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

Leave Great Xia!

This decision was so sudden that even knowing disaster was imminent, it was still difficult to make up one's mind.

"Where are we going after leaving Great Xia?"

Yes, where else can we go if we leave here?

After all, it has been passed down for 100,000 years in the Great Xia Dynasty and has long been rooted here.

Although the wilderness is vast, there is no place large enough to accommodate the Cao family.

"Even if we leave here, where can we go?"

"Once the imperial court reveals our identities as demonic cultivators, which dynasty in the Eastern Continent would dare to take us in?"

"Even the Great Yu, which has a grudge against the Great Xia, and the White Lotus Sect, among other forces, would never accept our Cao family!"

However, Cao Changkang did not think so; there was no sign of dejection in his expression.

"You are all too short-sighted. With the current strength of our Cao family, why would we need to pledge allegiance to other forces!"

"While the Great Xia hasn't made a move yet, we can quietly relocate, change our identities, and easily establish our own country in the Chaotic Realm!"

The Realm of Chaos...

Some people frowned and lowered their heads in thought, while others' eyes gradually brightened.

The Chaotic Realm is the border between the Eastern Continent, the Northern Continent, and the Demon Race. Here, humans and demons mingle, and there are countless forces, although they are all forces that cannot be brought to the forefront.

The humans and demons living there were all people who had fled to this place after being wanted and hunted down by their original powers.

Over countless years, this place has become a chaotic territory several times larger than the Great Xia Dynasty.

Almost every day a new power is established, and almost every day a power is destroyed.

The demon race doesn't care, and the human race certainly won't care either. They're all desperate criminals; who would be so idle as to attack this place?

"Shall we establish a nation belonging to the Cao family?"

The old ancestor, who was in the late stage of the Shattered Realm, muttered to himself, and his eyes gradually began to shine.

The Cao family has been plotting for tens of thousands of years, and only now are they pushing Xia Wuzheng to compete for the throne. Isn't that because they want to seize control of the Great Xia?

It's a pity they didn't recognize their own strength!

"Yes, that's right, let's establish our own country!" Cao Changkang said excitedly.

How much I want to become an emperor! As long as my family establishes its own country, who else but me, the head of the family, could be the founding ruler!

"Alright, let's not delay."

"Before the imperial court makes a move, immediately inform your clansmen to prepare quietly."

The old man, who was in the late stage of the Shattered Realm, clapped his hands and made the decision.

"And while we're at it, we'll also quietly relocate the branches from various places back here."

"This time, we can't leave through the imperial court's teleportation array. I will join forces with other Shattered Realm cultivators to open a spatial passage to the Chaotic Lands."

If you want to leave the Great Xia safely without being discovered, the only way is to use space travel.

...

In the Crown Prince's residence, while Xia Zhaoyan was cultivating, Six Fingers and Zhang Han suddenly requested an audience.

"Greetings, Your Highness!"

After waving his hand to signal the two to stand up, Xia Zhaoyan frowned and said.

"What brings you two here at the same time?"

Zhang Han glanced at Six Fingers, then stepped forward and said.

"Your Highness, the Shadow Guards have discovered that the people of the Demon-Sealing Mansion are secretly relocating all their branches to their ancestral land."

As soon as he finished speaking, Six Fingers stepped forward and said.

"Your Majesty, my agents infiltrated the Demon-Sealing Mansion have reported that they are secretly selling off their assets!"

Having said that, he glanced at Zhang Han!

A hint of resentment rose in both of their eyes, but Xia Zhaoyan pretended not to notice.

Although he had said that his resurrected self was no longer related to his past life, these subordinates were not robot puppets.

Everyone has their own personality, emotions, and desires; as long as it doesn't affect unity, it's fine.

On the contrary, he was happy to see them compete with each other in a healthy way, otherwise how could he show the power of his imperial skills?

"It seems the Demon Lord has finally realized what's happening; he's preparing to run away!"

What do you think?

...

"Your Highness, I think so too. Given the situation of the Duke of Fengmo's mansion, there is absolutely no need to sell off its assets, especially not secretly."

Six Fingers bowed deeply in response.

Zhang Han, standing to the side, echoed, "Your Highness, I think so too."

"Recalling all the branches without any reason is clearly a sign that they're preparing to flee."

Xia Zhaoyan stood up and looked at the distant sky, his voice filled with icy killing intent.

"In that case, it's time to wrap things up!"

"Six Fingers, listen to my command! Immediately notify the Heavenly Punishment Division to muster the forces and surround the Demon Sealing Mansion."

He then looked at Zhang Han.

"After you go back, inform Tie Zhongtang and Qiao Feng to seal off the ancestral land of Fengmo Gong in the void."

"Sever the Cao family's connection with reality; the situation of the demonic cultivators must not be known to the outside world."

"The Heavenly Punishment Division is not very strong; we will need Bai Yujing's assistance this time."

The two bowed in acceptance of the order and then hurriedly left.

At this moment, all the women appeared at the same time, with Stone Guanyin looking eager to try.

"Your Highness, this time I will represent you and oversee the operation!"

Xia Zhaoyan glanced at the other person sideways, "Are you going to stand in for me?"

"It's just that he was itching to do it, that's all. You're making it sound so nice."

The others all looked approving, which was strange, considering that among these women, Shi Guanyin was the most violent.

"Oh dear~~ Your Highness~~" Shi Guanyin hugged Xia Zhaoyan's arm and shook it back and forth.

With her coquettish manner, coupled with her perfect looks and figure, no man could resist her.

"Alright, alright, you can go now!"

"However, let Young Master Siming go along too, so she can practice her skills while she's at it."

After saying that, he looked at the two women.

"Since your birth, you have not truly made a move. Cultivation with only realm is useless. Now that you have all broken through to the late stage of Dharma Aspect, a great battle can completely solidify your current realm."

...

Inside the Fengmo Duke's mansion, Cao Changkang was listening to a report from his clansmen.

"Master, after two days of relocation, our branches in various locations have returned to our ancestral lands."

"We are currently quietly selling off assets, and in about half a month, we will be able to completely sell off those hidden assets."

They dared not sell their publicly owned assets, after all, what duke's mansion would sell its property?

"No, that's too slow. It must be completed within five days."

"We don't have much time left..."

Suddenly, before he could finish speaking, the void outside trembled.

Immediately, a beam of light rose from all directions, directly enveloping the massive mansion.

"What happened?"

Cao Changkang's figure vanished instantly, and the next moment he stood upright in the void.

Those who followed closely behind were immediately stunned.

At this moment, the air above the mansion was filled with Heavenly Punishment Division guards in full armor, led by many high-ranking members of the Heavenly Punishment Division.

Beyond that, there was an impenetrable curtain of light!

At that moment, their hearts raced, and their faces involuntarily showed expressions of tension and fear.

Although Cao Changkang was extremely anxious inside, he maintained an arrogant expression on his face.

"Gentlemen, this is the Demon-Sealing Duke's Mansion."

"What does your Heavenly Punishment Division want to do?"

Mu Wenhan's expression was complex, yet also cold.

"That's a question for you to answer. What's going on? I heard the Demon-Sealing Lord is planning to run away?"
