Facing the royal strongman who hurriedly arrived, Lu Yan's lips slightly curled, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Long before Marquis White secretly decided to take action against the Union, plotting to dispatch saints for an ambush, an invisible thread of causality had silently formed between Lu Yan and the White Family.

With Lu Yan's extraordinary position, such subtle fluctuations naturally couldn't escape his perception.

Using probability clouds to trace causality, Lu Yan descended upon this heavily guarded estate using moonlight as a medium.

He crushed the White Family's petty tricks and the three saints together in their cradle.

Being the capital of the Victoria Kingdom, any saint-level extraordinary fluctuation in Oranck City was akin to a blazing fire in the night, inevitably attracting the scrutiny of various strong figures.

Lu Yan initially thought that the situation at the last banquet would repeat itself, where the Church's strongmen would use mysterious sealed objects to observe and interfere from afar.

However, tonight, the Steam Sect was as silent as a sleeping giant, while the royal strongmen hurriedly arrived as soon as Lu Yan counterattacked, their oppressive force unmistakably intimidating all around.

Under the moonlight, Lu Yan's eyes narrowed slightly, and in an instant, he understood the hidden intrigue.

The actions of the White Family were not a lone act but secretly intended by the royal family.

The meeting today was essentially a purge targeting the Union.

Three saints hunting Lu Yan alone would inevitably cause extraordinary fluctuations that would ripple throughout Oranck City, such intense action must have been discussed with the Steam Sect in advance, and received the tacit approval of the Church's higher-ups.

Because of this, when Lu Yan slew the three saints of the White Family, the Divine Hall of the Steam Sect remained silent observers, forcing the royal strongmen to intervene personally to prevent total chaos.

Realizing this intricately woven plan, Lu Yan looked up at the imposing figure in the sky, his eyes revealing a subtle mockery.

Long before, when the Union began to accelerate its expansion, Lu Yan already knew that sooner or later, the Union would directly confront the great nobles who had entrenched themselves for millennia and even the royal family of the Victoria Kingdom.

Those nobles, because they feared unforeseen consequences, delayed their action until now, which has already provided the Union ample opportunity for growth.

Now it's merely bringing what was hidden into the open; as long as the Steam Sect doesn't interfere, it's a good thing for Lu Yan.

As thoughts flowed, the royal demigod had already arrived above the estate.

The moonlight was like water, washing away the worldly aura from the demigod, yet making his blood-red formal attire appear even more luxurious and majestic.

The parliamentary hall was in complete disarray, spiderweb-like cracks covered the marble floor, and shards from the expensive crystal chandeliers were scattered everywhere.

Lu Yan crushed three saints with overwhelming force, yet the aftershock of the saints' battle did not spread much, and there were still many survivors among the great nobles in this parliamentary hall.

Upon witnessing the royal demigod's arrival, a noble immediately showed a look of shock and rekindled hope in their eyes, hurriedly shouting in praise:

"Hail Prince Rein!"

"It's Prince Rein, we are saved!"

"Prince Rein made his name great seven hundred years ago, hasn't shown himself for hundreds of years, perhaps has already entered the realm of demigods."

"Your Highness Prince Rein, please slay this traitor!"

The royal demigod known as Prince Rein slowly descended, each step he took landed in the void, and the invisible oppressive force surged like a tide.

He did not immediately take action but instead scrutinized Lu Yan with a heavy gaze, like a chess player examining unforeseen variables on the board.

Prince Rein's eyes flickered with complex emotions: surprise, doubt, vigilance, and a faint hint of worry.

As a top strongman within the royal family, Prince Rein had been stationed at the Royal Palace guarding Oranck for thirty years, his authority even rivaling that of the current King.

He was not only the guardian of the royal family but also the overseer of royal power.

Today's matter, the White Family's purge of the Union, instigating saints' battle, had all been reported to him and received his permission, even informing the Church.

What was thought to be a trivial matter, a battle of overwhelming superiority, unexpectedly, the White Family had not thoroughly investigated Lu Yan's capabilities.

Prince Rein furrowed his brow, his gaze was sharp, attempting to penetrate Lu Yan's essence.

"His aura fluctuates, sometimes like a mere Sequence 5 mortal, sometimes resembles the vastness of a demigod. Could such a person be merely a saint?"

As time passed, Prince Rein was already feeling a sense of difficulty.

The extraordinary path he walked was called the King's Path, a path opened by gathering the strength of the Seven Great Kingdoms, almost rivaling the True God Church.

This is a rare path of authority, which upon its extreme allows one to control a nation's life and death.

The King's Path Sequence 3: Regent's Throne, bears the foundation of the kingdom's law, and every citizen of the kingdom cannot escape the decree of the Regent's Throne.

Every order from Prince Rein descends like law, making it irresistible to the citizens.

When Lu Yan intended to slay the three saints of the White Family, Prince Rein had tried to stop Lu Yan with the Throne Decree, the sound of law shaking the entirety of Oranck City.

Yet he was stunned to find that the Throne Decree had no effect on Lu Yan, and the three saints were still easily slain.

Be aware that the Throne Decree pertains to legal rules, not something that can be avoided by changing nationality.

As long as one is within the Victoria Kingdom, living and interacting in the kingdom, they are considered a citizen and thus subject to the Throne Decree, yet Lu Yan completely ignored the legal rules as though transcending the kingdom's law itself.
