Section 183

He was very clear that his contemporaries were all difficult to deal with, but as long as he could possess a Divine Artifact, the position of Eastern Family Patriarch would almost certainly be his.

As soon as he thought of this, Oriental Le'an was so excited he was almost going mad.

Following a flash from the teleportation array, Oriental Le'an immediately entered the spatial rift and teleported out of the dimensional space.

...

Great Xia Empire.

Everything was as usual, without much change.

However, the arrival of an uninvited guest disturbed the peace of the Great Xia Empire.

Oriental Le'an flashed into the territory of the Great Xia Empire. At this time, he was not putting on airs like the first time he came.

When he hovered in the sky, he just gently waved his hand, and a terrifying oppressive aura immediately enveloped the entire Imperial Capital.

Everyone within the Imperial Capital, whether ordinary Martial Warrior or Martial Emperor level masters, found their breathing obstructed.

Before long, more than half the people had their faces flushed red.

Oriental Le'an looked down with cold eyes, appearing exceptionally overbearing.

"People of the Great Xia Empire Imperial Family, listen up! Quickly hand over Summer Bright's Divine Artifact, and I can let you off!"

"If you all claim ignorance, then don't blame me for uprooting and searching your entire Great Xia Empire." Oriental Le'an said coldly.

Summer AzureSun, Xia Haiwei, and Xia Feng leaped up, looking at the newcomer with grim expressions.

"Lord Martial God, what exactly is the Divine Artifact of Summer Bright that you mentioned?" Summer AzureSun carefully chose his words, then asked.

"Could it be that you don't know?" Oriental Le'an showed a mocking expression.

"You should be the Seventh Xia Emperor, Summer AzureSun, the oldest Martial Emperor in the entire Great Xia Empire." Oriental Le'an had done his homework on the Great Xia Empire before coming and roughly knew the current situation of the Great Xia Empire.

"Summer Bright lived for only ten thousand years, yet he could enter the Martial God Realm. Such talent would be considered a favored son of heaven even in the God Domain."

"Your Great Xia Empire has no resources and no geographical advantages, so how could it nurture such a talent?"

Oriental Le'an's eyes gradually turned cold: "If he didn't have a Divine Artifact assisting him, could Summer Skyfate have achieved this?"

These two consecutive questions directly stunned Summer AzureSun and the other previous Xia Emperors.

Everyone looked at each other, and their hearts couldn't help but pound.

Recalling Summer Skyfate's Heaven-Defying actions over the years, it did seem there was no reason that could explain them.

Could it be that Summer Skyfate really obtained a Divine Artifact?

Seeing everyone remain silent, Oriental Le'an showed a cold smile.

"That's right, isn't it? You yourselves should also know that if not for a Divine Artifact, Summer Skyfate absolutely could not have reached this point." Oriental Le'an said.

"May I ask this divine envoy from the God Domain, where is my Grandpa now? If there really is a Divine Artifact, why didn't he come back with you to get it?"

Xia Feng suddenly opened his mouth and asked.

He looked into Oriental Le'an's eyes, feeling a bit uneasy in his heart.

This sentence was equivalent to beating around the bush. Xia Feng just wanted to confirm his Grandpa's condition, whether he was safe or not.

"Your Grandpa?"

As soon as Summer Bright, that stubborn old immortal, was mentioned, Oriental Le'an got angry.

Chapter 225: Xia Feng's Danger

"He's already dead."

"His mouth was very stubborn, unwilling to reveal the whereabouts of the Divine Artifact, so I sent him to where he should go."

In an instant, everyone in the Great Xia Empire was stunned.

Summer AzureSun, Xia Haiwei, the previous Xia Emperors, as well as Xia Naiwu and Xia Feng...

Everyone's minds felt like they had been struck by lightning, completely unable to recover.

"Grandpa... is dead?"

Xia Feng lowered his head and couldn't help but murmur.

"Yes. If you know the whereabouts of the Divine Artifact, quickly take it out and offer it to this god. Otherwise, don't blame me for today's bloodbath in your Great Xia Empire."

Oriental Le'an was very overbearing, as if he truly considered himself a god, a ruler.

The entire Great Xia Empire was merely his toy, easily destroyed with a wave of his hand.

"There is no Divine Artifact..."

Xia Feng raised his head. His eyes were already red, and a mist of disbelief appeared in them.

