After the Engagement Was Broken Off, I Was Pursued by Peerless Holy Maidens - Chapter 79:

Chapter 79: Arrival at Longxiang Holy Land

“That’s right, I’m Earth Grade,” Xia Feng said with a faint smile.

“No… that’s impossible! Earth Grade Martial Saints are top-level powerhouses even in high-tier holy lands. How could you possibly be one?!” the Eighth Elder said in disbelief.

“Whether I am or not, you already know the answer.”

Xia Feng shook his head. Then he sneered and instantly flashed in front of the Eighth and Ninth Elders. The Snow Clear Sword was raised with a cold gleam.

The two of them completely collapsed, their faces filled with despair. An Earth Grade Martial Saint—there was no way they could fight that!

“No! Don’t kill us!”

“My lord, please spare us! We won’t seek revenge anymore!”

Unfortunately, Xia Feng’s actions did not stop because of their pleas.

With a swoosh, the Snow Clear Sword swept across both their necks. Two heads flew into the air.

Just like that, two Yellow Grade 9th stage Martial Saints fell in a remote place like Xingyu City.

Xia Feng sheathed the Snow Clear Sword and expertly began to search their bodies.

Their weapons—a long spear and a halberd—were both low-grade Sacred Weapons.

Xia Feng had been able to instantly kill them mainly because his cultivation far surpassed theirs.

His Snow Clear Sword had yet to be upgraded, but now, the perfect materials had delivered themselves to his door.

He tossed the sword into the air. It hovered beside him, and Xia Feng extracted both Sacred Weapons along with the remaining Dao weapons.

“Whoosh!”

A flame ignited in his palm, and Xia Feng began refining the spiritual energy within the weapons.

Before long, the refined, purified energy was fed into the Snow Clear Sword.

The sword responded with excitement. After Xia Feng had nourished it over these past few days, it had started to develop a hint of spiritual intelligence.

Within the time it took to burn an incense stick, the sword finished absorbing all the refined spiritual energy. Its quality improved dramatically, and it now radiated a deep, mysterious aura.

“It broke through—now it’s a low-grade Sacred Weapon.”

Holding the Snow Clear Sword in his hand, Xia Feng couldn’t help but recall Li Qingxue’s smiling face.

If she knew that the sword she gifted him had evolved into a Sacred Weapon, she would surely be delighted.

Xia Feng took a deep breath, and the images of the ten supreme holy land sect masters flashed through his mind. A sense of powerlessness still lingered.

Even as an Earth Grade Martial Saint now, compared to them, he was still small.

“My strength still isn’t enough. Longxiang Holy Land… Since you came after me first, I won’t be polite.”

Xia Feng chuckled. At this moment, he was in desperate need of materials from Martial Saints and above.

Whether it was Sacred Weapons to feed the Snow Clear Sword or Sacred-level martial techniques, he lacked them all!

This Longxiang Holy Land was like a pillow offered just when he needed rest.

From the storage rings, Xia Feng found a map of Longxiang Holy Land. Without delay, he took off at full speed toward it.

…

Outer gates of Longxiang Holy Land.

Outer and inner disciple Lu Xiaohan yawned lazily as he floated in the air, doing his routine patrol.

As the only mid-tier holy land in Qing City of the Northern State, Longxiang Holy Land was a true giant. No force with any sense would ever dare provoke them.

He had heard that something big had happened in the sect recently—so much so that even the Eighth and Ninth Elders had personally gone out on a mission.

Bored, he was about to go see what Senior Sister Wang Ranan was up to, but just as he turned toward the inner sect, a terrifying aura rapidly approached!

He looked up to see a purple stream of light blazing toward Longxiang Holy Land. The figure held a sword in one hand and a long purple flaming blade in the other.

The aura of this person was far too terrifying—far stronger than even the Grand Elder of their holy land!

Lu Xiaohan’s pupils shrank. He instantly raised the alarm, tossing out a voice-amplifying talisman and broadcasting to the entire sect:

“Alert! We’re under attack!!!”

At that moment, the Holy Master of Longxiang Holy Land was hosting Ma and Wang, showing them around the sect’s best training grounds.

The Vice Holy Master, Grand Elder, and other senior figures were all present.

Behind them stood over a dozen beautiful inner disciples, holding spiritual fruits and pills, following respectfully behind them.

The reception could not have been more extravagant.

Ma Yihui and Wang Zehao basked in this treatment. In the Imperial Prince’s mansion, they were the lowest of the low.

Yet outside, even as mere servants of the prince’s household, they were treated like honored guests by the holy land masters!

“Not bad. Your holy land has developed well. The disciples are of high quality, and your training methods are excellent. When I return, I’ll report this to the prince. Maybe there will be a chance to include you in the imperial lineage.”

Ma Yihui stroked his goatee with an aloof air.

Hearing this, the Holy Master and the other elders were overwhelmed with joy, quickly expressing their gratitude.

“Thank you, my lord! Thank you!”

“This is great! If we can be included in the imperial prince’s lineage, even high-tier holy lands will bow before us!”

“Please, my lord, speak highly of us. If our Longxiang Holy Land is accepted into the imperial lineage, we will serve you with utmost loyalty—even at the cost of our lives!”

The Holy Master even grabbed Ma Yihui’s hand, his eyes brimming with tears, his face full of devoted loyalty.

“Alert! We’re under attack!!!”

Just as Ma Yihui coughed and was about to speak again with a dramatic air, Lu Xiaohan’s voice echoed throughout the entire Longxiang Holy Land.

“What’s going on? Someone actually dares to cause trouble here, and at this moment?”

A cold glint flashed in the Holy Master’s eyes. He turned angrily to three elders behind him and ordered, “You three, go take care of those blind fools immediately. Don’t let them disturb our honored guests!”

For hundreds of years, no one in Qing City had dared to provoke Longxiang Holy Land. And now, just a few days after the imperial guests arrived, someone had the audacity to stir up trouble?

What did this mean?

It was a blatant slap to his face!

None of the nearby low-tier holy lands had the courage to do this. Whoever it was had to be from at least a mid-tier holy land.

Could it be the Seven-Star Black Tortoise Holy Land from Cloud City?

The Holy Master narrowed his eyes in thought, but quickly pushed it aside. Entertaining these two guests was the most important thing right now.

Once those blind idiots were crushed, he’d investigate slowly.

Whoever it was, Longxiang Holy Land would make them pay!

“Come, come—next, I’ll take you to visit our Dragon-Tiger Cavern, the best cultivation ground in our inner sect…”

The Holy Master quickly stepped forward to welcome the two.

“Mm.”

Ma and Wang nodded arrogantly and followed.

Conflicts between holy lands were nothing unusual. Neither of them gave it a second thought.
