Then, Let Them Offer Their Loyalty!
Chapter 1400 - 610: Ascension to Leader of the Seventh Sanctuary
He analyzed, "We are the largest surrender faction in the Seventh Sanctuary, directly surrendering to Qiu Tu. It can almost be said that we are Qiu Tu's direct forces in the Seventh Sanctuary."
"As for Princess Xi, although she is Qiu Tu's partner, the interests have now clashed. Therefore, Qiu Tu is bound to support another faction to balance Princess Xi."
"Which is us!"
Upon hearing Wei Zhengze's analysis, the intelligence officer smiled knowingly at Wei Zhengze, then nodded, "Yes."
"In fact, this trend had already become apparent recently."
"After Qiu Tu captured the sanctuary, although he purged the Elder Council, the ones purged were those aligned with the Zhao family and the Han family."
"The factions close to our Wei family were almost untouched by Qiu Tu."
"This has greatly preserved our strength."
"Even after Princess Xi ascended, taking the moral high ground, she can only compromise with us."
This intelligence officer is clearly a think tank for the Wei family.
Many of the Wei family's previous decisions were probably proposed or modified by him.
Therefore, after listening to the intelligence officer's words, Wei Zhengze nodded with satisfaction and agreed, "That's right. Exactly."
He confirmed the next move for the Elder Council, "Since that's the case. In the afternoon meeting, I'll remain silent no matter what happens."
The intelligence officer slightly nodded, accepting the response.....
.....
Meanwhile, at the Sixth Sanctuary. Central Hub.
"Bang!" The door of the study was pushed open from the outside, crashing hard against the wall.
As the door opened, Kou Yu stormed in angrily.
Seated behind the desk, signing his name, Kou Xuan glanced at his brother, then gestured to the sofa next to him, "Sit."
After speaking, Kou Xuan continued to lower his head and write on the document.
Hearing Kou Xuan's words, Kou Yu angrily walked over to the sofa and sat down heavily.
"Brother, aren't you anxious at all?"
"I already know, Qiu Tu has sold us out!"
Hearing Kou Yu's words, Kou Xuan continued to smile slightly as he corrected a document.
After completing the correction of the document, Kou Xuan leisurely put down his pen.
Instead of directly answering his brother's question, he suddenly brought up an unrelated matter.
"Commander Li Feng from the Fourth Sanctuary contacted me on behalf of the Second Sanctuary."
Kou Yu was stunned, then looked at Kou Xuan with surprise.
Kou Xuan leaned back in his chair and slowly said, "She said, based on years of observation, she believes that after Qiu Tu is gone, the Kou family is actually the most suitable force to become the ruler of the 'Northwestern Region.'"
"If we are willing to cooperate with her, the Second Sanctuary will support our sanctuary, just like supporting the Third Sanctuary."
"This will not only help us eliminate the possibility of becoming a semi-colony, but also allow us to develop substantially."
Hearing his brother's words, Kou Yu was shocked and said, "Commander Li Feng has such an identity?"
Kou Xuan pointed to his eyes and said, "From a certain perspective, the experts of the Second Sanctuary cannot reach the 'Edge Region,' so they need an agent to observe and assess the changes in the 'Edge Region's' situation."
"And Commander Li Feng is clearly that agent."
Kou Xuan paused for a moment, "Based on Commander Li Feng's observations and conclusions, the various wild maneuvers of the Third Sanctuary are too crazy."
"So, having one Third Sanctuary is enough. She doesn't want the entire Human Camp to be led astray."
"Therefore, she chose the Kou family."
At this moment, Kou Yu was actually not interested in who the agent was. He was more concerned about whether Kou Xuan agreed or not.
So, he couldn't help but ask, "So, brother, did you agree?"
Hearing this, Kou Xuan indeed brought the topic back. He shook his head slightly and said, "No, I haven't given her a definitive answer yet."
"I told her to wait a couple of days, and then I would give her the result."
Speaking of this, Kou Xuan paused, then said, "I still want to see the dust settle at the Seventh Sanctuary first."
"Let's see what Lin Xi chooses...."
...
Soon, in the blink of an eye, the morning quickly passed.
1 PM. Elder Council's conference hall.
At this time, the long table on both sides of the conference hall was already filled with elders.
Perhaps because it was the first time the uncrowned king of the 'Northwestern Region,' Qiu Tu, convened the Elder Council, the elders all arrived early and without exception.
A few elders even sat down sweating profusely, their clothes soaked with sweat, clearly having hurried to avoid being late....
This also showed Qiu Tu's current prestige throughout the 'Northwestern Region'....
Soon, as the clock's hand pointed to "3," Qiu Tu and Princess Xi arrived together.
As soon as they appeared, the elders present immediately sensed something amiss.
Because.... Qiu Tu maintained a slight smile, while Princess Xi's face was emotionless, as if someone owed her millions.
They walked to the main and vice seat and sat down, and the noisy discussion in the entire hall gradually subsided.
Coldly scanning everyone present, Princess Xi authoritatively said, "This time, we are convening the Elder Council mainly to discuss a major issue."
Hearing Princess Xi's words, the elders exchanged glances and quickly adjusted their postures, secretly thinking, "Here it comes."
