Chapter 306 Shattering Their Confidence (1/2)

Many minutes have passed since the conversation between Senior Nie and Xiao Hua ended, but the atmosphere there remained heavy, almost suffocating, especially for those people standing closest to the Dragon Essence Temple.

”Xiao Hua, here are my treasures. Please hold onto them while I enter the Mystic Realm.” Yuan handed Xiao Hua his spatial ring and storage pouch.

”Xiao Hua will protect the treasures without fail!” Xiao Hua said to him with a serious look on her face, acting like she was handed a big responsibility.

”Who would dare to steal from a Spirit King in the Lower Heavens?” Feng Yuxiang raised her eyebrows.

Xiao Hua could leave Yuan's treasure on the ground, go take a nap, and come back with the treasure still on the ground, completely untouched.

”By the way, what are you going to do with your Soul Weapons, Young Master?” Feng Yuxiang suddenly asked him.

”S-Soul Weapon?!” Long Yijun and the others turned to look at them with wide eyes filled with shock after hearing their conversation, even ignoring how Feng Yuxiang addressed Yuan as 'Young Master'.

”Huh? What do you mean? I can't take treasures inside so I'll have to leave it out here obviously.” Yuan said.

”But Soul Weapons are unique… They must be within a certain distance from its Master— there's no way around it.”

”Eh? What happens if I am too far away from them?” Yuan then asked.

”I think it would be better if I showed it to you…” Feng Yuxiang said, and she continued, ”Can you hand me one of your Soul Weapons for a moment?”

Yuan nodded, and he retrieved the Starry Abyss from the spatial ring before handing it to Feng Yuxiang.

Once she had the Starry Abyss in her grasp, Feng Yuxiang suddenly took off into the sky and flew away, acting like a thief during a grab-and-run situation.

Feng Yuxiang's sudden movements attracted the attention of everybody there, including Senior Nie.

'Where's she going?' They all wondered.

However, Senior Nie was more interested in the Starry Abyss that was within her grasp.

”Is that… a Soul Weapon?” Senior Nie mumbled in a dumbfounded voice, as he didn't expect to find a Soul Weapon in the Lower Heavens.

In just a few minutes, Feng Yuxiang managed to fly almost a hundred miles away from the Mystic Realm, and right as she reached the 100th-mile mark, the Starry Abyss in her hand suddenly disappeared.

Meanwhile, at the Mystic Realm, Yuan was surprised when the Starry Abyss suddenly appeared before him like a ghost.

”How did…” Yuan was completely baffled by this phenomenon.

”Soul Weapons are bound to their owners. If they get too far away from their masters, they will immediately teleport back to them, almost as if they have a mind of their own.” Xiao Hua explained to him.

Feng Yuxiang returned sometime later.

”Do you understand now, Young Master? You won't be able to escape your Soul Weapons. However, I don't know how it'll work with the Mystic Realm.” Feng Yuxiang said to him.

A moment after Feng Yuxiang's words, Senior Nie's voice suddenly resounded, ”Soul Weapons are an exception and allowed inside the Mystic Realm since they are considered as 'part of the individual'. I didn't mention it at first because I didn't think there would be someone with a Soul Weapon here. Congratulations, young man— you're now a few hundred steps ahead of everyone else before you're even inside the Mystic Realm.”

”What?! He can bring a powerful treasure inside while the rest of us have to go inside empty-handed?! That's so unfair!”

The other participants immediately started complaining, feeling extremely envious of Yuan's Soul Weapon.

”I see… Then I will bring my Soul Weapons with me.” Yuan said.

”Huh? Soul Weapons…?” Long Yijun and the others raised their eyebrows.

”Y-You have more than one?” Elder Xuan asked him in a dazed voice.
