The crown prince, however, was displeased.

He just didn't want to give Zuo Tang too high a reward; well, you could call it hating the house because of the crow!

However, given the current situation, even Suo'etu is not on his side, so even though the Crown Prince felt extremely aggrieved, he could only endure it for the time being.

A decree has been issued, bestowing honors and rewards!

Send an imperial envoy!

Thus, Nalan Mingzhu, who proposed this method, became the imperial envoy sent to Zichuan City to deliver the imperial decree.

...

While the decision was being made in the capital, the grand banquet for the spirits continued in Zichuan City.

Others had broken through before, but those were all low-level breakthroughs, such as Foundation Establishment breaking through Fetal Breathing, or Fetal Breathing breaking through Bigu (a form of fasting). Zuo Tang, however, broke through from Nascent Soul to Deity Transformation, which is truly inspiring.

The grand feast, which had been somewhat disrupted by a dispute over cutting in line, returned to harmony.

Zuo Tang advanced to the Nascent Soul stage, becoming the most prominent cultivator in Zichuan City. Upon taking his seat at the grand spiritual banquet, he sat next to the Fourth Prince, replacing Wuliangha.

Uriyangkhad sat in Zuo Tang's seat without any complaints.

Unfortunately, as soon as Uriyangkhad sat down, the Fourth Prince looked at him coldly and said indifferently, "Uriyangkhad, since you don't even care about this royal feast, I won't force you to stay!"

"Su Peisheng, see the guests out!"

The Fourth Prince decisively dismissed the guest.

They had already broken ties with the Uriyangkhai. If Zuo Tang hadn't suddenly had a breakthrough opportunity, the Fourth Prince would have already driven the Uriyangkhai out.

However, it's not too late now; in fact, the timing is just right.

When cultivators advance in their cultivation, they are always met with a heavenly tribulation. If they cannot withstand the tribulation, their souls will be scattered, and they will not even have the chance to be reincarnated.

But now, with Zuo Tang's successful tribulation as an example, anyone with a clear head will understand whose leg to cling to at this time.

Uriyangkhad was taken aback for a moment by the Fourth Prince's direct attack.

"General Uriyangkha, please!"

Su Peisheng, however, obeyed the Fourth Prince's order and stood beside Wuliangha, speaking slowly.

"Your Highness, I was truly distracted!"

Uliangha rose, looked at the Fourth Prince, and spoke with unusual deference, "This servant swears by his own conscience, Heaven above, today I, Guoluo Uliangha..."

"Enough!"

The Fourth Prince coldly interrupted Uriyangkhad's oath.

"Don't you understand what I mean?"

"Don't pretend you don't know the truth here!"

"Leave now, and I will let it go. Otherwise, don't blame me for taking you down immediately to set an example!"

Since this person is impossible to win over, there's nothing more to say. If we can't be friends, then we're enemies; and since we're enemies, we should naturally sweep them away like autumn leaves in the wind.

"Su Peisheng, didn't you hear what I said?"

The Fourth Prince then looked at Su Peisheng and reprimanded him.

Upon hearing this, Su Peisheng quickly apologized, then looked at Wuliangha and slowly said, "General Wuliangha, please!"

"Your Highness, this servant takes his leave!"

Seeing this, Uriyangkhad could only obediently leave. Before leaving, he glanced at his trusted men, only to find that they all had their heads down and no one gave him a second look.

Those who understand the times are wise!

Cultivators fight demons and ferocious beasts without fear of death.

However, they were not afraid of dying in battle; they were afraid of dying meaninglessly, and even more afraid of dying with their souls scattered.

Zuo Tang sat beside the Fourth Prince, offering no comment on the Fourth Prince's expulsion of the Uriyangkhai. The moment he awoke from his coma after the tribulation, he had already firmly established his stance.

The moment the Uriyangkhad left the Yongqin Prince's Mansion, it meant that the actual control of Zichuan City had fallen into the hands of the Fourth Prince.

Damn you, God!

Uriyangkha left the palace and returned to his own residence, his heart filled with a mixture of hatred and regret.

He hated the Fourth Prince's targeting, and at the same time regretted his own foolishness.

But now, no matter what he thinks, whether he hates or regrets, some things are beyond change.

Transformation into a Divine Being!

If I were a Nascent Soul cultivator!

Uliangha was filled with resentment, fantasizing that if he achieved godhood, he could escape his current predicament.

As a result, just as Wuliangha was thinking this, a crack appeared in his cultivation, and the gate to the Nascent Soul stage opened for him.

"ah--!"

Feeling that his breakthrough was imminent, Wuliangha himself didn't know what his mindset was.

The breakthrough he had been dreaming of had finally arrived, but could he overcome it?

Thinking of the terrifying tribulation of Nascent Soul that Zuo Tang had experienced, Wu Liangha trembled with fear.

As a result of his delay, the thunderclouds of the Nascent Soul Heavenly Tribulation formed above his residence!

...

Inside Prince Yong's residence, the grand banquet was interrupted once again.

Upon seeing the terrifying thunderclouds looming in the sky, the Fourth Prince, without any hesitation, gave an order, and all the cultivators joined forces to rescue the residents surrounding the Wuliangha Mansion.

Once the lightning of the heavenly tribulation strikes, the Uriyangkhai mansion will surely be reduced to ashes, and the damage may even affect the surrounding streets. Anyone left in that area will undoubtedly die.

At the Fourth Prince's command, Zuo Tang was the first to leap out, followed by the eight Nascent Soul captains of the garrison.

Then, all the Golden Core cultivators set out together.

Everyone was rescued just before the first bolt of lightning struck.

boom!

Thunderbolts struck!

The power of this lightning tribulation was slightly weaker than the Six-Nine Tribulation that Zuo Tang faced, but this bolt of lightning still destroyed buildings within a ten-mile radius, and the rapid shockwave spread in all directions, affecting at least a quarter of Zichuan City.

"Everyone, listen to my command! Stay twenty miles away and withstand the remaining power of the heavenly calamity!"

"Especially the city walls, they must be protected!"

Seeing that the tribulation facing the Uriyangkhad was no less severe, the Fourth Prince once again gave the order.

If Zichuan City is destroyed by the Heavenly Tribulation, then once a beast tide breaks out, without the protection of the city walls and formations, they will be unable to stop it at all.

"Master, another heavenly tribulation has arrived. This time it's the Forty-Nine Wind and Fire Heavenly Tribulation. It tastes pretty good. May I go and have some?"

Taotie moved closer to Rong Xi and blinked its eyes.

Rong Xi rolled her eyes and said, "Eating is fine. But we need to be strategic!"

Cultivators, unless they undergo heavenly tribulations themselves, do not receive the baptism of heaven and earth's creation. Therefore, even if their realm increases, the benefits they receive will be much less.

Nobody knows this now, but who can guarantee that nobody will ever know it!

Therefore, if Taotie is going to devour the Heavenly Tribulation, it has to be done well, well, it has to be done so that the other party is willing and even says thank you!

"Master, what strategy are you talking about?"

Taotie glared, "We can't delay any longer! That guy might successfully transcend his tribulation on his own. If we're too late, we won't be able to eat him!"
