Pursued by the Top Grade Saintess after Engagement Annulled-Chapter 470 - 466: Entering the Holy Sword Pavilion, the Nine-Star Sword Pool Appears
Some of the surrounding geniuses had a puzzled look, with a bit of curiosity, even wanting to come over to make friends with Xia Feng.
The exception was Li Qingyu across from them, whose gaze at Liu Yu and Xia Feng, if capable of becoming tangible, might have shredded them to pieces by now.
Xia Feng raised an eyebrow, glanced at Li Qingyu behind him, and looked at her murderous intent with interest, then retracted his gaze toward Liu Yu.
"Just a verbal apology?"
Liu Yu was momentarily stunned, then his expression became tangled. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮
Previously, when encircling Xia Feng, he had promised to give him two pieces of Upper Grade Divine Marrow after leaving.
But now, judging from Xia Feng’s demeanor, it was clear he did not want to delay the matter until after leaving the Secret Realm.
However, the items Liu Yu had on him were all life-saving items, none of which were suitable for giving to Xia Feng.
Xia Feng said nothing, just stood there looking at the Holy Sword Pavilion in the distance, seemingly indifferent to whether Liu Yu compensated him or not.
Yet, Liu Yu, being savvy, could understand people’s emotions and knew that if he didn’t resolve this issue today, it would be uncertain whether he could leave at all.
He gritted his teeth, took out three jade tokens from his Storage Ring, and handed them over, trembling with distress.
"Brother, it was my fault. These three jade tokens can withstand three attacks from the Celestial God Realm and are invaluable life-saving items."
"Take them..."
As he handed the jade tokens to Xia Feng, his hand trembled slightly, and he ended up forcefully placing them in Xia Feng’s hand.
Xia Feng raised an eyebrow and looked at the inscriptions on the three jade tokens, which seemed consistent with Liu Yu’s description, and then handed them over to Xia Tianming and Li Qingxue.
Xia Feng himself had the protection of Divine Armor, and Li Qingxue had multiple safeguards from the Celestial Sword Divine King.
So Xia Feng gave two tokens to Xia Tianming and one to Li Qingxue.
Nearby, Liu Yu shut his eyes and then forced a smile, quietly saying, "Brother, do you think..."
Xia Feng patted him on the shoulder: "Alright, you have good judgment. Don’t be foolish and be manipulated by others next time."
After saying that, he let the matter drop.
Liu Yu seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and dared not disturb Xia Feng any longer, quickly standing not far beside him, glancing in his direction occasionally.
Now and then, other families’ geniuses came over with curiosity to ask Liu Yu about Xia Feng’s identity, but Liu Yu couldn’t say.
Outwardly, Xia Feng always said he was Li Qingxue’s guest, subordinate.
However, seeing their intimate manner, Liu Yu felt they didn’t seem like ordinary guest relationships and suspected there were many things he didn’t understand.
He didn’t dare to make random guesses, generally saying they were two esteemed figures not to be offended, and then he dismissed them.
While everyone’s thoughts were subtly brewing, Xia Feng’s gaze suddenly turned toward the direction of the Holy Sword Pavilion, sensing its descent reaching the final stage.
Nearly everyone stopped talking, bodies tense, seeming ready to rush into the Holy Sword Pavilion at any moment.
The golden light was completely absorbed into the Holy Sword Pavilion, revealing its ancient and unique patterns.
Xia Feng’s gaze fell on a nearby pillar, and those patterns resembled the ones he had initially seen on the stone pillars at the Sword God Hall, seemingly crafted with the same engraving technique.
Xia Feng wore an inexplicable expression, seemingly pondering the relationship between the two.
The four large doors of the Holy Sword Pavilion slowly opened, inside shrouded in mist as if obscuring all the scenes within.
Xia Feng instinctively gripped the Heaven-Burying Sword, as if fearing some Exotic Beast like a Sword Dragon might suddenly leap out from within.
After waiting for a while, the mist showed no sign of dispersing, still obscuring the inside.
Someone, unable to hold back, shouted lowly, "We’ve come this far, are we going to be scared away by this elusive mist?"
Then this person directly dived into the large doors of the Holy Sword Pavilion, straight into the mist inside.
With someone taking the first step, those behind, fearing to miss the inheritance, surged forward eagerly, rushing into the Holy Sword Pavilion one by one.
Xia Feng wasn’t in a hurry, watching as several people entered, even Li Qingyu impatiently plunged into the Holy Sword Pavilion, then closely examined the mist.
Li Qingyu knew the inheritance strategy, and since she dared to enter directly now, there should not be any life-threatening hazards, Xia Feng frowned and said, "Let’s go, be careful, don’t stray too far apart."
The three slowly flew toward the doors of the Holy Sword Pavilion, forming a stark contrast with those frantically vying for entry.
Yet, since Liu Yu treated him with exceptional respect earlier, those competing didn’t dare provoke him, instead making way for him to pass through, only resuming their tussles and fights once he entered.
Xia Feng, cautiously stepping into the mist, found himself in a massive plaza.
This place was likely filled with the Great Dao of Space, considering that from the outside, the Holy Sword Pavilion didn’t appear to contain such a large plaza.
Those who had entered earlier stood scattered, their expressions still carrying traces of vigilance.
On the plaza, nine large pools intersected, with Sword Qi turbulently churning within them, seemingly poised to attack those nearby at any moment.
The closer the pool to the entrance, the weaker the Sword Qi within.
The closer the pool to the center of the Holy Sword Pavilion, the stronger the Sword Qi within.
The innermost pool even looked extremely dangerous at just a glance from Xia Feng.
Nearby, Li Qingyu sneered as she looked at Xia Feng and his companions: "Kids, even if you made it here by luck, it’s no use anymore."
"The water in these pools is formed by the liquefied Sword Qi and Sword Intent. Even if you have a good grasp of the Great Dao of Celestial Sword, there are various types of Sword Beasts in the Sword Pools formed by the Sword Qi."
"The stronger one’s grasp of the Great Dao of Celestial Sword, the stronger the Sword Beasts they will face."
The malice was apparent in her voice as she coldly continued, "And you haven’t fully mastered the Great Dao of Celestial Sword in the Blood Dragon Sword Heart, right?"
"Haha, unless you have fully consumed an entire Blood Dragon Sword Heart, today these Sword Pools will be your burial ground!"
Xia Feng’s mouth twitched slightly, and for a moment, he actually wanted to ask her how she knew they had consumed the entire Blood Dragon Sword Heart.
But such words felt overly bold, and Xia Feng hesitated, ultimately deciding not to provoke Li Qingyu further.
