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

By the next day, even ordinary people in the capital knew about the fierce struggle taking place in the imperial court.

For the first time, people are truly taking the least powerful Niou seriously!

"You all think that if Prince Ren had the powerful support of his maternal clan like the other princes, wouldn't his performance yesterday instantly make him one of the frontrunners for the throne?"

A martial arts practitioner, holding a wine cup, remarked to his companions, clearly a practitioner who had become a fan of the Benevolent King.

"That's right. Previously, Prince Ren was low-key, and the world's attention was focused on the other princes. But Prince Ren's performance yesterday clearly demonstrates that he possesses great wisdom at such a young age!"

The other person at the table took a sip of wine and then sighed!

"Alas...it's a pity that Prince Ni was born too late, lacked the support of a powerful maternal family, and gave up the struggle for the throne early on!"

"Otherwise, I believe quite a few people would willingly defect to him!"

...

"That's because yesterday in court, he and the Heavenly Punishment Division were in such a dangerous situation, yet they managed to turn the tide and reverse the situation in one fell swoop."

"Furthermore, they turned around and used the imperial court's power to suppress the Demon Suppression Division, finally carving out a large chunk of flesh from them!"

...

Xia Zhaoyan only instructed Zhang Han to pay attention to the public's opinions, while he himself went to the Heavenly Punishment Division.

At this moment, all the high-ranking officials and heads of various departments were respectfully waiting at the main gate of the Heavenly Punishment Division.

They were truly impressed by Prince Ren. If they had only admired him before because of his status as a prince, they were now impressed even without considering his status.

Just as Xia Zhaoyan arrived at the Heavenly Punishment Division, in the Demon Suppression Duke's mansion in the Imperial City, the Eastern King and the current Demon Suppression Duke arrived in an alternate dimension.

Like the royal ancestral land, this place was a space that the first Demon Suppressor Duke plundered from beyond the realm.

Small worlds like this are not uncommon across the entire Tianhuang Continent.

Some are small worlds opened up by powerful cultivators, while others are small worlds that were plundered by breaking through spatial barriers.

The cycle of karmic retribution only harms cultivators, not destroys these small worlds.

"This junior, Feng Xiuyuan, the current Demon Suppressor, pays respects to all the venerable ancestors!"

King Xia Donghai also bowed to everyone present.

If someone were to come here now, they would surely be shocked by what they see.

This is a vast palace complex, where dozens of powerful martial artists are currently practicing cross-legged in mid-air.

Around them were all sorts of strange things that were imprisoned.

On these strange creatures, array runes shimmered, and the essence drawn from their bodies was being absorbed by these people.

It seems that using bizarre cultivation methods has become commonplace within the Xun Gui system!

The biggest advantage of using unorthodox cultivation methods is that it can accelerate the cultivator's cultivation speed.

These dozens of old guys are the foundation of the Demon Suppression Duke's Mansion!

At this moment, these people finished their cultivation and descended to the ground. The strongest among them was the first generation of Demon Suppressor, whose cultivation was at the early stage of the Dragon Transformation Realm.

Of the remaining people, eight were at the Shattered Realm, and the rest were either at the Celestial Realm or the Dharma Aspect Realm!

"I know what happened yesterday, and it's not your fault."

"If anyone's to blame, it's the Demon Suppression Division; they've indeed relaxed their suppression of the supernatural in recent years!"

The first Demon Suppressor, the Old Ancestor Fengmo, then offered a word of comfort to his junior.

"With the royal family and officials joining forces, this overwhelming momentum is unstoppable."

"The Demon Suppression Division, which was once as solid as a rock, is difficult to repair once a crack is torn in it."

As he spoke, the first Demon Suppressor, Feng Mo, looked at the Eastern King.

"Unless the Eastern King ascends the throne, only imperial power can fill that gap!"

Xia Donghai's heart skipped a beat. Was the patriarch planning to increase his support for him?

