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

The fluctuations from the Celestial Realm cultivator's attack were instantly sensed by several forces surrounding the Gu family.

The headquarters of Tianhuo Pavilion is located hundreds of miles west of the Gu family.

The Celestial Realm Pavilion Master suddenly opened his eyes and looked towards the east.

"A Celestial Realm expert has made a move against the Gu family?"

Who exactly is it? Do they really not care about the reputation of the Great Wu and Great Xia royal families?

He didn't rush to investigate; the Gu family's connections were too deep, and he didn't want to get involved.

Meanwhile, to the east of the Gu family, another powerful force made the same decision.

That means pretending not to know. If they can send someone at the Celestial Realm level to take action, at least the other party knows the background of the Gu family.

They still dared to attack the Gu family; clearly, they weren't afraid!

Above the Gu family compound, Zhang Danfeng formed hand seals, and a series of magical seals descended from the sky.

The next moment, a cyan light enveloped the area.

Upon seeing this, the cultivators from the Gu family were filled with utter despair.

The formation, a formation casually set up by a Celestial Realm cultivator, is simply beyond their ability to break through.

"Gentlemen, what should we do with the rest of them?"

Zhuge Zhengwo looked at the members of the Gu family on the ground. After so many years, there are still hundreds of thousands of people in the family.

"No rush, let's find out about the Great Martial Sect behind the Gu family first!"

At this moment, Zhang Danfeng casually grabbed something, and dozens of members of the ancient family flew up from the ground.

He unleashed his divine sense, instantly invading the minds of these people and examining their memories!

Meanwhile, the dozens of people outside were now staring blankly, drooling, looking like complete idiots.

In just a few breaths, Zhang Danfeng opened his eyes.

With a casual wave of his hand, these people instantly turned to ashes.

"These people are just small fry; they don't know the specific secrets of the Gu family."

"Looks like we'll have to resort to soul-searching the higher-ups!"

Upon hearing this, Gongsun Yin waved his hand, and the high-ranking officials who had been controlled came before the crowd.

"Bai Yujing, you will all die a horrible death!"

"Searching for souls of others, how are you any different from those demonic cultivators!"

...

"I don't need to search your soul, just tell me why your Gu family hasn't sent any of your clan's geniuses to the Great Wu for over two thousand years!"

...

"Don't even think about it!"

Still stubborn, Zhang Danfeng lost his patience!

After these people, resurrected from the heavens, descended to this world, they no longer had the same aversion to the terrifying methods of killing and soul-searching that they had in their previous lives.

With a wave of his hand, his divine sense instantly pierced through the Grandmaster's mental defenses.

The next moment, a great deal of secrets about the Gu family were laid bare before him.

"ah!!"

The dignified grandmaster was now screaming in pain!

It is clear that the higher one's cultivation level, the worse the experience of soul searching.

"It's ready." Zhang Danfeng opened his eyes and said to everyone.

"Your Highness was right after all; the Great Wu royal family is in trouble!"

...

"What about the remaining hundreds of thousands of people?" Zhuge Zhengwo hesitated.

After all, he couldn't bring himself to kill so many people at once.

At this moment, Zhang Han spoke up, "We don't need to do anything; His Highness's Heavenly Punishment Division will take care of it."

"Some of these people will be beheaded, while the rest will be conscripted into the army or forced into hard labor, with varying fates."

The group suddenly realized that the Gu family controlled the Heavenly Punishment Division branch in Cangnan Prefecture.

...

In the Heavenly Punishment Division, Mu Wenhan suddenly received an order from the Benevolent King. The moment he saw the contents of the order, he was so frightened that he immediately stood up.

"You...you're saying this is His Highness's order?"

Hongyang, who came to deliver the order, nodded, "That's right."

"Lord Mu, you probably don't know this, but just today, the Gu family's higher-ups were wiped out by a powerful force!"

"His Highness has ordered us to take this opportunity to deal with the Gu family immediately."

"Reclaim the authority of the Cangnan Prefecture branch, and then quickly convict the Gu family!"

"Your Highness will bear all the consequences!"

Mu Wenhan took a deep breath, then gritted his teeth and immediately issued an order to the entire Heavenly Punishment Division!

At this time, no one in the entire court or among the people knew that the Cangshan Ancient Family had been wiped out!

However, the large-scale deployment of personnel by the Heavenly Punishment Division attracted the attention of other forces.

"What are they trying to do? Thousands of people have been mobilized; is the Heavenly Punishment Division planning a rebellion...?"

Someone said with a look of fear, "I have never seen such a scene before."

"Immediately send people to keep a close watch on the Heavenly Punishment Division's movements!"

Even the Xia Emperor was shocked by the actions of the Heavenly Punishment Division!

"Eunuch Lu, send someone to inquire what the Heavenly Punishment Division is up to?"

"In just a short time, I have received no fewer than dozens of memorials accusing me of wrongdoing!"

...

Xia Zhaoyan had no time to care about the reactions from the outside world; soon these people would know the purpose of the Heavenly Punishment Division.

By now, Zhang Danfeng and the others had returned.

"Your Highness, just as you predicted."

"The Great Wu royal family is indeed in trouble. Since more than two thousand years ago, members of the clan who have awakened the Heavenly Martial Overlord Body have been showing signs of the Five Signs of Decay of Heaven and Man."

"At first there were only one or two, and the Great Wu royal family didn't pay any attention to them."

"As a result, just a hundred years later, all the Heavenly Martial Overlords experienced this situation."

"This looks like both a curse and a backlash!"

As he spoke, a flash of light suddenly appeared on Zhang Danfeng's forehead.

The next moment, his divine sense appeared and began to show the scene he was seeing.

These scenes were as if they were real people witnessing them firsthand. In the images, Xia Zhaoyan saw those people with the Heavenly Martial Overlord Body, their limbs ulcerated, their heads covered in sores, and their feet oozing pus!

It exuded a strong stench of decay!

It should be noted that these people are all cultivators, including powerful cultivators at the Celestial Realm, Shattered Realm, and Dragon Transformation Realm.

At this moment, not only him, but even Zhang Han and the others looked solemn.

"Your Highness, these people can only remain in a deep sleep for now!"

"It's fair to say that if this problem cannot be solved, 80% of the Great Wu royal family's strength will be completely destroyed!"

The Great Martial Kingdom is indeed a place with profound foundations; not all its powerful figures possess the Heavenly Martial Overlord Body.

Otherwise, Da Wu would probably have collapsed by now!

"This matter must be kept absolutely secret!"

Everyone nodded, knowing that it would be pointless to expose this now.

If Da Wu can keep this a secret from the outside world for so long, then let's continue to keep it a secret for now. We'll reveal this secret that affects the situation on the continent when Your Highness has officially become Empress Xia.

The next day, a message spread throughout the entire capital city in an instant, and quickly spread to other parts of the country.

"Hiss... What did you say? The Heavenly Punishment Division actually wiped out the Cangshan Ancient Family?"

...

"It wasn't destroyed by the Heavenly Punishment Division. Remember Bai Yujing, who shocked the Great Xia Dynasty before?"

"It's said that they were the ones who wiped out the Cangshan Ancient Family!"

...

"Bai Yujing, why did they destroy the Gu family?"

Yes, why did Bai Yujing want to destroy the Gu family!

This is a question that not only ordinary people want to know, but also that major powers, including the royal family, want to know.

They didn't believe that Bai Yujing was unaware of the Gu family's background.

Since they knew the background of the Gu family, they still dared to destroy the Gu family. There must be other reasons!

Regardless of the reason, it all depends on the attitude of the Great Xia royal family!
