To develop a new elixir, one must master more knowledge.

But even with her extensive knowledge, she still couldn't identify the origin of the demonization technique those two had used earlier.

What she did know was that Xia Feng did not want to face such a situation again, nor did they.

At this moment, Xia Feng, taking advantage of the night, slowly moved toward the enemy's military camp.

The Martial Sovereign concealed his presence, impossible to be detected by anyone not of the same realm.

At this moment, Elder Chongwu was pondering the strategy for tomorrow's battle in the command tent, paying little attention to the situation around the camp.

After all, in his view, Xia Feng and his ten wives should have all been killed by Master Qingyang and Ghost Shark on Thunder Mountain by now.

The remaining Yellow Tier Martial Sovereigns were not worth fearing, they could be easily crushed.

Yet, as he sat in the tent, he waited and waited, but Master Qingyang and Ghost Shark did not return.

"Strange, they should have been back by now. Their opponent was merely an Earth Tier Martial Sovereign, do they really need that much time?"

Elder Chongwu sat in his chair, tapping his fingers on the table, his brow tightly furrowed.

His plan was to use Xia Feng's head to crush the enemy's morale, yet they were already preparing to deploy troops tomorrow, and Xia Feng's head had not been brought back.

Could it be that something went wrong?

But that doesn't make sense; their Celestial Tier Martial Sovereigns were fast, the Great Xia Empire shouldn't have had time to react, and their opponents were only Earth Tier Martial Sovereigns, they should have been defeated instantly.

"Let's wait until tomorrow. If they're not back by dusk, we'll have to fight head-on."

Elder Chongwu thought impatiently.

His power on this battlefield was already overwhelming, but he considered using the head of the Great Xia Empire's emperor's son to disrupt the enemy's morale just to reduce his side's casualties.

If it couldn't be done, it was not a big deal, at worst he would lead the army to quickly defeat them.

"Who dares trespass!?"

Suddenly, Elder Chongwu's eyes sharpened. He threw a dagger directly toward the top of the command tent, cutting through a steel rope, causing the whole tent to collapse.

Just outside the tent, a slender figure slowly descended, looking at Elder Chongwu with an expressionless face.

"A spy from the Great Xia Empire?"

Seeing that the intruder was alone, Elder Chongwu sneered, throwing another dagger from his sleeve toward the intruder's heart.

The dagger carried the enormous power of the Heavenly Dao Rules, a strike from a Celestial Tier First Layer Martial Sovereign, enough to level a mountain.

But this was the Rizhao Empire's military camp, so Elder Chongwu restrained his power, focusing the energy on the blade tip to avoid damaging the terrain.

However, the scene he expected—a pierced heart and a fallen body—did not occur.

The shadow in the night reached out and caught the dagger thrown by Elder Chongwu.

"Impressive strength."

Elder Chongwu raised an eyebrow: "You are a Martial Sovereign sent by the Great Xia Empire? Your realm is decent, but at Earth Tier, you must still die."

After carefully detecting the spiritual power fluctuations from the opponent, Elder Chongwu sneered again.

But the person across from him did not reply; instead, they immediately drew the Silver-White Jade Sword from their waist and pointed it straight toward the sky, shouting.

"Celestial Punishment!"

"Boom!"

In an instant, the clouds in the sky were torn apart, and a massive sword blade descended with the drifting Qingxue from the heavens.

The black sky was dyed silver-white, illuminating the entire camp, as if day were night and the sun rose in the east.

"The emperor's son has given the signal, the remaining Celestial Tier First Layer Martial Sovereign is inside, follow me to attack!"

Gu Sha and Chen Hongyu, upon seeing the giant Qingxue Sword in the sky, immediately unsheathed their weapons, leading 15,000 troops to charge toward the sides of the camp!

The ten women also instantly leaped into the air, bursting with the power of an Earth Tier Martial Sovereign, swiftly heading toward Xia Feng.

"Is this... the pressure of a Celestial Tier Martial Sovereign?"

Elder Chongwu felt the fluctuation of Celestial Punishment, finally looking at Xia Feng with no contempt.

"You are a Celestial Tier Martial Sovereign from the Great Xia Empire? No, that's not right, you only have the spiritual power fluctuation of an Earth Tier Martial Sovereign, who exactly are you?"

Elder Chongwu exclaimed angrily.

Under the luminescence of the giant Qingxue Sword, Xia Feng slowly turned sideways, facing Elder Chongwu.

"How is it possible? You are the emperor's son, Xia Feng, from the Great Xia Empire!?"

When Elder Chongwu clearly saw the intruder's face, a storm surged in his heart.

"Why is it you, what happened to Master Qingyang and Ghost Shark!?"

Elder Chongwu was shocked, this was truly absurd, he couldn't comprehend why Xia Feng was here.

Two Celestial Tier First Layer Martial Sovereigns went to eliminate him, yet instead of them returning, it was Xia Feng, only Earth Tier Fifth Layer, who did.

"They're all dead, and soon you will follow them." Xia Feng said coldly, instantly pushing the Supreme Technique and the Ten Dao Heaven and Earth Rules to the extreme.

In that moment, the aura within Xia Feng surged, instantly reaching the peak of Celestial Tier First Layer Martial Sovereign!

The Nine Orifice Exquisite Heart had already been shattered to kill Master Qingyang and Ghost Shark, Xia Feng had no time to use the Dream Realm Pearl to reform it.

Moreover, the ten women hadn't arrived yet, so he couldn't perform the Ten Extremes Array.

Celestial Tier First Layer Martial Sovereign peak; this was Xia Feng's current limit.

"Did you kill the two of them? How is it possible, did your Celestial Tier Martial Sovereign intervene?"

Xia Feng was ready to fight, but in contrast, Elder Chongwu's expression was serious, his attention was not on Xia Feng, but was instead searching the vicinity with spiritual power to see if there were any other unknown presences.

"No one is here?"

Elder Chongwu furrowed his brow, he was perplexed.

Even if Xia Feng could raise his power to Celestial Tier First Layer Martial Sovereign, he couldn't possibly kill both Master Qingyang and Ghost Shark together.

Let alone First Layer, even as a Third Layer Martial Sovereign, there wasn't much hope, unless it was someone from the Fifth Layer Realm or above.

"Feng, how exactly did you manage to kill Master Qingyang and Ghost Shark?"

Elder Chongwu's face darkened, lacking an answer.

Having been cautious all his life, he despised the feeling of situations slipping from his control.

There were too many things he couldn't understand, and in abnormal circumstances, there must be anomalies!

Since Xia Feng could kill Master Qingyang and Ghost Shark, why couldn't he kill him, another Celestial Tier First Layer Martial Sovereign?

Even if Elder Chongwu was slightly stronger than the other two, they were both Celestial Tier First Layer Martial Sovereigns, not much stronger!

Elder Chongwu had lived for tens of thousands of years, known for cunning like a fox within the Rizhao Empire.

In the absence of clarity about why things were this way, he did not dare act rashly.

Xia Feng saw Elder Chongwu merely giving him a cold stare without any intention to act and couldn't help but laugh.

"Are all of Rizhao Empire's Celestial Tier Martial Sovereigns so cowardly?"
