Rise of the Sword Son-in-Law-Chapter 438 Xu Ping’an’s Decision

```

"So that’s how it is." Xu Ping’an absorbed Huang Ye’s memories.

He instantly understood a lot about the Defying Heaven Alliance and the intentions of Huang Ye’s party this time.

"It seems all the Ninth Rank Experts have gone to the Sixth Layer. Does the Bronze Ancient Palace have a method to enter the Source Ground of Dao Principle?" Xu Ping’an murmured to himself.

He was also wondering why he hadn’t encountered any Ninth Rank Experts on the Third Layer.

It turned out that these Ninth Rank Experts had mostly gone to the Sixth Layer.

The Bronze Ancient Palace, the sleeping chamber of the Primordial Ancient Demon Emperor?

Xu Ping’an understood a lot in an instant.

He didn’t absorb too much of Huang Ye’s memories, as absorbing too much would affect his personality, so he only absorbed some key information.

"No wonder the Defying Heaven Alliance came after me, it was Yuan Chengbing and his group." Xu Ping’an smirked inwardly.

He opened his eyes and looked in Yuan Chengbing’s direction.

Yuan Chengbing immediately turned pale with horror, his face ashen.

Xu Ping’an set his sights on them.

"Brother Xu, we truly had no intentions against you, it’s all the will of our sect elders," Yuan Chengbing immediately said.

Xu Ping’an just sneered.

Not wanting to waste words with them, he threw a punch directly.

The oppressive might of heaven and earth erupted, instantly grinding the four of them into mush.

They didn’t stand the slightest chance to resist.

In front of Xu Ping’an, they were as weak as ants.

The people around, watching this scene, were filled with fear.

Xu Ping’an was too strong, a Seventh Rank Cultivator with combat power comparable to a Ninth Rank.

Just how monstrous was Xu Ping’an?

After dealing with the four, some rewards descended from heaven and earth.

But they were just some True Yuan Mystical Light, and none of these could enhance Xu Ping’an’s strength by much.

However, Huang Ye’s death brought down a good item.

A piece of Superior Grade Immortal Artifact Refining Materials.

"It’s actually Celestial Gold Thunder Iron, a material that Thunder Attribute cultivators dream of for Artifact Refining." A look of pleasant surprise crossed Xu Ping’an’s mind.

With this piece of Immortal Iron, he could refine his own Superior Grade Immortal Artifact weapon.

The weapons he was currently using were all taken from others; since they weren’t custom-made for him, he couldn’t unleash his full strength.

However, with Xu Ping’an’s current level of Artifact Refining, he could probably only refine weapons of the Intermediate Grade Immortal Artifact.

To refine a Superior Grade Immortal Artifact, he would still need some time.

"Young Master, you truly have vast divine skills. To think that you have killed all twenty Eighth Rank Experts," Yan Zhenling flew over, admiration on her face.

The strength Xu Ping’an had displayed was now fully on par with her own.

And Xu Ping’an was still only at Seventh Rank. Once he broke through to Ninth Rank, perhaps even Tenth Rank Experts wouldn’t be his match.

Being a subordinate of Xu Ping’an, Yan Zhenling felt she hadn’t suffered a loss at all.

"These are the storage rings of those Eighth Rank Cultivators. Inside are quite a few Elixirs and Immortal Artifacts. Take them. You can use them to enhance yourself, or use these resources to cultivate your own forces," Xu Ping’an said, tossing over two dozen storage rings to Yan Zhenling.

"For me?" Yan Zhenling’s face was full of stupefaction.

Even without looking, she could imagine how rich the resources inside the storage rings must be.

But Xu Ping’an was actually giving all these things to her, which she found utterly bewildering.

"Yes, for you. These resources aren’t much use to me. Moreover, I need strong allies. If you can become stronger, you’ll be able to help me in the future. If you can’t become stronger, then you’re of no use to me," Xu Ping’an said directly.

```

Yan Zhenling was startled at first, but soon her gaze grew resolute.

"Young Master, rest assured, I will definitely strive to enhance my strength so that in the future I can relieve some of your burdens." Yan Zhenling said earnestly.

Xu Ping’an, however, said nothing more.

Helping Yan Zhenling had been a spur-of-the-moment decision for him.

He had no intention of deliberately cultivating Yan Zhenling; he merely wanted to plant a possibility for himself.

If Yan Zhenling could truly be of help to him in the future, then all the better.

If not, he would have no regrets, as he had only intended to give Yan Zhenling a lift.

"Qing Yu, here are three Ninth Grade Elixirs, one for enhancing Soul Power and two for boosting True Yuan, which I found in their storage rings. You keep them," Xu Ping’an said.

"Alright," Tang Qingyu hesitated for a moment before nodding.

Upon seeing how powerful Xu Ping’an was, he had already thought about becoming stronger.

And to become stronger, one needed resources, so although Tang Qingyu should have refused Xu Ping’an’s offer of resources, she didn’t want to be left far behind by him. Therefore, she decided she would first owe Xu Ping’an and pay him back double later on when she grew stronger.

Xu Ping’an nodded slightly when he saw Tang Qingyu accept them.

His gaze then turned to the Heavenly Dao Lake below.

When he had previously plunged into the Heavenly Dao Lake, he had clearly felt an incredibly heart-palpitating power deep within the lake.

And the character for ’ferocious’ in his mind was also wildly pulsating.

"There’s something underneath Heavenly Dao Lake, and it’s not simple. Perhaps I should go down and take a look," Xu Ping’an mused to himself.

He was entertaining the idea of diving into the depths of Heavenly Dao Lake to investigate.

However, the area below was far too dangerous, and some preparations were required.

"You two wait here for me; I’ll be back soon," Xu Ping’an said.

Soon, Xu Ping’an’s figure vanished from the spot.

A moment later, Xu Ping’an reappeared, carrying a corpse on his shoulder.

"Young Master, what is this?" Yan Zhenling asked, a look of astonishment on her face.

"It’s the corpse of an ancestor from the Great Qin Immortal Dynasty’s royal family. It contains the strongest strike this expert launched before death. I plan to go into the depths of Heavenly Dao Lake to have a look. There seems to be something dangerous down there, so I’m taking it just in case," Xu Ping’an explained.

Yan Zhenling and Tang Qingyu wore surprised expressions on hearing this.

They hadn’t expected Xu Ping’an to have such a trick up his sleeve.

This meant that even if Xu Ping’an couldn’t kill those Eighth Rank Strongmen with his own strength, he still had other means to save his own life.

Just with this corpse, he could stand on invincible ground.

"You two should leave Heavenly Dao Mountain now. I’ll go down and have a look. To avoid unexpected events, it’s best if you stay as far away as possible," Xu Ping’an suggested, remembering the previous volcanic eruption.

"Okay," Yan Zhenling and Tang Qingyu had also heard about the volcanic eruption and quickly nodded in agreement after thinking it over.

Seeing that they agreed, Xu Ping’an dived headfirst into Heavenly Dao Lake.

Onlookers around hastily changed their expressions and began to leave.

They had all heard about the disaster Xu Ping’an had caused on the First Layer.

Therefore, witnessing Xu Ping’an’s intent to explore the depths of Heavenly Dao Lake, they decided to leave at once.

Damn it, this guy was a freak.

Who knew what kind of terrifying scene he might cause? If they didn’t leave now, it might be too late later.

Soon, the Loose Cultivators around swiftly vacated Heavenly Dao Mountain, daring not to linger a moment longer.

Suddenly, Heavenly Dao Mountain had become deserted.

Meanwhile, Xu Ping’an was probing the depths of Heavenly Dao Lake.
