Rise of the Sword Son-in-Law

Chapter 80 Elder Yu Xin

"Greeted the Tenth Elder."

Tang Qingheng and Long Yan exchanged a glance, both wearing a bitter expression.

They had not expected that it would be the Tenth Elder accompanying them to Tianchen Island.

The Tenth Elder, they were quite familiar with.

It has to be said, the Tenth Elder indeed had a good appearance, and a superior grade figure, very plump.

But none of them wished to interact too much with the Tenth Elder, not for any other reason but mainly because of the Tenth Elder’s exceedingly peculiar personality.

"Tang Qingheng, Long Yan, Zhao Kai, how many times have I told you to call me Sister Yu, constantly calling me Tenth Elder, makes me seem so old." Yu Xin said with a captivating smile.

"Yes, Sister Yu!" Tang Qingheng and the others said helplessly.

"That’s more like it." Yu Xin said with a satisfied pat on Tang Qingheng’s shoulder, laughing.

She then turned her gaze to Li Qingyi and Xu Ping’an.

"Qingyi ah, you really have grown more and more beautiful, even a woman like me envies you, not to mention how you must dazzle all those stinky men." Yu Xin chuckled.

"Sister Yu, you’ve also become more and more beautiful, especially that figure, growing plumper, I fear you don’t know how many disciples, Elders, and even the Sect Leader covet your body." Li Qingyi responded with a smile.

"Cough cough!"

Many men in the great hall turned awkward.

Even Dugu Tianyu wore an unnatural expression.

"You girl, talking nonsense." Yu Xin said, her laugh particularly charming.

Xu Ping’an finally understood.

If Li Qingyi could be described as cool and stunning, then this Yu Xin was enchantingly seductive.

This, in a way, was somewhat different from Zhou Mengyue, who was born with a Charming Body.

Yu Xin’s seductiveness mainly lied in her audacity.

"So you’re Xu Ping’an, not bad, you do have a handsome face," Yu Xin commented with a laugh as she appraised Xu Ping’an.

"You flatter me, Sister Yu, I don’t rely on my face to make a living," Xu Ping’an responded.

"Pfft!"

Yu Xin was amused to laughter.

"Quite an interesting lad, much more interesting than Tang Qingheng and those three boys, no wonder Li Qingyi has taken a fancy to you," Yu Xin said laughing.

Xu Ping’an just smiled slightly, without a response.

"Alright, Yu Xin, let’s talk business," Dugu Tianyu reminded.

Upon hearing this, Yu Xin stopped the chatter and her expression became somewhat serious, "This trip to Tianchen Island, we need to take a ship along the Tianlong river basin downstream; the area is rife with demon beasts in the water and is extremely dangerous. However, the most dangerous place is still Tianchen Island."

"On Tianchen Island, there are many mutated demon beasts, and they are extremely powerful. There are many Third Rank and Fourth Rank demon beasts, and there might even be Fifth Rank ones."

Upon hearing this, Tang Qingheng became aware of the peril involved in going to Tianchen Island.

"There’s probably more than that; I’ve heard that near the Tianlong river basin, there are a large number of bandits and hunting groups," Xu Ping’an said.

"That’s correct, the real danger is not the demon beasts, but the hunting teams from the Tianlong river areas. Among these teams are many Third Rank and Fourth Rank experts. They mainly earn their keep by hunting demon beasts, and these people are unscrupulous. We must be vigilant when we encounter them," Yu Xin stated.

Tang Qingheng and the others nodded their heads.

"Alright, you all go back and prepare. We set off early tomorrow morning and will assemble at the dock," Yu Xin instructed.

"The Heavenly Star Stones are now in your hands; whether we can restore the Demon-suppressing Sword Formation now depends on all of you," Dugu Tianyu stated gravely.

Everyone responded with a salute.

They then left the great hall.

Xu Ping’an also returned to his own residence to make preparations.

He was also greatly interested in the trip to Tianchen Island.

However, he was not interested in the Spirit of Wood, but in the Monster Cores of those mutated demon beasts.

Others might not know about these Monster Cores, but he understood clearly.

Such Monster Cores could be used to enhance the physical body and could also be infused into Spiritual Artifacts to strengthen them.

They were treasures not inferior to the Spirit of Wood.

And of course, there were the Heavenly Star Stones themselves, excellent materials for Refinement of the Sword Array.

