Pursued by the Top Grade Saintess after Engagement Annulled-Chapter 386 - 382: Entering the Mountain Peak to Retrieve the Secret Treasure

Chapter 386: Chapter 382: Entering the Mountain Peak to Retrieve the Secret Treasure

However, the Four Great Clans are indeed the Four Great Clans, especially since these core disciples carry some treasures for self-defense.

Nangong Lian and Ximen Qing activated a protective treasure on their bodies one after another, twisting away to escape the engulfment of the giant mouth.

Ximen Qing’s face was gloomy; before being teleported away, he looked longingly and unwillingly in the direction of the peak.

That’s a secret treasure even more formidable than a Sword Spirit, and now it’s about to fall into Xia Feng’s hands again, how can he accept that?

Especially since this secret treasure aligns with his attributes, who else but him deserves to take it!

Damn scoundrel!

He looked viciously in Xia Feng’s direction, but saw Xia Feng also looking regretfully at the direction Ximen Qing and Nangong Lian had teleported away.

Xia Tianming patted him on the shoulder, "Don’t think too much, the core disciples of the Four Great Clans surely have their ways."

"Besides, only about ten managed to escape, most were swallowed by our Void Vortex."

As he mentioned the Void Vortex, his expression was quite satisfied.

Xia Feng’s talent is truly monstrous; even when merging the Great Dao with Xia Tianming, he never fell behind.

But Xia Feng evidently wasn’t pondering this issue now; he just stroked his chin, clicking his tongue in regret.

"I wasn’t thinking much, if their lives were spared so be it, but how could they use my treasures?"

Xia Tianming’s eyes flashed with confusion for a moment, seemingly not comprehending what Xia Feng was talking about.

Instead, the Sword Spirit, with a childish voice, filled with complaints towards Xia Feng.

"Heavens, are you a devil?"

"Those treasures still belong to them, and you’re already coveting them?"

"What do you mean by using your treasures, isn’t it a bit far-fetched to think about something that’s not yet happening?" 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

Xia Tianming looked somewhat speechless, as if only now realizing Xia Feng was referring to the protective treasures used by those people during their escape.

Those individuals weren’t dead yet, and Xia Feng was already treating those treasures as his own.

Yet he said nothing more, his eyes burning as he gazed into the depths of the mountain.

"I wonder what this secret treasure is, judging by its attributes, perhaps it’s not usable for me."

"I’ll guard the way outside while you go in and take a look; I think with your Great Dao of Li Huo, entering should be quite easy, right?"

Xia Tianming looked around cautiously, not stepping lightly into the range of the golden light.

The strange self-ignition of those people earlier had not escaped his notice.

His specialty was the Great Dao of Space, knowing very little about other Daos, so he did not take the risk.

But Xia Feng, with a somewhat inquisitive expression, glanced at the golden light and suddenly asked the Sword Spirit.

"Sword Spirit, you should know about this secret treasure, right?"

The Sword Spirit’s voice suddenly stammered, "W-What are you talking about, I don’t understand, I don’t know, don’t ask me, I’m just a kid who knows nothing."

Its inherently childish voice now sounded shaky.

Xia Feng raised an eyebrow higher, directly thrusting the Heaven-Burying Sword into the golden light before him.

The Sword Spirit’s voice suddenly increased in pitch, "Ahhh, what are you doing!"

"I’m the Great Dao of Celestial Sword! This is the Great Dao of Li Huo, are you mad using me to explore the way, aren’t you afraid I’ll combust like those Loose Cultivators to show you?"

Xia Feng looked at the Heaven-Burying Sword with a faint smile, "Oh? I’ve never seen an Ancient Divine Artifact self-ignite, are you planning to perform a show for me?"

The Sword Spirit’s voice suddenly got stuck; if it had a physical form now, it would probably be puffing up like a blowfish in anger.

Only the Sword Spirit muttered quietly, "You’re really cautious, stop probing, just envelop yourself with the Great Dao of Li Huo and head straight in."

"The outside layer of golden light is just to filter the primary Dao, there’s no significant danger."

Xia Feng’s expression turned a bit nuanced, "But earlier so many Loose Cultivators were burned to death, the fire seemed to have an immortal attribute, once ignited it never went out."

The Sword Spirit clicked its tongue lightly, "It’s not as sinister as you say, it’s merely an Upper Grade Secret Treasure, and a defensive one at that, how could it have the energy to kill."

"Those Loose Cultivators mostly died because you humans aren’t united."

"If only someone had lent a hand, endured for half an hour, the flames would’ve extinguished themselves."

"Even inside a Secret Realm, we have to abide by the conservation of energy."

Golden flames rose around Xia Feng abruptly, enveloping him completely.

The Sword Spirit’s voice became more eager, "Let’s go, let’s go, let’s get it!"

"I’ve always been curious about whether an Ancient Divine Artifact or an Upper Grade Secret Treasure is more formidable."

The eagerness in the Sword Spirit’s voice made Xia Feng shiver, instinctively wanting to put it away.

Otherwise, once inside the mountain, Xia Feng worried the Sword Spirit would directly control the Heaven-Burying Sword to attack the Defense Secret Treasure.

He gripped the Heaven-Burying Sword more firmly, carefully controlling it, then stepped steadily into the golden light.

That golden light, which could ignite others, merely flickered upon landing on Xia Feng and merged into the flames enveloping his body.

The Great Dao of Li Huo suddenly thickened, intensifying the flames around Xia Feng, surprising him with the change, causing him to roll his eyes silently.

But at least confirming that the golden light posed no great harm to him expedited Xia Feng’s actions somewhat.

Although the celestial phenomenon still loomed in the sky, and the escaping disciples of the Four Great Clans were unlikely to come back and snatch the secret treasure,

good things are always best pocketed sooner rather than later.

With these thoughts, Xia Feng moved deeper into the mountain, the vague emanating fluctuations setting his heart racing with anticipation.

Upon reaching deeper within, he discovered a Golden Silk Armor ablaze with fierce flames.

In the flames, one could faintly see the silhouette of a Three-legged Golden Crow etched on the front of the armor.

Xia Feng chuckled and shook his head, "It’s indeed a good item."

The Great Dao of Li Huo combined with the Three-flavored True Flame aura brought by the etched Three-legged Golden Crow.

Just by glancing at the burning flames heightened Xia Feng’s control over the Great Dao of Li Huo by several degrees.

He concentrated the Great Dao of Li Huo into his palm, then reached into the flames trying to retrieve the Golden Silk Armor from within.

Strangely, as his hand reached out, the flames with the armor would retreat a few steps, avoiding Xia Feng’s grasp, seemingly unwilling to be caught by him.
