Rise of the Sword Son-in-Law-Chapter 828 - 827 Temporal Ban

The auction concluded with a mysterious woman snagging the final treasured item.

Following that, it was time to pay for the purchases with Spirit Stones.

Not long after, a beautiful maid entered.

"Sir, you’ve bid on the star map," the maid said respectfully, "please come with me to the private meeting room to settle your payment."

Despite speaking respectfully, the maid still eyed Xu Ping’an with a scrutinizing look.

Xu Ping’an just smiled and then turned to Lv Yun, "You head back first; no need to wait for me, I still have things to handle."

"Yes!" Lv Yun replied respectfully and promptly left.

Xu Ping’an followed the maid, heading for the private meeting room.

"Is Ouyang Baixin inside the meeting room?" Xu Ping’an said with a smile.

"Eh, how did you know?" The maid asked, somewhat surprised.

Knowing that during the auction, such transfer activities were typically handled by elders, and Ouyang Baixin, being the princess of Tai Xuan Chamber of Commerce, would normally not involve herself.

Only extremely important figures such as the woman who won the final bid in the Profile Room could justify Ouyang Baixin’s personal attendance.

After the mysterious woman left, Ouyang Baixin had surprisingly decided to meet him next.

Thus, the maid curiously studied him more deeply.

She hadn’t expected him to deduce so much from a simple glance.

This guy was terrifying!

The maid did not dare to slacken in her duties any further nor speak rashly, fearing she might say the wrong thing.

Noticing the maid’s overly cautious demeanor, Xu Ping’an quickly grasped the situation.

He didn’t ask further, just followed her to the meeting room.

Soon, they arrived.

Ouyang Baixin was also there.

Dressed in a bright red gown, she looked strikingly glamorous and seductive.

Her tall, slender figure appeared almost like a perfect work of art, hard to take one’s eyes off.

Coupled with a mature charm exuding from her, it inevitably aroused a conquering desire.

"You’re here? Sit!" Ouyang Baixin said with a charming smile.

"I’m afraid if I sit down, you might consume me," Xu Ping’an replied with a smile.

Ouyang Baixin laughed sweetly, a laugh that could captivate anyone.

"What’s there to fear? If I really did consume you, it would be your good fortune," Ouyang Baixin teased.

"I’m afraid I couldn’t handle it," Xu Ping’an responded.

"Oh, you scaredy-cat, sit down. I won’t consume you. I just want to talk about feelings," Ouyang Baixin said with a playful roll of her eyes and a laugh.

Xu Ping’an could now truly appreciate the allure of this mature woman and sat down across from Ouyang Baixin.

"You must be Number Nine, right? No one else is here, and there’s a strong ban isolating us, so no third party will know," Ouyang Baixin said.

"If I were to do something to you, wouldn’t that mean you could scream your lungs out and no one would come?" Xu Ping’an continued to tease.

"What do you want to do to me? Besides, you might not actually be able to," Ouyang Baixin laughed and said.

Xu Ping’an chuckled; Ouyang Baixin was merely at the Second Layer of the Immortal Emperor Realm, and her skills hadn’t advanced further.

If he really wanted to harm her, she would stand no chance of resisting.

Thinking this, Xu Ping’an discreetly activated his Soul Power.

Ouyang Baixin only saw a flash in Xu Ping’an’s eyes, then she suddenly froze on the spot, her mind went blank.

A moment later, she recovered, looking at Xu Ping’an in horror.

"Soul Power at the peak level of the Immortal Emperor Realm, how is your Soul Power so strong?" Ouyang Baixin exclaimed in shock.

"Do you still think I can’t touch you now?" Xu Ping’an smiled and said.

"Yes, I admit I underestimated you; you’re very strong. What’s your name?" Ouyang Baixin asked.

"Qi Xuanbo, from Jade Immortal Sect," Xu Ping’an naturally introduced himself.

"So you’re from Jade Spirit Realm’s Jade Immortal Sect. I’ve heard of your name; I knew you were a genius but never realized your strength was so formidable," Ouyang Baixin said with a smile.

Xu Ping’an smiled, getting right to the point, "Tell me, what do you want from me? Just say it directly, I don’t like beating around the bush."

"Then I’ll be straightforward. I hope you can sell me the fragment of the Heaven-Penetrating Realm. I can offer you treasures of equivalent value in exchange," Ouyang Baixin stated.

"What do you need the Heaven-Penetrating Mirror fragment for? You couldn’t be trying to collect all the fragments, could you?" Xu Ping’an curiously asked.

"That’s right, I know it’s a long shot, but for me, it’s my last hope," Ouyang Baixin confessed.

"Last hope?" Xu Ping’an asked, somewhat surprised.

"You must know about my condition, right?" Ouyang Baixin inquired.

Xu Ping’an nodded, as he had heard before that Ouyang Baixin had a condition preventing her from advancing beyond the Second Layer of the Immortal Emperor Realm.

As for the specifics of the problem, Xu Ping’an was unaware.

"My body was actually cursed with a Temporal Ban, a very powerful one, an incredibly strong Temporal Ban that has kept my physical state forever locked in the past, preventing any breakthrough," Ouyang Baixin said, her voice tinged with anger.

"A Temporal Ban? One that locks the body in a past state? Such things exist?" Xu Ping’an said, astonished.

"Yes, I accidentally touched an extremely ancient artifact which transferred its curse onto me. The Heaven-Penetrating Mirror is a divine Space-Time Artifact and might be able to resolve this issue afflicting me," Ouyang Baixin explained.

Xu Ping’an’s face showed his astonishment.

So that was the issue.

No wonder even with the resources of the Tai Xuan Chamber of Commerce, they couldn’t resolve Ouyang Baixin’s body issue.

It was a powerful Temporal Ban.

"Could I see the ban inside you? Not to hide from you, but my Cultivation is of the Space-Time Dao Principle," Xu Ping’an said with a smile.

After saying this, he activated the Dao Principle.

Ouyang Baixin then felt her movements suddenly become much slower.

It wasn’t that her body was restricted, but that her time was being influenced.

"You actually Cultivate the Space-Time Dao Principle? Alright, I’ll let you see," Ouyang Baixin said surprised and promptly agreed.

Xu Ping’an smiled and immediately grabbed Ouyang Baixin’s wrist, beginning to sense the ban within her.

Frankly, he was quite intrigued by such a ban.

Ouyang Baixin, meanwhile, blushed slightly, but fortunately, Xu Ping’an did not look around aimlessly; his Soul Power was focused only on the ban.

Xu Ping’an observed the ban inside Ouyang Baixin, his face revealing an expression of complete surprise.

Such a profound ban!

It was the first time he’d seen such a powerful and mysterious ban.

The complexity of the ban was akin to a planets made up of entangled ropes, and to discern the rules within, one would need to unravel these entangled ropes completely.
