“Forcing a rebellion is a bit difficult…” Qin Muye felt it was feasible, but implementing it was quite complex. To start a rebellion, he needed troops, right? He couldn’t expect the Royal Family to charge into battle, and they had to be willing too.

“Of course, those with Eye Power can be kept and raised, after all, you need some mascots and facades to make it work.”

“High energy vibration, the magnitude has reached the 8th tier. Analysis of energy fluctuations indicates that two 8th tier beings are clashing underground. Everyone, evacuate quickly!!!”

“And one more thing, where has Chen Liuhuan reached?” Speaking of the Iron Blood Army, Qin Muye recalled the Chen Liuhuan they had let roam free. He didn’t pay attention to these matters.

“Alright, you guys handle it. This bunch is a nuisance anyway, and might become an obstacle in the future,” Qin Muye immediately agreed to the plan. If these people were capable, he wouldn’t mind keeping them.

“Okay, everyone evacuate first, seal up the Snake Father Altar. The project will have to wait for the results of the investigation to proceed,” a Spirit Monster quickly arranged for others to pack up everything and head to the Endless Abyss.

“It seems that Snake Father indeed is of the 9th tier. Even though he can’t act directly, from the indirect methods, he appears to be much freer than me.”

“We’ve currently broken through the northern grasslands and reached a tundra that appears similar to the Arctic. Since most of the Iron Blood Army men are ordinary people with no entry into Martial Arts, they can’t delve deeper and are now on their way back to Great Qian.”

“So, what does the mastermind say? Kill them directly or keep them to raise like pigs?” Qin Muye asked.

“So first, gather all the remaining members of the Royal Family, then find a way to force their hand and throw them back in as material.”

“It must have been Snake Father’s intervention that saved She Xi; otherwise, with his capabilities, he wouldn’t have been able to counteract the aftereffects left by the Disease Spirit Monster.”

“Keep them for now, the Primordial Dragon has discovered that using these members of the Royal Family tainted with the fate of the nation as material greatly improves the effect.”

“Tsk, he really does have some ability, worthy of someone blessed with the Main Character Aura. Just a little guidance is all it takes for such a powerful potential to erupt.”

“This Great Qian really is plagued with disasters. I don’t even know who we managed to offend…” Qin Muye complained, truly feeling the situation was terrible.

“Are these people not dead yet?” Qin Muye was puzzled. During the previous major purge, he thought all the collateral members of the Royal Family had been sent to the Primordial Dragon as material, but surprisingly, there were still survivors.

“Master, the latest intelligence is that part of the Royal Family is heading towards the Imperial City, seemingly discontented,” the Evangelical Spirit Monster by his side provided some unexpected intelligence.

“Master, you’ve forgotten about the various disbanded troops in the Imperial City. They are extremely dissatisfied with their current lives. All we need is a slight nudge, and then temporarily withdraw the stationed Iron Blood Army from the city, and that will do it.”

The clash at the 8th tier happened quickly. Three minutes after the Spirit Monsters evacuated, it stopped. However, the Spirit Monsters did not return but immediately reported directly to Qin Muye through the Magic Network.

After all, the deeds of the Royal Family were such that Qin Muye really couldn’t bear to watch. Greed he could understand, but overfishing was too short-sighted.

After all, only a small team was sent to investigate first. If there’s no problem later, then they’d arrange for more personnel to go down.

They also analyzed the frequencies of the two energy fluctuations, determining that one was somewhat similar to She Xi but not quite, instead mixed with the feeling of the Spirit Monster Hero’s disease. This confirmed that She Xi might have regained power by mastering the disease within himself, even returning to his peak.

But one thing was certain, that there was likely an entrance nearby, though investigation would take time.

For these people, there were definitely only these two methods of handling them. The former could be done by the rootless door, ensuring the blame was shifted onto bandits, with the cooperation of the Suspended Mirror Bureau, it could be solidly settled as an ironclad case.

And the clash was quickly becoming a power struggle, hence the request for someone from the Endless Abyss to come explore what exactly was happening.

And raising pigs was simple too: introduce certain policies, strip them of real power, and being a law-abiding wealthy person was not a problem, even giving them some empty titles to satisfy their vanity was fine. Raising for two to three generations and then reducing them to commoners would be considered peaceful evolution.

