Rise of the Sword Son-in-Law

Chapter 649: Innate Dao Principle

The little girl looked at Xu Ping’an with a face full of terror.

How could she not be frightened when Xu Ping’an had killed so many by himself?

Xu Ping’an didn’t say much, just tried to appear as amiable as possible.

However, his soul power did not cease to probe the little girl.

At first, he found nothing, but soon, a look of utter shock appeared on Xu Ping’an’s face.

"This is... Innate Dao Principle?" Xu Ping’an was amazed.

Looking at the little girl before him, his eyes were filled with disbelief.

An Innate Dao Principle actually existed within this little girl.

It was as if the Innate Dao Principle was engraved in her very bones, growing along with the little girl.

"How is this possible?" Xu Ping’an was inwardly astonished.

He never expected that he would actually find an Innate Dao Principle.

But unexpectedly, this Innate Dao Principle was housed within an ordinary little girl.

Perhaps frightened by Xu Ping’an’s demeanor, the little girl once again took a few steps back in terror and hid behind Zhou Mengyue.

"Don’t be afraid, I’m not a bad person, my name is Xu Ping’an, you can call me Brother Ping’an, what is your name?" Xu Ping’an asked with a smile.

Yan Zhenling and Liu Yan and others were all somewhat puzzled.

Xu Ping’an seemed very interested in this little girl? Did he discover something?

"My name is Yinyin," the little girl said timidly.

However, she seemed to recognize that Xu Ping’an was not a bad person, her two bright, large eyes stared at Xu Ping’an, filled with curiosity.

"So your name is Yinyin, have you always lived in this village?" asked Xu Ping’an.

"Yes, Yinyin has always lived here, sob... my parents are dead..." The little girl burst into tears.

Seeing this, Xu Ping’an could only offer comfort.

He originally wanted to ask about the Innate Dao Principle in the little girl, but it seemed she did not know about it herself.

"Take her back with you, teach her cultivation, Yan Zhenling, you will be her master, instruct her well," said Xu Ping’an to Yan Zhenling.

"Yes, Hall Master, but what is so special about this little girl?" Yan Zhenling asked.

"You will naturally find out when she grows up. Remember, do not casually reveal any information about her, otherwise it will definitely bring great trouble," Xu Ping’an said.

"Yes, Hall Master," Yan Zhenling immediately responded respectfully.

Since Xu Ping’an did not elaborate, she naturally would not pry further.

She had absolute respect for Xu Ping’an.

In fact, it wasn’t that Xu Ping’an distrusted Yan Zhenling, but he felt that the fewer people who knew about this matter, the better.

Innate Dao Principle!

Born with a length of one hundred thousand meters, this is a complete and intact Dao Principle.

Only now, the little girl could not tap into this power at all.

Only after she made her own breakthrough to the Tenth Rank would she be able to refine it into her own strength.

As for Yu Xianlan, he’d have to find another way.

If it really came down to it, he would give the Dao Principle from Fenghe Immortal Emperor to her father.

After all, he had previously promised Yu Xianlan to help her find an Innate Dao Principle.

Now that the Innate Dao Principle had become one with Yinyin, it was truly impossible to separate them.

Extracting the Dao Principle meant certain death for Yinyin.

"Hall Master, aren’t you returning with us?" Liu Yan asked.

"No, I’m heading to the capital of the Great Qin Immortal Dynasty; I will be going to the Jade Spirit Realm next. The Eternal Palace will be left for you to manage," Xu Ping’an said.

Upon hearing this, everyone was somewhat disappointed.

This guy was accustomed to being a hands-off manager, and now he was candidly not even returning to the sect?

"Additionally, here is a Twelfth Rank Spirit Gathering Array, as well as a Tenth Rank Demon Slayer Thunder Array, keep these safe, along with some Immortal Artifacts. You will manage these core resources of the Eternal Palace, and how to distribute them is up to you," Xu Ping’an said to Yan Zhenling.

Yan Zhenling’s face was one of stupefaction.

So many treasures?

Xu Ping’an was actually giving all of these to her?

"Also, I’m leaving behind the Xuanqing Immortal Vine; its cultivation has reached the Semi-Immortal Realm. From now on, it will stay in the sect to protect the Eternal Palace," Xu Ping’an thought to himself.

A green vine flew out, wrapping directly around Yan Zhenling’s arm.

"Alright, that’s all there is, I should be going," said Xu Ping’an.

Having said that, he stepped into the void and vanished on the spot, turning into a streak of light.

As she watched Xu Ping’an disappear, Yan Zhenling’s eyes were filled with reverence.

"Our Hall Master’s strength really grows by the day; with his current power, I fear his time in the Spirit Realm will not be too calm," Liu Yan said with a smile.

"The Hall Master’s strength is indeed terrifying, probably on par with the Tenth Rank Peak, and what’s more, he can wield the Power of Dao Principles," Yan Zhenling said.

"That strong?" Liu Yan exclaimed in surprise.

Zhou Mengyue, who had remained silent, had an especially complex look in her eyes.

If she had not broken off their engagement back then, could she have stood by his side?

Noticing Zhou Mengyue’s pain, Liu Yan patted her shoulder with a smile and said, "Stop thinking about it; he’s destined to be in a different world than us. That he didn’t kill you is already the best outcome."

"But he has executed my heart," Zhou Mengyue said, clenching her teeth tightly.

Liu Yan heard this and could only shake her head helplessly.

Perhaps for Zhou Mengyue, this was more painful than dying.

...

Xu Ping’an was unaware of these thoughts; at this moment, he was speeding straight toward the capital of the Great Qin Immortal Dynasty.

That an Innate Dao Principle was within a mortal was entirely beyond his expectations.

With his current power, extracting the Innate Dao Principle would be a simple task.

But he could not do it, for removing the Dao Principle would mean the little girl must die.

No matter what, Xu Ping’an could not bring himself to do such a thing.

So Xu Ping’an simply had Yan Zhenling take the little girl away while he would think of another solution.

Xu Ping’an continued on his way, heading straight for the capital.
