Qin Xiao continued reading, but the information was only half complete. What was the other half?
Qin Xiao opened the documents, and the more he read, the uglier his expression became.
No, or rather, it's not that it's ugly, but rather that a preconceived notion has become a reality, which is somewhat frustrating.
The glaring annotations and illustrations on the documents were discovered by the Elven traders.
These three dukes all have deep connections with certain external forces.
And they have already begun to transfer their own world's resources and wealth to the outside world.
By using privileges and carrying resources, one can buy low and sell high, even though this requires paying money upon return and results in a significant reduction in wealth.
But at least they managed to transfer their own resources elsewhere.
"Have you not discovered any specific information about the forces behind these entities?"
Elisa shook her head. "My lord, we have not made much progress in the outside world and our strength is insufficient. These are all clues observed by those who went to trade with us."
This statement effectively excluded the elves, practically declaring them to be law-abiding citizens.
Qin Xiao glanced at the top of Elsa's head, remaining noncommittal. "If you guys were law-abiding citizens, I'd use all the stuff in your dorm room."
He didn't dwell on the question; he simply started thinking about it.
It seems that simply eliminating these three families won't work; they were saying before that the meat was rotting in the pot.
Now that the mice are already stealing things from outside, it's unlikely that we'll be able to get those things back after killing them.
We need to find out who is cooperating with them on the outside and where all those resources have gone.
After all, it had been at least several decades of plundering. Qin Xiao felt that if he could get such a large sum of money for free, it would probably be enough to cover the amount of spirit crystals needed for the Jianmu tree.
Jianmu hasn't had a proper meal yet, and as its master, he can't get over it.
After putting away the documents, Qin Xiao stood up. "Where is the teleportation portal to your city? Call your granddaughter over."
Alissa was taken aback. My granddaughter? Vanessa?
Her heart surged instantly, but she dared not hesitate. "Yes, sir, I will summon her immediately."
Alissa stood up and walked outside.
She glanced at Qin Xiao and the two women beside him one last time, almost imperceptibly.
"This guy, could he be into that kind of thing? My granddaughter and I don't look alike, maybe... I should call my daughter over? The three of us could be together..."
Qin Xiao, unaware of the other party's filthy thoughts, discussed the matter in hushed tones with Ye Qingya.
"Brother Xiao, what are you planning to do?"
Ye Qingya said with a solemn expression.
Qin Xiao considered for a while, "In the Ruins of Return, most of the fragmented worlds have a home, and everyone has a background."
Ultimately, it all comes down to strength, and I'm too lazy to play mind games with them. I'll just cut to the chase.
Ye Qingya was taken aback. "You mean, just kill them all?"
Ye Qinghuan was somewhat puzzled, "But even if we kill them, how can we get back the wealth they stole?"
Qin Xiao nodded, "I guess that wealth is already in other people's pockets. They can't just say whether we want it back."
Two days later, at the meeting, they detained the people, extracted information, and then exterminated all the members of the three dukes of this realm. Afterwards, they simply went to their doorstep to settle things.
Um... this method is really simple and crude.
Ye Qingya and Ye Qinghuan were at a loss for words.
However, they weren't too worried. If a demigod didn't appear, who else could be Qin Xiao's opponent?
Unless facing one of the three great divine dynasties, where there are many powerful beings at the transcendent level, it would be possible to overwhelm Qin Xiao by sheer numbers and quality.
This was even after Qin Xiao lost his mind and didn't run away.
Otherwise, logically speaking, Qin Xiao, a character with such a bug-like ability, would be almost invincible in the conventional sense of the Ruins of Return.
As long as you stand on the right ground and rightfully attack their door, no one can say anything, and other major powers can't interfere.
Qin Xiao quickly made up his mind and stopped worrying about it.
To put it bluntly, these are all secondary to him; as his power increases, dealing with things will only become easier.
Although resorting to violence at the drop of a hat is criticized as being reckless, anyone who truly experiences this feeling will come to love it.
"However, Brother Xiao, the humans in this world need to be restrained; they've become too unrestrained."
Ye Qingya will be managing things afterward, so naturally these things will be taken into consideration.
Qin Xiao nodded, "If it weren't for the desire to avoid committing more killings, it wouldn't matter if we killed them all, since they're not from our race anyway."
To all the worlds, they are all human beings, but if we break it down further, there are actually many other classifications.
That's just how intelligent beings are; they group together by their kind, and people are grouped by their kind—it's all the same.
This group is not about quantity, but about population, about characteristics.
Take Qin Xiao and his two companions, for example. They were first humans, then humans with the talent of beast tamers, then humans from Blue Star, and then humans from Huawu Kingdom.
The humans here can only be of the same species, not the same race.
Although Qin Xiao usually doesn't value these things much, or even looks down on them, now...
Since these people are so unrefined in their dealings, let's at least help them maintain a decent appearance.
"The entire world was sealed off afterward, and the consumption of Le Ling flowers and sea creature meat was completely stopped. We started developing new products, or at worst, we put everything into mining and salvaging fragments of the world."
Qin Xiao said this, and Ye Qingya nodded.
In this completely sealed-off fragmented world, these people have no chance at all.
With the general arrangements settled, Elsa quickly brought the person over.
Following behind Elsa, an elven girl walked in.
As if bathed in a fresh and natural halo, the room is filled with a natural and intimate atmosphere as soon as you walk in.
Elsa valued her granddaughter highly; otherwise, she wouldn't have let her take over Virgin City and govern half of the Elven territory.
The girl's appearance is hard to describe; she has a fresh and natural look.
She was only wearing a three-piece-like gauze dress, adorned with leaves and gemstones, but it didn't give off a lewd vibe at all.
Instead, it evokes a sense of natural beauty that returns to simplicity.
A woman blessed by heaven and earth...
This is Qin Xiao's perception; perhaps the sea's vastness and mysterious allure are what make the night so captivating.
Vanessa is like a forest—lush, vibrant, and refreshing.
"Qianyun?"
"Coming, coming, Master!" Qianyun sat on the roof of her wooden house in the demon realm, swinging her fair legs.
"Name: Vanessa Devra Aistar, Talent Rank: Orange, Rank: Diamond Rank: One Star, Skills: Breath of Nature, Wood Spirit Walker, Fresh Aura."
