Chapter 618 - 614: Genius of the Zhao Race from the Li Huo Divine Domain
On the other side, Xia Feng silently retracted his Divine Sense, his brows slightly knitted, seemingly uncertain about Zhang Baiyu’s identity.
His Divine Sense was much more powerful than that of the women around him, and more than ten times stronger than those so-called prodigies across from them. Right now, he could secretly release his Divine Sense to check on Zhang Baiyu’s situation, yet Zhang Baiyu was completely unaware of Xia Feng’s actions.
Sun Yazhu noticed his expression and, affected by his concern, asked, "Did something happen?"
Xia Feng suppressed his emotions, smiled, and replied, "It’s nothing major. Those people are gathering together to cause trouble for me."
"They’ve sent a few people over to meet their end hoping to use this as an opportunity to deal with me."
Sun Yazhu’s face turned cold, "Who would agree to such a suicidal task?"
Xia Feng chuckled softly, "They’ve merely been deceived. I’m more interested in the leader, whom they call the Divine Son, but I don’t recall seeing this person in our gathering place, and I’m not certain which Divine Domain he belongs to."
The women were taken aback, some immediately recalling whether there was such a sinister and ruthless person among their brothers.
Xia Feng patted their shoulders, "Alright, let’s not dwell on this. The few people they sent have monitoring devices on them."
"We can use this to mislead those behind them a bit."
The soft-hearted Xiao Qingxue appeared hesitant, "You mentioned that those people were pushed out to meet their end. Maybe causing us trouble wasn’t really their intention."
Xia Feng reached out to ruffle her fair hair, "They simply lost ground in the team rivalry, leading them to be pushed out. It doesn’t mean they don’t harbor malice towards us."
"These people are both bad and foolish. They’ve constantly stirred up trouble outside and now want to scheme against us. It’s best if they’re dealt with."
Xiao Qingxue pursed her lips, her expression gradually firming up, "You’re right. Anyone who tries to harm you deserves to die!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she looked at Xia Feng with heartache, seemingly feeling that someone as outstanding as him shouldn’t be targeted like this.
As they continued their banter, the first wave of people had already spotted Xia Feng and the others from afar.
They exchanged glances and then approached with feigned friendly expressions, led by Zhao Tian, who wore a badge and wore a friendly smile.
"Your Highness the Goddesses, what a coincidence meeting you here."
The women’s expressions were subtly nuanced, merely casting a faint glance at them without any intention of speaking.
As Divine Maidens, they carried an air of aloofness towards anyone other than Xia Feng, and no one would dare criticize them for it.
Zhao Tian noticed no one responded, his smile twisting slightly, but he quickly resumed his previous amiability.
"This must be the prominent Master Xia Feng, with so many Divine Maidens accompanying you, you truly are fortunate."
Xia Feng also put on a smile, "Oh? You certainly know how to talk."
Zhao Tian hesitated, not expecting Xia Feng to admit it so boldly. His smile turned stiffer, and he forcibly shifted the topic, trying to sow discord.
"Are Master Xia Feng and the Divine Maidens all Dao companions? For all the Divine Maidens to share one husband, Master Xia Feng must indeed be quite capable, right?"
Xia Feng raised an eyebrow, seemingly unsure of Zhao Tian’s intention. Ignoring the barb, Zhao Tian brazenly voiced his proposal, "Since Master Xia Feng is so capable, could we not accompany you for a while?"
Afraid of misunderstandings, Zhao Tian hastily added, "We won’t take much of the elixirs we find—just half will do."
This time, not only Xia Feng but even the few people he brought with him found Zhao Tian’s words excessively audacious.
It was well known how formidable Xia Feng and the Divine Maidens were, ranking among the top when entering the Secret Realm.
Now, Zhao Tian dared to shamelessly ask for half of the spoils—there was no way Xia Feng would agree to such a demand.
His face darkened as Zhao Tian across from him spoke with a hint of provocation, "Doesn’t Master Xia Feng need to consult with Her Highness the Goddesses?"
"I hail from the Zhao Family of the Li Huo Divine Domain, and I come from a noble family. Agreeing to share half the spoils with someone like you is already doing you a great favor."
He rolled his eyes, sizing up Xia Feng, "Besides, can a kept man like you make decisions on such matters regarding alliances with other teams?"
Zhao Lingxuan was already infuriated, turning to Xia Feng with trembling anger, "Husband, not everyone in our Divine Domain is like this—I don’t want you to misunderstand..."
Xia Feng gave her a reassuring look, then turned a cold gaze on Zhao Tian, "Is this the decision of your Zhao Family?"
Zhao Tian scoffed, "Of course, I can represent our Zhao Family."
"And you? Can you represent the will of the Divine Maidens?"
"I admit you’re exceptional at living off women, having ten Divine Maidens willing to set aside their biases and temper to follow you, but on such a big issue, a mud-legged person like you can’t make the call."
Xia Feng snorted lightly, as the Heaven-Burying Sword slowly appeared in his right hand. He looked at Zhao Tian with a mix of appraisal and ridicule, "I can make the call."
Zhao Tian flinched, reflexively asking, "What did you say?"
Xia Feng’s lips curled into a faint smile as a burst of Sword Qi shot from the sword’s tip, striking Zhao Tian’s shoulder directly.
He repeated, "I said, I can make the call."
"No matter the matter, I can make the decisions. My wives trust me and won’t be swayed by your gossip."
The Sword Qi shot out so swiftly that before Zhao Tian realized it, it had already pierced his shoulder, blood flowing from the wound.
The badge was knocked to the ground, rolled a few times, and was casually discarded to the side.
Zhao Tian seemed to recall Xia Feng’s notorious reputation outside, and although he remained somewhat defiant, his body instinctively trembled, showing fear of Xia Feng.
His bluster faded into genuine panic as he yelled, "What do you plan to do?"
"I’m a prodigy of the Zhao Race from the Li Huo Divine Domain. How dare you treat me this way? Aren’t you afraid the Zhao Race will retaliate once you leave?"
Xia Feng showed a perfectly measured expression of surprise, "Leave?"
"You don’t think you’ll be getting out, do you?"
The Heaven-Burying Sword thrust forward once more, and Zhao Tian finally realized he needed to retaliate, as a layer of Li Huo encased him. Yet, Xia Feng’s Heaven-Burying Sword seemed unfazed by the protection, once again piercing into Zhao Tian’s body.
Zhao Tian finally succumbed to fear, eyes darting towards the badge on the ground as he screamed frantically, "Hurry up and save me!"
