Pursued by the Top Grade Saintess after Engagement Annulled-Chapter 343 - 339: Dongfang Zhuangzhuang Lost His Way

Chapter 343: Chapter 339: Dongfang Zhuangzhuang Lost His Way

The expressions of these people grew more unpleasant one by one, yet they all wished they could swarm Xia Feng immediately and surround him.

They thought that no matter how capable Xia Feng was, he was just one person. Surely, with so many of them, they could control Xia Feng?

If they could capture Xia Feng and obtain the Ancient Divine Artifact, their status would surely elevate further.

Xia Feng sneered, initially hesitating whether to kill all these people.

But now it seemed like there was no reason to hesitate; the Dongfang Clan was beyond saving.

In mid-air, a strange change in the heavens took place.

Suddenly, the sky plunged into darkness, and even people within arm’s reach couldn’t see each other.

Everything seemed to fall into a bizarre chaos.

Xia Feng gripped the sword handle, while the Great Dao of Celestial Sword madly surged into the blade.

The Heaven-Burying Sword, infused with the Great Dao, joyfully resonated and simultaneously returned to Xia Feng an indefinable understanding of the Dao.

This accumulated comprehension of the Dao made Xia Feng’s eyes seem to contain a galaxy.

He raised the Heaven-Burying Sword and slashed horizontally into the void, leaving a sword mark.

Afterward, he seemed exhausted, leaning on the Heaven-Burying Sword in a state of superficial understanding.

Beside him, Xia Tianming looked at him worriedly, seemingly wanting to ask why this strike seemed ineffective, yet Xia Feng appeared greatly drained.

Having experience using Ancient Divine Artifacts, he worried if Xia Feng’s Divine Power was insufficient and whether the artifact had exhausted him, causing a backlash due to an unsuccessful Sword Technique.

But seeing Xia Feng’s expression showing some enlightenment, he feared that speaking might interrupt his realization.

The people enveloped in darkness below were initially panicky but, upon discovering no apparent danger, regained some courage.

"Everyone, calm down. This might just be a Domain with no special offensive capabilities."

"Exactly, we’ve so many people here, how could one person intimidate us?"

"Right, right, let’s snatch his Ancient Divine Artifact!"

They made some noise for a while before starting to explore other directions in the darkness.

But the more they explored, the stranger it felt.

This branch of the Dongfang Clan wasn’t too large or small, but those who lived here for years were familiar with the surroundings.

Yet, after advancing several meters, they encountered no buildings and heard fewer voices of people speaking.

This began to terrify the surviving members, who hysterically screamed and shouted.

"Is anyone still alive?"

"Is there anyone else?"

No one responded; it was as if they had lost all perception of the outside world, with heaven and earth returned to the void, voiceless.

Then, those still shouting started to slowly disappear, merging into the surrounding void.

Eventually, even the sounds and traces of their existence seemed to vanish.

The surrounding darkness gradually dissolved away, revealing the scene inside.

All members of the Dongfang Clan lay prone on the ground, their expressions marked by horror and fear, as if facing a tremendous fright in life.

Still in mid-air, Xia Feng furrowed his brow, muttering softly, "One strike to bury the heavens..."

Xia Tianming raised an eyebrow in confusion: "The name of the technique?"

Xia Feng snapped back to reality, shaking his head: "It’s not really a name for this technique, just an instinctive method of use, but I feel it’s trying to convey more."

Looking at the lifeless Martial Gods, Xia Tianming couldn’t help but touch his ear.

Wasn’t this already a complete offensive method?

It seemed this Ancient Divine Artifact that the grandson obtained was quite formidable indeed.

Hovering in mid-air, Xia Feng attempted to comprehend more Heaven and Earth Rules from the recent attack, while Xia Tianming was already on the ground examining the people.

After checking several of them, he found all life signs erased.

He expressed his surprise: "Was this an Illusion Technique?"

Xia Feng shook his head; it wasn’t Illusion Technique, but this existence left him unsure how to explain it.

Xia Tianming didn’t pry further; he inspected the people fearing one or two might have slipped through the net.

From a distance, a person stumbled over, and Xia Feng looked sharply in that direction.

But upon seeing who it was, he was a bit taken aback.

"Dongfang Zhuangzhuang?"

Dongfang Zhuangzhuang appeared battered, as if having been roughed up, and seeing Xia Feng made him shrink back apprehensively.

"Master, have you, have you arrived already?" 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Xia Feng’s brow twitched slightly. He had taken the Travel Permit from Dongfang Zhuangzhuang, sending him to fly back to the Dongfang Clan with a message.

Half a month had passed, and he had just arrived?

He scrutinized the bedraggled Dongfang Zhuangzhuang from top to bottom: "Why did it take you so long? Encounter any danger?"

Dongfang Zhuangzhuang, oblivious to the strange situation in the Dongfang Clan, scratched his head and replied sheepishly.

"I got lost and ended up in the Purple Crystal Divine Vein."

"It took a while to find the way here again; what did you discuss with our Clan Leader..."

While speaking, he noticed the corpses all around, familiar faces from the Dongfang Clan.

His body trembled, and he knelt at Xia Feng’s feet: "Master, please don’t kill me..."

Xia Feng chuckled, raising an eyebrow at this fool, thinking he might as well spare him.

He kicked Dongfang Zhuangzhuang: "Get up, take me to the Fourth Branch’s treasure vault. If the items inside are decent, I’ll spare your life."

Dongfang Zhuangzhuang nodded rapidly, bowing and leading Xia Feng to the secret treasure room.

Behind them, Xia Tianming glanced at them perplexedly: "What’s this?"

Xia Feng briefly explained Dongfang Zhuangzhuang’s situation, and Xia Tianming understood. It was like Charon among the servants; sometimes soft-hearted and driven by circumstances.

In the Dongfang Clan, there might be good people.

It’s just unfortunate they belonged to such a worthless clan.

Once inside the treasure vault, Xia Feng squinted his eyes slightly to examine the items.

He first collected things like the Divine Technique, then turned his attention to the treasures beside them.

They piled some ordinary Divine Artifacts; neither Xia Feng nor Xia Tianming was impressed, but they collected them anyway.

After all, many in the Lower Realm were about to break through to Martial God, and they hadn’t secured their Divine Artifacts yet.

After a round of searching, they found nothing like good Divine Marrow, but discovered a heap of purple Divine Crystals.

He grasped the Divine Crystals, assessing the purity within, nearly reaching the purity of Upper Grade Divine Crystal, with some darker hues almost close to Top Grade Divine Crystal.

Xia Feng turned to Dongfang Zhuangzhuang: "Where is this Purple Crystal Divine Vein you mentioned?"
