Section 86

"Crack."

A strange sound suddenly appeared. Among the twenty-four tokens, the seventeenth fiery red token from left to right suddenly exploded.

Subsequently, in the Imperial Capital, twenty-three terrifying gazes were cast towards the top floor of the Lingxiao Pavilion in unison.

"Is that... General Liao Changfei?"

"He's dead? Who did it? Could it be an invasion by the East Sea foreign races?"

"You've been in seclusion for too long. General Liao Changfei went to the Northwest Corner before. Do you think the East Sea foreign races can invade there?"

"Northwest Corner? That was the former Emperor Child, Summer Bright..."

"Shut up! That's the Reverse Blood lineage! Don't mention 'former Emperor Child' anymore!"

"Alright, Old Ninth, don't be so loud. Let's all discuss. Combining the recent rumors, could it be that Summer Bright's grandson can even kill a Martial Emperor?"

"Ridiculous! Do you even believe what you just said?"

"It's been so many years. Could there be a trick by the Reverse Blood lineage? Did Summer Bright leave a hidden hand?"

"Leave a hidden hand? With just him? I personally watched the Imperial Son cripple his Dantian, turning him into a cripple. What kind of hidden hand could he have to kill a Yellow Tier Ninth Level Martial Emperor like General Liao Changfei?"

"Alright, stop arguing first."

While everyone was arguing incessantly, a low voice suddenly sounded. As soon as he spoke, the others immediately fell silent.

"General Liao Changfei is dead. With such a major event happening, I believe news will arrive soon."

"Before that, everyone should continue doing what they were doing. Regardless of whether it was a method left by Summer Bright that killed General Liao Changfei, General Liao Changfei is already dead. Speculating here is meaningless."

"Don't forget your identities. Regardless of whether it's the Reverse Blood lineage, don't forget that they are surnamed Xia after all, and you are just outsiders."

Subsequently, silence.

After three breaths.

"Respectfully following the Great Dragon General's instruction."

The other twenty-two Martial Emperors in the Lingxiao Pavilion immediately cupped their fists towards that figure, making a respectful sound.

Chapter 105: Emperor Falls, Heaven and Earth Change Color

In the Imperial Dragon Hall, from the depths of the ancient room, a faint sigh was heard.

"Have you sensed it? One of our Empire's Martial Emperors has fallen."

"Mm..." another aged voice responded.

"In the Northwest Corner, Summer Bright's spatial fluctuation has appeared again. It seems this lineage has not been extinguished."

"Has he become a Martial Emperor again? He truly is the most outstanding Emperor Child."

"Back then, we were all in seclusion and didn't expect Summer Bright to do such a thing."

"It's not strange that the East Sea made that decision after weighing the pros and cons, but I didn't expect so many variables."

"Send someone to investigate how many things have happened regarding the Summer Skyfate lineage during the time we were sleeping."

"As ordered."

Outside the dimly lit room, the servant, who had always kept his head down, slowly bowed in agreement.

Although he was a servant, the fluctuation of spiritual energy on his body actually reached the terrifying Realm of Earth Rank Fifth Level Martial Emperor.

Except for the most important core members of the Imperial royal family, no one would know the location of this place.

Because here, the old monsters who had not governed the Empire for many years were sleeping.

...

The Northwest Corner of the Empire, of course, also had informants from the major forces of the Empire.

General Liao Changfei's death caused a shock and chaos in the world's spiritual energy. Many people had never seen such a terrifying sight in their lives.

Emperor fell, the sky changed color.

The blood-red sky near Xingyu City lasted for three full days, and the nine fire-attribute Great Daos that General Liao Changfei had mastered were also released.

During this period, Martial Warriors who cultivated fire-attribute rules could clearly feel their strength growth rate accelerate.

And this anomaly quickly spread in ripples from the Northwest Corner all the way to the Imperial Capital.

When the current Emperor Child, Xia Naiwu, heard about General Liao Changfei's death and Summer Bright's reappearance as a Martial Emperor, his entire mind was in a daze.

Sending out General Liao Changfei, he originally thought this was a sure thing, and then he only needed to wait for the news of Xia Feng and others' deaths.

But he didn't expect things to develop to this extent.

"He's actually still alive, and he's broken through to Martial Emperor again? This is impossible! Father personally destroyed his Realm, how could he have broken through again in such a short time!"

Xia Naiwu was furious in the Emperor Child's palace. He frantically smashed everything he could see, his eyes bloodshot, making people dare not look directly at him.

The few servants and beauties serving in the Emperor Child's palace also trembled and prostrated on the ground, not daring to make any sound.

