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

It's impossible to say that these powerful rulers were unaware of what their subordinates were thinking.

But they never cared about the thoughts of the people at the bottom.

Because power and resources are in the hands of cultivators, what can the lower classes do no matter how much they rebel?

...

On this day, when the army of the Great Xia entered the Great Wu, Gu Shouzhuo could only sigh inwardly.

He then left the imperial city with the royal family.

They even handed over the ancestral land of the royal family.

"Ancestor, is the Great Xia Dynasty about to purge the cultivation world?"

A member of the Gu family, who was at the Broken Realm, asked the question.

"Remember, from now on, don't call it 'Great Xia' anymore. You should refer to it as the Imperial Court."

"The imperial court does indeed need to purge the cultivation world."

"In the end, only a small portion of their forces will remain; the rest will be wiped out."

...

"Great, it makes those top powers who were previously outwardly compliant but inwardly defiant towards us disappear."

"Do they really think that just because we've suffered a backlash, they can divide us up?"

"Hmph, I'd rather give to friendly nations than to my own slaves!"

...

Yan Fei emerged from the space, followed by a series of warships appearing in the spatial passage behind him.

Below is a vast complex of mansions.

The next moment, Yan Fei waved his hand, and an array base floated in the air.

An array instantly sealed off an area within a radius of one hundred kilometers.

Upon seeing what was happening in the air, the people below immediately changed their expressions drastically.

"Those are the armies of the Great Xia!"

...

"Damn it, the Great Xia is really going to wipe us out!"

...

"I don't want to die, I want to surrender!"

It can be said that, apart from the core high-ranking members of the sect, not a single ordinary disciple was willing to die with the sect.

At this moment, the subordinate came to Yan Fei's side and bowed.

"Reporting to the Vice Pavilion Master, the Tide Pavilion's sect is below."

"We can take action anytime!"

"No rush!" Yan Fei waved his hand.

"There are two Dragon Transformation Realm cultivators, fifteen Shattered Realm cultivators, and dozens of Celestial Realm cultivators here."

"These are beyond the capabilities of your large army."

After saying that, he waved his hand, and several powerful figures from the underworld immediately appeared behind him.

Among them were Chang Haoling and Chang Xuanling, as well as five Celestial Realm experts.

"These Shattered Realm and Celestial Realm cultivators are now yours."

"Can you guarantee that no one will escape?"

The group immediately clasped their hands and bowed.

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, we can handle all of these matters."

Chang Haoling's voice was full of confidence.

Currently, both he and Chang Xuanling are at the mid-stage of the Shattered Realm.

The two have reached the peak of the Shattered Realm in terms of combat power.

In the sect below, none of the dozen or so Shattered Realm cultivators were at the Perfected Realm.

Yan Fei nodded, and his voice echoed throughout the Tide Pavilion.

"How long do those two Dragon Transformation Realm cultivators intend to hide?"

In an instant, two powerful figures arrived in the air with a group of high-ranking officials.

At this moment, these people's expressions were filled with terror.

Even the two Dragon Transformation Realm cultivators were filled with fear at this moment.

"Your Excellency is the Emperor of the Underworld."

One of them, a Dragon Transformation Realm cultivator, asked respectfully.

Before Yan Fei could nod, he anxiously spoke again.

"We, the Tide Pavilion, are willing to pledge allegiance to the Great Xia and from now on obey the orders of the Great Xia."

"Could you spare our sect's life?!"

Yan Fei shook his head.

"cannot!"

"We, the Great Xia, have no interest in a power that dares to think about dividing up our motherland at any time."

Dragon Transformation Realm – Great Xia has no shortage of such powerful individuals.

Over the decades, they have wiped out so many Dragon Transformation Realm cultivators; why would they care about these?

"Let's get started!"

Yan Fei's voice had just fallen.

The people from the underworld behind them immediately rushed over.

At the same time, he took direct action.

One from the left and one from the right, two dragons formed from the laws rushed towards the two Dragon Transformation Realm cultivators.

These two are no match for Yan Fei at all.

