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

"Damn it, they really want to kill me!!"

A hint of regret and a touch of madness flashed in the eyes of the prince's advisors!

He formed a hand seal, and his internal energy instantly surged!

Then, the blood flowed backwards within his body, and in an instant, a trace of blood flowed from each of his seven orifices.

"You forced me to do this!"

not good!!

This is a reversal of true essence, a choice to self-destruct!

Some powerful figures in the city immediately noticed the anomaly. At the same moment, a golden light suddenly rose from Yongzhou City!

It instantly enveloped the entire city!

The staff member's figure rapidly expanded, then vanished from the spot in the next instant.

A long, blurry shadow appeared in the void behind them!

"Self-destruction?"

These two words immediately appeared in the minds of the Eighteen Earthly Fiends.

Under the formation, they were of one mind, and the energy white tiger suddenly pounced on each other.

"roll!!"

A staff member from the Prince's Palace slapped down, colliding with the white tiger.

boom!!

The white tiger instantly exploded, and a tattered mass of flesh fell out from it.

However, at this point, no one cared about the deceased head of the Ge family anymore.

The staff member froze, and mouthfuls of blood gushed out.

But the next moment it rushed towards the Eighteen Earthly Fiends!

"snort!"

"Useless effort!" Zou Run waved his hand dismissively!

The array diagram spun rapidly, and eighteen chains of true essence appeared out of thin air!

It instantly passed through the air and locked the staff member's body in mid-air.

He was completely bound by chains, with only his pair of bloodshot eyes visible.

"ah!!!"

"I refuse to accept this!!!"

A dull thud echoed through the chains, resounding throughout the heavens and earth!

The next moment, a violent explosion rang out!

boom!!!

The True Essence Chains were blasted to pieces, but the shockwave was very weak.

If it weren't for the chains, this branch, which covers several kilometers, would have been razed to the ground!

While things calmed down here, Yongzhou City could not remain calm!

The shock that the Heavenly Punishment Division brought them today will be deeply imprinted in everyone's hearts.

"The world has changed..."

"The authority of all branches of the Heavenly Punishment Bureau in Yongzhou will be completely revoked!"

"Notify our personnel to immediately evacuate the Heavenly Punishment Division branch!"

"Niou's advance is unstoppable..."

The array diagram disappeared, and Zou Run waved his hand to give the order.

"Men, immediately clear out the Yongzhou City branch!"

Behind him stood a thousand guards, bows and crossbows in hand.

The next moment, a dense barrage of crossbow bolts rained down on the guards below.

These people were not from the previous Heavenly Punishment Division, but came from various powerful forces.

At this moment, they are facing a one-sided massacre!

Not a single force behind them stood up to stop them!

"Sigh... I hope their deaths will earn the forgiveness of the Heavenly Punishment Division..."

In reality, unless the Heavenly Punishment Bureau has gone mad, they wouldn't choose this time to carry out a full purge!

After all, everyone here comes from various powerful forces in Yongzhou City!

However, we still need to make an example of them!

"The Ge family of Yongzhou City has disobeyed headquarters' orders and colluded with outsiders to seize control of the branch!"

"Today, their property shall be confiscated, their entire clan exterminated, and they shall be executed!"

The authoritative voice instantly ignited the entire state capital!

No one expected that the Heavenly Punishment Division would be so cruel.

They killed the head of the family and his direct descendant, and now they want to exterminate the entire Ge family!

...

Not only did Yongzhou and Changzhou each wipe out a family, but Shizhou and Shengzhou did the same, each wiping out a family under the leadership of two Grandmasters.

In just three days, the headquarters of the Heavenly Punishment Division cleared out and reclaimed the authority of its branches at all levels in the four states.

When the news spread throughout the Great Xia, it immediately caused a huge uproar!

So whoever becomes the head of the state branch is the next target to have their entire family wiped out?

Many people were genuinely frightened; they were terrified by the methods employed by the Heavenly Punishment Division.

"Damn it, wasn't it said that Niou wouldn't dare to act recklessly?"

"This is what they call 'not daring to mess around'? They're quick to wipe out entire families! Let whoever wants to do it, do it!"

"I'm not going to be the head of this department anymore!"

In Hongzhou, Yongzhou's neighbor to the north, the head of the Heavenly Punishment Division's branch left a resignation letter and immediately disappeared.

What a load of rubbish! He didn't gain much benefit and is now facing the risk of his entire clan being wiped out!

Those high-ranking figures, why don't they send their own people to oversee the branch offices?

The man ran away cursing!

There are many such examples. What happened at the Shishu branch thoroughly demonstrated Niou's ruthless methods and murderous intent.

It can be said that the numerous princes' plans to seize power in the Heavenly Punishment Bureau almost failed at this moment!

Even those forces that have allied with them are now unwilling to confront the Heavenly Punishment Division.

The Heavenly Punishment Division headquarters is in the right and also has the advantage in strength.

No matter how you look at it, this is an unequal contest!

...

Inside the Qiongwang Mansion, a shattering sound came from the main hall.

Bang! !

"Damn the Heavenly Punishment Division, damn the Benevolent King!"

"How dare they actually kill my advisor!"

At this moment, the subordinates below also had gloomy expressions.

Just a few days ago, we were brainstorming ideas together, but in the blink of an eye, we were killed in Yongzhou!

Moreover, there was nowhere to seek justice. Outsiders who trespassed into the Heavenly Punishment Division were killed, and the fact that their families were not implicated was already a favor to the King of Qiong.

This time, the losses can be described as devastating!

"Your Highness, we have lost our agent in Yongzhou City, and now is not the time to lose our temper."

"We must quickly choose a new spokesperson, otherwise Yongzhou City will be divided up among the other princes!"

Despite the Ge family's relatively weak strength, as the representatives of the King of Qiong, they wield considerable power in Yongzhou City!

Whether in officialdom or in the martial arts world of cultivation.

"snort!"

"Father is being too biased this time; he actually ordered that no one else be involved in this matter!"

"Otherwise, how could the branch offices in the four continents have been taken back so quickly!"

Everyone fell silent, realizing that their prince was far too greedy.

Don't you realize that you were enfeoffed as a king many years earlier than Prince Ren, and you have the Duke as your backer, and you have won over countless forces in the court and among the people?

If His Majesty does not issue the order, Prince Ren will not be able to reclaim the four major state divisions.

He can only control one Xiazhou branch at most!

"We must immediately choose a new spokesperson; Yongzhou City cannot be lost!"

...

Inside the Prince Ren's Mansion in the Imperial City, Xia Zhaoyan looked at the vitality in the system and a regretful expression appeared on his face.

"It's a pity that Mu Wenhan and those two grandmasters aren't part of the system."

"Otherwise, there might be a better chance of survival this time!"

The system only recognizes enemies killed by itself and other powerful beings, and only those enemies can have their life force extracted.

Inside the palace, after listening to the report from the Imperial Guards, Emperor Xia rose and walked down the steps.

"So, in just three days, the Heavenly Punishment Division has taken control of all its branches across the four continents!"

...

"Yes, Your Majesty. Currently, the heads of the four regional divisions are all Grandmasters."

"He has ten Purple Mansion Realm experts under his command, some of whom serve as department heads in various prefectures."

"And they even left behind five hundred Innate Realm guards!"

Suddenly, Xia Hongwu stopped in his tracks.

"I am very curious, where did those talismanic artifacts in the hands of those guards come from?"