In the past, although her mother's clan stood behind her, the support was only a little bit, not enough to allow her to compete with those in front of her.

"From today onwards, my Demon Suppression Mansion will fully support the Eastern King."

Everyone present understood that when the Ancestor gave this order, it meant that the Demon Suppression Mansion was officially bound to the Eastern King.

This had never happened before in any previous struggle for the throne.

This shows how important the Demon Suppression Division is to the Demon Suppression Duke's Mansion.

"When you get back, tell the head of the Demon Suppression Division not to make any more mistakes, otherwise next time, the Demon Suppression Division might really be taken over by the imperial court."

After Feng Xiuyuan and the Eastern King returned to the mansion, they immediately summoned the mansion's senior officials.

After conveying the ancestor's message, he made a bold decision.

"Starting today, Hongmanlou will increase the supply of its various spirit wines to the public!"

"We need to use these resources to win over more helpers. Although our Zhenmo Duke's Mansion is not as strong as those other duke's mansions, we can still achieve great things."

"But they don't have the advantage of spirit wine!"

"This is our trump card!"

Only a few people know that one of the most important ingredients in the brewing of Hongmanlou’s various spirit wines is the mysterious!

"Gentlemen, we're about to cause some trouble for the Heavenly Punishment Bureau."

"Isn't King Ren planning to streamline the Heavenly Punishment Department and take control of all its branches within two years?!"

"I'll make sure he can't finish it. Two years from now, he'll obediently go back to his manor and be a useless prince!"

...

Xia Zhaoyan was unaware of what was happening at the Demon Suppression Mansion, as he was currently formulating reforms for the Heavenly Punishment Division.

In the main hall, he sat at the head of the table, while the other high-ranking officials sat on either side below.

This includes people like Hongyang and Wuya who came out of the system.

"As you all know, yesterday's events have occurred. My father has only given me two years."

"Therefore, if I want to complete the mission, the current Heavenly Punishment Division must be reformed."

Among the crowd below, some were deep in thought, while others had furrowed their brows. To put it bluntly, they were all worried about losing their original power after the reform.

"From this day forward, the Heavenly Punishment Division establishes the Hall of Arrest, Hall of Judgment, Hall of Combat, Hall of Sky Patrol, Hall of Intelligence, Hall of Merit, and Hall of Logistics!"

"The Arrest Department is responsible for making arrests, the Trial Department is responsible for interrogation and sentencing, the Combat Department is responsible for supporting arrests and local branches, and the Intelligence Department is responsible for investigating intelligence."

"The Heavenly Patrol Hall is responsible for inspecting the various branches and has the power to mobilize the branches."

"The Hall of Merit is responsible for the merits of everyone in the Heavenly Punishment Division. Merit is converted into points, which can be used to exchange for cultivation resources and promotions."

"The Logistics Department is responsible for managing all of the Heavenly Punishment Division's resources!"

Everyone stared wide-eyed, their pupils filled with disbelief. Renwang had completely overturned and rebuilt the headquarters of the Heavenly Punishment Division.

"Five deputy directors will be appointed, and their cultivation level must be at least at the Grandmaster Perfection Realm!"

"Under the Deputy Director, there are ten Directors, whose minimum cultivation level must be the early stage of the Grandmaster realm."

"Each hall is headed by a hall master whose cultivation level must be at the early stage of the Grandmaster realm. Under the hall master, there are two to four deputy hall masters whose cultivation level must be at least at the Grandmaster realm of perfection."

"Below the Deputy Hall Master are the Captains, Colonels, Centurions, and then the Banner Officers and Squad Leaders!"

"From this day forward, all those who join the Heavenly Punishment Division must have a cultivation level starting from the Acquired Realm."

"I will give those below the Acquired Realm in headquarters six months."

"For the next six months, all kinds of cultivation resources will be readily available. After six months, anyone who has not broken through to the Acquired Realm will be expelled from the Heavenly Punishment Division."
