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

In the Chaotian Hall, the five princes and the Heng King's men also stepped forward.

To be honest, the officials genuinely wanted to limit the power of the Heavenly Punishment Bureau.

Unfortunately, by now, everyone knows that it is no longer possible to control it.

Since we can't stop them, we must protect the Heavenly Sword Sect today no matter what!

"Father, the Heavenly Sword Sect is, after all, a Dragon Transformation Realm power. If it is destroyed, we will lose one Dragon Transformation Realm combatant."

"If the opponent escapes at the Dragon Transformation Realm, we will not only lose one Dragon Transformation Realm cultivator, but also gain another Dragon Transformation Realm enemy!"

"Therefore, the Heavenly Sword Sect must not be destroyed under any circumstances!"

Xia Qiming felt much more confident after seeing Prince Heng step forward.

This is a prince representing the cultivation world, and the current situation makes him feel as if he has returned to the past.

After hearing this analysis, many people immediately felt that Xia Qiming's words made sense.

Especially the neutral officials in the court, they didn't care who could become the Xia Emperor.

However, we cannot weaken the Great Xia Dynasty, since the neutral faction is loyal to the imperial court and the Xia emperor.

Ultimately, the majority of officials in the imperial court who did not take sides were the ones who did not.

As a result, some people stood up to support it.

"Your Majesty, I also believe that the Heavenly Punishment Division should not be allowed to provoke the Heavenly Sword Sect!"

...

At this point, the Prime Minister could no longer stand it and went directly to the central government.

"Your Majesty, I object!"

As the prime minister, his opposition was not unexpected.

After all, they were the first among the gentlemen to side with Xia Zhaoyan!

"The founder of the Heavenly Sword Sect secretly helped the Sima family fight against the Heavenly Punishment Division. Even though he knew that the Crown Prince was personally in charge of annihilating the Sima family, he still chose to help them."

"This clearly shows a disregard for the laws and authority of the imperial court."

What if the Crown Prince had been injured by the bandits?

"Furthermore, they attacked the Heavenly Punishment Bureau just two days ago. Such a force that disregards the imperial authority is a menace if left unchecked!"

"With multiple offenses combined, the Heavenly Sword Sect should be exterminated!"

At that moment, another figure appeared in the center.

Everyone looked closely and wondered why the Grand Tutor was also preparing to participate.

"Your Majesty, this old minister agrees with the Prime Minister's words."

"The majesty of my Great Xia Dynasty cannot be challenged. We can simply destroy the forces of the mere cultivation world."

At this moment, some people frowned.

What does Xing Wudi mean by this? He used to be more subtle, but today it's so obvious?

The Crown Prince in the past, although he also liked to speak up for Xia Zhaoyan, was never as obvious as he is today.

"The Crown Prince is the hope of our Great Xia, and we cannot allow any force to provoke him."

At this, the expressions of all the officials changed instantly.

I understand now, I understand completely.

"Ha! The old man's not giving up after all; he's actually chosen to take sides!"

...

"I never expected the Grand Tutor to side with Crown Prince Yan..."

Everyone here is a smart person, and they immediately understood that the Grand Tutor had completely taken sides.

Now, even the Xia Emperor at the head of the table couldn't help but look at Xia Zhaoyan.

However, what left everyone speechless was that while everyone was arguing in the court because of you, you were meditating with your eyes closed in the court.

However, some people felt a ripple in their hearts. No wonder he was able to rise to prominence in such a short time!

That alone is enough to earn our respect!

Xing Wudi's choice of sides didn't actually bring much additional strength.

However, the influence it brought was definitely greater than that of the previous prime minister, Meng Zhou.

At this moment, Xia Zhaoyan opened his eyes and then walked slowly to the center.

"Father, I suggest we end this pointless argument."

"There are still a lot of things to deal with."

"Since the Heavenly Sword Sect is a power in the cultivation world, let's resolve this using the methods of the cultivation world. I won't use the Heavenly Punishment Division!"

