Rise of the Sword Son-in-Law-Chapter 465: Strong As Clouds
Xu Ping’an looked around at the genius cultivators surrounding him.
Clearly, they all harbored a strong desire for the Mysterious Light Golden Lotus.
"Actually, you mainly need to watch out for four people, one of them is that red-dressed woman to the east, see her? She is Zhao Hongxue, a direct disciple of the Jade Pool Holy Hall. Her master is the Spear Empress Li Yuan, and it is said that her strength ranks within the top five among direct disciples. Her cultivation is at a semi-step ninth rank, but in terms of combat power, she is at least at the second layer realm of the ninth rank," Yu Xianlan explained.
The Spear Empress Li Yuan?
Xu Ping’an couldn’t help but look towards the woman in red.
This woman wore a red dress and, while her looks weren’t breathtakingly stunning, she possessed an air of valor that put her in the category of a beauty.
She exuded an extremely intense aura that made it quite evident she practiced a fire attribute technique.
The woman always held her snow-white neck high, her gaze proud.
Within the Mystic Spirit Realm, the Spear Empress Li Yuan was renowned, a formidable figure among female immortal emperors.
Being a disciple of the Spear Empress, this woman’s strength was undoubtedly extraordinary.
Next to her was another woman Xu Ping’an recognized, the one who had previously tried to snatch the Xuanqing Immortal Vine, Duan Sirong.
There was also a woman carrying a giant sword; this woman’s appearance was quite plain, and her build somewhat burly, but the heavy aura about her caught Xu Ping’an by surprise.
Among these three, Duan Sirong’s strength was likely the weakest.
The giant sword-wielding woman’s strength seemed stronger than Duan Sirong’s.
As for the red-dressed woman’s strength, it was as Yu Xianlan had said, at least at the second layer realm of the ninth rank.
Xu Ping’an’s current combat power was roughly on this level, so the woman’s strength was indeed formidable.
"Another one to note is that young man from the Immortal Elemental Heaven, his name is Gongsun You. You see him appearing to have eighth rank peak cultivation on the surface, but in reality, his cultivation has reached the first layer of the ninth rank. This person is always treacherous, so beware of him," Yu Xianlan said.
Xu Ping’an nodded and glanced at the man in a silver robe.
This person had concealed his strength well, for Xu Ping’an had not recognized his hidden power before.
If it weren’t for Yu Xianlan’s words, he might have been unable to notice and possibly underestimated his opponent.
"Moreover, there’s that fellow from the Eastern Demon Hall. Look, the leading youth has already taken human form. He is one of the ten direct disciples of the Eastern Demon Hall master, named Zhong Hai. His cultivation is also at the first layer realm of the ninth rank."
"The reason he can transform is that he has consumed a shape-shifting pill of the tenth rank, and his original form is that of a Heavenly Dragon Tiger Whale, which gives him immense physical strength, even stronger than yours. Plus, with the inherited memories, his combat power is exceptionally strong," Yu Xianlan explained.
Xu Ping’an looked unassumingly at the purple-haired young man from the Eastern Demon Hall.
He hadn’t expected that the demon beast’s original form was actually that of a Heavenly Dragon Tiger Whale.
The so-called Heavenly Dragon Tiger Whale inherently possessed a certain lineage of the dragon race as well as that of the whale race.
Both races were already formidable within the demon race, and the fusion of these two bloodlines meant this fellow’s talent was indeed exceptional.
Xu Ping’an grew somber; Zhong Hai’s strength must be very strong.
Perhaps stronger than his own.
Xu Ping’an was somber, realizing that seizing the Mysterious Light Golden Lotus would not be easy.
Although he had the Savage Ape King, it could not make a move lightly.
Once it acted, it would be completely exposed.

And then, the prospect of bringing it into the Bronze Ancient Palace would become as difficult as ascending to heaven.
"The last person to pay attention to is from the Heavenly Spirit Realm, a direct disciple of the Xuanxian Sect named He Xiao. His strength has reached the third layer realm of the ninth rank, and he is also a genius listed on the talent list, ranking at number 86," Yu Xianlan pointed out, referring to a young man in a seven-star robe at the far distance.
