Even this slight disadvantage could be a facade: after all, don't forget that while he appeared to be at a disadvantage, he was not only secretly cultivating his own armed force, but also secretly cooperating with Liu Xiong Yuan to investigate Yan Chen...
Compared to Ye Mingfeng's assertiveness and Yan Chen's ruthlessness, this old fox's greatest strength lies in his forbearance. (Chapter 166)
So, he had tolerated Ye Mingfeng and Yan Chen for so long, but when faced with a small purge, he couldn't help but start doing such things?
Qiu Tu felt this was unreasonable....
However, he has no interest in getting involved in the power struggles in the New Territories right now, so he's too lazy to think about it further...
What's the point of fighting over the power of a single city? His sights have long been set on Dongye Prefecture, on its 16 cities! On hunting down the evil god!
With that in mind, Qiu Tu stopped thinking about it, lay down on the bed, and began to conserve his energy, preparing to take action early the next morning...
......
late at night....
Not long after Qiu Tu fell asleep.
Someone quietly entered Jiang Zhenpeng's private villa.
He quietly entered the living room and saw Jiang Zhenpeng reading the "Shelter Daily." He quickly approached him and whispered, "Committee member. Miss Yaoyao did indeed go to see Deputy Director Bai Ru."
"We also intercepted the entire conversation she was giving us."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Zhenpeng chuckled lightly, without even lifting his eyes from the newspaper.
Then he nodded and said, "Okay. I understand. Those actors can stop now..."
After saying that, he shook his head and sighed softly, "This little girl, she really won't budge unless you push her. I've advised her, hinted at it, and helped her so many times, but she's still just playing around with those lovey-dovey stuff." (Chapters 366, 395, 409, 407)
"Now, we've finally made it through completely..."
.......
Silent all night.
The next morning, Qiu Tu got out of bed.
It is morning in the real world, but in the "Boundless Sea of the Mind," the sun has just set.
The night was dark and the wind was high; it was the perfect time to kill.
Thinking this, Qiu Tu even exuded a hint of murderous intent.
He got out of bed, washed up, and then called Chen Feng, asking him to bring him a Cataclysmic Treasure.
Then the world flipped up and arrived at the "Boundless Heart Sea - New Territories Region".
When they arrived at the "Boundless Heart Sea - New Territories Area", Larilu was already waiting there.
She was wearing a black gauze short dress, sitting on a tree branch, her crystal-clear, jade-like feet swinging gently, looking exceptionally alluring.
Upon seeing Qiu Tu, La Riluo raised the corners of her eyes slightly, a hint of mockery in her smile. Then, she parted her blood-red lips and teased, "Oh~~ Here comes the one who's coming to his death."
Hearing Lariluo's words, Qiu Tu smiled and said, "Your Highness, since you trust me so much, how about... we make a bet?"

Chapter 428 Qiu Tu Slays the Whale Shark! (10,000 words, please vote!)
Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, La Riluo lowered her eyelids, tilted her head, and unconsciously played with the lace on her skirt, exuding a nonchalant elegance.
After a moment, she grinned, then said with a half-smile, "Qiu Tu... do you know him?"
"I've thought a lot about this since I suffered losses at your hands a few times before."
"You are... more wicked than even our gods."
"The best way to avoid being taken advantage of by you is to not accept any of your bets or proposals."
"I don't care what you do, I won't participate. I'll just quietly be an observer."
Qiu Tu smiled upon hearing La Riluo's words.
His words nearly set Lariel off her train: "How can you be so sure that my goal is for you to just stand by and watch?"
Lari Luo: ? ? ?
Upon hearing this, La Riluo's brain immediately began to fall into a logical loop.
Yeah... How can she be sure that Qiu Tu wasn't deliberately telling her these things so she could stand by and watch?
Should I get involved?
Wait a minute... how do I know that Qiu Tu isn't lying to me?
For a moment, because of the layers of logic, La Riluo couldn't tell which layer Qiu Tu was on. Was it the first layer? The second layer? The third layer? Or the fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth... layer?
This is an infinite loop that is impossible to predict.
Then, Qiu Tu spoke again.
He looked at Larilu with a slight smile and said, "Guess... is your current complete logical breakdown the real reason I proposed this 'bet'?"
Larilu:........
When a new logic emerges, Larilu finds her own logical chain even more chaotic.
She discovered that not following Qiu Tu's pace seemed to have no effect whatsoever.
But luckily... she discovered a way to solve the problem once and for all and avoid being tricked by Qiu Tu again: simply deafen herself! If she didn't listen to Qiu Tu, she wouldn't be fooled, right?
'Terrible...so terrifying. Like the whispers of the devil...'
Thinking this, Larilu covered her ears, adopting an attitude of not wanting to hear anything.
Seeing La Riluo like this, Qiu Tu smiled and said: "Little brat... I can't handle you."
Just as the two were playfully fighting, a dark figure appeared in front of Qiu Tu in a flash.
He knelt on one knee, and then said in an aged voice, "My lord, last night, the whale summoned four hundred and thirty amberjacks."
"Then have them quietly split into dozens of small teams and secretly draw maps of the 'New Territories area.'"
"He himself was secretly setting up a cataclysmic formation by that lake."
"The specific effects are unclear, but they are likely related to defense and early warning."
After listening to the "old man's" report, Qiu Tu nodded slightly and said, "Have the dark soldiers prepare to execute the plan I set out."
"Then...wait for my signal, and then take action to wipe out those boatmen."
