While Su Xian, Fen Shuying, and Kang Huian were focused on gaining favor and popularity among various sects, Han Xifeng embarked on a remarkable endeavor of creating her own religion, all in accordance with Wang Jian's instructions.
Wang Jian's allies throughout the Empire skillfully propagated the rumors about the extraordinary powers possessed by the heiress of the Miracle Angel Tribe.
They emphasized that this tribe, which emerged from the treacherous Zhenguan Region alongside Wang Jian, wielded mystical abilities, and shared a spiritual connection with a divine entity.
This spiritual connection was none other than Han Xifeng herself.
Convincing the onlookers and the general populace was a relatively simple task, as Han Xifeng only needed to showcase her Spirit of the Holy Angel Amara
By employing her spirit, she openly healed numerous individuals, whether their wounds were physical or spiritual, unveiling the true extent of her genuine power.
This captivating display of prowess solidified Han Xifeng's trustworthiness in the eyes of all, catapulting her popularity to unprecedented heights.
Although her fame surged primarily within a few cities, it was enough to draw the attention of the church, whose concern stemmed from the fear that she could potentially pose a significant threat to their religious authority.
As fate would have it, Wang Jian's faction found itself engulfed in a tempest of adversity upon the early return of Wang Hao and Wang Ying's factions from the Sacred Dominion. The serene equilibrium shattered, replaced by a storm of challenges.
Seizing the opportunity, Wang Hao and Wang Ying swiftly reasserted their authority over their factions, wasting no time in implementing a series of policies that galvanized their followers to take action against Wang Jian's rising influence.
Having personally witnessed Wang Jian's awe-inspiring prowess within the Sacred Dominion, both siblings harbored a deep-seated awareness that if he were to unleash his full potential upon the Empire, he would undoubtedly emerge as the most formidable contender for the coveted position of the next Emperor.
Fueled by their trepidation and determined to halt his ascent, they conspired to dismantle his faction before it could fully bloom and present a legitimate threat to their own ambitions.
Their assault was relentless, an onslaught of aggression that wreaked havoc upon Wang Jian's loyal allies. Clans, families, sects, and organizations that had aligned themselves with him fell victim to their ruthlessness, their hopes and dreams extinguished in a wave of bloodshed.
Yet, despite the ferocity of the combined attacks from Wang Hao and Wang Ying's factions, Wang Jian's faction endured, their survival owed to the unwavering protection provided by Bai Liqin and the formidable experts she had diligently cultivated over the years.
Aware that directly confronting Bai Liqin would be a formidable task due to the immense influence wielded by the Bai Clan, Wang Hao and Wang Ying recognized the need to employ the political power of their own mothers.
They mustered their courage and beseeched their mothers to take action against Bai Liqin, their voices united in a rare show of solidarity.
Even the mothers of Wang Hao and Wang Ying hesitated, acutely aware of the Bai Clan's significant clout. However, driven by their shared desire to curb Wang Jian's influence, they resolved to implore the Emperor himself to suppress Bai Liqin and curtail her support for Wang Jian's faction.
To their astonishment, their ploy proved successful, and the Emperor, swayed by their arguments, decreed a severe punishment for his beloved wife. Bai Liqin, a woman of indomitable spirit, would be imprisoned within the forbidding confines of the Azure Rocks Silent Dungeon for an agonizing month.
The prospect of such incarceration was nothing short of torment for someone of Bai Liqin's stature. Yet, resolute in her devotion to her son, Wang Jian, she resolved to endure any hardship thrown her way.
Before being consigned to her desolate fate, Bai Liqin urgently dispatched messages to her dear friends, beloved relatives, and loyal benefactors, imploring them to muster all their efforts to safeguard her son's faction.
She would willingly endure even greater punishment than imprisonment if it meant preserving the fruits of her son's tireless endeavors.
But there was more to come. Upon the return of Wang Chen, the enigmatic Third Prince, and his faction, they swiftly enacted a strategic move that caught even their closest allies off guard—the relocation of their palace.
Now, the whereabouts of the Third Prince's faction were shrouded in secrecy, hidden from prying eyes. Not a soul, not even his most trusted confidants, knew the precise location of their stronghold.
To compound matters, the once-unbreakable alliance between the Third Prince and the revered Jade Serpent Sect crumbled into dust.
In a bold declaration, the sect severed all ties with the enigmatic prince, proclaiming their complete disassociation from his faction.
The severed alliance stemmed from an incident that had left an indelible mark on the Third Prince's trust.
It was during a harrowing encounter with formidable demon adversaries that members of the Jade Serpent Sect had forsaken him, leaving him to face the dire threat alone.
