Pursued by the Top Grade Saintess after Engagement Annulled Chapter 251 - 249: Half a Year of Recuperation, Preparing to
As for the two countries’ fight to the death that the forr Emperor Chu ntioned?
Ridiculous, the Chu Kingdom now only has an Imperial Capital left, and the people’s hearts are still scattered.
What do they have to threaten Xia Feng with?
A giant palm appeared above the Great Chu Imperial Capital, reaching fiercely towards the forr Emperors Chu in the air.
Their expressions turned panicked as they attempted to flee in all directions.
What they spoke of with such firmness was rely because they were reluctant to give up their lofty positions over the years.
But now they were facing a demigod; who would dare to really challenge Xia Feng head-on?
Yet how could they compete with Xia Feng’s speed? The enormous palm caught all the forr Emperors Chu fiercely.
Then, with a slight squeeze, the lantations of the forr Emperors Xia echoed from within.
"Great Xia Emperor’s Son! Your move is too audacious!"
"Ah! Spare !"
"Stop squeezing!"
"I surrender, I surrender, spare my life, I promise not to interfere in Chu Kingdom’s affairs anymore!"
Xia Feng chuckled lightly, thinking if they had the courage to fight to the death, he might have even respected them a bit and given them a dignified death.
Now?
Forget it.
His palm clenched fiercely, and a thick mist of blood suddenly perated the air.
When the palm opened up, there was no trace of the forr Emperors Chu, not even leaving any remains.
The gigantic palm dissipated into the Great Dao Rules in mid-air, and at first, the expressions of the civilians below showed so panic.
But as the bloody mist spread near them, it seed they finally realized what had happened.
Unexpectedly, no one was afraid, and even the initial panic vanished.
These civilians cheered and bowed in the direction of Xia Feng.
A massive surge of the Power of Faith flowed in from all directions of the Imperial Capital, and the curve of Xia Feng’s smile widened slightly.
He turned to look at Gu Sha Grand General, hesitated for a mont, then gave orders to Chen Hongyu.
"Rest in the Imperial Capital, and prepare to cross the Northeast Sea."
He frowned slightly: "Pacify the subjects of Great Chu and screen the original ministers, if there are any..."
Xia Feng paused, his expression sowhat indecisive.
He took a deep breath and then spoke: "Let Chu Yue assist you, it was my oversight to forget this matter."
This ti, Xia Feng only brought generals skilled in conquest, not a single civil servant was brought along.
Even he hadn’t anticipated that Great Chu would fall so easily; he had taken over the entire Great Chu in less than three months.
Beside him, Chu Yue showed a hint of panic: "Emperor’s Son, I, I have never managed Great Chu, I don’t know what to do..."
Xia Feng waved his hand: "It’s fine, at least you understand Great Chu, and I’m not saying we need to replace all the court officials of Great Chu."
"You just need to root out the parasites in the court."
Chu Yue was still a bit insecure, but Xia Feng’s expression was stern: "Enough, that’s an order! At least hold on until reinforcents from Great Xia arrive."
After he finished, he didn’t pay attention to them anymore, but instead, gazed with a hint of concern northward.
The situation on the Northern Continent was similar to that on the Eastern Continent before; it’s also divided among three empires.
Near the Northeast Sea is the Celestial Wind Empire, which is relatively weak in national power.
But further north, the Great Li Empire is similar to Great Xia previously; without Xia Feng’s intervention, the war could be more stalemated.
As for the far north’s Beiman, due to the terrain, virtually everyone is a soldier.
Additionally, they are naturally fierce, nomadic people of the steppes, who fight fearlessly and fiercely.
If it cos to combat, Xia Feng isn’t afraid, but he’s worried about whether Great Xia’s provisions can be safely supplied during such a long-drawn war.
Like with the previous Rizhao Empire, when Xia Feng fought against them, they seed to have the upper hand but ended up in defeat after Xia Feng cut off their supplies.
If this strategy were to be used against Xia Feng, he’d lose face on the Celestial Essence Continent.
So at least until the Power of Faith is fully consolidated, he cannot afford any defeats.
Therefore, going to the Northern Continent this ti, he must plan carefully.
As a demigod, people from other nations surely guard against Xia Feng.
Especially after Xia Feng suddenly began unifying the Eastern Continent, the empires of other continents beca sowhat tense.
If Xia Feng were to attack, could they withstand him?
But for so unknown reason, after Xia Feng swiftly took Great Chu, he didn’t make further moves.
All soldiers encamped near the Great Chu Imperial Capital, and Xia Feng even gave them a break to tour the area and experience Great Chu’s culture.
Most notably, Great Chu is now not managed by Xia Feng but controlled by an unknown collateral relative of Great Chu.
It’s said that this collateral relative captured Emperor Chu at a critical mont, laying the first foundation for Great Xia’s victory.
Chu Yue also heard about this and hastily tried to explain, but who would listen to him?
This incident led many empires to reassign collateral relatives from key positions.
So extre countries even executed a large number of collateral relatives, to prevent any potential issues.
Xia Feng wasn’t aware of this matter; he was still pondering the crossing of the Northeast Sea.
Ships have difficulty navigating the sea; he has close to a million soldiers and generals. How can he quickly and quietly cross the Northeast Sea?
This contemplation lasted for half a year.
During this half year, the soldiers recuperated energetically, sharpening their blades in preparation for action against the Northern Continent.
The Great Chu Empire is now integrated into the Great Xia Empire, renad as Dongxia Province.
The person from Great Xia assigned to take over Dongxia Province also arrived, working with Chu Yue for a while.
Xia Feng casually remarked: "Chu Yue has done well over this half year; if you’re willing to join the court, staying in Dongxia isn’t a bad option."
Chu Yue replied anxiously: "No, I want to continue waging battles with the Emperor’s Son, please bring along!"
Xia Feng patted his shoulder: "No need to be so tense, I was just ntioning it casually; since you’re willing to fight with , prepare yourselves as we will depart soon."
After a few more days, Xia Feng regrouped his forces and headed toward the Northeast Sea.
The empires of the Northern Continent watched his progress with anxiety and tension.
Though the Northeast Sea is vast and the current is rapid, no nation has ever succeeded in leading troops across it.
But Xia Feng is a demigod, and they are sowhat concerned that he might have so trump card, perhaps even leading his soldiers across directly.
However, after Xia Feng stationed his troops by the seaside, he didn’t appear in a hurry and just instructed his subordinates to prepare so ships.
The nations on the other continents couldn’t help but look at each other in surprise; it seed Xia Feng intended to attempt transporting these soldiers by ship?