He is now at the mid-stage of the Dragon Transformation Realm, with combat strength at the peak of the Dragon Transformation Realm.

The outcome of the battle was not in any suspense.

With just one move, Yan Fei defeated two Dragon Transformation Realm cultivators.

No matter how hard they struggle, they cannot break free from the constraints of the law.

The next moment, Yan Fei flicked his wrist lightly, and flames rose from the two chains of law.

The two Dragon Transformation Realm cultivators were enveloped in blue flames and began to be refined alive.

...

The Tide Pavilion is just one example; such purges were happening all over the former territory of the Great Wu.

It can be said that in just five days, 80% of the original forces in the Great Martial Cultivation World disappeared forever.

...

In the Chaotian Hall, Gu Shouzhuo and several others attended today's court assembly.

At the end of the court assembly, Xia Zhaoyan looked at the five people, and at this moment the hall was extremely quiet.

"The purge within the former Great Wu territory has ended."

"The fact that the Great Xia was able to obtain the Great Wu without losing a single soldier is largely thanks to the five Dragon Transformation Realm ancestors of the Gu family."

"Therefore, your contributions will not be forgotten."

After saying that, a flash of light appeared in Xia Zhaoyan's hand, and an imperial edict floated in his palm.

He got up and went to the front of the steps.

This time, he will personally deliver the imperial decree.

"Gu Shouzhuo, Gu Xuanyun, Gu Qianfan, Gu Jichuan, Gu Lingxiao listen to your orders!"

The five patriarchs of the Gu family below immediately came to the center of the main hall and bowed to receive the decree.

"The Gu family has made significant contributions to the Great Xia Dynasty. From this day forward, the Gu family is hereby granted an imperial mansion and an ancestral land space."

"The head of the Gu family is granted the title of viscount for generations."

The five of them were immediately excited; they were already satisfied to be able to settle down in the capital.

Unexpectedly, they were also granted a hereditary viscount title.

Looking across the Great Xia Dynasty today, not a single hereditary noble family has yet been established.

Xia Zhaoyan's voice continued.

"Gu Shouzhuo and four others are appointed as deputy heads of the Imperial Pavilion. From now on, they must be loyal to the court and must not have any disloyal thoughts."

At this moment, the five people were completely shocked.

The Offering Pavilion is an organization that possesses the combined power of both the Underworld and the Jade Capital.

The deputy pavilion master can mobilize personnel from both major forces.

It can be said that he holds a very high position and wields great power!

They never imagined that they would be able to obtain such high positions.

"Your subject, Gu Shouzhuo, obeys the decree and will certainly not fail Your Majesty's expectations. I swear to serve the Great Xia with my life, and I swear to serve Your Majesty with my life!"

"minister...."

The five people knelt down on one knee at the same time to express their gratitude and accept the imperial decree.

They never dared to imagine that they could become officials in the Great Xia!

...

News of the Gu family quickly spread throughout the entire continent.

This startled the major powers, and some of them had a glint in their eyes as various thoughts raced through their minds.

"That Emperor Xia is truly generous, bestowing such high treatment upon the Gu family!"

...

"Indeed, the Great Xia Dynasty currently only offers lifelong titles, but the Gu family is the first to receive a hereditary title."

...

"From this perspective, it's clear that the Gu family made the right choice in seeking refuge."

He possesses a mansion within the imperial city, ancestral lands, a hereditary title, and the position of deputy head of five service pavilions.

"Compared to their previous status as members of the Great Wu royal family, these bestowals from the Great Xia dynasty carry greater prestige and power."

Some cultivators at the Dragon Transformation Realm were green with envy.

After all, the Great Xia Dynasty is now the true number one overlord.

Its power and strength are enough to overwhelm any united human race.

So what if we lost the Great Wu!

Just as everyone was discussing the ancient family, a clap of thunder suddenly echoed in the desolate sky.

Immediately, ten figures scattered across the world!

Looking out, ten enormous, dark clouds of tribulation hovered in the sky above the entire desolate land!

An aura carrying immense calamity enveloped the heavens and earth!
