Then let them offer their loyalty!

Given the chance, they would never sit idly by and watch Qiu Tu become a fourth-order Cataclysm.

Tang Feifei was protected by a large number of experts from the Tang family. Liu Xiongyuan was deeply entrenched in Dongcheng City and had also deployed a large number of troops and experts to guard it.

In comparison, Qiu Tu was far inferior. He had no experts or forces around him capable of protecting him.

And... that's not the point.

The key point is that, according to the deal between Qiu Tu and Tang Feifei, he cannot reveal his strength and identity as the regional lord in the short term.

If he advances right after Tang Feifei, even a fool would suspect something fishy is going on.

After all, Qiu Tu was just an ordinary person seven months ago, and now he's directly advanced to the fourth rank? He must have had some extraordinary encounter!

And what could be more fitting for Qiu Tu's current state than becoming the ruler of a region?

Therefore, Qiu Tu not only needs to be protected by experts, but also needs to advance his level quietly.

This is simply an impossible task.

At this moment, upon hearing Tang Feifei's question, Qiu Tu smiled mysteriously.

He had actually planned everything back when he made the deal with Tang Feifei.

He leaned forward, then looked at Tang Feifei with a deep gaze and said, "Feifei, two protectors are enough."

Tang Feifei automatically put herself in the shoes, "One is me. And the other..."

Her wheat-colored face was filled with doubt. "Liu Xiong Yuan?"

She hesitated before saying, "Although I know you two have a close relationship,... advancing to the fourth rank and becoming the lord of the region is just too important. Can he really be trusted?"

Upon hearing Tang Feifei's words, Qiu Tu shook his head.

He clasped his hands together, summoned a dimensional space, and then took out a piece of "Boundless Divine Crystal" the size of an egg that he had specially kept.

The "Boundless Divine Crystal" resembled a heart-shaped structure. Not only was it broken, but it was also stained with blood, making it look both disgusting and frightening.

When Tang Feifei saw the "Boundless Divine Crystal," her brows furrowed slightly, a hint of confusion in her expression.

Qiu Tu placed the "Boundless Divine Crystal" on the table and said, "This is my second protector: Zhao Ji."

"Zhao Ji!" Tang Feifei's gaze narrowed slightly.

In fact, back when Qiu Tu provided her with the "Boundless Divine Crystal", she had already guessed the source of Qiu Tu's "Boundless Divine Crystal".

It was only because Qiu Tu deliberately broke all those "Boundless Divine Crystals" before giving them to her that she couldn't tell who the huge "Boundless Divine Crystal" actually came from.

Now that Qiu Tu has revealed the final mystery, how could she not understand whose "Boundless Divine Crystal" she had absorbed!

It was Chris, the fourth-tier peak evil god who was killed by Zhao Ji not long ago!

But... when did Qiu Tu get involved with Zhao Ji?

Moreover... why could a "Boundless Divine Crystal" represent Zhao Ji to protect Qiu Tu?

At this point, Qiu Tu finally stopped hiding his plans and revealed his entire scheme to advance to the fourth rank.

His eyes gleamed as he spoke slowly.

"Actually, when I was preparing to advance to the fourth-tier Cataclysm, I was thinking about the question you just raised."

"Who can protect me? Who can guarantee that my advancement won't be discovered by outsiders?"

"As I was thinking... I thought of Zehime."

"After all, if there is an undisputed overlord in Dongye Prefecture, then... it is definitely not Huang Shangzong, but Zhao Ji."

"She controls the nine regions at the peak of the fifth rank! Her power is awe-inspiring to the Sanctuary and all the evil gods!"

"Even though she has now traveled to the core area of ​​the 'Boundless Heart Sea,' no evil god or cataclysmic being dares to invade her territory until her demise is confirmed!"

"This has also led to... the major areas she controls now being practically no-man's land!"

“At this time, if I advance in the area she controls, the resulting anomalies will almost certainly not be seen by others.”

"Even if an evil god or a cataclysmic being happens to come and try to investigate Zhao Ji's situation, and ends up seeing the phenomenon of my advancement, that's fine too."

"With you, and the 'Boundless Divine Crystal' imbued with Zhao Ji's aura, as long as even a trace of Zhao Ji's aura is activated, those unpredictable evil gods or cataclysmic beings will not dare to act rashly."

"Because I became a pseudo-Tier 4 Cataclysm thanks to the 'Regional Lord,' the New Territories region has been constantly feeding back into the 'Regional Lord's' pseudo-status. I've suppressed it, suppressed it, and suppressed it again."

"Therefore, I am now almost at the peak of the third tier. I should be about the same as Liu Xiong Yuan, and it will only take me two or three days to complete the advancement."

"By then, even if the abnormal evil god or the cataclysmic being discovers it and realizes something is wrong, it will already be too late, and everything will have already been done!"

"By then, I had already become a fourth-tier Cataclysm, and I returned to the New Territories with you!"

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's unconventional yet feasible advancement plan, even Tang Feifei, who was usually not easily swayed by emotions, could not hide her surprise.

She looked at Qiu Tu, her mouth slowly opening wide...

After all, normally speaking, all Cataclysmics who advance to the fourth tier seek out the forces behind them, their friends, and trustworthy individuals to protect themselves.

Moreover, they will definitely put themselves in a place of absolute safety.

Even when someone like Yan Chen was forced into a corner and compelled to advance, they had already arranged for layers of heavily armed guards and summoned friends to protect them.

This is also why Tang Feifei was worried when she learned that Qiu Tu was preparing to secretly advance to the fourth rank.

But... Qiu Tu actually did the opposite?

