Section 112

Xia Feng instantly felt a chill in his heart; he probably knew what his Grandpa was thinking.

"No, Grandpa, I am still young and lack talent and knowledge. I cannot manage such a vast Empire at all."

"I absolutely cannot take on the position of Xia Emperor. After all, you have lived for several thousand years and were the Emperor Child for so long before, you are most familiar with the Empire's system."

"You have to eat one bite at a time, and I can't become a fat person in one go. This position is still most suitable for you."

After saying this, Xia Feng could clearly see Summer Bright's expression become extremely resentful.

He turned his head to look at the ministers behind him, his face showing a bitter expression.

Don't look at him coming here this time to seize the position of Xia Emperor; his main goal was actually to defeat Summer Skyfate and take back what he had lost.

The Xia Emperor was just something that came with it.

Several thousand years ago, Summer Bright had already expressed his lack of interest in the position of Xia Emperor.

Otherwise, Summer Eastsea would not have chosen Summer Skyfate after Summer Skyfate won by underhanded means.

Xia Feng knew what his Grandpa was thinking; he was completely the type of cultivation fanatic who put martial arts first.

previous Xia Emperors, after a period of time, were unwilling to serve as Xia Emperor. After passing down the imperial position, they immediately began cultivating in the Imperial Dragon Hall.

Everyone had the same goal: to break through to Martial God.

The Xia Emperor had to manage the Empire's court affairs every day, leaving very little time for cultivation, making it impossible to improve strength.

Summer Bright was also a cultivation fanatic, so of course, he was unwilling to waste time on the boring matter of governing the Empire.

But now, the only ones in the Xia Family who could take on the responsibility were him and Xia Feng.

Xia Naiwen's Realm was too low; he couldn't take the position if he wasn't a Martial Emperor.

Therefore, he had the idea of letting Xia Feng replace the Xia Emperor to gain his freedom.

Unfortunately, Xia Feng was also a very shrewd person and saw through Summer Bright's little scheme at a glance.

"Ah... let's forget it." Summer Bright waved his hand helplessly. He scratched the back of his head, then turned around and walked towards the ministers.

As he walked, he muttered, "I really don't understand what's so interesting about this broken Xia Emperor position. Why do so many people want to be it..."

...

Three days later.

The new Emperor of Great Xia Empire ascended the throne.

In these three days, one imperial decree after another was issued from within the Empire, spreading to all parts of the Great Xia Empire.

Xia Naiwen and Huang Xiaoqian were also ecstatic upon receiving this news.

They held a banquet in Xingyu City, inviting the various great families to celebrate for three full days.

Afterwards, the two arranged for the Xia Family guards to distribute all the treasures and resources Xia Feng had plundered from the Holy Land to the residents of Xingyu City.

At this time, Xingyu City was no longer what it used to be. Not only had it nurtured a lower-tier dragon vein, but a large number of Saint-level Martial Skills were also distributed by the City Lord's Mansion.

For a time, the residents of Xingyu City continuously broke through, with the strongest even close to entering the Martial Emperor Realm.

The residents of Xingyu City were also quite proud at this moment. They were once Summer Skyfate's subjects, a group of people personally managed by the current Xia Emperor!

How glorious it was to say that they were relatives and subjects of the Xia Emperor!

After the celebration in Xingyu City, Xia Naiwen and Huang Xiaoqian, accompanied by a group of Xia Family guards and escorted by Lingxiao Pavilion Martial Emperor, Fifth Flying General Yan Mobai, headed towards the Imperial Capital.

After Summer Bright died, Summer Bright carried out a major purge of the forces he had left behind.

The ministers and Generals in the court who supported him were one by one rooted out by Summer Bright.

Four of the Lingxiao Pavilion Twenty-Four Martial Emperors died, all of whom were Martial Emperors belonging to the Emperor Child lineage. The remaining twenty Martial Emperors originally had no factional leanings; they only obeyed the commands of the Xia Emperor.

Fifth Dragon General Yan Mobai was an Earth Rank Seventh Layer Martial Emperor. Since Summer Bright was the Emperor Child, he had always been an admirer of Summer Bright.

He was also a martial arts fanatic, most appreciating Summer Bright's bold and decisive, dare-to-fight and dare-to-kill temperament.

On the battlefield, he had always followed behind Summer Bright, serving as his deputy, clearing obstacles for him.

Therefore, when Summer Bright became a Martial Emperor, he naturally became the Lingxiao Pavilion Martial Emperor most trusted by Summer Bright.

Xia Feng wasn't idle either. Having obtained the position of Emperor Child, and with his Grandpa becoming the Xia Emperor, the once unattainable Top-Grade Saint Realm was now nothing special.

On the second day of his tenure as Emperor Child, he summoned the Lingxiao Pavilion Ten Great Martial Emperors.

