Chapter 145: The Peach Blossom Legacy

“This is bad. How could the opponent be this powerful?”

The moment Xiao Junlin landed, he instantly transformed into a streak of white light and vanished from the spot.

Chu Feng did not pursue him.

If he truly chased after him, although Xiao Junlin was fast, escape would be impossible.

However, for Chu Feng, there was no need.

As the Child of Destiny, he was still waiting to reap the benefits.

What excited him most was that just now, with a single strike, his reward was immediately credited.

[Congratulations, host. Successfully suppressed the Child of Destiny Xiao Junlin, gaining 30 million fortune points and receiving a Supreme Order.]

This reward left Chu Feng somewhat puzzled.

“System, could you explain what exactly this Supreme Order is?”

Could it be related to the Supreme Hall? That was the only possibility.

[The Supreme Hall contains the secret to immortality. It is a hidden sect with a special status, observed by all top-tier forces but also respected by them. A million years ago, the heirs of the Supreme Hall led humanity in resisting demons, holding extraordinary status. Thus, three Supreme Orders were created, each representing the promise of all human forces. When a Supreme Order is issued, it commands the world, and no one dares disobey.]

In other words, this Supreme Order signified authority.

Perhaps it could be summed up as: when the Supreme Order is issued, it commands the world—who dares to challenge me, Chu Feng?

Ha ha ha.

“Although this Supreme Order is a bit lacking, I accept it.”

“But System, your rewards seem to be getting more and more perfunctory. Look at the reward for dealing with Ye Fan before, can this compare? Don’t think I, the Ancestor, haven’t noticed your tricks and slackening. After all, we are partners.”

Yet, Chu Feng’s words were completely ignored by the system.

Xiao Junlin’s appearance did not deter the others from their previous plans.

At this moment, however, Xiao Junlin’s face was ashen, his killing intent fierce.

Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, his raging fury exploded instantly.

“Who exactly is that person? How could they be so strong?”

“I, Xiao Junlin, am the heir of the Supreme Hall. At the same level, I’m actually no match for him. No, this person will be the greatest obstacle to my marriage with Xiao Qingyue.”

“If it weren’t for the Supreme Hall’s rules forbidding all heirs from revealing their identity, I would have married Qingyue by now. There wouldn’t have been this martial contest for a bride.”

“I must find a way to kill this person.”

A powerful killing intent burst from Xiao Junlin.

No sooner had he finished speaking—

Suddenly, his expression changed drastically.

“My fortune has been damaged.”

“This is bad. He is also a Child of Destiny. Every time I suppress him, my fortune decreases. If suppressed more than five times, my fortune will be completely reduced, and I will lose the destiny of a Child of Destiny.”

“However, if I defeat and suppress him, I can absorb his fortune. Repeating this more than five times will allow me to completely seize his fortune.”

“But before that, I need to find out who he really is.”

Xiao Junlin had only taken a few steps when he collided headlong with a staggering, severely wounded man rushing toward him.

The man, having just been beaten by Chu Feng and injured, knew that the other party was also a Child of Destiny, and deep within felt an overwhelming sense of urgency. Even walking, he was accidentally bumped into, igniting his fury.

He snorted coldly, killing intent flashing immediately. He struck a palm at the man who had bumped into him.

The man was sent flying and died on the spot.

Xiao Junlin frowned. The key was that this man was too weak.

At that moment—

From the body of the man he had just killed, a white figure suddenly emerged, looking around in confusion. It quickly noticed Xiao Junlin and turned to flee.

“A spiritual entity.”

Xiao Junlin’s joy was immediate.

“Haha, I, Xiao Junlin, truly am a Child of Destiny! To encounter such a spiritual entity, how could I let you escape?”

A spiritual entity is a special race born from the essence of heaven and earth.

One can refine it to create an external avatar. Of course, the premise is that after refinement, the owner remains alive; if the owner dies, the spiritual entity breaks free.

Now that he had encountered one, he would not let it go.

Once refined, it becomes an external avatar.

Xiao Junlin immediately moved to seize it.

He reached out to grab the spiritual entity.

Yet, the moment he grasped it, the spiritual entity shattered, transforming into a crystal that fell to the ground.

“Such a pity. It couldn’t even maintain its spiritual entity form.”

Xiao Junlin was regretful as he squatted down to pick up the crystal stone.

This spiritual entity crystal needed to be carefully nurtured back at home.

“Huh? What is this?”

“Divine assistance indeed.”

Xiao Junlin surprisingly found a box on the man’s body. Opening it, he discovered it was a sword case containing twelve small swords, which instantly made him think of its origin.

Ten thousand years ago—

A peerless Sword Immortal appeared in the Central Domain.

Known as the Peach Blossom Sword Immortal, the Tribulation Crossing Heavenly Lord, ranked second on the Heavenly List.

Skilled in sword control, he slew countless enemies with these twelve immortal swords.

About a thousand years ago, his lifespan ended, and he finally fell. His legacy disappeared without a trace.

Legend has it that after his death, he left behind a sword case.

Inside were the twelve flying swords he once wielded, along with his Peach Blossom legacy.

Although Xiao Junlin, as an heir of the Supreme Hall, had many legacies and immortal emperor inheritances, acquiring the Peach Blossom legacy would undoubtedly greatly enhance his strength, elevating it significantly.

He packed away the sword case and prepared to leave.

At that moment—

From afar came shouting, “This way! He’s escaping this way!”

Several figures rushed over, spotting Xiao Junlin and the dead man on the ground from a distance.

They immediately surrounded him.

Swords drawn, eyes fixed sharply on Xiao Junlin.

Seeing the attire of these pursuers, Xiao Junlin instantly recognized their identity: they were the Xuanyuan Guards of the Ji family.

The Ji family imperial clan commands an army of 30,000 known as the Xuanyuan Guards, numerous and formidable, each with at least core cultivation.

Among them are even Tribulation Crossing Heavenly Lords.

Their sudden appearance here, pursuing this man, spoke volumes.

The Peach Blossom sword case likely was stolen from the Ji family imperial clan, and the man was severely wounded. Now the Xuanyuan Guards had caught up.

Normally, the Xuanyuan Guards wouldn’t hesitate to kill intruders.

The critical point was this was the Void Sacred Land, controlled by the Ji family imperial clan. Killing here meant certain death.

Even Xiao Junlin could not guarantee his safety.

While he was still stunned, the Xuanyuan Guards closed in, weapons drawn, launching an attack without a word.

“Unexpectedly, there’s an accomplice too. Quickly broadcast his appearance and notify the entire Xuanyuan Guard.”
