Great Xia: At the start, summon the Net of Heaven to suppress the martial arts world.

After being lost in thought for a long time, Xia Taige suddenly remembered that she hadn't checked in for the past two days.

Upon realizing this, Xia Taige hurriedly asked:

"System, can I sign it today if I didn't sign it yesterday?"

[Ding! This system is an intelligent system. Please do not look down on others!]

[The system automatically checked in yesterday; please check it yourself!]

. . .

Seeing the system's comment, Xia Taige was speechless for a moment.

"Check-in today!"

[Ding! Congratulations, host, for signing in and receiving 1,000 Imperial Guards!]

Hearing about the system reward, Xia Taige felt a little calmer.

A thousand Imperial Guards are better than nothing, enough to guard the Imperial City.

Soldiers who could become members of the Imperial Guard were naturally selected from among the best, and Xia Taige had no doubt about their combat capabilities.

After summoning the thousand Imperial Guards, he handed them over to Li Cunxiao for unified management.

Xia Taige then checked yesterday's automatic sign-in rewards!

[Ding! Congratulations, host, for signing in and receiving 1,000 Imperial Guards!]

"System, isn't this today's sign-in reward? What about yesterday's?"

[The reward for both yesterday and today is one thousand Imperial Guards! Please check carefully in the future!]

Upon hearing this, Xia Taige's face darkened.

Helpless, he summoned the thousand imperial guards from yesterday and handed them over to Li Cunxiao.

The imperial city was completely transformed in a single day.

The originally weak eunuchs were now all replaced by experts from the Eastern Depot, and the original imperial guards in the palace were also replaced by Li Cunxiao and his men.

The current imperial city is no exaggeration to describe it as a den of dragons and tigers.

Xia Taige had just finished signing in and was not long after that when Cao Zhengchun came forward to report.

"Your Highness, outside the palace gates, Yue Qingying, the Pavilion Master of the Misty Pavilion, is requesting an audience!"

Xia Taige smiled upon hearing this and immediately gave the order:

"Proclaim it!"

Xia Taige was naturally aware of Yue Qingying's purpose in coming.

It must have been the destruction of the Great Thunder Temple yesterday that completely subjugated the Misty Pavilion, which had been observing from the sidelines.

Yue Qingying's master knew best about the strength of the Great Thunderclap Temple.

As someone who came from the Heavenly Palace, I naturally know how terrifying the experts in the Land Immortal Realm are.

Even such a powerful figure fell to the blade of the Zhenwu Division; how could the Misty Pavilion possibly escape unscathed?

Before long, Yue Qingying's beautiful figure appeared in the Imperial Study.

"I have met His Majesty!"

After Yue Qingying met Xia Taige, she bowed slightly to him and greeted him.

"It seems that Pavilion Master Yue has already made up her mind about her visit today!"

Xia Taige looked at Yue Qingying, who was neither humble nor arrogant, and said calmly.

"Your Majesty is wise. Today, I have brought the list of the Misty Guards and their command tokens. Please take a look!"

After saying that, Yue Qingying presented the two items in her hands.

Upon seeing this, Cao Zhengchun stepped forward, took the two items from Yue Qingying's hands, and handed them to Xia Taige for inspection.

Xia Taige had been curious about the Misty Guards for a long time.

However, within the Misty Guard, communication has always been a single-line affair. Although there are also secret agents from the Zhenwu Division within the Misty Guard, the exact number of them remains unknown.

Within the entire Misty Pavilion, if the little-known Misty Guards are included, it is still unknown which of the ten major sects in the Great Xia Empire is number one.

Xia Taige took the list and carefully looked it over.

The list not only includes introductions to the members and strength of the Misty Guard, but also notes their contact information.

There are several Grandmasters among them. Although there is no Grandmaster at the peak level, the three Grandmasters alone constitute a very powerful force.

Moreover, there are more than a dozen Grandmasters below the Grandmaster.

