Dragon King's Son-In-Law

Chapter 606: Playing Dead

Translator: Noodletown Translated Editor: Noodletown Translated

Having reached peak Nascent Soul Realm, Lingwu Master was nearly 1,000 years old, and no one on Fifth Heaven, Sixth Heaven, and even Seventh Heaven dared to call him ‘little brat’.

However, when Lady Zhen knocked away his light beam with a flick of her finger, Lingwu Master knew that this woman’s strength far surpassed his own!

Also, it seemed that the woman had been here for a long time, but he didn’t notice it despite having powerful spiritual senses.

A sense of danger rose in Lingwu Master’s mind. After a short moment of analysis, he decided to flee!

Lingwu Master was about to run when he realized that his feet were glued to the ground. At the same time, his fingers were immobilized; he couldn’t lift them at all!

Lady Zhen glanced at him for a few seconds before looking at Hao Ren. She moved her gaze lightly without turning her neck, a gesture so beautiful that no words could describe it.

Standing in the valley, Duan Yao was stupefied as she watched Lady Zhen.

“Lady Zhen…” Hao Ren changed his words before he spoke, “Auntie!”

Lady Zhen lifted her pretty hand to cover her red lips while she chuckled, and her beautiful eyes curved into the shape of the new Moon.

“Good nephew. Who is messing with you? Auntie will help you,” she said.

Soul Formation Realm! Soul Formation Realm!

Immobilized, Lingwu Master suddenly remembered the power of Soul Formation Realm cultivators.

“She must be a Soul Formation Realm cultivator who can destroy a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator with one move!” he thought.

However, he still underestimated Lady Zhen! After all, an ordinary Soul Formation Realm cultivator was no match for Lady Zhen!

“Hehe. Thank you for your help, Auntie. However, I don’t need your help yet. I just want the purple gold hairpin to assist me,” Hao Ren said.

His nature essence was recovering, and he could battle with Lingwu Master again in a few moments! If the Sky-Turning Stamp hadn’t struck him on the back, his nature essence wouldn’t have run out so fast!

“The purple gold hairpin is my dharma treasure, and it’s too proud to listen to you,” Lady Zhen chuckled.

She beckoned at the cliff and said, “Little shield, don’t play dead anymore. Are you done after being bombed by a few small Heavenly Lightning Balls?”

She pointed at the cliff, and the golden shield that was stuck in the cliff suddenly rose and flew into Lady Zhen’s hand.

Lingwu Master looked at Lady Zhen in astonishment, realizing that legendary supreme spiritual treasures weren’t weak at all.

“This shield was playing dead due to its fear of this woman, not because of my Heavenly Lightning Balls!” Lingwu Master thought.

What kind of strength could frighten a supreme spiritual treasure into playing dead?

Casually, Lady Zhen tossed the golden shield to Hao Ren and said softly, “Today, I’m in a good mood, so I’ll teach you the Treasure-Controlling Scroll. Memorize it!”

She opened her thin lips and chanted lightly while all the cultivators except Hao Ren found their spiritual senses blocked and their hearing lost!

They had entered a silent world, not able to hear any sound around them.

However, Hao Ren could clearly hear Lady Zhen’s chant while the short passage of Treasure-Controlling Scroll entered his mind through his ears. The words were both complicated and straightforward.

Boom!

Suddenly, all the surrounding cultivators regained their spiritual senses and hearings.

“Ok. I just stopped by on my way, and I won’t deal with little brats on the Nascent Soul Realm.” Lady Zhen waved her hand charmingly and said in a bewitching voice, “Little hairpin, since this little guy calls me Auntie, you may help him occasionally. Of course, if he is too weak, he might be killed! If he dies, you can return by yourself!”

Lady Zhen floated up with the wind into the high sky.

However, her casual words brought chills to Hao Ren.

Red-faced, Lingwu Master still couldn’t move a finger while he froze in the high sky.

“Demonic woman, give back the Kunlun Godly Lamp!”

