Section 93

Summer Bright frowned, and the strength in his hand increased again, making Meng Jiang's breathing extremely difficult.

He looked at Summer Bright resentfully, and used all his strength to shout with a hoarse throat.

"You kill me... Imperial Son will also kill you... A good-for-nothing is always a good-for-nothing. From the day your... Emperor Body was taken away, this outcome was destined..."

"Crack."

Summer Bright did not respond to him. He crushed Meng Jiang's throat and looked expressionlessly in the direction of the Imperial Palace's blood column.

"Little Feng, let's go, come into the Imperial Palace with me."

He clapped his hands, then said to Xia Feng.

Xia Feng nodded, he rose into the air and followed behind Summer Bright.

The two ignored the remaining twenty Martial Emperors and just went straight forward.

After this battle, the Lingxiao Pavilion Twenty-Four Martial Emperors were ultimately left with only these twenty people.

Their expressions varied, some regretful, some sighing, some neither sad nor happy.

The regretful ones lamented that when they destroyed the Dynasty back then, due to the Xia Family's ancestral teachings, they did not completely kill Summer Bright, which led to today's great disaster.

The sighing ones felt a sense of powerlessness when they saw their fellow Lingxiao Pavilion Martial Emperors being killed by Summer Bright like pigs and dogs, it was unavoidable to feel a sense of sorrow for their kind.

And those who were neither sad nor happy were the top five Dragon Generals of Lingxiao Pavilion.

Their Realms were all around Earth Rank Fifth Layer. For hundreds of thousands of years, they had only obeyed the previous Xia Emperors of the Imperial Dragon Hall.

Regarding the conflict between Summer Skyfate and Summer Skyfate's families, they, like those old monsters in the Imperial Dragon Hall, only maintained a wait-and-see attitude.

If their master did not express his stance, they would not help anyone.

From ancient times to the present, it had always been this way.

These twenty Martial Emperors watched Summer Bright and Xia Feng getting further and further away. They turned around and began to clean up the traces left by this great battle.

But the damage to buildings is easy to repair, the influence they and Summer Bright had caused is not so easy to settle.

Xia Naiwu's wish to quickly take down Summer Bright did not come true. At this time, most people in the Imperial Capital had already spread the news that Summer Bright had returned to contend for the throne again.

The Xia Emperor who governs the Great Xia Empire might change today.

This is a matter concerning the national destiny, and no subject of the Great Xia Empire can ignore it.

All the aristocratic families and ministers, upon receiving this news, rushed to the vast Imperial Palace of the Great Xia Empire at the first opportunity.

Besides the Imperial Dragon Hall of the previous Xia Emperors and the Imperial Son Pure Heart Hall, the Great Xia Imperial Palace also has hundreds of other halls with different uses.

Summer Skyfate did not go to look for Summer Skyfate. He floated in the air, taking Xia Feng with him, and with a tacit understanding with Summer Skyfate, they both arrived at the Emperor Dragon Platform directly in front of the Imperial Dragon Hall.

The Emperor Dragon Platform is a place in the Great Xia Empire where only the Xia Emperor is qualified to stand and review the vast army.

Every time there was a war or a major event to announce changes in national policy, the Xia Emperor would stand on this wide Emperor Dragon Platform, looking down at his subjects, either boosting morale or issuing decisions.

This place represents the Xia Emperor's supreme power and the majesty of the Great Xia Empire's royal family.

Except for the Xia Emperor and the Emperor Child, anyone who dares to set foot here will have their entire family executed, without the slightest leniency.

Xia Feng followed his Grandpa and landed on this wide Emperor Dragon Platform. Looking at the old man opposite him who bore a five or six-tenths resemblance to his Grandpa, he already knew his identity.

Summer Bright was wearing a black dragon robe and a ceremonial crown on his head. Every move he made exuded the Aura of an emperor who could shake the world.

And standing beside him was his son, Xia Naiwu, wearing a golden flood dragon robe, looking at Xia Feng and Summer Skyfate with resentment in his eyes.

"Summer Bright, I knew that someone like you couldn't die so easily."

Summer Bright narrowed his eyes slightly, he sized up Summer Skyfate in his green robe, and the young Xia Feng beside him.

When Summer Bright looked at Summer Bright, his emotions were also a little out of control, he gritted his teeth tightly, his eyes almost spitting fire.

Xia Feng quickly stepped forward, pulled Summer Bright's arm, and shook his head.

Summer Bright took several deep breaths before calming his emotions.

"Is this your grandson? Tsk tsk tsk, I can feel that he is only one step away from becoming a Martial Emperor, right?"

"So young, such monstrous talent, yet he will die prematurely because of you, this fool. It's truly a pity."

A hint of greed flashed in Summer Skyfate's eyes, a second Emperor Body.

If he could devour this second Emperor Body and drink his blood essence, he could even attempt to break through to the Heaven Rank Martial Emperor within a short period!

"Summer Skyfate, you used despicable means to seize my Emperor Body, and even sent people to destroy my Battle Heaven Dynasty when Father was in secluded death cultivation. You have forced me into a dead end time and time again, and even attacked my children and grandchildren while I was in seclusion. Today..."