"We don't have the Divine Artifact you're looking for here. You've come to the wrong place!"

"Still being stubborn with me?!"

Seeing Xia Feng's appearance, the flame in Oriental Le'an's heart flared up again. He raised his right hand, and terrifying wind blades condensed in his palm.

An aura of destruction emanated. This kind of attack far surpassed a Heaven Rank Ninth Level Martial Emperor; this was the power of a god.

"You're not willing to say it, are you? Since none of you are willing to say it, then don't blame me for being ruthless."

Oriental Le'an did not regard Xia Feng and the others as people at all. His eyes were devoid of emotion, as if looking at livestock.

"Xia Feng, is there really a Divine Artifact?! Quickly tell the Lord Divine Envoy!"

At the critical moment for the Empire's survival, Summer AzureSun also changed.

He gritted his teeth, then sharply questioned Xia Feng.

Not only him, but the other Xia Emperors also cast questioning gazes towards Xia Feng.

The survival of the Empire rested on Xia Feng alone!

Oriental Le'an's mouth curved upwards. He seemed to know who held the key.

Xia Feng felt everyone's gazes and couldn't help but clench his teeth tightly. He recalled the things Summer Bright had instructed him, as well as his parents who had lived with him in Xingyu City before.

"I told you, the Divine Artifact you're looking for isn't here!" Xia Feng said with red eyes, looking up and responding equally coldly.

"If you want to find a clumsy excuse to destroy the Great Xia Empire, this is simply too embarrassing!"

"Heh."

Oriental Le'an couldn't help but sneer: "Find an excuse? Do I, Oriental Le'an, need to find an excuse to destroy a mortal Empire?"

"Boring, truly boring. After I completely destroy your Great Xia Empire, I will personally come and find this Divine Artifact!"

The next second, Oriental Le'an suddenly waved his hand. The wind blade, condensed with countless storm energies, instantly became incomparably huge, then flew directly towards Xia Feng!

Everyone looked up at the wind blade, their faces filled with fear.

That was a power beyond human strength. None of the previous Xia Emperors present dared to receive it.

Xia Feng stood there, indifferently watching the wind blade attack him. Yet, he made no move, as if waiting for death.

This action of his immediately caused Oriental Le'an to narrow his eyes slightly. Just as the wind blade was about to touch Xia Feng, he moved his right hand and dissipated the wind blade.

"Are you really not afraid of death?" Oriental Le'an looked at Xia Feng with narrowed eyes.

"It's not that I'm not afraid of death, it's that I know you wouldn't dare kill me."

Seeing Oriental Le'an stop his actions, Xia Feng couldn't help but laugh.

It seemed he hadn't made a wrong move with this step.

When everyone thought Xia Feng knew the information, no matter how stupid Oriental Le'an was, he absolutely wouldn't easily kill him.

The so-called destroying the Great Xia Empire and finding it himself was complete nonsense.

The Great Xia Empire's territory was vast. Let alone one Martial God, even if ten more Martial Gods walked along this land for countless days and nights, it would likely be difficult to find a hidden Divine Artifact.

Otherwise, Summer Bright back then simply couldn't have found the Divine Artifact in the small space in Xingyu City.

Xia Feng also wouldn't have obtained the Purple Golden Cauldron in Burial God Valley.

If it were so simple for a Martial God to find a Divine Artifact, why would they stay in the God Domain to Cultivate?

They might as well all run out and search for Divine Artifacts!

"You're exactly like that Grandpa of yours." Oriental Le'an couldn't help but shake his head, covering his forehead.

But then, he raised his left hand again.

This time, he did not condense that terrifying wind blade.

Instead, above the entire Great Xia Empire, a giant palm suddenly appeared.

"It doesn't matter if you don't care about whether you live or die, but surely there are people you care about in this Imperial Capital, right?" Oriental Le'an was like a devil, grinning sinisterly, "I can destroy the entire Imperial Capital with one move, including all life within it."

"I'll ask you one last time, are you sure you don't know where Summer Bright's Divine Artifact is?"

The giant palm hung in the air, tightening everyone's hearts.

Xia Feng also couldn't help but swallow. He had completely unexpected that a dignified Huang Realm Martial God could actually do such a despicable thing.

"Choose to hand over the Divine Artifact, or the entire Imperial Capital will be buried with you." Oriental Le'an said coldly, "You only have three seconds."
