Section 48

Cold, desolate, lonely.

With the departure of the Ten Girls, Xia Feng felt as if something was missing in his heart, an unspeakable pain blooming within him.

Images of the Ten Girls caring for him during these days kept flashing in his mind. He gritted his teeth tightly, his breathing heavy.

"Damn it!"

Xia Feng slammed his fist violently on the ground. At this moment, he hated his weakness, hated his strength!

If he had the Realm of a Martial Saint, what happened today wouldn't have occurred, and Yu Siya and the others wouldn't have been taken away like this!

"Son..."

As Xia Feng angrily punched the ground, Xia's parents walked over.

"Father, Mother." Xia Feng knew he couldn't act this way in front of his parents. He quickly wiped away his tears and then stood up.

"I'm fine, don't worry."

"I know they are the daughters-in-law you've recognized. I will work hard, I promise I will bring them back from the Holy Land, not one less!"

"We believe in you, son." Xia Father and Xia Mother nodded in tacit understanding.

They knew Xia Feng's character; he always kept his word. Once he set a goal, even if there were mountains of knives and seas of fire ahead, he would still charge through!

However, their expressions were troubled.

"Son, I have something to tell you."

Xia Father walked up to Xia Feng and sighed heavily.

"Originally, your Mother and I thought we could live a quiet life, but we didn't expect that they still don't seem to plan on letting us go..."

"They? Father, Mother, what are you talking about?" Xia Feng's expression suddenly became serious. He could feel that the two people in front of him seemed to have aged ten years since the Ten Superb Holy Land Holy Masters arrived.

"Ominous... Hehe, since they said our son is tainted with ominousness..." Xia Father laughed sadly.

"That's right, they couldn't possibly let us go. The arrival of the Ten Superb Holy Land Holy Masters this time is probably also because of this matter." Xia Mother also sighed.

"No, Father, Mother, what exactly are you talking about?" Xia Feng was truly bewildered. What had his parents hidden from him? He couldn't understand a single word they were saying.

"Son, listen carefully. Didn't you ask us before if our family had some mysterious background?"

Xia Father took a deep breath, then nodded heavily: "That's right, you guessed correctly. In fact, your original identity should have been the next successor of this Great Xia Empire!"

What, Empire successor?

Xia Feng's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief.

What was Old Dad saying? He was originally destined to be an emperor?

If he hadn't had the wedding banquet with the Ten Great Saintesses, he would have suspected that his Old Dad had drunk too much!

"Don't rush, listen to me explain slowly..."

Xia Father patted Xia Feng's shoulder, then sat down under the city wall and began to tell him about Xia Feng's true background.

Originally, Xia Feng's Grandpa, Summer Bright, was the previous Emperor Child of the Great Xia Empire.

And an Emperor Child was often a super Prodigy with an Heavenly Emperor Body.

The next Xia Emperor was within his grasp.

However, Summer Bright was devoted to cultivation and had no interest in participating in court politics or controlling political power.

So Xia Feng's great-grandfather, who was also Summer Bright's Old Dad and the previous Xia Emperor of the Great Xia Empire, after much deliberation, finally appointed Summer Eastsea as the new Xia Emperor.

Summer Eastsea was Summer Bright's half-brother, only three years younger than him.

Summer Bright didn't care about this decision; his heart was not in the court, and he only wished to be engrossed in the world of cultivation.

However, while the previous Xia Emperor was in seclusion, the gloomy-natured Summer Eastsea secretly summoned ten Heaven Realm Martial Saints and, under the pretense of discussing state affairs, lured Summer Bright into the imperial palace.

After Summer Eastsea made his move, Summer Bright, with his superb strength, fought one against ten and forcefully killed eight Heaven Realm Martial Saints.

But in the end, he was outnumbered, and his entire cultivation was sealed.

After that, Summer Eastsea even used an extremely evil forbidden technique to forcibly strip Summer Bright of his Heaven Realm Emperor Body!

It is said that on that day in the imperial palace, Summer Bright's screams lasted for three days and three nights, like the wailing of evil spirits. Hearing this sound, no one in the vast imperial palace dared to sleep.

When the previous Xia Emperor came out of seclusion, he settled this matter.

Contrary to everyone's imagination, there was no punishment for Summer Eastsea. With an Heavenly Emperor Body, Summer Eastsea, and Summer Bright, whose cultivation had dropped significantly and whose path of cultivation had collapsed.

The previous Emperor Child quickly made a choice. He did not impose any punishment on the current Xia Emperor.

