At this critical moment, Emperor Tianfeng darted forward, his voice tinged with panic.

"Spare me, Your Highness, spare me!"

He stood alone opposite the massive army, then began to undo his imperial robe in front of the entire Imperial Capital and the million-strong army.

"Since this is what Your Highness desires, I shall fulfill it."

In mid-air on the opposite side, Xia Feng was filled with question marks.

What does he desire?

What is the opposite side doing?

As Emperor Tianfeng threw his imperial robe to the ground, he started to undo his inner garment.

Unable to bear it any longer, Xia Feng shouted, "What are you doing?"

This time, it was Emperor Tianfeng's turn to be bewildered.

"Your Highness, didn't you say you wanted me to surrender?"

The people below looked at Xia Feng with an even odder expression.

Xia Feng was handsome, and although Emperor Tianfeng was a bit older, it's rare for anyone from the royal family to look too outrageous.

Just as everyone was about to whisper, Emperor Tianfeng continued, "I feel that mere surrender cannot express my resolve."

"So I delayed for a month, planning to surrender to you in front of everyone."

"The Celestial Wind Empire voluntarily dissolves to become part of Great Xia, and I, Emperor Tianfeng, along with all the previous emperors, are willing to live in the Great Xia Imperial Capital."

After saying this, he knelt down in mid-air towards Xia Feng.

Now everyone understood; it turned out to be Emperor Tianfeng's surrender.

The people of Celestial Wind all knew that Emperor Tianfeng sometimes wasn't very bright, often seeming foolish, so there was no surprise at his bizarre actions.

They were all relieved, after all. As long as Emperor Tianfeng surrendered, based on the Great Xia Emperor's Son's previous habits, at least they wouldn't need to worry about their lives.

Sure enough, after Emperor Tianfeng uttered these words, although Xia Feng's face was still sour, the clouds in the sky slowly dispersed.

Both Emperor Tianfeng and the people of Celestial Wind breathed a sigh of relief.

Emperor Tianfeng enthusiastically rushed to Xia Feng's side, "Your Highness, Your Highness, I admire you so much!"

Xia Feng's expression became even stranger.

Since Emperor Tianfeng's surrender, Xia Feng had been receiving the power of faith from the entire Celestial Wind Empire.

The Emperor Tianfeng in front, proclaiming admiration for him, indeed had wisps of faith flowing towards Xia Feng.

He twitched slightly, "Mm, I understand. Prepare yourself and get ready to return to Great Xia with all the previous emperors."

Emperor Tianfeng's expression carried a hint of naive stupidity, "Huh? Can't I follow Your Highness?"

"I'm useful, I'm already a Celestial Tier Eighth Layer Martial Sovereign, I can definitely be of use, or at least let me serve Your Highness as a guard, as long as Your Highness doesn't dislike me."

Emperor Tianfeng spoke with urgency, so did Chu Yue nearby.

Now, Chu Yue was the only personal guard by the Emperor's Son's side; how come there's suddenly another one competing?

"No way, you used to be an emperor, you certainly can't be a good guard, get away!"

Emperor Tianfeng wasn't very old either, only two or three hundred years, and he looked at Chu Yue with a hint of disdain.

"Who would've thought; a sideline descendant of the Chu family who backstabbed their old master, truly hard for the Emperor's Son to endure you. What if one day you meet someone more powerful and want to backstab the Emperor's Son again?"

Chu Yue's cultivation was not as high as Emperor Tianfeng's, he jumped anxiously, cursing without being able to produce anything useful.

Xia Feng was getting a headache from the two of them; they were like three-year-olds, not two hundred.

"Alright, alright, stop arguing, I still have room for guards."

He then turned to Emperor Tianfeng, gauging his expression, "Why do you want to follow me?"

Seeing how serious Xia Feng had gotten, Emperor Tianfeng restrained his previous antics.

"Great Li is a powerful nation, and Your Highness is not familiar with Great Li. I can serve as Your Highness's adviser, I know some internal information about Great Li."

"I also have control over some spies, and even some of Great Li's soldiers are my people."

Xia Feng raised an eyebrow slightly, this Emperor Tianfeng seemed unreliable, but he didn't expect he could be this thoughtful at times.

"What do you seek? Do you wish to learn how to break through to Martial God from me?"

Emperor Tianfeng paused for a moment, then looked over with deeply searching eyes.

"If I said I wish to see the downfall of Great Li, to see all its lands engulfed in flames, would Your Highness believe me?"

As he said this, his expression was unusually firm, even with a hint of ruthlessness in the depths of his eyes.

Xia Feng's eyebrow twitched momentarily but quickly returned to his normal state.

Then Emperor Tianfeng squeezed out a somewhat cheeky grin.

"Heh, after all, my country is in such a dire state, I can't be the only one losing face."

"If only I were taken down in the entire Northern Continent, who knows how badly the history books would portray me."

"Only when the entire Northern Continent is taken by Great Xia, then it shows how wise my surrender was!"

Xia Feng's facial muscle couldn't help but twitch as he turned to give Emperor Tianfeng a look, without responding further.

He's realized this person's mind might not be quite right, rather erratic.

He waved his hand, sending Emperor Tianfeng to discuss the situation of the Great Li Empire with Gu Sha Grand General, then started arranging who should stay behind.

Last time in Great Chu, Xia Feng had discovered this issue and realized he needed to leave some capable civil servants to manage the conquered empire.

Otherwise, when he's present, these emperors may surrender, but once his army leaves, whether they truly surrendered or not, he doesn't have time to keep watch.

Especially recently, Xia Tianming hadn't entered the Dream Realm Pearl for cultivation in several nights.

So Xia Feng was a bit worried about his grandfather, wanting to deal with these matters swiftly, ignite the Divine Fire, and see if he could ascend to the Divine Domain to save his grandfather.

He exhaled a long breath, then instructed Chu Yue on several civil servants' names, telling him to bring them over.

After two or three months of reorganization, looking at the newly revamped Celestial Wind Province, Xia Feng was quite satisfied.

Even Emperor Tianfeng Feng Yu sighed, "I used to always want to organize the Celestial Wind Empire properly, but there were too many influential families inside, touching one part affected everything, and I could never act."

Xia Feng glanced at him, knowing that Feng Yu truly wanted to manage this empire well, but was constantly under the pressure of stronger neighboring states.

As an empire bordering the sea, often there were just no real options.

"Keep up the good work, the world you envision, one day, Great Xia will give it to you."

Then Xia Feng, with determined eyes, looked towards Great Li, "Set out! Attack Great Li!"

The whole army began to break camp in unison, promptly packing up their belongings and advancing in the direction of Great Li.

Feng Yu and Chu Yue were both vying to carry Xia Feng's luggage as they followed behind him.
