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

After Cang He left, Xia Taige found himself with nothing to do. Then, on a whim, he decided to go to the Zhenwu Division.

"Old Huang, get the car ready."

"Your Highness is here!" Old Huang replied casually.

As soon as the white dragon carriage arrived outside the Zhenwu Division's yamen, Zhao Gao, having received the news, hurriedly went forward to greet it.

"Your Highness!" Zhao Gao called out softly.

Xia Taige nodded upon hearing this, and with Zhao Gao's help, stepped down from the white dragon carriage.

"Let's go, let's go check out the imperial prison first!"

Since the last assassination attempt, Xia Taige finally remembered that there were still eight Grandmaster-level experts imprisoned in the Zhenwu Division's prison.

After passing through the heavily guarded layers of the imperial prison, Xia Taige and his party finally arrived at the deepest part of this gloomy and terrifying place.

Here, eight powerful figures, including the Grandmasters of the Divine Sect and the Great Thunderclap Temple, are imprisoned.

Looking around, Xia Taige saw that these once imposing and powerful figures were now like walking corpses.

The eyes of each person were like a stagnant pool, devoid of any ripples, as if nothing in the world could stir even the slightest emotion within them.

Even if Xia Taige, their mortal enemy, were standing right in front of them, they would remain indifferent and unmoved.

That makes sense; reaching the Grandmaster level in cultivation is no easy feat!

The hardships and efforts involved, the long years spent, and the endless dedication and energy required are simply unimaginable.

For those at the peak of the Grandmaster realm, it is as difficult and arduous as climbing a ladder to heaven.

But who could have predicted that after a lifetime of hard work and struggle to achieve such success, he would be crushed in an instant by the Zhenwu Division with overwhelming force, falling from the clouds to the dust.

How could an ordinary person bear such a huge sense of disparity?

Faced with this situation, even Xia Taige had to admit that the temperaments of these eight grandmasters were indeed extraordinary.

If it were anyone else, they probably wouldn't have been able to bear such a blow and would have chosen to commit suicide on the spot.

At this moment, Xia Taige turned his gaze to Zhao Gao beside him and casually asked:

"So, did you manage to get any useful information out of them?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Gao shook his head helplessly and replied with a sigh:

“Since these eight people were imprisoned in the imperial prison, they have not uttered a single word or eaten a single meal.”

"Why not just do what Grandmasters Cai and Wang did, hang him at the entrance of the Zhenwu Division, and let the Divine Sect and the Great Thunderclap Temple come to rescue him, while the Zhenwu Division takes the opportunity to fish for fish?"

As Zhao Gao spoke, his eyes gleamed with a sharp light.

Upon hearing this, Xia Taige was somewhat tempted, but after thinking it over, she shook her head.

The Cai and Wang families are family members, but the eight people in front of them are just members of a sect. It's hard to say whether to save them or not.

"Never mind, let's put it back!"

"Such a good example, why not let the other members of the Divine Cult and the Great Thunderclap Temple take a good look at it!"

Xia Taige's actions were meant to clearly tell the people of the Divine Sect and the Great Thunder Temple that if they wanted to come to Great Xia, they should be prepared for the fate of these eight people and whether they could bear it.

"Yes!" Zhao Gao replied.

Xia Taige nodded, looking at the eight people in front of him who remained unmoved even when he was about to put them back.

I couldn't help but shake my head inwardly, thinking to myself, "If only I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have done it in the first place."

Xia Taige would show no mercy to the person who tried to assassinate him, no matter how pitiful that person might be.

Without further thought, he turned and left the prison, heading towards the main hall.

Inside the main hall, Xia Taige sat in the main seat, while Zhao Gao reported on the establishment of the Zhenwu Division branch beside him.

"Your Highness, a few days ago, I discussed with Xiaoyaozi and the others that we would gradually radiate outwards from three points: the capital, the south, and the west."

“A few days ago, due to a shortage of manpower, I went to the Imperial Mausoleum with Your Highness’s token to summon a Grandmaster-level expert to the Western stronghold to take charge.”

"Xiaoyaozi, on the other hand, chose to go to the south to build the Zhenwu Division branch."

"Currently, the branch establishment is proceeding smoothly."

Zhao Gao carefully recounted the entire story of the branch.

Xia Taige nodded upon hearing this, and then took out a token from his pocket and handed it to Zhao Gao.

"If you encounter any difficulties in the future, you can take this token to the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion for help!"

"In the future, the Tianji Pavilion and the Zhenwu Division will share information. If there is anything unclear, you can go to the Tianji Pavilion to inquire."

The Zhenwu Division has a wide reach, and in the event of an accident, it may be difficult for the Zhenwu Division to act effectively. In such cases, one can seek help from the Tianji Pavilion.

The current Tianji Pavilion is extremely similar to the fully developed Zhenwu Division in the future. In terms of the strength of the higher-ups, the Tianji Pavilion is even stronger than the Zhenwu Division.

Xia Taige couldn't figure out the system's sign-in mechanism for a while, so he gave out some useless items, such as huskies.

They then gave out some extremely luxurious rewards.

It can be said that with just the Tianji Pavilion alone, Xia Taige has already firmly occupied the top of the continent, not to mention that he now also holds the Zhenwu Division and the Jinyiwei, as well as the seemingly useless identity of the Crown Prince of the Great Xia Dynasty.

At this point, for Xia Taige, the Crown Prince of Great Xia was a pity to abandon. The number of experts in the Great Xia Imperial Mausoleum might not be as many as those in the Zhenwu Division, let alone compared to the Tianji Pavilion.

Armed with sharp weapons, he harbored murderous intent.

At this moment, Xia Taige had already sentenced the Divine Sect and the Great Thunder Temple to death in his heart.

Once the persecution of Buddhism begins within the Great Xia Dynasty, it will also be time to take action against the Great Thunderclap Temple and the Divine Sect.

When Buddhism is destroyed, the Zhenwu Division and the Embroidered Uniform Guard will be able to free up their resources to reform the Great Xia system.

In this day and age, the Great Xia Dynasty is riddled with institutional flaws and deep-seated problems, much like a giant ship riddled with holes, struggling to move forward in the turbulent torrent of history.

Even Xia Taige, who had seen much in his previous life, couldn't help but wonder: if he hadn't appeared out of nowhere and turned the tide, could the Great Xia have survived for another ten years without collapsing?

It seems that even with the support of a supreme expert at the level of a terrestrial immortal, they would be powerless to reverse such a corrupt and incompetent state of affairs!

Looking across the entire officialdom, corruption is rampant and favoritism is commonplace, indicating that the system has rotted away from its very core.

The various thorny problems and intricate networks of interests it brings are more complex than imagined.

Sometimes, Xia Taige would even have an extreme idea—to simply raise the banner of rebellion, completely shatter and overthrow the old order, and then create a brand new empire himself, becoming a great ruler who establishes a new dynasty.

However, Xia Taige quickly dismissed the idea in her mind.

After a moment, Xia Taige shook his head and stopped thinking about it; there was no point in thinking about it now.

After calming down a bit, Xia Taige suddenly remembered something and asked:

"By the way, what's the current situation at the Wuji Palace? Come to think of it, they should have been there to oversee things for quite some time now."