"Yes." The old man responded, and the next second, he stood up and disappeared using his teleportation ability.
Watching the "old man" disappear, Qiu Tu couldn't help but look up at La Riluo.
Larilu seemed lost in thought, her cold, scarlet eyes filled with contemplation.
Seeing this, Qiu Tu asked curiously, "What? What did you think of?"
Upon hearing this, La Riluo slowly came back to her senses.
Then she looked at Qiu Tu and said, "Your subordinate mentioned that the Whale Shark was setting up an array, and that reminded me... the Whale Shark does indeed have a very famous array."
"It's called the 'Surging Waves Formation'."
"This magic array has only one function: it directly maximizes the defensive power."
"It can withstand attacks from even a peak fourth-tier Cataclysm without any problem."
"Moreover, and more importantly, this magic array doesn't consume much energy. Because it eliminates attacks layer by layer, like waves in the ocean, the energy requirements for the magic array are not high."
At this point, Lariro said with a strange expression, "So... the whale shark has always been known for being timid and cautious in the circles of several gods in our vicinity."
After explaining the magic circle, Larilu couldn't help but look at Qiu Tu, and then said with a hint of sympathy, "So... your plan must have failed a bit."
"After all... before you even get there, they've already set up their shields."
"How do you break through such a strong shield?"
Upon hearing La Riluo's analysis, Qiu Tu was slightly surprised at first, and then he almost laughed.
Instead of explaining, he repeated the initial question, "Your Highness, shall we take a gamble?"
"Hehe..." This time, La Riluo was smarter. After hesitating for a moment, she was probably worried that she would be bewitched by Qiu Tu, so she covered her ears and refused to listen.
Although she was 99.99% certain that Qiu Tu couldn't possibly break the magic array, well... wasn't Qiu Tu's greatest strength the ability to create miracles?
Why would you gamble on something like this for no reason? It's so embarrassing to lose.
Seeing this, Qiu Tu didn't mind. He said, "Alright, since you're not going to gamble, let's go see what's going on with the whale shark."
After saying that, Qiu Tu first activated "Infinite Vision" and, after confirming the location of the whale shark, flew over there with La Riluo.
Night fell, spreading slowly across the vast New Territories like a giant black velvet cloth. The cool, bright moonlight pierced through the sparse clouds, casting dappled patterns across the primeval forest.
Under the moonlight, the shadows of the trees were stretched long and twisted, casting long, eerie and menacing patterns on the ground. A gentle breeze swept through, and the entire primeval forest seemed to emit a low, mournful murmur, as if singing a lament for the great battle tonight…
In this atmosphere, Qiu Tu and La Riluo flew to a point one kilometer away from the whale shark.
When they arrived there, Larilu stopped first.
Qiu Tu turned his head to look at her strangely.
Larilu looked at Qiu Tu with her scarlet eyes and grinned, "I'm not going any further. Otherwise, I'll just get splattered with blood again."
Qiu Tu was both amused and exasperated upon hearing this.
Larilu added, "But don't worry, I always keep my word. If you die, I'll risk my life to collect your body!"
As they were talking, a rumbling sound came from not far away.
The two glanced in the direction the sound came from. The sound originated from the "Cataclysm Array".
The whale had already set up the magic circle and activated it before the two arrived.
Upon seeing this, La Riluo's eyes were filled with sympathy as she looked at Qiu Tu.
Larilu said, "Actually... that magic circle isn't that difficult to deal with. We just need to slowly deplete its energy."
"But... this is clearly going to be a long and arduous process, you'd better call a few more helpers."
Upon hearing La Riluo's words, Qiu Tu quietly looked at the magic array set up by the whale shark not far away.
The magic circle was entirely azure blue, and it was a hemispherical circle that held the whale upside down inside.
The magic circle was almost transparent, with iridescent light flashing across it from time to time. It looked quite appealing.
Seeing this, Qiu Tu looked at La Riluo again and asked, "Your Highness, shall we continue betting?"
Larilu hesitated more this time. But in the end, reason prevailed.
So she covered her ears and shook her head hesitantly.
Qiu Tu didn't try to dissuade him, but instead made an "ok" sign and continued flying over.
For a fourth-order evil god, a distance of one kilometer is not far; it is clearly visible to the naked eye.
So Larilu flew to the treetop, sat down, and patiently waited for the two sides to start their battle.
Although both sides are enemies, Lariluo is closer to Qiu Tu. Therefore, emotionally, she naturally hopes that Qiu Tu will win.
But rationally speaking, she felt that Qiu Tu's chances of winning were too slim.
The whale shark was not only a mid-stage fourth-tier evil god, but it had also set up a magic array in advance, and even... opened up a "regional passage" so it could call for reinforcements at any time.
With such strength, how could the whale shark possibly lose?
Thinking this way, Lariluo became even more pessimistic about Qiu Tu's upcoming battle...
Meanwhile, as Lariro was doing her analysis...
After flying a hundred or two hundred meters, Qiu Tufei instantly teleported to the outer edge of the whale shark's magic array.
He tapped the magic circle lightly. What should have been just an illusion actually produced a resounding clang, like metal clashing.
'This is good stuff....'
This level of defense is truly outstanding.
At that moment, perhaps sensing that the "Cataclysmic Defense Array" had been touched, the whale slowly looked over.
Upon seeing that it was Qiu Tu causing all the trouble, the whale grinned, "I originally thought that after setting things up here for two or three days, I would attract Tang Feifei, that 'Regional Lord,' here."
