The soldiers behind Xia Feng are the elite among the elite.

When they previously attacked Amaterasu, those thirty thousand troops fought alongside him in the Dream Realm Pearl for ten thousand years. Even though they emerged without clear memories,

those instincts were already engraved in their bones.

Their trust and loyalty to Xia Feng are absolute, unshakable by anyone or anything.

Only Chu Yue and Feng Yu bore slight looks of reluctance on their faces.

Xia Feng didn't want them to misunderstand: "Rest assured, the ones I truly want to kill are only those corrupt high officials and nobles."

After saying this, he flew straight up into the air from the ground.

He indeed harbored no intention of harming civilians. If he truly wanted to massacre the city, he would just condense the Great Dao of Purple Thunder like before, so why bother painstakingly condensing the Great Dao of Extreme Ice?

Below, Emperor Li stared at the silhouetted figure in the air. Though the visage was unclear, he could sense from the faintly emerging ice-blue Divine Power in Xia Feng's palm that it was indeed him.

But seeing Xia Feng provoked into appearing, no one felt relieved at heart.

This was Xia Feng, the Great Xia Emperor's Son, currently the only Demigod on the Celestial Essence Continent.

Even if they were numerous, there was no assurance they could detain Xia Feng.

Emperor Li took a step forward, barely standing at a corner inside the great hall.

"Xia Feng, you've committed such unforgivable acts, and you still dare to show your face? Someone like you, who disregards the lives of the people, will meet retribution sooner or later."

Xia Feng chuckled softly, with a hint of indifference in his voice.

"Oh? Retribution?"

With a slight force of his left hand, he directly pulled Emperor Li out of the great hall and into mid-air.

"You speak with such righteous indignation, weren't you asking me for a frontal assault?"

"Here I am, aren't you going to fight back?"

Just as Emperor Li exited the great hall, he felt the snowflakes landing on him—endlessly seeping Extreme Ice Power into his body.

Having cultivated the Great Dao of Li Huo for years, he surprisingly felt a trace of cold.

His expression bore several traces of panic, and before he could utter a word, several explosive shouts suddenly erupted from the palace behind.

"How dare you, brat!"

Successive emperors flew out from the palace, the overwhelming Great Dao of Li Huo intermingling.

Seven or eight of them jointly managed to barely intercept that patch of clouds in the sky.

Xia Feng raised an eyebrow, suddenly pulling out a scroll from his robe.

After opening it, he glanced at the successive emperors.

"One, two, three... good, now that you're all here, I can save the trouble of finding you one by one."

He rolled up the scroll listing the high officials of the Great Li Empire and tucked it back into his robe, smiling as he addressed the successive emperors across from him.

"Do you have anything else to say?"

The successive emperors, being mighty rulers, had never suffered such humiliation.

The eldest among them, the second Emperor Li, angrily rebuked: "Ridiculous child, how dare you venture alone into Great Li at your young age, still green behind the ears?"

"Look at your ancestor today, I'll see to it that you lose your life here!"

Xia Feng's gaze grew significantly colder, his eyes fixed on the second Emperor Li with a murderous intent as if it could manifest physically.

"Is that your final word? I thought... you would be as sensible as Great Chu and Celestial Wind."

The third Emperor Li spoke up: "Child, don't think you can sweep across the entire continent just because you've taken over two small states."

"When your Great Xia's first Emperor Xia was still in swaddling clothes, I was already serving as Emperor Li."

Xia Feng's gaze grew even fiercer, yet he said nothing. With a wave of his right hand, the ice-blue glow in his palm flashed.

The successive emperors facing him were still wary of Xia Feng's sudden attack, instantly converging and enveloped in layers of Li Huo.

At that moment, they all seemed to become a part of the flames.

After a moment with no apparent drastic action from Xia Feng, the fourth Emperor Li couldn't help but sneer.

"I thought you had great capabilities, but you're stumped by the power of our Array of Li Huo, aren't you!"

As his words fell, the gathered flames suddenly fluctuated violently.

It was as if the flames were blown, and then two ice sculptures plummeted from the air, heavily crashing to the ground.

These were the second and third Emperors Li!

These ice sculptures were different from the palace maids and guards where time was previously frozen on the ground.

Once these two Emperors Li hit the ground, they shattered into pieces.

Their heads barely showed that their freezing was likely instantaneous, leaving no time even for an expression of fear.

Xia Feng directed his gaze toward the fourth Emperor Li who had just spoken, flashing a smile.

Then, amidst the extra cautious and watchful gazes of everyone, the fourth Emperor Li slowly began to freeze.

Though described as slowly, it was merely within the blink of two eyes that he too became an ice sculpture crashing to the ground.

The air fell silent; no one dared speak.

Xia Feng chuckled softly, inquiring: "Weren't you very talkative just now?"

"Go on, continue?"

The surrounding area remained dead silent, with only Xia Feng's faint laughter lingering in the air.

"Since you're unwilling to speak, shall I randomly select?"

After he finished speaking, the ice-blue Divine Power in his palm flickered and surged once more.

The successive Emperors Li facing him seemed to have instantly scared themselves witless: "Quick, run, he- he shouldn't be able to freeze all of us at once, hurry and leave. As long as we're alive, in the future..."

The speaking Emperor Li had just started retreating in panic but hadn't flown more than a few meters when his frantic escaping demeanor was eternally frozen there, becoming an ice sculpture crashing to the ground.

Xia Feng seemed to find it all somewhat dull, so he pulled out the previous scroll from his robe again.

He gave it a cursory glance, then took out a pen and crossed out the names of the second to the current Emperors Li.

Those not frozen solid followed suit after their names were crossed off, suspended in mid-air before plummeting as if drained of Life Force.

The first Emperor Li's pupils constricted, seemingly frightened by Xia Feng's method.

But Xia Feng ignored him and instead turned his gaze to the people within the great hall.

The scroll briefly documented some of the high-ranking officials of Great Li, along with a simple biography.

The hand Xia Feng used to grip the pen occasionally flickered with the ice-blue glow, sometimes shifting instantly to an emerald-green glow.

He paid it no mind and simply crossed off the unlikable high-ranking officials one by one, corresponding to which someone in the hall would lose breath.

The first Emperor Li gazed upon this eerie method with growing dread.

"I- I surrender, Great Li is willing to submit to Great Xia like Great Chu and Celestial Wind, just pleaing the Emperor's Son to spare Great Li!"

This first Emperor Li, knowing when to bow and when to stretch, knelt directly before Xia Feng, tearfully begging for mercy.
