Chapter 495 Xia Tomb (1/2)
The group of chancellors did not expect that Emperor Xia would personally go on this crusade towards the Youshi's tribe. It should be known that there was still an exceeding Qi cultivator lurking around and it would seem that this person had surpassed the level of the walking celestial of the earth, Xuan Zhen QI Zi. If this person's background had not been found out and with Emperor Xia simply taking his leave, unintentionally, this would be a future trouble.
If this was during common times then it would not be that bad but there was also Tianyi who was being imprisoned on top of Xia Tai.
This would even cast a layer of shadow for this future trouble. However, if Emperor Xia was a little wiser, he would not dare to take such measures
Emperor Xia's scorching gaze swept back and forth along the group of chancellors and he burst out in laughter, ”I know what all of you are worried about. I have set the date for the punitive expedition towards Youshi to be after half a year.”
It was then the group of chancellors slowly let go of their breath. There were also people who thought just what did Youshi did that offended Emperor Xia that would spur the emperor to personally go on this crusade. If they were to catch on the news of Emperor Xia going on a punitive expedition towards them, they could quickly surrender and do something to show to Emperor Xia and patch up their mistakes. Perhaps then, they could dispel this military calamity.
After all, Da Xia being the center of the universe, it was still true for the country to go crusading in all directions. Nonetheless, the underlying current within this country could only be stifled with Emperor Xia personally attending to Diqiu. With him simply leaving Diqiu to go crusading, if there were any changes, the loss practically outweighed the gain.
Emperor Xia acted willfully and this war was set. The news quickly spread and reached the Eastern Barbarians with unusual speed. Finally, it reached Mount Meng where the Youshi tribe was.
During this moment, Shen Lian traveled in the wide Diqiu. The side of the Xia Canal was the most densely populated area. Since the beginning till now, it could say that it had always been a habit for humans to settle down near waterfronts.
After all, before any life could directly absorb the Qi of heaven and earth and enter into inedia, they could not separate with water. Even some Qi cultivators who were cultivating till they reached the stage of inedia, they still needed to feed on the wind and drink the dew initially. It is only until their skills had deepened then only could they really cut off cooked food.
Diqiu is divided by East, West, South, and North and each division is entirely different.
The North City would, of course, be Wang Cheng and East City would be the residence for other aristocrat families. The South City is for the sub-first grade ruling class. West City is where people of good and evil mingle, it could be said that this is where the lowly people are.
Nonetheless, in this land of wilderness, there were hidden dragons and snakes. The Qi dynamic there was practically multifarious. Even if Shen Lian did not go in deep it, it was also hard for him to determine what exactly was going on and what kind of formidable figures hid within.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click visiting.
However, no matter how formidable the other was, he could never be as formidable as Emperor Xia and him.
Generally speaking, Shen Lian was walking along the Xia Canal. This morning with that kind of incident that happened, the warlike Xia Clan did not panicked. Rather, they started strolling out to display the tenacity of their great country.
The confidence of the people from Xia Clan showed on their faces, which became a very striking comparison to the people in the same area.
This was the quality formed after a thousand years of undefeated battles, ever-victorious and plunders in all directions. Da Xia became the center of the universe, not only because they occupied the best land but it was also because their unique civilization and bloodlines were higher than the Four Barbarians.
Shen Lian's mental state melted into the civilized air of Diqiu and he felt the spirit of the Xia Clan. It was vast, arrogant and noble. Shen Lian recalled a book he read once. That book was called 'The Book of History in Chinese'. Within it, it wrote, ”the gaudiness of the hat and clothes are called 'hua', the country with many people be called 'Xia'.”
In the past, on Earth, there was a big country with the name 'Xia'. That legendary dynasty was even somewhat similar to the Xia Kingdom today, they were that powerful. However, Shen Lian was truly clear that this was not Earth's history. Not only did this place has Qi cultivators and Buddhist sects, there were even saints and demons. The people of the Xia Clan were born with divine powers and they crusaded in all directions.
However, he still could not help but to associate these two 'Xia' together. He had a feeling that there was a connection between these two.
Unknowingly, Shen Lian had walked through most of the places in Diqiu. And then, he stopped outside of a spot. That was the ancestral hall of Da Xia. Behind the ancestral hall was the Xia tomb. The head of the Xia Canal was there.
Shen Lian stood on the side of a stone bridge. There was a banyan tree next to him and its vines and roots shielded him. Even getting near the stone bridge, it was hard to see him. And his line of vision directly reached the ancestral hall. He saw that ancient, deep and serene building. It was like a ferocious beast that was lying low and deep in slumber, it neither talked nor did it say anything. However, if it was to be startled, there would be unforeseen calamities.
