"The Thirteen Swords originated from the Sword Stele. A long time ago, a senior of the Liu clan went missing, and he was the only one who learned the Thirteen Swords. He carried the Thirteen Swords inheritance with him, but after he went missing, the Thirteen Swords became extinct. Who would have thought that senior would go to the wasteland, and you're his descendant?"
Hearing Liu Hao's words, Liu Tianmu narrowed his eyes.
"Hand over the Thirteen Swords, and I can let you live. After all, you're also a descendant of the Liu clan," said Liu Hao fiercely. He wasn't greedy; he pursued the Sword Dao, and the Thirteen Swords were extremely attractive to him.
"Liu Hao, back off," said Xia Shenfei. His tone was a bit strange.
Liu Hao frowned and turned to look at Xia Shenfei. He saw the excitement in Xia Shenfei's eyes, as well as an indescribable expression. His expression changed. Not good, Xia Shenfei had gone too far.
"Brother Xia, this woman is a descendant of the Liu clan. Please stay your hand," said Liu Hao.
Xia Shenfei laughed excitedly. "I'll let her live. Back off. I'll play this game."
Liu Hao was helpless. He understood Xia Shenfei. Normally, he was very casual, but once he went too far, he couldn't provoke him. Otherwise, no matter how close they were, they wouldn't have a good ending. Thinking of that, he leapt to the side.
Whether they wanted to admit it or not, they were still a level below the junior ancestor. That level was like the difference between heaven and earth.
The difference in the Yuan Wheel Sacrifice was so great that it was impossible to make up for it.
Eh?
Suddenly, Liu Hao noticed something strange. The tree branch that had been pierced through was where the map had indicated, and there were some insects there. Thinking of that, he leapt down.
On the other side, Xia Shenfei made his move. He took a step forward and appeared right in front of Liu Tianmu. He raised his hand and attacked. Liu Tianmu performed his twelfth sword attack, but it was shattered by Xia Shenfei. The Godly Explosion and the Gravity Ball appeared at the same time. Xia Shenfei used the Godly Martial Transformation to destroy them. With one palm attack, he pushed Liu Tianmu back. At the same time, Yao Xuan and Invisible Light were pushed back.
At this moment, danger appeared behind him. Xia Shenfei turned around and kicked out. The Mountain River Seal was smashed into pieces by Xia Shenfei's kick. Looking into the distance, Wu Taibai covered his face with one hand, and the Divine Martial Qi appeared.
Xia Shenfei grinned. "You're finally willing to fight?
You traitor of the Divine Martial Heaven, did you really think you could escape punishment?
I was the one who suggested we kill you in the Sovereign World. "
Divine Martial Astral Energy, he looked at Xia Shenfei. "I know. Are you sure you can kill me?
Four against one? Even you would have a hard time. "
Xia Shenfei frowned. "It is indeed a bit difficult."
"Don't forget that Bai Shaohong, Long Tian, and Wang Su are all on the same level as you. Is the Origin Item more important than us?" Wu Taibai asked.
Xia Shenfei laughed heartily. "Wu Taibai, oh Wu Taibai, when have you ever seen me, Xia Shenfei, cower in fear? Since I've decided to deal with you, don't even think about leaving the Sovereign Realm alive."
"Brother Xia, someone went in!" Liu Hao shouted from underground. "It should be Wang Su."
Xia Shenfei's expression changed. Without hesitation, he charged into the ground and left them there.
Yao Xuan was stunned. What was the meaning of this?
......... Xia Xia Five's.........
..........
Wu Taibai wasn't surprised. Xia Shenfei was just like that. His words were no different from farts, but he spoke with a strong sense of righteousness, as if he was a righteous man. In fact, it was all an act. "Let's go too. We won't get anything if we're late."
Xia Shenfei rushed underground. He followed the map and came to the bottom. He then saw traces of man-made excavation.

. "It's impossible to make such a mark on a tree branch without the strength of a half-ancestor," Liu Hao said in a deep voice as he looked at the winding tunnel in front of him.
Xia Shenfei frowned. "Stay here and block those four rats."
"I can't," Liu Hao said directly. He was confident that he could suppress any one of them, but he couldn't block all four of them.
Xia Shenfei rolled his eyes. "Block them for a while. Let me go in and take a look."
"If you can't block them, I'll retreat," Liu Hao said seriously.
Xia Shenfei was speechless. These people from the Liu family who specialized in the way of the sword seemed simple-minded, but they were all cunning. He followed the winding path into the tunnel, and not long after, the sounds of an intense battle could be heard from outside.
Xia Shenfei didn't care about that, as he cared a lot about the origin item. As for what he had just said, did he say anything at all?
Not long after, the tunnel opened up, and Xia Shenfei arrived at a spacious area. This should be the interior of the tree branch. He saw the giant tribulation crystal pillar in the distance, the leaf on top of it, and Wang Su, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground.
…
Three days later, Long Tian's group and Bai Shaohong's group arrived at the joint of the tree branch at the same time.
Looking around, Long Tian was astonished. "Someone came early."
Bai Shaohong looked at the marks on the ground. "The Liu family's sword qi, and …" "Shenwu Celestial's Divine Martial Qi," Long Tian said.
The group arrived at the edge of the tunnel and looked down. A cold wind blew from below, making it very sinister.
Long Xi glanced at Lu Yin.
Lu Yin stepped forward and released his domain downwards. He discovered that even though there were cultivation methods for domains in this region of space, there weren't many people who cultivated them. Even top experts like Long Tian and Bai Shaohong didn't cultivate domains, which was very strange.
