Sima You Yue looked at the people in the prison and said to An Xi: “Those who have colluded with foreign enemies, deal with it accordingly. As for those who want to take advantage of the fire to rob and fall into trouble, shut them in prison so that you can serve it as a warning to others.”

She didn’t know what was the exact punishment for those found to have colluded with forerign enemies. They would definitely have death as an ending but it just depended on whether it was a quick death or a painful one.

The Wei Clan was relieved when they heard what she said. As long as they could live, it was alright. Where there is life, there is hope.

However, they had thought of things too simply. During the time they were detained, the Hua Clan had already eaten up all of the Zheng Clan’s fortune, and also attacked the Wei Clan’s property. When the key members of the Wei Clan were released from prison, there was only an empty shell left in the Wei Clan.

After the Hua Clan absorbed the properties of the Zheng Clan and the Wei Clan, their economic prowess grew. With a lot of money, that meant that there were also more resources and their entire strength had been improved and the clan had been lifted to an entirely new level.

The gap between the two clans grew even bigger. In addition to their bad reputation, they went downhill and could not even be ranked.

Of course, these were all things that happened later, and Sima You Yue never thought that her decision today would affect the outcome of the three families.

After they left the prison, Hua Xu asked: “What did the Young Princess find out? What do we need to do?”

“I don’t need anything for the time being, the Hua Clan can take care of their own affairs. If necessary, I will come to you again.” Sima You Yue refused their offer.

Hua Xu knew that this meant that she had rejected their offer. However, the Hua Clan was really busy now, they still had a lot of aftermath to deal with, so he did not delay any more and left.

“Let’s go to a place where we can talk.” Sima You Yue said to An Xi.

An Xi understood that she must have seen something important in Seventeen’s memory and immediately led them to his study.

“Duke An, their plan was to deal with the Hua Clan first, then swallow the property of the Hua Clan and deal with the Wei Clan after. After that has all been achieved, the ultimate goal was to then let Zheng Wei Ming deal with you.” Sima You Yue said.

“To deal with me? Western Verge Region is not a very important place, so why did they choose this place?” An Xi was puzzled.

“Perhaps it is precisely because this location is not an important one that they intend to pry open a gap and decide to start from here.” Sima You Yue said, “Not only here, but also some other places. I think their purpose should be to break into all these places and connect them into one piece. They should be planning to break through the boundary.”

“Then what other places are in their plans?”

“Seventeen doesn’t know this. They are independent of each other, in order to prevent one place from failing and affecting other places.” Sima You Yue said, “But I think, since this method was used here, other places should also be using similar methods. Go and check the recent turbulence in the neighbouring regions and there should be some clues.”

“I will have someone?investigate immediately.” An Xi said that he was about to get up, and was stopped by Sima You Yue.

“You can deal with that a little later.” Sima You Yue said, “Have you caught all those people over the past two days?”

“All were arrested, but the interrogation was useless, they didn’t say anything.” An Xi said, “I’m afraid that Young Princess still needs to personally come out.”

What she did previously really shocked him. With such a hand, why was there still a need to worry that the interrogation had no results?

“I have some uncertain news when I probed Seventeen’s memories and I need to check with those people.”

“But those people’s status is not as high as the Seventeen, will they know anything?”

“Let’s give it a try.” Sima You Yue was not sure, “Those people didn’t follow them, maybe they know some gossip.”

“Then I will have someone bring them up.”

An Xi went out and ordered people to bring back those people from the Soul Clan, and by the way ordered people to check where similar things had happened.

Soon, those Soul Clansmen who had been tortured for half their lives were brought up. In order not to scare Sima You Yue, An Xi also specially asked them to change their clothes.

Sima You Yue walked over and saw that their mental power was almost tortured, so she didn’t kill them but dived straight with her divine sense. Sweeping through the memories of nine people was very taxing and the mental energy consumed was also large and her complexion gradually turned pale..

No one bothered her as they let her slowly organise her thoughts and also rest well at the same time.

After a while, Sima You Yue opened her eyes and said, “There’s no more need for these people.”

Since there was no need for them, just get someone to kill them.

An Xi waved his hand, and immediately a guard came up and dragged the Soul Clansmen away.

“How is it?” Mo Yu asked.

“There is a fragment of memory in one person’s memory that overlaps with Seventeen’s.” Sima You Yue said, “In Seventeen’s memory, he knew that someone had also arrived in the Ghost Realm. When I swept through the memories of those people just now, there was one place that came up – Immortal Hex Region.”

“Do you think it is Immortal Hex Region?”

“That person was to be sent to Immortal Hex Region at first, but later he was temporarily added here by the higher ups. So I think that there should be people from the Soul Clan in the Immortal Hex Region already.” Sima You Yue speculated.

“I’m quite on decent terms with the Region Ruler of Immortal Hex Region. Just a few days ago, I was told that there wasn’t anything similar like the Hua Clan and the Zheng Clan’s situation happening there.” An Xi said.

“But I think that there should be something abnormal when a city on the side of the Ghost Realm appears in the memory of one of the Soul Clan.”

“Since we’re not sure, let’s go and have a look.” Wu Lingyu suggested.

Sima You Yue thought for a while, and replied: “Alright, let’s go first. Duke An, my cousin will be here soon, you can tell him when he comes then we have gone on ahead to Immortal Hex Region.”

“Alright.” An Xi responded. Seeing Sima You Yue get up, he asked, “Are you leaving now?”

“You have taken control of the situation here. We can go to Immortal Hex Region earlier to determine the situation sooner.” Sima You Yue said.

“If that’s the case, please use my teleportation array. Young Princess, you can reach there directly.”

“Alright, then I will have to trouble you.”

“Young Princess is too polite, please follow me.”

An Xi brought them to the back of the courtyard, where his private teleportation array was. It was linked to the neighbouring regions. Sima You Yue contacted Black Shadow and Huan, and they arrived here after a few breaths.

An Xi was slightly surprised when he saw the strength of the two, they were so powerful!

Five people came to the teleportation array and An Xi activated the array and watched them leave. Not long after they disappeared, a group of people suddenly broke into his manor.

“Where is the Young Princess?” Han Feng asked calmly.

He just felt that she had gone a long way. Although he could determine the location, he might as well ask directly.

An Xi recognized that this was the person next to the Ghost King, and he quickly saluted, saying, “The Young Princess has gone to Immortal Hex Region.”

“The Young Princess went so far suddenly..” Han Shan saw An Xi’s teleportation array and said, “You use this to send us there.”
