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

The power of the Heavenly Punishment Division means that every major move it makes will attract considerable attention from the outside world.

Of the more than thirty princes, only Prince Ren is currently enjoying such high-level treatment.

"Oh no, this looks like something serious has happened. Even Niou has personally intervened!"

...

As a result, not only the Duke's Mansion, but also the princes, official families, and even the Emperor of Xia sent people over.

When they saw that the people from the Heavenly Punishment Division were not using the teleportation array, but instead speeding towards the outside of the city...

Among the various factions, some suddenly realized the truth.

"Gentlemen, consider this: what lies outside the city?"

What's outside the city? Of course, there are vast residential areas.

And military camps...

"No way, is the Heavenly Punishment Division going to cause trouble for the military?"

When this speculation arose, the military personnel's faces immediately darkened!

Not only was he keeping a close eye on Niou's movements, but he was also praying in his heart that it wasn't the military.

"Fools, besides the military city, there's another force outside. Have you forgotten?"

royal!

At that moment, those two words came to everyone's mind.

Yes, they are definitely royalty.

"That's right, they're definitely going to cause trouble for the royal family!"

The military personnel were relieved, but everyone else was visibly shocked.

Could it be that King Niou is using the momentum of destroying the Samsara Palace to target the royal family again?

A moment of silence fell over everyone. They all knew that the assassination attempt was orchestrated by the Samsara Palace.

The way Niou framed the other was so crude that using it as an excuse clearly crossed some lines.

"Gentlemen, we cannot allow Prince Ni to act recklessly like this!"

"Today he can frame the royal family, using this as a means to target them."

"So next time, could he frame us?"

This is not how you fight. You, Renwang, destroyed the Zhang family, a powerful clan, before.

Everyone let this matter slide because you control the Heavenly Punishment Division and because the Xia Emperor personally put pressure on you.

Now, they are preparing to target the royal family on trumped-up charges.

This is truly utterly shameless, crossing the line maintained by the Great Xia Dynasty.

"That's right, we can't let him run wild like this!" Xia Linyuan's divine sense instantly spoke.

He was just thinking about how to unite with the other princes to force Prince Ren to hand over Bai Yujing.

Renwang himself is about to break the rules, which is to trample on the bottom line maintained by the upper echelons of the Great Xia.

How could such a thing happen in a civilized society?

"Crown Prince Lin Yuan is right, we must stop King Ren's operation!"

...

"Let's go, follow him and be prepared to stop him!"

Although everyone dislikes the royal family from their own perspective.

But if I don't stop Niou this time, I might be the one next time.

Then, a scene that shocked everyone in the imperial city unfolded.

In the various princes' residences, almost all the princes simultaneously boarded carriages and headed out of the city under the escort of guards.

Besides the princes, there were also people from official families, nobles, and military personnel.

Inside the palace, Lu Nanyue spoke in a low voice.

"Your Majesty, look at this..."

The Xia Emperor's expression was serious; he hadn't expected things to develop this way so suddenly.

Deep down, he was indeed happy to see his son suppressing and targeting the royal family.

So they never intended to stop it and pretended not to know anything about it.

But what he just witnessed made him realize that he had underestimated the reactions of the major powers.

Or rather, he completely ignored the reactions of the major powers.

Indeed, if a force loses its bottom line, its demise is not far off.

"Eunuch Lu, you should go there in person on my behalf."

"Remember, once you've gone there, don't rush to take the lead. Respond appropriately based on the specific circumstances."

"I believe that with Zhao'er's intelligence, he wouldn't do something so irrational."

Lu Nanyue bowed and accepted the order, then quickly walked out.

Emperor Xia rose and looked out of the city, extending his divine sense towards the outside.

...

After Xia Zhaoyan and the Heavenly Punishment Army reunited, Guo Jing's voice rang in his ears.

"Your Highness, many people have arrived in the city."

"Not only are there representatives from various powerful factions, but the other princes have also come in person!"

At this moment, Xia Zhaoyan still hadn't guessed what these people wanted to do.

Is it just so you can watch the show up close?

We are all powerful cultivators who have achieved great success in our cultivation, is it really necessary to go to such lengths?

How did I develop the habit of just watching the drama unfold?

"Ignore them, let's go, surround the royal family for me!"

As soon as the order was given, everyone from the Heavenly Punishment Division, including the Heavenly Punishment Army, scattered instantly.

They headed towards the royal family from different directions.

Such commotion was, of course, noticed by the royal family.

When Xia Zhaoyan's chariot came flying through the air and hovered above the royal family.

Dozens of figures soared into the sky, looking at the King of Benevolence opposite them.

The patriarch's gaze swept across the crowd, taking in the Heavenly Punishment Division members who had already surrounded him, his face filled with anger.

"Niou, what do you want to do?"

"They've targeted my royal family time and time again. Do they really think we're easy to bully?"

They were absolutely furious. The royal family had never felt so humiliated since the founding of the Great Xia Dynasty.

This is the second time already; this time, we're determined to teach them a lesson!

Outside the carriage, four female cultivators appeared instantly, like fairies descending to earth, their jade feet lightly touching the ground as they floated in the air.

One mid-stage Shattered Realm expert, two early-stage Dharma Aspect Realm experts, and one Grandmaster at the Perfection Realm!

These four women are now known to everyone.

Especially after the appearance of the Stone Guanyin, the members of the royal family couldn't help but feel a sense of unease.

This is a genuine powerhouse with unparalleled combat strength at the Shattered Realm.

Currently, among the royal family, only three patriarchs can reliably keep her in check.

At this moment, the carriage curtain was slowly lifted.

A young figure, draped in a black cloak and wearing a long silver robe, slowly came outside.

On the exquisite jade hair crown, two golden ribbons hung down from both sides to the front of her chest!

With his innate royal bearing, Xia Zhaoyan was truly an unparalleled young master!

Even those who dislike him wouldn't deny Niou's charisma and appearance.

"This is the second time. I have warned you before, do not call yourselves royalty!"

"What kind of class do they have, daring to call themselves royalty!"

...

"you..."

"How dare you! We are your elders, after all!"

The royal family members were immediately enraged. This heartless little fellow had no sense of kinship whatsoever.

Just then, people from all the major factions arrived.

King Qiong took the initiative and finally waited for King Ren to make a mistake.

This time, we'll make sure he looks bad and loses all his reputation.

"Niou, you've gone too far!"

"Relying on the power of the Heavenly Punishment Bureau, you've trampled on the dynasty's bottom line at will. I advise you to stop immediately!"

...

"That's right, Your Highness, you've really gone too far this time!"

"Our Great Xia Dynasty has existed for 100,000 years, and what has allowed it to endure to this day is its adherence to its bottom line!"

"Are you trying to destroy the very foundation of the Great Xia Dynasty?!"

Xia Qiming's voice followed immediately, and his figure appeared in the air.

As the two princes spoke first, people from other factions joined in the condemnation.

At this moment, Xia Zhaoyan had his brows furrowed.

What are these guys saying? I can't understand a word they're saying!
