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

Upon hearing this, Wang Hui hesitated immediately. If an accident were to occur, the consequences would be beyond his ability to bear.

After thinking for a long time, Wang Hui finally spoke:

"Ultimately, the decision on this matter rests with the family. I will give the family a detailed report on the situation shortly. As for how to handle this matter, we will leave it entirely to the family to decide!"

Although Cai Zhiquan was unwilling to accept this, he did not press the matter further. He knew that if the Zhenwu Division continued to grow stronger, it would be a bad thing for any powerful family.

As for why they didn't choose to kill Xia Taige directly to eliminate future troubles, the reasons are quite complex.

First of all, Xia Taige is a prince of the Great Xia Dynasty, and he is also the son of the current empress, and one of the most beloved children of the Xia Emperor.

If Xia Taige were to die, the dignity of the imperial court would surely suffer a heavy blow.

At that time, even if they dig three feet into the ground and exhaust all their resources, the imperial court will definitely spare no effort to catch the murderer. In this way, the two sides will inevitably fall into a deadly situation, and in the end, they will only end up with the ruin of their families and a loss that outweighs the gains.

Furthermore, Xia Taige was always accompanied by a deputy director of the Zhenwu Division.

Although the true strength of this deputy director is still unclear, given his high position, his abilities must be considerable.

Under these circumstances, if they rashly take action against Xia Taige, they will likely not only fail but also bring utter destruction upon themselves and their families.

"Now that things have come to this, we must act decisively! We must report the situation to the family immediately without any delay."

"Once we receive clear instructions, we must immediately arrange for the Grandmasters of both sides to personally lead their teams to attack simultaneously, ensuring that everything goes smoothly and successfully breaking the current stalemate of the Zhenwu Division!"

Cai Zhiquan's expression was solemn, his tone resolute, and his eyes were fixed on Wang Hui, as if he wanted to see the outcome of the matter through the other person.

"That's right, time is of the essence! We must make a decision as soon as possible. Once all the forces around the capital have stabilized and formed a united front, even if Jing Ni is assassinated, the impact on the Zhenwu Division will likely be extremely limited. Therefore, we must take action before the situation completely solidifies!"

Wang Hui was well aware of the stakes involved, and after listening to Cai Zhiquan's words, he nodded with an increasingly heavy expression.

He naturally understood the importance of the big picture and the distinction between primary and secondary matters perfectly well.

After the two reached an agreement, Wang Hui suddenly stood up, clasped his hands in a fist and bowed to Cai Zhiquan, saying:

"There's no time to lose. I'll head back and report right away. This matter is far too important. The sooner the family is informed and can make preparations, the greater our chances of success will be!"

Having said that, he turned and strode away, his figure quickly disappearing outside the door.

Just as the two were having their secret conversation, a piece of intelligence about their private discussion flew to Emperor Xia and Xia Taige's desk as if it had grown wings.

Although no one knows the specifics of their secret conversation, the tense and mysterious atmosphere suggests it was certainly not a pleasant affair.

Inside the magnificent imperial palace, Emperor Xia sat on his dragon throne, his face grave as he examined the intelligence report presented by the imperial guards regarding the two spies. His gaze was deep and sharp, as if he could see through the thin sheet of paper to discern the vast conspiracy hidden behind it.

For the Xia Emperor, who controlled the world, the four major families had always been the focus of his close attention.

In particular, the power wielded by Cai Zhiquan and Wang Hui, two high-ranking officials of the second rank in the imperial court, should not be underestimated.

Therefore, any movement related to them could not escape the close surveillance of the inner guards, and all information, even the slightest action, would be promptly reported to the emperor.

Time ticked by, and the Xia Emperor remained silent, a suffocating atmosphere of oppression permeating the entire palace.

Finally, after a long period of contemplation, Emperor Xia slowly raised his head, and a barely perceptible sneer suddenly flashed across his previously expressionless face.

His gaze fell upon Wei Yong, who stood to the side, and his deep, authoritative voice asked calmly:

"What do you think these two are discussing so cautiously and discreetly, having dismissed everyone else?"

Upon hearing the Emperor's question, Wei Yong's heart tightened. He quickly stepped forward, bowed respectfully, and replied:

"Your Majesty, in my humble opinion, this matter may be related to the Zhenwu Division!"

Having said that, he slightly raised his head, carefully observing the changes in the Xia Emperor's expression. He continued:

"Nowadays, the Zhenwu Division is making big moves, the area around the capital is stable, and the Zhenwu Division is gradually growing stronger, which is probably something they don't want to see. Perhaps Cai Zhiquan and the other two are too impatient!"

"Hmph!" Emperor Xia snorted coldly, his eyes revealing a deep killing intent. He knew the two men's methods all too well.

"Hmph, it must be the same methods used by the Embroidered Uniform Guard back then. It's nothing more than the same old tricks of suppression, recruitment, and assassination. There's really nothing new about it!"

"The Xia Emperor said with a face full of disdain. His sharp, hawk-like eyes flashed with a cold light as he stared intently at the void in front of him, as if he could see through the layers of palace walls the faces of those who dared to defy his will.

"Since no one wants such a heavy mountain hanging over their heads, then I will make sure to erect it firmly. Do they really think that the Zhenwu Division will fade away like the Jinyiwei of yesteryear? That's just wishful thinking!"

Emperor Xia slammed his hand on the dragon-shaped desk, causing the memorials and writing implements on it to vibrate slightly. The heavy, authoritative sound echoed throughout the imperial study, like a series of thunderclaps.

At this moment, an invisible yet incredibly powerful imperial aura surged forth from Emperor Xia, sweeping towards Wei Yong, who was kneeling below, like a torrent.

The oppressive force was so strong that it made it almost impossible for Wei Yong to breathe.

Large beads of sweat slid down his forehead, dripping onto the cold floor tiles and disappearing instantly.

"Keep a close eye on the Zhenwu Division's every move. If an emergency occurs, the Imperial Guards can be deployed to assist if necessary."

"Also, if the Fifth Prince has any requests, as long as they are not too outrageous, try to satisfy him! I have specially granted him the authority to act expediently in critical moments!"

The Emperor Xia gave his instructions, word by word, each word striking Wei Yong's heart like a heavy hammer.

"By the way, have you found out anything about the group of people under Fifth Brother? Where did so many experts come from?"

"Your Majesty, there are absolutely no clues about Prince Xuan's men; they seem to have appeared out of thin air!"

Upon hearing this, Emperor Xia waved his hand expressionlessly, signaling him to step back.

After answering the Xia Emperor's question with trepidation, Wei Yong was filled with fear. Knowing the gravity of the matter, he dared not delay and quickly bowed deeply before hastily departing.

After leaving the Imperial Study, Wei Yong headed straight for the Xuan Prince's Mansion to personally convey the Emperor Xia's decree!
