Rise of the Sword Son-in-Law

Chapter 367: Son of the Fire Divine Palace

"So it’s the Seventh Prince, with so many people in tow—do you intend to surround and assassinate us?" Xu Ping’an snorted coldly, his face still carrying a look of arrogance.

He was now an envoy from the Upper Realm; looking down on these Cultivators from the Lower Realm, even those of royal blood held no significance in his eyes.

Qin Jingjing and Huang Yue also wore faces full of pride, clearly sharing the same sentiment.

Jiang Feng didn’t mind the expression on ’Bai Chen’s’ face and continued to speak with a smile, "Of course not, the envoy jests. Didn’t I not know the envoy before? All of you, fall back now."

At Jiang Feng’s command, all the Cultivators retreated.

’Bai Chen’ immediately revealed a smug smile and spoke, "Since the Seventh Prince says so, let’s put the previous matter behind us. My name is Bai Chen, and these two are my junior brother and junior sister, Huang Yue and Qin Jingjing. We all hail from the Earth Immortal Hall of the Heavenly Spirit Realm’s Immortal Emperor Palace."

"So you are envoys from the Earth Immortal Hall, my apologies for the oversight," Jiang Feng hastily said, being polite.

’Bai Chen’ maintained an arrogant demeanor and continued, "Speaking of which, your Great Flame Immortal Dynasty is also under the influence of our Heavenly Spirit Realm’s Immortal Emperor Palace. We are acting on the orders of the Immortal Emperor, so you should be assisting us."

The two Eighth Rank Strongmen standing behind the Seventh Prince frowned at this, seemingly wanting to say something, but they were stopped by Jiang Feng.

Jiang Feng kept smiling and said, "Naturally, that is as it should be. Could the envoys tell us what treasure brings you here?"

"You don’t need to bother about the treasure. Just stand aside and watch, and don’t interfere. Should anyone approach, strike to kill, and if you dare covet the final treasure, don’t think we won’t report back to Her Majesty, the Empress," Xu Ping’an said outright.

At these words, everyone behind the Seventh Prince was filled with anger.

The Seventh Prince’s eyes narrowed, but he still managed a slight smile, "The envoy jests. How could we dare covet a treasure of the Immortal Emperor? The envoy is free to take it, and I guarantee no one will dare get close."

"That would be for the best," Xu Ping’an said dismissively.

Jiang Feng smiled without saying a word.

Xu Ping’an observed Jiang Feng, who still wore a smile, his face still carrying disdain.

But in his heart, he became slightly vigilant; Jiang Feng was not someone to be trifled with.

Indeed, a member of the Royal Family, his tolerance was not something ordinary people possessed.

Xu Ping’an had been overbearing, but Jiang Feng still kept his smile; such people were the most terrifying.

A barking dog doesn’t bite, but it’s the quiet dogs that bite the hardest.

Clearly, Jiang Feng belonged to the latter, a dog that doesn’t bark before biting.

Huang Yue and Qin Jingjing both wore faces full of triumph, clearly unaware that Xu Ping’an was drawing hostility onto them.

"By the way, I heard that the Great Flame Emperor found a long-lost princess, and they say she’s a rare beauty. Is it true?" Xu Ping’an spoke up once again.

Jiang Feng was taken aback for a moment before smiling and saying, "It is true. The envoy speaks of my twelfth sister; she returned to our Great Flame Royal Family only last year. Indeed, she is a rare beauty seldom seen in the mortal world, and she is immensely talented, also possessing the legendary Chaotic Dao Body. If Envoy Bai is interested, I can introduce you to her sometime."

Chaotic Dao Body?

Xu Ping’an was somewhat surprised; he hadn’t expected his aunt to possess the Chaotic Dao Body.

It was an extremely powerful physique, even more so than his own Chaotic Thunder Tyrant Body and the Xuanhuang body.

However, Jiang Feng’s attitude had ignited a murderous intent in Xu Ping’an’s heart.

It was clear that Jiang Feng had ill intentions and was seeking trouble for his aunt.

"A Chaotic Dao Body, that is indeed interesting. Has the Twelfth Princess visited the Heavenly Star Palace yet?" Xu Ping’an immediately inquired with a smile.

"No, she hasn’t; she is now the apple of my father’s eye, and he wouldn’t allow her to come to a place so fraught with danger. Nowadays, she has even entered the Fire Divine Palace’s Pavilion of Mending the Heavens, with opportunities aplenty, something that no prince can compare to," Jiang Feng replied with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Xu Ping’an understood.

