they were after Li Qingxue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Qingyu didn’t know that her cultivation had already made a leap forward, still thinking that Li Qingxue was just a Profound Tier First Layer Martial God.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These Celestial Tier Martial Gods were indeed capable of bypassing Xia Feng’s defense to directly take down Li Qingxue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And as long as Li Qingxue died, even if Xia Feng was favored by the Divine King, he would surely face backlash, possibly even losing his life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately for them, their information was outdated; no one knew that Li Qingxue was already a Celestial Tier Ninth Layer Martial God.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She gripped her long sword tightly, a hint of eager anticipation on her face: \"I haven’t had a real fight since advancing to this realm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s just right that they’ve come to me, so I can practice my swordsmanship.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Feng still looked a bit worried, but Xia Tianming, standing nearby, spoke up: \"I’ll go with my granddaughter, you can provide support from the back.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Feng wanted to say more, but didn’t expect the people across from them to react oddly upon hearing Xia Tianming call Li Qingxue his granddaughter-in-law.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ha, your family of toads actually desires the swan’s meat, daring to call the Divine Maiden your granddaughter-in-law?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Exactly, look at yourselves, how can you be so audacious?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who gave you the courage?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just a moment ago, these people were intent on killing Li Qingxue, and now they seemed to have changed their minds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brothers, let’s kill these two first, and then we’ll have some fun with this Divine Maiden.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Whoever gets lucky might become the Divine Maiden’s consort afterward, and no longer need to do these dirty jobs.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Qingxue was so enraged that her hand shook holding her sword, her face full of fury, ready to rush forward and kill them all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Xia Feng grabbed her wrist, his voice cold enough to chill: \"No need to trouble yourself, I’ll handle it myself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I wanted to let you practice, but these people... they are not worthy of soiling your hands.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His expression was icy, and with the Heaven-Burying Sword, countless thrusts were unleashed in the blink of an eye, making it impossible to tell how many strikes he had made.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Feng held the Heaven-Burying Sword, his expression still cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The people opposite were silent for a while, finally, someone couldn’t help but sneer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ha ha, you talk so big, I thought you were so impressive.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Right, we heard you beat many loose cultivators in the arena, we thought you were strong, but it turns out you’re just a fancy facade.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, it’s not his fault, we are noble family disciples raised beside the Goddess Qingyu, how can we be compared to those loose cultivators?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kid, since you’ve finished, it’s my turn to...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he could finish, he felt an inexplicable pain in his neck, and looked down strangely at his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, as he lowered his head, it detached entirely, rolling several rounds on the ground before stopping, his expression still carrying a hint of confusion, as if he didn’t understand how he died like that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The surroundings fell silent, followed by someone letting out a piercing scream.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The person who made the crude remark moments ago was suddenly riddled with countless wounds, even his tongue was shredded by sword qi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The seven most arrogant individuals received the worst wounds and died immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those who stood farther back or didn’t open their mouths to mock remained lightly injured but dared not linger around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the people surrounding the entrance fled in panic, Xia Feng didn’t move, instead, he regarded the corpses, a pensive expression crossing his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Qingxue stepped forward, intending to chase them, but Xia Feng shook his head, casting a subtle glance at the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He spoke softly: \"Just got here, kill less for now; if they provoke us later, then we continue.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"For now, help me gather the tokens off these people.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Qingxue was a bit puzzled: \"These tokens become invalid after this round, needing to be remade by mother, so even if we sell them, they’re not worth much.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Feng smiled but didn’t explain: \"Help me gather them first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Qingxue didn’t question further, moving to the bodies to collect the tokens.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She knew Xia Feng’s nature was always to eliminate any roots, so sparing the lives of simply a few harsh-tongued individuals was giving face to Li Qingxue’s mother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, the Celestial Sword Divine King observing from afar didn’t see it that way; she felt Xia Feng was overly aggressive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, her brows relaxed, as she recollected Xia Feng’s earlier sword strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This young man’s mastery over the Sword Dao was truly strong; even at Xia Feng’s age, the Celestial Sword Divine King hadn’t reached this level of cultivation and understanding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She let out a soft sigh, her fingers unconsciously caressing her sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Has she really grown old, really made mistakes?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Feng remained unaware of the happenings outside, but even if he knew, he’d probably just scoff.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Too late a realization holds less value than grass, trying to nurture the child after they’ve lost faith.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Considering Li Qingxue’s temperament, even the Celestial Sword Divine King’s regret would need significant effort to warm her heart again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were a total of seven tokens; after Xia Feng gathered them, he saw the bodies destroyed by sword qi from the void.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He gasped; even though they were just corpses, they were Celestial Tier Martial God corpses, yet they were easily disposed of, proving the Holy Sword Divine Domain remained perilous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three of them, along with the Sword Spirit, scanned their surroundings, and Xia Feng looked towards a place with Spiritual Power fluctuations, suggesting: \"Let’s head in this direction to see.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Qingxue looked puzzled: \"There’s someone there; are we still going after them?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Conflict might arise, you know.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Moreover, why are you collecting these tokens?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Feng didn’t answer; in his mind, a crazy idea formed: if these tokens could be used in this Secret Realm, could he find a way to bring all the ladies inside?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though the idea seemed impossible, he wanted to try for the sake of his wild thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The most crucial thing now was the attention from above.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Feng turned thoughtfully toward Li Qingxue: \"In past Holy Sword Secret Realm trials, did the Celestial Sword Divine King watch the entirety?\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1090,"2026-06-05T22:57:42.809Z",1,"novelbin.me","ce495d54ff14cb08ca8cb7bf64d256d2a356bfbbc9feeffec4c68cda997d50f9","pursued-by-the-top-grade-saintess-after-engageme-chapter-283","pursued-by-the-top-grade-saintess-after-engageme-chapter-282",634,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fpursued-by-the-top-grade-saintess-after-engageme-cover.jpg"]
