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

Before the news could spread, Shi Guanyin had already returned to the Prince's Palace.

"Your Highness, I have completed my mission!"

"You don't know, the Zhang family patriarch actually sacrificed his divine soul."

"This battle was incredibly tough!"

Xia Zhaoyan watched with a smile as Shi Guanyin asked for credit in a high-pitched voice.

But they laughed and scolded her instead.

"Speak properly, or you'll give me goosebumps."

...

"Exactly, do they really think you're some unmarried, virgin?"

As Xia Zhaoyan listened to this embroidered voice, it was as if he had returned to his past life...

"Oh, thank you for your hard work."

"How would you like me to reward you?"

Upon hearing this, Shi Guanyin immediately straightened up from his embrace.

A flawless face looked at Xia Zhaoyan, her watery eyes filled with tenderness.

"Your Highness, I want to have you all to myself for the next month!"

Before Xia Zhaoyan could speak, the words had barely left his mouth.

Several voices immediately voiced their opposition.

"No!"

"dream!"

"wishful thinking!"

At this moment, Xia Zhaoyan suddenly realized something was wrong and a bad premonition rose in his heart.

There are only four people now. If I have more women around me in the future, won't things get chaotic?

He couldn't bear to refuse any stunningly beautiful woman; after all, he was a man of many loves.

In my previous life, I was an ordinary person, living a life of hardship.

In this life, I shall awaken and wield power over the world, and rest my head on the lap of a beautiful woman!

This was the imperial life he had always dreamed of, but unfortunately, the world was too complicated.

In the desolate wilderness, there are other human overlords, the enemy of the demon race, and the Heavenly Dao above the nine heavens.

I don't know how long it will be before we reach this kind of life.

Power is a man's driving force; once he has experienced it, no one will ever give it up again!

"One month is not enough; my current cultivation level is inferior to yours."

"I'm afraid I'll work myself to death in my palace..."

...

The storm is coming!

In the palace, after Emperor Xia heard Wu Ji's report, the entire hall became extremely quiet.

Whether it was Eunuch Lu or Gao Zhan and the others, they all wore expressions of shock at this moment.

It felt like a long time had passed, yet it also felt like only a moment of silence.

The Xia Emperor finally spoke slowly, "He really did wipe out a powerful clan!"

When the guess came true, even the Xia Emperor was extremely shocked.

"Another maid who has never appeared before, and she is also a powerful expert with invincible combat strength in the Broken Realm."

"Even I, at this moment, want to curse the Bu Tian Sect for being utterly inhuman!"

Finally, everyone came to their senses.

Whether it's the destruction of a powerful family or the possession of an invincible maid in the Shattered Realm by the King of Benevolence.

Both of these events were momentous occasions that shook the world!

"Your Majesty, it's time to consider how to handle the aftermath!"

Gao Zhan couldn't help but speak up, which gave Emperor Xia a headache.

"That brat, he had his fun, but he left me with this mess to clean up."

Everyone was speechless. Your Majesty, what time is it?

You still have the mood to say these things.

"What are your thoughts, my esteemed ministers?"

...

"Your Majesty, the first priority is to appease the aristocratic families."

"To be honest, Prince Ren was too reckless this time. He could easily cause internal strife within the Great Xia!"

The Xia Emperor's face immediately darkened. "Hmph!"

"Appease them? When the Zhang family pressured the Heavenly Punishment Division, why didn't they come out to stop them?"

"My son dared to wipe out an aristocratic family, does he really think I wouldn't dare?"

"Guards, draft the imperial edict!"

"Tell all the powerful families: anyone who dares to step forward, I will annihilate!"

At this moment, Emperor Xia was filled with domineering aura.

The people in the hall seemed to be seeing the Xia Emperor when he had just ascended the throne.

He was just as domineering back then, but the complex political situation had dulled his former brilliance.

Soon, a guard rushed in, respectfully took the imperial edict, and slowly withdrew from the hall.

Lu Gonggong couldn't help but think to himself, "It seems that King Ren should be making an announcement soon."

Otherwise, His Majesty wouldn't have openly warned the aristocratic families!

"Your Majesty, the destruction of the Zhang family has an impact no less than causing a catastrophe."

"Your Highness is cutting yourself off from the civil service and from the neutral faction!"

"If you don't punish His Highness and give these people an explanation, it might really cause internal strife if His Highness wants to succeed to the throne!"

After thinking for a moment, Gao Zhan gritted his teeth and stepped forward to speak.

He knew that saying this would offend His Majesty and King Ren.

But for the sake of the Great Xia Dynasty, he had no choice but to step forward.

Of all the people here, none of them are suitable to speak except him.

"Punishment? Hmph, I won't."

"As for King Ni's succession to the throne, that's his problem."

"A qualified emperor is not qualified to succeed to the throne if he cannot solve these problems."

The Xia Emperor waved his hand dismissively, "What kind of instructions are you giving?"

The body of the last person to be confessed to was still warm at this point.

Unless those people don't want to live anymore and dare to ask themselves for an explanation.

"Then... Your Majesty, the position of Prime Minister is vacant."

...

"If there's a vacancy, just elect one! Our Great Xia has plenty of officials!"

......

When Zhou Yuanshan received the news from Fengming Prefecture, he was completely dumbfounded.

Then a chilling feeling filled my heart.

"Niou...he...how dare he..."

The Zhou family behind Zhou Yuanshan is also one of the great families of Daxia.

Moreover, their foundation and strength are not as good as the Zhang family of Fengming Prefecture.

"Has Ren-wang gone mad? Doesn't he realize the enormous consequences of wiping out the Zhang family?"

Trying to calm his initial panic, he began to unravel the ins and outs of the matter.

First, an elder of the Zhang family died, and then they attacked Prince Ren in the imperial court.

"They went to the Heavenly Punishment Bureau and got the result they wanted..."

Suddenly, his eyes widened, and he muttered to himself.

"So, it turns out that Prince Ren had already harbored murderous intentions in court that day!"

"Your Majesty, are you truly not afraid of a coup d'état by our aristocratic families?!"

...

Inside the Crown Prince's residence in the Imperial City, Xia Qiming silently stared into the distance.

However, his right hand was clenched into a fist, clearly indicating that he was extremely shaken.

"How could he have subordinates with unparalleled combat power at the Shattered Realm?"

"Could they be protectors sent from the ancestral land?"

"That's not right either, there's no such person in the family!"

...

"Your Highness, what should we do now?"

"Should we join forces with the powerful clans to force Prince Ni to abdicate?"

...

After listening, Xia Qiming thought for a moment and then shook his head.

"It's useless. No aristocratic families have reached the Dragon Transformation Realm. Their so-called coup is a joke."

"Which powerful family could withstand a slap from that woman?"

"Let's wait and see. I have a feeling that Prince Ni might be about to reveal his hand!"

Xia Qiming had a very strong premonition; otherwise, it wouldn't make sense why Renwang would suddenly become so high-profile.

The demise of a powerful family clears the way for him to take his place at the table.

"I must say, this imperial brother is truly a formidable rival!"

...

When the Xia Emperor's edict spread, all the noble families concealed their anger.

No one dared to disobey the Xia Emperor's decree. Even if they were furious, they could only watch helplessly as the noble families' reputations were trampled upon by the Benevolent King.

At the Demon Suppression Mansion, Feng Xiuyuan put down the intelligence and then gave the orders.

"Notify our forces that they should never offend the Heavenly Punishment Division again!"

"Nioh has already become a force to be reckoned with, sigh..."

Watching helplessly as the other side grows step by step, stepping on the faces of nobles, the military, and aristocratic families to reach such heights!