Both innate and acquired factors play a significant role.

Clearly, without joining the Day After Tomorrow program, one wouldn't even qualify.

Although this strength is far inferior to that of the Zhenwu Division, it is clearly more than enough to deal with the Wuji Palace, a force at the bottom of the ten major sects of the Great Xia Dynasty.

It is almost identical to the original Fulin Temple.

This clearly demonstrates the far-sightedness of the previous Pavilion Master of Misty Pavilion.

"Impressive! The Misty Pavilion's strength is truly beyond my expectations!"

After reading the list, Xia Taige looked at Yue Qingying in front of him and sincerely praised her.

"Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty!"

"From today onwards, the Misty Guard will move from the shadows to the light, and one unit of the Misty Guard will be abolished, with all its personnel transferred to the Misty Pavilion."

"Take the token back with you!"

After saying that, Xia Taige casually handed the token to Cao Zhengchun.

The Misty Guard, operating both in the shadows and in the open, had no effect on Xia Taige whatsoever.

For Xia Taige, his covert power was already sufficient, and the Misty Guards no longer needed to remain hidden.

Although Yue Qingying had doubts in her heart upon hearing this, she could only lower her head and ask.

"Yes! We will obey Your Majesty's decree!"

"Although the Misty Guard has been handed over to me, the Misty Pavilion must expedite the implementation of the Sword Sect matter!"

"I will give you three days. After three days, I do not wish for the Sword Sect to still exist in the Great Xia!"

Now that things have settled down, Xia Taige naturally has the time to completely eliminate the Sword Sect.

For Xia Taige, there was absolutely no room for compromise with the Sword Sect, a Jianghu force that was so ignorant of right and wrong and recklessly interfered in the affairs of the court.

For many years, the Sword Sect has been tyrannical and oppressive within its territory, causing the people there to suffer greatly.

The better the life of the Sword Sect, the more miserable the lives of its people.

"I hope Your Majesty can rest assured that once I return to the Misty Pavilion, I will immediately begin this matter and will certainly not disappoint Your Majesty!"

Yue Qingying clasped her hands together, bowed slightly, and respectfully replied.

Now that they have decided to completely submit to the imperial court, they must show the attitude of the Misty Pavilion; otherwise, their inconsistent actions will surely lead to a bad end.

The enemy is hateful, but the double-dealer is even more hateful.

Such a simple and easy-to-understand principle was naturally clear to Yue Qingying.

Upon seeing Yue Qingying's statement, Xia Taige nodded, expressing his appreciation for Yue Qingying's attitude.

"I said back then that I would send experts to help the Misty Pavilion, and that promise still stands."

Xia Taige knew that even if the Misty Pavilion won against the Sword Sect, it would be a Pyrrhic victory.

In this way, it would be pointless to recapture the Misty Pavilion.

Xia Taige would naturally not allow such a thing to happen; it would be too hurtful.

Upon hearing this, Yue Qingying's heart stirred, and she was about to speak when Xia Taige spoke softly:

"Gai Nie!"

"My subordinate is here!"

The next moment, a figure suddenly appeared in the empty imperial study, bowing slightly in response to Xia Taige.

Upon hearing the sound, Yue Qingying looked over and saw a person dressed in white robes appear behind her, with a faint sword aura emanating from their body.

Upon seeing this scene, Yue Qingying's heart tightened immediately, knowing that he must be a master swordsman.

"You will accompany the Sword Sect to the Misty Pavilion on this trip!"

"I have only one goal: to eliminate every single high-ranking member of the Sword Sect!"

"This is also a perfect opportunity to showcase your title of Sword Saint to the Chinese continent through the Sword Sect!"

Xia Taige wanted to see what made swordsmen from the Chinese mainland so different by using the Sword Saint to eliminate the Sword Sect!

"Yes!" Gai Nie clasped his hands in a fist salute and responded firmly!
