Rise of the Sword Son-in-Law

Chapter 596 The Reason for the Pursuit

"The Silver-horned Serpent is dead, let’s go, we can enter now,"

a sudden surge of delight erupted among the crowd gathered around.

With the death of the Silver-horned Serpent, there were no more obstacles, allowing them to enter the small world.

"Let’s go!"

Zhao Hanxing and the others took the lead, streaking directly toward the cave.

The entrance to the cave had been destroyed, and now the spatial portal was revealed.

It was an entrance similar to a teleportation gate.

With the Eye of Space, Xu Ping’an took a glance and found this spatial legacy gate to be quite complex.

Building a teleportation gate like this one evidently wasn’t an easy task.

One must break through to the Spatial Law Dao Principle Realm first.

"Let’s go in as well," Li Xuanqing spoke.

Then he pulled Qin Yu with him toward the spatial entrance.

"Brother, shall we go together?" Xue Hu asked with a smile, grinning at Xu Ping’an.

"Did you recognize me?" Xu Ping’an asked through a spiritual message.

"Hehe, I guessed it. If brother you really are Yan Wu, then you shouldn’t be unfamiliar with Lan Jing, because Yan Wu is fond of Lan Jing," Xue Hu explained with a laugh through a spiritual message.

"Huh? They know each other?" Xu Ping’an no longer kept his disguise.

He had not expected Yan Wu to actually fancy Lan Jing.

No wonder Xue Hu looked at him so curiously.

"They know each other, and they were childhood sweethearts to boot. However, after Lan Jing demonstrated extreme talent, they lost contact, but Yan Wu has always liked Lan Jing. I am the only one who knows this, of course, Lan Jing might know too," Xue Hu explained through a spiritual message.

"You and Yan Wu are that close?" Xu Ping’an asked in surprise.

"Not close, I just guessed from some information," Xue Hu laughed.

Xu Ping’an understood.

Xue Hu’s information was indeed strong.

But Xu Ping’an had not expected Xue Hu to even know who Yan Wu was fond of.

However, what truly concerned Xu Ping’an was Lan Jing.

If Lan Jing also knew Yan Wu and they were childhood sweethearts, he had to be more cautious.

He should avoid contact with Lan Jing, lest his identity be easily uncovered.

"Hehe, brother, I was just talking smack about you earlier, none of it was serious, so please don’t take it to heart," Xue Hu laughed.

"Hmm, I can agree to not pursue the matter, but you must hand over the Immortal Emperor Seal and Immortal Emperor’s Mark that you have on you," Xu Ping’an chuckled.

Xue Hu’s face stiffened momentarily, but he quickly recovered.

"Aren’t you afraid that I’ll reveal your identity?" Xue Hu laughed.

"You can try, but if my identity is exposed, the first one I’ll kill is you. Do you think I can’t do it?" Xu Ping’an laughed lightly.

He wasn’t afraid of Xue Hu’s threat.

Since he had dared to come here, he wasn’t worried about being exposed.

If Xue Hu thought to threaten him with this, he was underestimating Xu Ping’an.

"You want the Immortal Emperor Seal and Immortal Emperor’s Mark? So, you know the secrets of these seals? Is the Supreme Immortal Seal on your person?" Xue Hu suddenly thought of something and hastily asked.

Xu Ping’an smiled but didn’t answer him.

Seeing Xu Ping’an’s expression, Xue Hu knew he had guessed correctly.

"Sure enough, I wasn’t mistaken. The intelligence I had received previously indicated that the Supreme Immortal Seal was in the hands of Tang Xinyue, but later she lost it. Now it seems she must have given the Supreme Immortal Seal to you. Additionally, Tang Xinyue used to have the constitution of the Chaotic Flame, and you didn’t have this constitution before, which means she must have transferred it to you. This suggests that you two have an exceptionally deep relationship," Xue Hu speculated, talking to himself.

Xu Ping’an looked at Xue Hu in surprise.

Could Xue Hu actually know even this detail?

It appeared that his ability to gather information was stronger than Xu Ping’an had imagined.

"Damn, bro, you’ve taken three spots in the top ten of the power ranking list all at once," Xue Hu exclaimed in surprise, eyeing Xu Ping’an with envy.

"What, you want to take my place?" Xu Ping’an chuckled lightly.

Li Qingyi was ranked tenth on the power ranking list, Su Chan was eighth, and Tang Xinyue was fifth.

These three women could now be essentially considered his.

So Xue Hu was right, he did occupy three places in the top ten of the list.

"No, I wouldn’t dare. Brother, I have a favor to ask. If you really do fight Zhao Hanxing, could you spare her life instead of killing her?" Xue Hu asked with a sheepish smile.

At these words, Xu Ping’an let out a light laugh.

This guy really did seem to have a thing for Zhao Hanxing.

"Ok, but you’ll have to give me the Immortal Emperor Seals and Immortal Emperor Seal in exchange. Otherwise, if she truly attacks me, I’ll definitely kill her," Xu Ping’an stated firmly.

Seeing Xu Ping’an’s expression,

Xue Hu was extremely reluctant but still took out two Immortal Emperor Seals and one Immortal Emperor Seal, handing them to Xu Ping’an.

Xu Ping’an was taken aback.

Just like that, for him?

He was just trying to scare Xue Hu; Xu Ping’an truly might not be a match for Zhao Hanxing.

"Do you think I can actually kill Zhao Hanxing?" Instead of taking them, Xu Ping’an asked this question.

"I know you might not have the ability to kill her right now, but the rate of your growth is truly terrifying. That’s why I’m willing to trade these three seals for Zhao Hanxing’s life," Xue Hu said earnestly.

Xu Ping’an was somewhat surprised at this response.

"Alright then, I’ll take them. If she really comes at me, I can let her go," Xu Ping’an nodded, taking the two Immortal Emperor Seals and the Immortal Emperor Seal.

With these three seals in hand, his Soul Cultivation should be able to reach the Eighth Rank Peak.

His Soul Cultivation would then surely grow stronger.

Thinking this, Xu Ping’an’s eyes filled with anticipation.

"Since you already possess the Supreme Immortal Seal, you must have experienced the benefits of merging the Immortal Emperor Seals and the Immortal Emperor Seal, but gathering all the Immortal Emperor Seals and Immortal Emperor Seal is almost an impossible task. Moreover, the Immortal Emperor Seals and Immortal Emperor Seal might involve certain setups," Xue Hu responded.

"I know, I’ll take as many as I can. As for setups, do you think I don’t have enough of those already on my plate?" Xu Ping’an asked with a light chuckle.

"Indeed, you have quite a few. Actually, the Defying Heaven Alliance wants to kill you not only because of your talent but because someone has already laid out plans against you, and that person is likely from the Human Dao Alliance," Xue Hu revealed.

Xu Ping’an was taken aback at these words.

He had not considered this possibility before.

He had thought the Defying Heaven Alliance issued the kill order simply due to their fear and hatred.

But now it seemed that, although his talent was exceptional, it wasn’t enough to make a vast organization like the Defying Heaven Alliance wary.

Xue Hu was right; the Defying Heaven Alliance’s attempt on his life could really be due to the Human Dao Alliance’s schemes.

And the Defying Heaven Alliance might just want to destroy the pieces laid by the Human Dao Alliance.

At this revelation, Xu Ping’an lost all fondness toward the so-called Human Dao Alliance.

"Let’s go, we should head inside," Xu Ping’an said.

After saying that, Xu Ping’an headed toward the spatial entrance, with Xue Hu naturally following behind.
