Pursued by the Top Grade Saintess after Engagement Annulled-Chapter 368 - 364: Dongfang Baiyu’s Eloquent Tongue

Chapter 368: Chapter 364: Dongfang Baiyu’s Eloquent Tongue

After all, if they really can help the Four Great Clans capture these two, they could also be considered as having achieved great success.

Even if they couldn’t do anything, if the Four Great Clans really captured the Ancient Divine Artifact and the Secret Treasure, they probably wouldn’t be interested in collecting these Divine Crystals from the surroundings.

For the Loose Cultivators, even the Lower Grade Divine Crystals are extremely precious.

These scraps that the Four Great Clans don’t even look at are enough to drive them into a frenzy.

Xia Feng’s expression was somewhat grave. If it were just dealing with the people of the Four Great Clans, he still had some confidence.

If these people swarmed over, even he would have moments when his Divine Power was insufficient.

Moreover, these Loose Cultivators were just trying to survive. Unless absolutely necessary, he hadn’t intended to slaughter them and fill the Secret Realm with corpses.

He glanced somewhat reproachfully at the Heaven-Burying Sword, seemingly helpless at the sudden speech of the Sword Spirit.

But no matter how helpless, things had already been set in stone.

Opposite him, Dongfang Baiyu seemed to have slightly recovered. Although his face was pale, he could barely manage to hold the situation together.

And with the Dongfang Clan taking the lead, the other three clans naturally were happy to shirk their responsibilities.

"Fellow Loose Cultivators, this little thief had a grudge with my Dongfang Clan before, stealing from our clan’s treasury and robbing our clan’s treasure key."

"Today, he even destroyed my Divine Artifact in the Secret Realm and seized my Secret Treasure."

"If I don’t avenge this, I’m unworthy of being a Core Disciple of the Dongfang Clan!"

He glanced around at the crowd: "If anyone can capture this individual today, I will certainly speak favorably to the Clan Leader, allowing that person to join the Dongfang Clan without needing to meet requirements, and they can even choose an item from the treasury."

"As for the others, my Dongfang Clan will not treat you unfairly; at the very least, Divine Crystal rewards will not be lacking."

The Loose Cultivators below, who were already somewhat tempted, looked even more fervent.

Even those from the small clans gathered around, looking at Xia Feng’s position with not entirely good intentions.

The opportunity to choose any item from the Dongfang Clan’s treasury is a very tempting condition for these small clans.

Xia Feng’s expression carried a hint of wariness, but he was not overly afraid.

He held the Heaven-Burying Sword, and spoke sternly: "At this point, you still care about your reputation?"

"Back then, you captured my clan’s elders for the Ancient Divine Artifact, and now you want to take my Secret Treasure."

"The Secret Treasures have always been first-come, first-serve, or chosen by the strong. In any case, I’m ahead, and the Sword Spirit willingly follows me, yet you dare twist words so blatantly."

"I’ve clearly seen the Dongfang Clan’s true nature today."

The surrounding Loose Cultivators’ expressions didn’t change much, and Xia Feng’s eyes glinted as he continued to speak.

"Moreover, you say I stole your clan’s treasure key, but let me ask you, according to the allocation, the Dongfang Clan should have twenty keys, yet before entering the treasury, not a single one of your sixty people was missing."

"These keys originally belonged to the Loose Cultivators; what right do you have to claim them as your own?"

Dongfang Baiyu’s face changed slightly. Even though the Four Great Clans privately inserted their own people into the Loose Cultivator teams, or bought places in the Loose Cultivator teams.

But such blatant attempts to seize more keys are not allowed.

Whether you coerce or entice, or buy and sell under duress, you must always leave a way for the Loose Cultivators to survive.

If what Xia Feng said is true, and the keys in his hand were indeed obtained from the Dongfang Clan.

Then was the Dongfang Clan attempting to seize more slots in the Secret Realm?

If this continues, and if all Four Great Clans do this, the survival space for Loose Cultivators and small clans will only be further squeezed.

Seeing the Loose Cultivators below change their expressions, and even the people from the other three clans were visibly more suspicious.

Dongfang Baiyu’s expression grew anxious, unconsciously blushing slightly: "You speak nonsense!"

"Everyone, don’t listen to his deceitful words! Those keys..."

He was stuck himself, unable to explain the provenance of those keys.

After a long time, he stammered: "In any case, those keys are ours, of the Dongfang Clan."

Xia Feng sneered: "You say this, yet you can’t explain it even to yourself, but still hope to deceive everyone?"

Dongfang Baiyu was clearly somewhat angry and humiliated. His brows furrowed tightly, and he said harshly: "What are you all waiting for, don’t you want the Divine Crystals and Treasures?"

At his words, the expressions of the people below changed slightly. Even if they truly coveted the Dongfang Clan’s treasures, being exposed like this was somewhat embarrassing.

Nonetheless, these people eventually stood opposite Xia Feng, ready to block him first.

His dark eyes scanned the crowd with a hint of disdain, then he turned to Xia Tianming and softly said, "Grandfather, it seems I’ll have to trouble you again."

Xia Tianming let out a hearty laugh: "What trouble? It’s just the right time to show my old age strength!"

After speaking, he summoned the Void Cauldron, skillfully patting the cauldron’s body, enveloping everyone in a dense Great Dao of Space.

This time, after Xia Feng returned the Void Cauldron to Xia Tianming, he had used the Void Cauldron many more times than before, so his understanding of the Great Dao of Space was much deeper.

And these people were already weakened once in the Infinite Secret Realm, and now further suppressed by Xia Tianming’s Void Cauldron, they were stripped more severely.

They even vaguely felt that the suppression was even stronger than at the entrance of the Infinite Secret Realm.

But how could it be possible?

Xia Tianming and the others had only been inside for ten days, could they have broken through again?

Or perhaps, they actually have another Secret Treasure of the Great Dao of Space that Xia Tianming refined?

But they had investigated that all Secret Treasures released before had been divided by the Four Great Clans, with none leaked.

Moreover, the release of Secret Treasures always made a commotion. If Xia Tianming had previously obtained a Secret Treasure, they would have followed the trail to investigate.

The positions of these two might have been discovered long ago.

But if it’s not a Secret Treasure, then is the first possibility true?

In just ten days, they broke through again...

The people of the Four Great Clans looked at each other, seemingly even more unwilling to accept this possibility.

Some of the more astute were already calculating, even if they captured Xia Feng and Xia Tianming, could they get the Ancient Divine Artifact from the Dongfang Clan?

If not, is it worth offending these two prodigies for the unfounded friendship of the Dongfang Clan?

If they can’t thoroughly eliminate them, being resented by such two capable individuals could be very troublesome, even if they can’t destroy the Four Great Clans, they could continually cause them trouble.

Seeing the flickering eyes of the remaining three clans, Xia Feng had a thoughtful expression.