But even so, Xia Naiwu didn't intend to let them go. In his rage, he desperately needed anything to vent his anger.

He looked at these people fiercely, then his hands grasped at them in the air.

"Pfft!"

Countless blood flowers burst open. These servants didn't even have time to make a sound before being crushed alive by Xia Naiwu.

"No, I didn't expect this Summer Bright lineage to ultimately become a great disaster. Should I inform Father?"

Half an hour later, Xia Naiwu, whose emotions had slightly recovered, paced back and forth in the Emperor Child's palace, unable to make up his mind.

The current Xia Emperor was in death seclusion. If he rashly went to knock on the door, not to mention whether he would disturb Father's crucial cultivation moment.

The name of a useless person who achieved nothing would also be directly placed on his head. The Xia Emperor would definitely be very disappointed in him.

"How many usable Martial Emperors are there left in my Emperor Child lineage?"

Xia Naiwu's eyes suddenly turned sharp. He turned his head and asked the shadow on the beam with a chilling tone.

Upon hearing this, the shadow immediately flashed and prostrated before Xia Naiwu, bowing humbly and saying, "Reporting to Imperial Son, there are five Martial Emperors belonging to the Emperor Child lineage in the Lingxiao Pavilion. General Liao Changfei is dead, leaving four people. There are also seven others who have not yet submitted but are inclined towards the Emperor Child lineage."

"Excluding General Liao Changfei, there are still eleven usable ones?"

Xia Naiwu gritted his teeth, his eyes flashing with calculation, then he said with a determined look.

"Since we could cripple him once twenty years ago, we can naturally cripple him again twenty years later!"

"You go and negotiate terms with those seven people. What do they want from the Emperor Child lineage in exchange for taking action this time!"

"Whether it's treasures or status, as long as it's within my controllable authority, I can give it to them!"

"As ordered."

The shadow bowed. He dared not offer any suggestions. The furious Xia Naiwu would not listen to any persuasion.

He was just a dark sentinel and death servant skilled in hiding in the darkness, only needing to follow the Emperor Child's orders.

Therefore, the shadow disappeared into space again, speeding towards the Lingxiao Pavilion.

The shadow's speed was fast, but Summer Bright's speed in taking Xia Feng to the Imperial Capital was even faster.

They set off on the road the day after killing General Liao Changfei.

It can be said that when the news of General Liao Changfei being killed by Summer Bright reached the Imperial Capital, Summer Bright and Xia Feng also arrived in Luoyang City almost at the same time.

Luoyang City, as the center of the Great Xia Empire, covered an immeasurable area and was the center of countless business trade and politics.

Here, Martial Emperor powerhouses were no longer terrifying existences that made people tremble as they were in other places.

They all kept a low profile in their actions, fearing that they might offend some Lord.

Even Martial Saints were quite polite and did not casually get into conflicts with others.

After all, no one knew if the person you had a conflict with was a relative of the Emperor, or had a terrifying background with some big shot behind them.

Xia Feng and Summer Bright were currently eating noodles at a noodle shop on the central commercial street of the Imperial Capital.

The noodle shop was quite luxuriously decorated. Not to mention the opulent interior, even the greeters outside were Xuan Realm Martial Saint powerhouses.

Those who could sit here were people of extraordinary status in the Imperial Capital. Ordinary people could only watch from afar and dared not approach a single step.

Summer Bright took Xia Feng to a window seat in the noodle shop, threw down two mid-grade Dragon Crystals, and ordered two bowls of noodles.

Two mid-grade Dragon Crystals, if it weren't the Imperial Capital, could buy a comfortable small courtyard.

But here, they could only exchange for two bowls of noodles.

"How is it? This Old Wang Yidao shop has a history of several thousand years. Grandpa has been eating here since he was a child. I didn't expect the taste to remain unchanged after so many years," Summer Bright said with a smile.

Xia Feng took a sip of the noodle soup stewed with a flood dragon and shook his head, saying, "The taste is quite good, but the price is too expensive. Two mid-grade Dragon Crystals."

"You kid." Summer Bright immediately found it funny and frustrating upon hearing this.

He was born the Emperor Child of the Great Xia Empire and had never worried about money.

But Xia Feng was different. He grew up in Xingyu City, and the Dragon Crystals on him were obtained by destroying those Holy Lands. They were active income, earned through labor.

Therefore, Xia Feng naturally felt a bit of heartache.

When he said this, Summer Bright realized that he was spending his grandson's money, and his old face immediately stiffened a bit.