Fortunately, Spirit Monsters are in no lack of time. Besides, with professional Spirit Monsters leading the way, the entrance will soon be found.

The hand behind the scenes had laid out the rough plan directly, and although the details were still to be worked out, it was relatively simple to implement with such an outline.

Perhaps silence would be preferred, but if the adversary truly possessed such ability, they would certainly detect the trap.

When the Spirit Monsters withdrew, Qin Muye also received the message and breathed a sigh of relief because this indirectly locked in the position of the Snake-man Clan. Although the area was large, it was irrelevant. How could it be bigger than the world itself?

The pace of the Spirit Monsters’ retreat inherited Qin Muye’s advantages: fast, accurate, and stable, which was extremely effective.

The Spirit Monsters had already set out, and results were expected in a day or two.

But the problem was that these people were truly incompetent; capable members of the Royal Family had long died for various reasons. The Alien Clan would never tolerate such individuals.

Regrettably, these people never considered this and only knew how to levy harsh taxes and annex land, making life unbearable for the populace. Did they really think they could profit this way? In reality, the loss was not limited to the wealth of one region but extended to the wealth of all surrounding regions.

After all, it was suspected that there was an entity as high as the ninth tier, like the Snake Father. Qin Muye would be a more appropriate match, so the Spirit Monsters had to be extra cautious.

In the meantime, they had compiled a lot of reports and data that were submitted together. The application for investigation had been approved, but the group of accompanying scientific researchers had not been authorized to descend for exploration.

Qin Muye knew that the plague carried by the adversary originated from the Abyss, and an eighth-tier had no means of resistance, let alone that the adversary was also severely injured. Even if they could assimilate the plague into their own power, it was impossible to accomplish in such a short time. How long had it been? If the adversary really had such astonishing talent, they wouldn’t have needed so much time to wreak havoc on Great Qian.

If it were unrelated to Great Qian, the Snake Father would have had no need to gather a host of Alien Clans for such actions. By releasing the Snake Father first, they may have reservations about Great Qian, but only reservations. With ninth-tier strength, it would be easy to indirectly destroy Great Qian.

If Qin Muye were in that position, he would focus on the economic, agricultural, industrial development, among others. What little could be scraped from the poor; better to target the wealthy.

Although Qin Muye did not know where the Snake Father was sealed or trapped, it could be confirmed that the adversary had found a way out and was implementing it through She Xi, likely related to Great Qian.

Therefore, Qin Muye speculated that the Snake Father’s inability to leave was somehow connected to Great Qian.

Therefore, only with a Mechanical Deity like the Snake Father coming out to assist, could the power be directly integrated into She Xi’s body.

Therefore, the priority was naturally set on retreat.

They were not afraid of battling eighth-tier entities, and if it came to a direct confrontation, they would gladly charge with swords drawn. But the equipment could not withstand it. If battle broke out, they could die and crawl back from the Endless Abyss, but if the equipment was lost, not only would data be gone, but also a considerable amount of resources for manufacturing equipment.

A Frenzy Blood Spirit Monster shouted, and then led the Spirit Monsters to rapidly transport and retreat with the equipment.

This would likely take a considerable amount of time, such as figuring out how to reach the underground without the use of brute force, and certainly not by employing spatial means—that would be suicide.

These were the original words of the mastermind, and Qin Muye fell silent as well. Well then, it truly was a direct drain of value.

This equipment was all very valuable, after all, it was all used for scientific research—not one was without its resource cost.

Still, this was merely an Abyssal special effect, in other words, a unique attack formed by a strand of Abyss Power combined with various diseases, and it was normal for it to be dispelled by a ninth-tier Snake Father. If the Snake Father couldn’t dispel it, that would be the real problem.

In just an instant, all the Spirit Monsters in the area, along with the equipment, had vanished without a trace. If not for the traces left on the ground, it would hardly be noticeable that something was amiss.

As long as industry was in operation, coupled with the feudal system, and if managed well, wealth would indeed be continuous and unending.

As for how deep the specific connection was, that was something to be investigated further.
