Let them offer their loyalty!

After all, for the Royalists: as long as the bloodline of King Kang remains on the throne and lives in luxury, their basic goal is achieved.

The Heir of Prince Kang is now only a little over one year old, even if they really eliminate the Kou family and maintain the political system as a "Dual Monarchic System," the heir still can't govern.

There isn't much difference from the current situation.

Furthermore... Qiu Tu suspects that since the Kou family can undertake such a regicide, wouldn't they negotiate with the Royalist leaders and lure them with interests?

In the end, the most malicious and crucial aspect of this plan is actually time.

Currently, Princess Xi is in the Eighth Sanctuary, and the most loyal part of the Royalists to her have all gone to the Eighth Sanctuary to rescue her.

King Kang suddenly passed away, and for Princess Xi to bring people back, it would take at least 3-5 days.

By then, it would be too late.

Not to mention seeing King Kang's body, they probably won't even see his ashes.

Adding to that, power had already slipped away earlier, and changing the political system will be very easy.

By then, Princess Xi will be powerless to reverse the situation...

Even... Qiu Tu speculates that to prevent Princess Xi from commanding remotely, the entire Sixth Sanctuary may likely use King Kang's death as an opportunity to close off and isolate all communication.

Now, to outsiders, the entire Sixth Sanctuary is likely a black box.

No one knows what is happening inside, nor what will happen.

Only after the dust settles will light return.

Thinking about this, even Qiu Tu couldn't help but shake his head.

Kou Xuan's move to "cut the ground from under the cauldron" was indeed clever, directly disrupting all the arrangements Princess Xi and he had made.

Luckily, although Qiu Tu has been preparing to intervene in the affairs of the Sixth Sanctuary, he hasn't officially stepped in yet.

If he wants to withdraw, he can do so at any time. Almost no loss.

The current Princess Xi... is different. She is likely caught in a dilemma.

After all, Kou Xuan's move directly hit her vital spot.

If she moves forward, the Royalists may have already divided internally, unable to support her continued claim to the throne.

If she moves backward, she and her son will never be able to hold the Supreme Power of the Sanctuary.

'So... what choice will you make?'

Thinking this, Qiu Tu couldn't help but look towards the direction of the Eighth Sanctuary...

....

At the same time, in the Eighth Sanctuary, the Fengtian Hotel. Presidential suite.

Princess Xi, dressed in luxurious attire, is looking frostily at the maid in front of her.

After the maid finished delivering all the intelligence without omitting anything, she wiped the sweat from her forehead and said, "This news was sent as a notice, so the guards are unsettled."

"Lord Ji is currently calming the guards over there and asked me to inquire what choice Her Highness wants to make."

Upon hearing the maid's words, Princess Xi's face darkened as if a storm was about to break.

Her hand clutched the intelligence, her heavy chest heaving angrily.

Yet she, who could find the most suitable path immediately after her family fell on hard times; who understood how to cultivate death soldiers in her teenage years; who in just a few years built a powerful Royalist faction, Princess Xi is clearly a woman with profound acumen and political skill.

So, she forcibly suppressed her emotions and asked solemnly, "What do Elder Guo, Elder Xiong, and Hayden have to say?"

The maid hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Returning, returning to Her Highness... not clear."

"Lord Ji, upon receiving the news, attempted first contact with Elder Guo."

"But the two barely spoke when the line was cut."

"Afterward, Lord Ji tried to restore communication, but after many attempts, none succeeded."

"Finally, he suspects it's the Kou family's doing, directly cutting off the main communication line to the outside of the Sanctuary."

"Now the Sanctuary is like an isolated island, unable to connect, no one knows what's happening."

Upon hearing this, Princess Xi's face turned icy cold.

However, the maid added finally, "But Lord Ji said, after contacting Elder Guo, he immediately confirmed the safety of the princely heir."

"The heir has now been moved to a secure location, heavily protected, and should be out of danger for a while."

Hearing this silver lining, the expression on Princess Xi's face finally softened a bit.

But she still closed her eyes and waved her hand at the maid, "You may leave now, I need some time alone."

Upon hearing Princess Xi's words, the maid hurriedly bowed and quickly left the room.

After the maid closed the door, only Princess Xi remained in the room.

She reached out to smash the things at hand to pieces, but as she lifted them into the air, she stopped abruptly.

Frozen for a few seconds, Princess Xi restrained her emotions and slowly placed the items back on the table.

Then she stood up, walked to the window of the presidential suite, and looked outside.

The Eight Great Shelters are the last masterpiece of human civilization in the Era of Disaster. Although they don't resemble the skyscraper-filled scenes before the Cataclysm, they still present a prosperous image.

Gazing down at the Eighth Sanctuary, Princess Xi couldn't help but think of the Sixth Sanctuary, reminiscent of her decade-long planning.

When Qiu Tu kissed Larilo earlier, he realized that the Evil God... seems a bit different from ordinary humans.

Their lips and bodies appear softer? More tender? Warmer?

Therefore, even this simple trick made Qiu Tu feel a kind of ultimate enjoyment.

'Is this the taste of an Evil God?'
