If it wasn't for Ji Xueyan, today's events would never have happened. Or if he didn't have a Heavenly Dao realm expert backing him, the officials would be weak while the Renhuang would be strong. It would be the same as always.

The last time he was rewarded, he did not hand over the Soul Palace and the Fentian Palace to him. He had some guesses in his heart. As the Human Ruler, he would not allow the balance to be lost. He would not allow one family to be dominant. He had to pave the way for the future Human Ruler. Would there be a situation where officials would encroach on the imperial power and become too big to lose? Today was a good time to try and see if his deduction was correct.
He patted the Five-Dragon Spirit Taming Belt and noticed that there were several gazes on his waist. They were not careless just because he was at the eighth tier of the Zongshi realm on the surface. This had never happened before.
