Rise of the Sword Son-in-Law

Xu Ping’an quickly returned to the Lieyang Royal Mansion.

At this moment, the Lieyang King and others were unaware that Xu Ping’an had left, and assumed that he was in closed-door cultivation.

However, with the intelligence capabilities of the Lieyang King, he would soon receive the news.

The incident of Xu Ping’an causing a commotion at the Fire Divine Palace would soon reach their ears.

In fact, it wasn’t just them, even the powers from Heaven Beyond Heavens would receive this news.

Some powerful figures from those forces were even blocking the exits of the Imperial Capital City, preventing him from leaving.

Sure enough, before long, the door to Xu Ping’an’s courtyard was knocked open.

The Lieyang King, Situ Lie, walked in.

"Did you go to the Fire Divine Palace?" Situ Lie hurriedly asked.

"Hmm, I took a little stroll there," Xu Ping’an said with a smile.

"A little stroll you say, I heard you broke through the defenses of the Divine Flame Hall and even gained the inheritance of the Divine Flame Hall, and had a big fight with the elders of the Fire Divine Palace?" Situ Lie exclaimed in astonishment.

He was stunned when he received these pieces of intelligence.

He had originally thought Xu Ping’an was in closed-door cultivation, and never expected him to have caused such chaos at the Fire Divine Palace.

If those powers knew Xu Ping’an was in his mansion, they would certainly tear it apart.

"Elder Situ, there’s no need to worry, they do not know my identity as Wu Qing, so I won’t implicate the Lieyang Royal Mansion," Xu Ping’an responded with a smile.

Hearing this, Situ Lie also let out a sigh of relief.

"What do you plan to do next? Right now, strong figures from all the major powers are scattered throughout the Imperial Capital, and it is said that many strong figures are searching for you," Situ Lie asked with some concern.

"Let them search, I will continue to participate in the sacred scriptures," Xu Ping’an said with a laugh.

"You still want to take part in the sacred scriptures?" Situ Lie was somewhat surprised.

He had originally thought Xu Ping’an would not do so.

But he never expected Xu Ping’an to still plan on participating in the sacred scriptures, that was quite audacious of him.

"Of course, I have to participate. It is said that there is a secret to this sacred scripture event, and I might even witness quite a spectacle," Xu Ping’an said with a smile.

This time, the sacred scriptures event would definitely have something important going on.

The inheritance of the sacred scriptures might be secondary, so Xu Ping’an was also curious about what the Great Flame Immortal Dynasty was up to.

"I’ve heard about this as well, it is said that this sacred scripture event seems to be related to an ancient holy sect, and it may be that the ruins of an ancient holy sect have been discovered," Situ Lie said.

"The ruins of an ancient holy sect?" Xu Ping’an was somewhat astonished.

He hadn’t heard his aunt mention this point.

It seemed that Situ Lie’s intelligence was stronger than he had imagined.

"I’ve heard that you now have Semi-Immortal level combat power?" Situ Lie asked thoughtfully.

"Somewhat close to that, would you like to try, elder?" Xu Ping’an said with a smile.

"I would, indeed. Let’s spar a little. I want to see just how strong you really are," Situ Lie nodded.

When he heard that Xu Ping’an had Semi-Immortal level combat power, he had already developed the desire to fight Xu Ping’an.

How could he possibly pass up this opportunity now?

"Then let’s go to the martial arts field, there’s no way to fully exert ourselves here," Xu Ping’an said with a smile.

"Good, I’ll go prepare right now. Also, we can’t expose your strength, so I need to seal the martial arts field," Situ Lie said immediately, proceeding to prepare.

Half an hour later, the martial arts field was cleared out, and a defensive array that prevented prying eyes was added.

However, there were two additional spectators.

One was Situ Xingfeng, and the other was Situ Qianqian.

In the middle of the martial arts field, Xu Ping’an and Situ Lie stood facing each other.

Both men were bursting with vitality and impressive auras.

"Why does father want to spar with Brother Xu again? Isn’t this bullying?" Situ Qianqian complained with displeasure.

"Perhaps Brother Xu has made some breakthroughs during his cultivation retreat, and father is itchy for a challenge, that’s why he wants to spar. But don’t worry, father always controls his strength and won’t hurt Brother Xu," Situ Xingfeng interjected.

"That’s still bullying. Disgraceful, picking on the younger generation every day," Situ Qianqian grumbled unhappily.

Hearing this, Situ Xingfeng shook his head helplessly.

Why was this girl elbowing out of the family?

However, he also felt his father was a bit excessive. Even if Xu Ping’an had made some breakthroughs, how could he possibly be a match for his own father?

Situ Qianqian’s words, naturally, also reached the ears of Xu Ping’an and Situ Lie.

"Look at my daughter, she’s already accusing me of bullying you before we even start," Situ Lie said helplessly.

Xu Ping’an let out a wry smile and said, "Don’t worry, elder, she will feel sorry for you soon enough."

"Oh? You seem very confident, young man," Situ Lie raised his eyebrow with interest.

"Soon enough, you will see," Xu Ping’an replied with a faint smile.

"Good, I want to see what level your strength has reached to make you so confident," Situ Lie responded, as a surge of fighting spirit emerged in his eyes.

Xu Ping’an smiled slightly, his demeanor calm.

Before, facing Situ Lie, he had felt an overwhelming sense that he could not match up. But now, he felt like Situ Lie might not be as formidable as before.

"Elder, please make your move," Xu Ping’an said with a smile.

Situ Lie, seeing Xu Ping’an’s composed manner, felt a surge of displeasure.

This young man’s attitude was as if he did not consider him a challenge at all.

"Hmph, then don’t blame me for being too harsh," Situ Lie said with a cold huff.

With that said, his figure disappeared from the spot, and his fist, charged with terrifying Spatial True Elemental fluctuations, smashed fiercely towards Xu Ping’an.

"Great Void Quaking Fist? This is one of the killer moves created by my father combining the Rift Sky Secret Technique. Why would father use his killer move straight away? Could it be that father intends to kill Brother Xu?" Situ Xingfeng immediately exclaimed.

"Impossible, why would father want to kill Brother Xu?" Situ Qianqian also grew anxiously tense.

Both were somewhat in disbelief.

It was surprising to see their father use his killer move right from the start.

But the next moment they were stunned.

They saw Xu Ping’an effortlessly punch out, and their father rapidly flew backward.

"What?"

"How is this possible?"

The siblings were dumbfounded.

Their father used a killer move and was casually sent flying by a single punch from Xu Ping’an?
