Rise of the Sword Son-in-Law-Chapter 462: The Obedient Pet

Xu Ping’an looked at the scenery of the outside world, speechless.

He had traveled eighteen thousand years into the past and had met two famous and incredible figures.

Yet he hadn’t heard anything and had been thoroughly fooled by both of them.

However, in the end, there was a significant gain—Wu Han had actually revealed the location of the Heaven-Penetrating Mirror fragment to him.

Additionally, he had shared another piece of information about the Temporal Dao Principles; Xu Ping’an needed to study the River of Time carefully.

That book was probably more profound than he had thought; he hadn’t grasped it at all.

Otherwise, Wu Han wouldn’t have reminded him to check out the River of Time.

"Li Xuanqing and Xue Hu haven’t come out yet; I wonder what they saw. But they probably weren’t played like me," Xu Ping’an mumbled to himself.

But he didn’t dwell on it any longer and took advantage of the moment while the other two hadn’t come out yet.

Xu Ping’an quickly flew to the plaza of the Holy Heavenly Sect and smashed the stone statue with a punch.

If he hadn’t been fooled, Xu Ping’an might have hesitated, but now he didn’t feel guilty at all.

As expected, when the statue shattered, Xu Ping’an saw a palm-sized metal fragment.

Xu Ping’an picked up the metal fragment, which was heavy in his hand, with a perfectly smooth mirrored surface on the front.

The back was covered with dense runes, extremely arcane.

"Is this a piece of the Heaven-Penetrating Mirror?" Xu Ping’an silently pondered.

As an Artifact Refiner, he could tell at a glance that the Heaven-Penetrating Mirror fragment was made of a material he had never seen, extremely hard, likely Divine Iron.

As for the abilities of the Heaven-Penetrating Mirror, Xu Ping’an wasn’t quite sure yet.

However, Xu Ping’an decided not to explore it now because it wasn’t the right time.

The time for the Holy Heavenly Sect’s event was nearing its end; it was time to leave.

"Buzz!"

Just then, Li Xuanqing and Xue Hu walked out from the Space-Time Gate.

Li Xuanqing’s aura had greatly increased; it wasn’t an increase in cultivation, but a breakthrough in his understanding of the heavens and the earth.

"Eh? Brother Li, have you stepped into the realm of the great tendencies of heaven and earth?" Xu Ping’an asked in surprise.

"Yes, I watched a battle between two strong figures within the Space-Time Gate and had an epiphany, which led to the breakthrough," Li Xuanqing nodded.

"You’re lucky to have a breakthrough in the great tendencies of heaven and earth. Although it’s still in its infancy, it will make your path much smoother in the future," Xu Ping’an said with a smile.

Li Xuanqing nodded.

"Fatso, what about you?" Xu Ping’an turned to look at Xue Hu.

The latter’s face was grave and silent, as if he was pondering something.

"Me? I didn’t see anything," Xue Hu said with a dejected face.

Xu Ping’an glanced at Xue Hu, knowing the latter didn’t want to speak, so he didn’t ask further.

However, judging by Xue Hu’s expression, whatever he had seen seemed to have puzzled him.

Li Xuanqing didn’t inquire further either, as his breakthrough in the great tendencies of heaven and earth was already quite an achievement.

"Brother Xu, and you?" Xue Hu suddenly asked with a smile.

"Me? I’ve obtained a Heaven-Penetrating Mirror fragment," Xu Ping’an replied with a smile.

Xue Hu was taken aback, then immediately asked with a grin, "Brother Xu, could I possibly…"

"No," Xu Ping’an cut him off decisively.

New novel 𝓬hapters are published on ƒreewebɳovel.com.

"Weren’t we in agreement? If Brother Xu gives me the Heaven-Penetrating Mirror fragment, I could offer something satisfactory in return," Xue Hu said with a smile.

"Then give me seventy-two Immortal Emperor Seals, and I’ll trade," Xu Ping’an stated.

"Brother Xu, you must be joking. Seventy-two Immortal Emperor Seals? Where would I find them?" Xue Hu said with a wry smile.

"Half would do too. If not, there’s no need to talk; that’s my bottom line," Xu Ping’an stated once more.

Upon hearing this, Xue Hu fell silent.

He knew the deal was off the table.

Leaving aside whether he had that many Immortal Emperor Seals, even if he did, he wouldn’t trade them.

After all, the value of thirty-six Immortal Emperor Seals far exceeded that of the Heaven-Penetrating Mirror fragment.

"We should leave now; this place is about to close," Gu Lingyan walked over and said.

Xu Ping’an nodded, then immediately led Gu Lingyan and the others out of the Holy Heavenly Sect’s domain.

No sooner had they left the domain of the Holy Heavenly Sect than Xu Ping’an’s expression changed.

