The village where the organization had been operating fell under the jurisdiction of the Quan Clan, a mid-sized noble clan responsible for overseeing that entire region.
Naturally, Princess Sun Yaoqing knew about this and she was not pleased.
The Quan Clan might not have been one of the Empire's great houses, but they were responsible to monitor their lands and report irregularities directly to the Royal Court.
Yet, such a massive underground structure had been built and maintained for years without a single report. That was no mere oversight.
Whether it was intentional collusion or gross negligence, Princess Sun Yaoqing did not care—the fact remained that such a threat had grown right under their supervision.
And for that, the Quan Clan could not be allowed to escape responsibility.
Without delay, she politely asked Bai Zihan to alter the Flying Ship's course toward the Quan Clan's territory.
