Rise of the Sword Son-in-Law

Chapter 670 - 669: Immortal Hall Genius

Just as Xu Ping’an and his group were on their way to the Jade Immortal Temple.

In the central district of Dongyuan City, inside a luxurious mansion within a giant fortress.

At this moment, three youths were gathered together, drinking and chatting merrily.

In their arms, each had a beautiful woman with an exceedingly charming appearance and a superb figure, exerting herself to twist her body and feed them wine.

All three youths were dressed in splendid brocade clothes, looking very handsome and dashing.

"Brother Feng, I heard that this time, the Mortal Realm actually got thirteen spots, while our Immortal Hall only has ten. They actually got that many," a youth clad in dark green attire said, his voice tinted with annoyance.

"Indeed, there are ten. I’ve already inquired about it. Originally, they only had seven spots. It was the Immortal Hall from the Heavenly Spirit Realm that gave them three spots," a youth dressed in black said, following up on the comment.

The young man in white sitting at the head seat, however, had a smile on his face as he said, "Isn’t this a good thing?"

"A good thing? Brother Feng, those guys shouldn’t have gotten so many spots in the first place. Our Immortal Hall’s allocation is already so limited, and yet, they got that many. Isn’t it a waste?" the youth in dark green attire said.

"Right, the spots available this time are particularly scarce. Originally, the Four Great Spirit Realms had a total of three hundred spots, all evenly distributed. But this time, the Heavenly Spirit Realm directly took a hundred spots, claiming a third of the total. Following that, the Earth Spirit Realm and the Mystic Spirit Realm each took eighty, leaving only forty for our Jade Spirit Realm," the youth in black clothes responded.

"With only forty spots, the Jade Immortal Sect and Myriad Demons Sect each took ten, and the Mortal Realm got seven out of nowhere, leaving our Immortal Hall with only thirteen. That’s far too few," the youth in dark green attire replied angrily.

Originally, he would have been able to go, but now there were too few spots, and he couldn’t get a turn.

However, the youth in white still laughed lightly.

"You all are too naive. Aren’t those spots from the Mortal Realm ours too? With their spots added, doesn’t our Immortal Hall have twenty? Then you guys can go as well," the youth in white said with a laugh.

"Brother Feng means..." Both youths’ eyes lit up.

The youth in white chuckled and said, "Just think about it. If these so-called geniuses from the Mortal Realm were to die on their way here, wouldn’t the spots revert to our Immortal Hall?"

Upon hearing this, both men’s eyes shone brightly.

"Right, these so-called geniuses. I’ve heard they haven’t even reached the Tenth Rank. Dying on the way would be nothing out of the ordinary," the youth in dark green attire said, immediately delighted.

"Then what are we waiting for? Shall we set off now?" the youth in black clothes said at once.

The youth in white, however, remained seated and said with an unhurried tone, "Thinking of leaving only now is a bit too late. I’ve already made arrangements, so just wait confidently; you’ll definitely get a spot this time."

"Really, thank you so much, Brother Feng. I hadn’t expected that you had already planned everything for us," the youth in dark green attire said, laughing heartily.

"I wonder who Brother Feng sent to do it. I’ve heard that the one going to pick them up is a commander called Du Yuan, whose strength is at the Tenth Rank First Layer Realm," the youth in black clothes inquired.

"A minor commander of the Tenth Rank First Layer Realm is nothing. This time, I’ve sent Yuan Qipeng," the youth known as Brother Feng said with a smile.

"Yuan Qipeng? He’s at the Tenth Rank Sixth Layer Realm. If Brother Feng has sent him, then it’s a sure thing," the youth in dark green attire laughed, thrilled with excitement.

"Yuan Qipeng is indeed strong. That Du Yuan is definitely no match for him. As for those so-called geniuses from the Mortal Realm, they are just a bunch of ants. Without even a Tenth Rank, they still dream of entering that place; it’s practically suicide," the youth in black said with a sneer.

"This time, thanks to Brother Feng. When I return, I’ll definitely have my father prepare a generous gift to thank you," said the youth in dark green attire.

"Right, if we can enter that place this time, it will all be thanks to Brother Feng," the youth in black chimed in with a smile.

"No need to mention it. Once we’re there, we’ll need to help each other out. Helping you is helping myself," the youth in white said with a grin.

"But if we really kill them, I’m afraid the Yunfeng Hall won’t let it go so easily," the youth in green attire remarked.

"Them? Even if they don’t let it go, what can they do?" the youth in black said disdainfully.

"You don’t need to worry about them. They’re just a bunch of lower-class mortals from the Lower Realm. Do they really think they can stand firm in the Spirit Realm? If they dare make trouble, do you think the other halls will let them off the hook?" the youth in white disdainfully said.

Upon hearing this, both the youth in green attire and the youth in black couldn’t help but laugh, embracing the beautiful women in their arms and taking big gulps of their drinks.

...

Xu Ping’an was unaware of these matters. At this moment, they had already entered the city.

Songmu City!

According to Du Yuan, Songmu City was once the cultivation site of a Demon Beast of the pine tree order that made this place its Dao ground.

Eventually, this pine tree-ordered Demon Beast actually achieved the Immortal Emperor Level, becoming incredibly powerful.

However, it was said that later on, he angered the heavenly dao and was struck by thunder, ultimately perishing here.

Xu Ping’an naturally had a skeptical attitude towards such tales.

For a Demon Plant to give birth to an Immortal Emperor Level powerhouse was extremely rare.

One should know that the cultivation of Demon Beasts is already much more difficult than that of humans, and for Demon Plants, it’s even ten to a hundred times more challenging.

Just the process of them awakening their intelligence is incredibly lengthy.

However, once such a Demon Plant becomes a cultivator, its value is incomparably immense.

Every part of them is a treasure, especially the fruit they bear, which is exceptionally precious.

Take, for instance, this pine tree Demon Plant, upon reaching the Immortal Emperor Level, the pine tree fruit it bore would be equivalent to a Twelfth Rank Immortal Pill.

After all, it would be a fruit condensed by a Twelfth Rank Immortal Emperor.

As for the so-called affront to the heavenly dao at the end of the legend, Xu Ping’an believed it was impossible.

The heavenly dao wouldn’t care about them.

If it were true, then it was likely that a powerful being used the Thunder Dao Principle to kill it.

Of course, these were all events from the distant past, and Xu Ping’an wasn’t overly concerned about them.

At the moment, he was walking through the city, feeling the familiar atmosphere of the Spirit Realm.

Meanwhile, Song Lingxue was looking around excitedly, even occasionally buying some curious and strange items.

Du Yuan, seemingly because of Xu Ping’an, didn’t urge them on.

However, Xu Ping’an soon furrowed his eyebrows, glancing behind them now and then.

Just then, he had clearly felt a murderous intent directed at them.
