Rise of the Sword Son-in-Law-Chapter 794 - 793: Ancient Sect

"You… Are you alright?" Tang Xinyue asked with concern as she looked at Xu Ping’an’s weakened face.

"I’m fine, if I could get another hug, I’d recover instantly," Xu Ping’an said with a playful smile.

"Go to hell," Tang Xinyue retorted, stepping on Xu Ping’an’s foot with a blush that covered her face.

Xu Ping’an just chuckled.

"You two… know each other?" Yao Feifei asked with suspicion.

Xu Ping’an didn’t answer but instead turned to look at Tang Xinyue.

Her face flushed red, and seeing Yao Feifei’s insistent gaze, she finally gave in and said, "Actually, he and I were once engaged, he’s technically my fiancé."

"What… fiancé?" Yao Feifei exploded on the spot.

Zhang Tao and the others were similarly petrified on the spot, more shocked than when Xu Ping’an had slain the Mysterious Nether Immortal Emperor.

After all, Tang Xinyue was the sacred female character of their sect, an exceedingly pure existence.

Yet she actually had an engagement with another man.

Disappointment flickered in Yu Qingyue’s eyes.

For a moment, Yao Feifei was utterly speechless, having previously naively advised Tang Xinyue to keep her distance from Xu Ping’an.

Turned out they had an engagement all along.

Now, she felt like a fool, lost in the wind.

However, she also felt a tinge of discomfort, wondering how this guy was connected to all these beauties.

"Actually, it’s not just about the engagement. It was her who gave me the Chaotic True Fire, now the Chaotic Divine Fire. Without her, I wouldn’t have acquired a Fire Attribute Physique," said Xu Ping’an with a smile, and as he finished speaking, a wisp of Chaotic Divine Fire appeared in his hand.

The others were deeply shocked. Xu Ping’an’s Chaotic True Fire was actually a gift from Tang Xinyue.

Didn’t that mean their relationship was incredibly profound?

A smile appeared on Tang Xinyue’s face, but it soon turned to a shadow of pain in her eyes.

Xu Ping’an did not notice Tang Xinyue’s expression.

At that moment, he was toying with the Chaotic Divine Fire in his hand.

He had initially been of a Dual Attribute with Golden Thunder, but it was because of Tang Xinyue that he acquired a third attribute.

Thus, Tang Xinyue’s assistance to him could be described as tremendously significant.

"Your Chaotic True Fire has merged with Divine Fire?" Tang Xinyue curiously asked.

"Yes, it has merged with the Nine Heavens Divine Fire, and now it has become the Chaotic Divine Fire," Xu Ping’an nodded in response.

"You have already subdued the Nine Heavens Divine Fire of the Refining Alliance, and I’ve been wanting to ask how you happened to be here? It should take days to get here from the Jade Spirit Realm, even with a Teleportation Formation," Yao Feifei asked, confused.

They had all relied on a Teleportation Formation to arrive so quickly.

How could Xu Ping’an have suddenly appeared here?

"Actually, I’m here to take part in the Artifact Divine Sect’s examination, and this first task is to slay an Immortal Emperor Realm beast king, seize its Demon Core, with only three days given. So, in a few Hours, I’ll be teleported back," Xu Ping’an replied.

"I see, it’s the trial of the Artifact Divine Sect," Yao Feifei suddenly realized.

Wu Bing also instantly understood, his eyes flashing with envy.

Tang Xinyue also came to understand.

"How did you dodge the Divine Needle attack from Mysterious Nether Immortal Emperor earlier? Was your soul origin harmed?" Tang Xinyue hastily asked.

"No, don’t worry. I have a treasure that not only shielded me from that Divine Needle’s attack but also captured it for my use. So I simply feigned death to deliver a fatal blow to Mysterious Nether," Xu Ping’an said with a smile.

He wasn’t lying; indeed, the Supreme Immortal Seal had saved him.

So that was it!

Everyone else understood as well.

They did not probe further about what the treasure was, as it was Xu Ping’an’s secret.

Pressing too much on such matters could be rather inappropriate.

"Let’s distribute this Divine Fire Fruit," Yao Feifei quickly changed the subject.

Tang Xinyue nodded and said, "There should be one for each of the five of us, the rest we can give to Xu Ping’an. If it weren’t for him, we would have all died."

