Rise of the Sword Son-in-Law

Chapter 628 - 627: Destiny’s Return

All three tokens have been found?

Xu Ping’an obtaining one token was known to them.

But who obtained the other two tokens?

This question arose in everyone’s hearts.

Among them, many had yet to collect all three items; some had two, while others only had one.

Now that all three tokens had been found, it meant that the other two tokens must be among the items these people had acquired.

"Everyone take out the items you have obtained. If they are tokens, they will resonate with each other upon sight, and then we will naturally know who has the tokens," said an elder from Tianlong Hall in a cold voice.

Upon hearing this, the brows of those around him slightly furrowed.

By revealing their items now, wouldn’t those with tokens be easily robbed?

Yet, if they didn’t take them out, perhaps they wouldn’t even know if they had a token in their possession, right?

For a moment, some people were torn.

To display or not to display?

"Let’s all take them out together. If we don’t know they are tokens, they’re useless kept hidden. And if it turns out they are tokens, those who possess them shall have the right to the inheritance. How does that sound?" Lan Jing stood up and proposed.

"I have no objections," Xue Dong spoke.

"Nor do I," Zhao Hanxing responded.

"I, from the Earth Divine Sect, also have no objections," an elder from the Earth Divine Sect followed.

Soon after, Tianlong Hall and Imperial Academy also expressed no objections.

As a result, even the elders of some smaller factions with talented individuals hesitated but dared not oppose the idea.

Xu Ping’an stood on the side without voicing an opinion.

The elder from Tianlong Hall turned to look at Xu Ping’an, seemingly wanting to say something.

But Xu Ping’an stared him down with a look.

Nowadays, Xu Ping’an was no longer someone they could manipulate easily.

Seeing Xu Ping’an taking no stance, no one else spoke up.

After all, there were few present who could defeat Xu Ping’an.

Quickly, everyone took out their items.

Some held books, others held Sword Manuals, and some had pens, while a few had Pill Furnaces...

In short, there were many different kinds, totaling nearly two hundred items.

However, when these treasures were presented, no resonance occurred as they had mentioned.

"What’s going on? Why is there no resonance? Could it be that the tokens do not resonate with each other?" someone asked in surprise.

"Could it be that all the items must be present for the resonance to occur?" another person suggested.

Upon hearing this, the crowd’s gaze turned to Xu Ping’an.

Clearly, they were implying that Xu Ping’an previously obtained a chess piece.

Without the chess piece, there was no way to achieve resonance.

Xu Ping’an initially just wanted to watch the show, but seeing that everyone’s attention was on him, he showed a hint of a helpless expression on his face.

"Brother Xu, please take out the chess piece. Rest assured, no one will snatch it from you," Xue Dong spoke up.

"Can you guarantee that?" Xu Ping’an looked at the elders from Tianlong Hall and Earth Divine Sect as he asked.

Xue Dong was taken aback by Xu Ping’an’s question, unsure of what to say for a moment.

"I can guarantee it. If anyone tries to seize your token, I, Lan Jing, will be the first to disagree," Lan Jing declared.

One must admit, this woman had quite the resolve.

Xu Ping’an was somewhat surprised by Lan Jing’s words.

"I can also guarantee it," Zhao Hanxing chimed in.

Xu Ping’an gave Zhao Hanxing a look, and the latter subconsciously turned his head to the side, unable to meet Xu Ping’an’s gaze.

Xu Ping’an smiled.

"Since you all say so, I shall take it out. But let me be frank, if anyone dares to snatch my token, don’t blame me, Xu Ping’an, for being ruthless," Xu Ping’an threatened.

Upon Xu Ping’an’s words, many still showed a wary expression.

The elders from Earth Divine Sect and Tianlong Hall furrowed their brows, deep in thought.

Xu Ping’an didn’t waste any more words and took out the chess piece.

Nonetheless, when the chess piece appeared, no resonance occurred.

All the items remained still.

At that moment, everyone was stunned.

What was happening, and why was there no reaction?

"Could it be that the signal items don’t resonate with each other?" Someone voiced the doubt in their mind.

"No, that’s impossible. The signal items must resonate with each other. Only when they resonate with one another will the inheritance appear," an elder from Tianlong Hall immediately said.

"Then why is this happening? Could it be that we’re not close enough?" Xue Hu also raised his skepticism.

Hearing this, everyone quickly gathered together.

However, the result was still the same.

"Could it be that someone has not brought out all the items they’ve obtained?" an elder from Earth Divine Sect said coldly on the spot.

His gaze was fierce as he looked around at everyone.

Everyone shook their heads; they had already taken out everything they were supposed to.

For a moment, everyone was completely baffled.

Ping’an looked at the dumbfounded expressions of the crowd, and a trace of confusion appeared on his face too.

"Brother Xu, didn’t you receive two other signal items? Take them out and have a look," Gongsun Bing said with a smile from the side.

Upon hearing this, everyone’s gaze turned towards Xu Ping’an.

Could it be?

This guy has such good luck?

He got two signal items?

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Xu Ping’an was also somewhat amused and helpless.

However, he too was curious. Could he really have obtained two signal items?

With this thought in mind, Xu Ping’an took out the last plaque he had obtained.

The moment the plaque was taken out, it immediately shone with light and was attracted to a chess piece.

"Two signal items. He really did get two signal items," someone exclaimed.

Everyone was somewhat surprised. Could it really be that Xu Ping’an was so fortunate to have obtained two signal items?

Even Zhao Hanxing was taken aback as he looked at Xu Ping’an.

What kind of luck was this?

"No, if two signal items can resonate, then where is the third one?" Someone voiced the doubt in their heart.

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone became suspicious and uncertain.

But soon, everyone turned their gaze back to Xu Ping’an, as it seemed he was the only one at the scene who had not yet taken out an item.

"Don’t tell me it’s that statue?" The person who had previously mocked Xu Ping’an for taking the statue spoke in astonishment.

"The statue? Are you talking about that monkey statue at the entrance on the first floor?" Lan Jing and others were also full of confusion.

"Exactly, I saw this guy take away that statue. I even laughed at him for taking a statue. Could it really be that statue?" a genius from Heaven Beyond Heavens immediately exclaimed.

Everyone looked at Xu Ping’an in shock.

They had all seen that statue, but they all thought it impossible for the statue to be a signal item.

Could it really be that statue?

"Quick, Brother Xu, take it out quickly. If it really is that statue, then the inheritance from Fenghe Immortal Emperor will belong only to you," Xue Hu immediately said.

Everyone involuntarily took a deep breath.

A single person monopolizing the inheritance?

What kind of damn luck was this?

Xu Ping’an was also full of surprise at the moment. He had originally also thought that the statue was not a signal item, simply intending to take it to study the swordsmanship inscribed upon it later.

But now, it seemed highly possible that the statue was one.

So Xu Ping’an took out the statue.

And as the statue appeared, it directly resonated with the chess piece and the plaque.

The next moment, the three items instantly converged, and finally fused into a wooden sword.

Seeing this wooden sword, everyone was utterly astonished.

Was it really the statue?

All three signal items had been obtained by Xu Ping’an alone?

What did this mean?

Was this destiny?
