Rise of the Sword Son-in-Law-Chapter 782 - 781 News of the Demon Beast

"Qin Feng, I am grateful to you for saving my life," Yu Qingyue said with gratitude.

Xu Ping’an waved his hand indifferently.

"Actually, I wanted to ask you a question. As long as you can answer me, it will also be a great help to me," Xu Ping’an said.

"What question? Please ask, Qin Feng. If we know, we will certainly answer," Yu Qingyue responded eagerly.

"Yes, we will definitely tell you if we know," Zhang Tao chimed in.

"It’s not actually an important question. I just want to know which demon beasts in the Immortal Emperor Realm’s First Layer Realm are in this mountain range, specifically where they can be found," Xu Ping’an asked.

Demons in the Immortal Emperor Realm?

Yu Qingyue and the others were momentarily stunned, clearly not expecting Xu Ping’an to ask such a simple question.

"If it’s just that, Qin Feng, it’s really not a significant secret. There are actually quite a few demons in the Immortal Emperor Realm within the mountain range, at least twenty, and among them, there are three in the First Layer Realm of the Immortal Emperor Realm," Zhang Tao replied.

"Three? Which three?" Xu Ping’an asked hastily.

"Qin Feng, may I ask what you need with a demon beast of the Immortal Emperor Realm?" Yu Qingyue inquired tentatively.

Xu Ping’an did not respond.

If he were to say that he was there to kill an Immortal Emperor Realm demon beast, these people would definitely think he was courting death.

After all, his cultivation was no more than the Tenth Rank Third Layer Realm. Even if he had strength that surpassed his own level, it couldn’t possibly be that remarkable.

"I am investigating on behalf of an elder. He needs a demon core from a demon beast of the Immortal Emperor Realm," Xu Ping’an said.

"I see. If that’s the case, then it’s easier. The three demons in the First Layer Realm of the Immortal Emperor Realm are the Dark Element Magic Panther, the Red Blood Earth Armour Dragon, and the Fierce Flame Golden Eagle. The first two live on the other end of this mountain range, around seven hundred kilometers from here," Yu Qingyue said.

"Seven hundred kilometers? Won’t that take about three days to reach?" Xu Ping’an frowned and said.

"It’s likely to be longer than that. The mountain range is covered with spatial rifts which are impossible to traverse, so one must bypass the range. It will take at least seven days to get there," Yu Qingyue explained.

Seven days?

In seven days, his mission would have long been over.

"What about the third one?" Xu Ping’an asked impatiently.

"The third one is the Fierce Flame Golden Eagle. It’s quite close, only about eighty kilometers from here, and it won’t take long to reach. Coincidentally, we came here for the Fierce Flame Golden Eagle," Yu Qingyue said with a smile.

"For the Fierce Flame Golden Eagle? Are you planning to kill it?" Xu Ping’an looked at Yu Qingyue and the other two in surprise.

"Of course not. Qin Feng, with our strength, we can’t even handle a Silver Moon Demon Wolf, let alone a Fierce Flame Golden Eagle of the Immortal Emperor Realm. We are here mainly to assist the Divine Maiden of our sect," Wang Heng hurriedly explained.

"Yes, we are here to assist the Divine Maiden, and she is not here to kill the Fierce Flame Golden Eagle but to obtain the Fire God Fruit that the eagle guards," Zhang Tao added.

"The Fire God Fruit? Is that the legendary fruit that can greatly enhance the strength of cultivators with Fire Attributes?" Xu Ping’an said in surprise.

"Correct, that’s the one. There is a Divine Tree that grows in the Fierce Flame Golden Eagle’s nest."

"It is said that this tree bears fruit once every five thousand years, and it just so happens that the fruit is about to ripen. So, we have come to help the Divine Maiden obtain this fruit."

"It’s just that we didn’t expect to encounter an attack from the Silver Moon Demon Wolf on the way," Yu Qingyue replied.

Xu Ping’an understood.

It seemed he had arrived at a fortuitous time, just as the Fire God fruit tree was bearing fruit.

And his target could only be the Fierce Flame Golden Eagle.

"Why did your divine woman send you to assist? With your level of cultivation, I’m afraid you won’t be able to participate," Xu Ping’an asked curiously.

"Actually, Mr. Qin Feng is not aware that the nest of the Fierce Flame Golden Eagle has a formation, and only I can solve it. That’s why the divine woman asked me to come, and both of them accompanied me here," Yu Qingyue explained.

"What kind of formation?" Xu Ping’an asked curiously.

"This formation is an incomplete Divine Formation that no one else can unravel. I once inadvertently obtained an ancient formation manual, which happened to have this formation in it. So I came," Yu Qingyue responded.

"I see. Where is your divine woman then?" Xu Ping’an asked curiously.

"The divine woman has already reached the vicinity of the Fierce Flame Golden Eagle’s nest, along with two of her friends, so we basically don’t need to lift a finger," Yu Qingyue explained.

Xu Ping’an understood.

He had also heard of the Divine Moon Sect; it was the most powerful sect in the Earth Spirit Realm.

The sect’s divine woman must also be powerful.

"Can you take me with you?" Xu Ping’an asked.

"This..." Zhang Tao and Wang Heng were both hesitant.

Telling Xu Ping’an all this was already pushing the limits.

If they took Xu Ping’an with them and it disrupted the divine woman’s important matters, they would be in big trouble.

"Fine, I’ll take you. If the divine woman blames us, I’ll take responsibility," Yu Qingyue said after thinking it over.

"Don’t worry, I won’t do anything. I just want to check the location and strength of the Fierce Flame Golden Eagle, so I can report back to my elders," Xu Ping’an said with a smile.

"That’s great, Mr. Qin Feng, please come with us," Yu Qingyue invited.

Xu Ping’an nodded, "You don’t have to call me Mr. Qin Feng. Just Qin Feng will do."

"Okay, from now on I’ll call you Qin Feng," Yu Qingyue said with a nod and a smile, her gaze toward Xu Ping’an becoming much gentler.

Zhang Tao and Wang Heng felt a pang of jealousy, but since Xu Ping’an had just saved them, they refrained from saying anything.

Xu Ping’an, meanwhile, gave a wry smile in his heart.

Having become so plainly ordinary in appearance, Yu Qingyue wouldn’t have any ideas about him, would she?

However, Yu Qingyue was indeed quite attractive. Although she wasn’t what one might call a top beauty, she was gentle and endearing, with a hint of coquettish allure—quite tempting indeed.

Zhang Tao and Wang Heng must also be harboring some thoughts towards her, which is why they were willing to accompany her here.

Along the way, Yu Qingyue always found topics to talk about intentionally with Xu Ping’an, her gaze becoming increasingly tender.

Zhang Tao and Wang Heng grew even more uncomfortable watching them.

Xu Ping’an could only feel helpless, as naturally, he could not have any thoughts about Yu Qingyue.

But after three days, he would be leaving and it would be difficult to meet again in the future.

Even if Yu Qingyue had any thoughts, they would likely fade over time.

That night, Zhang Tao pulled Xu Ping’an aside, a sly smile on his face, "Brother Qin Feng, I have a very important piece of news to tell you, you’ll be very happy to hear it," he said.

"What news?" Xu Ping’an asked.

"You know our sect’s divine woman, right? She’s the number one beauty in the Earth Spirit Realm, incredibly gorgeous," Zhang Tao said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Xu Ping’an immediately laughed, understanding what Zhang Tao was getting at.
