"She Xi really went to extremes. It seems that being in prison is indeed an awful experience," Qin Muye wasn't surprised. Given She Xi's character, he would certainly seize this hard-won opportunity.
He indeed had been released and declared that the Power temporarily lent to him by Qin Muye was a boon from the Serpent Father. It must be said that She Xi really had the audacity to impersonate so blatantly.
Upon his release, he was naturally suppressed by various members of the Snake-man Clan, but because he had enough Power and immediately cut off the Snake-men's ritual practices, this led to a direct and violent seizure of power.
As the new High Priest did not have the 8th tier, She Xi's power was withdrawn by the Serpent Father and not granted again, which allowed She Xi to succeed in his coup.
However, She Xi didn't kill or depose the High Priest. Instead, he allowed him to continue in his role while progressively weakening his spiritual authority.
