Rise of the Sword Son-in-Law-Chapter 414: Expel the Tiger and Swallow the Wolf

"How about that, I wasn’t lying, was I? There really is a cave abode, and the Xuanqing Immortal Vine is inside."

Xu Ping’an said with a smile upon seeing the shocked faces of everyone around him.

However, as he spoke, he also felt somewhat surprised inside.

When the middle-aged beautiful woman slashed through the waterfall, he distinctly felt an incredibly dense wave of Wood Attribute True Strength rush toward him.

It seemed that inside this cave abode, there were not only soul-related treasures as Cang Xue had mentioned, but also Wood Attribute treasures.

Since it’s related to the Wood Attribute, then perhaps the possibility of the Xuanqing Immortal Vine being inside was quite real.

"How did you know there was a cave behind here?" Yun Feiyu looked sharply at Xu Ping’an.

"I read about it in an ancient book belonging to one of my elders, which also mentioned the presence of strong Wood Attribute treasures. The Xuanqing Immortal Vine must be inside," Xu Ping’an explained.

"He’s not wrong. I truly felt a rich Wood Attribute energy surging out from the cave," said the Eighth Rank Second Layer Realm female disciple immediately.

Upon hearing this, the crowd believed it to be true to some extent.

Even the middle-aged beautiful woman was visibly excited at this moment.

Although the location of the Xuanqing Immortal Vine was still uncertain, the cave was exceedingly hidden, and it was possible that precious treasures existed within it.

Such treasures, if they could be obtained, might yield an even greater harvest than the Xuanqing Immortal Vine.

"Let’s go and take a look inside, but everyone be cautious," the middle-aged beautiful woman said at once.

The disciples of the Wind Radiance Sect were also full of excitement.

If their initial search for the Xuanqing Immortal Vine was on behalf of the middle-aged beautiful woman, the discovery of this cave abode, however, offered them hope.

For within this cave, there might be chances they were seeking.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"

The middle-aged beautiful woman took the lead and dashed directly toward the direction of the cave.

Yun Feiyu followed closely behind her, with other disciples quickly trailing.

Xu Ping’an and his group were not abandoned but were guarded by two Seventh Rank Peak Level disciples, staying at the rear of the team.

"Xu Ping’an, how did you know there was a cave behind here? Is the Xuanqing Immortal Vine really in there?" Tang Qingyu hastily transmitted her voice to Xu Ping’an to ask.

"Someone else told me about it. As for whether the Xuanqing Immortal Vine is in there, I don’t know," Xu Ping’an said.

"So you lied to them?" Tang Qingyu asked, her face full of surprise.

"Not exactly. There truly are treasures inside the cave, and they’re even more precious than the Xuanqing Immortal Vine," Xu Ping’an said.

"Then why did you tell them? You couldn’t possibly have taken a liking to that woman, could you?" Tang Qingyu said with a trace of resentment.

"What are you thinking about? That woman looks alright, but she’s just a withered flower left over by others. Do you think I’d be interested in her? I told her that to lead her in here. There’s a very strong Killing Formation inside the cave. Be careful and don’t lose your life," Xu Ping’an warned immediately.

Upon hearing this, Tang Qingyu felt a surge of delight.

So that was the strategy, Xu Ping’an was using them.

However, while she was pleased, she was also amazed by Xu Ping’an’s prowess, having led these people into this place.

Once they entered the Killing Formation, their prospects would likely be grim.

Using one to rid another, Xu Ping’an’s move was indeed seamless.

Even she had not discerned Xu Ping’an’s true intentions.

"Whoosh!"

Soon, the group of people broke through the waterfall and rushed into the cave.

The waterfall’s rapid flow was nothing for these powerful individuals.

The cave was spacious, with a vast interior.

What they saw was a long corridor that seemed very deep, at least fifty meters.

The rock walls around the corridor were exceptionally smooth, not giving a sense of oppression as they walked, with a height of around five meters and a width of about ten meters.

At the end of this corridor was a wooden door, robust and majestic.

The wooden door was not completely closed, leaving a small gap ajar, obscuring the view inside.