From a distance came a roar that almost deafened all the cultivators.

“Hehehe, you little guys are still following!” Covering her pretty lips, Lady Zhen turned into a white light and flew to the west in the blink of an eye.

Hua! Hua!

Five lights swept across the sky above Ethereal Summit and followed her to the west.

Five Soul Formation Realm cultivators!

Hovering in the sky above the valley, Lingwu Master knew that they were Soul Formation Realm cultivators judging from their speed and suppression.

After Lady Zhen left, the lock on him was suddenly released, but Lingwu Master’s legs turned to jelly!

Alarmed, he stared at Hao Ren and then looked at the five Soul Formation Realm cultivators who chased after Lady Zhen. After considering for a few seconds, he laughed. “Junior! You are quite good! I like young men like you!”

Duan Yao looked up at Lingwu Master in bafflement.

“I attacked you to test your character. Very good! You are the talented man that I need!” Lingwu Master continued.

“I asked these brats to test you and didn’t expect that they would go overboard! Hahahaha! With my realm, how can I lower myself to bully you, a junior?” He sounded straightforward as if he had been testing Hao Ren.

“I’ll offer you a deal! If you join Sky Mountain Sect, I’ll let all these misunderstandings pass, and you’ll enjoy all the privileges of an elder and have unlimited access to the spirit stones and elixirs! If you like Yao, I’ll make the decision and let you marry her!” Lingwu Master said with a booming voice.

Duan Yao looked at Lingwu Master in astonishment.

However, Lingwu Master’s expression was very serious.

“If you don’t believe me, we can make a life-death oath and take each other’s life token! We can return to Sixth Heaven right now, and I will grant the offer!” Lingwu Master stared at Hao Ren and emphasized each word.

Taking a life-death oath was placing people’s realms and lives as bets so that no one could go back on their words. By taking each other’s life token, people could possess a trace of each other’s spiritual senses through a mysterious method and thus could control each other’s life. In this way, neither parties would dare to play tricks.

At peak Nascent Soul Realm, Lingwu Master showed his sincerity by offering to exchange life tokens.

It was indeed a significant loss when hundreds of Core Formation Realm cultivators were almost killed. However, on the second thought, Lingwu Master felt that it was no big deal if he could recruit Hao Ren, a cultivator who was close to peak Nascent Soul Realm!

“Kid, think carefully! You’ll rank only beneath me but above all others!” Lingwu Master released his suppression in waves.

He was making a bet. If Hao Ren were willing to join Sky Mountain Sect, everything would be fine. However, if Hao Ren refused, then he stood on the opposite side of Sky Mountain Sect, and Lingwu Master would have no choice but to kill him!

“No!” Hao Ren tossed one word at him.

Lingwu Master’s expression stiffened. By joining Sky Mountain Sect, Hao Ren could have unlimited access to cultivation resources, and he could even get Duan Yao.

“How could he refuse such good conditions?!” Lingwu Master thought.

Any cultivator, no matter how many feuds they had with Sky Mountain Sect, would be tempted by the conditions offered by Lingwu Master!

Marrying Duan Yao, a Core Formation Realm cultivator, alone was tempting to many!

On Sixth Heaven, many male cultivators pursued Duan Yao, but Hao Ren had refused Lingwu Master’s offer without hesitation!

“Grand Uncle-Master, he’s the enemy of our Sky Mountain Sect!” Duan Yao raised her head and yelled.

“You know nothing!” Lingwu Master waved his hand, and Duan Yao stumbled and fell onto the grasses.

From his perspective, it was Duan Yao’s fortune to marry a young Nascent Soul Realm cultivator of a great prospect! Sky Mountain Sect would only pour a lot of its resources into Hao Ren and help him reach higher realms if he joined.

Therefore, Lingwu Master who had been stubborn and aggressive softened his stance for the first time.

It might be a blessing in disguise. If he could draw Hao Ren who had excellent connections into Sky Mountain Sect, then the sect would be significantly strengthened!

