Realizing this, the various factions belatedly discovered... all 23 elders, except for Princess Xi, had been slaughtered by Princess Xi last night. Their homes were even ransacked...
Is there really no one who can take responsibility?
For a time, all the shelters and various factions were bewildered by Yan Yan's bizarre actions.
The most troublesome one was Shen Yuzhou.
When he saw the reply, his mouth remained agape for a long time.
What the heck? Shrine No. 9 isn't Shrine No. 7? Is this a violation of the "overseas enclave" law?
Then... what about the "reincarnation of a god" that I painstakingly cultivated? Was it all given away to Qiu Tu for free?

Chapter 620 Things Went Wrong! Princess Xi Loses Control (Monthly Ticket Giveaway Ends in 40 Hours)
Thinking this, Shen Yuzhou almost choked.
That's a seventh-tier "reincarnated god"! Even if this "reincarnated god" isn't so obedient anymore, it doesn't mean it's worthless!
After all, even if a "reincarnated god" is disobedient, they are still a super-level combatant. Even if they don't obey orders, their mere presence can deter troublemakers! They can maintain peace in the sanctuary for over a decade!
So, they've been fooled by Qiu Tu?
Is there no justice left in this world?!
Thinking this, Shen Yuzhou suddenly felt his vision blur.
His hands trembled as he held the intelligence report, sitting in a chair, trying his best to suppress his excitement.
He kept pressing down, pressing down. He kept pressing down for a minute, and then he yelled "Ah!!" and suddenly flipped the table over! Sweeping everything to the floor!
"Crackling!" The documents scattered all over the floor like broken butterflies, and the table lamp, ornaments, and teacups were smashed to pieces!
Shen Yuzhou was like a raging lion, his breathing rapid and heavy, his chest heaving violently. His eyes were bloodshot with rage as he stared at the mess before him.
Then he took two heavy breaths, his eyes bloodshot, and forced himself to calm down again!
'This isn't over yet! Don't get angry!'
'She says this is Shelter No. 9, so it's Shelter No. 9? And if she says Qiu Tu is the King of the Northwest, does that mean Qiu Tu can be the King of the Northwest?!'
Thinking this way, Shen Yuzhou finally calmed down.
He realized he was caught in a state of extreme emotion. Things might not actually be as serious as he thought.
After all, although Princess Xi staged a coup as the "Head of State" of the 7th Sanctuary, directly changing the dynasty, and did not acknowledge the agreements she had signed, it was merely wishful thinking on her part.
Can legal systems be changed at will? Can agreements be torn up at will?
Do you really think all the experts in the Third Shelter are dead?!
The reason why the Third Shelter couldn't intervene in the affairs of the Seventh Shelter was because it didn't have a legitimate reason.
However, this time tearing up the bill is a perfectly legitimate reason!
The Seventh Sanctuary went so far that, within the entire human camp, it could be considered to have a legitimate reason to act!
Moreover, don't forget, in this world, might makes right. While there are no Tier 6 experts in the Northwest region, there are several in the Southwest region!
With the highest level of combat power at the peak of the fifth rank in the 7th Shelter, how could Princess Xi possibly withstand any one of the 3rd Shelter's casual attacks?
Could they possibly summon a second seventh-tier expert besides Qiu Tu?!
Do you really think seventh-level experts are as common as cabbages?
Just then, as Shen Yuzhou was thinking this, there was a sudden knock on the door.
Shen Yuzhou's face was grim, and then he said in a deep voice, "Go in."
The next second, the study door was pushed open, and Shen Yuzhou's deputy stepped in.
Seeing the mess inside, he quickly lowered his head, pretending he hadn't seen anything.
Then he walked over to Shen Yuzhou and whispered, "Speaker, the latest update on Shelter No. 9..."
"The 7th Shelter!" Perhaps because he loathed the name "The 9th Shelter" too much, Shen Yuzhou glared angrily at his deputy.
In that instant, sweat poured down the deputy's forehead. He quickly bowed and apologized, "Yes, Shelter No. 7. Shelter No. 7."
Seeing his deputy's trembling and fearful expression, Shen Yuzhou's expression finally softened.
