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

Xia Zhaoyan glanced sideways, observing the reactions of the people around him.

The kings also looked surprised, which relieved him slightly.

He was afraid that these people would unite against him again without his knowledge.

"It seems this is the Sky King's own idea—a preemptive strike?"

"I'd like to see what tricks you're up to!"

The Xia Emperor sat high above, his expression obscured from view, but a majestic yet slightly curious voice rang out.

"Oh, what does the Heavenly King want to sue the Heavenly Punishment Department for?"

King Qiong took a deep breath and then said respectfully.

"Father, the Imperial Treasury is in charge of allocating resources for the various government agencies."

"As one of the junior ministers, I have been involved throughout this process!"

Everyone was completely confused, wondering what the King of the Sky was trying to say!

Even Xia Zhaoyan was puzzled at this moment, wondering what this guy wanted to do.

"Due to statistical reasons, coupled with the surge in personnel at the Heavenly Punishment Division over the past year or so."

"Therefore, the resources have not been distributed properly, which is a dereliction of duty on my part at Taifu Temple!"

"However, there is one thing I am puzzled about."

As he spoke, he turned to Xia Zhaoyan and said, "Renwang, can you explain to me why there is no support from the imperial court?"

"How can your Heavenly Punishment Division still support so many people and continue to expand its manpower?"

Before everyone could react, King Qiong bowed to Emperor Xia once again.

"Therefore, Father Emperor, I implore the court to dispatch a joint investigation team composed of the Censorate, the Court of Judicial Review, and the Ministry of Justice to conduct an investigation into the Heavenly Punishment Division!"

boom!!

The officials below gasped in shock. King Qiong's move was indeed ruthless!

The Censorate and the Ministry of Justice—these are two powerful institutions that Prince Ni had offended!

Many of them are still dissatisfied with Niou, after all, the Heavenly Punishment Division eliminated their own people!

Moreover, after what King Qiong said, everyone realized what had happened!

The internal resources of the Heavenly Punishment Division seem to be problematic... a huge problem!!

God knows how they were able to expand so rapidly without the support of the imperial court's resources.

"Father, I suspect the resources within the Heavenly Punishment Division are of dubious origin!"

King Qiong was extremely pleased at this moment. "Little brat, you really think you can take me down just because you've caught me by the scrutiny?"

His sudden attack today was personally guided by his maternal clan ancestor.

In the words of our ancestors, we cannot passively endure the opponent's attacks.

We should take the initiative and learn from the other side, stirring up trouble in the court!

Judging from the expressions of the officials, the King of Qiong knew that his actions today had indeed achieved a very good effect.

So he couldn't wait to point to King Ren.

"Royal brother, I would like to ask you on behalf of everyone: where exactly does the Heavenly Punishment Division obtain its resources?"

This was a question that the Xia Emperor should have asked, but no one cared about this trivial matter.

They were also eager to know how Niou would explain himself!

Mu Wenhan and several high-ranking members of the Heavenly Punishment Division looked extremely anxious.

Just as they were about to step forward, they saw Niou shake his head at them.

Immediately, Renwang opened his mouth slightly and uttered two words that shocked everyone.

"I found it!"

puff! !

Some people couldn't help but burst out laughing!

Immediately, various suppressed laughs filled the court!

My goodness, Your Highness, this is the Chaotian Palace! Can't you be a little more serious?

What a great "finding it," he said it with such confidence and conviction!

Cough cough!

Even the Xia Emperor at the head of the table was speechless. How come he hadn't realized that his son was such a rascal!

"Found it..." King Qiong looked completely bewildered!

He immediately realized that Niou was playing a trick on him!

He trembled with rage, stammering, "You...you..."

"What's wrong with me?" Xia Zhaoyan looked at King Qiong with innocent eyes!

He couldn't help but scoff inwardly, "Tch, it was just picked up."

To him, the resources rewarded by the system were no different from those he found!

"Niou, do you think I'm a three-year-old child?!"

"I think you're just feeling guilty and afraid to answer my question directly!"

...

At this moment, Xia Zhaoyan turned around, stepped out of the ranks, and came to the center of the main hall.

"It certainly wasn't something you picked up off the street, but don't forget how many powerful families I've wiped out under the Heavenly Punishment Division!"

"These powers, which have existed for thousands or even tens of thousands of years, all possess astonishing amounts of accumulated resources."

"For the Heavenly Punishment Division, isn't this practically free money?"

"What, does Your Majesty still have any doubts? Tell me, and I will give you a perfect explanation!"

Although it seemed like a joke, it instantly made the atmosphere in the court extremely quiet!

At this moment, in their eyes, there was a low-key and reserved Prince Ren, who could be described as a peerless gentleman.

It was like an ancient beast, exuding a strong killing intent!

Yes, it seems everyone has forgotten just how many powerful families the Heavenly Punishment Division has confiscated.

It's not that they forgot, but rather that people subconsciously didn't want to do the statistics!

When King Ren himself uttered the words "confiscate their property and exterminate their clan," a chilling wind seemed to sweep through the Chaotian Hall!

He has never killed a single person, but the number of people who died under his orders is in the tens of thousands!

Everyone suddenly realized that Prince Ren was the prince who had killed the most people among all the princes!

At that moment, some of the officials couldn't help but use their divine eyes to look at the top of the King's head!

Suddenly, a surge of malevolent energy formed a blood dragon above his head!

hold head high! !

In the darkness, a malevolent dragon's roar echoed throughout the hall!

Immediately afterwards, several muffled groans were heard, and it was seen that some of the men had their eyes closed, with a trace of blood left at the corner of their eyes!

hiss! ! !

A series of sharp gasps filled the air; everyone had clearly seen the actions of those gentlemen.

At this moment, even the King of Qiong couldn't help but take a few steps back!

He felt a chill run down his spine!

Just a moment ago, he was next to Xia Zhaoyan and seemed to hear an endless, howling wind!

Xia Zhaoyan seemed completely unaffected. It was just a mere baleful aura; what was there to make a fuss about?

Controlling a violent institution like the Heavenly Punishment Division, how could they not have taken a lot of lives? You'll get used to it!

At this moment, he stepped forward and bowed.

"Your Majesty, I also have something to report!"

The Xia Emperor at the head of the table had a complex expression in his eyes. If it weren't for the fact that the officials had used their divine eyes to activate the Benevolent King's fortune today...

He had no idea that his son's fortune had actually condensed into a dragon!

Even though it's a blood dragon, it's still a dragon!

If this kid keeps going like this, I won't be able to cover up his ambitions anymore!

"What brings you here, Your Majesty?"

...

"Father, I want to file a lawsuit against King Qiong!"

The officials were not surprised at all; this was the biggest highlight of today's court assembly!

In other words, it was just that the King of the Sky suddenly struck first, disrupting the original 'rhythm'!

Now, Niou has "corrected the wrongs" and brought the "rhythm" back to its original trajectory!
