Xia Tianming patted Xia Feng on the shoulder, then stood up and spoke words that were like a clap of thunder.

"Xiao Feng, pack your things and come with me to the Imperial Capital in a while!"

Imperial Capital?

A massive wave surged in Xia Feng's heart, as if he had misheard, he looked up at Xia Tianming.

"Father, you're going to the Imperial Capital and taking Xiao Feng with you? Could it be that you..."

Xia Naiwen quickly walked in front of Xia Tianming upon hearing this and said through gritted teeth.

"Although the ancestral teachings have rules, so many years have passed in the Imperial Capital, and those who supported you before may have already turned. Father, taking Xiao Feng there now could be like walking into the tiger's den."

"I wouldn't be surprised if he could buy off those unreliable martial sovereigns, but can he also buy off all the previous Emperors Xia?"

Xia Tianming, with eyes deep and distant, gazed toward the direction of the Imperial Capital and said, "I never competed or fought, always treated him as my brother, giving him any cultivation resources I could. But how did he treat me?"

"He stripped me of my emperor body, destroyed my dynasty, drove me to Xingyu, and sent people to watch over me until I died."

"My non-competition led to this result, so why should we be polite anymore?"

"But..." Xia Naiwen frowned, obviously still a bit worried.

"It's alright." Xia Tianming waved his hand at him, "Before, I planned to act when I reached the Celestial Tier Martial Sovereign. Now with Xiao Feng's help, I've advanced to the Earth Tier Martial Sovereign, qualified to contend with him."

"The news of Liao Changfei's death in Xingyu City will soon leak. Instead of waiting for others to find us, we might as well approach them proactively."

"Understood, Father."

Xia Naiwen pondered for a while, then gradually his eyes became determined, and he nodded, "You're right, they sent the Masters of the Ten Great Sacred Lands last time, and this time they sent Martial Sovereign Liao Changfei. They simply left us no way out. It's indeed not a solution to keep hiding, I was shortsighted."

"No worries." Xia Tianming waved his hand, then looked at Xia Feng.

"I'll start packing right away, Grandpa, please wait for an hour."

Xia Feng decisively nodded, then turned around and went to his room.

An hour later.

After nurturing the Qingxue Sword to the Top Grade Sacred Weapon level and refining a large batch of Elixirs, Xia Feng brought with him everything that might be useful this time, and then he walked to the gate of Xingyu City.

Xia Tianming was already waiting at the gate, and beside him, Huang Xiaoqian was wiping tears with her handkerchief non-stop.

When she saw Xia Feng coming, she took three steps into two, tightly holding Xia Feng's hand, very reluctant.

"Son, this is your first time traveling far away. You must be careful outside, the Imperial Capital is full of hidden dangers, anything could happen."

"Your mother and father are not very competent, since your grandfather left, we haven't given you a good future, only hoping you grow up safe and happy, marrying a girl you love, who loves you in return."

"But I didn't expect so many things to happen afterwards, now your grandfather is back... He will take you to see a broader world and reclaim what is rightfully yours in the Great Xia Empire."

"Be careful in everything, your mother will always be waiting for you in Xingyu City."

Xia Feng looked up, seeing Huang Xiaoqian's tearful and reluctant face, he couldn't help but feel a sourness in his heart.

Xia Feng stepped forward, tightly hugging the woman who loved him most in the world.

"I will, mother. Wait for my return."

After saying this, Xia Feng took a deep breath, turned, and walked to Xia Tianming's side.

"Xiao Feng, you are your father's pride. This time going to the Imperial Capital with your grandfather, you must turn the world upside down!" Xia Naiwen patted Xia Feng on the shoulder, though reluctant, he still supported Xia Feng and Xia Tianming's decision to go to the Imperial Capital to fight.

"Don't worry, no matter what happens, I will definitely bring Xiao Feng back safely." Xia Tianming looked at his son and daughter-in-law, also unable to help but sigh.

Parents are always like this, reluctant to let their children go, not wanting them to get hurt.

But eventually, children grow up, becoming eagles soaring independently in the sky, facing unknown risks, and gradually growing amid challenges.

Xia Tianming took Xia Feng by the hand, "Let's go."

"Mm." Xia Feng nodded.

Then, a blue-green and purple stream of light rose from Xingyu City, speeding toward the Imperial Capital.

Xia Feng knew he couldn't stay in Xingyu City forever, he wanted many things, so he would eventually leave this city.

The Ten Top Grade Sacred Land Saintesses, he promised them, he would personally one day go to the Sacred Land to propose, marry them all properly!

So this time going to the Imperial Capital, he must leave.

...

In the Great Xia Empire, the Imperial Capital.

Top floor of Lingxiao Pavilion.

On a central rack decorated with deep crystals, lay twenty-four spiritual tablets made from Top Grade Dragon Crystal.

"Crack."

A sudden strange sound appeared, and among the twenty-four tablets, the seventeenth fiery red one from the left suddenly shattered.

Afterward, in the Imperial Capital, twenty-three terrifying gazes simultaneously projected towards the top floor of Lingxiao Pavilion.

"Is that... Liao Changfei?"

"He's dead? Who did it? Could it be the Eastern Sea Alien Race invaded?"

"You've been in seclusion too long, Liao Changfei went to the northwest before, do you think the Eastern Sea Alien Race could invade there?"

"Northwest? That's the former Emperor's son, Xia Tianming..."

"Shut up, that's the Reversed Blood Lineage, don't mention the former Emperor's son again!"

"Alright, Old Ninth, don't shout so loud, everyone speak up, according to the recent rumors, could Xia Tianming's grandson even kill a Martial Sovereign?"

"Ridiculous, would you believe it if you said it yourself?"

"It's been so many years, could the Reversed Blood Lineage be deceptive? Did Xia Tianming leave any backup plans?"

"Backup plans, just with him? I saw with my own eyes the Emperor's Son crippling his dantian, turning him into a waste, what backup plans could he have to slay a Yellow Tier Ninth Layer Martial Sovereign like Liao Changfei?"

"Alright, stop arguing."

As everyone argued incessantly, a low voice suddenly sounded, and as soon as it spoke, the others immediately fell silent.

"Liao Changfei is dead, such a big event happened, I'm sure news will soon come."

"Before that, everyone should carry on as usual. Whether Xia Tianming left behind some means to kill Liao Changfei, Liao Changfei is already dead, speculation here has no meaning."

"Don't forget your identity, whether it's the Reversed Blood Lineage or not, remember they bear the name Xia, while you are merely outsiders."

Then, silence.

Three breaths later.

"We respectfully heed the Great Dragon General's teachings."

The other twenty-two Martial Sovereigns in Lingxiao Pavilion immediately cupped their fists toward the figure, speaking in respectful tones.
