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

"This kid's got a lot on his mind!"

Suddenly, a realization dawned on the mind of this Celestial Realm cultivator from the Cao family.

"Find an opportunity to remind the family to be wary of the King of Wu."

As a Celestial Realm expert in his family, he had seen far too many people, even though King Wu had hidden himself very well.

But he could still see the wariness in the other person's eyes.

...

In the headquarters of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, Han Tianye had been filled with regret for the past two days.

In particular, according to the secret report we just received, the princes have already begun to take action.

Who would have thought that Prime Minister Meng Zhou would side with King Ren, making his previous decision seem like a huge mistake?

"Ah, if I had known this would happen, I should have secretly informed Prince Ni back then."

The higher-ups below remained silent.

Everyone knows what the commander regrets. He seemed to be neutral at first, but in reality, he still sided with the princes.

"Boss, should we secretly inform Ren-ou's side now?"

Han Tianye hesitated for a moment, then shook his head in the end.

"It's too late, the kings have already taken action."

"Informing Niou now will not only be of no use, but will also let him know that we received the intelligence a few days ago."

That makes it clear to everyone; indeed, notifying them now would offend both sides.

"Alas... I thought that after Prince Ren regained his right to succeed to the throne, His Majesty could no longer openly favor him, especially since Prince Ren had no power in the court before."

"So I thought it would be difficult for Niou to stand out in the succession, which led me to make a wrong decision."

Everyone sighed. The commander was having a tough time. The Embroidered Uniform Guard was facing numerous internal problems and external pressure from the competition among princes.

Since Prince Ren regained his right to the throne, it is clear to everyone that His Majesty will never again show favoritism towards Prince Ren as before.

Previously, he had shown favoritism towards King Ren, and although the other kings had some complaints, they could understand.

After all, no matter how powerful King Ni was, he was not qualified to compete for the throne.

But if His Majesty dares to show favoritism now, then a real problem will arise.

"Boss, the intelligence regarding the princes' operation this time must not be kept on file internally..."

Han Tianye nodded. Of course, he wouldn't keep a record of it; this matter was only to be known by those present.

If it's documented, it will be a disaster if Niou finds out about it later.

Looking at it now, who dares to say that Renwang has the least chance of becoming the Xia emperor?

...

Within the ancestral land of the Demon Sealing Lord, the two Dragon Transformation Realm elders were looking north.

"Father, Bai Yujing must have some secret to rise to power so quickly."

"My idea is that we send another Shattered Realm expert over there to try and capture a few survivors, and then search their souls to see if we can find out their secrets."

Today, most people in the world believe that Bai Yujing, or Renwang, definitely has secrets about cultivation.

Otherwise, it would have been impossible to build such a powerful force in just two or three years.

"You're right, it would be best to get the secrets before we wipe them out."

"Since it's inconvenient for a Celestial Realm cultivator to search souls while traveling with others, let's send a Shattered Realm cultivator along as well."

The core members of the Demon-Sealing Mansion have now all become demonic cultivators.

Once someone searches another's soul, their true demonic cultivation techniques are easily exposed.

Not long after, a figure quietly left the ancestral land of the Demon Sealing Mansion.

The King of Wu was completely unaware of this news.

He was wary of his maternal clan, but wasn't his maternal clan also using him?

...

That evening, less than ten kilometers outside the Baiyujing Haizhulou branch, a flash of light appeared in the sky, and several figures descended upon the location.

Led by a Celestial Realm expert, a total of seven figures stood in the void, gazing into the distance.

"Huh, what a strange building, and the black and white pattern in the center is very profound..."

The Dharma Aspect Realm cultivator sent by Xia Qiming immediately noticed the special features of the distant branch.

At this moment, with everyone's cultivation level, they could naturally see those buildings in the distance with their naked eyes.

The place was surrounded by various spiritual plants, with cranes flying in the air and various spiritual beasts running happily on the ground.

A massive, transparent light curtain, like a huge inverted bowl, enveloped the entire branch.

At this moment, everyone was carefully observing the black and white pattern.

As for the buildings being arranged according to the formation, it did not attract much attention. There are too many formations in this world, but they are all essentially the same.

"Hiss... This is a Dao I've never seen before!"

The Celestial Realm expert from the Cao family couldn't help but gasp in shock.

His words caused a sudden change in the expressions of everyone present.

Although there was a hint of disbelief in his eyes, the words of the Celestial Realm were enough to represent most of the truth.

"Black and white represent yin and yang; this is the interaction of yin and yang, where each contains the other."

"A single image can perfectly illustrate a great principle that has never appeared before in the ages."

At this moment, in the spatial interlayer behind them, the Cao family's shattered realm was also attracted by the Taiji diagram.

"The ancestor is right, this Jade Palace does indeed hold a tremendous secret."

"Just a simple pattern made me feel like I had taken another step forward in my understanding of the principles."

"This is clearly not something the people of Baiyujing could have created..."

At this moment, the Cao family's shattered realm mind began to be on alert.

Meanwhile, outside, the Cao family's Celestial Realm expert suppressed his burning desire and spoke.

"Let's go, let's take care of this branch quickly."

"Then pack up the picture and take it with you, and slowly study it when you get back."

Reluctantly, everyone looked away, realizing that in just a short time, their cultivation had increased considerably.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!!

The sound of their bodies cutting through the air rang out, and the seven people had already disappeared from the spot.

The next moment, in the air above the branch office ten kilometers away.

Seven figures suddenly appeared, unleashing their auras without restraint.

The protective array for the branch was now teetering on the brink of collapse, as if it could shatter at any moment.

However, to their surprise, instead of the panicked Bai Yujing group, they were greeted by a murderous voice.

"Heh! It really came after all."

As soon as the voice fell, dozens of figures soared into the sky.

The seven people in the air changed their expressions immediately; they realized that something was wrong.

"Oh no, we've been exposed!"

"Who exactly is secretly colluding with Bai Yujing?!"

At this moment, before the battle even began, each of the seven men suspected their own men of betrayal.

Before they could prepare, several auras locked onto them.

One is in the late stage of the Celestial Realm, one is in the late stage of the Dharma Aspect Realm, and four are in the middle stage of the Dharma Aspect Realm.

The kings felt a slight unease; their opponent was also at the late stage of the Celestial Realm.

"Those who hide their true colors and show their true intentions, the spies in the shadows before, must have been your people too."

"Anyone who dares to lay a finger on my Baiyujing should be prepared to be killed."

At this moment, the seven finally understood!

This wasn't a sneak attack; it was like walking headlong into a trap that had been laid long ago.

Meanwhile, the Shattered Realm cultivator who had secretly followed also had a serious expression.

A wisp of divine sense probed into the building below!
