When Qiu Tu was here, he could help Princess Xi suppress the Wei family, but now that Qiu Tu has left, Princess Xi might not be able to keep the Wei family in check anymore.
So, when Qiu Tu nad the successor, the Elders all turned their eyes to Princess Xi and Elder Wei who sat on either side of Qiu Tu.
Princess Xi looked dignified, with no extra expression. Elder Wei, on the other hand, wore a faint smile and glanced at Princess Xi with a hint of provocation in his eyes.
Qiu Tu caught both of their expressions, but said nothing.
He was Princess Xi's ally, not her father.
Even if Princess Xi might call Qiu Tu "father" in the future, there's no way he could arrange everything for her.
Thinking this, after giving all his instructions, Qiu Tu didn't say anything more. Instead, he stood and gave the main seat to Princess Xi.
Princess Xi, without any courtesy, sat back in the main seat. According to protocol, she affird Qiu Tu's governance over the past half month, and discussed the future ahead.
Just like that, the eting ended, and all matters were handed over.
With Princess Xi and the others seeing him off, Qiu Tu left the Senate, got into the car with "Candle Dance" disguised as Shen Lingshuang, and headed toward the "Isolation Mountains."
After over six hours of arduous travel, Qiu Tu arrived at the "Isolation Mountains."
Tang Feifei, Guan Xiao, Liu Fuping, Liu Xiongyuan, Dai Yukang, Chen Feng, Eagle, Atai and other close aides were already waiting there.
And all the spies from the various factions in the "Northwestern Region" and "Southwest Region" were also gathered here.
Obviously, everyone was watching Qiu Tu's departure.
He t with those close won and his loyal friends one by one, giving them instructions.
Under everyone's gaze, Qiu Tu and "Candle Dance" stepped into the "Isolation Mountains."
The "Isolation Mountains" are a one-way path; after surpassing Sixth Rank, you can't co back once you step in.
So, when they saw Qiu Tu enter the "Isolation Mountains," every force keeping an eye on him finally let out a sigh of relief.
Qiu Tu's rise over these three years was like an accelerator for the "Edge Region."
The once-stable political environnt changed on a daily basis, almost too much to keep up with.
Moreover, Qiu Tu's talent was simply too great, and his power increased too fast.
Now, Qiu Tu already possessed power comparable with Seventh Rank and terrifying combat strength.
The various factions had been crushed to the point they could barely breathe.
Now that Qiu Tu and "Candle Dance" had entered the "core area" together, the pressure on all the forces in the "Edge Region" imdiately eased.
This was as if two deities had just been sent away at once.
Of course, not all factions believed Qiu Tu really entered the "core area."
Thus, so cautious factions specially stationed their eyes on the other side of the "Isolation Mountains," wanting to see if Qiu Tu had truly crossed over.
And in the end... they saw Qiu Tu and "Candle Dance" erge from the "Isolation Mountains," get picked up by Rain Butterfly's personally led motorcade, and head straight for the "Western Kingdom."
The "Isolation Mountains" cut off inside and outside; neither clones nor remote control can penetrate this blockade.
So this ti, only Qiu Tu himself could have left.
At this point, they finally completely believed Qiu Tu had left the "Edge Region."
For a mont... whether in the "Southwest Region" or the "Northwestern Region," an eerie silence fell...
Everyone guessed that after Qiu Tu left, sothing major was likely to break out in the "Edge Region." So factions were even ready to stir up trouble. Yet... they were all waiting for the first person to ignite this chaos...
.....
At the sa ti.
In Tang Feifei's returning convoy to the Four States. In Tang Feifei's car.
Tang Feifei, dressed in a formal suit, silently and carefully adjusted a man's collar.
The man was in a black suit, looking young, yet exuding an intimidating aura that spoke of authority.
A single glance at him was like seeing a towering mountain.
If scouts from any of the factions were here, they would recognize this man instantly as Qiu Tu, who just crossed the mountains to the "core area"!
After tidying up Qiu Tu's clothes, Tang Feifei gave him a calm glance with her wheat-colored face, then looked to the car's front passenger seat and asked, "Minister Guan, any new intel?"
Hearing Tang Feifei, Guan Xiao in the passenger seat agreed, then turned with a smile to Qiu Tu and Tang Feifei,
"Garrison commander. My latest intel: Lord Candle Dance did as the Speaker commanded, controlling the Uncompromising Simulacrum to cross the 'Isolation Mountains.'"
"Rain Butterfly has already picked them up. They probably won't be exposed for now."
Hearing this, before Qiu Tu could speak, Tang Feifei nodded slightly, her wheat-colored face turning to Qiu Tu as she said flatly, "The 'Isolation Mountains' cut off inside and outside. Abilities cannot penetrate the mountains."
"So, you can't control a clone in the 'core area' from the 'Edge Region,' nor vice versa."
"But... that doesn't an a person can't take their clone through the mountains."
Tang Feifei paused here, then added, "It's just... your power is too strong. Peak Sixth Rank strength—an ordinary Cataclysmic can't possibly imitate your aura and might."
