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

With Xia Taige's order, in less than half an hour, the mysterious force that had recently been active in the martial arts world of the Great Xia was deduced by the Tianji Pavilion.

Upon receiving the news, Donghuang Taiyi did not delay at all, and led a dozen or so experts above the Grandmaster level straight to Lin'an Prefecture.

To avoid having too many people and wasting time, Donghuang Taiyi did not bring any experts below the Grandmaster level.

If it weren't for the need to bring these powerful figures out to show their faces, Donghuang Taiyi wouldn't have even planned to bring these people above the Grandmaster level.

More than a thousand miles south of the capital, within the territory of Lin'an Prefecture, lies the Lingyun Sect.

After the Sword Sect was destroyed, the Lingyun Sect, which was originally ranked fourth among the ten major sects of the Great Xia Dynasty, jumped to become the third sect, taking a step forward.

According to the calculations of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion, the mysterious force active in the Great Xia Dynasty is now hiding within the Lingyun Sect.

However, the relationship between the two is still unclear, and even the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion is not yet aware of its relationship with the Lingyun Sect.

After Donghuang Taiyi set off, Jiang Huan, who was in the capital, immediately gathered his men after receiving Xia Taige's order.

Among the four envoys of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, Baihu and Xuanwu went to the Southern and Western Zhenfu Divisions together to take up their posts.

Only the Azure Dragon and Vermilion Bird envoys remained in the capital.

At Jiang Huan's command, after the personnel gathered and their tasks were explained, they immediately set off for the residence of the Minister of Personnel.

Wu Tao, the Minister of Personnel, was a member of the Wu family, one of the four great clans. He held the position of Minister of Personnel for many years, which meant that his protégés were spread all over the country.

Indirectly, Wu also profited greatly from this, and it is no exaggeration to say that she made a fortune.

It's fortunate that the four great families aren't united; otherwise, even the Xia Emperor would have to consider their feelings before acting.

Now, the two decisions made by the imperial court have pushed the four great families to the brink of despair, enough to make them put aside their differences and join forces to fight against the Great Xia Dynasty.

The position of Minister of Personnel is of great importance, so Xia Taige naturally wanted to make the first move to free up the position for Fang Xuanling.

With the actions of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, people in the capital were immediately filled with panic.

At this sensitive time, the Jinyiwei's large-scale operation is certainly not something as simple as catching rats.

Countless people were curious and paid close attention to the actions of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

As time went by, people gradually discovered that the Embroidered Uniform Guard was heading straight for the residence of the Minister of Personnel.

At this moment, in the residence of the Minister of Personnel, while Wu Tao was still secretly spying with his family, his subordinate suddenly burst in, reporting in a panic:

"Master, something terrible has happened! Our informant has come to report that the Embroidered Uniform Guard has gathered a large force and is heading straight for the mansion!"

"what?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Tao was so startled that he stood up immediately.

He knew in his heart that at such a critical time, the Embroidered Uniform Guard's actions must have been ordered by Xia Taige.

Upon realizing this, Wu Tao felt a chill run down his spine.

Without time to think too much, Wu Tao didn't even have the intention to resist. He hurriedly turned to look at the family members beside him.

"Elder, hurry, let's go together! There's no time to waste. The imperial court is clearly going to use our Wu clan to establish its authority!"

During this special period, the Wu clan even sent a senior clan elder, a Grandmaster, to the capital to oversee the overall situation.

But to everyone's surprise, they had barely arrived in the capital and hadn't even finished their conversation when the Imperial Guards were about to come knocking on their door.

Although the Embroidered Uniform Guard is not as powerful as the Zhenwu Division, it is unlikely that even a Grandmaster could contend with them.

Moreover, this is the capital of the Great Xia Dynasty, a place where true masters reside and cannot cause any trouble.

Upon hearing this, the clan elder who had come from the Wu clan secretly groaned inwardly.

"Lead the way quickly!"

There was no time for further discussion; he could only immediately follow Wu Tao and leave.

Just as the group stepped out of the main hall, they heard a voice coming from the roof.

"Where are you all headed in such a panic?"

Everyone turned to look at the direction from which the sound came, and saw a person dressed in a flying fish robe standing proudly on the roof, coldly looking at them.

Upon seeing this, the group stood frozen in place as if struck by lightning.

"My lord, this is all a misunderstanding. I am not acquainted with Wu Tao, so I will take my leave now!"

The elder of the Wu clan was the first to react. Faced with death, knowing he couldn't save Wu Tao, he disregarded his reputation and clan ties, and hurriedly severed ties with Wu Tao in an attempt to escape the calamity.

The more people who can escape, the less the Wu family will lose.

The moment this person appeared silently on the rooftop, the Wu clan elder knew he was no match for him and didn't even have the thought of resisting.

Having said that, the elder of the Wu clan planned to leave Wu Tao behind and depart alone from the residence of the Minister of Personnel.

"This old man would better not be in such a hurry, otherwise he might not even have the chance to go to the Embroidered Uniform Guard prison!"

Jiang Huan's calm voice came from the rooftop.

Upon hearing this, the elder of the Wu clan turned ashen-faced.

Before long, a loud bang was heard, and the gate of the Minister of Personnel's residence was forcefully blasted open by the Embroidered Uniform Guards, who immediately filed in.

The servants and guards of the Minister of Personnel's residence originally intended to take up arms and resist, but under the onslaught of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, they were immediately terrified and quickly threw their weapons on the ground, surrendering to the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

Thus, the powerful residence of the Minister of Personnel, which held immense influence in the court, was completely destroyed without any effort.

After the Imperial Guards thoroughly searched the entire mansion, the dust settled.

Jiang Huan jumped down from the roof and landed next to Wu Tao and the others.

Looking at everyone, Jiang Huan couldn't help but smile and said:

“I didn’t expect there would be an unexpected harvest!”

The fall of a grandmaster was a great loss even to the four great families.

Even if he was slightly more important than Wu Tao, the Minister of Personnel.

Hearing Jiang Huan's teasing, Wu Tao spoke up to explain:

"I know I have committed a serious crime and deserve to be brought to justice. But these people are innocent and have no connection to this case. I hope the commander will act according to the rules."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Huan immediately gave a contemptuous smile and looked at Wu Tao with disdain, saying:

"Lord Wu, you are joking. Whether there is a connection or not is not a matter for me to decide with a single word!"

"If this official says he has it, then he has it; if he doesn't, then he does!"

Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned and immediately cursed inwardly.

This was the first time anyone had ever encountered someone so openly and shamelessly shameless.

"Guards, take everyone in the mansion back to the Imperial Guard prison, and bring all the gold, silver, and treasures back to the yamen!"

After saying that, Jiang Huan immediately spat out a beam of spiritual light from his hand, crippling everyone's cultivation to prevent them from escaping.

Upon seeing this, the Wu clan elder quickly calmed his mind and sensed the situation. His eyes widened in anger, but before he could utter a curse, he fainted in despair.

To have one's entire life's cultivation destroyed in an instant is probably even harder to accept than death.

Even after Wu's resistance succeeded and she was released by the Embroidered Uniform Guard, she became a useless person.
