Pursued by the Top Grade Saintess after Engagement Annulled-Chapter 352 - 348: Arrival at the Infinite Divine Valley

Chapter 352: Chapter 348: Arrival at the Infinite Divine Valley

Xia Feng’s expression was somewhat speechless; was he the kind of hot-headed youth driven by his own emotions?

Xia Tianming felt a little more at ease but still shrugged with a bit of mischievous humor, "Who can say? Anyway, don’t let emotions rule you."

What answered him was the Great Dao of Li Huo surging from Xia Feng’s palm, engulfing the bodies of those people on the ground in blazing red flames.

Soon after, everything was burned to ashes, leaving nothing behind.

He took a close look at the golden token, then pulled out the purple token that was almost thrown away by her.

When the two tokens were placed together, a map composed of light and shadows suddenly unfolded on the golden token.

His gaze swept over it briefly; it was the terrain under the entire control of the Dongfang Clan.

To be honest, the area was indeed vast, and the place they were in now could even be considered the periphery of the Dongfang Clan.

On the other hand, the location of the Infinite Divine Valley was in another direction; perhaps they should pack up and leave here.

Otherwise, though half a month was plenty of time, who knew if something unexpected would happen on the way?

Just as the two were tidying up to leave, Dongfang Haokong on the other side also sensed the dissolution of the restriction.

While he was originally preparing to adjust participants for the Secret Realm, a subtle light quickly flashed through his eyes.

This was not good news.

He believed that in the entire Infinite Divine Domain, no one could lift this restriction without him knowing.

So now there was only one possibility for the restriction to have dissolved.

Dongfang Zhong was dead, and he died after touching the restriction. Damn it...

He leaked the secret of the Infinite Secret Realm.

Dongfang Haokong’s eyes narrowed slightly, and because he was deep in thought, he accidentally crushed the teacup in his hand.

The attendant beside him looked over, somewhat puzzled as to why the lord suddenly became angry while still selecting participants.

"Clan Leader, do you need me to prepare another cup of tea for you?"

The sudden voice snapped Dongfang Haokong back to his senses. He glanced down at the broken teacup and the water stains on him, and his expression turned slightly impatient.

"No need, I’ll take care of it myself later."

"Go get Dongfang Baiyu and the Centurion who will be maintaining Infinite Divine Valley for me."

The attendant dutifully acknowledged and then turned around to find them.

Dongfang Haokong turned and went inside to change clothes, his mind racing as he did so.

There were a total of only one hundred and twenty keys to the Infinite Secret Realm in the Infinite Divine Domain. The Four Great Clans divided eighty of them amongst themselves, leaving forty in the hands of various loose cultivators.

The one in Dongfang Changming’s hand was originally meant for a loose cultivator, but he reported it to Dongfang Haokong immediately after acquiring it by chance.

As a reward for his loyalty and to avoid certain people’s eyes, Dongfang Haokong allowed Dongfang Changming to keep that key.

He was just waiting for the Infinite Secret Realm to open so he could bring the key to meet up with the others.

Dongfang Haokong even rewarded Dongfang Changming with the opportunity to enter the Infinite Secret Realm, but he didn’t expect the fool to squander such a great opportunity for some petty gain.

Now that the chance had fallen into someone else’s hands, Dongfang Haokong was even more frustrated.

If he hadn’t gotten the key in the first place, he might not have been so upset, as he had no intention of robbing it from loose cultivators’ hands.

But now, he was truly enraged and planned to hunt down these two little pests and kill them.

The sound of the door opening came from outside. Dongfang Changming straightened his freshly changed clothes and walked out from the inner room with a cold expression.

Centurion Dongfang Zhang knelt on the ground, saluting him, while Dongfang Baiyu, standing nearby, asked with some confusion, "Grandfather, why did you call us here?"

Dongfang Haokong glanced at Dongfang Baiyu, the Dongfang family’s new generation of talent who had reached Earth Tier Ninth Layer Martial God by the age of five hundred, still appeared somewhat tender now.

"You both know the matter of the upcoming opening of the Infinite Secret Realm."

"Baiyu, Dongfang Zhang, those two little thieves who destroyed the Fourth Branch not long ago will probably enter to cause trouble."

His eyes narrowed slightly, "I hope before the Secret Realm opens, you two can find them among the crowd and eliminate them."

The two felt a shiver in their hearts, understanding what the Infinite Secret Realm represented for the entire Infinite Divine Domain.

No one refused, and after receiving the orders, they both left.

On the other hand, Xia Feng naturally wouldn’t let others manipulate him so easily. He found a quiet place to carry out part of the disguise with Xia Tianming.

Though the disguise mask seemed somewhat easy to see through, this was the Infinite Secret Realm after all.

Many loose cultivators feared being recognized by members of the Four Great Clans, who might cause trouble after exiting the Secret Realm.

So, many loose cultivators would cover their faces in some way, trying to make others overlook their appearance.

Initially, Xia Tianming was worried that their outfit might seem out of place.

However, after they arrived at the Infinite Divine Valley, that concern completely vanished.

The place was full of people wearing human-skin masks, making Xia Tianming feel that if they walked in bare-faced, they truly would be out of place.

A considerable crowd had already gathered there, and several loose cultivators, noticing there were only two of them, couldn’t resist coming over to chat.

"Hey, young man, uncle, it’s just the two of you?"

This person’s eyes shone brightly, clearly not the honest type, causing Xia Feng to frown slightly and refrain from responding.

The man toned down his expression, speaking with a bit of a fawning smile.

"Hey, don’t be in such a hurry to leave. Let’s chat a bit more. Aren’t you short of one person?"

"How about we negotiate? We could buy a spot?"

Xia Feng’s frown deepened, and after a moment, he said, "Sorry, our team is already full, though around here..."

The man across shrugged, "More people than you imagined, right?"

"This isn’t anything unusual. Many who get the Infinite Secret Realm key don’t dare inquire about these matters.

"So it’s understandable to have some misjudgment about the current situation."

He chuckled, his fingers rubbing together momentarily in a typical money gesture.

"Well, if you’re not willing to sell a spot from your team, you’ll have to pay some other price to get some information."

He slightly curled his lips, easily seeing through Xia Feng’s fib about the team being full as just a pretense.

Nonetheless, he didn’t press the matter further and switched the topic instead.
