"Sister Yu?"
Xu Ping’an had never imagined he would encounter Elder Yu Xin of the Beichen Sword Sect here.
At this mont, Yu Xin seed different from before, having greatly advanced in strength, and had astonishingly reached the Sixth Rank Fourth Layer Realm.
To think that when Xu Ping’an left, Yu Xin’s strength was only at the Fourth Rank.
Now having reached the Sixth Rank Fourth Layer Realm, such a huge improvent clearly wasn’t normal.
Xu Ping’an looked towards the three people accompanying her.
The robes they wore were extrely lavish, and they appeared quite young, all possessing Seventh Rank cultivation.
However, they were all High Rank Seventh Rank, such strength coupled with their youthful age, ant they almost certainly ca from major powers.
"They shouldn’t be from the Great Fla Immortal Dynasty; if not from Heaven Beyond Heavens, then they must be from one of the four superpowers," Xu Ping’an guessed internally.
He noticed Yu Xin didn’t seem familiar with these people, and even sensed so sort of watchfulness from them towards Yu Xin.
If he wasn’t mistaken, Yu Xin must have been coerced by these individuals to co here.
What could be so valuable about Yu Xin that these people would go to such lengths, even wasting a precious spot to bring Yu Xin inside this Heavenly Star Palace?
Could it be because of that treasure the Yu Family possessed?
Was that treasure connected to the Heavenly Star Palace?
The more Xu Ping’an thought about it, the more he felt this was likely the case.
Possibly, the treasure was actually on Yu Xin’s person, not with Yu Chenjian.
The more Xu Ping’an considered it, the more he felt the likelihood was quite substantial.
It was quite possible that Yu Chenjian had passed the treasure to Yu Xin; otherwise, Yu Xin’s rate of advancent could not have been so rapid.
"Sister Yu Xin’s cultivation is of the Earth Attribute," Xu Ping’an suddenly rembered.
Given that this place is also of the Earth Attribute, could them bringing Yu Xin here be a coincidence?
While Xu Ping’an was mulling this over, the group also ca to a stop.
"Senior Brother, do you think what our master wants is really in here?" a female cultivator at the Seventh Rank Seventh Layer Realm inquired.
The female cultivator was fairly pretty, but she didn’t hold a candle to the likes of Li Qingyi or Gu Lingyan.
When the female cultivator posed her question, one of the youths wearing a blue robe revealed a gentle smile and said, "Junior Sister Qin, don’t underestimate this first level; the item Master seeks should be in this Sector Five. If we can obtain that treasure, then our trip here won’t be in vain."
Upon hearing this, the Qin surna female gave a nod, her eyes reflecting a hint of anticipation.
"If Master successfully obtains the treasure, he should be able to advance smoothly to the Eleventh Rank, and then Master will certainly be valued by the Empress, and we too will rise with the tide," the Qin surna female said.
The man in the blue robe nodded his head.
As Xu Ping’an listened to this discussion, his eyes narrowed.
He should have guessed the identity of these individuals by now.
These three must be envoys from the Heavenly Spirit Realm to the Lower Realm.
"Master has spent ti with the forr Immortal Emperor, so the current Empress has always held a grudge against him, but no matter, Master has already shown his loyalty, and sooner or later, Her Majesty will see," the youth in the blue robe said with a smile.
The woman nodded, as if recalling sothing, and asked, "I heard Master was a Sword Servant of the forr Immortal Emperor, is that true?"
"It’s true. Master was indeed appreciated by the forr Immortal Emperor, who reportedly wanted to take him as a disciple, but Master refused. Master, out of gratitude for the life-saving grace of the forr Immortal Emperor, only wished to serve as a Sword Servant. It’s a pity the forr Immortal Emperor strayed from the path, which led to Master’s own delay. Otherwise, Master wouldn’t have gone so many years without the Empress’s favor," the youth in the blue robe explained.
The Qin surna female nodded once more.
"Enough, don’t talk anymore. Have you forgotten the Empress’s command? ntioning that person is a capital offense," a muscular young man leading them interrupted with a cold voice.