The next moment, a huge figure appeared in front of Xu Ping’an.

"Savage Ape King?" Xu Ping’an’s expression changed in an instant.

Xue Hu’s face also underwent a dramatic change upon seeing the Savage Ape King.

"Pet human? Human fatty? You’re actually together, made me search for such a long time." The Savage Ape King, upon seeing Xu Ping’an, immediately bared its fangs, its face contorted ferociously.

"It’s over," Xu Ping’an sighed inwardly.

To his surprise, he had been caught up to by the Savage Ape King.

Just when he thought of heading to the Fifth Layer, he didn’t expect to be blocked.

"Lord Savage Ape King, you’re looking for me?" Xu Ping’an said with a smile.

Everyone around was shocked; Xu Ping’an’s changing of faces was too quick, wasn’t it?

The people from the Hehuan Sect were all amazed, questioning if they really hadn’t followed the wrong person.

Even Liu Yan began to doubt.

"Yes, I’ve been searching for a long time, pet human. How dare you deceive me?" The Savage Ape King roared in anger.

"Lord Savage Ape King, you’re looking for me just for this?" Xu Ping’an responded with a smile as soon as he heard this.

"Isn’t this important? You tricked me, and you nearly got me killed by that fatty’s people."

The Savage Ape King was seething with rage; one could even see the purple aura spewing from its nostrils.

"That’s the fatty’s fault, I didn’t deceive you at all, there really is Indestructible Thunder Elemental Liquid," Xu Ping’an said right away.

Upon hearing this, Xue Hu wanted to speak up but was fiercely glared at by Xu Ping’an.

Xue Hu’s mouth twitched.

Alright, I’ll bear the blame.

He felt if he didn’t take the blame, Xu Ping’an could kill him.

The fact his elder fought the Savage Ape King was true, so if he didn’t take the blame, he’d still be hunted down.

Thus, Xue Hu didn’t try to defend himself.

As expected, upon hearing this, the Savage Ape King’s murderous intent overflowed as it turned to look at Xue Hu.

Seeing that Xue Hu offered no rebuttal, it was convinced of the truth in Xu Ping’an’s words.

"It was you all along, meddling in things. Your clan members almost killed me, and I will make sure you pay," the Savage Ape King roared furiously, appearing ready to tear Xue Hu apart.

The Eighth Rank Cultivators behind Xue Hu had their faces change dramatically, tense with seriousness.

Xue Hu, in utmost reluctance, brought out several talismans.

The next moment, he transformed into a streak of light and vanished on the spot.

"Ninth Rank Heaven Escaping Talismans? That fatty’s got quite a stash of treasures." Xu Ping’an saw the fatty fleeing and wasn’t surprised.

After all, he knew Xue Hu was well-equipped with tricks up his sleeve.

This guy was truly a multi-talented cultivator.

The Savage Ape King saw Xue Hu escape and, in a frenzy, beat its chest. However, it could not catch up to Xue Hu and could only watch them flee, becoming even more furious.

"Lord Savage Ape King, don’t be hasty. He surely has gone up a layer. If you go to the Fifth or the Sixth Layer, you can certainly catch up to him," Xu Ping’an said with a smile.

"Pet human, come with me to the Sixth Layer. I need to retrieve an item and require your assistance," the Savage Ape King suddenly calmed down, looking at Xu Ping’an.

"Huh?" Xu Ping’an was taken aback.

This probably was the real reason why the Savage Ape King was looking for him, right?

The previous anger was probably just to scare him.

"Alright, I’ll accompany you," Xu Ping’an agreed.

The Savage Ape King nodded in satisfaction upon hearing this.

"Xu Ping’an, I’ll go with you," Gu Lingyan hurriedly communicated through a transmission.

"I’m fine, you don’t need to follow me. If you come with me, the Savage Ape King will be apprehensive, and I can handle it. Besides, I can use its strength to ascend to the Sixth Layer," Xu Ping’an said.

"Then be careful. Also, don’t linger in the Fifth Layer. I’ve heard there’s trouble, something ominous has appeared," Gu Lingyan communicated back.

"Something ominous?" Xu Ping’an looked puzzled.

"Yes, I can’t give the specifics, but it’s possibly related to the one connected with the divine punishment of heaven and earth. In any case, move swiftly through the Fifth Layer into the Sixth Layer, do not linger, and as for the Seventh Layer, don’t go there. Something’s happened at the Heavenly Star Palace, and the Seventh Layer is now inaccessible," Gu Lingyan said.

"Alright," Xu Ping’an nodded, his mind filled with curiosity.

Related to the one connected with the divine punishment of heaven and earth?

Isn’t that Tang Xinyue?

Tang Xinyue seemed to have been heading for the Seventh Layer, right?

Could it be because of something she did?
