Rise of the Sword Son-in-Law

Chapter 648: Direct Disciple of Great Luo Heaven

"The trouble has really escalated now. You’ve killed the Direct Disciple of the Great Luo Heaven’s Heavenly Master. The Great Luo Heaven will definitely seek revenge," said Yan Zhenling.

"So what?" Xu Ping’an was unconcerned.

"Aren’t you afraid? The Heavenly Master of the Great Luo Heaven is a powerful cultivator at the Peak of the Immortal Emperor Level," Liu Yan added.

"It doesn’t matter. These Immortal Emperor Level cultivators do not dare to easily come to the Mortal Realm," Xu Ping’an said with a smile.

He had guessed as much already.

These Immortal Emperor Level cultivators all have things they fear, things they clearly dread.

They would absolutely not make a move over a mere disciple.

This was also the reason for Xu Ping’an’s brazenness.

Yan Zhenling shook her head helplessly, clearly thinking that Xu Ping’an had no idea of the power of these Immortal Emperor Level cultivators.

How could the powerful cultivators at the Peak of the Immortal Emperor Level possibly fear coming to the Mortal Realm?

Xu Ping’an didn’t explain much but instead looked at them and asked, "What exactly happened here?"

Hearing Xu Ping’an’s question, Yan Zhenling and the others exchanged glances before explaining, "These people slaughtered everyone here, seemingly intending to take this little girl away. We happened to be passing by and got into a fight with them."

Xu Ping’an looked at the girl unconsciously.

What was so special about this little girl that she warranted the attention of the Direct Disciples from Heaven Beyond Heavens?

Seemingly noticing Xu Ping’an’s gaze, the little girl, frightened, took a subconscious step back, her eyes filled with terror.

Xu Ping’an paid no mind and turned his attention to the black-clothed people preparing to flee, "They’re not from Great Luo Heaven, are they?"

"No, they’re not. They’re from the Corpse Puppet Sect of the Earth Spirit Realm. Our Tiankui Sect from the Immortal Dynasty originated from the Corpse Puppet Sect," replied Yan Zhenling.

"I see. Then they cannot be allowed to remain," Xu Ping’an thought.

The Holy Sword turned into a stream of light and shot straight out.

In an instant, it pierced through the bodies of the black-clothed people.

"Aaah..."

A series of screams erupted.

These cultivators were quickly slain by Xu Ping’an’s Holy Sword.

They stood no chance of fighting back.

Even the leader in black robes couldn’t withstand an attack from Xu Ping’an.

The Sword Radiance of the Holy Sword penetrated his chest. The Chaotic Flame contained within the sword incinerated his physical body and soul to ashes instantly.

Seeing this, Yan Zhenling and Liu Yan exchanged astonished looks, both seeing the surprise in each other’s eyes.

Just now, even the two of them together were no match for the black-robed powerhouse.

Yet this young man managed to kill him with just a release of Soul Power in the form of a Flying Sword.

What terrifying strength this was.

Zhou Mengyue was also dumbfounded.

Was this young man really that powerful?

"Pre... Predecessor, may I ask your name?" Yan Zhenling hesitated but still asked the question.

"My name? You don’t have the right to know yet. I’ve heard your Eternal Palace’s Hall Master is a genius, and I have come for him," Xu Ping’an said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Yan Zhenling and Liu Yan’s expressions changed at once.

This person had come for Xu Ping’an?

Could he be an enemy of Xu Ping’an’s?

This could be troublesome. With this young man’s strength, how could Xu Ping’an possibly stand a chance?

"I really don’t know where our Hall Master is. He’s not in the Great Qin Immortal Dynasty," Liu Yan said with a smile after considering it.

"Naturally, it is to slay him. I’ve heard he’s quite arrogant, and I would like to meet him," Xu Ping’an replied with a light laugh.

Yan Zhenling and the others looked even more solemn.

This person was indeed here to cause trouble.

If he were to meet their Hall Master, it would be very problematic.

"Our Hall Master truly isn’t in the Great Qin Immortal Dynasty, and as for where he is, we don’t know," said Yan Zhenling.

"I don’t believe a word you say. You there," Xu Ping’an turned to Zhou Mengyue, "tell me."

