Just as Feng Yu was about to persuade Xia Feng to go out and see those soldiers to appease the army's morale, the outside suddenly turned pitch black.
Xia Feng furrowed his brows and was about to go out to check when he heard a voice outside that sounded like muffled thunder.
"Where is Xia Feng, the brat!"
"Xia Feng, the brat, come and pay homage to us quickly!"
Xia Feng's face, which was initially planning to lift the tent, instantly darkened.
In the current Celestial Essence Continent, no one dared to call him like this, not even in their hearts, let alone cursing to his face.
He took a deep breath, adjusted the expression on his face, and then went out.
In mid-air, a crimson cloud appeared, and two Martial Gods wrapped in strands of Divine Power stood arrogantly in the air.
Seeing Xia Feng come out, the two's expressions firmed up: "Are you the Xia Family descendant who recently broke through to Demigod?"
"You really know how to cause trouble. The two of us went to find you in the Great Xia but couldn't find you anywhere."
"Alright, since we found you, pack up and come with us to the Divine Domain."
Xia Feng's expression was astonished, his gaze carrying a mix of surprise and uncertainty as he looked at the two, unsure if they were pretending to be foolish or just genuinely foolish.
But no matter which it was, he had no intention of leaving with these two.
He would definitely go to the Divine Domain, but not now. Once he fully ignites the Divine Fire, he would surely go up to rescue his grandfather.
Seeing that Xia Feng was not making any moves, the two seemed somewhat impatient.
"Kid, we're talking to you!"
Xia Feng looked up directly at the two: "May I know where the two of you hail from?"
Their expressions carried a hint of disdain as they looked at Xia Feng, assuming he was scared witless by their imposing manner.
"We come from the Infinite Divine Domain's Dongfang Clan. I'm Dongfang Lezhi, and he's Dongfang Lechuan."
"Enough, don't waste time here. Come with us to the Upper Realm, and we'll talk on the way if you have any questions."
Both showed hints of irritation, unwilling to waste words if not for the higher-ups ordering them to capture Xia Feng alive.
Deploying the two of them to capture a mere Demigod was already overestimating Xia Feng.
The higher-ups had repeatedly instructed them to act cautiously and strategically, hoping to smoothly trick Xia Feng back to the Divine Domain.
Both were somewhat scornful of this; was killing a small nameless clan member worth such treatment from the higher-ups?
They didn't know that the Eastern Clan Leader had been torturing Xia Tianming severely, but he wouldn't reveal the whereabouts of the Divine Artifact no matter what.
The Eastern Clan Leader dared not kill Xia Tianming, so he resorted to daily torment without pause.
Originally attempting to find out what Xia Tianming cared about, they discovered Dongfang Le'an was dead.
The Eastern Clan Leader was shocked. Even if Dongfang Le'an was just a Yellow Tier First Layer Martial God, he was still a Martial God.
It seemed that Xia Feng surely had backup plans left by Xia Tianming, which meant Xia Feng was extremely important to him.
Whether they could find a breakthrough depended entirely on Xia Feng.
That's why two Martial Gods descended to capture Xia Feng; if not for the Eastern Clan Leader fearing other factions' attention, he might have sent Profound-tier Martial Gods down.
Xia Feng wasn't aware of the specific details but contemplated briefly and could guess some truths.
Their names in the air were similar to Dongfang Le'an, likely from the same generation.
He could vaguely sense their cultivation was several times stronger than Dongfang Le'an, probably around Yellow Tier Fourth Layer Martial God level.
Even so, he felt no fear.
Compared to the day he slaughtered Dongfang Le'an, Xia Feng had grown more than tenfold stronger.
He laughed heartily, his fighting spirit surging to the sky.
Several Martial Sovereigns' Divine Senses from the Great Xia and other empires observing, some worried and some anticipating Xia Feng's failure.
Xia Feng snorted, having already destroyed four countries, yet these people hadn't learned enough from their previous spying.
No matter, once he dealt with these two Martial Gods, he would naturally settle accounts with them.
The two opposite showed restrained surprise: "Kid, do you, a mere Demigod, think you can oppose us?"
"Do you know we represent the entire Dongfang Clan? How dare you?"
Even though they believed Xia Feng couldn't threaten them, the two felt a fury like being provoked by an ant.
Xia Feng had no desire to waste words with them and directly summoned the Void Cauldron.
The Void Cauldron was inherently a Divine Artifact, and Xia Feng originally lacked Divine Power to drive it, finding it somewhat challenging.
Now, while the Divine Fire had not fully ignited, a shadow had formed, and his cultivation had transformed into Divine Power, making it easier to control the Void Cauldron.
He didn't give the opponents a chance to react. Xia Feng clenched his right fist tightly, the Great Dao Rules of Purple Thunder coiling in his palm before being compressed in his grip.
Then he delivered a heavy blow to the cauldron, an invisible ripple extending from it, striking the two Martial Gods in mid-air fiercely.
Countless dense Purple Thunders followed the ripple, drilling into their bodies and wreaking havoc within.
Both simultaneously spat out a mouthful of blood.
Dongfang Lezhi's face was filled with shock: "A Divine Artifact?!"
Dongfang Lechuan beside him showed a hint of greed but quickly realized the purpose of their mission was likely about this artifact, explaining the order to capture Xia Feng alive.
Relying on their higher cultivation than Xia Feng and outnumbering him, they quickly gathered the Great Dao Rules of Earth in their palms, merging them to apply pressure on Xia Feng.
Xia Feng showed no fear, the Great Dao Rules of Purple Thunder in his palm seemingly transforming into the Great Dao Rules of Charm.
Although it was called the Great Dao Rules of Charm, it seemed to contain traces of the Great Dao Rules of Music.
With the Void Cauldron obstructing vision, the two didn't notice the change, only seeing Xia Feng strike the massive Divine Artifact again.
An invisible ripple surged upward once more.
The two assumed it was the same attack, defending with the Great Dao of Earth, still intent on an assault on Xia Feng.
If they could capture Xia Feng, there was no need to worry about a mere Demigod's attack power.
However, as the ripple gradually enveloped the two, they experienced ringing near their ears, their vision seemingly deprived, seeing something completely different from before.
The two immediately sensed something wrong.
This wasn't the previous Great Dao of Purple Thunder; it was the Great Dao of Music, with potential blinding or Illusion Realm effects.
