Thinking this, Shen Yuzhou almost couldn't catch his breath.
That's the Seventh Rank "Heavenly God Reincarnation"! Even if this "Heavenly God Reincarnation" is no longer so obedient. It still doesn't an she's worthless!
After all, even if the "Heavenly God Reincarnation" doesn't obey orders, she's still a Super Order combat force. Even if she refuses to listen, just her presence is enough to intimidate petty schers! She could guarantee over a decade of peace for the Sanctuary!
And now, just like that, Qiu Tu tricked her away?
Is there no justice left in this world?!
Thinking this, Shen Yuzhou's vision montarily went dark.
His hands trembled as he gripped the intel, sitting in his chair, desperately suppressing his agitation.
He pressed down, kept pressing. He managed for a minute, and then—"Ah!!" He howled and suddenly flipped the desk! He swept everything onto the ground!
"Crash!" Files scattered across the floor like broken butterflies. Desk lamp, ornants, teacups smashed to pieces on the ground!
Shen Yuzhou was like a maddened lion, breathing rapid and heavy, his chest rising and falling violently. His bloodshot eyes glared at the chaos around him, burning with fury.
Then he took several deep, heavy breaths, his eyes red, forcing himself to calm down again!
'It's not over yet! I can't be angry!'
'She says this is the Ninth Sanctuary, so it's just the Ninth Sanctuary? She says Qiu Tu is the Northwest King, you think Qiu Tu can really be the Northwest King?!'
Thinking this, Shen Yuzhou finally started to calm down.
He realized he'd fallen into an extre emotional spiral. Maybe things weren't nearly as dire as he'd thought.
After all, even though Princess Xi staged the coup as the Seventh Sanctuary "leader," directly changing regis and denying the signed agreents… that's just her own wishful thinking.
Legal authority can't just be changed at will! Agreents can't just be torn up so easily!
Does she really think all the strong ones of the Third Sanctuary are dead?!
Previously, the Third Sanctuary couldn't intervene in the Seventh Sanctuary's affairs because there was no justified reason.
But this ti, tearing up the law is exactly the justified reason they need!
The Seventh Sanctuary's actions are so egregious, within the Human Camp, this is fully legitimate grounds to act!
And don't forget, in this world, strength decides everything. The "Northwestern Region" has no sixth-rank experts, but the "Southwest Region" still has several!
The Seventh Sanctuary's highest is only peak fifth rank—the Third Sanctuary could just send anyone, and how could Princess Xi resist?
What, can they summon a second seventh-rank powerhouse besides Qiu Tu?!
Do you really think seventh-rank powerhouses grow on trees?!
And just as Shen Yuzhou was thinking these things, suddenly, there was a loud knock—"dong dong dong"—on his door.
Shen Yuzhou's face was cold and dark, and he said in a low voice, "Co in."
The next second, the study door swung open, and Shen Yuzhou's deputy stepped inside.
Seeing the wreckage all over the room, the deputy bowed his head quickly, pretending to have seen nothing.
Then he walked up to Shen Yuzhou's side and said in a soft voice, "Speaker, the latest news from the Ninth Sanctuary..."
"Seventh Sanctuary!" Maybe just hearing the term "Ninth Sanctuary" disgusted him—Shen Yuzhou looked furiously at his deputy.
In that instant, sweat broke out on the deputy's forehead. He hurried to bow and apologize, "Yes, the Seventh Sanctuary. Seventh Sanctuary."
Seeing his deputy's trembling humility, Shen Yuzhou's face finally eased a little.
He sank heavily into his chair, then asked in a deep voice, "Speak. What's happened in the Seventh Sanctuary?"
Finishing, as if recalling sothing, he asked again, "Did they realize that tearing up the agreent might provoke our wrath, so they've decided to follow it after all?"
Hearing that, the deputy froze, then looked utterly awkward. He said, "No… they haven't."
The deputy's answer made Shen Yuzhou's face darken again. He asked, "Then what have they done?"
The deputy coughed, choosing his words carefully, "They've reached so kind of agreent with the Fourth Sanctuary. Commander Li Feng personally offered her congratulations."
"Congratulated them on establishing a new Sanctuary."
Shen Yuzhou: !??
For a mont, Shen Yuzhou thought he must have misheard.
He jerked his head up, staring at his deputy in shock, "What did you say? Li Feng congratulated the Seventh Sanctuary?"
The deputy nodded awkwardly.
Shen Yuzhou's brows furrowed deeply, his expression shifting wildly.
How did the Seventh Sanctuary get tangled up with Li Feng?
As a high-ranking mber of the Third Sanctuary, he knew Li Feng had founded the Fourth Sanctuary to replace the Second Sanctuary as a check and monitor on the Third Sanctuary.
And now, with the Third Sanctuary's forceful intervention in the "Northwestern Region," it had indeed aroused Li Feng's wariness.
Lately, Shen Yuzhou had heard more than once about Li Feng secretly contacting the Kou family, attempting to influence the "offshore enclave" legislation.
Still, even if Li Feng wanted to check the Third Sanctuary, she wouldn't act against her own interests, right? So for the Seventh Sanctuary to gain Li Feng's support, they must have offered sothing in return?
That's the question: how much benefit could Lin Xi and her people offer Li Feng, how big a price were they willing to pay, that would make Li Feng stand up for them now?
Shen Yuzhou couldn't shake the feeling that sothing had happened he didn't know about.
He just didn't have enough pieces to see it clearly yet.
But... with this, everything instantly got far more complicated.
Because…Li Feng is no ordinary person—she's exactly what Shen Yuzhou had been referring to as a "seventh-rank powerhouse."
With soone like that—the supre combat force in the entire "Edge Region"—protecting Lin Xi, the Third Sanctuary simply couldn't make a move!
Especially now that Li Feng had personally congratulated the founding of the Ninth Sanctuary. Unless the Third Sanctuary was willing to openly fall out with Li Feng, there was no way they could rebrand Lin Xi's new regi as the Seventh Sanctuary.
