Rise of the Sword Son-in-Law

Chapter 537 Mysterious Woman

"Buzz!"

Xu Ping’an felt a pulling force emanating from his Niwan Palace.

This force was not from anything else, but from the Supreme Immortal Seal given to him by Tang Xinyue.

"Could it be that there is an Immortal Emperor Seal or an Immortal Emperor Seal within this bamboo forest?" Xu Ping’an muttered to himself.

If it were one of these two things, they would indeed be of great use to him.

His soul realm had already reached the level of Seventh Rank Peak, and if he were to merge in an Immortal Emperor Seal or an Immortal Emperor Seal, he could consolidate the three cities downstream of the Tianlong River as well as the entire Beichen Sword Sect.

At that time, his soul power would also become much stronger.

Thinking of this, Xu Ping’an couldn’t help but walk towards the bamboo forest.

Soon, Xu Ping’an arrived at the edge of the bamboo forest.

"Eh, it’s actually a Tenth Rank Tiangang Wind God Killing Formation." Xu Ping’an was somewhat surprised.

Because this formation was one he had created himself.

Thus, he was more than familiar with the formation before his eyes.

It was just that he had not expected the formation he created to be here, as he had only taught it to Ling Qingyao.

How did it appear in this bamboo forest?

Could it be that the owner of the bamboo forest had some connection to Ling Qingyao?

With this thought, Xu Ping’an became even more curious.

"Any other Tenth Rank formation, I really couldn’t break, but this Tiangang Wind God Killing Formation won’t trouble me," Xu Ping’an said with a light chuckle.

A Tenth Rank formation, with his current cultivation, was naturally impossible to break.

However, since he had created this formation, he was naturally crystal clear about its weaknesses and loopholes.

With this thought, a cold smile curled at the corner of Xu Ping’an’s mouth.

The next moment, a pair of green phantom wings appeared behind him.

Then, with a single step, Xu Ping’an’s figure turned into a green shadow, rapidly weaving through the bamboo forest.

The formation of the bamboo forest sensed someone breaking in and immediately activated.

The bamboo leaves around transformed into sharp blades and shot towards Xu Ping’an at high speed.

However, Xu Ping’an was able to cleverly predict the trajectory of these bamboo leaves every time and evade them in advance.

His figure rapidly darted through the forest, encountering no hindrance at all.

The wind blades unleashed by the formation were incredibly dense and powerful, each capable of injuring a Ninth Rank Expert.

Yet, Xu Ping’an still moved through them with ease.

Quickly, Xu Ping’an reached the depths of the bamboo forest.

In the depths, there was a very quiet courtyard.

Xu Ping’an stood in front of the courtyard and let out a slight breath.

At this moment, he had left the range of the killing formation.

Fortunately, the owner of the bamboo forest had not layered the formations, otherwise, it wouldn’t have been so easy for him to enter the courtyard so effortlessly.

Xu Ping’an gently pushed open the large gate of the courtyard and slowly walked in.

The interior of the courtyard was extremely serene and elegant, as if someone lived there.

"The sensation seems to come from the backyard," Xu Ping’an silently sensed and continued to walk towards the backyard.

Crossing the tranquil corridor, Xu Ping’an didn’t see any figures.

This made Xu Ping’an somewhat puzzled.

Could it be that the owner of the courtyard is not here?

He had been ready to leave immediately if noticed by the owner of the courtyard.

But it seems that’s no longer necessary now.

Soon, Xu Ping’an reached the backyard of the courtyard.

The backyard was not small, with paths winding through quiet scenery.

The mist swirled around, the spiritual energy extremely dense, but also ice-cold.

It was as if he had suddenly arrived in an ice-cold world.

With one glance, Xu Ping’an saw a not-so-small pond deep in the courtyard.

And all the mist came from that pond.

"Is this the Nine Heavens Xuan Jade Cold Pond?" Xu Ping’an inhaled a mouthful of mist.

A thick layer of frost instantly enveloped his meridians.

This surprised him.

The mist actually came from the waters of the Nine Heavens Xuan Jade Cold Pond.

Fortunately, he practiced the Chaotic Reversal Scripture, which could devour the power of the Nine Heavens Xuan Jade Cold Water.

If it were any other Ninth Rank Expert, they would be frozen stiff.

Even so, Xu Ping’an couldn’t help but shiver.

Silently, he mobilized the Chaotic Flame within him to resist this terrifying coldness.

Forcing himself to endure the chill, Xu Ping’an walked towards the Cold Pool.

But in the next moment, he was suddenly startled.

"Someone’s here!"

Xu Ping’an was surprised and immediately stopped in his tracks.

At this moment, there was actually a person in the Cold Pool.

To be precise, it was a young woman, and because of the mist, Xu Ping’an couldn’t see her face clearly.

He could only see a woman sitting in the middle of the Cold Pool facing his direction, with just her head and snowy white neck exposed.

The mist veiled everything, making it impossible to see her true appearance.

However, one could vaguely tell that this woman was extremely beautiful.

"A Tenth Rank Immortal?" Xu Ping’an’s heart pounded with shock.

Although he hadn’t seen the woman’s true face, he felt a terrifying pressure emanating from her.

This pressure was due to the world’s repulsion of Tenth Rank Experts.

Tenth Rank Experts who comprehended the Power of Dao Principles would cause the world to repel them.

The repulsion of the world around this woman was strong, indicating that her cultivation was formidable, certainly no small presence even among the Tenth Rank.

"Why are there Tenth Rank Experts everywhere?" Xu Ping’an cursed silently in his heart.

Luckily, it seemed like the woman was practicing some cultivation technique and was immersed in her training, not sensing his presence.

At this moment, Xu Ping’an was certain that his previous sensing came from this woman.

That is to say, this woman might possess an Immortal Emperor Seal or a Supreme Immortal Seal.

Thinking this, Xu Ping’an was also extremely helpless.

Never mind the Immortal Emperor Seal or Supreme Immortal Seal; even if the treasure was better, he could only give up.

Because the woman in front of him was a Tenth Rank Expert, trying to snatch treasures from her was almost suicidal.

"Qing Huo, come on out, I know you’re in there."

Just then, a cold voice came from outside the bamboo forest.

Xu Ping’an’s footsteps, just as he was about to leave, suddenly halted.

Damn it, another Tenth Rank Expert has arrived.

How come Tenth Rank Experts are suddenly appearing out of nowhere?

But Xu Ping’an did not have time to think further, he immediately hid behind a huge rock, trying his best to conceal his breath.

Because the woman in the pool had already opened her eyes, her gaze sharp and penetrating, seeing through the courtyard and bamboo forest in an instant, her gaze falling on a man outside the bamboo forest.

"Ji Ling, you’re courting death," the woman coldly snapped.

She stepped out, and her garments appeared on her.

Transforming into a streak of cold light, she directly exited the backyard and arrived in the midst of the bamboo forest.