Following these words, both of them fell silent, not continuing the topic.
Xu Ping’an, however, was fully taken aback.
He knew who the Master these two were referring to was.
The so-called forr Immortal Emperor was naturally his past self, and back then, he indeed had a Sword Servant.
This Sword Servant was a little girl he had saved unintentionally when he first stepped into the Tenth Rank.
At that ti, that little girl’s entire family had been slaughtered, and she herself was almost killed by her assailants.
By chance, Xu Ping’an passed by and saved her, and afterwards, seeing that she had no ho to return to, he kept her by his side to carry his sword for him.
In reality, at their level, they didn’t really require any Sword Servant.
It was rely finding so occupation to keep the little girl busy.
The little girl was inherently unsuited for cultivation, but later on, Xu Ping’an had spent a vast amount of heaven and earth treasures to change her fate against the heavens, which allowed her to barely manage to cultivate.
It was not at all like what they said, that he wanted to take her as his protégé, but that she refused.
Back then, Xu Ping’an also gave the little girl a na, Xu Lingling.
He treated Xu Lingling as though she were his own sister.
However, Xu Lingling harbored impure thoughts, desiring only to seduce him and rise to the position of his wife.
After he married Ling Qingyao, the forr gradually gave up.
In the end, when he was betrayed by Ling Qingyao, Xu Lingling was the first to defect to Ling Qingyao’s side.
Now, he never expected to still hear news about Xu Lingling.
Even less did he expect to encounter Xu Lingling’s disciple.
"Five hundred years have passed since I died, and Xu Lingling was only at the Seventh Layer. I didn’t expect that now she would have broken through to the Tenth Layer, nor did I expect that Xu Lingling would have taken on disciples," Xu Ping’an chuckled lightly.
It was as if he rembered so past events that should have been forgotten.
Looking at it now, it all seed rather ludicrous.
Regarding Xu Lingling, Xu Ping’an harbored no significant hatred, only feeling that he had been a failure in judging people.
When he was victimized, those who stood by him were few and far between, despite the many he had helped and supported.
Yet, in the end, most had betrayed him, which inevitably filled Xu Ping’an with desolation.
If it weren’t for Yu Xin being here, Xu Ping’an would not bother with these three, even if they were Xu Lingling’s disciples.
But now that these three had kidnapped Yu Xin, Xu Ping’an could not simply stand by.
Still, he was curious about what exactly had attracted Xu Lingling to this place,
to the extent that she sent her own disciples down to the Lower Realm to seek it.
"Senior brother, the Spiritual Pearl is on this person, why don’t we just kill her and take back the Spiritual Pearl? Why bring her here?" a woman surnad Qin frowned as she glanced at Yu Xin.
"We can’t kill her. Now that the Earthwalking Spiritual Pearl has rged with her, killing her might cause the pearl to collapse, so we can’t. We must throw her into the Great Formation to activate it," the white-clad senior brother shook his head.
"This is one of the ancient and terrifying Earth Attribute Great Formations. If she enters the heart of the formation, she will die even more miserably. I just wonder if she can hold up against the formation," the woman surnad Qin laughed lightly.
"She should be able to. Although the Spiritual Pearl has rged with her, it’s still within her body. This pearl was originally located here; it was later taken away by the Emperor of the Great Chu Immortal Dynasty, which is why we see this situation," the green-clothed young man said.
The woman surnad Qin looked at Yu Xin as if she were looking at a dead person.
Yu Xin, however, had an expression of cold indifference.
Xu Ping’an suddenly ca to a realization.
Earthwalking Spiritual Pearl?
So the treasure on Yu Xin is this thing?
It turned out that these three brought Yu Xin here to activate the Earth Attribute Formation at this site and retrieve so kind of treasure.
And since the Earthwalking Spiritual Pearl had fused with Yu Xin’s body, it had led to this situation.
This made him suddenly recall a legend, a legend about the Earth God.
Could it be that the object of this place is the divine object from that legend?