If he could obtain them, then making his own Sword Array someday would offer him an additional means to save his life.

So when there were Heavenly Star Stones on Tianchen Island, Xu Ping’an was already tempted.

The night passed without words.

Early the next morning, Xu Ping’an arrived on time at the Beichen Sword Sect dock.

And Li Qingyi, Tang Qingheng, and the other two had already arrived.

After exchanging greetings, they silently waited for Yu Xin’s arrival.

Soon, a giant ship slowly sailed up from the distant Tianlong River.

The massive ship was a good forty meters, enormous in size.

Of course, the most eye-catching feature was the huge dragon head placed at the bow.

It was the head of an Ironclad Fire Dragon, a Fifth Rank Demon Beast.

The dragon head was immense, emitting an extremely fierce and violent aura.

Especially those bizarre, yellow, and huge vertical pupils, they gave off an exceedingly bloodthirsty and savage feeling.

This dragon head, slain by the master of the Beichen Sword Sect, was mounted on this giant ship. Hence, the ship was known as the Fire Dragon Boat.

In this way, it could deter some of the water region’s demon beasts to a certain extent.

Tang Qingheng, Long Yan, and Zhao Kai were all shocked by the gigantic dragon head.

Even Li Qingyi was taken aback.

Xu Ping’an, however, was incomparably calm, although he had never seen a real dragon.

But he had once slain an Eleventh Rank Xuan Tian Black Dragon, a true overlord of the Demon Race, with a body length of seven to eight hundred meters and terrifyingly powerful strength.

Compared to that Xuan Tian Black Dragon, this Ironclad Fire Dragon seemed quite insignificant.

"Get on board; we’re setting off," Yu Xin stood at the bow, clad in a red suit of Battle Armor, looking exceptionally valiant.

Xu Ping’an and the others leaped onto the Fire Dragon Boat.

Besides Yu Xin, there were three others on the boat.

One was Liu, an Outer Sect Elder responsible for steering the vessel, with strength in the Seventh Layer of the Meridian Opening Realm.

The other two Outer Sect Elders, proficient in water skills and at the Ninth Layer of the Meridian Opening Realm, were named Huang An and Song Yang.

Thus, a group of nine people set off downstream along the Tianlong River.

The Tianlong River was quite wide, easily spanning over three hundred meters, and the water depth was also extremely profound.

The deepest part was probably over two hundred meters.

Beneath this water region, many aquatic demon beasts were hidden, their numbers even greater than in the Wilderness Forest.

On both banks of the Tianlong River were mountains and dense forests, from which beast roars were occasionally heard.

Making it to this place alive was usually a nine in ten chance of death.

Xu Ping’an stood at the bow, looking at the mountains on both banks, lost in thought.

"I hear you’re the reincarnation of a mighty warrior. Is that true?" Yu Xin asked with a smile as she came over.

"Yes and no, I just have some memories from a previous life," Xu Ping’an replied with a smile, not hiding anything.

"So, are you from the Spirit Realm or the Mortal Realm?" Yu Xin continued to ask.

"The Spirit Realm!" Xu Ping’an thought for a moment before responding.

"I knew it!" Yu Xin nodded as if her guess had been confirmed.

"Is the spiritual energy really dense in the Spirit Realm?" Yu Xin asked.

"Yes, it’s a hundred times denser than in the Mortal Realm," Xu Ping’an replied.

"No wonder everyone wants to enter the Spirit Realm. With a hundredfold spiritual energy, breakthroughs would indeed be much easier," Yu Xin nodded and said.

"Roar!"

Just then, a beast’s roar sounded.

Following that, the entire giant ship seemed to be fiercely struck by something, shaking violently.

"Hmph! Wretched beast!"

Yu Xin instantly became furious.

She stomped on the deck and terrifying True Yuan burst forth from her foot, spreading a hundred meters in all directions.

The demon beast that had attacked the ship was directly shaken out of the water.

It was a Fourth Rank, First Layer Realm Red Armored Giant Bone Dragon Fish, about fifteen meters long.

Yu Xin drew her sword in an instant and slashed with a single stroke, releasing a Flaming Sword Aura that swept across the sky.

It sliced the Red Armored Giant Bone Dragon Fish in two.

"So powerful!"

Xu Ping’an was somewhat astonished.

Yu Xin’s move was swift and decisive, her killing intent sharp, evidently a warrior experienced in many battles.
