Pursued by the Top Grade Saintess after Engagement Annulled-Chapter 435 - 431: Bringing the Maid into the Secret Realm for Experiments
Li Qingxue shook her head: "Does she really have that much time? This is just Li Qingyu’s first time entering the Holy Sword Secret Realm, so she was just being cautious."
Xia Feng’s expression turned slightly intricate. He glanced at Li Qingxue, then whispered, "You still have me."
Li Qingxue forced a smile, unwilling to continue discussing the topic. Instead, she asked, "Why are you asking this?"
Xia Feng reached out and ruffled her hair: "I’m planning to do something rather bold, and I need to avoid her gaze."
"If she’s always watching here, it makes it hard for me to act."
Li Qingxue’s expression turned a bit expectant: "Are you planning to cause trouble for Li Qingyu?"
Xia Feng paused: "That’s one thing, but what I’m about to do is even more important than that."
Li Qingxue looked puzzled, as if she couldn’t understand what could be more important than dealing with the most troublesome presence in this Secret Realm.
Suddenly, a sword aura shot out from the surrounding peaks, as if consciously aiming directly at Xia Feng and his group.
Xia Feng was startled, pulling out the Heaven-Burying Sword and slashing at the sword aura.
The sword aura was sharp but somewhat scattered. Xia Feng’s light slash caused it to dissipate easily.
He looked at the direction from which the sword aura came with suspicion, wondering if new enemies were hidden within.
The Sword Slave behind Li Qingxue, like a shadow, suddenly explained: "Special sword aura in the Holy Sword Secret Realm."
"The Great Dao of Celestial Sword permeates everywhere here, and from time to time, sword aura carrying the breath of the Great Dao will stab over."
"If a cultivator has already grasped these fragments of the Great Dao, they can easily disperse the sword aura."
"If the cultivator hasn’t grasped these fragments, they’ll have to rely on fate."
"If they’re lucky, they might grasp these fragments of the Great Dao during combat."
"If they’re unlucky..."
The rest went unsaid, as it quietly stood in the shadow of Li Qingxue.
Xia Feng furrowed his brow, not having considered this aspect before.
After quite a while, he spoke with a frown: "Then, it would be a waste for me to cut down these sword auras."
"Qingxue, with your insight, you might gain new understanding of the Great Dao here."
Xia Feng’s understanding of the Great Dao of Celestial Sword was deeper than Li Qingxue’s, making his proposal quite sensible.
However, the Sword Slave shook its head again: "The sword aura will seek a suitable target on its own and won’t transfer."
Xia Feng clicked his tongue, realizing it truly was a matter of fate.
However, he couldn’t worry about this for now and just surveyed the surroundings carefully.
"We need to find two more cultivators, get two more Tokens. I have an idea I want to try."
How coincidental, just as he finished speaking, two cultivators under Li Qingyu approached.
"Haha, we searched tirelessly only for success to come so easily, our good luck has arrived."
"Capture him and take him to Goddess Qingyu, she’ll surely be very pleased."
As they spoke, they drew their Divine Swords, preparing to besiege Xia Feng.
Xia Tianming stepped forward, ready to fight using the Void Cauldron, but Xia Feng stopped him.
"This is what I meant by searching tirelessly. Grandpa, wait behind; I want to try my idea."
As he spoke, he swung his long sword towards the two.
These minor characters weren’t worth Xia Feng’s true strength; with just a few light slashes, they could no longer resist.
Xia Feng took a Token from one of them and examined it closely.
The Tokens to enter the Secret Realm required blood recognition. Previously, he had taken seven Tokens from the dead, and he wanted to try if he could take a Token from the living.
A flame of Li Huo appeared in his palm and began to scorch the Token.
The two defeated on the ground gritted their teeth and spoke: "Give it up. These Tokens are keys personally recreated by the Divine King, your Li Huo can’t possibly damage..."
"Ah!"
Before he could finish, his entire body started twisting as if in extreme pain.
Then suddenly, two golden sword auras appeared in the void above.
Just like before, they descended directly on the two on the ground, turning them into dust.
Watching the two stubborn ones crushed by sword aura, Xia Feng wasn’t sure if he felt relieved or slightly worried.
"I guess I’ll need to take good care of my Token, if the blood mark disappears, the Secret Realm will determine him as an intruder or dead."
Li Qingxue’s expression turned serious as she placed the Sword Talisman close to her.
Xia Feng looked around and found a safe cave, leading the two inside.
Xia Tianming looked confused: "Are we going to cultivate like in the Infinite Secret Realm before seeking opportunities?"
He asked puzzled: "But isn’t the sword aura outside imbued with the Great Dao of Celestial Sword?"
"Even if already understood, trying again could still be beneficial, right?"
Xia Feng took a deep breath: "Grandpa, Qingxue, please guard me while I try something..."
After saying this, he directed his Divine Sense into the Dream Realm Pearl, using its Dream Travel ability to target Li Qingxue’s previous chamber directly.
There were many maids around the Divine Maiden Hall, but Xia Feng carefully selected one who had previously spoken rudely to Li Qingxue, pricking her finger to perform blood recognition on the Token.
With a flash of golden light, the maid was enveloped by the sword aura and teleported directly into the Holy Sword Secret Realm next to Xia Feng.
The Celestial Sword Divine King glanced at the Divine Maiden Hall with some doubt, not finding anything unusual, so he didn’t pay more attention.
Li Qingxue and Xia Tianming were startled by this sudden appearance, but Li Qingxue quickly recognized her.
"Isn’t this the maid from my room?"
"She couldn’t have a Token, does that mean..."
Li Qingxue’s expression shifted from initial confusion and shock to delight, even bordering on ecstatic joy.
Xia Feng withdrew his Divine Sense from the Dream Realm Pearl, a slight smile on his lips.
After about two hours, the Holy Sword Secret Realm didn’t show any signs of attacking the maid, and Xia Feng nodded slightly, feeling more confident about his next plan.
