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

Is Yun Tianze's cultivation weak? Actually, he is not.

At least among the heads of noble families, he is not weak. If the cultivation of the Dharma Aspect Realm is weak, then there are not many strong people in the Great Xia.

But compared to someone like Six Fingers, he is indeed weak, and he is already a thousand years old!

Yun Tianze felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and he fell into a daze.

I was actually called a piece of trash by someone pointing their finger at me...

His eyes gradually turned red, and he was about to erupt in anger, but was stopped by his ancestor beside him.

With the imposing aura of a late-stage Celestial Realm cultivator, he firmly blocked Yun Tianze's path.

Then the man looked at Six Fingers and said, "Your Excellency's insult to the Duke shows that you don't respect the Yun family or the noble class."

"They completely disregarded the imperial court and royal family!"

Six Fingers sneered, "Old man, don't bother showing off with your low IQ."

"I don't take your noble class seriously, so what can you do about it!"

As soon as the words were spoken, a series of voices suddenly rang out, accompanied by the appearance of their owners.

"presumptuous!"

"Passed!"

"Arrogant!"

In an instant, more than a hundred figures stood in the void!

At this moment, many officials in the imperial city and various factions realized that the situation was serious.

All thirty-six dukes and one hundred and eight marquises have appeared!

Although these people are at most at the Dharma Aspect Realm, the influence brought by their status is almost enough to pierce the sky of the Great Xia Dynasty!

"How is it, sir?"

A hint of arrogance flashed in the Duke of Zhenguo's eyes, and his voice was filled with schadenfreude.

I've shown you despise the elite class; now let's see how you get out of this mess.

Six Fingers swept his gaze across the numerous dukes and marquises, and suddenly couldn't help but smile.

"What, trying to interfere with the Heavenly Punishment Division's investigations just because you outnumber them!"

"The Crown Prince has decreed that anyone who dares to interfere with our Heavenly Punishment Division's investigation today will be executed on the spot as a warning to others!"

The murderous aura was made without any concealment, directly piercing the sky.

"Remember, you are merely nobles, not the masters of Great Xia!"

"Don't forget who you are!"

Arrogant, presumptuous...

Countless outsiders couldn't help but complain in their hearts, but their eyes revealed all sorts of envious expressions.

Which cultivator from any major power outside wouldn't want to issue such a strong warning to these nobles?

"Your Excellency, we do not wish to oppose the Heavenly Punishment Division."

"But since ancient times, the Great Xia Dynasty has had a rule that high-ranking officials are exempt from punishment."

"What exactly did the Demon-Sealing Mansion do wrong to deserve such treatment from the Heavenly Punishment Division?"

A voice rang out among the nobles, and everyone nodded and looked at Six Fingers.

"That's right, the reason we came here is to find out what happened."

"The Fengmo Mansion once used the full strength of its clan to seal away demonic cultivators, making a great contribution to the Great Xia Dynasty!"

The Heavenly Punishment Division can't just treat them like this...

...

"All we want is a reasonable explanation!"

...

At this moment, Xia Zhaoyan in the Crown Prince's residence realized that the matter was no longer something that Six Fingers could solve.

He then turned to the women and said, "Let's go, it's my turn to make my appearance!"

Then the prince's carriage rose into the air, surrounded by numerous guards.

...

On Fengmogong's side, everyone suddenly turned to look at the distant horizon.

In an instant, a procession traversed dozens of miles, escorting a magnificent and luxurious carriage as it appeared before everyone's eyes.

"Crown Prince Yan has arrived!" someone whispered.

Instantly, the dukes and marquises stopped applying pressure and looked at the chariot suspended in mid-air.

The women appeared first.

Although they all wore light veils to cover their faces, they could not hide their unparalleled aura.

Even some dukes and marquises couldn't help but let a burning desire flash in their eyes at this moment.

Such a peerless beauty is rare even in the entire Great Xia Dynasty.

At this moment, Xia Zhaoyan stepped out of the carriage and stood in mid-air.

The people from the Heavenly Punishment Division outside immediately bowed in respect.

"Welcome, Your Highness!"

This welcoming greeting caused a dramatic change in the expressions of everyone involved in the imperial city's various factions.

Such a respectful greeting is inappropriate on any important occasion; the word "Yan" or "Liu" must be added before the Crown Prince's name.

Because the Great Xia Dynasty has more than one crown prince, this is both a rule and a matter of etiquette.

However, the people from the Heavenly Punishment Division seemed to completely ignore it and directly called out the words "Crown Prince".

What about the other princes?!

Xia Zhaoyan landed in front of everyone and gestured for his subordinates to stand up.

Then, looking at the many dukes and marquises present, a tremendous pressure suddenly erupted from his eyes.

This oppressive aura has nothing to do with cultivation level; it is an innate aura of authority inherent to royalty.

All the dukes and marquises suddenly realized what was happening and immediately bowed and clasped their hands in salute.

"Your subject pays respects to His Highness Crown Prince Yan."

"Your Majesty, the Sixth Prince, are warmly welcomed..."

Although the voices weren't very coordinated, no one dared to stand up straight and not bow properly.

This moment, this scene, will be forever etched in the hearts of all parties involved!

A young figure exuded both domineering presence and nobility, followed by thousands of his men clad in black armor and cloaks, their expressions fervent.

Before him stood more than a hundred dukes and marquises bowing in respect.

This image, so powerful and moving, made Xia Zhaoyan appear incredibly imposing at that moment.

"Everyone, please rise!"

After everyone had stood up, he finally spoke.

"Why aren't you all staying properly in your residences? What are you doing here!"

...

"Your Highness, we didn't mean to cause trouble."

This is the Duke of Fengmo's mansion. As nobles, we have the right to know what mistakes the Cao family has made!

Faced with someone whose cultivation was weaker than their own, these people no longer displayed their previous arrogance and haughtiness.

Because they constantly felt a powerful, murderous divine sense locking onto them.

These people believe that if they dare to be disrespectful, they will face a storm of attacks in the next moment!

"Does the Heavenly Punishment Division need to report to you all when handling cases?"

Although Xia Zhaoyan's tone was calm, it sounded like a thunderclap to the ears of the nobles present.

"Your Highness has misunderstood, we didn't..."

Someone hurriedly offered an explanation.

But to his surprise, Xia Zhaoyan waved his hand and interrupted him.

"Since you know you're not qualified, then go back obediently!"

"Afterwards, I will only announce it to the world, letting everyone know what crime the Demon-Sealing Mansion has committed!"

Although everyone's expression changed, not a single person left.

Today, we have all come here by chance, just to avoid breaking the rules that have stood for ten thousand years.

If they obediently leave now, the noble class will become playthings to be manipulated at will.

"What, none of you want to leave?"

Xia Zhaoyan's voice gradually turned cold, clearly indicating that he was losing patience.

Yun Tianze took a deep breath. As the head of the first noble family, he knew it was time for him to step forward.

"Your Highness, as nobles and honorary officials of the court, we are entitled to know the cause of this matter."

Xia Zhaoyan looked at Yun Tianze, remained silent for a while, and then spoke.

"The Demon Suppression Duke's Mansion has been secretly selling off its hidden assets these past few days to bring back its branch clansmen from various regions!"

"We're about to secretly escape from Great Xia, are you really sure you want to hear the reason behind it all?"
