Rise of the Sword Son-in-Law

Chapter 735 - 734: The Strange Power of Dao Principles

"Yao’er, why did you pull me down?" Immortal Auntie Yu asked angrily.

Du Bingxin also had a solemn look on her face as she gazed at the Purple Cloud Mountain enveloped in the purple haze, her eyes filled with complexity.

"It’s useless, you can’t save him, that’s Qin Yuan’s Twelfth Rank Immortal Talisman, even if you went, you couldn’t break through, staying up there would just be risking your life in vain," Gongsun Yao replied.

"But…" Immortal Auntie Yu still wanted to say something, but she also knew that Gongsun Yao was right.

The prohibition formed by the Twelfth Rank Immortal Talisman was something not even her methods could break through.

Otherwise, even if Gongsun Yao wanted to pull her away, that would not have been possible.

In fact, Du Bingxin felt the same, which is why she didn’t resist when Gongsun Yao was pulling her away.

"Haha, Xu Ping’an hasn’t come out, I’m afraid he’s already died inside," Xing Feng laughed heartily.

"That’s natural, even if Xu Ping’an doesn’t die, he’d still never be able to come out again. The purple clouds contain an extremely powerful Power of Dao Principles, not just for us, even those in the Immortal Emperor Realm would undoubtedly die if they entered, he couldn’t possibly come out again," Qin Yuan sneered.

Hearing this, the people around felt a great sense of loss.

They had not expected such a peerless genius to fall here.

After all, this was someone who could contend with Qin Yuan, and he was only at the Tenth Rank First Layer Realm now.

If he were truly allowed to grow, his potential would be unmatched even by Qin Yuan in the future.

It was a pity he was now dead.

"Hmph, if anyone’s to blame, it’s Xu Ping’an himself for being too arrogant. Dying on this Purple Cloud Mountain is the consequence of his own actions," Xing Feng scoffed.

Immortal Auntie Yu clenched her fists tightly, anger gleaming in her eyes.

Initially, she had just felt a fondness for Xu Ping’an without too much emotional investment.

But ever since Xu Ping’an was willing to give her the Immortal Emperor’s Dao Principle, she started to have feelings for him.

Over the years, she had been under immense pressure.

Watching her father grow weaker each day, her mother anxious and fretting over the Immortal Hall matter, growing haggard day and night.

She had always wanted to do something to alleviate her parents’ worries.

But with her limited strength, there was nothing she could do.

It was Xu Ping’an who was willing to offer the Immortal Emperor’s Dao Principle to save her father.

Though Xu Ping’an had merely been keeping a promise, for Immortal Auntie Yu,

To her, Xu Ping’an was saving the entire Immortal Hall, everything that was hers.

Therefore, Xu Ping’an was more to her than just a benefactor.

Now that these people were harming Xu Ping’an, how could she not be furious?

"Qin Yuan, I will kill you to avenge Xu Ping’an," murder flashed in Immortal Auntie Yu’s eyes.

"Ah, what a pity. I had hoped his Chaotic Flame might help me eliminate my inner poison. I didn’t expect him to die like this," Gongsun Yao sighed.

"I think Xu Ping’an isn’t so easy to kill," Du Bingxin, on the other hand, spoke up.

"Not so easy to kill? These purple clouds contain extremely powerful Power of Dao Principles, and they fundamentally cannot be absorbed. They’re wildly violent, and falling into them means being eroded by these powers, almost certainly death. Xu Ping’an, no matter how strong, can’t possibly be that invincible," Gongsun Yao shook her head.

"Do you think it’s possible that he went to the mid-mountain? Entered that palace?" Immortal Auntie Yu asked hopefully.

"It’s not very likely. Let’s not mention that the palace isn’t so easy to enter, to reach the mid-mountain in such a short time seems impossible," Gongsun Yao said.

"But without the pressure of the Dao Laws, perhaps he truly had a chance," Du Bingxin said.

