"Besides wanting to warn Dongyezhou and make it obediently agree to the conditions of the disaster zone, He also wanted to... because the special disaster material He was interested in was in Dongcheng City."

“He probably wanted to take advantage of the chaos last night to take away that special catastrophe material, but he didn’t expect you, Speaker Huang, and Speaker Liu to arrive so quickly that he didn’t have time to succeed.”

Upon hearing Guan Xiao's words, Qiu Tu frowned slightly, then directly asked, "So they suspect that the 'special catastrophe material close to the high-ranking officials' mentioned in the catastrophe zone is in Dongcheng City?"

Guan Xiao nodded and hummed in agreement. Her stunningly beautiful face was filled with seriousness. "Yes. This saying is indeed circulating among the upper echelons of the New Territories City."

"They even suspect that the special catastrophe material is in the hands of the Speakers, which could more reasonably explain why the Speakers did not agree to the conditions of the catastrophe zone."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu's brows furrowed.

A sudden, ominous premonition arose in his heart...

He hesitated for two seconds before saying, "There should be more than that, right?"

"Could they suspect that I have the cataclysmic material?"

Upon hearing this, Guan Xiao's expression faltered slightly. After hesitating for a moment, she admitted, "Yes... some people do have this suspicion."

"The reason they have doubts is... that you've progressed too quickly."

"If there really is a catastrophic material in Dongye Prefecture that even an evil god would covet, and it's located in Dongcheng City, then it's highly likely that it's with you."

Qiu Tu: .....

Qiu Tu felt a headache coming on.

How did these guys manage to arrive at a correct conclusion by taking a bunch of wrong conditions and using some flawed reasoning?

Or perhaps... this was the effect that Mu Ye originally wanted to achieve?

After being rejected by Dongyezhou, He deliberately appeared to attract attention and then guided public opinion to focus everyone's attention on Him.

This kind of pressure applied to oneself layer by layer is indeed like the methods of a great evil god who specializes in scheming!

Thinking this, Qiu Tu seemed to have thought of something and suddenly paused for a moment.

His eyes sparkled, and his mind raced.

After a few minutes of quiet contemplation, Qiu Tu suddenly spoke up, "Xiao Xiao, go check the source of that news in the New Territories. I need to know who's manipulating public opinion!"

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Guan Xiao was taken aback at first, then quickly hummed in agreement.

Seeing that Guan Xiao had agreed, Qiu Tu finally showed a smile that he hadn't seen in the past two days.

If the source of the information is indeed found, and it is verified to be as he thought...

So perhaps... the issues concerning Zehime and Lariel can be resolved...

Thinking this, Qiu Tu leaned against the back seat and looked up out the window.

As the sun rose, it bathed the eastern city in a golden glow. Last night's apocalyptic scene seemed like an illusion, long gone, replaced by a new and vibrant landscape...

.......

Meanwhile, in the real world, as the sun slowly rises...

At this moment, the sun is slowly setting in the "Boundless Heart Sea - East City Area".

As the last rays of the sun were swallowed by the sand dunes, the entire desert once again became cold and deathly silent...

Compared to the "Eastern City Area" during the reign of Lady Zeki, the "Eastern City Area" during the reign of Lariro was clearly more vibrant.

Although it is still a desert, there are many oases, water sources, and various desert plants and animals.

It felt like a new life was being born from destruction...

In the middle of that vast desert, there is a huge oasis.

Zeki and Lariro were standing face to face.

Upon returning from the "Boundless Heart Sea - Core Area", Zhao Ji's demeanor became even more aloof.

She was undeniably a stunning beauty, yet her eyes were as deep and cold as a frozen pool, gleaming with a chilling light. Like an ancient, unyielding iceberg, she silently gazed at Lariluo before her.

Her skin was fair, every inch of it seemingly baptized by ice and snow, pure and flawless. Her long hair cascaded down her shoulders like a waterfall. She exuded a cool and noble aura.

"Do you know that you've refined my territory and ruined my grand plan?"

Her words were incredibly calm, but paired with her eyes that gleamed with a chilling light, they gave off a ruthless air, as if she were about to strike and kill at any moment...

Hearing Zhao Ji's words, La Ri Luo licked her blood-red lips guiltily, then asked, "...Is it too late to apologize now?"

Upon hearing Larilu's words, Zehime's deep eyes silently gazed at her, as if weighing the pros and cons of killing or not killing.

Time ticked by. Finally, Zhao Ji took a deep breath and slowly said, "There's still time."

Larilu breathed a sigh of relief. "Then apologize."

"Once you apologize, the matter will be over."

Chapter 465 Your Highness Zhao Ji, We'll Help You Get Rid of Mu Ye (10,000 words, Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Upon hearing La Riluo's outrageous words, Zhao Ji stood there quietly, speechless for a moment.

She looked at Larilu, just watching her quietly.

Larilu seemed to be deliberately causing trouble for Zehime, her beautiful face filled with indifference.

next second!

A loud "Bang!"

Larilu was suddenly hit as if by a dump truck traveling at 200 kilometers per hour, and she was sent flying backward at lightning speed!

"Ugh!" Larilu collapsed headfirst into the sand dune, clutching her chest and spitting out a mouthful of blood.

After vomiting, her face was noticeably paler.

She clutched her chest, her bloodshot eyes looking up at Zhao Ji not far away, her gaze filled with resentment. "Zhao Ji, is this all you've got?"

"Go ahead and kill me if you dare!"

Upon hearing Lariro's words, Zehime slowly took a step.

Her stride was clearly very short, but with one step, she was right next to Larilu.

Then, the next second, she kicked her leg high into the air! She then performed another standing split!

