Xuanwu War Sovereign

Chapter 449: Chapter 448: Dragon Egg

Qin Feng felt he had underestimated the cunning of the fiery-tempered Ji Huang’Er.

After dispatching Qi Mingfeng with a single strike, Qin Feng turned and surveyed the entire hall—or more precisely, the Jade Box on the dressing table.

Out of caution, he scanned every inch of the hall with his Divine Thought. Only after confirming there were no other Array Prohibitions did he walk over to the Jade Box.

The moment his Divine Thought swept over the Jade Box, a golden light shot out from around it. Qin Feng felt a sharp, needle-like pain in his Divine Thought and hastily withdrew it.

’A Thick Earth and Cloud Linked Prohibition. Just Twenty-Four Earthly Fiend Prohibitions! Nothing to it!’

A smile touched the corners of his lips as Qin Feng guided a wisp of Star True Power, letting it drift lightly to envelop the Jade Box.

This Prohibition was just like picking a lock.

Of course, if one was powerful enough, they could also shatter it with brute force.

However, although the Thick Earth and Cloud Linked Prohibition was only of the Twenty-fourth Layer, it could channel Earth Spirit Qi and was fused with the Divine Hall as a whole.

Using brute force would likely awaken the Divine Hall’s final protective power.

HISS! HISS!

With a few soft hisses, the Prohibition around the Jade Box dissipated like a cloud, revealing the box itself.

Remaining vigilant, Qin Feng gently opened the Jade Box. To his surprise, it contained nothing but a single hairpin.

It was a green wooden hairpin. As he picked it up, he caught a whiff of a fresh, rejuvenating woody scent.

’It’s Thousand-Year Cloud Dragon Wood!’

Qin Feng shook his head. Thousand-Year Cloud Dragon Wood was just an ordinary Yellow-Rank Spirit Wood, and it wasn’t very valuable.

He casually tucked away the green wooden hairpin along with its Jade Box, then glanced around. Seeing nothing else of value, he immediately headed off to search the fourth side hall.

The fourth side hall was called the Cloud Scripture Hall, and it too was completely empty.

The fifth side hall was called the Qingping Hall.

As he walked into the Qingping Hall, Qin Feng saw a dozen or so people gathered before a Golden Court Jade Pillar.

ROAR! ROAR!

Faintly, within the pillar, coiling Red Dragons could be seen. A number of figures scrambled about in a sorry state, desperately dodging the dragons’ attacks.

Among them were several familiar faces.

Xia You, ranked first in the Inner Sect; Yin Xue’er, ranked second; Huo Lei, ranked third; Mo Zixi, ranked fifth; Liu Baiyuan, ranked eighth; and Yuan Chuxing, ranked ninth. There were also a few other formidable figures, such as Lei Jiyuan, Wei Huang, and Shi Qing—all of them powerful Inner Sect Disciples.

On the other side, a small group stood at the edge of the hall, watching the scene with cold detachment. Among them were Yan Ge and Qi Xia’er, whom Qin Feng recognized immediately, along with another man and two women.

The fact that this man and two women could stand together with Yan Ge and Qi Xia’er suggested they were no simple figures.

Hearing the footsteps, the group of a dozen or so people whirled around, their gazes instantly falling on the black-robed youth who had just walked in.

"Someone else is here?"

"Is it a junior or senior brother?"

"It’s him, Qin Feng!"

...

Some of the Inner Sect Disciples recognized Qin Feng.

"So this is the Qin Feng who became the Leader of the Star Martial Arts Assembly? Shouldn’t this kid be off completing his Inner Sect trial mission? What’s he doing here?"

A green-robed youth crossed his arms, scrutinizing the approaching black-robed youth with a hint of battle lust in his eyes.

Yan Ge glanced at the green-robed youth beside him and said, "Brother Dong, don’t be surprised. This Qin Feng has never been one to keep a low profile. Wherever there’s trouble, you’ll find him! It would be best if you didn’t provoke him, Brother Dong!"

Yan Ge knew Dong Hao’s personality well and deliberately feigned a tone of concern.