"The likelihood is slim. At that time, the fog spread quickly, and it started from the direction of the mid-mountain, his way back was probably already blocked, and there was still a great distance to the mid-mountain. The chances of him reaching it are slim," Gongsun Yao explained.

Hearing this, both Du Bingxin and Immortal Auntie Yu’s hearts trembled.

They both knew Gongsun Yao was right; the hope for Xu Ping’an to reach the mid-mountain was not great.

"Has Xu Ping’an truly died?" Immortal Auntie Yu clenched her fists tightly, her heart throbbing with intense sorrow that flooded her mind.

She felt an indescribable pain in her heart.

"Xianlan, Xu Ping’an may have been a great talent, but now that he’s dead, you shouldn’t be too saddened," Gongsun Yao comforted.

"I want to wait here for him, maybe he will come out again," Yu Xianlan said.

Gongsun Yao shook her head helplessly.

Come out?

How could that be possible?

Not to mention whether Xu Ping’an could still survive, even if he could, it wasn’t possible that he would come out again.

Only those who have experienced it know how terrifying Purple Cloud Mountain truly is.

Even touching it for a moment could result in the Power of Dao Principles eroding both the physical body and soul.

So she didn’t believe for a second that Xu Ping’an would come out.

"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!"

Many people flew away rapidly.

Qin Yuan, Qi Xuanbo, and others also left the place.

Purple Cloud Mountain’s path hurriedly closed, though the reason for its closure was unknown.

It was mostly unlikely to open again now, so the only choice left was to leave the area.

Shortly, only Yu Xianlan, her two companions, and Immortal Auntie Yu, who was of the Immortal Emperor Realm, remained.

"Xianlan, let’s go," Immortal Auntie Yu flew over and said somberly.

"My dear aunt, I want to wait a little longer," Yu Xianlan said.

Yet Immortal Auntie Yu shook her head, "He won’t come out again. The Power of Dao Principles contained within this Purple Cloud is extremely terrifying, even I dare not touch it. If he is trapped inside, it’s nearly impossible for him to come out," Immortal Auntie Yu said.

Hearing this, the sliver of hope in Yu Xianlan’s eyes shattered instantly.

Du Bingxin also remained silent, her expression grave.

"Let’s go. Staying here is useless. If he can really make it out, you will see him again," Immortal Auntie Yu said.

Upon hearing this, Yu Xianlan sighed and took one last look at the purple mist-enshrouded mountain, "Let’s go."

Seeing Yu Xianlan agree, a faint smile appeared on Immortal Auntie Yu’s face.

However, she knew that Yu Xianlan’s inner confusion was probably not so easily resolved.

It was the same with Du Bingxin.

Soon, Immortal Auntie Yu led the three women away from that place.

As they left, Purple Cloud Mountain became completely deserted, returning to its former tranquility.

However, at the midsection of Purple Cloud Mountain, where no one knew, Xu Ping’an was currently making a ragged appearance in the plaza.

"Lucky for me, I had the Demon Elephant Tower. I hid inside just in time, controlling the demon tower to get here, or else the purple Dao Power would have eroded my entire physical body," Xu Ping’an said somewhat frightfully.

Initially, when he saw his path was blocked, he headed towards the mountainside.

He then discovered that the path ahead was quickly being covered by the purple mist, so he attempted to force his way through.

But just as he came into contact with this purple force, his physical body began to corrode, showing signs of dissolution.

No matter whether he used Immortal Elemental or the Power of Dao Principles for defense, it was futile.

Frightened, he had no choice but to hide inside the Demon Elephant Tower.

Luckily, the Demon Elephant Tower wasn’t eroded by the purple Dao Power, which saved him from disaster.

"That was close. I almost died here," Xu Ping’an murmured to himself.

At this moment, as he raised his head to look behind him, he was enveloped in a thick purple fog.

"What on earth is this Dao Power, to be so terrifying that even my Dao Power can’t withstand it?" Xu Ping’an thought, filled with confusion and disbelief.

This Dao Power was extremely frightening; it could even erode his own Dao Power.

This made Xu Ping’an feel as if it were beyond comprehension.
