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

It seems my earlier guess was right; Da Wu really is in trouble.

Otherwise, given Da Wu's past behavior, he would have already made his move by now.

Xia Zhaoyan felt reassured and maintained a calm and composed expression.

However, the outside world was unaware of this, and everyone still believed that Gu Shouzhuo was contacting the Great Wu royal family.

In fact, some people have also noticed something was wrong.

For example, Xia Kuangwu, as well as the Grand Tutor, the Prime Minister and other officials.

They were well aware of Da Wu's temperament and personality.

In the past, the people of the Great Wu Dynasty were incredibly arrogant, relying on the strength of Great Wu.

"What, have you not yet decided how to demonstrate?"

Xia Zhaoyan's calm voice rang out again.

Gu Shouzhuo took a deep breath. His outwardly strong but inwardly weak state made him truly lack the confidence to turn against them.

But now the other side has pushed him to the brink.

If they don't make a move soon, the outside world might notice something amiss with Da Wu.

Thus, the aura of the Dragon Transformation Realm began to rise.

The entire sky changed color instantly!

The murderous aura accumulated over tens of thousands of years stained the sky above the imperial city red.

"The branches of my Great Wu royal family are not so easily wiped out!"

"Either give us an explanation, or we'll have to wait for a full-blown war!"

...

"An explanation? Haha..."

Xia Zhaoyan's laughter suddenly silenced the worried crowd.

That laughter seemed to possess a certain magic, making people unable to help but believe him.

"There was once a reckless and arrogant family, and I demand an explanation from them."

"Why don't you guess what became of that aristocratic family?"

Gu Shouzhuo's heart skipped a beat.

Before coming, he had already learned about the prince's deeds through Gu Mingxiu and the others.

Of course, I know exactly what happened to the aristocratic family they mentioned.

"It seems you guessed it too. That's right, his entire clan was exterminated by me."

"Today I want to see if your Great Wu is still the same Great Wu as before."

These words finally made a glint of light flash in Xia Kuangwu's eyes.

He was certain that Zhao'er knew things that even he didn't.

"Hongwu, the Great Wu Dynasty may be in trouble!"

However, before the Xia Emperor could even speak...

Xia Zhaoyan's voice came first.

"Tie Zhongtang, go and exchange a few blows with this Da Wu Dragon Transformation Realm cultivator."

"Test his strength for me."

Tie Zhongtang bowed and accepted the order, making everyone's eyelids twitch.

Such a powerful figure was so respectful to the Crown Prince...

"Please, sir!"

"The Battle of the Outer Heavens!"

After saying that, Tie Zhongtang waved the battle flag in his hand, and a passage to the Outer Heaven appeared.

He was the first to step inside!

A hint of hesitation flashed in Gu Shouzhuo's eyes.

Actually, he was still a bit confused at this moment, not knowing exactly where the problem was.

Why did things turn out this way today?

It's completely out of my control!

Now, we have no choice but to fight!

He immediately took a step and instantly entered the spatial passage.

At this moment, the scene of the outer heavens was reflected in the sky.

Although the sounds inside cannot be heard, all living beings can see what is happening inside.

Tie Zhongtang waved his battle flag, pointing it directly at Gu Shouzhuo opposite him.

"Sir, how is your Great Wu doing these days?"

boom!!

A tremendous wave surged through Gu Shouzhuo's heart, and his mind trembled violently.

It was this slight tremor in his heart that gave Tie Zhongtang the opportunity.

His battle flag swayed, and half of the outer heavens trembled in response.

A red light flashed out, instantly breaking through spatial distance and descending in front of Gu Shouzhuo.

"mean!!"

Gu Shouzhuo was furious; he had never seen such a despicable strongman.

He didn't have time to make a move.

The only way to block the attack was to create a shield of brilliant light around his body.

boom!!!

The outer heavens trembled, and the void of the Great Xia Dynasty outside also trembled.

At this moment, all the Dragon Transformation Realm cultivators from all over the world rolled their eyes and looked towards the direction of Great Xia.

"Damn it, this is enough! Fighting all the time, can't a person get any sleep?"

...

These Dragon Transformation Realm cultivators, who have lived for more than two reincarnation eras, are now the most speechless.

Unable to easily appear in the outside world, he can only pass the time by sleeping when he has nothing to do.

Now, even sleeping has become an unbearable luxury!

...

"Damn you, Da Xia, do you guys have an unusually high energy level?"

...

"With so much energy, why doesn't he go and destroy the Heavenly Dao?!"

These old fogies were furiously complaining, yet they were also incredibly concerned about the war in the Great Xia Dynasty.

"Hey, aren't these people from the Great Wu Dynasty?"

...

Good heavens, is Da Wu's Dragon Transformation Realm cultivation out of his mind?

Traveling billions of miles from the Northern Continent to the Eastern Continent, just to fight them?

...

"Everyone in the imperial dynasty is seriously mentally ill!"

...

"Who are you calling mentally ill? Come out and show me what you've got..."

...

The battle in the Outer Heavens continued. At this moment, Xia Zhaoyan appeared in front of the Grand Ancestor and the Xia Emperor in a flash.

He then bowed in greeting.

"I hope the Ancestor and the Emperor will forgive my actions today!"

Xia Kuangwu waved his hand and then said:

"It's alright, this is the kind of presence that the Crown Prince of Great Xia should have."

"Zhao'er, let me ask you, did you sense something, which is why you provoked Da Wu like this today?"

Xia Zhaoyan nodded, then gave an order to Qiao Feng beside him.

"Qiao Feng, seal off the space around us. Our conversation must not be exposed."

Qiao Feng nodded, and then a ray of light gradually spread from his palm.

The light instantly enveloped the group, creating a separate space.

"Grandfather, Father Emperor."

"I noticed something amiss when I was wiping out a branch of the Gu family."

Next, Xia Zhaoyan recounted his guesses and findings.

This caused a tremendous upheaval in the heart of even a powerful figure like Xia Kuangwu.

It took him a long time to calm himself down.

"Judging from Gu Shouzhuo's performance today, they really have a problem."

Xia Kuangwu showed no joy; instead, his expression was tinged with worry.

At this point, Xia Zhaoyan continued to drop bombshells.

"Since the Heavenly Desolate Overlord Body has suffered a backlash..."

"Then, have some of the human and demon races who were once integrated into the bloodline of the Heavenly Dao also encountered problems?"

"Therefore, I am certain that the higher-ups within the demon race are absolutely aware that something is wrong with Da Wu."

"They are definitely preparing, and once everything is ready, they will launch a great war against humanity."

"The Great Wu Dynasty will bear the brunt; they are the gatekeepers of humanity in the Northern Continent!"

Xia Kuangwu and Emperor Xia's expressions changed drastically; they no longer had the mind to pay attention to the battle.

At this moment, both of them were digesting what Xia Zhaoyan had said.

At this moment, Xia Zhaoyan continued.

"Does the Ancestor still remember when I sent members of the royal family into the demon realm?"

They both nodded at the same time!

"Does the ancestor remember what that Flaming Golden Lion Clan cultivator said?"

The two of them simultaneously recalled what the lion in the picture had said.

Emperor Xia said in a low voice.

"They say the demon race is preparing to join forces and attack the human race!"

...

"Yes, it's a pity no one outside believes it!"

Xia Zhaoyan shook his head helplessly!