Xia Qiming and the others were initially delighted, but then they immediately realized what was going on.

So you're just twisting the facts. Everyone knows you have a behemoth like Bai Yujing in the cultivation world.

However, at this moment, Emperor Xia waved his hand to end the matter.

"Alright, let's do as the Crown Prince says. The cultivation world should resolve its own affairs."

In the past, he might have hesitated about whether to agree to destroy the Heavenly Sword Sect.

After all, Xia Qiming was right before; losing one Heavenly Sword Sect member meant losing one Dragon Transformation Realm cultivator.

But things are different now. His son alone has five warriors at the Dragon Transformation Realm.

The mere Heavenly Sword Sect is no match for our destruction!

Many people looked grim. Although they seemed to have successfully stopped Prince Yan, it was actually of no use at all.

Some people looked at Xia Qiming and his group with regret in their eyes.

Your Highnesses, we have done our best, but it seems that fate has decreed that the Heavenly Sword Sect will be wiped out.

...

Upon returning to the Crown Prince's residence, Xia Zhaoyan immediately gave instructions to the women.

"Immediately notify Baiyujing and the Underworld to assemble in Lingwu Prefecture."

"The underworld is in the shadows, while Baiyujing is in the light. Seal off Lingwu Prefecture for me."

"We cannot let anyone from the Heavenly Sword Sect escape!"

If a Dragon Transformation Realm cultivator is determined to escape, Bai Yujing and his two Dragon Transformation Realm cultivators alone would not be able to stop them.

"Shi Guanyin, you should also set off for Lingwu Prefecture."

"After all, this is a sect with a history of 100,000 years, and it has a considerable number of people at the Shattered Realm."

...

News of the court assembly quickly reached the ears of the Heavenly Sword Sect, instantly filling the previously hopeful high-ranking officials with panic!

"Liar, trash!" The aura of the Heavenly Sword Ancestor swept across the ancestral land, almost destroying this dimensional space.

"Emperor Taizu, what should we do now?"

Everyone watched their great ancestor with bated breath, and the outcome of the court proceedings truly filled them with dread.

The Heavenly Punishment Division is not particularly powerful; it only has the authority to suppress various forces.

Although it may seem that the imperial court will not intervene, what difference is there between this and the imperial court intervening?

"I was wrong. I shouldn't have placed my hopes on those princes."

"There are only two options right now: either run away or seek help from other top-tier forces."

"Sect Leader, you decide!"

The members of the Heavenly Sword Sect looked at their sect leader, whose mind was racing.

Analyze the advantages and disadvantages of these two paths...

"Gentlemen, if we're going to try to escape, we should either act now, but even then, there's no guarantee how many will get away."

"But this foundation built over 100,000 years has been completely abandoned!"

The crowd lowered their heads and remained silent; few were willing to become homeless dogs.

Moreover, they want to abandon everything and leave now, leaving behind a foundation of 100,000 years for the enemy.

Seeing this, the Heavenly Sword Sect Master sighed inwardly. In fact, the best solution right now was to run away!

He could only continue, "My esteemed ancestors, do not even think about preserving your legacy."

"If we don't leave now, none of us will be able to leave."

"With our numbers, we can easily establish a new Heavenly Sword Sect in that chaotic realm."

"We are no match for Bai Yujing!"

That last sentence completely shattered everyone's hesitation.

The Heavenly Sword Ancestor sighed inwardly. He knew that running away was the wisest choice. The reason he asked the sect leader to speak was because he himself couldn't let go of everything.

"Alright, watch as I, your ancestor, open a passage to the Chaotic Realm."

Having said that, the Heavenly Sword Ancestor's entire body was enveloped in sword intent.

Just as they were about to break through the spatial barrier, two powerful auras rose from outside the plane!

The aura of the Dragon Transformation Realm filled the entire space!

Everyone in the ancestral land had a drastic change in expression.

The Heavenly Sword Ancestor looked into the void and muttered to himself.

"How could they have arrived so quickly..."
