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

"We also need to get the important things done!"

"Isn't the Zhenwu Division supposed to suppress the martial arts world? Why don't you have your men thoroughly investigate that so-called divine cult and try to find out its true nature? What happened ten years ago is still a scar on the imperial court."

"The deaths of dozens of masters abroad are a huge loss for the imperial court!"

A murderous glint flashed in the Emperor's eyes as he solemnly addressed Xia Taige:

Before Xia Taige could respond, Xia Beixuan interrupted, saying:

"Father, the Divine Cult is full of experts, and even the three great dynasties have suffered losses at their hands. Sending Fifth Brother to investigate now is just pushing him into a fire pit, isn't it?"

"Hmph! What do you know?" Emperor Xia scoffed disdainfully.

"Do you really think the imperial court can't do anything about them? Ten years ago, the imperial court just didn't expect their leader to be a powerhouse above the Grandmaster level!"

"Once they find out, each dynasty will unleash its full power, ensuring he has no chance of escape!"

Seeing this, Xia Taige couldn't help but smile at Xia Beixuan, indicating that there was no need to worry.

Xia Taige knew from her memories that Xia Beixuan had treated her quite well.

There was none of the typical royal family dynamic of brothers suppressing each other.

Perhaps because they were both born to Empress Yan, both of them had very unconventional personalities and lacked the composure expected of princes.

Therefore, the two were able to get together, which can be described as birds of a feather flocking together.

"Father, the secret agents within the Zhenwu Division have also sent news about the Divine Cult!"

"It's easy to destroy a cult, but if the cult leader doesn't die, it's all for naught!"

"Currently, no one knows the true identity of the leader of the Divine Cult. Any of the Grandmasters or higher experts within the three great dynasties could be the leader of the Divine Cult!"

After listening, Emperor Xia remained silent for a moment, then slowly nodded.

In fact, Emperor Xia had also speculated about this possibility, but it was just a guess. Deep down, he was not really willing to believe that such a thing would happen.

After all, if the leader of the cult really came from one of the three great dynasties, the consequences for the entire dynasty would be unimaginable; to say that it would be crippling would be an understatement.

Thinking of this, Emperor Xia felt a surge of unease and waved his hand, saying:

"Forget it! Let's put this matter of the cult aside for now and discuss it again later!"

"That's enough for today, I'm tired!" As the Xia Emperor's majestic voice rang out, the entire hall fell into solemn silence.

Xia Taige, Xia Beixuan, and the rest of the Zhenwu Division all stood up respectfully and shouted in unison:

"Congratulations to Your Majesty!"

After the majestic figure of Emperor Xia gradually disappeared from sight, Xia Beixuan, like a cunning fox, quickly approached Xia Taige's side.

With a fawning smile plastered on his face, he said obsequiously, "Fifth brother, how has your elder brother treated you?"

However, Xia Taige merely glanced at Xia Beixuan indifferently and answered without hesitation:

"not so good!"

Knowing his elder brother's temperament well, Xia Taige understood his intentions upon seeing Xia Beixuan's current appearance.

As expected, Xia Beixuan's expression instantly turned helpless upon hearing this answer. He raised his fist and feigned anger, saying:

What do you mean by "not very good"?

"Fifth brother, we really need to discuss this matter! The food prepared by the chefs in your household is absolutely delicious, it has spoiled my palate! Quickly give me a few chefs so I can take them back to the manor to enjoy."

Faced with Xia Beixuan's unreasonable request, Xia Taige responded without hesitation:

"No! Absolutely not!"

You should know that these eight chefs are his precious treasures, the key to being able to taste such delicious food, and none of them can be missing.

Seeing that Xia Taige's attitude was so firm, and that he still refused to give up, Xia Beixuan continued to pester her:

"Fifth brother, please have mercy! I really need these chefs."

But Xia Taige remained unmoved, took a deep breath, and said firmly:

“Brother, there is no room for discussion regarding the chefs. However, if you wish, you can send your chefs to learn from and exchange ideas with my chefs.”

After saying this, Xia Taige ignored Xia Beixuan's resentful gaze, resolutely turned around, and strode away from the place.

Xia Beixuan was left standing there alone, watching his departing figure with gritted teeth but helpless.

····

Royal study room!

"Well? Did you notice anything?"

Emperor Xia narrowed his eyes slightly, leaning back lazily and casually on the magnificent, exquisitely carved dragon throne.

His gaze, deep as the sea, was fixed on Wei Yong, who stood respectfully below, and he casually asked a question.

Wei Yong's expression was solemn, with a thin layer of sweat beading on his forehead. He bowed respectfully and replied:

"Your Majesty! This Prince Xuan's residence is truly a place where hidden talents abound!"

After a brief pause, Wei Yong took a deep breath and continued:

"When this old servant stepped into the main hall of the Prince's mansion, he felt a powerful aura rushing towards him."

"With a slight sense, I discovered that everyone in the hall was a Grandmaster! Such a lineup is truly astonishing and unbelievable! This old servant even thought that my senses were wrong."

At this point, Wei Yong shook his head, his face full of disbelief.

"Moreover, one of them possesses unfathomable strength. This old servant exchanged a glance with him and could not discern his true abilities at all. This old servant surmises that this person has most likely reached the peak of the Grandmaster realm!"

"Not only that, the security in Prince Xuan's residence is extremely tight!"

"The guards surrounded us in layers, supporting each other, leaving virtually no blind spots. Let alone an ordinary person, even a top expert would find it incredibly difficult to sneak in undetected!"

"What's even more astonishing is that even the four maids in the manor possess the cultivation level of a Grandmaster!"

As the personal eunuch of the Xia Emperor, Wei Yong was able to stay by the emperor's side at all times, which naturally meant he possessed extraordinary abilities and exceptional qualities.

He was not only highly skilled in martial arts and meticulous in his thinking, but also extremely loyal to the Xia Emperor.

It is no exaggeration to say that if we were to discuss who the Xia Emperor trusted most in the entire Great Xia Dynasty, Wei Yong would undoubtedly be ranked first.

Therefore, Emperor Xia had no doubts about the situation reported by Wei Yong, but he was still extremely surprised and shocked.

Emperor Xia couldn't fathom where all these powerful individuals came from, or how Xia Taige had cultivated such loyal warriors.

Just like those three thousand heavy cavalry, they managed to deceive the imperial guards and remain hidden until now!

You must understand that Grandmasters are not commonplace; each one is a one-in-a-million powerhouse!

Even within the royal family's resources, there are probably only this many Grandmaster-level experts.

But that was achieved with the combined power of the entire dynasty and the guidance of even stronger figures.

What does Xia Taige rely on?

Is it because he frequents brothels?

Brothels?

Or is it due to his lazy nature?

Emperor Xia sighed helplessly!