He slumped heavily into the chair, then asked in a deep voice, "Tell me. What happened at Shelter No. 7?"
After saying that, he seemed to have thought of something, and then asked, "Did they realize that breaking the agreement might provoke our anger, so they decided to abide by the agreement?"
Upon hearing Shen Yuzhou's words, the deputy was taken aback at first, then looked embarrassed. He said, "No...no, that's not it."
Hearing his deputy's denial, Shen Yuzhou's expression darkened again. He asked, "Then what happened to them?"
The deputy coughed, then said cautiously, "They've reached some kind of agreement with the Fourth Shelter. Commander Li Feng personally offered his blessings."
"Congratulations on establishing their new shelter."
Shen Yuzhou: ! ? ?
For a moment, Shen Yuzhou almost thought he had misheard.
He looked up abruptly, staring at his deputy in shock. "What did you say? Li Feng congratulated the 7th Shelter?"
The deputy nodded awkwardly.
Shen Yuzhou's brows were deeply furrowed, and his expression changed drastically.
How did the 7th Shelter get involved with Li Feng?
Although he was a high-ranking member of the 3rd Shelter, he knew that Li Feng's purpose in establishing the 4th Shelter had always been to replace the 2nd Shelter in restricting and monitoring the 3rd Shelter.
The Third Shelter's forceful intervention in the "Northwest Region" has indeed aroused Li Feng and his group's apprehension.
Shen Yuzhou had recently heard more than once that Li Feng was secretly contacting the Kou family, trying to influence the "overseas enclave" bill.
However, even if Li Feng wanted to restrict the Third Shelter, he couldn't just do things that harmed others without benefiting himself, right? So, there must be benefits for Li Feng and his group in cooperating with the Seventh Shelter, right?
The question then becomes: how much benefit and what price can Lin Xi and the others offer Li Feng to make her willing to stand up for them at this time?
Shen Yuzhou had a feeling that something must have happened that he didn't know about.
He simply didn't know because there were too few clues.
However... this suddenly made the whole thing incredibly complicated.
Because... Li Feng is none other than the "seventh-level expert" that Shen Yuzhou mentioned.
With such a powerful force standing at the very top of the entire "edge area" protecting Lin Xi, the 3rd Shelter simply couldn't make a move!
Especially now that Li Feng has personally congratulated the establishment of the 9th Shelter. Unless the 3rd Shelter publicly breaks with Li Feng, it has no way to redefine Lin Xi's new regime as the 7th Shelter.
If it were the Third Sanctuary, which had the power to contend with Li Feng when it had "Candle Dance" in hand, Shen Yuzhou would have been able to confront Li Feng head-on.
However, don't forget that "Candle Dance" has already been given to Qiu Tu. Now, no one in the Third Shelter is a match for Li Feng...
"This is fucking bastard! This is fucking bastard!" Shen Yuzhou cursed inwardly several times with a gloomy expression, but he couldn't finish his sentence!
He genuinely felt like he was having a run of bad luck lately. Everything had been going so smoothly before, how did things suddenly turn out like this!
However, he still has the guts to rise to a high position in the "lawful faction"!
Since the enemy is now powerful, there's no need to hesitate!
So he took a deep breath and made up his mind.
Since the 7th shelter is now in Li Feng's possession, let's put it on hold for now.
Anyway, what Qiu Tu traded with him was the "overseas enclave" rights of the two major shelters. Even if the 7th shelter is gone, there's still the 6th shelter!
We've already lost one piece of fat, we can't throw away the other one too!
Fortunately, Shelter 6 is closer to the "Southwest Region," so he can use Shelter 6 as a base first and then slowly infiltrate Shelter 7.
He simply refused to believe it. Could a military government really last forever?
Thinking this, he slowly came back to his senses.
As a result, when he came to his senses, he suddenly found that his deputy was still standing in front of him.
He glanced at his deputy, then frowned and asked, "Why are you still here?"
The deputy was a little embarrassed upon hearing this. But as a subordinate, he was already used to being bullied, so he said meekly, "Speaker, I haven't finished reporting my intelligence yet."
Shen Yuzhou was stunned for a moment, and a sense of foreboding suddenly welled up in his heart.