The passage of time acted as a catalyst, and the news of Wang Jian's exceptional talents and his awe-inspiring exploits within the sacred domain of the Butterfly Spirit Race began to trickle throughout the vast expanse of the Empire.
The people marveled at Wang Jian's extraordinary achievements and the depth of his mastery over the Laws of various elements. His combat prowess was hailed as one of the mightiest among the Royal Princes.
Their astonishment knew no bounds when they learned that he had triumphed over Zyrithia, the Nether Curseweaver Devil Princess, a feat that seemed inconceivable.
But Wang Jian's triumph didn't end there. He also exposed the true identity of Ye Chen, who had fallen into the clutches of darkness and become a demon.
It was no surprise, then, that Wang Jian's faction garnered immense public support. Neutral factions that had remained undecided among the Royal Princes swiftly rallied behind the Seventh Prince.
Wang Jian's rising popularity, his awe-inspiring combat abilities, and the revelation of his relationship with Hong Meilin all contributed to this groundswell of support.
The news of Wang Jian's close bond with Hong Meilin, the revered Saintess of the Church of Divine Light, sent shockwaves throughout the Empire.
The mere idea of a Saintess engaging in a romantic entanglement with a man seemed unfathomable. Yet, the rumors and reports of their relationship originated from trusted confidants of the Crown Prince and the Second Princess, leaving little room for doubt.
The followers of the Church were consumed by anger at this scandalous revelation.
They vowed to confront Hong Meilin, demanding answers, and pressing her to either sever ties with Wang Jian or publicly refute the rumors surrounding their relationship.
The followers were determined to unravel the truth and uphold the sanctity of their beloved Saintess.
Amidst the stabilization of the Windhaven Kingdom, Mei Yan's Celestial Dragon Sect branch played a crucial role, joining forces with the Windhaven Royal Family to restore order.
Chen Yiyan, coordinating efforts with Mei Yan, ensured that all organizations, sects, and associations fell in line with her father's commands.
However, when news reached Chen Yiyan about the perilous situation facing Wang Jian's faction in the Empire, she wasted no time.
Determined to aid her husband's cause, she swiftly assembled a group of experts and set off to lend support.
King Chen willingly provided her with the kingdom's top experts for this expedition, though they were limited to King Realm expertise and couldn't bring about a significant change.
Nonetheless, their presence alleviated some of the pressure.
Meanwhile, Lady Xia embarked on a venture of her own.
Collaborating with a team of Miracle Angel Tribe members, she established an organization focused on producing a range of extraordinary beauty products and enchanting perfumes.
Their first store opened its doors in the capital, offering these exclusive items at a premium price. Crafted using secret methods of the Miracle Angel Tribe and rare herbs, the products' exorbitant prices caused quite a stir among the city dwellers.
Realizing that potential customers hesitated due to the steep costs, Lady Xia devised a clever strategy.
She decided to offer free trials of their remarkable products, allowing each person the opportunity to experience them once in their lifetime.
Curiosity piqued, several women eagerly tested the perfumes and beauty products.
The results were nothing short of astonishing—a qualitative transformation that ignited a sensation throughout the city.
Suddenly, seven ordinary-looking women became captivating beauties, their allure so potent it could upend kingdoms.
Sensing the opportune moment, Lady Xia unveiled the truth behind these miraculous beauty creations—they were products of the Seventh Prince Wang Jian's faction.
This revelation sent ripples of excitement and intrigue across the realm, further fueling the anticipation and curiosity surrounding Wang Jian and his faction's endeavors.
Lady Xia's organization that specializes in selling exquisite beauty products for women is known as "Elysian Blossoms." The name "Elysian" represents a realm of perfect beauty and bliss, while "Blossoms" evokes the blooming of femininity and the allure of nature's delicate flowers.
In a stunning turn of events, the illustrious Elysian Blossoms Organization was struck by a devastating blow—a merciless raid carried out by a band of ruthless mercenaries. Swarming into the store like shadows in the night, they pillaged every precious beauty product, leaving behind a trail of shattered dreams and stolen hopes.
Within the confines of the store, the courageous workers endured unimaginable torment, their spirits unyielding despite the pain inflicted upon them. They remained tight-lipped for they were unaware of the hidden location of the precious warehouse.
Even the Night Dagger Clan members and the Crimson Mammoth Tribe, entrusted with protecting Elysian Blossoms, found themselves spread thin, battling to safeguard their own organizations and allies within Wang Jian's faction.
But as fate would have it, the tides were about to turn. In the midst of despair, a beacon of hope emerged as Wang Jian, the prodigious Seventh Prince, returned to his faction. His arrival signaled a resurgence of strength and a determination to reclaim what had been taken.