Sure enough, upon hearing Yan Ge’s words, the battle lust in Dong Hao’s eyes flared. "Brother Yan, now that you put it that way, I, Dong Hao, simply must see for myself. I refuse to believe there’s anyone here I can’t afford to provoke!"

Moving like the wind, the green-robed youth appeared before Qin Feng in an instant.

"You’re Qin Feng? The top new disciple who became the Leader of the Star Martial Arts Assembly? I hear you’re tough. Fight me!"

Qin Feng’s brow furrowed as he looked at the green-robed figure who had suddenly appeared before him. Yan Ge and Dong Hao hadn’t bothered to lower their voices during their earlier conversation, so Qin Feng had heard everything clearly.

’That Yan Ge clearly doesn’t have good intentions.’

Qin Feng couldn’t be bothered with this fool who was being used as a pawn, so he started walking toward the Golden Court Jade Pillar.

"Hey, Qin! Are you looking down on me?" Seeing Qin Feng’s dismissive expression, Dong Hao narrowed his eyes, a flicker of anger in their depths.

’Is this guy really that dumb, or is he just pretending?’ With a helpless look, Qin Feng turned around. "Senior Brother, what are you saying? This is a place filled with hidden treasures. If we fight and both end up injured, wouldn’t that just benefit everyone else?"

Dong Hao was taken aback for a moment, then he nodded. "You’re right. This isn’t the place for us to fight. Once we’re back at the Star Sect, we’ll have our match!"

Without waiting for Qin Feng to react, he turned and walked back to the two beautiful women.

’What a character.’ Qin Feng had thought Dong Hao was just a stubborn blockhead and that a fight would be inevitable. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw him back down.

If Dong Hao really hadn’t known when to back off, Qin Feng wouldn’t have minded the trouble of dealing with him, but it was always better to avoid a fight if possible.

Qin Feng’s gaze swept over Yan Ge, a flash of killing intent in his eyes. Yan Ge was powerful, insidious, and cunning. But what Qin Feng found most intolerable was that he had goaded Dong Hao into confronting him—a truly venomous act.

’I have to find a chance to finish him.’

As that murderous thought flashed through Qin Feng’s mind, Yan Ge seemed to sense it. He stared back at Qin Feng, his own eyes glinting with sharp killing intent.

Turning away, his gaze fell upon the pillars in the hall. In the vast, empty space stood nine Coiling Dragon Clear Wind Pillars.

The central Coiling Dragon Clear Wind Pillar shimmered with a brilliant light. The gathered experts had evidently triggered its Prohibition. Vaguely, nine crimson coiling dragons could be seen circling the pillar, spewing Red Divine Fire.

Xia You, Huo Lei, Lei Jiyuan, Wei Huang, Shi Qing, and the others looked on with extreme caution, keeping to the corners to dodge the jets of Red Divine Fire.

’This is the Nine Dragon Divine Fire Prohibition... a Ninefold Celestial Spirit Prohibition!’

Qin Feng’s expression changed.

Prohibitions were divided into Earth Evil Prohibitions and Heavenly Gang Prohibitions.

Earth Evil Prohibitions had seventy-two layers; the higher the layer, the more profound their power.

Heavenly Gang Prohibitions were superior to Earth Evil Prohibitions. It took a seventy-two-layer Earth Evil Prohibition to forge a single Heavenly Gang Prohibition.

Qin Feng was extremely familiar with the Prohibition before him, formed by the red divine dragons. It was an incredibly powerful Fire Attribute Prohibition known as the Nine Dragon Divine Fire Prohibition, and it was nine layers deep.

Even a Martial Arts Giant would suffer greatly if they tried to charge through the True Flame spat out by the nine fiery, coiling dragons. If they tried to force their way through, they would likely be struck by the full force of the Nine Dragon Divine Fire Prohibition and reduced to cinders.

Qin Feng focused his vision and could clearly see three treasures hidden within the Coiling Dragon Clear Wind Pillar, protected by the Nine Dragon Divine Fire Prohibition.

The first was a shimmering, crimson bead—a Dragon Pearl.

The second compartment held a fiery-red longsword. The blade was as red as blood and engraved with dragon patterns, and a faint dragon’s cry seemed to emanate from it. It was a High-level Spirit Sword.

The third compartment contained a crimson egg!
