Pursued by the Top Grade Saintess after Engagement Annulled

A gentleman’s revenge is never too late, even after ten years.

Xia Feng took two deep breaths, suppressing the anger in his heart before speaking: "Is the Sword Intent at the top of Celestial Sword Mountain not allowed to be comprehended?"

The Holy Sword Elder paused for a moment, realizing he had shown too much eagerness, and forced a smile.

"It can be comprehended, but don’t you want to see the inheritance left by the Holy Sword Divine Emperor?"

"If you obtain the inheritance, these Sword Intent rules will become as easy as breathing for you, with no need to intentionally comprehend them."

Xia Feng’s expression became subtly nuanced as he asked in confusion, "But I haven’t seen the inheritance?"

"Before receiving the inheritance, I need to prepare well to avoid failing any tests and wasting a valuable opportunity."

The Holy Sword Elder waved his blood-colored sleeve, and a pitch-black vortex appeared beside Xiao Feng.

The ominous feeling within Xia Feng grew stronger, yet he showed no unusual expression, instead speaking with a touch of curiosity: "What is this?"

The Holy Sword Elder’s speech was slightly faster than usual: "This is the inheritance of the Holy Sword Divine Emperor."

"As long as you enter, you can receive the Divine Emperor’s inheritance."

Although the Holy Sword Elder disguised it well, Xia Feng detected his urgency from his accelerated speech.

Xia Feng, who was already somewhat wary, became even more vigilant in his heart.

He stepped forward and circled the pitch-black vortex, observing for a long time.

Unfortunately, with his comprehension of the Great Dao of Space, he couldn’t discern where the other end of the vortex led.

But the ominous feeling became more pronounced as he approached the vortex.

Xia Feng couldn’t gamble with such a risk, so he stepped back a few paces.

The Holy Sword Elder’s face quickly flashed with anxiety, but he quickly covered it up.

"What is it?"

"This is the inheritance of the Holy Sword Divine Emperor. Because you are the first to arrive, you can enter to receive the inheritance."

"Once others climb up, they can also enter the Inheritance Space, and your advantage will be lost."

Xia Feng slightly raised his eyebrow and pulled out a naive and honest smile.

"Climbing Celestial Sword Mountain took a lot of effort, and I need a good rest to adequately prepare before entering the Inheritance Space to receive the inheritance."

He spoke with feigned pride: "Don’t be fooled by my appearance; I once obtained the inheritance of a Divine Monarch."

While Xia Feng diverted the Holy Sword Elder’s attention with his words, he was also carefully observing the elder’s expression.

The fleeting greed on his face, which flickered briefly when Xia Feng mentioned obtaining another inheritance, was caught by Xia Feng even though it disappeared quickly.

His heart began to sink, but he still wore a silly smile.

With a hint of urgency in his brow, the Holy Sword Elder had no way to compel Xia Feng and could only urge: "Then adjust quickly."

"When others climb up later, you won’t be able to seize the initiative."

Xia Feng scratched his head: "Hehe, I’m a follower of the Divine Maiden, and I never intended to seize too many opportunities. It’s just that the Divine Maiden cares for me, so she gave me quite a few benefits."

"They say this Holy Sword Divine Emperor is an ancestor of the Li Family. As an outsider, just tagging along behind the Divine Maiden for some profit is enough for me."

"The greatest inheritance should still be left for the Li Family."

The Holy Sword Elder’s body trembled with anxiety, and his voice changed pitch twice: "How can you think like that?"

Although he didn’t see the outside situation of the Holy Sword Pavilion, he did indeed feel the bloodline power of the Holy Sword Divine Emperor.

But the young man in front of him, obviously the strongest in their group and about to receive the Divine Emperor’s inheritance, could actually restrain himself for others?

If the Holy Sword Elder wasn’t so confident in his image, he would have suspected the young man had realized something.

Xia Feng grinned foolishly: "The Divine Maiden treats me well, letting me try out all the good things first."

"In the past, it was only thanks to obtaining a Celestial God Demon Heart, something even the Divine Maiden didn’t take, leaving it to me."

"So, I will also leave good things for the Divine Maiden."

The Holy Sword Elder secretly cursed; Li Family members all had this kind of virtue, saying they leave good things for others when actually they were just making others the guinea pigs.

When they saw that the Celestial God Demon Heart wasn’t something they could control, they didn’t absorb it themselves.

He took a deep breath and frowned as he said, "You must be quick. What if the second to arrive isn’t the Divine Maiden? Getting it yourself is still better than letting others have it, right?"

Xia Feng seemed to ponder this, but after a long time, he still shook his head: "No, I think everyone’s pace was quite slow when I climbed."

"The second is indeed the Divine Maiden, and the third is also one of our people."

"If it doesn’t work out, the fourth is a Li Family member anyway."

The Holy Sword Elder choked on a mouthful of blood, wishing he could shake Xia Feng awake to make him go into the vortex.

But in the end, he couldn’t force Xia Feng into the so-called Inheritance Space and could only stand aside with a cold face, watching Xia Feng sit cross-legged and begin meditating.

Xia Feng dared not enter the Dream Realm Pearl here, only closed his eyes and cautiously pondered these events.

The vortex definitely had issues; otherwise, the Holy Sword Elder wouldn’t be in such a hurry.

But Xia Feng’s probing was not without value, at least he found out that the Holy Sword Elder couldn’t force him into the vortex.

If he could, given the Holy Sword Elder’s high cultivation, he would have acted long ago and thrown him in forcibly.

Two whole days passed with Xia Feng just adjusting his breath, and during this time, the Holy Sword Elder urged him multiple times to enter the Inheritance Space, but Xia Feng always played dumb and evaded it.

Finally, the Holy Sword Elder stopped urging, standing beside the pitch-black vortex with closed eyes to rest, occasionally flashing crimson glows from his body that landed on the Celestial Sword Mountain below.

Xia Feng speculated he was adjusting the climbing difficulty for those behind.

Indeed, the second person to arrive was Li Qingxue, and when she reached the top of Celestial Sword Mountain, the same Sword Intent Body descended upon her.

The Holy Sword Elder tried to interrupt Li Qingxue’s comprehension in the same manner, but Xia Feng directly stood in front of Li Qingxue to block the elder’s view.

"Hehe, don’t rush, don’t rush, the Divine Maiden needs to comprehend for a while."

"Didn’t the Holy Sword Elder say that the Sword Intent at the top of Celestial Sword Mountain could be comprehended? Don’t be so anxious."

The Holy Sword Elder immediately started to suspect that Xia Feng knew something, and in a bad tone, he asked: "What’s going on with you?"

"First, you didn’t want to accept the inheritance yourself, saying you wanted the Divine Maiden of the Li Family to take it, and now that she’s here, you’re still reluctant."