Summer Bright took a deep breath, then a sharp light burst forth from his eyes.

"Is the time for me to come and reclaim everything from you!"

"Ridiculous. It was clearly you who went astray in your cultivation, crippled your Realm, and wanted to obtain the throne by ambushing me."

Summer Skyfate sneered, he looked at the subjects and nobles below the Imperial Dragon Platform, and loudly twisted the truth.

"Fortunately, Father was discerning and banished you to the North Province. He even gave you a large Dynasty."

"But what about you? You still refused to repent, colluding with the Nichao Empire in private, and plotting rebellion!"

"After I personally suppressed you with the twelve Martial Emperors of Lingxiao Pavilion, I didn't kill you, but exiled you to Xingyu City, hoping you could truly reflect."

"I didn't expect your obsession to be so deep, hiding your Realm and cultivating non-stop. As soon as you broke through to Earth Rank Martial Emperor, you impatiently came to me to re-contend for the throne."

"You have truly disappointed me, and Father, too."

Summer Bright put on a disappointed expression, he kept shaking his head as he looked at Summer Bright.

"Your heart is not righteous, you only think about your own interests, and you have no concern for the people of the world!"

"I tell you, I will absolutely not let someone like you govern the Empire and bring disaster to my Empire's people!"

Summer Skyfate extended his hands, looking resolute. His whole body seemed to radiate the light of a sage, appearing like an enlightened ruler of the world.

The subjects and nobles of the Empire below the Emperor Dragon Platform immediately understood. So this was the reason for this farce!

Chapter 114: The Crazy Summer Bright

They turned their heads to look at Summer Bright, their eyes filled with undisguised disgust and contempt.

Restrained by Summer Bright's identity as the Former Imperial Son, they did not dare to verbally abuse him.

But these people undoubtedly cursed him in their hearts. Someone who would abandon the people of the world for power, what else could such a person be but a disaster?!

"Xia Emperor is wise!"

"Xia Emperor is the most enlightened ruler of this era, we swear to follow you to the death!"

...

The vast majority of subjects who did not know the truth knelt on the ground, bowed their heads, clasped their fists, and roared, expressing their loyalty.

Seeing this, Summer Bright couldn't help but smile triumphantly. He turned around and looked at Summer Skyfate, the meaning in his eyes self-evident.

Summer Skyfate looked at Summer Skyfate's shameless appearance and fell silent.

He had never imagined that Summer Skyfate could be so shameless.

In the past, he was engrossed in cultivation and didn't know what this half-brother of his was thinking.

After so many years, he thought he had some understanding of Summer Skyfate. Seeing him turn the tables and twist the truth without any shame today truly left him speechless.

"Do you really... have no sense of propriety or shame at all?"

Summer Bright finally spoke. His voice was not loud, but it was enough for Summer Skyfate to hear.

"Propriety and shame? Is that thing useful? Can it help me sit firmly on the throne of Xia Emperor, or make you obediently die?"

Summer Skyfate sneered, also speaking in a voice only Summer Bright could hear.

"Summer Bright, you are truly too foolish. This world is about the survival of the fittest. Do you know what your way of thinking looks like in my eyes?"

"It's so disgusting it makes me want to vomit."

"You were just lucky enough to possess the Heavenly Emperor Body with the Great Xia Bloodline. From then on, your cultivation path had no obstacles, and you were groomed to be the Xia Emperor from a young age."

"But what about me? I don't have the Heavenly Emperor Body. My cultivation speed is less than one-tenth of yours. When you became a Martial Emperor, I was still just a small Profound Rank Martial Saint."

"Why? I ask you why? I'm better than you in both civil and military strategies. Just because you were lucky enough to possess the Heavenly Emperor Body that everyone envies, I can only be your foil?"

"Do you know, every time I saw you tell Father that your ambition lay in the Peak of the martial path and you didn't want to govern the Empire and become the Xia Emperor, I really wanted to vomit!"

Summer Skyfate became more and more agitated. He stood with his back to the crowd, his face twisted and ferocious.

"Do you know what I was thinking?" He gritted his teeth, staring fixedly at Summer Bright, "Someone like you, a good-for-nothing who was lucky from childhood, are you worthy?"

"The position of Xia Emperor will absolutely not be held by someone like you."

"Since Father doesn't agree, I'll just have to find a way myself. And it's fortunate that you're stupid. I said Father injured his foundation while in secluded cultivation, and you actually foolishly came alone."

Summer Skyfate sneered, he took a step forward, and suddenly erupted with the Aura of an Earth Rank Martial Emperor Seventh Layer, making the crowd excited and cheering.

"Forget it, talking to you about this is meaningless. It's good that you came. I have fantasized about killing you countless times, but I haven't sat firmly on the throne of Xia Emperor yet, and I didn't dare to offend those old fellows."

"But you delivered yourself to my doorstep, and on this Emperor Dragon Platform for re-contending for the Xia Emperor position. This is great... Now I can wantonly abuse and kill you in front of everyone in the world. I can finally tear you apart with my own hands, hahahahahahaha!"

A black light surged from Summer Skyfate's hands, and two halberds appeared.

His body shook, and the outer imperial robe fell off. Xia Naiwu took it and carefully put it aside.
