Rise of the Sword Son-in-Law

Chapter 488: The Arrogant Heavenly Moon Sect

"Who goes there?" Chen Yunshi burst out immediately.

A figure was hastening through the air.

Upon seeing the three individuals in the sky, his expression changed abruptly.

The cultivation of these three people was evidently stronger than his, and from their attire, it was apparent they belonged to Heavenly Moon Sect.

The trio gave Chen Yunshi a glance and snorted disdainfully before turning their attention to the middle-aged beauty and the woman in the black dress.

The middle-aged beauty and the woman in the black dress both had stark changes in their complexions.

As for Xu Ping’an, he was completely ignored.

The surrounding merchants were also wearing expressions of terror.

Clearly, they could sense the powerful aura emanating from these three individuals.

"So it is three seniors from Heavenly Moon Sect, may I ask why you have come to this place?" Chen Yunshi hesitated for a moment before smiling and speaking up.

"Hmph, a mere Fifth Rank, this isn’t your place to speak. Get out of the way," a young woman among them snorted coldly.

After saying this, she waved her hand and a palm made of condensed soul power struck Chen Yunshi directly across the face.

"Slap!"

Chen Yunshi was immediately sent flying, blood spewing from his mouth.

"Captain." The other guards were shocked and hurried forward.

Chen Yunshi, however, pulled them back and silently shook his head.

Soul power?

This was the work of a Seventh Rank Cultivator, completely out of their league to confront.

And if the young woman was this strong, the other two would be even stronger.

Xu Ping’an frown slightly.

Resorting to violence without a word?

A mere Seventh Rank Third Layer Realm, and yet so arrogant.

"Consider this a lesson. If you dare to butt in again, I can easily kill you," the young woman snorted coldly, her eyes filled with contempt.

Chen Yunshi said nothing more, but his fists were clenched tightly.

The woman no longer regarded Chen Yunshi, instead turning her gaze to the woman in the black dress and the middle-aged beauty.

"Cao Yuqing, do you really think you can escape? You think the little tricks of your sect can truly elude Heavenly Moon Sect?" the young woman said with a cold smirk to the middle-aged beauty.

The middle-aged beauty’s face changed.

It dawned on her immediately.

There was a traitor in their sect, and it was likely that this traitor held a significant status.

After all, only a few high-ranking members of the sect were privy to this matter.

"Surrender the Rift Sky Secret Technique to the Commandery Princess, and we might consider leaving your body intact," another youth followed with a smile.

"Even if you kill me, my father will not spare you. You may be from Heavenly Moon Sect, but you won’t be able to withstand my father’s wrath," the woman in the black dress retorted immediately.

Xu Ping’an shook his head and sighed upon hearing this.

Foolish girl, this person apparently has no intention of sparing anyone.

It seems that everyone present tonight might have to die.

Indeed, the youth sneered lightly, "Rest assured, Commandery Princess, nobody knows you’re here. Everyone will believe you’re still at Mysterious Snow Sect."

Upon hearing this, the faces of the surrounding merchants, including Chen Yunshi, all turned pale.

These people intended to kill and silence?

Damn it!

The merchants around all felt a sense of dread as if facing imminent death.

"You are utterly inhumane, are you even human?" Cao Yuqing glared and shouted.

"Shut up!" The young woman once again utilized her soul power, and another slap landed on Cao Yuqing’s face.

Cao Yuqing was directly knocked to the ground by the slap.

As a Sixth Rank Cultivator, she simply couldn’t contend with a Seventh Rank Cultivator.

In front of a Seventh Rank, she had absolutely no power to fight back.

"I can give you the Rift Sky Secret Technique, but you must let them go. They are innocent," the woman in the black dress immediately said.

"Yes, Immortal, please spare our lives; we guarantee we saw nothing and will not leak a single word," the surrounding merchants pleaded one after another.

But Chen Yunshi’s face was ice cold.

He knew better than anyone that these people would not let them go.

This woman in a black dress was a Commandery Princess. To kill a Commandery Princess, the Heavenly Moon Sect would never allow the news to spread.

"Shut up, a bunch of ants. Today, all of you must die," the young woman coldly snorted.

The faces of the surrounding merchants instantly turned ashen.

"Commandery Princess Situ, today you either hand it over or not, in any case, by tomorrow the local government will release news that this caravan died at the hands of bandits. As for you, I’ll invite you to be a guest at the Heavenly Moon Sect. Whenever you speak out the Rift Sky Secret Technique, that’s when I’ll send you on your way," the young man said with freezing coldness.

"Your Heavenly Moon Sect is shameless," Cao Yuqing said with fiery anger.

The woman in the black dress also had a look of despair.

Two Seventh Rank, one Eighth Rank.

It seemed that today they were doomed.

"I am Situ Xuexian, I am the Commandery Princess of the Lieyang Royal Mansion. I originally wanted to sneak back to the Lieyang Mansion, but unfortunately, I didn’t expect to still be discovered by the Heavenly Moon Sect, involving everyone. Situ Xuexian apologizes to all of you," the woman in the black dress said to everyone.

Upon hearing her words, many among the crowd sighed deeply.

Among the people, some resented Situ Xuexian, while others could only sigh helplessly.

Others despised the venomous ruthlessness of the Heavenly Moon Sect.

But now it was useless to say anything.

"Alright, kill all these people and take Commandery Princess Situ away," the leading elder finally spoke, his voice echoing like the sound of a iron drum and bells.

"Yes, elder," the young man and woman immediately responded.

"I’ve been a bit restless; Brother, let me do it," the young woman said with a cold laugh.

"Then be quick about it, don’t keep the elder waiting too long," the young man laughed, his eyes filled with indifference.

"Rest assured, a bunch of ants. I’ll just play around, it won’t take too long," the woman said with a smile, her expression unspeakably cruel.

The young man waved his hand.

The young woman was overjoyed, looking down at the terrified mortals below with a cold and mocking smile in her eyes.

"Who should I start with? You," the young woman looked at Chen Yunshi and immediately unleashed her Soul Power towards him.

Chen Yunshi’s face changed dramatically, he hastily mustered all his strength to resist.

"Fireflies daring to compete with the sun and moon for brilliance, seeking death," the young woman coldly snorted.

The Soul Power burst forth, instantly dissolving Chen Yunshi’s defensive efforts and sent him flying out.

Chen Yunshi coughed up blood violently.

They were not on the same level at all.

Seeing this, Cao Yuqing also took immediate action.

However, the young woman just sneered, her Soul Power exploding once again, sending him flying as well.

"Kill!"

The surrounding guards charged at the young woman one after another.

"A bunch of ants."

The young woman was even more disdainful.

Soul Power surged, instantly knocking everyone away.

In just an instant, everyone was spitting blood, unable to rise from the ground.

In front of a Seventh Rank Cultivator, these few people were nothing at all.

Seeing this scene, Xu Ping’an also sighed deeply.

So be it, if blown exposed.

At this moment, he could no longer bear it.

If he watched these people die without doing anything, he would not be able to accept it.

So Xu Ping’an slowly stepped forward, looking at the young woman from the Heavenly Moon Sect ahead, and said indifferently, "I did not expect disciples of the Heavenly Moon Sect to be so arrogant, calling others ants and mortals. Aren’t you all cultivated from mortals as well?"

Xu Ping’an’s voice was not loud, yet it struck like thunder out of a clear sky.

Suddenly, everyone’s gaze turned towards Xu Ping’an.
