"Hiss~ so it's not a noble family, but the local vassal king."
"That explains it, after all, it is their own realm."
Qin Muye quickly sorted out the overall context. He had stayed here for thirteen days before he finally uncovered who had reported him.
Compared to the great families, they don't care about temporary loss of face; they care more about long-term interests—how else could they be called millennia-old families?
On the other hand, the vassal kings are different. They are from the Great Spirit Royal Family, and even though they have been assigned to govern locally, their power cannot match that of the noble families. After all, these families have been established locally for countless years and, coupled with belonging to the Extraordinary World, their martial force is sufficient. So, the vassal kings have always been constrained by the noble families.
However, there are exceptions where some vassal kings can counter the local noble families.
