Rise of the Sword Son-in-Law-Chapter 471 Preparing to Rob

"You don’t need to overthink it; your strength is still quite weak. If there really is someone scheming behind your back, you are yet of no use to them. You may just be a disposable piece they dropped." the Demon Emperor explained.

Xu Ping’an remained silent, without a response.

However, he knew the Demon Emperor was right; with his current level of cultivation, he was far from the time when the person behind the scenes would harvest him.

"Senior has yet to mention, why did you leave a Soul Mark here, waiting for me?" Xu Ping’an’s gaze fell upon the Demon Emperor.

He suddenly felt that these ancient and primordial beings were quite detestable.

They seemed to be hiding, orchestrating a grand chess game from behind the scenes.

This gave Xu Ping’an the urge to rush over and flip the chessboard.

The Demon Emperor looked at Xu Ping’an and said with a light chuckle, "Actually, the reason I left a Soul Mark is because I want you to do something for me."

"Please speak, Senior," Xu Ping’an replied.

"It’s not something difficult; you just need to help me find an item in this world known as the Emperor Soul Pearl," the Demon Emperor said.

"Emperor Soul Pearl? What is it?" Xu Ping’an asked confusedly.

"You don’t need to know the specifics. Of course, I won’t let you toil in vain; this item is a reward I am giving you in advance. Once you find the Emperor Soul Pearl, I will give you a bigger reward," the Demon Emperor said.

Upon finishing, the Demon Emperor waved her hand, and a pair of purple scissors appeared before Xu Ping’an.

Xu Ping’an was startled—An Immortal Artifact?

"This item is known as the Purple Sky Scissors, a High Grade Immortal Artifact, and it possesses a special ability. Once you acknowledge it as your master, you will naturally understand," the Demon Emperor explained.

A High Grade Immortal Artifact?

Xu Ping’an was somewhat surprised; he had not expected the Demon Emperor to actually give him a High Grade Immortal Artifact.

This was still the first High Grade Immortal Artifact he ever owned.

As an Artifact Refiner, he recognized the extraordinary nature of these scissors at first glance.

A Low Grade Immortal Artifact has an inscription number between thirty-six and one hundred.

An Intermediate Grade Immortal Artifact has an inscription number between one hundred and three hundred.

A High Grade Immortal Artifact has an inscription number between three hundred and six hundred.

But the inscriptions on a High Grade Immortal Artifact range between six hundred and a thousand.

The inscription number on this High Grade Immortal Artifact had already reached five hundred and eighty.

Such an artifact was close to the peak of High Grade Immortal Artifacts.

With Xu Ping’an’s current level, even if he were refining artifacts, he could forge at most just under a hundred inscriptions.

Therefore, just the inscriptions alone on this High Grade Immortal Artifact, numbering five hundred and eighty, highlighted its extraordinary nature.

"Thank you, Senior," Xu Ping’an didn’t hesitate and immediately acknowledged the Purple Sky Scissors as his own.

The next moment, a surge of information about the Purple Sky Scissors entered his mind.

Seeing this information, Xu Ping’an’s face also showed an extremely surprised expression.

"This item can actually sever the Dao?" Xu Ping’an said incredulously.

"Yes, these Purple Sky Scissors can indeed sever the Dao. It can be said that even the Dao of those below the Immortal Emperor cannot withstand the attack of the Purple Sky Sword, so you should understand the value of this item now, right?" the Demon Emperor said.

Xu Ping’an couldn’t help but swallow.

Although the Purple Sky Scissors were a High Grade Immortal Artifact, this single ability alone was already invincible.

But it had other capabilities too, such as severing True Yuan and severing Soul Power.

As long as it is energy, it can be directly severed with a single snip.

This is definitely a heaven-defying ability.

Another person’s attack, snipped in half.

It can be said that the Purple Sky Scissors are an extremely heaven-defying Immortal Artifact.

"Thank you for the treasure, Senior," Xu Ping’an gratefully said right then and there.