Even if some elders wouldn’t like this decision, none of them dared to complain before Lingwu Master!

“Kid, don’t make the rash decision and toss away a great future! I give you this chance with great sincerity. I’ll give you the title of Xutian Elder which is beneath me but above the First Elder!”

“Grand Uncle-Master!” Duan Yao tried to dissuade Lingwu Master, but he shot a red light from his little finger, pushing her to the ground again.

Whoosh! Meanwhile, Hao Ren shot one sword energy at Lingwu Master.

“I will repeat it. No!” Hao Ren emphasized each word before shooting out hundreds of sword energies.

Standing by Hao Ren, Xie Yujia drew the demon bow and shot out an arrow.

Half a beat slower than them, Zhao Yanzi launched a dharma note in a hurry. But due to her weak nature essence, the dharma note dropped to the ground before reaching the high sky.

“I gave you a chance to live. Now, I won’t show you any mercy!” Lingwu Master’s huge red ax expanded greatly.

With someone like Hao Ren, if he couldn’t recruit him, he must kill him. Otherwise, there would be endless trouble in the future!

Since Hao Ren refused to join Sky Mountain Sect, all the cultivators in the valley must die, including those Core Formation Realm cultivators of Sky Mountain Sect who had lost their cultivation strength. Death would be a better fate for them than being ordinary mortals!

Lingwu Master was sure that Hao Ren didn’t have signals to send for help. Otherwise, he would have released them long ago!

With his overwhelming killing intent, Lingwu Master’s huge ax released surging red lights!

Kill! Kill them all!

“Golden shield!” Hao Ren flicked out the golden shield in his palm.

Boom! Boom…

In the blink of an eye, the golden shield turned into thousands of smaller shields!

Sensing the presence of Lady Zhen, it tried to play dead after being bit by the Heavenly Lightning Balls.

If Lady Zhen weren’t here, it would have unleashed it power more! After all, it was a supreme spiritual treasure!

How dare a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator to mock it?

Hovering in the air before Hao Ren, the real golden shield tumbled, and all the smaller shields tumbled as well.

All the shields spat out spiritual flames, and the area with a diameter of 500 kilometers was engulfed in fire.

“Purple gold hairpin, it’s your decision to fight or not!” Hao Ren took out the purple gold hairpin from his necklace.

The purple gold hairpin could change into a boat at any time, but it was even more reluctant than the golden shield during other times.

Hao Ren tried to use the Treasure-Controlling Scroll!

The ordinary dharma treasures were only high-level weapons while the dharma treasures with spirit properties must be communicated with!

Through the Treasure-Controlling Scroll, one could communicate with the dharma treasures and find their true powers.

Bang!

The purple gold hairpin grew to the size of an arm and planted itself into the ground.

Boom! The mountains and land within 500 kilometers turned purple!

The suppression of the purple gold hairpin was no less than the golden shield! Purple fires began to rise on the purple land, turning the place into an inferno!

While the golden flames hovered in the air, the purple flames spread on the ground.

Lingwu Master stood in the high sky, stepping on a wave of red light.

Roar! An earth-shaking roar came to Fifth Heaven from Sixth Heaven!

It was the level 6 snow lion, Jitian!

Like a small hill, the black snow lion rushed into Fifth Heaven! As Lingwu Master’s spirit beast, it sensed Lingwu Master’s summon and came to help him!

Level 6 snow lions were equivalent to mid-tier Nascent Soul Realm cultivators, but their combat abilities were on par with top-tier Nascent Soul Realm cultivators!

Hu! Hu!

Jitian, the godly guardian beast of Sky Mountain Sect, rarely left the sect.

Dark-red demon flames shot out of its nose and appeared under its paws!

It was a few hundred meters long, and it was black all over. Its fierce presence made it look like a beast of Hell in the night.

“Kid, the same day next year will be your…” Lingwu Master sneered with red light enveloping his body.

“Kid? Kid? How dare you refer to our Gongzi like that?!”

Two crisp voices came from a distance.