These Ten Great Martial Emperors, excluding Yan Mobai, were precisely those Martial Emperors who had not attacked Summer Bright before.

As for those Martial Emperors who had attacked Summer Bright, they were in constant fear, afraid of retaliation.

But when Summer Bright carried out the purge, he did not deal with them. After all, Martial Emperors were hard to come by.

The Great Xia Empire still needed these Martial Emperors to lead troops in the war against the Nichao Empire.

The Lingxiao Pavilion Ten Great Martial Emperors, nine Dragon Generals and one Flying General, clasped their fists towards Xia Feng and knelt on one knee.

"Greetings, Emperor Child!"

Their voices were like a great bell. Xia Feng stood inside Qingxin Hall, looking down at the ten of them.

"I have a task to entrust to you. Can you accomplish it?"

"Emperor Child, please command. We will not refuse!"

The Ten Great Martial Emperors said in unison.

Looking at the most powerful force of the Great Xia Empire before him, Xia Feng smiled.

A Profound Rank Martial Emperor could easily crush ten Top-Grade Saint Realms.

Don't look at how loudly the name of the Ten Supreme Holy Lands is shouted outside; compared to the Empire's true terrifying foundation, Top-Grade Saint Realms are simply not worth mentioning.

A strongest person with only Half-Emperor strength is like a naive child in front of a Martial Emperor.

"The ten of you will each go to the Ten Supreme Holy Lands. Within ten days, I want to see the Ten Great Saint Land Lords kneeling before me."

Xia Feng looked at the ten people and smiled calmly.

"Can you do it?"

The Ten Great Saint Land Lords?

The Ten Great Martial Emperors exchanged glances and roughly understood what was happening.

They all knew about the matter concerning Xia Feng and the Ten Great Saintesses, but they didn't expect Xia Feng would actually ask them to capture the Ten Great Saint Land Lords.

As for the reason, the Lingxiao Pavilion Ten Great Martial Emperors didn't think about it too much. Since Xia Feng ordered them to bring back ten people, they would just do it.

The Ten Great Saint Land Lords?

In the eyes of outsiders, they were terrifying and unattainable existences, but in their eyes, they were just a group of ants.

"As you command!"

The Ten Great Martial Emperors clasped their fists, then left Qingxin Hall and soared into the air.

In the sky above, ten terrifying meteors rapidly flew towards various parts of the Great Xia Empire, their momentum overwhelming.

This action immediately caused countless people to speculate that after the new Emperor ascended the throne, he immediately sent out the Ten Great Martial Emperors. Someone in the Great Xia Empire was likely going to suffer.

Xia Feng looked up at the ten meteors in the sky. The scenes of being oppressed by the Ten Great Saint Land Lords in Xingyu City in the past immediately surfaced, vivid in his memory.

Chapter 139: The Panicked Ten Great Saint Land Lords

Ten Supreme Holy Land.

Five in the Northern Region and five in the Southern Border.

This was the most powerful civilian force besides the Great Xia Empire.

Countless cultivators were proud to enter the Top-Grade Saint Realm. As long as one could become a member of a Holy Land, they would truly be a dragon among men with limitless prospects.

But just today, the situation changed somewhat.

Above the Extreme Ice Holy Land.

Terrifying cumulonimbus clouds brewed in the sky. A domineering and peerless figure stood high above, looking down at the Holy Land members below as if they were ants.

The Holy Master, Lord Vice Holy Master, and several Elders and Guest Elders of the Extreme Ice Holy Land all soared into the air and clasped their fists towards the man before them with extreme respect.

"Extreme Ice Holy Land did not know General Mingyu had come from afar. Please forgive our inadequate reception..."

Fang Moli, the Holy Master of Extreme Ice Holy Land, looked at the figure in the sky with fear and trepidation. Where was his previous domineering appearance of being awe-inspiring without anger?

"You, come with me."

General Mingyu glanced at him indifferently, then spoke.

"Me?" Fang Moli pointed to himself, somewhat taken aback.

"Yes, depart immediately now and return to the Imperial Capital with me." General Mingyu frowned slightly. He was too lazy to waste time with these ants and spoke quite impolitely.

"Don't make me say it a second time."

"This... alright." Fang Moli's expression was somewhat grim. He sighed, then turned his head and said to the other Heaven Rank Ninth Layer Martial Saint high-level members of Extreme Ice Holy Land.

"This time I will go with General Mingyu. If anything happens to me, this Extreme Ice Holy Land will depend on you."

"Holy Master, you mustn't go!" The Lord Vice Holy Master gritted his teeth, trying his best to suppress his emotions, and said, "Back then, you domineeringly took Wanzhi away. Now that he has become the Emperor Child, going to the Imperial Capital will likely be going to your death!"
