Become a king right from the start, beginning with receiving rewards from all the heavens.

A Grandmaster at the peak of the realm, whether in the Great Xia or other forces.

They are all capable of being the patriarchs of a powerful force!

Unfortunately, it couldn't even last a single move against the Dharma Aspect Realm expert.

There are cultivators in this world who can defy the laws of immortality, but they are definitely not the kind of people that a powerful family like the Hou family could cultivate.

"Hiss... That's terrible..."

...

"After seeing this, I don't want to eat meat anymore..."

...

"Ugh... Why the hell did you bring up meat? I just cooked a Cloud Python Beast today..."

Above the Heavenly Punishment Division branch, Mu Wenhan's aura of Dharma power was overwhelming the entire city.

His gaze involuntarily drifted to several special places in the city, places where his aura could not reach.

He knew in his heart that those were the top aristocratic families of the Great Xia Dynasty, with beings at the Celestial Realm and the Shattered Realm among them.

"One of the eight great families of Changzhou? That's all??"

The insulting tone left the other members of the so-called aristocratic families in Changzhou secretly gritting their teeth.

However, they dared not even consider standing up, for the Hou family had already set an example for everyone!

The patriarch has appeared; the patriarch has died!

"So, gentlemen, do you still wish to stop me from clearing out the Changzhou branch?"

The Northern King's advisor was sweating profusely, and he was deeply grateful to the head of the Hou family.

If it weren't for this person stepping forward in time to "prove his innocence with his death," I'm afraid I would have perished today!

"Lord Mu, I apologize for disturbing you!"

Without the slightest hesitation, the Northern King's advisor vanished from the spot in a flash!

Six local power representatives remained!

At this moment, a document appeared in Mu Wenhan's hand, and then his voice echoed throughout the city!

"The Hou family of Changzhou abused their power for personal gain, tarnished the reputation of the Heavenly Punishment Bureau, and violently resisted it!"

"By order of the Benevolent King, anyone who dares to obstruct the Heavenly Punishment Division from reclaiming its power shall have their family and clan exterminated!"

boom!!

At this moment, the entire city was in an uproar!

"Hiss... That's ruthless, absolutely ruthless..."

...

"Renwang is ruthless, but Mu Wenhan is even more ruthless!"

Inside a sprawling mansion in Changzhou City, two figures, one old and one young, stood in the void, their divine senses directed towards the Heavenly Punishment Division branch.

The boy asked, "Ancestor, the Hou family is backed by the Northern King. Aren't you afraid of the Heavenly Punishment Division?"

Old man: "Afraid? Afraid of what?"

"For the sake of fulfilling the two-year agreement, anyone who dares to obstruct his recapture of local branches will be his mortal enemy!"

The boy said, "I really envy Niou's power!"

"If our family had that kind of background, my father wouldn't have...!"

The old man looked at the young man with a gentle expression. "Feng'er, once the Changzhou branch is stable, go and join it!"

"Ancestor, why is this?" the boy asked in surprise.

"Our family's enemies are powerful, and even our patriarch couldn't guarantee that the family would survive this calamity!"

"At least in the Heavenly Punishment Division, they can save your life!"

...

Above the Hou family's residence, numerous guards had already surrounded the area!

Mu Wenhan's divine sense enveloped the area from afar, and everyone above the Purple Mansion Realm was suppressed and crippled by his divine sense!

"kill!"

The word "kill" had barely left his lips when countless crossbow bolts rained down on the people inside the mansion!

At this moment, the eyes of the guards of the Heavenly Punishment Division showed no emotion whatsoever.

Anyone who dares to stand in His Highness's way will be crushed!

The situation at the Changzhou City branch was instantly relayed to all subsequent branches.

Those branches that were originally controlled by local forces immediately withdrew their personnel!

That's terrifying! The consequences of wiping out entire clans are so severe. Anyone who wants to come can come!

...

