Pursued by the Top Grade Saintess after Engagement Annulled
Chapter 603 - 599: Leaving the Demon Realm, Heading to Death Canyon
Since he figured it out, Xia Feng no longer fretted over the grievance and had no plans to delve deeper into the abyss.
Although the surrounding Demonic Qi wouldn’t cause Xia Feng much trouble, if Xia Feng wanted to use his Divine Power here, he could only resort to converting it using Star Power.
The deeper he walked into the Demon Abyss, the more pronounced that uncomfortable feeling became.
Holding the Heaven-Burying Sword in his hand, Xia Feng continuously harvested Demon Hearts as he pondered how to resolve this situation.
Since grievance complements the Demons, his previous assumptions now seemed somewhat simplistic.
And the true situation and origin of God Burial Valley deserved more careful scrutiny.
Xia Feng sighed lightly, feeling a sense of reflection. To turn Great Xia into the Great Xia Divine Domain, there was a lot of work ahead.
The Demons around him initially rushed in swarms, then became cautious and wary, and eventually fled in panic, all within a few days.
Xia Feng no longer remembered how many Demons he had slain; everywhere seemed like scores to be harvested, waiting for the taking.
After killing for a dozen days, Demons became scarce in Xia Feng’s sight; they sensed the intense Evil Qi surrounding him from afar.
Due to slaying too many Demons, the Evil Qi enveloped Xia Feng such that Demons would flee upon detection.
Not bothered to hunt them down one by one, Xia Feng hesitated briefly and then abandoned further killing plans, leaving the Demon Realm directly from the vortex.
As he traversed, even the most frantic Demons dared not compete for space with him, fleeing the vortex direction frantically, making the dense black Demonic Qi seem cleared.
The Tianjiao warriors squatting outside the vortex watched it cease emitting Demonic Qi, their expressions tense.
The foremost Divine Guard straightened, gazing seriously at the vortex, loudly reminding: "The vortex’s spin speed hasn’t changed, but no Demons are emerging. There could be High Level Demon Race accumulating power to come out."
"Everyone, stay alert. Act first when it emerges, trap it before attacking together."
"As for the distribution of this Demon Heart, we’ll decide after solving..."
Before the Divine Guard finished speaking, Xia Feng emerged from the vortex. Except for the sharp-eared Tianjiao who refrained, most tense Tianjiao couldn’t clearly see who came out of the vortex, directly attacking.
Xia Feng paused, instinctively raising his Divine Armor to fend off the attacks.
The Heaven-Burying Sword flashed a sharp light, releasing Sword Qi toward the Tianjiao in front.
Once the Sword Qi was released, Xia Feng realized he had left the Demon Realm, and they probably mistook him for a Demon.
With a flick of his wrist, the Sword Qi halted about one yard from the Tianjiao crowd.
The further Tianjiao were fine, but those closer felt the chilling murderous intent on the Sword Qi, nearly wetting themselves in fear.
Xia Feng shook his wrist, withdrew the Heaven-Burying Sword, then moved toward the girls’ direction.
The Tianjiao guarding the vortex relaxed a bit only after he left, each looking worse than the other.
"Is he stronger now?"
"That sword’s power looked terrifying; if he consciously attacked, who could rival him?"
"Considering his Evil Qi, who knows how many Demons he killed; with him in the assessment, any hope of winning the championship?"
"More than that, I want to know what good stuff he got amidst the vortex."
"Exactly, he’s been inside for so long, attacking sharply now; must’ve obtained something good he doesn’t want us knowing."
These whispers circulated among the Tianjiao, but Xia Feng, though overhearing, paid no mind.
Rather than dwelling on irrelevant matters with unrelated people, Xia Feng preferred to stay with the girls and strategize their next moves.
The Demon Abyss behind the vortex was nearly cleared by Xia Feng, and only low-level Little Demons would emerge.
Having the girls handle those Little Demons seemed like overkill.
Xia Feng pondered briefly, then uncertainly suggested: "Why don’t we go check out the Death Canyon?"
The girls perked up instantly: "Sure, after witnessing Demons, it’s time to see what the Death Gods are like." 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶
With many Tianjiao present, Xia Feng didn’t want to reveal his Dream Transmission ability. He took out the Spirit Light Flying Boat, opting for slower flight over several days.
Once everyone left, the remaining Tianjiao erupted into a frenzy.
"Where are they going? Aren’t Demons still coming out? Don’t they want points?"
"Did that guy provoke something inside the vortex that shouldn’t have been provoked and is now fleeing?"
Once mentioned, Tianjiao around became flustered thinking even Xia Feng had to temporarily avoid danger; how could they resist?
As chaos ensued, someone hesitantly spoke.
"He went toward what seems like Death Canyon. By timing, another group should arrive there soon."
"Could he be going to deal with those Death Gods?"
The surroundings went silent, with no one speaking or making unnecessary moves.
After some time, emotions were settled, and they quietly resumed dealing with scattered Demons emerging from the vortex.
People differ, as do Tianjiao.
Tianjiao have only seen peers like themselves before, never encountering someone like Xia Feng, surpassing them in talent and youth.
Knowing Xia Feng’s mission, jealousy faded amongst them.
They consoled themselves, having initially benefitted from Xia Feng, with varying scores totaling dozens, hundreds, or even thousands.
Compared to Tianjiao yet to arrive at Death Canyon, their scores far exceeded those and could ensure earlier entry into the Celestial Pill Secret Realm.
