Rise of the Sword Son-in-Law

Chapter 368: Princess of Western Chu

"Brother... senior brother, why... why?" Qin Jingjing was stunned for a long time and failed to react.

The senior brother Bai that she had admired had actually struck down their fellow disciple Huang Yue?

Yu Xin, standing beside her, also wore a puzzled look. Were they infighting?

Xu Ping’an, on the other hand, looked at Qin Jingjing indifferently and spoke, "I am not your senior brother, your senior brother is already dead."

Having said that, Xu Ping’an then changed back to his own appearance.

The next moment, Qin Jingjing’s eyes instantly turned blood red. "I will kill you."

After speaking, Qin Jingjing charged towards Xu Ping’an at high speed.

But Xu Ping’an’s gaze was ice-cold, the Immortal Blade in his hand flashing down, chopping with one swift strike and directly killing Qin Jingjing.

This scene completely dumbfounded Yu Xin.

Xu Ping’an?

Was Bai Chen impersonated by Xu Ping’an?

Then what about the real Bai Chen?

When had Xu Ping’an killed Bai Chen and taken his place?

Yes, the sandstorm. Since that time, Bai Chen had seemed somewhat different.

Seeing the changing expressions on Yu Xin’s face, Xu Ping’an knew she had guessed the whole process.

"Sister Yu, are you alright?" Xu Ping’an asked her.

"I’m fine, just surprised, and even more unexpected was to find you here. When did you discover me?" Yu Xin inquired.

"I found you in the Stone Forest, followed you all the way, then triggered the Killing Formation, which caused the sandstorm. It was under the cover of the sandstorm that I killed Bai Chen and took his place. I originally intended to use Bai Chen’s identity to deal with the people from the Great Flame Immortal Dynasty, to see if I could acquire the treasure of this place," explained Xu Ping’an.

"And now? Why did you kill them?" asked Yu Xin, looking at Xu Ping’an.

"I didn’t want to waste any more time. Continuing to disguise as Bai Chen might have been convenient, but it was too time-consuming. As for these three, they likely killed the Fourth Elder, so my killing them is not unwarranted," Xu Ping’an said.

"Hmm, they killed my brother. Thank you for taking revenge for me," Yu Xin said gratefully.

"Sister Yu is too polite. You have shown me kindness, so it was only right for me to help. Moreover, as a disciple of the Beichen Sword Sect, seeking revenge for the Fourth Elder is my duty," Xu Ping’an said without concern.

Yu Xin nodded and then coldly said, "Then let’s get started. It’s better to die by your hand than by theirs."

Xu Ping’an was startled.

What did she mean?

But he quickly understood and couldn’t help but feel a mix of amusement and helplessness.

"Why are you laughing? Don’t you also want the treasure? Only by throwing me into the Array Plate can the Great Formation be activated," Yu Xin said with a frown.

But Xu Ping’an laughed and responded, "Sister Yu might have misunderstood me. I do want the treasure, but I’ve never considered sacrificing you for it. I was thinking of a way to obtain the treasure without harming you. Besides, I think this place’s treasure could be of great use to Sister Yu."

Yu Xin was taken aback, looking at Xu Ping’an with surprise.

Seeing that Xu Ping’an’s expression did not seem fake, she realized that she had misunderstood him and her face blushed.

"I’m sorry, Sister Yu misunderstood you. I didn’t expect you to think like that," Yu Xin apologized with a guilty look.

Xu Ping’an waved his hand and teased with a smile, "Why would I harm Sister Yu? You are heavenly and beautiful; I couldn’t bear it."

Immediately, Yu Xin smiled sweetly and scolded with a laugh, "Such a smooth talker. I didn’t expect you to have become so adept at making women happy after so many days. That wasn’t like you before."

Xu Ping’an just smiled.

In the past, because of Ling Qingyao and Zhou Mengyue, he had developed an instinctive aversion to women.

But now he had let go of those feelings; not all women were like Ling Qingyao and Zhou Mengyue.

"Alright, let’s not talk about that. Sister Yu, could you permit me to examine your body?" Xu Ping’an suddenly said, growing serious.

