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

As the third-ranked super power among the ten major sects of the Great Xia Dynasty, the Lingyun Sect, which was originally a bellwether for many martial arts forces, was suppressed by the imperial court overnight.

This move completely shocked all the martial arts forces in the world who wanted to rebel.

A powerful expert at the terrestrial immortal realm personally led the attack.

At this moment, the martial arts world fell silent.

Many martial artists in their entire lives probably never see a powerful being in the realm of terrestrial immortals.

Such a powerful terrestrial immortal who is so active in the martial arts world is unprecedented in the entire Chinese continent.

In an instant, people in the martial arts world understood the Great Xia's determination to register all martial arts practitioners within its borders.

This matter is not something that can be settled with mere words; clearly, the imperial court will not give up until it is accomplished.

Now, there are less than three days left until the deadline given by the imperial court, and the seven-day period is getting closer and closer.

Meanwhile, within the Great Xia territory, within the Li family, one of the four great clans.

As the most mysterious of the four great families, it is showing signs of becoming the leader of the four great families.

Inside the main hall of the Li family, the Li family patriarch and several elders were discussing the news they had just received.

"Now that powerful beings at the Land Immortal Realm are so willingly driven by the imperial court, it is clear that the imperial court's foundation is far beyond what our Li family alone can shake!"

"It seems that the plan we discussed a few days ago still needs to be adjusted."

The Li clan patriarch looked at the elders in front of him, frowned, and spoke softly.

As soon as the Li clan chief finished speaking, an elder with white hair immediately spoke up and expressed his opinion:

"In my humble opinion, this matter should be addressed sooner rather than later. The martial arts world is currently in great chaos, and we should take the lead in challenging the imperial court."

"Immediately mobilize Li's disciples and merchants to launch attacks on the government's livelihood, food, and other related issues."

"Otherwise, once the Zhenwu Division has resolved the issues in the martial world, they will be free to focus on dealing with us. If that happens, it will likely be disadvantageous for us!"

As soon as these words were spoken, someone below immediately stood up to voice their opposition.

"However, if the Li family were to launch the first attack against the court, and the court were to go all out and send out experts to target the Li family, how would we defend ourselves?"

"Isn't this the reason why no one has taken the lead in challenging the imperial court?"

Upon hearing this, everyone in the hall fell silent in deep thought.

If we continue to worry about this reason and hesitate to take action, then the two policies of the Great Xia Dynasty will probably be completed by then.

"This matter can't wait any longer. We should select a prestigious family from among the Li family's affiliated forces and let them take the lead."

"The Li family promises to ensure their family's continued prosperity for a thousand years after their success!"

"At that time, once the whole situation is activated, the other major families and clans will surely not miss this opportunity!"

The Li clan patriarch looked at the elders before him and slowly expressed his thoughts.

Upon hearing this, the elders pondered for a moment, secretly considering whether the matter was feasible.

After a moment, one of them said with some concern:

"What family would be willing to take such a risk? According to the intelligence that just came in, the Lingyun Sect in the martial arts world was only secretly contacted by a few rebellious forces before the head of the Zhenwu Division personally climbed the mountain and wiped them out."

"If the imperial court has such determination, which family has such audacity?"

Upon hearing this, the Li clan patriarch replied without hesitation:

"No problem, the Li family will handle the aftermath. Moreover, once the matter is successfully resolved, the family will surely rise to a higher level and become the esteemed family of all the gentry and nobles."

"Even if we fail, we can simply make a comeback. At that time, the family's prestige and power will surely be at their zenith!"

Upon hearing this, the clan elders said nothing more. Since there were no other good options at the moment, they might as well give it a try, since the Li family wouldn't suffer any losses anyway.

"I agree!"

"I agree!"

After all the clan elders expressed their opinions, the Li clan patriarch breathed a long sigh of relief.

The Li clan patriarch was quite worried that if they persisted with the imperial court for such a long time, by then it would be too late for the powerful clans to make any moves once the court had completed all its preparations.

"At the same time, I believe that the Li clan should be relocated overseas in order to prevent the imperial court from targeting the Li clan and causing the lineage to be cut off!"

"This matter must not be publicized. Starting today, half of the Li clan members will be gradually relocated overseas."

"We will return to our ancestral land after the matter in Great Xia has been settled!"

After a moment of contemplation, everyone agreed.

Although this move might damage the family's reputation if word got out, it was better to be safe than sorry.

If Xia Taige were to recklessly send out experts to forcibly exterminate the Li family, the Li family, which has been passed down for thousands of years, would likely be wiped out.

"In that case, let's prepare immediately; the sooner the better!"

Such a pressing situation created a very oppressive atmosphere in the entire hall.

But there's nothing we can do about it. The court is in a stronger position than we are now, and if we don't make some preparations, we'll probably regret it later.

By the time the Li family took action, the news had already reached the capital.

Inside the Imperial Study, the morning court session had been canceled for several days, and Xia Taige, who had not attended court for many days, sat upright on the dragon throne.

Fortunately, with the cabinet members in place, the court was able to function normally as before; otherwise, it would probably be in chaos by now.

"Your Majesty, according to intelligence from the Zhenwu Division, the Li clan has begun to gradually relocate its members overseas."

"After learning the news, the other major aristocratic families also began to secretly migrate overseas."

"According to the information brought by our spies today, the Li clan patriarch and elders discussed the matter for nearly an hour before making this decision."

"I imagine it won't be long before they begin their operation!"

Cao Zhengchun stood beside Xia Taige and whispered to her the news he had just received.

Upon hearing this, Xia Taige felt helpless.

At this moment, Xia Taige knew without a doubt that the powerful clans and aristocratic families who had migrated abroad were forces that would fight against the Great Xia.

Xia Taige had no idea that Donghuang Taiyi's actions yesterday had served as a warning.

Now that these aristocratic families have migrated overseas, it's become quite troublesome to wipe them all out in one fell swoop.

Of course, it's just a bit troublesome; if Xia Taige wants to, she can't escape no matter where she runs.

"Summon Jia Xu to the palace!"

Xia Taige decided to leave professional matters to professionals.

"Yes!" Cao Zhengchun bowed in agreement and immediately went to find Jia Xu.

A moment later, Jia Xu followed Cao Zhengchun into the imperial study.

Upon seeing Xia Taige, Jia Xu bowed and said:

"I have met His Majesty!"

"Rise!" Xia Taige looked at Jia Xu in front of her and couldn't help but roll her eyes at him helplessly.

The matter had been given several days ago, and if Cao Zhengchun hadn't been sent to summon him today, Jia Xu probably wouldn't have entered the palace to report on the progress of the matter by now.

If it weren't one of his own people, Xia Taige would have sent someone to drag him away and beat him up first.
