I can be your little secret manual.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Plus, I don’t have a brand, won’t kill you for points, or steal your final inheritance.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"See? I’m such a great teammate candidate. If I met someone like me, I’d snatch them up right away.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He cleared his throat and whispered to Xia Feng with a hint of weakness, \"So, turn a blind eye?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Feng’s brows furrowed tight enough to kill a fly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though he didn’t consider himself overly curious, it was hard to ignore the mystery bouncing before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t deny Tang Yunqi had a point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having such a worry-free teammate was indeed good, though knowing too little meant a lack of trust and security.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a long pause, Xia Feng grudgingly summoned the Spirit Light Flying Boat, pretending not to notice Tang Yunqi’s relieved gesture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Get on. Let’s try to kill more Blood Beasts.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Yunqi grinned a bit happily and eagerly hopped onto the Spirit Light Flying Boat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Xia Tianming watched him warily for a moment before following in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Didn’t you say we can’t use the Great Dao of Space?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now that he’s using the Spirit Light Flying Boat, it won’t be a problem, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Tianming almost blurted out \"Xiao Feng,\" but recalling Tang Yunqi’s oddness, he changed his wording last minute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Yunqi pretended not to notice, answering earnestly, \"It’s only affected during spatial resets; otherwise, it’s fine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"At most, using the Great Dao of Space here is a bit more strenuous.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze turned to Xia Tianming, \"With your grasp of the Great Dao of Space, it shouldn’t affect you much.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Tianming opened his mouth but found nothing to refute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Xia Feng piloted the Spirit Light Flying Boat to the first Blood Beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not sure how the Wuji Divine Monarch arranged it, they were heading from the edge to the center.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first Blood Beast wasn’t very strong, about the cultivation of an Earth Tier Fifth Layer Martial God.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It looked somewhat terrifying, its body pitch black, with blood seeping from unknown places, creating a stench of blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Tianming stepped forward with concern, \"Though it doesn’t look strong, let me attack first to test the waters.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If I can’t hold on, you back me up from behind.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If it’s not particularly strong, you can take the next one.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Make sure your points remain in the top ranks.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Feng seemed indifferent, \"Grandfather, you’re making a fuss over nothing. If points fall short, there are so many Four Clans Disciples.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Tianming’s brow didn’t relax, merely gesturing for Xia Feng to open the Flying Boat’s door, and dashing out to clash with the Blood Beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Blood Beast splattered blood-red liquid, corroding the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luckily, Xia Tianming noticed something amiss and quickly set the Void Cauldron in front of him, blocking the eerie red liquid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Feng’s expression turned solemn as he began to take the peculiar Blood Beast seriously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its attacks seemed to contain pollution, corrosion, and spatial abilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed quite troublesome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Feng emerged from the Spirit Light Flying Boat, drew the Heaven-Burying Sword, ready to assist Xia Tianming, but Xia Tianming shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No need, let me see if I’ve improved during this time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, the Blood Beast launched another wave of attacks, Xia Tianming immediately set up the Void Cauldron before him, adeptly balancing offense and defense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Feng’s eyes narrowed slightly, unable to suppress a feeling of admiration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His grandfather’s talent in the Great Dao of Space was indeed formidable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, due to weak control over the Great Dao of Space, Xia Feng had been force-fed a Great Dao Divine Technique by the Spirit Light Flying Boat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He and Xia Tianming had used this Divine Technique to attack the Four Clans Disciples once, and he vaguely saw traces of it in Xia Tianming’s attacks on the Blood Beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having contacted it once, he could integrate this Divine Technique into his attacks. Xia Feng truly admired his grandfather’s talent in the Great Dao of Space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the time Xia Feng got lost in thought, Xia Tianming had already crushed the Blood Beast with the Void Cauldron.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the Blood Beast shot a crimson light tinged with blackness, embedding into the Plum Blossom Brand on Xia Tianming’s hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Feng curiously glanced at his own Plum Blossom Brand, noting that the number following Xia Tianming’s number 18 increased by 5 points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he wasn’t the fastest; others had killed before him and topped the leaderboard. Presently, he ranked 34th with 5 points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Tianming also looked at the point chart on his hand, pondering, \"Points are certainly useful; according to the Wuji Divine Monarch’s Illusion, the higher the points upon reaching the Divine Hall of Inheritance, the better the rewards.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"However, in a team, we can’t share points.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This way, many might opt for separate actions.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We might catch some solo adventurers...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Feng slightly shook his head, \"The first stage probably doesn’t encourage mutual killing, but focuses on Blood Beasts.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did you notice, Grandpa, that after killing the Blood Beast, most energy sinks underground, only a small part enters the Plum Blossom Brand as points?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So I suspect these Blood Beasts are recycled.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Killing Blood Beasts alone should suffice for us to earn points.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As for Loose Cultivators and Four Great Clans cultivators, near the central Divine Hall of Inheritance, we’ll have chances to handle them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside them, Tang Yunqi listened quietly as the grandfather-grandson duo planned the coming steps, closing his mouth without adding anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, he had no brand, wouldn’t accumulate points, nor needed to kill Blood Beasts. Just being part of their team for the fun was enough.\u003C\u002Fp>",996,"2026-06-05T22:57:42.810Z",1,"novelbin.me","4b2bb38a9073f44f4f246672052d72f985d45844ba454bacf1d0ffd218508d0b","pursued-by-the-top-grade-saintess-after-engageme-chapter-395","pursued-by-the-top-grade-saintess-after-engageme-chapter-393",634,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fpursued-by-the-top-grade-saintess-after-engageme-cover.jpg"]
