Chapter 604: Chapter 600: Death Canyon Opens

Xia Feng’s timing was impeccable; as he arrived at Death Canyon, the group of prodigies who chose Death Canyon had just arrived as well.

When the boat-shaped Flying Boat docked near Death Canyon, these prodigies wore expressions of doubt, seemingly unaware of what it was.

As Xia Feng and his companions exited the Spirit Light Flying Boat, these prodigies appeared even more perplexed.

Only one person, a prodigy initially selecting Demon Abyss but expelled from the Spirit Light Flying Boat by Xia Feng for his foul mouth, began trembling slightly, as if recognizing something.

As the prodigies remained puzzled, the trembling prodigy stepped forward.

"Didn’t you choose Demon Abyss? Why are you here at Death Canyon!"

"Weren’t all those people with you on your Flying Boat? Where did they go? Surely you didn’t kill them all?"

This prodigy feared Xia Feng greatly, but he also believed that Xia Feng’s heinous actions would draw the ire of the Divine Kings of the Ten Great Divine Domains.

By exposing Xia Feng’s conspiracy, the Divine Kings might look upon him favorably, even allowing him to be the first to enter the Celestial Pill Secret Realm.

With this thought, his expression turned serious, directing his gaze at the ten Divine Maidens behind Xia Feng.

"Your Highnesses the Goddesses, don’t be deceived by this man. He has harmed so many prodigies; you must not aid and abet his wrongdoings!"

The expressions of all the maidens were somewhat subtle. How could they not know that Xia Feng harmed prodigies?

Currently in the Celestial Pill Divine Domain, countless eyes of the Divine Kings were watching, as if their very will was observing the situation closely.

Xia Feng had been very restrained; even when provoked and targeted by the prodigies, he had not lashed out directly, having only dealt with the Qin Race’s clowns.

Why was he so forbearing? Simply because they hadn’t entered the Secret Realm yet, he worried that if the Divine Kings saw him harm the direct lineage prodigies, it might be difficult for the maidens to manage when they returned to their respective Divine Domains.

Otherwise, with Xia Feng’s temper, he would have wished to settle these prodigies with a single sword. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

Now, out of nowhere, a fool appeared and falsely accused Xia Feng of harming prodigies.

This irritated the maidens who were already heartbroken by Xia Feng’s willingness to stoop to conquer, turning them somewhat displeased.

Sun Yazhu snorted softly, "You have no evidence and accuse my husband of harming prodigies; do you know the cost of such slander?"

The prodigy below was momentarily flustered but quickly regained his composure, "Yazhu Goddess, are you still covering for him?"

"All of you boarded his Flying Boat to Demon Abyss back then, now where are the others?"

"Moreover, instead of hunting demons in Demon Abyss and controlling the spread of Demonic Qi, what are you doing at Death Canyon?"

After these words were spoken, the other prodigies glanced at Xia Feng with a subtle change in their eyes, as if evaluating his intentions.

Beside them, Li Qingxue spoke coldly, "The others have naturally been sent to Demon Abyss, and the situation there is under control. Those prodigies are now hunting the remaining scattered demons, ensuring the Demonic Qi doesn’t spread."

The prodigy was briefly stunned, then screamed in panic, "Impossible! In just half a month, at your speed, Demon Abyss just barely opened. You, you..."

Sun Yazhu sneered lightly, "Just because you haven’t seen something doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. Prodigies who are narrow-minded and ignorant should refrain from acting foolishly here."

After her words, she turned to the Divine Guard defending Death Canyon’s barrier, speaking softly, "Everyone is here. You may open the defensive array now."

The Divine Guards glanced at the prodigies behind them, then at Xia Feng and his group standing nearby, worrying as they advised, "Yazhu Goddess, perhaps you should lead your people further back."

"Once the defensive array opens, the surrounding Death Qi will spread in an instant. It would not do well to alarm you."

Sun Yazhu displayed a confident smile, "Don’t worry; we can handle it. Just go ahead and open the defensive array."

The Divine Guard advised once more, but seeing Sun Yazhu unwavering, they could only helplessly proceed to remove the barrier before them.

The prodigies behind became increasingly tense, gripping their weapons tightly, ready to rush forward for points when the Death Gods would charge at them.

Only the prodigy who first questioned Xia Feng appeared dazed, muttering as if still in shock.

"How’s this possible? In such a short time, could they really have solved the issue at Demon Abyss?"

His gaze carried a poisonous grudge, frequently darting towards Xia Feng, like a viper hidden in the shadows, poised to strike.

Li Qingxue frowned slightly, a touch of displeasure in her eyes as she glanced backward, then quietly asked Xia Feng, "Should we just leave this clown be? Perhaps we should just deal with him directly?"

Xia Feng shook his head gently, "Be patient. You have Divine Kings behind you from various Divine Domains. Our close relationship doesn’t mean the same goes for the Divine Kings."

"If we rashly act, it could spark a war between the Divine Domains."

"Better to be patient; once in the Secret Realm, away from the Divine Kings’ eyes, there will be plenty of chances to deal with these clowns."

Li Qingxue took a deep breath, suppressing her internal killing intent, and directed her gaze toward Death Canyon.

The transparent defensive barrier gradually thinned, revealing skeleton-like Death Gods within Death Canyon, their eye sockets flickering with ghostly flames, eager to rush over for battle.

As the barrier completely vanished, Xia Feng glanced at the maidens with some concern before swiftly heading toward Death Canyon.

He trusted the maidens to understand his intentions—unspoken but understood.

The prodigies behind hadn’t realized what was happening when the maidens had already formed the Ten Extremes Array, placing Xiao Qingxue at the forefront.

The Great Dao of Life naturally countered Death Gods, making Xiao Qingxue possibly more potent than even True God Realm Li Qingxue at this moment.

And as everyone busied themselves against the incoming Death Gods, Xia Feng quietly slipped into the vortex, entering the Netherworld in search of the grudge yet to emerge.

The prodigies watching Xia Feng’s actions reacted with expressions of surprise or shock.

The prodigy fixated on Xia Feng, a hint of wild joy appearing on his face, "The path to heaven is open, yet you choose to walk into hell’s gate yourself!"