"It’s actually a wooden door made from millennium golden-threaded nanmu, an extremely precious Immortal Wood with a strong hardness, an excellent material for Forging Immortal Artifacts, and even usable as the base for some Great Formations. The owner of this cave actually used it to construct a door," exclaimed an Eighth Rank disciple in shock.

The other disciples also looked on in amazement.

Using millennium golden-threaded nanmu to make a door, how extravagant could that be?

The owner of the cave must be extraordinary, and just this door was a highly valuable treasure. What about the things inside?

The disciples of Wind Radiance Sect were all incredibly excited, their eyes blazing with intense light.

The middle-aged beautiful woman and Yun Feiyu were also surprised, as at this moment they felt the extraordinariness of this cavern as well.

Inside this cavern must be the dwelling of a super powerful cultivator.

And clearly, this cavern had not been explored by anyone yet.

A treasure trove!

They had found an excellent treasure site.

Even the middle-aged beautiful woman felt an intense surge of excitement at this moment.

Even the three Seventh Rank Cultivators who had been brought in bound were astonished, and then they looked at Xu Ping’an as if he were an idiot.

It was as if they were saying: Fool, to come across such a treasure trove and actually reveal it, you must be regretting it to the point of turning green.

Xu Ping’an’s face indeed bore an expression of regret, but his heart was filled with surprise.

"Go on, this is a cavern with tremendous opportunity; what are you waiting for?" Xu Ping’an kept telling himself internally.

As if having heard Xu Ping’an’s words, a disciple of the Eighth Rank Third Layer Realm immediately rushed out towards the wooden door.

Seeing this, Xu Ping’an was immediately delighted.

"Quick, don’t let Zhao Kai get ahead," another Eighth Rank disciple immediately followed with his command.

Seeing this, the other disciples also got excited and followed in the direction of the wooden door.

Though they were disciples of the same sect, when it came to treasures, would the other party give them up?

In the face of treasures, what sect fellowship could there be?

Yun Feiyu also rushed out.

"Wait a minute," the middle-aged beautiful woman seemed to sense something amiss and quickly shouted.

But nobody listened to her command at all.

All five of the Fifth Rank experts charged out.

The two Seventh Rank Peak Cultivators guarding Xu Ping’an and the others hesitated for a moment before they too charged out.

They could not pass up such an opportunity.

"Buzz!"

However, just as they charged out about twenty meters or so.

The walls on both sides suddenly started to writhe, and then sharp wooden spears shot out violently from the walls.

Their speed was extremely fast, and each wooden spear contained incredibly powerful force.

"Puchi!"

The disciple who was the first to rush out, an Eighth Rank Fourth Layer Realm disciple, was immediately turned into a sieve by seven or eight wooden spears.

"No..."

The disciple let out a reluctant scream.

But in the next instant, his life force rapidly drained away, and he soon lost all signs of breath.

"Ah..."

At the same time, screams also emerged from the other disciples.

Another Eighth Rank Second Layer Realm disciple had his thigh pierced by a wooden spear that had shot up from the ground, only to be subsequently impaled through the chest by a thick wooden spear from above, pinning him to the ground.

Meanwhile, another Eighth Rank Fourth Layer Realm disciple also experienced a fierce attack, having his chest pierced by a wooden spear.

Luckily, Yun Feiyu promptly grabbed him and withdrew, saving his life; otherwise, he would have died as well.

The middle-aged beautiful woman also acted in time, pulling back an Eighth Rank Second Layer Realm cultivator to safety.

The female disciple, having not ventured deep, managed to avoid a few spears and retreated safely.

But the two Seventh Rank Peak cultivators were not so lucky; they were killed on the spot by the wooden spears, life extinguished.

Four of the eight disciples died in an instant.

Seeing this, Xu Ping’an’s face also revealed a faint smile.

The Wood Attribute Killing Formation was indeed strong; ordinary Eighth Rank Cultivators would find it difficult to dodge in such a confined space.

And the wooden spears were engraved with formations, capable of breaking through True Yuan and Soul Defense.

However, it was a pity that neither Yun Feiyu nor the middle-aged beautiful woman had perished.
