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

After everyone left the Hall of Government Affairs, Zhang Juzheng's voice rang in the ears of all those who had reached the Dragon Transformation Realm.

"Gentlemen, please don't leave yet. Come to my residence."

"I have something to discuss!"

Guo Jing and the others nodded slightly upon hearing this.

Everyone can more or less guess what the Left Prime Minister wants to say!

In the inner city, the former residence of the Duke of Protectorate is now the residence of Zhang Juzheng, the Left Chancellor.

Upon seeing so many high-ranking officials, the servants in the mansion were instantly excited and immediately bowed deeply.

These people are idols to all the people of the Great Xia Dynasty.

"Alright, you can all leave now!"

Zhang Juzheng had the most servants among all the people in his residence.

No one in the entire court dared to say anything about this.

That's just how the world is.

Your strength and status determine how others perceive and treat you.

In the reception room, Zhang Juzheng sat in the main seat.

The rest of the people sat down on either side.

At this moment, Zhang Juzheng's expression turned serious.

"Gentlemen, His Majesty must prepare to launch a preemptive strike and advance all the way to the demon race's lair."

"We have no objections!"

"However, we cannot simply let the accident that happened during His Majesty's tribulation go unpunished!"

"His Majesty is His Majesty, and we are us."

Everyone understood what the Left Prime Minister meant.

So she looked at him, waiting for him to tell her his plan.

"This is my thinking: before we attack, we must first teach the demon race a lesson!"

"They like to launch surprise attacks, so let's give them a taste of their own medicine."

"I plan to wipe out the Dragon Transformation Realm experts behind those five demon clan members!"

What do you all think?

Xu Da was the first to agree.

"I agree!"

"This sneak attack by a few demons almost made us sinners for all eternity."

"His Majesty doesn't care about these things because he focuses on strategy."

"We are different; revenge is what we, as subjects, should do."

After Xu Da finished speaking, the others nodded in agreement.

Guo Jing stood up and said.

"Even if you, Prime Minister, hadn't made the suggestion this time, I would have found an opportunity to discuss it with everyone."

"I wholeheartedly agree."

...

"Good!" Zhang Juzheng clapped his hands.

He then looked at the crowd and said.

"Then, everyone, we need you, Li Chenzhou, to utilize the intelligence from the Heavenly Punishment Division."

"Also, there is information about Baiyujing and the various figures in the Underworld."

"Get me the information on those five royal family members at the Dragon Transformation Realm as soon as possible."

"I need to know where they are, where the ancestral land of their race is."

"I'm giving you three days. You must find a way to get to the bottom of this."

Everyone stood up and solemnly accepted the order.

Unbeknownst to them, these people had now been won over by Zhang Juzheng.

Both he and Xu Da were highly skilled in martial arts, and Xu Da was only interested in military affairs.

He had no intention of competing with Zhang Juzheng, as their identities in their previous lives determined their fates.

They belong to the same faction in this life.

Zhang Juzheng was overjoyed that he could bring these people into the Ming Dynasty faction.

How could they possibly compete with Zhang Juzheng?

The two had a tacit understanding and were well aware that the Ming Dynasty had many outstanding individuals.

However, the outstanding figures of other dynasties were in no way inferior to those of the Ming Dynasty.

In the future, various factions will definitely emerge in the Great Xia Dynasty.

Their goal was to find a way to strengthen the Ming faction.

If it weren't for the special nature of the local faction, both of them would have been eager to win over the local faction.

However, both of them were smart and knew that they should never try to win over the local factions.

This was specially left by His Majesty to balance the various factions in the future.

Anyone who dares to court local factions...

There is only one consequence: being attacked by the masses and completely alienated from the core power center.

...

Even the Bull Demon Mountain, far away in the Chaotic Domain, learned of what had happened during the previous tribulation.

He boasted to the younger generation in his clan.

"See? This is why I, your ancestor, led you to submit to the Great Xia."

"Five Dragon Transformation Realm cultivators invaded the Tribulation Zone, yet not only did they fail to cause His Majesty any harm, they also lost their own lives."

"From now on, we will be the only alien race in Great Xia. If we follow Great Xia, reaching the Dragon Transformation Realm will be just a matter of time."

"Sigh... our group is just too small and too weak."

"Otherwise, I will beg His Majesty to let us be the mounts of the Heavenly Punishment Army!"

The younger generation's eyes were filled with boundless admiration.

Although our ancestor was somewhat unreliable, he was still quite good to his descendants.

Pills and spirit crystals were bestowed upon them in great quantities.

Just then, Niu Moshan's expression suddenly changed.

He then waved his hand and said.

"Alright, you all should go and get back to your cultivation!"

After these people left, he quickly took out a token.

The next moment, a projection appeared in the void.

"Your subordinate, Bull Demon Mountain, pays respects to Your Majesty the Underworld Emperor!"

Ye Gucheng's projection nodded and then gave the order.

"Bull Demon Mountain, I have a task for you."

"If you can accomplish this, not only will the underworld remember you for your merit, but the Left Prime Minister will also remember you."

Niu Moshan was immediately excited, as the record of merit in the underworld was of great significance to him.

And the Left Prime Minister will remember him too; he is the Left Prime Minister, after all.

He is now one of the leaders of the civil officials of the Great Xia Dynasty, and also an invincible being in the Dragon Transformation Realm.

"Please give your orders, Your Majesty the Underworld Emperor. I will do anything, even die a thousand deaths."

...

"You don't need to die. You just need to find out the coordinates of the ancestral lands of the White Crow Clan, Black Tiger Clan, White Ape Clan, Tengu Clan, and Teng Snake Clan."

"At the same time, inquire about the whereabouts of the Dragon Transformation Realm members in their clan."

Upon hearing this, Niu Moshan immediately understood what the Great Xia was up to.

Aren't these the same five races that attacked His Majesty yesterday at the Dragon Transformation Realm?

The first task is simple; I can give the answer right now.

Those royals were all arrogant and conceited, and the location of their ancestral land was completely public knowledge to the demon race.

But the second task is a bit more difficult.

However, Niu Moshan readily agreed.

No matter how difficult it is, it seems insignificant compared to the benefits.

"Reporting to the Underworld Emperor, I will now provide you with the coordinates of those five families."

Ye Gucheng was also taken aback, not expecting that this guy could give him the answer to the first task on the spot.

The piece that was unintentionally placed in the past has now brought considerable help to both himself and the Great Xia Dynasty.

"Good, you have not disappointed me."

"Don't worry, I guarantee you'll reach the Dragon Transformation Realm, or even the Human Immortal Realm!"

Niu Moshan felt so happy he was about to faint.

Dragon Transformation Realm! I can actually reach the Dragon Transformation Realm in this lifetime.

As for the Immortal Realm, he didn't even dare to dream of it.

"Sir, I will give you the answer to the second question by tomorrow at the latest."

...

After ending the call, Niu Moshan held the token in his hand, deep in thought.

"How can we find out where those people are?"

Suddenly, his eyes lit up.

"Got it!"

He joined the Great Xia Dynasty without anyone else knowing.

"Hehe, on the surface, I am still a demon of the Minotaur tribe of the demon race."

...

It was still the residence of the Left Prime Minister.

The group returned to the same spot.

When Zhang Juzheng saw their expressions, he immediately knew that the outcome was good.

"Gentlemen, it seems we can proceed now?"

At this moment, everyone looked at the people in the underworld with emotion.

Li Chenzhou said with a sigh.

"Left Prime Minister, the Underworld has done a great service this time!"

...
