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

Xia Qiming's gaze did not fall on the direction of the guards, but rather on the direction of the Prince Ren's residence.

"What do you think Niou is really thinking?"

"Why provoke the Prime Minister's faction at this crucial juncture!"

Despite not having a prestigious family background, Meng Zhou served in the Ministry of Personnel for over six hundred years.

Who knows how many people were promoted during this period?

However, the group centered around him in the court was a force that all the princes tried to win over.

Xia Qiming's advisors began to ponder the intentions of the King of Benevolence.

"Your Highness, perhaps Prince Ren intended to use this action to warn the Prime Minister and everyone in the court!"

There's a saying that goes, "Kill the chicken to scare the monkey!"

"King Ren used the removal of this fourth-rank official under the Prime Minister's command to intimidate various forces."

Xia Qiming felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't quite put his finger on why.

He could only nod in agreement.

From any perspective, this action by the Heavenly Punishment Division is a plan to make an example of someone.

King Ren has used this trick many times since he was crowned king.

It must be said that the results were excellent every time.

At least for a short period of time, this will deter people from targeting him.

"But I still feel that something is not right. You know, Meng Zhou is not from a noble family."

"But he was an absolute bureaucratic bigwig, deeply rooted in the Ministry of Personnel for hundreds of years."

"How could Prince Ren not understand that offending such a person brings absolutely no benefit!"

...

"Your Highness, Prince Ni must have been blinded by a series of victories!" someone suddenly said from below.

This statement resonated with everyone.

"Everyone, think back, since Niou rose to power, he has never lost a single court confrontation."

"Even the most brilliant person will develop an arrogant and complacent attitude if they do this."

"In addition, he controls the Heavenly Punishment Division and the Heavenly Punishment Army, and also holds the power of Bai Yujing in the cultivation world."

"Of course he felt there was no one he couldn't afford to offend!"

Upon hearing this, Xia Qiming immediately felt that his subordinate's analysis was correct.

So he couldn't help but comment on King Ni, his tone disdainful.

"Blinded by greed, it seems I overestimated him!"

...

"No, Niou isn't stupid at all, otherwise he wouldn't have risen to power so quickly!"

Inside the Grand Tutor's mansion, Xing Wudi internally rejected his earlier conclusion about King Ren.

His gaze was also directed towards the direction of the Prince Ren's residence.

Why did you take such action?

"Now that you've regained your right to succeed to the throne, you should understand that offending the Prime Minister's faction will do you absolutely no good in your succession."

If it were only during the reign of King Ni, offending someone wouldn't matter, since there was no need to worry about succeeding to the throne.

However, after going to great lengths to regain the throne, he unwisely chose to offend the prime minister's faction.

Even Xing Wudi couldn't understand this move at this moment!

At this moment, servants rushed into the residence of Wang Guangyi, a senior official in the Ministry of Personnel.

"Master, something terrible has happened!"

"The Heavenly Punishment Division has surrounded our mansion!"

Wang Guangyi hadn't even taken off his official robes yet when he was shocked by the news and his face changed drastically.

"What?"

His mind immediately began to work, trying to figure out why the people from the Heavenly Punishment Bureau had surrounded his residence.

Suddenly, his gaze drifted towards the backyard, and he instantly realized that his keeping of strange creatures had been discovered.

Otherwise, he simply wouldn't be able to figure out where the problem lies.

"Leave through the back door immediately and go to the Prime Minister's residence for help!"

As he spoke, he hurriedly led his people outside.

The subordinate stood there, his expression shifting as he considered whether to flee or seek help from the Prime Minister's residence.

In the end, reason prevailed, and she listened to the master's advice and went to ask for help.

When Wang Guangyi came outside, he was immediately stunned by what he saw.

The head of the Heavenly Punishment Division's Arrest Hall personally led the operation, followed by two hundred guards of various ranks.

He took a deep breath, clasped his hands in a fist salute to the other party.

"Lord Sheng, may I ask why you have surrounded my residence?"

Sheng Yayu stood in the air, looking down at Wang Guangyi, a murderous intent flashing in his eyes.

People who keep such bizarre people deserve to die!

In his previous life, he was a famous constable, and he hated those who preyed on the common people the most.

"Wang Guangyi, a senior official in the Ministry of Personnel, dares to harbor monsters and harm innocent people!"

"You deserve to die for using them to feed the monsters!"

The voice was undisguised, and those from various factions watching the scene immediately paled.

Some people couldn't help but feel a sense of disgust, as they had never liked keeping strange people.

"So that's it! I was wondering why Prince Ren would offend the Prime Minister's faction at this crucial moment!"

Everyone understood that the King of Benevolence always dealt with any strange people he kept as soon as he discovered them.

If they dared to deal with the Censorate's Inspectorate back then, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel would certainly be no match for them.

"I'm innocent! When have I ever kept any monsters as pets!"

At this moment, Wang Guangyi only wanted to stall for time, firstly to wait for the Prime Minister to come and ask for help.

Secondly, he wanted his sons to quickly deal with those strange occurrences.

Sheng Yayu waved his hand and said, "Listen to my command, immediately take control of everyone in Wang Guangyi's family."

"Anyone who dares to resist may be executed on the spot!"

When Wang Guangyi cried out that he was innocent, people from all sides shook their heads in disdain.

Although the Heavenly Punishment Division is not popular, it has never had a wrongful conviction, and even the kings would not believe Wang Guangyi's words.

Immediately, two hundred guards rushed into the mansion like wolves and tigers.

In a moment of desperation, Wang Guangyi raised his hand and struck!

A palm print appeared in the air and rushed towards the guards.

However, a finger pressed down in mid-air, and his palm print shattered instantly.

The fingers formed from true essence struck Wang Guangyi's chest without stopping.

puff! !

A mouthful of steaming blood spurted from his mouth, and his body flew backward, smashing through many buildings in the mansion!

"Just because you dared to attack my Heavenly Punishment Division, no one can save you today!"

Wang Guangyi was completely ruined at this moment. He was only a Grandmaster, and this attack destroyed his Dao foundation!

Just then, the sounds of fighting came from inside the mansion!

In a flash, Sheng Yayu arrived in the air above the mansion.

At this moment, his men were fighting against Wang Guangyi's sons.

"Lord Qi, there is a formation here that requires your assistance to break!"

Sheng Yayu had already seen the formation and roughly guessed that the strange place was located below the formation.

Then, a large hand reached out and grabbed from a distance.

The surrounding spiritual energy was instantly drawn in, forming a claw mark!

Then, it swung down, and the gleaming claw mark gripped the formation tightly!

With a slight force, a snapping sound rang out.

The next moment, a loud bang!

The formation shattered and vanished into a sky full of light!

Suddenly, an underground entrance appeared before everyone's eyes.

Sheng Yayu's nose twitched slightly, and he couldn't help but sneer.

"I don't even need to use my divine sense to check; this strange odor is already overwhelming!"

"Don't go down there! Those beasts are beyond your capabilities!"

In his perception, the five strange creatures underground possessed the strength of a Grandmaster from the early to mid-stage!

With a thought, I saw Sheng Yayu slowly raise his hand!
