Prince Ning's concerns were not unfounded.
Because the Eagle King is staging a fictional drama, it will inevitably cause the seven great families to split and fight among themselves, leading to intervention from above and distorting the situation.
While the officials above cannot directly intervene, no one dares to defy their will. Coupled with financial resources, this could very well facilitate the rebirth and reorganization of the seven great families.
Restructuring is not scary.
What's frightening is that the officials above know the truth about Zheng Ya and the Ning Prince's faction's charade. They can't violate official regulations by openly reminding the seven great families or even devising countermeasures and actions, but they can't help but secretly instruct them.
Of course, such an opportunity is not very high.
Because of problems with the top officials of the Tower of Babel, both sides involved in the problem have been placed under surveillance by the neutral faction, which has prevented them from taking any rash actions and has caused them to lose the initiative. All they can do is create trouble below, cause a big disturbance to lure the enemy away from the mountain, and disperse the power of the neutral faction, so that they will have the opportunity to make some underhanded moves.
The Prince of Ning told Zheng Ya that Guan's daughter was pregnant and that her misfortune would turn into good fortune, which was an implication.
The higher-ups have started taking action; you're in trouble.
When disaster strikes, marrying Guan Nu and getting her pregnant is like building a bridge directly to the Heavenly Court. The Heavenly Court cannot directly intervene in the struggles below, but ensuring the safety of Zheng Ya's family is not a problem.
Zheng Ya was unharmed, and the aristocratic families who were on good terms with him were also at peace.
The rest is just a matter of open and covert struggles, trying to bring down the other side within reasonable limits, until the final victory is achieved.
To put it bluntly, it's a check and balance of power at the highest levels.
This really put Prince Ning's faction in a bind. They felt insecure because their eldest daughter wasn't pregnant!
Zheng Ya was speechless: "Father-in-law, getting pregnant is easy. You know I have the ability to get people pregnant."
Once applied to real firearms, it will guarantee a 100% hit rate.
"But can we talk about the cost of the formula?"
"One trillion, a fixed price!"
"Okay, four companies, four trillion yuan, deal?"
Why don't you just die?
"What, multiplied by '子'? Does that mean I have to have more children?"
"Just kill me."
"Ah, if you send one, I'll send one too! Okay, okay!"
"..."
Prince Ning was driven nearly mad by him, and finally managed to utter one sentence: "Pregnancy confirmed, ten thousand has been deposited into your account, otherwise, prepare for the guillotine to come knocking!"
"Oh dear, my old back can't take it anymore!" Xin Yi boasted. Prince Ning was so angry he wanted to kill her. This father-in-law was such a coward.
"Shasha!" Xu Qi rushed into the room: "Master, something's happened! There's infighting across all the fortified fronts of the Eagle King's faction..."
"Let's go take a look?" Zheng Ya put his arm around her slender waist and darted away, arriving above the Eagle King Fortress to catch the main event.
The Eagle King looked down at the entire scene with a cold smile: "You have now been captured by me. Sign an allegiance agreement immediately, and I will spare your lives."
Otherwise, kill them all.
"Eagle King, this is rebellion, causing internal strife. You will not have a good end..." The Wu family member was being rubbed on the ground by the puppet, and he angrily rebuked him.
Before the Eagle King could speak, the puppets holding down the Wu clan members raised their swords and began to slash: "Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!"
With each slash, the head was severed from the body.
The blood splattered three feet away, intimidating the other six aristocratic families. Everyone was trembling with fear and dared not make a move.
Eagle King wanted to reprimand the puppet for acting on its own initiative, but the occasion was inappropriate, so he held back and glared at the other noble families: "You have one minute to make your choice."
"Outdated laws will result in certain death?"
"Eagle King, can you tell us why?" the skinny monk asked, his voice filled with frustration. Even if he were to die, he wanted to die knowing the truth.
After all, rebelling against a powerful family is tantamount to playing with fire and getting burned.
Regarding the conflict between families, the official restriction is only one: it will not interfere with the defense of the teleportation portal.
This means that once the Eagle King returns to his family, he will be confined to this part of the starry sky and unable to leave.
The aristocratic families would send people to secretly keep an eye on Eagle King. Once they discovered that Eagle King was out, they would kill him to eliminate the traitor and uphold the dignity of the aristocratic families.
Basically, there is no chance of survival.
Therefore, no one dared to rebel against the aristocratic family and risk their lives.
The Eagle King sneered disdainfully: "With tens of thousands of puppets under my command, who can rival me?"
"What? Eagle King, you actually embezzled public funds for personal matters and plotted a rebellion? How dare you?" The skinny monk understood everything. This madman would kill everyone!
The other scions of prominent families had long since become numb.
The fact that the Eagle King failed in his duty to supervise the exercise of the rights and interests of the aristocratic alliance is itself a capital offense.
This was a desperate situation, a last resort with no other choice.
The skinny monk was still unwilling to give up: "Eagle King, so you're saying you've already taken control of all the fortresses?"
Each fortified front was garrisoned by direct descendants of various powerful families.
Those present were merely the leaders of the seven great families.
The Eagle King was a little angry: "Are you all out of touch with reality?"
I've already gone this far, why would I need to ask such nonsense? Do you think you're going to try to stall for time and wait for someone to come to your rescue?
"Who will it be? Tell me, ha ha ha!"
"Eagle King, don't you think you're laughing too soon?" The skinny monk sneered, which made the Eagle King wary: "Could it be that you really have a backup plan?"
Come, call out and let me see what you're capable of.
"You think you can turn the tables and win under my control? Shout it out!"
"Eagle King, all I can say is that you are pathetic. You died without even knowing how you died. Surrender if you know what's good for you!" The skinny monk shook his arm, and the two puppets who were holding him down released their grip and stepped aside, guarding the skinny monk with expressionless faces.
This shocked the Eagle King, who roared, "You bastards, are you trying to rebel?"
"Eagle King, commit suicide to atone for your sins!" The skinny monk walked up to the young men from various noble families and beckoned to each of them to take away their signed contracts of servitude.
The scions of prominent families were dumbfounded. What was going on?
Even Zheng Ya and Xu Qi, who were hiding in the void watching the show, were stunned. What was going on?
The Eagle King roared repeatedly, realizing he had failed to command the puppets and was doomed: "Why is this happening?"
No, I am the one who inherits the will of the higher powers…
"Idiot, since you don't care about dignity, then let the scions of noble families dismember you!" The skinny monk waved the indenture in his hand and gave the order.
The puppets released the young noblemen they had been pressing down on and retreated to the side to be on guard.
None of the scions of noble families are fools; this is clearly a pledge of allegiance.
It's still a pledge of allegiance made through video recording.
If I don't kill the Eagle King, it'll be my turn!
The scions of noble families exchanged glances, then scattered and charged at the Eagle King, shouting, "Kill him! Chop this traitor up! Kill him!"
"Ah, you bastard, I am the official... Ah..." The Eagle King struggled desperately, shouting to clarify the facts, but was overwhelmed by spiritual magic and torn to pieces.
The Eagle King has fallen.
That's how it was said. The skinny monk took over the seven major families' fortified fronts without shedding a drop of blood, and not a single word got out.
Xu Qi was getting agitated and transmitted her voice, "Honey, something feels off about this situation. Something seems wrong?"
"Yes, I also think this skinny monk doesn't seem to be the real mastermind. He's just doing someone else's job, acting as the agent for the defense of the seven great families. This is troublesome." Zheng Ya realized that the mastermind was setting up a grand scheme. Who was this person?