This young man was likely around twenty-eight years old, and his placement on the talent list indicated his strong innate abilities.
Being under thirty and at the third layer realm of the ninth rank, Xu Ping’an admitted he was no match.
As for the Xuanxian Sect, he was familiar with it.
During the time of his rule, the Xuanxian Sect could only rank fifth in the Heavenly Spirit Realm.
But now, it had managed to climb into the top three.
It is said that the current Sect Master of the Xuanxian Sect is a sister of Ling Qingyao from those years, named Dantai Xuanxin.
Xu Ping’an didn’t know much about this person, having only seen her once. She was also a very famous beauty, having made it onto the list of heavenly beauties.
She had given him some guidance back then.
Unexpectedly, this woman had also become an Immortal Emperor later on.
"This is somewhat troublesome, with so many people, it’s indeed very difficult to snatch the Mysterious Light Golden Lotus," Xu Ping’an said with a headache.
He had thought his strength was not bad, but upon arriving here, he realized his strength didn’t amount to much.
It’s true, compared to some of the top talents from the Four Great Spirit Realms, his strength truly did fall short.
After all, the top talents of the Four Great Spirit Realms possessed incredibly abundant resources.
Yu Xianlan nodded, "The Mysterious Light Golden Lotus is a treasure even in the Spirit Realm, it greatly aids in the enhancement of the soul. Even I can’t easily overlook it, though I can give it up to help you obtain it, but it will be difficult."
Xu Ping’an nodded.
He needed helpers.
Thus, he immediately sent messages to Liu Yan and Yan Zhenling.
In the sixth layer of the Heavenly Star Palace, there were no spatial barriers, so messages could be sent as long as these two also reached the sixth layer, they would receive them.
Sure enough, their responses came quickly.
This brought a surge of joy to Xu Ping’an’s heart.
However, the strength of these two women was not very formidable, and he would need to think of other methods.
"I’ve found two helpers, one at the Ninth Rank First Layer Realm, the other at the Ninth Rank Third Layer Realm. Oh, and there’s also a Ninth Rank First Layer Realm Xuanqing Immortal Vine, which counts as three Ninth Rank cultivators. Together with you and me, that makes five Ninth Rank cultivators. Is that enough?" Xu Ping’an asked.
"It should be enough. Can’t it take action?" Yu Xianlan asked with slight surprise, then glanced at the Savage Ape King beside Xu Ping’an.
"It won’t take action unless absolutely necessary, it can’t expose itself easily. I promised to take it into the Bronze Immortal Hall, and if it’s exposed, it might easily become a target," Xu Ping’an explained.
Yu Xianlan nodded.
She understood.
"The Mysterious Light Golden Lotus will ripen in three hours. At that time, we will intercept these people while you go to pick it. Don’t linger in battle, just leave immediately," Yu Xianlan instructed.
"The Ninth Rank cultivators from the Bronze Immortal Hall won’t get involved, right?" Xu Ping’an inquired.
"No, they won’t. I’ve already ordered our Immortal Hall’s generals to create some commotion, giving the illusion that the Immortal Hall is opening, so they won’t come over. However, it also means that my people won’t be able to come," Yu Xianlan explained.
Xu Ping’an nodded.
Yu Xianlan had not come alone.
She had brought other Ninth Rank Experts, but unfortunately, these experts could not participate either.
For now, they would have to rely on themselves.
Soon enough, Yan Zhenling and Liu Yan rushed over.
Following Xu Ping’an’s instructions, it was just the two of them that came; of course, they also brought the Xuanqing Immortal Vine with them.
The Xuanqing Immortal Vine immediately flew toward Xu Ping’an upon seeing him, twining around his arm.
"Young Master!"
Both women greeted Xu Ping’an with a respectful demeanor upon seeing him.
This scene left Yu Xianlan somewhat astonished.
Two Ninth Rank subordinates?
No, three!
Was this still the same nameless youth from a remote city that she had met in that small place before?