"Do I need to undress?" Yu Xin smiled teasingly, throwing Xu Ping’an a flirtatious glance.

Xu Ping’an’s heart quivered in response.

Yu Xin, although already in her thirties, still exuded a kind of mature charm.

Moreover, her figure was really good, especially her bust, which was extraordinarily spectacular. At this moment, as she was teasing, even Xu Ping’an found it hard to ignore.

"Sister Yu, stop joking around, I might make a mistake," Xu Ping’an immediately said, feeling embarrassed.

"So what if you make a mistake? I won’t punish you. What, you think you’re too good for your Sister Yu?" Yu Xin said with a laugh.

"How could that be possible? Sister Yu, you are incredibly charming. How could I not be interested? It’s just that now is not the time to think about these things. We should focus on the important tasks at hand. Jiang Feng will certainly not let us off, and we don’t have much time," Xu Ping’an quickly explained.

"You timid guy, I knew you didn’t have the guts. Alright, I won’t tease you anymore. Check it out, when I came into contact with that Earth Spirit Pearl, the thing made its way into my body and lodged itself in the Pill Sea. I can’t move it at all," Yu Xin said, and then stretched out her arm.

Xu Ping’an, without thinking further, grabbed Yu Xin’s arm and began to carefully examine her.

Indeed, he found that earthen yellow bead in Yu Xin’s Pill Sea.

Xu Ping’an tried to move the Spiritual Pearl, but he couldn’t budge it at all.

Xu Ping’an also tested his own Inner Strength, but it was still useless.

This made Xu Ping’an frown involuntarily.

Could it really be impossible to remove this Spiritual Pearl?

"I’ve tried many methods, all to no avail. Maybe I should just go to the Array Plate," Yu Xin said, also disappointed.

"Wait a second, I still have one method I haven’t tried," Xu Ping’an said.

The next moment, he mobilized the earthen yellow force within his spleen.

Indeed, as Xu Ping’an injected this earthen yellow force into Yu Xin’s body, the Earth Spirit Pearl finally began to tremble.

Xu Ping’an immediately rejoiced, and Yu Xin was also shocked.

Was it working?

Without any hesitation, Xu Ping’an used this earthen yellow energy to pull the Spiritual Pearl.

Sure enough, the Pearl began to move and was gradually drawn out of the body by Xu Ping’an.

"It worked," Xu Ping’an exclaimed joyfully, grabbing the Spiritual Pearl.

Yu Xin was also astonished. The Pearl had stayed inside her body for ten years without moving.

Could it have really been removed today?

"What kind of energy is this?" Yu Xin asked anxiously.

"I’m not sure myself. It’s the energy I absorbed when I killed those rock beasts," Xu Ping’an responded.

Yu Xin showed a look of surprise. She had seen rock beasts before, had also seen those dissipating energies, but wasn’t it impossible to absorb that kind of energy?

Could Xu Ping’an really absorb it?

"Let’s not worry about that for now. Let’s try using this Earth Spirit Pearl to activate the Formation, shall we?" Xu Ping’an suggested.

"Okay, I’m also curious about what secret this place hides. That Spiritual Pearl has led to the ruin of my family; to be honest, I have no interest in treasures, I just want an answer," Yu Xin said earnestly.

Xu Ping’an nodded; he could sense Yu Xin’s pain.

Yu Xin’s family had paid a heavy price for this Spiritual Pearl.

The remnants of Western Chu?

If he was not mistaken, Yu Xin must be of the Western Chu royal bloodline, and if Western Chu had not perished, then it was highly likely that Yu Xin was a princess.

Xu Ping’an didn’t say much and picked up the Earth Spirit Pearl, heading towards the Array Plate.

As if sensing the Array Plate, the Earth Spirit Pearl began to tremble violently.

Finally, it broke free from Xu Ping’an’s hand and flew into the Array Plate.

And just as the Earth Spirit Pearl flew into the Array Plate, all the Formation Patterns on it were lit up.

A tremendously powerful wave of energy erupted from atop the Array Plate.
