Your family’s lineage is truly remarkable.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Feng, who was still sitting on the ground, was lifted up directly by Xia Qingyang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He gave a bitter smile, \"Ancestor, let’s talk about this when we get back?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Xia Feng’s weak appearance, Xia Qingyang looked worried, \"You didn’t get hurt anywhere, did you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That old Dongfang was despicable and shameless. He was already a Martial God and still bullied the young.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But Xiao Feng was amazing, and directly killed him!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was originally worried about Xia Feng’s body, but after a few words, he became happy again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Feng sighed and gave his father a look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Naiwen suppressed his excitement and took two steps forward, \"Hey, Ancestor, Xiao Feng just finished fighting, let’s head back to the Imperial Palace first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then did Xia Qingyang restrain himself a bit, and he carried Xia Feng, flying swiftly towards the Imperial Palace of the Great Xia Empire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Along the way, they passed a few cities, and even half of the Imperial Capital.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the figure flying through the sky, the Martial Artists below looked with a few hues of fanaticism.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was the Emperor’s Son, someone with the talent to kill a Martial God at the Demigod Realm!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Feng felt slightly strange being looked at, and he glanced down at the crowd below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a result, the Martial Artists below became even more excited at this glance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah! The Emperor’s Son looked at me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nonsense! The Emperor’s Son was clearly looking at me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Both of you stop arguing, that glance from the Emperor’s Son must have been looking at me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a few discussions, they seemed like they were about to fight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I wonder when I can become a Martial Artist like the Emperor’s Son.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stop dreaming. The Emperor’s Son is so exceptional, even if you get another chance at reincarnation, you wouldn’t reach the heights of the Emperor’s Son.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah, I wonder if the Emperor’s Son is still recruiting guards, it would be great to see the Emperor’s Son up close every day...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Empresses have all left the Emperor’s Son, I wonder if the Emperor’s Son needs a woman, if he does...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone’s eyes turned uniformly to the woman who said the last sentence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman did have a bit of beauty, otherwise, she wouldn’t dare to have such ambitions for the Emperor’s Son.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But compared to the Empresses, she was completely outclassed and hopelessly unattractive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the sudden silence around her and all the eyes on her,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the woman’s face turned pale, then, with a mix of embarrassment and anger, she spoke up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s the matter, can’t I dream?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t you also want to be the Emperor’s Son’s guards?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s wrong with me wanting to be a palace maid!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone silently shifted their gaze away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Feng was somewhat puzzled by the commotion below and turned to look at Xia Qingyang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s going on?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Qingyang squinted, smiling broadly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xiao Feng, you don’t know what an amazing thing you’ve done.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He carried Xia Feng straight into the Royal Palace and waved for the Imperial Physician to check Xia Feng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Feng said helplessly, \"Ancestor, I myself am an Alchemist; these injuries seem severe but haven’t really harmed my meridians.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was careful with his actions, and he also had the Void Cauldron.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A mere Yellow Tier First Layer Martial God, if Xia Feng wasn’t afraid he’d escape, just to intimidate him wouldn’t even require using the Void Cauldron.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Qingyang’s face was full of smiles, \"See, it’s nothing serious. Oh, Xiao Feng, you’re truly amazing...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All the way here, Xia Feng had lost count of how many times Xia Qingyang had repeated these words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those former Emperor Xia who had been flying a little slower also caught up, gathering around Xia Feng’s bed, each making exclamations of wonder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Feng felt creeped out by their stares and asked puzzled, \"Ancestors, what exactly is going on?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Naiwen hesitated for a moment and whispered, \"After your grandfather was taken, many Martial Artists lost their original intention for cultivation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Today, you, at the Demigod Realm, killed a Martial God, letting them know that Martial Gods can also be challenged, reawakening their direction for cultivation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Feng was taken aback. After his grandfather was taken, indeed, few of the past Emperor Xia returned to seclusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Were they worried that after their breakthroughs, they would be treated that way too?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Feng thought for a moment, turned to look at his father, \"Since we’ve already offended the Dongfang Clan, we might as well make it more thorough.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Spread the news of Dongfang Le’an’s death.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Naiwen smiled, \"Those who need to know already know, and I plan to erect statues of you in each city.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If not for you, the entire Great Xia Empire might be wiped out after today.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Feng frowned, just about to refuse, when the other former Emperor Xia surrounded him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xiao Feng, Martial God...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He came to his senses, looking at these elders of great-grandfather and even older generations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Rest assured, Martial Gods are not invincible. Although today I took advantage of the ten paths of cultivation, as long as one is strong enough, the Martial God is just a part of the cultivation path.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The former Emperors’ expressions carried hints of joy, eager to return to seclusion and attempt breakthroughs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, considering Xia Feng was still lying on the bed, they felt embarrassed to leave immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Feng forced a smile, \"Ancestors, please go ahead. I’m well aware of my injuries, and I’ll be fine in a few days.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Once I’ve recovered, I’ll continue where grandfather left off and discuss breakthroughs with you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone’s faces were filled with joy, knowing Xia Feng was politely asking them to leave, they departed one after another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Naiwen and Huang Xiaoqian stayed behind, looking at Xia Feng with a bit of concern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are your injuries really okay?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And... you killed someone from the Dongfang Clan, I wonder if...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Feng smiled and looked at his parents, \"We’ll face whatever comes our way. If we’re too afraid to move forward, then the path of cultivation is effectively broken.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He faintly sensed an inexplicable change in the layers of blood-colored mist within his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After saying a few words to his parents, he calmed down, focusing internally to inspect the changes in the blood-colored mist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A moment later, he suddenly opened his eyes, his expression revealing a hint of joy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blood-colored mist seemed like sparks about to ignite, essential fuel for lighting the Divine Fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had been worried that practicing the ten paths concurrently would make the path to igniting the Divine Fire incredibly difficult.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he didn’t expect to receive such good news at the outset, at least giving him a direction to strive towards.\u003C\u002Fp>",1198,"2026-06-05T22:57:42.809Z",1,"novelbin.me","6948487cb82e2f81facfa6366629c7bc8be330ddf141426f71d5084b2ad9469c","pursued-by-the-top-grade-saintess-after-engageme-chapter-245","pursued-by-the-top-grade-saintess-after-engageme-chapter-243",634,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fpursued-by-the-top-grade-saintess-after-engageme-cover.jpg"]