Zhou Mengyue was in the middle of reconnecting the bones in her arm when Xu Ping’an posed the question, and she was slightly startled.

"I... I also don’t know," Zhou Mengyue responded.

"You don’t know? Then I might as well kill you," Xu Ping’an threatened.

"Even if you kill me, I still wouldn’t know," Zhou Mengyue retorted through clenched teeth.

Xu Ping’an was a bit taken aback.

Logically, Zhou Mengyue should harbor resentment toward him.

Yet she didn’t reveal his whereabouts?

This, indeed, surprised Xu Ping’an.

"Enough, I won’t tease you any longer," Xu Ping’an said with a light laugh.

He revealed his true face.

Upon seeing Xu Ping’an’s face, everyone was startled.

Xu Ping’an?

This youth is Xu Ping’an?

Zhou Mengyue was also surprised, a flash of brilliance crossing her eyes, but it quickly faded.

"You scared me to death, Hall Master. I thought someone really came to seek vengeance against you," Liu Yan said flirtatiously.

Yan Zhenling also let out a sigh of relief, a smile appearing on her face, and her eyes toward Xu Ping’an became filled with immense respect.

"Master!" Yan Zhenling immediately bowed in salute.

Xu Ping’an waved his hand and said, "There’s no need for such formalities, you did well."

Hearing Xu Ping’an’s praise, a smile also appeared on Yan Zhenling’s face.

"Liu Yan pays respect to the Hall Master," Liu Yan also followed with a bow, her flirtatious gaze locked on Xu Ping’an as she spoke.

It was almost as if she was about to throw herself into his arms.

"You may stand as well. I didn’t expect you to break through to Demi Immortal; it seems the resources of the Eternal Palace have been quite substantial," Xu Ping’an commented with a smile.

"This is all thanks to the resources you left, Hall Master. I heard that this time, Hall Master, you’ve slain quite a few Tenth Rank cultivators?" Liu Yan said with a beaming smile.

"Most of them have been used up by me, but here are some Elixirs and Immortal Herbs, as well as ten carrying items. Take them back with you; some for your own cultivation, and the rest to see who has potential to nurture," Xu Ping’an said.

After speaking, he tossed the storage ring to Yan Zhenling.

"Thank you, Hall Master," Yan Zhenling replied.

Liu Yan was also delighted beyond measure.

With these resources, they could break through to Tenth Rank.

"By the way, where is Gu Lingyan? Still in the Eternal Palace?" Xu Ping’an inquired.

"Hall Master, I was just about to discuss this matter with you. Vice Hall Master Gu has left; she was taken away by force by a powerful individual. But that person should be acquainted with Hall Master Gu. It seemed like they were family of Vice Hall Master Gu," Yan Zhenling reported.

"Then let’s not bother with her; her family must have noticed her absence and taken her back," Xu Ping’an said, gesturing dismissively.

Yan Zhenling nodded.

Finally, Xu Ping’an turned his gaze to Zhou Mengyue, who stood aside.

Her eyes were complicated, and she dared not look at Xu Ping’an.

Xu Ping’an hesitated for a moment before infusing an Indestructible Force into Zhou Mengyue’s body.

The next moment, Zhou Mengyue’s arm visibly began to heal at a rapid pace, and her internal organs slowly mended as well.

Seeing this sight, Zhou Mengyue was astonished beyond belief.

After a moment of hesitation, she eventually spoke up, "Tha... thank you, Hall Master."

"No need to thank me. If it weren’t for the fact that you let me leave before, you might very well be dead by now," Xu Ping’an said coldly.

"So, you were here all along?" Zhou Mengyue asked.

"Yes, what about it? Did you want me to save you?" Xu Ping’an said with a sneer.

Zhou Mengyue’s eyes dimmed instantly.

"I understand. I will never harbor any false hopes again. The debt I, Zhou Mengyue, owe you will be repaid one day," Zhou Mengyue declared.

"As you wish. Just remember that I can take your life at any time," Xu Ping’an said icily.

The next moment, he no longer paid any attention to Zhou Mengyue and turned to look at the little girl.

He was curious why the people of Great Luo Heaven were so interested in a mortal girl.

Moreover, as he drew closer to the young girl, the copper within him seemed to vibrate even more intensely.
