Pursued by the Top Grade Saintess after Engagement Annulled-Chapter 438 - 434: Li Qingyu’s Defeat and Escape, New Ideas
When Li Qingyu was teleported away, there was still a hint of distortion on her face, as if she desperately wanted to hurl some harsh words.
As a result, Xia Feng stepped forward and was ready to intercept this teleportation with a slash of the Heaven-Burying Sword.
Li Qingyu was too frightened to say anything, focusing all her ability on how to escape.
Xia Feng clicked his tongue lightly; after two attempts, he couldn’t break the light pillar. It must be the life-saving method given to her by the Celestial Sword Divine King.
However, this thing surely has its limitations, but other than Li Qingyu and the Divine King, probably no one knows what those limitations are.
Yet Li Qingyu, heedless, was still clamoring in the Teleportation Light Pillar.
"Wretch, I’ve remembered you all."
"No one has dared to snatch things from me; just wait for my revenge."
"I’ll make sure you can’t survive in the entire Holy Sword Secret Realm, even if you crush the token and escape. I’ll have you hunted in the whole Celestial Sword Divine Domain!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the Teleportation Light Pillar suddenly extinguished, taking Li Qingyu away, disappearing from Xia Feng’s sight.
Xia Feng squinted slightly, truly deserving to be the Divine King’s daughter, indeed with some tricks up her sleeve.
The other women on the side only ended the Ten Extremes Array after watching Li Qingyu’s followers die, emerging from their hidden places.
Sun Yazhu looked worriedly in the direction Li Qingyu left, unable to resist voicing a reminder.
"She knows your and Qingxue’s prowess now, next time she might gather more to besiege you."
In Xia Feng’s eyes flashed a rapid trace of ruthlessness: "Whoever comes, I’ll kill them. If a pair comes, I’ll kill the pair."
"Those life-saving things in her hands will run out eventually; by then, she will certainly meet her doom!"
He bent down to collect the tokens from the bodies of the dead, then stood aside with the women watching the nameless entities in the Holy Sword Secret Realm annihilate the corpses with Sword Qi.
Sun Yazhu’s expression turned more cautious: "If the token is lost, will the same thing happen to us?"
Xia Feng nodded, then said: "Don’t worry, I’ll protect you from ending up like that."
The atmosphere among the women slightly eased, and after bypassing the area, they began searching for other treasures.
Yet, the Holy Sword Secret Realm seemed somewhat odd, perhaps because they were on the fringes of the realm, and they found nothing valuable after a long search.
Instead, Sword Qi containing fragments of the Great Dao of Celestial Sword targeted Xia Feng several times.
He didn’t attack again; instead, he allowed Li Qingxue to absorb it.
After enduring for a day, Xia Feng, with a slightly worried expression, spoke: "What we are doing now feels somewhat wasteful; maybe we should consider another approach."
Li Qingxue curiously leaned over: "What approach? Does my husband have a new idea?"
Xia Feng nodded, then looked around before speaking: "Let’s find a quiet place; it looks like we need to rest for a while."
The women naturally had no objections; their purpose in coming here wasn’t for treasures.
Even if they weren’t particularly favored, they were Divine Maidens in their respective domains, never lacking in treasures.
This trip was more about being with Xia Feng; the Secret Realm was secondary.
After finding a quiet cave, Xia Feng looked at the women: "I’m planning to bring the elders here for cultivation."
The women looked puzzled, then Xia Feng opened his mouth to explain: "When I was previously in the Infinite Secret Realm, I spent almost the first ten days engaged in cultivation."
"Secret Realms generally enhance rewards as time progresses; now that it has just opened, much is in the initial stage."
"After some time, with more exchanges, the level of treasures will heighten, and then we can search for them."
The women naturally had no objections to this decision, but Xia Tianming asked a little confusedly: "You said you want to bring the elders in?"
"In the same way as you’re bringing the women?"
Xia Feng nodded: "Grandfather, you should have realized that there is almost no Divine Power on the Celestial Essence Continent. Though I’ve planted Divine Marrow, the growth of Divine Power will still take a long time."
"The ancestors are old and might not break through if they wait for abundant Divine Power."
"So I’m ready to take a risk; if it works, Great Xia will have more means of self-defense."
Xia Tianming’s expression remained conflicted: "Now that Great Xia has unified the Celestial Essence Continent, no one stands against it."
"If you want past Emperors Xia to enter the Secret Realm, you’ll need to utilize your Dream Realm Pearl."
"They might not spread the news about the Dream Realm Pearl, but can you ensure no one in the Ten Great Divine Domains can search memories?"
Xia Feng paused for a moment, his expression becoming more determined: "Grandfather, precisely because of this, I want the elders to increase their cultivation."
"When the Dongfang Clan sent people down, the feeling of helplessness is something I don’t want to experience again."
Xia Tianming fell silent; though unclear about the events after his capture by the Dongfang Clan, he could infer the struggles Xia Feng endured from the latter’s current demeanor and separation from the women.
After contemplating for a moment, he advised: "It’s your decision; you now have the power to support these actions."
"Just be a little cautious. With just a Void Cauldron, so many were envious, let alone your Dream Realm Pearl..."
The remaining words were left unsaid, but Xia Feng understood his implication, nodding: "Rest assured, Grandfather; I know what I’m doing."
After speaking, he closed his eyes to enter the Dream Realm Pearl.
Simultaneously, in the Dream Realm Pearl, he contacted Father Xia and Mrs. Xia to relay this news.
Details about the Dream Realm Pearl weren’t mentioned, only that Xia Feng had some fortuitous opportunities, allowing him to traverse between worlds, and now wished to smuggle them into the Secret Realm for encounters.
This made almost all the past Emperors Xia excitedly eager to enter the Secret Realm to discover its circumstances.
Xia Feng looked at the nineteen tokens in his hand, his expression slightly worried, deliberating before sending a message back to Xia Naiwen.
"Father, there’s no rush for now. I don’t have enough tokens at the moment; the ancestors should come slowly, there’s no need to hurry."
Xia Naiwen helplessly rubbed his forehead; with such great opportunities and good fortune, how could they not be eager?
