Savage Ape King seemed to be getting anxious as well.

The eighth-rank cultivators involved in the fight were being pushed back step by step, occasionally glancing towards the direction of the valley.

"It seems the Savage Ape King is beginning to have doubts, we have to hurry," Xu Ping’an muttered to himself.

He then proceeded to question the lady in the painting.

"Senior Cang Xue, do you know where the entrance to the cave is?" Xu Ping’an looked around but did not discover the location of the entrance.

"It’s three meters to your left where vines are growing. Do you see them? Go through the vines, and there lies the mansion, hidden by an illusion array so you couldn’t see it," Cang Xue said.

Upon hearing this, Xu Ping’an immediately looked in the direction pointed out by Cang Xue.

Indeed, there, green vines were sprawling.

Behind the vines, the mountain wall looked like any normal wall.

However, upon close observation, Xu Ping’an could tell that this wall seemed a bit unreal.

If it weren’t for Cang Xue’s reminder, he definitely wouldn’t have noticed anything special here.

"Follow me," Xu Ping’an said to Li Xuanqing and the others.

Li Xuanqing and the rest glanced at Xu Ping’an, seemingly realizing something, and quickly followed suit.

"We won’t go, Master Xu. We need to deliver this Dragon Phoenix Pill to the Snow King," the leader of the Snow Spirit Guard said.

For them, the Dragon Phoenix Pill was the biggest goal of their trip; they would only feel at ease after they quickly handed it over to the Snow King.

"Alright, you go ahead," Xu Ping’an nodded.

The four of them were not weak in power, but now that most of the seventh-rank experts were dead,

there was no need to worry about being at a numerical disadvantage, so it wouldn’t make much of a difference whether they were there or not.

Upon hearing Xu Ping’an’s words, they glanced at Song Yan again, and upon seeing the latter nod, they swiftly dashed towards the valley.

Xu Ping’an then led his people to the mountain wall, cleaved through the vines with a sword, and darted out, directly passing through the mountain wall.

Seeing Xu Ping’an actually go through the mountain wall, Li Xuanqing and the others also understood that there was another hidden realm here.

They immediately followed.

Meanwhile, Xue Hu and his group, as well as Xie Fengyun and his people, all witnessed this scene and showed expressions of surprise.

Is there a hidden cave here?

There must be extremely precious treasures inside.

"Let’s go." Xue Hu immediately ordered, leading three Seventh Rank Experts towards the cave.

Xie Fengyun and Qin Yu hesitated for a moment, then steeled their hearts and followed.

There might be some heaven-defying opportunities inside, and they didn’t want to miss out.

Xu Ping’an knew these people would follow, but he didn’t care.

After all, time was running short, and if the Savage Ape King noticed something was amiss and rushed in, he would probably only be able to flee for his life.

So he couldn’t be bothered dealing with Xue Hu and his group.

Upon entering the cave, Xu Ping’an was stunned by the sight before him.

In front of them was a huge pool of water, measuring three meters square and at least one meter deep.

And it was filled with Tianlong Marrow.

"Holy shit, so much Tianlong Marrow?" Qin Yu was also astonished by the sight before him.

"Tianlong Marrow is also sold in the Heaven Beyond Heavens, with one drop valued at ten Low Grade Immortal Stones. There must be at least five thousand jin here, right?" Li Xuanqing was also incredibly shocked.

Xu Ping’an was also taken aback.

The quantity of Tianlong Marrow was even more than he had imagined.

With these, his Soul Power would definitely be able to break through to Soul Manifestation.

Xu Ping’an then looked towards the depths of the cave, where at the very end, a tree was growing.

The tree was not tall, only about three meters in height, but it radiated strong energy fluctuations.

And on the tree were five red fruits shaped like dragons, containing terrifying energy and emitting a strange fragrance.

"Tianlong fruit, there really is Tianlong fruit," said Qin Yu excitedly.

Li Xuanqing and the others were also shocked.

Indeed, the Cultivator from Shaoyang Heaven must have entered this place.

"So much Tianlong Marrow? And Tianlong fruit too?"

Xue Hu and his group were startled as they came in.

Xie Fengyun and Qin Yu’s eyes gleamed with extreme greed.

Seeing them enter, Xu Ping’an’s face revealed a cold smile.

"Xu Ping’an, I don’t want much, just give me a thousand jin of Tianlong Marrow and one Tianlong fruit, and I will leave right now," demanded Xie Fengyun.

"I have the same condition," said Qin Yu immediately.

Hearing this, Xu Ping’an laughed.

"Sorry, gentlemen, I don’t plan to share even a drop of this Tianlong Marrow with you," Xu Ping’an said with a cold smile.

"Xu Ping’an, don’t be too arrogant. Do you really think without our subordinates, we have no threat?" said Xie Fengyun with a cold voice.

"Oh? Then you can try to make your move. After all, you either kill me or you won’t get a drop. If you want it, you’ll have to try and take it," retorted Xu Ping’an with a cold laugh.

After speaking, he gestured for Li Xuanqing to start collecting the Tianlong Marrow.

Without hesitation, Li Xuanqing took out a Superior Grade Spirit Instrument Jade Vial and began to collect the marrow.

Seeing Li Xuanqing collecting the Tianlong Marrow, both Qin Yu and Xie Fengyun’s complexions changed.

They then watched as Xu Ping’an blocked their path, not giving them any chance to approach.