He looked up at his deputy, then asked in a deep voice, "What other intelligence is there?"
The deputy coughed and then whispered, "Just half an hour ago, the army from the 7th Shelter set off and attacked."
"Then... Lin Xi had previously rescued Xiao Heng and Li Hanxiang, the two pillars of the royalist faction, one skilled in literature and the other in martial arts." (Chapter 613)
"During this period, Xiao Heng and Li Hanxiang secretly contacted the remnants of the royalist faction and began to deploy manpower in several states bordering the 7th Sanctuary."
"Thus, with the help of the royalists from within and without, the 'Border State' of the Sixth Sanctuary, as well as the 'Smoke State' and 'Kang State' previously controlled by Xiao Heng, have all fallen."
“Our offices in those states also suffered devastating blows.”
"Although no one in the office was injured, they were simply taken into custody by the 7th Shelter. However... the Kou family has officially sent us a letter, citing 'war in the Northwest region,' suggesting that we temporarily withdraw from the 'Northwest region'..."
Upon hearing his deputy's words, Shen Yuzhou's face turned ashen, pale as paper.
The next second, he opened his mouth and suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, "Ugh—"
"Qiu Tu! Li Feng! Lin Xi!" Shen Yuzhou clutched his chest, his eyes bloodshot, glaring hatefully at the ground, almost bulging out of their sockets!
"I'm going to kill you all! Kill you all!"
Upon seeing this, the deputy was startled and quickly stepped forward to support Shen Yuzhou, then called out, "Speaker, Speaker, are you alright?"
At this moment, Shen Yuzhou was completely immersed in his emotions. Blood was flowing from his mouth as he muttered, "I'm going to kill you all! Kill you all!"
Seeing that Shen Yuzhou didn't respond, the deputy was finally terrified. He supported Shen Yuzhou and hurriedly shouted outside, "Doctor! Doctor! Get the guard regiment's doctor!"
In an instant, Shen Yuzhou's lodgings were thrown into chaos...
.......
Meanwhile.
While Shen Yuzhou was so angry about all this that he vomited blood.
Princess Xi was also sitting in a jeep, advancing with the army towards the front line of the 6th shelter.
Beside her, Yan Yan, with an angelic face but a completely different inner self, sat obediently.
There were only two people in the jeep besides the driver, which suggested that Yan Yan had indeed gained Princess Xi's trust. This allowed Yan Yan to communicate more freely with Princess Xi.
Just now, Yan Yan is looking up at Princess Xi with her angelic face, and then tentatively says with an admiring look, "Sister Xi Xi, you are so amazing."
"How did you come up with the idea of cooperating with General Li Feng and then using her to scare away the Third Shelter?"
Upon hearing Yan Yan's words, Princess Xi's beautiful face became serious. She didn't move, merely glancing at Yan Yan with a blank expression, before suddenly changing the subject.
"Yan Yan... I really think highly of you. Abandon Qiu Tu and come with me."
Upon hearing Princess Xi's words, even with Yan Yan's intelligence, her pupils contracted slightly, and the hairs on her body stood on end.
But the fact that she could act for so long under the noses of Yan Chen and her two best friends shows that her acting skills are definitely award-winning.
So her expression didn't change at all; she still looked at Princess Xi with that innocent, naive look, and then said purely, "Sister Xi, what are you saying? I was originally one of yours too."
"I don't know Qiu Tu or anything like that at all."
Hearing Yan Yan's words, Princess Xi chuckled. Then she bluntly said, "Do you really think I didn't see through your thoughts?"
Her gaze was deep and unfathomable, and then she said calmly,
"Your sudden approach to me some time ago actually aroused my suspicion."
"After all, back when we were in Dongye Prefecture, although we had a good relationship, it wasn't that close."
"Moreover, thinking back to our encounter in Dongye Prefecture, there are actually many suspicious points about you."
“At that time, I knew nothing about Qiu Tu. It was you who mentioned Qiu Tu to me several times that made me notice him.”
"And later, when I was hesitating, it was you who repeatedly and casually revealed Qiu Tu's information and strength, which finally made me make up my mind." (Chapters 491 and 528)