"The gift I bestow upon you also comes with conditions; you must devote all your efforts to helping me find the Emperor Soul Pearl," the Demon Emperor said.

"Junior will do his utmost." Xu Ping’an nodded.

Although he didn’t know what the Emperor Soul Pearl was, he agreed to it anyway.

Just having the Purple Sky Sword made it a good deal for him.

If he really found it in the future, repaying the Demon Emperor with a favor wouldn’t be such a bad idea.

"Since that is the case, you may leave now," the Demon Emperor issued the order to dismiss him.

Xu Ping’an nodded, slightly bowed, and then vanished from the spot.

When he reappeared, he was back in the great hall he’d been in before.

"Xu Ping’an, where did you go?" Yu Xianlan stepped forward and asked as soon as she saw Xu Ping’an appear.

"Human pet, were you thinking of slipping away by yourself?" the Savage Ape King glared at Xu Ping’an.

"I had no thoughts of slipping away. If I did, why would I come back?" Xu Ping’an explained with a smile.

"Then where did you go?" the Savage Ape King glared at him.

"I went to meet the Demon Emperor," Xu Ping’an said with a smile.

"The Demon Emperor?" Both the Savage Ape King and Yu Xianlan were shocked.

"The Demon Emperor is still alive? In the Bronze Ancient Palace?" Yu Xianlan asked urgently.

"No, it was just a Soul Mark," Xu Ping’an replied.

Yu Xianlan breathed a sigh of relief on hearing this.

She had thought the ancient Demon Emperor had truly appeared.

"What did she say to you when you saw her?" Yu Xianlan continued to ask.

"She asked me to find something for her. Do you know about the Emperor Soul Pearl?" Xu Ping’an inquired.

"Emperor Soul Pearl? I’ve never heard of it, but I have heard of the Emperor Soul Tree. It’s said to be a Divine Tree in the Divine Realm, rumored to help condense shattered Divine Souls." Yu Xianlan spoke.

The Emperor Soul Tree?

Xu Ping’an couldn’t help but frown.

There didn’t seem to be any connection between the Emperor Soul Pearl and the Emperor Soul Tree, right?

"Forget it, let’s not talk about that. What are you looking for in the Bronze Demon Palace?" Xu Ping’an asked.

"I just wanted to see if there is a method to open the Source Ground of Dao Principle in the Bronze Demon Palace. I’m not interested in other treasures," Yu Xianlan said.

Xu Ping’an nodded.

For Yu Xianlan, saving her father was the top priority.

Nothing else mattered.

"I haven’t seen anything related to the Source Ground of Dao Principle yet," Xu Ping’an spoke up.

He had briefly used his perception before and hadn’t sensed anything that could open the Source Ground of Dao Principle.

"Human pet, where is my tribe’s treasure?" the Savage Ape King quickly asked.

"Savage Ape King, Your Excellency, please don’t rush. I have found the location of your tribe’s treasure, but there’s a bit of trouble. There are two Ninth Rank Cultivators in the great hall fighting over your tribe’s treasure," Xu Ping’an started explaining.

"Who? Take me there, daring to fight over my tribe’s treasure." The Savage Ape King was furiously indignant.

"Don’t rush. They can’t get their hands on the treasure yet, and with your current strength alone, it’s not certain you could defeat them," Xu Ping’an said with a smile.

"Then what do you suggest?" the Savage Ape King was anxious.

Xu Ping’an smiled slightly and said, "This Bronze Demon Palace is full of treasures, an excellent place to enhance one’s strength. Why don’t we seize this chance to rob a few people first, take their treasures, and then go after the tribe’s treasure later?"

"Robbery? Xu Ping’an, are you implying you want to kill people?" Yu Xianlan looked at Xu Ping’an in surprise.

"Correct. Some people must be dealt with, and I can use this Great Formation to dispose of a bunch of them," Xu Ping’an’s eyes flashed with fierceness.

Yu Xianlan didn’t say anything, but her heart felt a chill.

She suddenly thought that one should not offend Xu Ping’an, no matter what.

If one did offend him, then they should just wait for his retaliation.
