Chapter 513 513. Xia Feng’s Shocking Scam
Given the current situation, the battle for the Saint’s remains involves too many factions. Rushing into the fray is not a good choice. However, being a player behind the scenes, hidden in the shadows, is not bad.
Touching the Time-Space Box and receiving its information was instantaneous. Xia Feng quickly modified the information within the box while looking around. Inside the sea of fire, sharp roars echoed incessantly. Rotting corpses, solidified by blood and fire, with ferocious expressions, surged towards him in dense numbers. These were the “furnace slaves” who had lost their minds to the furnace’s flames, exuding a terrifying aura.
Xia Feng’s expression turned grave. Grasping the Time-Space Box, he leaped into the air, activating his Blood Spirit Construct and igniting his blood, flying towards the exit. Xia Feng’s movements were incredibly fast. Before everyone could recover from their disbelief and shock, he had already returned along the same path, emerging directly from the furnace’s top. Below, dense piles of rotting corpses surged upwards, attempting to grab his ankles, but only grasped empty air. The mountain of corpses collapsed, plunging back into the sea of blood flames.
When Xia Feng truly emerged from the furnace unharmed, everyone’s pupils, which had contracted, slowly expanded. “No way, this guy actually learned an A-class Spirit Robe in just a few minutes?” After this absurd thought crossed their minds, everyone shook their heads and quickly understood. They estimated it was due to the special physique of the Divine Half-dragon, or perhaps he already knew the Blood Spirit Construct. After all, learning an A-class ability in ten-odd minutes was more absurd than the world ending today.
Furthermore, there were indeed Spirit Pressure fluctuations emanating from the boy earlier, and it was True Martial Spirit Pressure! Although not a Venerable, it was enough to leave everyone speechless. They had long heard that Jiang Qiue was extremely cautious, but they never expected her to be this cautious. Even when dealing with Olivia earlier, the life-sized puppet she cultivated had not displayed its full strength.
Xia Feng brushed off the residual fire from his pant legs. When he looked up again, twelve geniuses had already surrounded Jiang Qiue and him. Justice Holy Son and Jin Jili hovered to the west, blocking their escape route. Ye Li Kong stood with his hands behind his back to the east, his indifferent, double pupils looking down. “Jiang Qiue, your plan is indeed good, but unfortunately, you encountered me,” he said. “This time, no matter how strong your escape technique is, you won’t be able to get away.” As he spoke, an invisible force field expanded around Ye Li Kong.
“…” Jiang Qiue wasn’t listening to Ye Li Kong’s boasts at all. She was currently focused on beating up this scoundrel named Xia Feng. She had been steady for so many years, never causing trouble, always playing it safe, and acting low-key. She would never proactively try to snatch any ultimate treasure, thus putting herself in a siege. But she never expected… It seemed ever since she met Xia Feng, she was always in danger. Jiang Qiue’s expression was indifferent as she slowly raised her eyes.
A tall man with flowing blonde hair stood with his hands behind his back in the distant sky, looking down condescendingly. “You have two choices: either hand over the Saint’s Box, or I’ll take it myself.”
“Hiss~ Saintess, this brat is so arrogant,” Xia Feng said as he arrived beside Jiang Qiue, feeling a little excited in his heart. “If I were you, I’d unleash my ultimate move and beat him up! Let him know the consequences of disrespecting the Nine-Tails Star Lord!”
“.!” Hearing Xia Feng’s schadenfreude tone, Jiang Qiue gritted her teeth in anger. How could there be such a detestable person! It was truly hard to imagine that such a detestable mouth was one she had personally raised. Annoyed, Jiang Qiue shot Xia Feng a cold glare before pulling him by the waist and thinking, “Hold me tight.” As Xia Feng complied, a golden character for ‘遁’ (escape) appeared before his eyes, and the two vanished on the spot right under everyone’s noses.
