According to Princess Xi, ever since Qiu Tu's eighteen hundred Dark Soldiers joined the fray, the Kou family's line has been retreating continuously, and now they are almost pushed back to Central City.
However, Princess Xi has a lingering worry in her heart; she feels the Kou family won't give up so easily, and they surely have other tricks up their sleeves.
Thus, Princess Xi wants to seize the opportunity, while the Kou family hasn't fully reacted yet, to take down Central City in one go, erase the Kou family, and regain control of the Sixth Sanctuary.
So, she hopes Qiu Tu can provide her with more support.
To ensure she can win this battle.
However, compared to Princess Xi, Qiu Tu is not so optimistic.
From his interactions with Kou Xuan, he feels that Kou Xuan is not the type to wait for doom, nor the type to stand solely on one side.
He's still waiting for news from , and if I don't give a clear enough answer, he's likely to seek another way out....
...
And at this mont, as Qiu Tu and Princess Xi are progressing further.
The Sixth Sanctuary, Central City.
Kou Xuan, Kou Yu, and three other n exuding a scholarly air but looking sowhat gloomy.
The three are clearly Kou Tianyou, Marquis Yu, and Han Dong, among the ten elites of the Kou family.
Due to their exceptional abilities and family support, these three hold important positions in various departnts of the Sixth Sanctuary.
Tonight, the five have gathered here, obviously to discuss significant matters.
Han Dong said, "In these past few days, I had a chat with the people from the Seventh Sanctuary."
"Their stance is... they will send people to participate in this war. But the number of Cataclysmics can't be too many, at most only 200."
"After all, their situation is a bit precarious themselves, and they can't spare too many people."
Hearing Han Dong's words, Marquis Yu nodded slightly and said, "The situation at the Seventh Sanctuary is indeed complex now."
"Or rather, it's beco quite complicated since the 'Partridge Platform Incident' more than a decade ago."
"So, we must not be hasty."
After speaking, Marquis Yu paused and then said, "I do have so good news on my side."
"The Third Sanctuary has given us a definite answer: Deputy Speaker Shen Yuzhou will visit the Sixth Sanctuary, and his daughter will accompany him."
Hearing Marquis Yu's words, the other four people present, including Kou Xuan, couldn't help but frown lightly.
The next second, Kou Yu couldn't hold back.
"I rember her na is Shen Lingshuang, right?"
Seeing Marquis Yu agree, Kou Yu said, "That Witch stirred up quite a fuss when she last visited our Sanctuary."
"Why is she coming this ti when her father has official business?"
Marquis Yu, a middle-aged man with a slightly bald head, shiny forehead, and gold-rimd glasses.
After hearing Kou Yu's words, he hesitated, glanced at Kou Xuan first, and then slowly said, "According to our intelligence from the Third Sanctuary, that Miss Shen is a bit unusual."
"Although her publicly disclosed information states she's at the Peak Fourth Rank, but... it seems she's far beyond that."
"There once was a rumor circulating among the upper classes of the Third Sanctuary. It said that the reason Shen Yuzhou can sit so securely in the position of Deputy Speaker is actually... all because of his daughter."
Hearing Marquis Yu's words, Kou Yu squinted slightly, "Unusual? But she seed like an ordinary sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl when we t last ti."
"Could it be exaggerated?"
And at this mont, seated in the main seat and having remained silent, Kou Xuan slowly spoke.
He gently, rhythmically tapped the armrest of the rosewood chair. As if he had recalled sothing, he softly murmured, "Shen Lingshuang... Shen Lingshuang..."
Monts later, he looked up at the people around him and then asked, "Do you rember Qiu Tu's personal secretary's na?"
