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

Outside, many cultivators at the Dragon Transformation Realm remained silent!

If you look closely, you can see that every Dragon Transformation Realm cultivator is trembling.

Because ordinary people do not understand the power of divine punishment.

In the eyes of all living beings, that heavenly punishment was no different from the heavenly tribulations they saw on ordinary days.

But in the eyes of these powerful beings, any heavenly punishment could be easily unleashed.

It could have cost me half my life.

Yet, even such divine punishment was still extinguished by the two powerful figures of the Great Xia Dynasty!

...

"Is this the invincible combat power of the Dragon Transformation Realm?!"

...

"This is utterly hopeless..."

...

"Can we, together with the demon race, really conquer the Great Xia?"

At this moment, in the interlayer of space, a Dragon Transformation Realm cultivator couldn't help but ask himself in a low voice.

Although he asked himself, his voice was still heard by the other Dragon Transformation Realm cultivators.

Everyone was silent.

Before, I was 100% sure, but now I'm not even 50% sure.

Finally, someone smiled bitterly.

"Looks like they deliberately held back last time in the East China Sea!"

These words made the atmosphere even more silent.

Upon seeing this, the founder of the Bu Tian Sect exclaimed, "How can this be allowed?"

If these people lose their confidence, how can they fulfill the commands of Heaven?

So he spoke.

"Gentlemen, please don't worry."

"Although the people of Great Xia are powerful, this time the nine avatars of the Heavenly Dao will also intervene!"

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the many Dragon Transformation Realm cultivators in the spatial interlayer improved considerably.

I saw that my words had an effect.

The founder of the Bu Tian Sect continued.

Even if we can't destroy the Great Xia, we can at least achieve a draw.

"And one of our objectives is to delay the development of Great Xia."

"Awaiting the awakening of Heaven's will!"

Everyone's eyes lit up, and they instantly gained confidence.

If you had said so earlier, everyone would have been confident in delaying the development of Daxia.

Taking this opportunity, the founder of the Bu Tian Sect invited the various powerful figures to discuss important matters.

...

In the Great Xia region, after the Heavenly Punishment disappeared, peace returned to normal!

On this day, Mu Wenhan and Wang Zhi arrived at the palace.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects!"

...

In the Hall of State Affairs, the two men immediately reported after rising.

"Your Majesty, temples throughout the land have been completely destroyed."

"All kinds of idols were destroyed and burned to ashes."

"All the believers were killed!"

The deaths of tens of millions of people are nothing to a population the size of Great Xia.

"These drivers are doing a good job!"

Xia Zhaoyan put down the documents and then looked at the two of them.

"So, have you investigated the circumstances of those believers themselves?"

"Rebellion will result in the extermination of nine generations of one's family. I will use this action to tell the world this."

"What you can do, and what you must never do."

Rebellion is the Achilles' heel of all emperors.

You can privately criticize the emperor, and even his policies.

Xia Zhaoyan didn't care about any of this.

But to rebel is to undermine one's own foundation.

If we don't punish them severely, won't anyone be able to rebel in the future?

This is a world of cultivation.

Every single cultivator was unruly and arrogant!

Wang Zhi stepped forward and said.

"Your Majesty, most of those believers are actually orphans!"

"He was abandoned at birth, otherwise he wouldn't have become a follower of evil and heretical doctrines."

"So the investigation is now in a stalemate. Those believers who have family members are in a better position, as we have already obtained the information."

"But the families of those orphans need a lot of time to investigate!"

Xia Zhaoyan remained silent for a while after hearing this.

He then waved his hand and said, "Never mind!"

"We don't need to waste our energy looking for the families of those orphans anymore."

"Abandoned from birth, they have no family from a causal point of view."

Even if we find them, so what? We can't use the excuse of punishing their entire family to kill them too.

This seems even more unreasonable!

Those believers who have families have only themselves to blame.

He had given all believers a chance back then.

If someone is intelligent, they will definitely find a way to reform the believers in their family.

Even if it cannot make them give up their faith.

If he had hardened his heart and secretly disposed of the believers in the family, there would have been no further repercussions.

The government's advice did have some effect at the time.

At least some people were persuaded to return by their families!

"Now that we have information on the believers' entire families, let's begin!"

...

As Xia Zhaoyan issued his order.

The Heavenly Punishment Bureau and the Eastern Depot, along with their armies, began a nationwide manhunt.

This time, the Embroidered Uniform Guard was excluded.

Because the information about the last operation was leaked from within the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

Xia Zhaoyan doesn't have suitable personnel yet.

Otherwise, he would have replaced the top brass of the Embroidered Uniform Guard long ago.

Xia Zhaoyan had been unhappy with Han Tianye for a long time.

This person doesn't have much ability, lacks discernment, and makes all sorts of misjudgments.

He wasn't proactive in choosing sides, even though he was already far ahead of the other princes back then.

The other party actually chose to conceal the news for several princes.

If it weren't for the fact that he was someone promoted by the Emperor, Xia Zhaoyan would have dealt with him long ago.

...

Inside the headquarters of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, the atmosphere was unusually oppressive.

Han Tianye looked as if he had aged considerably.

"You all know as well, right?"

"His Majesty has completely excluded us from this operation!"

"I think everyone knows the reason."

"Even if we wanted to make amends, we no longer have the chance!"

As these words were spoken, all the high-ranking officials present lowered their heads.

Seeing this, Han Tianye felt deeply helpless.

Even though he wanted to reform the Embroidered Uniform Guard, he knew he was not capable of managing it.

"I have only one request!"

"Capture the person who leaked the information, and arrest their entire family!"

"I only hope that Your Majesty will consider our hard work and allow us to retire with dignity!"

.....

The Li family's mansion in Donghai Prefecture City covers an area of ​​nearly five square kilometers.

The reason the Li family can own such a mansion in the capital is because they possess a Dharma Aspect Realm expert.

This is a middle-aged man with a cold and sinister appearance.

At this moment, the servants were bowing and reporting to their superiors.

"Master, the young master has been confirmed dead!"

...

"That beast deserved to die!"

"I only asked him to expand our influence among those believers, who would have thought he would become a believer himself!"

Although he was cursing the beasts, the middle-aged man's eyes were filled with hatred for the imperial court.

After all, that's his own son!

He was killed by the imperial court just like that!

However, he dared not unleash this hatred, for the current power of the imperial court was overwhelming.

If he dared to expose himself in the slightest, his entire clan would likely be wiped out in an instant.

Suddenly, a group of a hundred people appeared out of thin air.

From a distance, the middle-aged man's expression changed, because everyone in the world knew that team!

The subordinates standing nearby were terrified.

"Master...Master...Why is the Heavenly Punishment Division here...?"

You're asking me? Who am I supposed to ask?

The middle-aged man glared fiercely at his subordinate.

When he saw the leader of the team, his heart sank to the bottom.

The Chief of the Heavenly Punishment Division of Donghai Prefecture bestows grace!

...

The middle-aged man spoke, his hands trembling slightly as he spoke.

"Esteemed officials of the Heavenly Punishment Bureau, what brings you to my Li family?"

Shi En looked down at the mansion and the middle-aged man below, a cold smile playing on his lips.

"Of course we're here to arrest your Li family!"