He didn't ask friends for help, nor did he seek out powerful backers. He didn't even go to a safe place. Instead, he went to the most dangerous place!

Fifth-Order Great Evil God: Zhao Ji's Territory!

Even though Tang Feifei was always confident in her abilities, she would occasionally be arrogant and want to spar with Zhao Ji.

But... that's just a thought.

Without thorough preparation, she would not dare to step into Zhao Ji's territory.

After all, no one knows what kind of traps or magic arrays Zhao Ji set up in her territory before she left.

No one knows how many tricks Zhao Ji has up her sleeve in her territory!

Moreover... you should know that evil gods are actually just advanced cataclysmic beings.

They are quite sensitive to any unusual activity in their territory.

Even if one bypasses all of Zhao Ji's traps, magic arrays, and methods, leaving behind an aura that Zhao Ji discovers upon her return will still cause considerable trouble.

It is for these reasons that other evil gods and cataclysmic beings are unwilling to enter Zephyr's territory.

As a result... Qiu Tu is now actually preparing to enter Zhao Ji's territory?

To be honest, for a moment, Tang Feifei was unsure whether Qiu Tu was being cautious or reckless...

Just then, Tang Feifei's gaze inadvertently fell upon the "Boundless Divine Crystal" from Chris's heart, which was placed on Qiu Tu's table...

Immediately afterwards, Tang Feifei recalled the pile of "Boundless Divine Crystals" that Qiu Tu had given her.

She made a quick mental assessment.

If I'm not mistaken... all these "Boundless Divine Crystals" combined are about half the size of a human body.

This is the "Boundless Divine Crystal" of a freshly fallen peak fourth-tier evil god!

It is truly priceless!

As a result, Qiu Tu managed to get it?

Although Tang Feifei didn't know the exact nature of Qiu Tu and Zhao Ji's relationship, she knew it was definitely very unusual.

Recalling Qiu Tu's past masterful planning, Tang Feifei sighed softly to herself...

'Fine. Let's just listen to him...'

'At worst, if something really happens, I'll risk my life to take him away, and then find Grandpa to save him.'

At this moment, Qiu Tu was unaware of Tang Feifei's inner thoughts.

If he knew, he would definitely explain further: he actually didn't know about the traps or methods that Consort Zhao had set up.

But... don't forget, he still has two trump cards up his sleeve...

He didn't know, but his own sister Larilu didn't know?

Even if her own sister Lariro didn't know... how could "crisis sense" not detect it?

Lariluo and his "crisis sense" were the key factors that allowed him to venture deep into the territory of a fifth-tier Great Evil God to advance!

Thinking this through, Qiu Tu and Tang Feifei reviewed their plans and strategies again. They decided to stay up one more night, suppressing their peak third-tier power to the limit, and then advance together tomorrow night!

After discussing the plans, Qiu Tu, unusually, did not stay overnight at Tang Feifei's house.

He drove directly back to the villa he shared with Shen Lingshuang under the cover of night.

Before advancing, he needs to learn about and arrange some things.

We returned to the villa and parked the car.

Qiu Tu strode towards the villa.

As a result, just as he arrived at the villa's entrance...

He wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but suddenly, his intuition told him that someone was spying on him.

He reflexively turned around to look, but there was nothing there...

Behind him was the beautifully maintained Longshan Road and its surrounding trees.

Because it was already winter, the weather was getting colder and colder, and the cold lights shining on the road seemed to add a touch of bleakness to the night.

Qiu Tu glanced behind him a few times, and after confirming that he found nothing amiss, he shook his head, then came to his senses and stepped into the villa...

As soon as Qiu Tu entered the villa, he felt a white shadow flash by!

With the addition of "fake grid", Qiu Tu is now a peak Tier 3 Cataclysm.

So, with a casual scoop, he caught Little White, who was about to ambush him!

Pinch Xiaobai's soft belly and Qiu Tu said with a smile, "Xiaobai, you're a little slow."

"At your speed, you might never be able to bite me in this lifetime."

Hearing Qiu Tu's "taunts," Xiao Bai glared at Qiu Tu and barked "woof woof woof."

Although he couldn't understand what she was saying, Qiu Tu could tell from her expression that she must have said something really nasty.

However, Qiu Tu didn't mind. He smiled and said, "Xiao Bai, you must be quite bored after Ling Shuang starts working."

"How about I bring a friend to meet you another day?"

Before Xiaobai could answer, Shen Lingshuang, who was in the restaurant, spoke first.

The girl had worked for more than ten days and had clearly matured a lot. She was wearing black-rimmed glasses, holding a pen, and carefully reading the intelligence.

Hearing their "conversation," she curiously looked up, adjusted her glasses, and asked, "What friends? Are they Xiaobai's friends?"

Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu smiled, put Xiao Bai down, and said, "Yes."

"Actually... I also had a pet a while ago. It was very cute, very beautiful, and very obedient."

"But she is usually very bored and lonely because she can't show her face in public."

Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Shen Ling Shuang looked at him strangely, "You'd better be talking about a real pet?"

"It's not some kind of beautiful dog or something, is it?"

Qiu Tu:......

Qiu Tu rubbed his temples, casually pulled a document from Shen Lingshuang's hand, and glanced at it.

Sure enough... this list is full of bizarre things done by the Five Elders and some small and medium-sized forces in Longshan Dao.

Phrases like "beauty spittoon" and "beauty dog" are child's play; there are plenty of other things that use prohibited words.

Qiu Tu frowned slightly, then tossed the intelligence back to Shen Lingshuang and said, "Don't look at these things too much. Let Guan Xiao lead people to sort them out himself."

"Also... have Guan Xiao bring a group of people from Longshan Road over the next two days and go out to kill them."