Larilu couldn't dodge in time and was kicked straight into the air!

Her bloodshot eyes were almost popped out by that kick! Her whole body was hunched over like a scalding red shrimp! Then, with another "whoosh," she vomited blood mixed with fragments of internal organs!

With a cold expression, Zhao Ji raised her hand, and the next second, the air froze into ice, turning into an ice umbrella that was placed above her head!

Blood mixed with fragments of viscera fell, but it didn't stain her clothes even a little bit...

"Thump!" Larilu fell to the ground beside her like a rag doll.

Despite being a peak fourth-tier evil god and a top expert in the Eighth Sanctuary, he was like a child in front of a great evil god like Zhao Ji, completely powerless to fight back.

The power of the Great Evil God is terrifying.

With just two simple moves, Larilu was already lying motionless on the sand dune.

Zhao Ji, holding an umbrella, walked up to her with a cold face, looked down at her, and said, "You weigh 90 pounds, but have 89 pounds of rebellious spirit."

"From childhood to adulthood, I've given in to you countless times and helped you countless times."

"You really think I wouldn't dare kill you?"

Having been struck twice, Larilu's face was as pale as paper, but upon hearing Zhao Ji's words, she still chuckled wickedly and said, "Then kill me!"

"Let's see if our life-or-death pact is even valid!"

Upon hearing Larilu's words, Zehime's expression froze. Her face darkened even further.

As a result, Larilu seemed to be addicted to courting death. While spitting out blood, she continued, "Actually... cough... I not only refined your region, but also ruined your big plans."

"I even wiped out your entire treasure trove. I devoured all your fifth-tier 'Boundless Divine Crystals.' Hahahaha!"

Upon hearing Larilu's words, Zhao Ji's expression changed slightly. Then she took a deep breath, and her pupils began to rotate, turning into rings of a tree.

The next second, Larilu suddenly coughed up another mouthful of blood! Then, as if she had suffered a severe injury, she was thrown into the air!

As she endured the relentless torment from her sister and drifted towards consciousness, Lariel's lips curled into a slight smile, as if she had just thought of something...

Actually... she did all of this on purpose.

She knew how smart her sister was.

If she had followed the expected steps, she would have answered her sister's questions, apologized, or tried to please her sister.

She simply couldn't fool her own sister.

With Zhao Ji's intelligence, she only needed to subtly probe a few times to discover or guess Qiu Tu's role in the whole affair.

Based on Lariro's understanding of Zehime, Zehime wouldn't have projected herself into the Eastern City to search for her unless she was extremely angry.

Therefore... once Zhao Ji discovers Qiu Tu, only death awaits him.

So... she could only deliberately court disaster and provoke Zhao Ji, making Zhao Ji think that she was lawless and had ruined her plans.

In this way, without explanation or lying, Zhao Ji would not be able to discover Qiu Tu.

Furthermore, if he vents his anger on himself, even if Zhao Ji eventually discovers the truth, she will likely not eliminate Qiu Tu once her anger has subsided.

Thinking about it... Larilu suddenly admired her own intelligence.

'I'm so smart...'

'But...it really hurts...'

"Ugh." Lariel coughed up another mouthful of blood as Zhao Ji cruelly broke all four of her limbs and tossed her into the air once more...

......

Qiu Tu arrived about half an hour later.

At this point, Larilu had been tortured to the point of being almost unrecognizable.

Upon seeing La Riluo lying in a pool of blood, Qiu Tu's pupils contracted slightly.

He rushed to Lariro and picked her up in his arms.

At this moment, Lariluo's limbs were all broken, and her once beautiful face was swollen like a pig's head, her oval face almost turning into a bread face.

The long black dress that clung to her body was already tattered, revealing her fair and delicate body covered in bluish-purple marks.

In the past, La Riluo always presented herself as an evil god in front of Qiu Tu. Even in her most destitute moments, she maintained a trace of the dignity of an evil god. She had never looked so miserable before.

So, Qiu Tu almost didn't recognize her at first.

Upon seeing Qiu Tu, La Riluo struggled to open her swollen, closed eyes a crack, her mouth slightly parted as if she wanted to say something, but only one or two syllables escaped her throat, "Wo...hao...teng..."

Qiu Tu couldn't understand what La Riluo was trying to say, so he quickly hugged her and whispered, "It's alright, it's alright. I'm here, I'm here."

As he spoke, Qiu Tu disregarded Zhao Ji's presence and directly activated his "Order Space," enveloping La Ri Luo within it and setting the rule that "injuries would be fully restored."

It must be said that the capabilities of the "Order Space" are indeed incredibly powerful.

Even though Lariro was already a peak fourth-tier evil god, her injuries were still healing rapidly within the "Order Space".

In the blink of an eye, her bones were set back in place, her internal organs returned to their normal positions, her muscle swelling subsided, and her skin regained its fair complexion...

Perhaps Zhao Ji was truly enraged this time, injuring her severely. So, after the pain subsided and her injuries healed, La Ri Luo slowly drifted off to sleep in Qiu Tu's arms...

Although all her injuries had healed, her exquisite oval face was still etched with fatigue.

Moreover, perhaps as a stress response, her body would occasionally tremble slightly.

Qiu Tu's feelings for La Riluo weren't particularly deep, but seeing a woman so badly injured because of him still made his heart tremble slightly...

He looked up at Zhao Ji beside him.

This was the first time he had seen Zhao Ji. Zhao Ji looked somewhat like La Ri Luo.

Both were stunning beauties, and both had skin as white as jade.

Compared to Larilu, Zehime was like a noble empress, exuding an aura of nobility, majesty, and coldness.
