Rise of the Sword Son-in-Law-Chapter 452 The Means of Yuheng Heaven
"Dead?" The palace-dressed beauty revealed a shocked expression.
The other members of the Hehuan Sect also wore faces of disbelief.
Even Zhou Mengyue had not expected that Li Shuang would actually explode and perish.
"There is a problem with this luck, Young Master Zhao, how do you explain this?" The palace-dressed beauty’s bright, peach-blossom eyes suddenly filled with anger as she stared at the people from Yuheng Heaven.
Although Li Shuang was not the Saintess, she was still a Direct Disciple of their Hehuan Sect, with potential second only to Zhou Mengyue.
But now, Li Shuang had burst and died, which was a huge loss for their Hehuan Sect.
Especially since one of the four people was Li Shuang’s master, and at this moment, this woman was also full of anger.
Zhao Qiming and the others were also surprised at this moment.
The death of Li Shuang was completely beyond their expectations.
Logically speaking, even if Li Shuang could not bear the fortune of the Holy Heavenly Sect, she should not have just exploded and died.
Could it be that there was something wrong with this fortune?
Zhao Qiming did not speak. Li Shuang was dead, and he did not care.
She was just a woman, and moreover, he had already grown tired of her.
What he truly cared about was the grand scheme of Yuheng Heaven.
"Elder Ye, how about having Saintess Zhou try again?" Zhao Qiming pondered for a moment before speaking.
"How dare you, is this the attitude of Yuheng Heaven’s cooperation?" The palace-dressed beauty was furious.
The other party not only showed no remorse for the death of Li Shuang but even wanted Zhou Mengyue to give it another try.
It was clear that they did not take their Hehuan Sect seriously at all.
Zhou Mengyue was also extremely angry at this moment.
This Zhao Qiming was simply scum. Li Shuang had followed her, and now she was killed by him. He not only had no trace of regret, but now he actually wanted to harm her?
"Elder Ning, don’t get agitated. Qiming was just speaking offhand. However, this fortune is of utmost importance to our Yuheng Heaven as it’s crucial to our grand scheme, so we have to trouble you all a bit," Ye Xingtian stepped forward and said to the people from Hehuan Sect.
The next moment, three Eighth Rank Strongmen from Yuheng Heaven and the foreign aid from Yu Qianzong surrounded the five people from Hehuan Sect.
The palace-dressed beauty’s face changed, and her eyes turned ice-cold in an instant.
The people from Hehuan Sect also brought out their weapons, ready to defend themselves.
"Elder Ye, are you planning to keep us here by force?" Ning Qingshuang said angrily, looking at Ye Xingtian.
Ye Xingtian just smiled, "It’s not about keeping you by force, but rather, we hope Elder Ning would cooperate with us. As long as another person from Hehuan Sect steps forward, whoever it is, not necessarily Saintess Zhou, I want to see whether there’s an issue with this fortune."
"Ye Xingtian, are you gambling with the lives of our Hehuan Sect members?" Ning Qingshuang was furious.
The others from the Hehuan Sect were also filled with anger.
"Elder Ning is joking. We are cooperating with the Hehuan Sect. In fact, we have already made concessions; otherwise, the best candidate would still be the Saintess Zhou," Zhao Qiming said with a smile.
"It seems that you people from Yuheng Heaven are nothing but treacherous and disloyal. Elder Ning, let’s not cooperate with them anymore," Zhou Mengyue said angrily.
Ning Qingshuang nodded, her eyes cautiously watching Ye Xingtian and the others, and immediately said, "Let’s go."
After saying that, Ning Qingshuang was about to lead the people from Hehuan Sect to break through.
"Go?" Ye Xingtian sneered.
Then, a golden rope appeared in his hand. The golden rope split into five and instantly bound the five people, rendering them unable to move.
"The Immortal Locking Rope, does this old man actually have this item?" Gu Lingyan exclaimed in surprise.
"The Immortal Locking Rope? An Ancient Immortal Artifact? It’s said that although this item is an Intermediate Grade Immortal Artifact, it poses a threat to anyone below Tenth Rank. Once bound by the Immortal Locking Rope, even a Ninth Rank Cultivator would find it difficult to break free," Xu Ping’an said in astonishment.
As an Artifact Refiner, Xu Ping’an had some research on some ancient Immortal Artifacts.
Immortal Artifacts like the Immortal Binding Rope were no longer just simple Immortal Artifacts, but a method in which runes were fused with the Immortal Artifact.
It was considered a special type of ancient Artifact Refining, fusing Immortal Artifacts with runes to unleash greater power.
Xu Ping’an had tried this before but had failed.
He hadn’t expected this old man to possess such an ancient Immortal Artifact, no wonder he had felt danger looming previously.
Facing such an Immortal Artifact, he feared he would not be able to handle it.
If it came down to it, he would only be fish meat for the old man.
However, the Immortal Binding Rope was not invincible; it had a fatal weakness. It needed to collect the opponent’s aura in advance to lock onto them.
Clearly, the old man had been well prepared, having collected the aura of the Hehuan Sect beforehand, which allowed him to trap all five of them.
As long as one concealed their own aura or changed it before battling against him, one could completely avoid the Immortal Binding Rope’s attack.
"It seems it was right not to act rashly. This guy actually has such a treasure," Xu Ping’an said with a smile.
Now that he knew the opponent’s methods, Xu Ping’an had nothing to fear.
"Immortal Binding Rope? Release us quickly. Does Yuheng Heaven really want to go to war with our Hehuan Sect? Don’t forget, our sect leader is inside the ancient palace," Ning Qingshuang immediately said.
The others struggled desperately, but it was futile.
Not only were their bodies bound, but their Pill Sea and Niwan Palace were also suppressed.
There was no room for them to resist at this moment.
"Stop struggling. You can’t break free from the Immortal Binding Rope of Yuheng Heaven, and as for being enemies with your Hehuan Sect, do you think Yuheng Heaven would be afraid?" Zhao Qiming said disdainfully.
"Qiming, stop wasting words. Throw one into the formation and activate the Heaven Seizing Great Formation again," Ye Xingtian immediately said.
"All right," Zhao Qiming said. After speaking, he grabbed an Eighth Rank middle-aged woman from the sect and threw her into the formation.
"No... don’t kill me," the Eighth Rank elder from the Hehuan Sect suddenly showed a terrified expression.
Ning Qingshuang’s expression also changed as she hurriedly said, "If you want to try, let me do it, don’t touch the others."
"Don’t rush, Elder Ning, you’ll be next," Zhao Qiming said with a sneer.
"You’re shameless." Ning Qingshuang was seething with rage at these words.
Zhou Mengyue was also grinding her teeth at this moment.
"Activate the Great Formation," Ye Tianxing immediately ordered.
"Yes!" An Eighth Rank Cultivator walked over immediately, preparing to activate the Great Formation.
However, just as the Eighth Rank Cultivator had taken a few steps towards the formation, a streak of light flashed by in an instant.
Thud!
The body of the Eighth Rank Cultivator was cut into two halves.
What?
Everyone was shocked.
A young man in white smiled as he walked over, looking at Zhao Qiming and others with a smile, "Quite the drama, failing to take away the fate of the Holy Heavenly Sect, yet still wanting to try again. Yuheng Heaven really is despicable."
"It’s you, Xu Ping’an," Zhao Qiming gritted his teeth instantly.
Yu Qianzong’s expression also changed, his eyes darkening.
"Xu Ping’an?" Zhou Mengyue and the disciples of the Hehuan Sect were in a daze.

They also hadn’t expected Xu Ping’an to appear at this time.