Inside the Yongzhou branch of the Heavenly Punishment Bureau, a staff member from the Qiongwang Mansion sat in the main seat.

Below them were the branch's many high-ranking officials; news from Changzhou had not yet reached them.

"Gentlemen, we must retain control of this branch this time."

"His Highness said that if you can protect yourselves, you will certainly receive many benefits in the future!"

"Don't worry, I will personally step forward if necessary!"

Just then, a subordinate from the branch came in to report that the people from the Heavenly Punishment Division had arrived.

"Gentlemen, go out and meet them now!"

...

The air above the branch office was thick with the presence of thousands of people.

This made most of the people inside turn pale, after all, what kind of combat power could the Heavenly Punishment Division branch have?

As soon as the leader and his entourage emerged, they were shocked by the aura emanating from the group of people from headquarters in the air.

Eighteen Grandmasters...

One hundred and eighty Purple Mansion Realm cultivators...

"This...this...how could this be..."

Is this still the headquarters they know?

It should be noted that the head of this branch is only at the late stage of the Grandmaster realm.

The two deputy directors are only at the early stage of Grandmaster, which means that there are only three Grandmasters in the entire state branch.

This shows how much the Heavenly Punishment Bureau had declined before!

"You're Ge Tianming, the branch manager?"

The head of the Yongzhou branch took a deep breath, and the thought of the power behind him instantly made him less nervous.

"That's right, I am the master here!"

"What brings you esteemed personnel from headquarters here today?"

...

"Hmph!" Zou Run snorted coldly.

"You know the answer already, so why haven't you come to report back to headquarters after being asked several times?"

"According to the regulations of the Heavenly Punishment Division, anyone who disobeys orders from headquarters will be dismissed from their post and escorted back to headquarters to await interrogation!"

...

"What arrogance! Let's see who dares to dismiss me from my post today!"

With the support of his family and the Qiongwang Mansion, Ge Tianming had no reason to fear the mere people at headquarters.

"Arrogant!"

As soon as the words were spoken, a figure suddenly shot out from among the eighteen Earthly Fiends.

Before the person even arrived, the True Essence Blade Light sliced ​​through the air and instantly slashed towards Ge Tianming.

Ge Tianming swept his arms, sending two fist-shaped imprints, each a hundred feet in size, hurtling towards the blade's edge.

As a fellow Grandmaster in the late stage, he was confident that he was no weaker than others; otherwise, he would not have competed his way out of the family to take up the position of Chief.

The next moment, his expression changed drastically!

His fist imprint was destroyed, but the blade's light continued its relentless charge.

At that moment, the other two deputy commanders immediately launched their own attacks.

This gave Ge Tianming a chance to evade!

"Ignorance is bliss!"

Li Yun, the Earth Observer, extended both palms, and his true essence flowed out of his body like a rushing stream.

The next moment, a tiger of true essence appeared in the air and roared to the sky.

It caused everyone in the branch below the Purple Mansion Realm to go limp, their faces turning pale as they nearly collapsed.

The tiger leaped into the sky, taking a single step and instantly appearing before the three.

As its powerful forelimbs slammed down, its tiger tail, like a steel whip, simultaneously lashed out at the two deputy commanders.

The three of them immediately made their moves. Ge Tianming's fist was covered with fist marks as he swung it forward.

Click!

Intense pain instantly enveloped his entire body, and before he could react, the tiger's claw pierced through his chest.

At the same time, the bodies of the two deputy chiefs were tattered and torn apart by the tiger's tail!

Bang!Bang!Bang!

Three thuds echoed as the ground pounded, and the atmosphere here became extremely quiet!

He instantly killed three Grandmaster-level experts with a single strike!

At that moment, the same gasps of surprise echoed throughout Yongzhou City.

"Grandmaster-level invincible combat power?"

...

"How dare you!!"

"How dare you kill members of the Ge family!"

A figure exuding the aura of a Grandmaster descended upon this place in an instant, approaching from afar!