His domain extended all the way down to the very bottom. "Someone fought there, and it was very intense."
Bai Shaohong jumped down, and the others followed suit without hesitation.
Along the way, they saw insects that had been smashed to pieces.
Bai Shaohong's gaze turned cold. "Wang Su."
"Xia Shenfei should be here as well," Long Tian said.
Bai Shaohong smiled. "It seems like we're late. The two sides are fighting quite intensely."
"Wang Su only has one helper at most. How can that person with his eyes closed fight against Xia Shenfei?" Long Tian was puzzled.
No one could answer him.
Soon, the two teams arrived at the very bottom of the tunnel. They looked at the traces of an intense battle and the spreading sword scars, but neither spoke.
"Brother Long, we're too late. There might be corpses inside, but there might not be anything we want," Bai Shaohong said. He wasn't too disappointed, as this place had not been part of their plan. If they hadn't accidentally obtained the map, they wouldn't have come here. The four scales all had their own places that they wanted to explore, and those places had a high chance of containing origin items.
Long Tian and Bai Shaohong exchanged glances. "What do you want?"
Bai Shaohong smiled. "Let's work together and snatch it."
Long Tian nodded in agreement. "Naturally."
Bai Shaohong looked at Long Xi. "It's my honor to work with the White Dragon Clan. In the future, our relationship will be even closer."
Lu Yin frowned. This guy had not stopped talking trash the entire time, and he had been constantly provoking them. How disgusting. He looked at Bai Shaohong, but Bai Shaohong didn't even look at him. He was only focused on Long Xi, completely ignoring Lu Yin. Bai Shaohong hadn't responded along the way, and he wouldn't react now either.
(This chapter is not finished. Please turn the page.)
What a coward.
Long Xi's expression did not change.
Long Tian said, "Let's go. We'll talk about the future in the future."
Bai Shaohong smiled and nodded. The two of them led the way, and the group entered the winding tunnel.
Long Xi had purposely brought Bai Shaohong to stay at the back. On Bai Shaohong's side, Shang Qing was supposed to stay at the end, but Yun Tingting stayed at the end, so he was in the middle.
Gradually, the winding tunnel widened, and they reached the center of the branch.
It was hard to imagine that so many people were inside a single branch, exploring a single branch.
Not long after, a faint light came from the distance. Bai Shaohong and Long Tian exchanged glances and sped up. They turned a corner and saw a spacious area. The first thing they saw was a huge tribulation crystal pillar, a green leaf, and Wang Su, Xia Shenfei, and the others sitting cross-legged on the ground.
Lu Yin turned the corner and saw this strange scene as well. His mouth fell open as he stared blankly. Wasn't this the place where he had rolled Enhance and fused with the corpse?
What a coincidence!
No matter how strange this place was, no one was as shocked as Lu Yin. He had never thought that he would actually end up here. He looked up and saw that, indeed, there was a dried corpse far behind the tribulation crystal pillar. It was the same corpse that he had merged with, one that was unable to control its own movements.
It was too much of a coincidence. Lu Yin retracted his gaze and suppressed his shock so that no one would notice. He looked forward again and saw that the pillar was huge, much bigger than the one Long Ding had used to break through the lower finger. It should be enough for someone to break through the middle finger. There were a few people sitting cross-legged on either side of the pillar. He saw Ming Guang, Liu Tianmu, and the others.
Wang Su, Xia Shenfei, and the others did not move. They just sat cross-legged on the ground as if they were meditating. There were no signs of fighting, which was too strange.
Bai Shaohong and Long Tian did not dare to act rashly.
There were a total of seven people sitting cross-legged on the ground: Wang Su, Xia Shenfei, Wu Taibai, Yao Xuan, Liu Tianmu, Ming Guang, and Liu Hao. They were from three different teams, and the traces of fighting outside belonged to them.
Lu Yin looked at the seven people sitting on the ground, and his eyes flashed. Not good, Ming Guang's team had been exposed.
Wang Su, Xia Shenfei, and Liu Hao sat cross-legged on the left while Ming Guang, Wu Taibai, Yao Xuan, and Liu Tianmu sat cross-legged on the right. Yao Xuan and Wu Taibai were from the Divine Martial Sky. There was only one possibility for such a situation to occur. Ming Guang and Wu Taibai had been exposed as stowaways.
Lu Yin sighed inwardly. It seemed that he could not hide this any longer. Once they were awakened and the battle started, Ming Guang and the others would definitely not help him hide. Even if he did not awaken them, the Prime Clear Group would still fight for the Origin Artifact. Their goal was to obtain the Origin Artifact, and they would definitely expose themselves.
When he thought of this, Lu Yin looked at Long Xi apologetically. He had endured all this while because he did not want to burden Long Xi too much. Even if he had secretly attacked, as long as he did not expose himself openly, Long Xi would not have to bear too much. But now, it seemed that he could not hide anymore.
Bai Shaohong gave Dongshan a look, and Dongshan shouted, "Junior Ancestor Xia."
No one responded.
Xia Shenfei acted as if he had not heard anything.
Dongshan frowned and shouted again, "Junior Ancestor Wang."
Wang Su did not move, and he also acted as if he had not heard anything.
Bai Shaohong narrowed his eyes and looked around. He then looked at Lu Yin. "Release your domain and scout the surroundings."
Lu Yin didn't even bother with him.