Jiang Feng was jealous of his aunt.

His aunt was cultivating in the Fire Divine Palace?

It seemed his aunt was doing quite well for herself.

"However, if Envoy Bai has his sights set on my sister, then I’m afraid he might be disappointed. The Divinity of the Fire Divine Palace has already proposed marriage to my father. While my father hasn’t yet agreed, given the status of the Fire Divine Palace, he cannot refuse," Jiang Feng revealed.

Xu Ping’an’s eyes narrowed in an instant, a rush of murderous intent surging within him.

The Divinity of the Fire Divine Palace?

Trying to force his aunt into marriage?

"What about the Twelfth Princess’s opinion?" Xu Ping’an immediately asked.

"Of course my twelfth sister refuses, she always says she has a man. Unfortunately, her opinion means nothing. With the Palace Master of the Fire Divine Palace himself seeking a marriage alliance, even my father cannot refuse," Jiang Feng said with a laugh.

At these words, Xu Ping’an let out a slight sigh of relief.

Auntie didn’t agree, which shows the arranged marriage wasn’t her wish.

All of this is pressure from the Fire Divine Palace.

What a Son of the Fire Divine Palace.

"Is this Son of the Fire Divine Palace that powerful?" Xu Ping’an continued to ask.

"Very powerful. The Son of the Fire Divine Palace, the Great Flame Immortal Dynasty’s number one prodigy, reached the Seventh Rank at eighteen, stepped into the Eighth Rank by twenty-two, and now at twenty-six, he’s probably rushing for the Ninth Rank. It’s said that he has comprehended the great dao of heaven and earth; his strength is terrifying indeed," Jiang Feng said.

A look of solemnity surged in Xu Ping’an’s eyes.

Indeed very strong.

Twenty-six and at the Eighth Rank Peak?

And he’s mastered the great dao of heaven and earth?

Such talent can truly be described as defying the heavens.

But no matter how talented, if he dares to covet my aunt, he must pay a price.

Xu Ping’an immediately decided in his heart that he must go to the Great Flame Immortal Dynasty to take his aunt away with him when he leaves the Heavenly Star Palace this time.

Whoever dares to stand in the way, kill them.

However, before that, he needs to have enough strength.

Otherwise, it would be a suicide mission.

While Xu Ping’an was resolutely making his decision, Qin Jingjing beside him was fuming.

Her Brother Bai actually took an interest in a woman from the Mortal Realm?

Even though the other party was a princess, she was still a mortal.

Huang Yue, on the other hand, was somewhat pleased. This meant Bai Chen wouldn’t compete with him for Qin Jingjing anymore.

Xu Ping’an then looked at Jiang Feng.

He knew Jiang Feng wasn’t telling him all this out of kindness, but to draw him into a conflict with the Son of the Fire Divine Palace.

But he didn’t care—Jiang Feng’s little schemes were nothing to him.

"You can leave now, we’re about to retrieve the treasure," Xu Ping’an said coldly to Jiang Feng.

"Alright, if you need anything, just tell Envoy Bai," Jiang Feng replied.

After speaking, he led his people away from the Ancient Formation Disk.

Xu Ping’an watched Jiang Feng’s retreating figure with a sneer in his heart.

So Jiang Feng plans to wait until I’ve taken out the treasure and then rob me of it, huh?

Just don’t know if he’ll act personally or use other methods.

But these were not Xu Ping’an’s concerns

What he needs to consider now is how to activate this Array Plate without harming Yu Xin.

He was also curious about what exactly was inside this Ancient Formation Disk.

"Brother, should we throw her in now?" After Huang Yue finished speaking, he reached out toward Yu Xin.

Yu Xin immediately went on the defensive.

"Wait a moment," Xu Ping’an suddenly intervened.

"What’s wrong, Brother?" Huang Yue asked, puzzled.

Qin Jingjing, standing to the side, looked at ’Bai Chen’ with the same confusion.

Even Yu Xin looked at ’Bai Chen’ with some surprise.

However, Huang Yue did not receive an answer; instead, what responded to him was a fierce streak of blade light.

The blade’s chill was piercing, and Huang Yue was instantly cleaved into two.

Huang Yue didn’t understand what had happened until his death.

Qin Jingjing and Yu Xin on the side had their eyes widened in disbelief, looking at Xu Ping’an.

What’s going on?
