Pursued by the Top Grade Saintess after Engagement Annulled-Chapter 282 - 280: Xia Tianming’s Warning, Dark Undercurrents in the Divine Domain

Chapter 282: Chapter 280: Xia Tianming’s Warning, Dark Undercurrents in the Divine Domain

Xia Feng gently closed his eyes, believing that Gu Sha would give him a satisfactory outcome.

Thus, he relievedly sank into the world of the Dream Realm Pearl, preparing to continue delving into the Nameless Divine Technique.

The various Cultivation Technique Divine Formulas in the Lower Realm were still too few; now that Xia Feng had broken through to a Demigod, he could clearly feel that the intensity of some previous attacks was no longer sufficient.

For instance, attack methods like Celestial Punishment were rarely used by him now.

Mostly, he just directly applied the overwhelming force of the Great Dao Rules, or used the Void Cauldron.

He lay on the grass, staring at the endless starry sky within the Dream Realm Pearl, his expression suddenly somewhat bewildered.

"Xiao Feng?"

Xia Feng snapped back to reality, looking at Xia Tianming beside him, whom he hadn’t met in a long time, with a hint of surprise in his expression.

"Grandfather, you haven’t come over recently, I thought..."

Xia Tianming chuckled lightly: "I was captured, and there are definitely restrictions on me from above; they... haven’t come down to give you trouble?"

Xia Feng laughed softly: "They did, but I dealt with them. Grandfather, you don’t need to worry about my safety."

"Now that I’ve taken control of the entire Eastern Continent and Northern Continent, once I unify the Western and Southern Continents, and with no worries left for Great Xia in the rear, I’ll come up to find you."

Xia Tianming’s expression bore a hint of caution: "Xiao Feng, war is not so simple; even though you have the Realm of a Demigod, two fists are hard to beat four hands."

Seeing Xia Tianming like this, Xia Feng felt even more distressed. Back when Xia Tianming served as the Imperial War Celestial King and Divine Might Celestial General, the Great Xia Soldiers weren’t brought to such a disadvantage.

Seeing Xia Feng this way, Xia Tianming asked with confusion: "Are you in trouble?"

Xia Feng, always someone who shared good but not bad news, responded: "No, they’re just minor issues that I can handle well. But on your side, Grandfather..."

Xia Tianming snorted lightly: "Until the Dongfang Clan discovers the whereabouts of the Divine Artifact, they won’t do anything to me."

Xia Feng frowned; although Xia Tianming said so, he couldn’t help but worry.

If it were true nothing would happen to him, Xia Tianming would’ve been drawn into the Dream Realm Pearl much more often than recently.

Sometimes, when Xia Feng sent the intent of entering the Dream Realm Pearl to Xia Tianming, he’d refuse it.

This was partly due to Xia Feng recently being engaged in war, marching, and treasure hunting, leading to an unstable rest schedule and infrequent sending of intent.

He sighed and did not inquire further, just as he wanted to discuss the specific insights at the time of igniting the Divine Fire with Xia Tianming, Xia Tianming’s body suddenly experienced some fluctuation.

Xia Tianming looked a bit panicked and stared at Xia Feng: "Recently, don’t draw me into the Dream Realm Pearl. Although this Treasure of yours is amazing, I’m afraid someone in the Divine Domain might trace it back..."

Before he finished his sentence, his entire Divine Sense seemed to be extracted, disappearing from the Dream Realm Pearl.

Already worried about Xia Tianming, Xia Feng now felt even more concerned.

In terms of the Dream Realm Pearl’s time ratio, Xia Tianming had only entered for a moment before being awakened.

What on earth is going on in the Infinite Divine Domain now?

Over on Xia Tianming’s side, he opened his eyes with a moment of fuzziness but quickly came to his senses, staring at the branch Clan Leader of the Dongfang Family, who seemed like a demon.

"Dongfang Changming, you should give up. I won’t tell you anything."

Dongfang Changming’s expression was calm, already accustomed to this hard nut to crack.

He glanced sideways at Xia Tianming hanging in mid-air and slightly tilted his chin. A servant nearby held the God-Beating Whip and lashed at Xia Tianming again.

This whip primarily targeted the Divine Sense, and even though Xia Tianming had now advanced to Yellow Tier Third Layer Martial God, he couldn’t withstand a few lashes.

Seeing him about to faint after only a few blows, someone was already waiting with a Soul-Piercing Needle ready to awaken him.

This kind of torture, he had endured for nearly a year now.

"Xia Tianming, we’ve been dragging this on for so long, and I’m no longer as patient as before."

"Though the Divine Artifact is vital, my time is equally important."

Dongfang Changming looked across coldly: "It’s not that I want to waste my time with you here; it’s mainly because tearing open the wormholes to the Lower Realm too often might attract the attention of other forces."

"However, everything will soon end."

"You’re most concerned about that grandson of yours, right? Your Empire behind you is deluded enough to think a mere Demigod boy could conquer the whole continent."

"What a joke!"

With a trace of venom in his smile, he continued, "You frogs in a well have no idea what lies within the Lower Realm."

"Do you assume such vast land..."

He suddenly stopped, thoughtfully looking at Xia Tianming for a moment, causing him some alarm, fearing that Dongfang Changming might discover the Divine Artifact was with Xia Feng.

Dongfang Changming, narrowing his eyes, looked at him: "I lost three Martial Gods in the Lower Realm. At first, I thought it was a life-saving method you prepared for him."

"Now, it seems the Demon Realm and Netherworld might have also discovered something."

"Could it be that there’s something in the Endless Sea..."

He stopped talking and didn’t even bother whipping Xia Tianming anymore, merely instructing the servant beside him: "Keep a close watch on him and continue with the current punishments daily."

"If he speaks, inform me at once."

With that, he hurriedly left.

Seeing that he did not suspect Xia Feng, Xia Tianming felt finally relieved.

Meanwhile, in the Dream Realm Pearl, Xia Feng remained worried about his grandfather, finding it hard to concentrate on cultivating the Nameless Divine Technique.

The space fluctuated, and Xiao Qingxue appeared in the Dream Realm Pearl.

Both Xia Feng and she were momentarily stunned.

Instinctively, Xia Feng spoke: "It’s daytime now, how do you..."

Xiao Qingxue’s face carried a hint of darkness. She was the first to be taken away by the Divine King, and it had been a long time since she’d been separated from Xia Feng.

Though they could meet frequently in the Dream Realm Pearl, it was not the same as truly being by his side, leading to occasional solitude.

She forced a smile: "After clearing the Secret Realm, my mother isn’t as strict in her supervision anymore."

Noticing something was amiss, Xia Feng held her arm: "Did something happen?"

Xiao Qingxue’s smile faded slightly: "It’s not a big deal; I heard the Netherworld is restless, and other Divine Domains asked my mother to suppress it."

"I have a brother whose cultivation is higher than mine, but he gained less from the Secret Realm. After mother left, he couldn’t sit still and wants to trouble me."

"I happened to sense you were in the Dream Realm Pearl, so I wanted to come in and be with you for a while."

Now that no one else was present in the space, Xiao Qingxue leaned against Xia Feng’s embrace, seemingly feeling a faint transmission of strength from such a gesture.
