Rise of the Sword Son-in-Law

Chapter 590: True Dragon Corpse

"Hmm, I killed some people and obtained some resources," Xu Ping’an responded.

Qiu Lu was somewhat surprised, it seemed that Xu Ping’an was also very fast at absorbing resources.

Doesn’t that mean, as long as he had enough resources, he could quickly enhance his own strength?

"Do you know, right now the imperial capital has gone mad because of your actions yesterday, the entire imperial capital is frantically searching for you?" Qiu Lu said.

"I guessed as much, after all, they were disciples of the direct line from Heaven Beyond Heavens," Xu Ping’an said with a smile, not concerned in the slightest.

This was all within his expectations.

"Do you know that Demon Cloud Heaven has issued the Heavenly Slaughter Order?" Qiu Lu continued.

"Heavenly Slaughter Order?" Xu Ping’an showed a hint of confusion.

"The Heavenly Slaughter Order is a kind of supreme directive for manhunt, meaning they will not rest until you are dead. In other words, Demon Cloud Heaven will chase you until your death, as long as you live, Demon Cloud Heaven will not let you go," Qiu Lu explained.

Xu Ping’an scoffed, "You say that as if they would let me go if they didn’t issue an order to kill me."

Xu Ping’an didn’t care about the so-called Heavenly Slaughter Order.

"It’s different, the Heavenly Slaughter Order also has a special significance. The order will lure many powerful individuals because Demon Cloud Heaven has promised lavish rewards for it. For instance, they promised this time that whoever kills you will get a Dao Stone and ten vessels," Qiu Lu continued.

"Dao Stone? Demon Cloud Heaven really is generous," Xu Ping’an was somewhat astonished.

The so-called Dao Stone was actually a stone from the Source Ground of Dao Principle.

It contained a great amount of the Power of Dao Principles, which could enable an expert above the Tenth Rank to control the Power of Dao Principles more rapidly.

Therefore, Dao Stones were extremely rare and precious.

Not just Tenth Rank Experts, but even those at the Eleventh Rank and Twelfth Rank coveted Dao Stones as well.

"So now you’re in big trouble. I heard that many powerful individuals are heading towards the imperial capital. What you may face next is not a pursuit by your peers, but by those older generation Tenth Rank Experts," Qiu Lu said.

Tenth Rank Experts?

Xu Ping’an scoffed.

This is the Mortal Realm, not the Spirit Realm.

If it were in the Spirit Realm, he indeed would have feared these Tenth Rank Experts.

In the Mortal Realm, their strength was only equivalent to the Semi-Immortal Realm.

The strength of Tenth Rank from the First Layer to the Third Layer was roughly equal to the initial stage of a Semi-Immortal.

The strength of Tenth Rank from the Fourth Layer to the Sixth Layer was roughly equal to the intermediate stage of a Semi-Immortal.

The strength of Tenth Rank from the Seventh Layer to the Ninth Layer was roughly equal to the late stage of a Semi-Immortal.

Only those above the peak of the Ninth Layer Realm of the Tenth Rank could exhibit the combat power of the peak of the Semi-Immortal Realm.

Without the Power of Dao Principles, these so-called immortals are only Demi Immortals.

Xu Ping’an’s combat power had already reached the late peak of the Semi-Immortal Realm.

Thus, among Tenth Rank Experts, as long as they were in the Mortal Realm, hardly anyone could be his match.

"What of Tenth Rank Experts? No matter how many come, I’ll kill as many as there are. They want to kill me, Xu Ping’an, then I’ll make them afraid until they give up. Do they really think I, Xu Ping’an, am easily bullied?" Xu Ping’an sneered without end.

Qiu Lu was somewhat surprised; she never expected Xu Ping’an to have such an attitude.

In her view, being pursued by so many, Xu Ping’an should have been hiding and trying to escape.

But Xu Ping’an was actually thinking about making those people afraid?

"This aspect is very similar to my master. Could it be that master chose him as a disciple because he saw this trait in him?" Qiu Lu mused to herself.

At this moment, she saw the shadow of her former master in Xu Ping’an.

This made her feelings quite complex.

"By the way, there’s something else that might interest you," Qiu Lu suddenly said.

"What is it?" Xu Ping’an asked.

"Actually, these forces have another purpose for coming here, which is to seek a chance encounter. This opportunity is in the imperial capital, but so far no one has found it. Even the imperial family and Fire Divine Palace have searched the entire imperial capital without any success. These forces are here for this reason, and even the emergence of this opportunity will attract even more forces," Qiu Lu said.

"What opportunity?" Xu Ping’an was somewhat surprised.

There’s actually an opportunity hidden in the Great Flame Immortal Dynasty’s imperial capital?

"Yes, the location where the imperial capital of the Great Flame Immortal Dynasty is situated once witnessed the fall of a True Dragon. It is said that the bones of this True Dragon are hidden somewhere underground in the imperial capital. For example, the Fire Spirit Fluid of Fire Spirit Mountain is caused by the blood shed by the True Dragon," Qiu Lu said.

"True Dragon Corpse?" Xu Ping’an’s heart skipped a beat.

If there truly was a True Dragon Corpse, it would greatly benefit him as well.

Especially his Physical Cultivation Level, his progress in body cultivation was very slow.

If he didn’t have powerful resources, his body cultivation would hardly improve.

However, if he could obtain True Dragon Blood, his physical cultivation strength could definitely leap forward.

"Is there any specific news?" Xu Ping’an continued to ask.

"There isn’t anything specific, but rumors say that this True Dragon’s bones are near Hidden Dragon Mountain in the imperial capital. Those strong individuals from various forces should all be there," Qiu Lu replied.

Hidden Dragon Mountain?

Xu Ping’an knew of this place.

It was an ordinary mountain near North City of the Great Flame Immortal Dynasty’s imperial capital.

It was named Hidden Dragon Mountain because an emperor of a former era from the Great Flame Immortal Dynasty had cultivated there.

"Could it be, that emperor found the True Dragon Corpse back then?" Xu Ping’an asked.

Qiu Lu shook her head, "No, that emperor probably sensed something extraordinary about Hidden Dragon Mountain and used it to aid his cultivation."

Xu Ping’an nodded.

If the Great Flame Immortal Dynasty knew the whereabouts of the True Dragon Corpse, they would have taken it long ago.

Why would they leave it for those outsiders?

"So, there are a lot of people at Hidden Dragon Mountain right now?" Xu Ping’an asked.

"Quite a few. Basically, all the geniuses and strong individuals from all forces are over there. Are you planning to go?" Qiu Lu asked.

"Of course, with such a lively scene, how can I not participate? I love lively situations the most," Xu Ping’an laughed.

Upon hearing this, Qiu Lu had a bad premonition.

This premonition was not for Xu Ping’an, but for those strong individuals from the forces.

She feared that once Xu Ping’an went there, those forces would once again be in trouble.

"Since you want to go, then I’ll accompany you there," Qiu Lu said.

Upon hearing this, Xu Ping’an smiled and immediately set off towards Hidden Dragon Mountain with Qiu Lu.
