Let's talk about Xia Feng this time.

Ever since he single-handedly eradicated the Ten Great Sacred Lands, within three days, his reputation had already spread across the northwest corner of Beizhou, becoming a household name.

Many factions voluntarily brought various exquisite gifts, be it heavenly materials and earthly treasures, martial techniques, or holy weapons, all eager to curry favor with Xia Feng in Xingyu City.

They didn't know what grievances existed between Xia Feng and the Ten Great Sacred Lands, but in this world of martial arts, only the strong are respected.

Xia Feng's ability to single-handedly slay the Saint Masters of the Ten Great Upper Grade Sacred Lands meant his power was, at the very least, at the Half-Emperor Realm!

What kind of existence is a Half-Emperor? It's known that across the entire Great Xia Empire, aside from the highest ruling empire, only the Top Grade Sacred Land can boast such mastery!

Masters of the Ten Great Top Grade Sacred Lands are basically all strong at the Half-Emperor level; only if the empire takes action are they eclipsed as the strongest force in the Great Xia Empire!

A genius like Xia Feng, how can one not seek to befriend him?

If he could get along well with a Half-Emperor, even if carelessly offending the Top Grade Sacred Land later, they might spare them for Xia Feng's sake.

Thus, when Xia Feng returned to Xingyu City on the third day, the city exterior became bustling nonstop.

The Vice Saint Masters, Great Elders, and main spokespersons of various Middle Grade and Upper Grade Sacred Lands came with packages big and small, merrily heading towards the City Lord's Mansion.

As for Xia Naiwen, he warmly received those gift-giving guests without refusing anyone.

Previously, he had already discussed this with Xia Feng.

It's normal for people to try to win them over due to their current power.

But they don't know a bigger storm is brewing.

After Xia Naiwu failed three consecutive times, according to Xia Naiwen's understanding of him, he would never let them off.

Xia Naiwen initially felt a bit embarrassed accepting these gifts, but Xia Feng convinced him.

Those Sacred Lands regularly monopolize cultivation resources as significant forces, and compared to them, other people have truly scarce cultivation resources.

Why is it that people in Xingyu City, even the better ones, can only cultivate to the Martial King Realm from birth?

It's simply because they lack good cultivation resources!

Since Xia Naiwen is the City Lord of Xingyu City, naturally, he must think more about taking care of his citizens.

And to those colossal forces, while these gifts are expensive, they are trivial compared to their heritage, not worth caring about.

Thus, Xia Naiwen felt no psychological burden, began treating them openly, inviting them for tea, boasting, and recalling past glorious days.

During these days, the gates of Xingyu City never shut, as the endless stream of visitors were too numerous, all of considerable wealth and status.

The residents of Xingyu City were astonished, as over the days, it was the passage of masters all beyond Martial Emperor Realm, numbering over a hundred!

A hundred plus Martial Emperors was something beyond their past imagination.

Yet, these Martial Emperors, upon entering the city, were not ostentatious but rather humble, treating everyone kindly.

Even in small eateries along the streets, they were jovial and courteous.

During this period, residents of Xingyu City were thrilled; being treated by such notable figures, even having grandchildren would be the talk of the years!

And all of this was brought by their city's young master, Xia Feng!

At this moment, Xia Feng and his father were at the center of the City Lord's Mansion, hosting guests.

In the courtyard, over a dozen Upper Grade Sacred Land Saint Masters were seated, along with dozens of representatives from Middle Grade Sacred Lands, on the periphery, daring not to speak, only accompanying with smiles as they watched the conversations ahead.

"Never expected, really unexpected, our Beizhou could produce such an unparalleled genius as Young Master Xia!" Nine Lights Saint Master raised his glass, his old face flushed, slapping compliments loudly.

"A Half-Emperor in his twenties, such talent, I dare say even in the Divine Domain, would be a top existence!"

"Exactly! I believe Young Master Xia's achievements today are inseparable from City Lord Xia; it's said father and son are alike, and today's meeting proves so!" An old man from Qingxin Sacred Land nodded and sighed.

"The two of you combined barely a hundred years of cultivation time, yet in such a short period, one is a Yellow Tier Martial Saint, the other a Celestial Tier Martial Saint, such monstrous talent is terrifying!"

Xia Naiwen lifted his cup, cheerfully drinking with everyone.

"Gentlemen, all who come are guests, please enjoy yourselves."

"City Lord Xia as well!"

"Thank you, City Lord Xia, for hosting us!"

"A banquet for the Half-Emperor is such glory, enough for me to boast for thousands of years, hahaha!"

Within the courtyard, everyone toasted and traded cups, the atmosphere joyous and harmonious.

Xia Feng watched with disapproval, shaking his head inwardly.

Growing up in the City Lord's Mansion, he had never seen such a lively scene.

Previously, they were weak and even faced bullying from other major families within Xingyu City.

But now, dozens and hundreds of sacred lands were actively seeking connections and protection.

A group of people fawning and flattering, just hoping to establish good relationships for future needs.

Indeed, in this world, only absolute strength is the foundation of everything.

This banquet lasted two hours, but everyone bore the Martial Saint's physique, neither time nor alcohol affecting them.

Seeing the warm welcome from the Xia family's father and son, their purpose of visiting was fulfilled.

With today's connection, deeper exchanges could continue in the future to establish a profound relationship with Xia Feng.

Thus, some Saint Masters didn't plan to waste more time and simply rose to bid farewell to the father and son.

But just when those three Saint Masters prepared to speak their excuses, the door to the City Lord's Mansion courtyard was hastily pushed open.

Everyone turned their heads and saw disciples from various sacred lands rushing in like the sky was falling, panic-stricken.

Each found their respective Saint Master and bowed low, trembling all over as they shared a shocking piece of news.

Upon hearing this, those Saint Masters' pupils instantly contracted, their minds like volcanic eruptions, buzzing nonstop, consciousness flickering.

They looked at Xia Feng with eyes shifting from prior flattery and awe to fear and chaos.

A few Saint Masters stood there, stunned for a long time, even forgetting to breathe, but quickly regained composure, taking a deep breath and gritting their teeth as they collapsed toward their disciples: "Go! Go! Quickly leave this place!"

One led the way, and all other Saint Masters quickly came to their senses; they too unleashed their spiritual power and soared into the sky.

No need to speak a few words of farewell, nor did they dare give the Xia family even a look!