He merely bestowed the highest noble title and the highest honor, the title of Battle Heaven Emperor, upon Summer Bright as a form of consolation.

After that, he exiled Summer Bright's entire clan to the North Border Eastern State, allowing him to establish the Battle Heaven Dynasty and appointing him as the Emperor of the Battle Heaven Dynasty.

However, the peaceful days did not last long.

Ten years later, the previous Xia Emperor went into seclusion again, and the gaze of the current Xia Emperor, Summer Eastsea, instantly fell upon the Battle Heaven Dynasty.

Summer Eastsea was ruthless and understood the importance of cutting the roots.

So, while the previous Xia Emperor was in seclusion, he used the charge of the Battle Heaven Emperor colluding with the Nichao Empire to rebel and dispatched the Empire's Ten Great Generals to annihilate the Battle Heaven Dynasty!

Chapter 54: My Grandpa Is Actually the Previous Generation's Emperor Child?

"Your Grandpa's last bit of cultivation was also completely abolished by him, reducing him to an ordinary person who couldn't even pick up a knife."

As soon as he said this, Xia Father couldn't help but choke up, his whole body trembling uncontrollably.

"With the Dynasty destroyed, we had nowhere to go. He drove us like pigs and dogs, exiling us to Xingyu City, the most remote place in the Eastern State."

Your Grandpa was the city lord for only three years, but he was depressed every day.

Severely injured, he had already given up all hope and had no desire to live.

"Counting the time, today must be the twenty-fifth year since your Grandpa passed away."

"Before, there were still spies he sent to monitor Xingyu City, but since your Grandpa left, those spies have also disappeared."

"You used to ask me if our family had any special background." Xia Feng smiled bitterly, "Yes, we do, but it's not a good thing for you."

"Originally, your Mother and I didn't plan to tell you. We just hoped you could grow up safe and sound, have a happy family, and live a carefree life."

"It's just... many things still happen beyond expectations." Xia Feng held his forehead and murmured.

After hearing all this, Xia Feng instantly fell silent.

The information his Old Dad had given him was a bit overwhelming, making it difficult for him to accept for a while.

So he was the grandson of the previous generation's Heavenly Emperor Body of the Great Xia Empire?

So his Grandpa and the current Xia Emperor of the Great Xia Empire had such a deep-seated hatred.

"Old Dad, is the arrival of the Ten Superb Holy Land Holy Masters this time also related to this matter?"

Xia Feng seemed to have thought of something and suddenly looked up and asked.

"Also, they said I was tainted with ominousness..." Xia Feng recalled the Life Holy Land Holy Master Song Qianqian's cold words.

And what Li Xiaoqing said to him before she left.

"Let's survive this calamity first."

"It should be, otherwise they wouldn't have all ten come together." Xia Father took a deep breath, his eyes flickering.

"Son, if nothing unexpected happens, the current Xia Emperor should have set his sights on you again."

Xia Father's tone became serious: "The matter between you and the Ten Superb Holy Land Holy Maidens is spreading like wildfire outside. It's fine if there's no news usually; he shouldn't be focusing his attention on us."

"But you, as Summer Bright's grandson, are favored by the Ten Superb Holy Land Holy Maidens..."

"It's like a shooting star that suddenly appeared, shining so brightly that some people can't take their eyes off it."

"It must be... it must be!"

The more Xia Father thought about it, the tighter he clenched his teeth, and his breathing also became rapid.

This makes it easy to understand why the Ten Superb Holy Masters were so eager to take their Holy Maidens away.

They were simply afraid of getting involved with Xia Feng and thus incurring the wrath of the Great Xia Empire!

Although the Ten Superb Holy Lands are very detached and stand aloof from the world.

They are still under the jurisdiction of the Great Xia Empire after all!

The highest combat power of the entire Great Xia Empire is the terrifying and boundless Martial Emperor expert!

When a Martial Emperor is angry, corpses lie scattered for miles, and blood flows into rivers!

"Son, it's all Mother's fault, Mother was negligent. I should have thought of this at the time and been firm in rejecting them for you, so the news wouldn't have reached the imperial family."

Xia Mother also wept tears of sorrow. She hugged Xia Feng tightly, unable to stop crying.

Being targeted by the current Xia Emperor of the Great Xia Empire, even the previous Emperor Child Summer Bright met a tragic end, dying miserably in a desolate land.

What would Xia Feng's future be like? She couldn't even bear to think about it!

"Father, Mother, don't be afraid."

Xia Feng stood up. He looked at the two of them and smiled gently.
