Pursued by the Top Grade Saintess after Engagement Annulled

Chapter 619 - 615: Mysterious Deaths, Great Dao of Time

Xia Feng, who initially wanted to deal with the person directly, suddenly sneered upon seeing his posture and stopped his actions.

Zhao Tian was panicking inside, but on the surface, he was still bluffing with bravado: "If you know what’s good for you, let me go now, or when our people arrive, you’ll be in for it."

Xia Feng’s expression became even more amused as he stood by with his arms crossed: "Oh, then I’d like to see if your people will come over."

Zhao Tian’s expression became more panicked, clearly speculating in his heart, but he continued shouting with false bravado: "We have over three hundred people; when they arrive, none of you will escape."

The women behind him also began to chuckle softly. As Divine Maidens of the Ten Great Divine Domains, even if they were not particularly favored by the Divine King, no one dared to trouble them in the Secret Realm.

Xia Feng smiled nonchalantly: "Speaking of which, I’m quite curious. You guys, a motley crew, wouldn’t have the guts to do something like this."

He moved a little closer to Zhao Tian, his eyes carrying a subtle scrutiny: "Who’s your leader?"

Zhao Tian was momentarily stunned, wanting to use Zhang Baiyu’s name to force Xia Feng to release him, but he feared that revealing Zhang Baiyu’s name would disrupt the original plan, and even if he escaped, he would end up with a bad outcome due to Zhang Baiyu’s resentment.

Seeing his expression, Xia Feng could infer what he was thinking, chuckled lightly, and said: "You can’t possibly still hope they’ll come to rescue you, can you?"

He walked over to the medallion and stomped on it, shattering it.

When the medallion was knocked off, the connection spell on it was already broken, and the people on the other side couldn’t see what was happening here at all.

If they wanted to come over, they would have done so already.

Xia Feng had just released his Divine Sense to secretly probe around. Not only were those people not approaching Xia Feng, but they also moved to a farther cave, clearly abandoning Zhao Tian and his people.

Seeing the medallion shattered and no one coming out to rescue him, Zhao Tian’s face turned ashen.

Xia Feng looked at him, amused: "Are you willing to talk now?"

Zhao Tian pursed his lips, still trying to hold on: "If I tell you the details of that person, can you spare my life?"

Xia Feng raised an eyebrow: "Your life is of no use to me. If you tell me who it is, I can spare you."

Zhao Tian’s face, like a flashback to life, revealed a glimmer of light, and he was about to speak about the Infinite Divine Son.

But before he could get the words out, his face suddenly twisted in agony, and he aged rapidly as if his life was being burned away.

In the blink of an eye, Zhao Tian was reduced to a skeletal frame with some wrinkled skin, his breath instantly ceasing.

This bizarre situation seemed contagious, as the people behind Zhao Tian also collapsed to the ground one after another, their breath extinguished in moments.

Xia Feng furrowed his brows tightly. He could also drain life force, but not with such viciousness.

He turned to Xiao Qingxue, wanting her to check if these were means from the Life Divine Domain, but Xiao Qingxue had become timid after being constrained by the Divine King upon returning to the Divine Domain. Seeing the scene, her face turned pale.

Seeing Xia Feng looking at her, she forced herself to explain quickly in a low voice, suppressing her discomfort: "This is not a method of the Life Divine Domain."

"These people’s life force was not drained instantly but rather faded gradually, as if time on their bodies suddenly sped up."

Xia Feng’s heart skipped a beat, realizing something. This was not the Great Dao of Life; it was the Great Dao of Time.

He had encountered this Dao in the Infinite Secret Realm and had studied many techniques along the River of Time, yet he failed to recognize even such a basic manifestation.

Xia Feng silently berated himself, crouched down to carefully examine the situation of these people, and, after a long investigation, had a vague suspicion.

Since the war across the Three Realms, many inheritances had been severed, and no one had studied the Great Dao of Time for many years.

At least within the Ten Great Divine Domains, no Divine King focused on this area, except for a few who studied it post-Divine King to seek eternal life and try to sever karmic ties in the River of Time.

However, being able to enter the Celestial Pill Secret Realm, it was certainly not a Divine King.

The only remaining possibility—people from the Infinite Divine Domain.

And perhaps even descendants of the Wuji Divine Monarch, inheriting some insights into the cultivation of the Great Dao of Time.

Xia Feng didn’t share this with the women, but a shadow lingered in his heart.

In his pursuit of mastering the Great Dao of Space-Time, he always explored the Great Dao of Space and the Great Dao of Time.

Yet, both Daos were extraordinarily profound. Despite his efforts, Xia Feng made little progress, though he was sufficiently prepared to guard against such eerie methods.

However, the women had never encountered the Great Dao of Time, and Xia Feng worried that if they were really pushed to the brink, the adversaries might disregard the women’s status and threaten them to force Xia Feng’s hand.

Ending a life in just two breaths—if Xia Feng was held back and couldn’t shield them in the Dream Realm Pearl, losing any of them would feel like having a piece of his heart torn out.

With this in mind, his eyes shifted as he turned to the women: "Those people are evidently coming for me."

"If you stay by my side, it’ll be a hassle with those people rushing over one by one. Why not let me be the bait to see what exactly these people intend to pull."

Sun Yazhu looked worried: "We just heard them say there are as many as three hundred on the other side. If a conflict breaks out, husband..."

She pursed her lips, somewhat disagreeing with Xia Feng’s risky approach, especially after witnessing the peculiar deaths; their concern for Xia Feng’s safety grew.

Xia Feng smiled: "Don’t worry, I don’t take such petty tricks seriously."

He paused and added: "Besides, if I really can’t handle it, I can always hide in the Dream Realm Pearl; they won’t be able to harm me."

Zhao Lingxuan furrowed her brows tightly: "We want to stand by husband’s side, to offer our meager strength, to assist..."

Before she could finish, Qi Wan’Er, beside her, gently tugged her wrist, subtly shaking her head.

Sun Yazhu took a deep breath, put away her disapproval, and spoke with a hint of worry: "Since husband has decided, we naturally support him."