"We won’t need it; we didn’t contribute." Zhang Tao and Wang Heng promptly waved their hands.

"Since you have come, you naturally qualify for a share. Just accept it," Tang Xinyue said.

Yao Feifei, Wu Bing, and Yu Qingyue had no objections.

Xu Ping’an, however, said with a smile, "I’ll take three of the Fire God fruits, and the remaining two are for you. You need these for your breakthrough to the Immortal Emperor realm."

"But..." Tang Xinyue immediately wanted to argue.

Yet she saw Xu Ping’an wave his hand and say, "Of course, I won’t be at a loss. I will be taking the Fire God tree with me."

"You want the Fire God tree?" Tang Xinyue asked, her expression becoming serious.

Although the Fire God tree itself was also an extremely precious treasure, it was not common practice to take it in its entirety, usually leaving something for those who would come after.

"Don’t worry, I will leave its roots to ensure its survival," Xu Ping’an said.

Hearing this, everyone else also breathed a sigh of relief.

In this way, with the roots preserved, the Fire God tree wouldn’t be completely eradicated. It would just take a much longer time to grow back.

Soon, Tang Xinyue picked the Fire God fruits and distributed them to everyone.

As for Xu Ping’an, he cut down the Fire God tree and handed its origin to Yin Xue.

With this origin, Yin Xue could also break through to the Immortal Emperor realm.

Xu Ping’an then stored everything that belonged to the Mysterious Nether Immortal Emperor into his ring.

His corpse and that Corpse Puppet were both valuable treasures; if he could find a way to refine Corpse Puppets, it would be possible to have two more formidable forces.

Indeed, as he investigated the Mysterious Nether Immortal Emperor’s storage ring, he found the Corpse Puppet Sect’s secret technique for refining and controlling Corpse Puppets.

Besides that, there were many other treasures.

One could say that Xu Ping’an’s gains this time were quite substantial.

"Xu Ping’an, I need to talk to you." However, just then, Yao Feifei sent a message to Xu Ping’an.

"What’s the matter?" Xu Ping’an asked, puzzled.

"It’s about Xinyue. Do you really like her?" Yao Feifei sent the message asking.

"You’re not trying to get me to leave Xinyue, are you? If that’s the case, then save it," Xu Ping’an said, knowing Yao Feifei had always had a deep prejudice against him and was surprised she would even be meddling in his affairs.

"What I want to say is not about that. If you truly like Xinyue, then you better visit the Divine Moon Sect within the next half year," Yao Feifei sent the message.

"What do you mean?" Xu Ping’an asked, confused.

"You might not know, but to obtain a certain Ancient heritage, the Divine Moon Sect has arranged for Xinyue to marry the divine son of the Haoshen Sect. The wedding date is set for half a year from now," Yao Feifei explained.

"The Haoshen Sect? What kind of sect is that?" Xu Ping’an asked, surprised.

"It’s an ancient sect that has recently emerged, an extremely powerful entity. It is said to have no less than a hundred Immortal Emperor realm powerhouses, and the strength of that divine son is also exceedingly formidable. Even the one ranked third on the genius list was defeated by him, and in a single move," Yao Feifei said.

Upon hearing this, Xu Ping’an’s face became extremely serious.

Over a hundred in the Immortal Emperor realm?

What kind of terrifying force is this?

If there are that many in the Immortal Emperor realm, what about Immortal Emperors?

There couldn’t be none.

The sealing of the Source Ground of Dao Principle happened after the Ancient Times. Before the Ancient Times, one could become an Immortal Emperor.

Although he had long known about the strength of some ancient sects, he hadn’t expected them to be this powerful.

Nor had he expected that they would set their sights on Tang Xinyue.

"Alright, don’t worry, I will definitely go," Xu Ping’an said with resolute eyes.

However, Yao Feifei’s expression remained serious, "Actually, I don’t know if telling you this is good or bad. Xinyue didn’t want me to tell you, but I felt you should know."

"Thank you!" Xu Ping’an said gratefully.

At that moment, Tang Xinyue also approached and, seeing the expressions on Xu Ping’an and Yao Feifei’s faces, she seemed to instantly understand something. Her expression also turned extremely solemn.