However, they couldn’t escape. The space seemed to be under a deceleration field. After only a short distance, Jiang Qiue was caught up by the crowd and surrounded again. Jiang Qiue was unwilling to reveal her strength, continuing to disguise her Spirit Pressure as True Martial Second Realm and using some not-so-powerful Spirit Robes. Her injuries gradually worsened, and she frowned deeply.
“Actually, you could just leave me behind and use Words Manifest Reality to teleport yourself away,” Xia Feng suggested sincerely. Jiang Qiue’s Words Manifest Reality could only affect herself, so it wasn’t difficult for her to escape if she wanted to. “What about my suggestion?” Hearing the boy’s calm voice in her ear, Jiang Qiue’s frown deepened. “Shut up!” Having finally gotten Xia Feng, she was unwilling to abandon him just like that!
“Fine, since you’re not abandoning me, let’s abandon the Saint’s Box then.” Xia Feng chuckled and directly threw the golden box in his hand backward. “You—” Jiang Qiue was startled, but the Saint’s Box had already been thrown far away. She had originally thought that Xia Feng, being such a greedy and abominable person, would never give up the Saint’s Box, as it was a shortcut to godhood. Therefore, she hadn’t advised Xia Feng to discard it earlier. But she never expected this guy to be so generous, parting with such a treasure so easily.
“Bang—” At the same time, the pursuing crowd behind them froze. They never expected Jiang Qiue to discard the Saint’s Box directly! But what happened next made their expressions change drastically—the Saint’s Box was opened when it was thrown! Golden light overflowed from within, condensing in the air into a message that seemed to be constructed by laws, directly entering everyone’s eyes and flooding into their minds.
!!!!
[This Time-Space Box contains the information: The Saint’s remains are buried in the Holy Spirit Hall · Spirit Mountain.]
Everyone: “!!!!”
“Damn it!” Ye Li Kong’s expression darkened slightly. While the information about the Saint’s remains was important, letting so many factions know was not a good thing. “It’s actually in Spirit Mountain…” Justice Holy Son’s serious and cold expression also changed, his scalp tingling. The Holy Spirit Hall was the sacred ground of the Three Religions, and Spirit Mountain was the most crucial part. The Three Religions would never allow power factions and legions to set foot on Spirit Mountain!
However, if the power factions and legions joined forces… even with their deep foundations and protection from the three True Gods, the three Holy Sees couldn’t stop them. In that instant, countless thoughts flashed through everyone’s minds, their expressions varied. At the same time, Ye Li Kong and Justice Holy Son appeared on either side of the Saint’s Box and reached out to touch it. Faint golden spiritual light emanated from the Saint’s Box, weaving into ancient and mysterious chains of laws that flowed slowly. Besides this, there was nothing else, nor any other information contained within.
Justice Holy Son frowned even deeper. If this information was true, then the Three Religions would be in trouble. All they could do now was pray that this was a false message deliberately released by the Shi Ming monks, intended to toy with the empire’s high command. But the Holy Spirit Hall was a place of worship for the Three Saint Star Gods. If the Saint’s remains of the Three Saint Star Gods were buried in Spirit Mountain… it was very reasonable.
Xia Feng, who had already fled far away, looked back. Seeing that representatives from all parties had seen the information in the Time-Space Box, he breathed a sigh of relief. The Old Dragon King had asked him to break the seal of Spirit Mountain, and he, a mere nobody, naturally didn’t have the ability to do so. However, some things didn’t necessarily require him to do them personally.
Still, Xia Feng had only cast a bait. Whether the empire’s various factions would take the bait was unknown. Especially with Shi Ming monks as a variable, this being knew the original information in the Time-Space Box. But it didn’t matter anymore. If it succeeded, everyone would be happy. If it failed, it wouldn’t be a big deal, as he had no losses.
Lost in thought, Xia Feng’s black eyes suddenly sharpened. The crowd behind them had stopped pursuing him and Jiang Qiue. However, the mysterious nun with a white hood and the strange woman in a red cloak continued to chase them one after another. It was Teresa and Tang Ruyan!
