Rise of the Sword Son-in-Law

Chapter 708 - 707: Unexpected Visitor

"Is this Xu Brother’s doing?" Qin Mu asked in astonishment.

"Mhm, it should be. If I’m not mistaken, this Tang Jun has angered Xu Ping’an and brought his master to cause trouble. Xu Ping’an can’t enter the Immortal Hall Academy, and I fear it’s also his doing." Tang Qingyu analyzed.

Qin Mu nodded, indeed that was a possibility.

In reality, those cultivators coming from the Mortal Realm, the Academy of the Immortal Hall wouldn’t go out of their way to gather intelligence on them.

If the Immortal Hall knew of Xu Ping’an’s situation, it was mostly because someone had reported it.

"This Tang Jun got what he deserved, daring to plot against my master; he asked for it," Song Lingxue cursed angrily.

She was eager to go up and stab a few more times into Tang Jun’s corpse.

"However, this might bring some trouble to Xu Brother now, as the Immortal Hall Academy forbids internal fighting," Qin Mu said.

"But Xu Ping’an is not a member of the Immortal Hall," Tang Qingyu stated.

"That might even be more troublesome," Qin Mu said.

Hearing this, both Tang Qingyu and Song Lingxue frowned.

With their current power and status, they could do nothing.

...

At this moment, these elders were also looking at Xu Ping’an, with the Heavenly Academy’s Dean’s immense pressure still bearing down on Xu Ping’an like a giant mountain.

"Xu Ping’an, do you know what the crime is for killing a student of the Immortal Hall Academy?" the Dean of the Heavenly Academy asked, frowning.

Although Xu Ping’an had displayed impressive strength, which was somewhat astonishing to him,

he could only make the best out of the mistake, with so many eyes watching.

"What crime? He planned against me first, and now he wants his master to kill me. I didn’t kill his master, so I’ve already shown mercy," Xu Ping’an said.

"Hmph, still daring to argue, we all saw it; it was clearly you who injured someone first," an elder from the Elixir Academy immediately scolded.

Xu Ping’an frowned, his gaze sharp.

It was useless to say more, these people would not speak in his favor.

"So, what do you want to do?" Xu Ping’an asked coldly.

"Naturally, you must pay with your life. Daring to harm our academy’s elders and kill a disciple of the Immortal Hall, we must not only kill you but also hang your corpse under the Hanging City for three months to show everyone," the Elixir Academy elder said.

The other elders nodded in agreement.

Some elders hesitated, seeing the strength displayed by Xu Ping’an, it seemed his talent was even more terrifying than they had imagined.

It would be a pity to kill such a genius.

But since they had already chased people away before, it would be somewhat embarrassing to try to win him back now.

Therefore, they didn’t speak either, letting the Dean of the Heavenly Academy decide everything.

At this moment, all eyes were on the Dean of the Heavenly Academy.

The Dean furrowed his brows slightly and eventually spoke coldly, "Since that’s the case, then execute him, hang the corpse for three months to rectify the atmosphere."

"The Dean is wise," the elder said with a cold laugh.

After speaking, he walked towards Xu Ping’an, preparing to land the killing blow.

Upon seeing this, Song Lingxue immediately tried to rush out, but Tang Qingyu held her back.

"Why are you holding me back? They want to kill my master," Song Lingxue cried out in agitation.

"Don’t rush, going over there is pointless, Xu Ping’an won’t just sit and wait for death," Tang Qingyu said solemnly, her fists clenched as she spoke.

"Junior Sister Tang is right, Xu Ping’an won’t just sit and wait for death, we truly can’t help him by going over there," Qin Mu sighed.

This was the Immortal Hall, where they had no power or sufficient influence to offer any help.

"Hmph, if anything happens to my master, I won’t let off anyone present," Song Lingxue said with red eyes, looking almost insane.

Tang Qingyu’s heart fluttered, and her eyes also surged with a cold intent.

Xu Ping’an regarded the Elixir Academy elder approaching him with an equally grave expression.

The oppressive force was still present, making it very difficult to resist, and this old man in front of him was an Eleventh Rank, Sixth Layer Realm powerhouse.

To deal with the elder’s attack while resisting this pressure was going to be very challenging.

Furthermore, there were thirty-some Eleventh Rank powerhouses nearby.

What to do?

Xu Ping’an’s thoughts raced.

He quickly made a decision; if it came down to it, he would just burn a Fire Attribute Dao Principle.

Although this would cause great backlash, it was still much better than losing his life.

"Kid, meet your end. Daring to kill a person from my Elixir Academy, today shall be your day of death," the elder said with a cold laugh.

In his eyes looking at Xu Ping’an, there was nothing but disdain.

The next moment, he was about to mobilize his Immortal Elemental to deliver a fatal blow to Xu Ping’an.

Xu Ping’an’s eyes sharpened, ready to burn the Dao Principle and catch the elder before him off guard.

"Stop!"

However, just at that moment, a scolding voice suddenly rang out.

A figure arrived, walking on air, and appeared directly in front of Xu Ping’an.

The surrounding people all showed surprised expressions.

Why had she come?

The many elders were also surprised, their faces serious as they watched the unexpected figure.

Xu Ping’an also looked in astonishment at the woman who had appeared suddenly.

The woman was stunningly beautiful, in a white dress, like a fairy descending to earth.

"It’s Du Bingxin, why has she come?"

"God, Sister Du has actually appeared, she’s so beautiful! It’s said that she’s almost reached Eleventh Rank and ranks thirty on the Genius List—a rare talent."

"Yeah, Sister Du’s talent is counted among the best in the whole Jade Spirit Realm, but what is she doing here, does she know Xu Ping’an?"

...

The confusion was clear on everyone’s faces.

"Who is she?" Song Lingxue also asked, puzzled.

"She’s the Saintess of the Sun and Moon Pavilion, a very famous genius within the academy. I didn’t expect her to come; does she know Xu Brother?" Qin Mu said with surprise.

"The Saintess of the Sun and Moon Pavilion? She’s so beautiful?" Song Lingxue said, slightly jealous.

The woman in front of her was indeed extraordinarily beautiful, making her feel truly dazzled.

Tang Qingyu said quietly, "Maybe she has a way to save Xu Ping’an."

Hearing this, Song Lingxue did not continue to speak.

"Saintess Du, what are you doing here?" the Dean of the Heavenly Academy asked.

"I am naturally here to prevent you from killing a rare genius," Du Bingxin said.

"A rare genius, you mean this person?" the Dean said.

"Yes, that’s him," Du Bingxin replied.

Hearing Du Bingxin’s answer, everyone was surprised once again.

So Du Bingxin really came to protect Xu Ping’an.

Does this guy really know Du Bingxin?
