Then let them offer their loyalty!

"Actually... when we were in the 'Eastern District,' there were some things I couldn't say in front of Xiaola."

"After all, it's a bit like betraying her."

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Zhao Ji couldn't help but look up. Although she didn't speak, her actions and expression were crystal clear.

Seeing this, Qiu Tu coughed and said, feigning embarrassment, "Actually, the reason we interrupted your promotion was..."

"Besides the fact that it's truly for your own good, hoping that after you advance to level 6, you can advance to level 7 even faster."

"Also because... if you don't get the 'Yamane' (the bridge of the mountain), then it will inevitably fall into the hands of Twilight."

"At that time, he will become the only Tier 6 Evil God in the 'Boundless Heart Sea - Edge Region'."

"At that time...who knows what he might do?"

Qiu Tu was indeed spreading panic, but... it was also the truth.

While all the Tier 6 evil gods were imprisoned in the "Boundless Heart Sea - Core Area", a newly born Tier 6 evil god could roam freely in the outer area.

Then he will become the true god of the outer regions, because no one will be his match.

More importantly... this also includes Zehime, who failed to advance and returned from the "Boundless Heart Sea - Core Area".

More importantly... Qiu Tu's words actually hinted at a terrifying future.

As a peak fifth-tier evil god, Zhao Ji is one of the strongest beings in the entire outer region.

Two tigers cannot share one mountain. Before nightfall, in order to avoid Zhao Ji, he had even been secretly hiding his identity.

Once Mu Ye successfully advances to level 6, will he allow Zhao Ji to cultivate in his territory?

Will Zehime be a match for a level 6 evil god?

Sure enough, with Qiu Tu's hint, Zhao Ji's expression finally changed slightly.

Clearly, she had thought of that as well.

From the moment she returned to Dongyezhou and revealed her identity, there was likely only one winner between her and Muye.

Regardless of who advances, the other person only faces two paths: death or expulsion...

Thinking this, Zhao Ji's cold gaze darkened slightly.

To be honest, she had a feeling that something was off.

She felt as if Qiu Tu had tricked her. It seemed as if Qiu Tu had been pushing her to be an enemy of Mu Ye all along.

She didn't originally want to be enemies with Mu Ye. But after listening to Qiu Tu's words a few times, she suddenly felt that if she didn't kill Mu Ye, she would be acting ungratefully?

Fortunately... she never took Mu Ye seriously.

Thinking this, she slowly said, "In that case, let's go see Mu Ye."

Hearing Zhao Ji's words, Qiu Tu was taken aback. "Us? Now?"

Zhao Ji glanced at Qiu Tu indifferently and asked, "What? Is there a problem?"

Qiu Tu chuckled twice, "Isn't it a bit inappropriate for two peak fifth-tier evil gods to meet with me along?"

"Besides... once you start fighting, I won't be able to run away with my small arms and legs."

Zhao Ji chuckled coldly, "You're afraid I'll fight him and hurt you?"

"Do you really think that we are equal in strength just because we are both at the peak of the fifth rank?"

A question mark slowly appeared above Qiu Tu's head: ?

"Or else?"

Zhao Ji's cold eyes were full of arrogance, "Even though we are both at the peak of the fifth rank, there is still a huge gap between us."

"He is a peak fifth-tier evil god because his strength is only at the peak of the fifth tier!"

"Although I am also at the peak of the fifth rank, because... the highest rank that the 'Boundless Sea of ​​the Heart - Edge Region' can accommodate is only the peak of the fifth rank!"

"Kill him, one move is enough!"

Qiu Tu: .....

To be honest, Qiu Tu has seen many experts and show-offs during this period, but no one has ever shown off to him as much as Zhao Ji, making his scalp tingle.

Qiu Tu even had a slight suspicion that Zhao Ji might try to show off but end up getting taken advantage of instead... and then drag him down with her.

Unfortunately, Zhao Ji clearly didn't care much about Qiu Tu's opinion.

So, after explaining for a couple of minutes, she nodded toward Qiu Tu.

The next second, Qiu Tu felt all the lines of the surrounding material world being pulled away, and his world directly turned into a world composed of gray and white lines.

'Forced world flip?'

Qiu Tu was surprised.

Before he could even finish his surprise, he found himself in the desert of the "Eastern City Area".

"Come with me."

Zhao Ji's cold voice rang in his ears, and Qiu Tu reflexively looked up.

As a result, he found himself uncontrollably flying into the air, and then following behind Zehime towards the edge of the "Eastern City Area".

Judging from Zhao Ji's appearance, she was actually preparing to cross the regional fog and directly pursue Mu Ye across regions!

Qiu Tu was stunned. Was this woman really that fierce?

........

at the same time.

Outside the disaster zone. Wuchao City. New Democratic Army barracks, main tent.

A figure shrouded in a black robe sat in an antique chair, quietly listening to a soldier's report.

Upon hearing that Zhao Ji had reappeared after he was forced to retreat, the expression on the dark figure's face turned serious.

'Zhao Ji? Why is she back?'

'Could it be... that I failed to advance?'

'This shouldn't be... With her strength, how come she can't advance to the 6th rank?'

Thinking of this, the shadowy figure's face was filled with confusion. He pondered quietly for a moment, then recalled the messages he had spread in Dongye Prefecture, and a slight sense of foreboding crept into his heart...

'That woman wasn't coming for me, was she?'

'She failed to advance, is she planning to steal my "nose bridge" (a feature on her nose)?'

Chapter 469 The Road to Advancement to the Fifth Rank! (10,000 words, please vote!)

Thinking about it, the shadowy figure felt the situation was getting worse.

For a moment, his brows furrowed deeply.

His anxiety stemmed from nothing other than... the whole "Yamagen" thing was fabricated by him to frame Qiu Tu.

How could such a precious treasure exist in such a remote area as Dongyezhou?

He deliberately said that "Dongye Prefecture" had a mountain root for two reasons.

Firstly, the root of the nose is extremely valuable and versatile. Cataclysmic beings of all strengths would be motivated to seize it.

It was enough to muddy the waters of the entire Eastern Province, and even the Eighth Sanctuary.

In this way, he can not only sow discord among the high-ranking officials of Dongyezhou, preventing them from forming a united front to invade the disaster zone.

We could also... take advantage of the chaos and give him ample time to obtain that treasure.

Secondly... he had also noticed Shen Lingshuang's unusual behavior around Qiu Tu. He had discovered that she was merely a fragment of a soul.

Although it's unclear how Shen Lingshuang transformed from a fragment of a soul into a human, this doesn't change the fact that she remains just a fragment of a soul.

Therefore, Shen Lingshuang must have various problems with her soul fragments.

For example, incoherent or confused memories.

And this... is similar to the external appearance of the "bridge of the nose".

Therefore, if someone really wants to investigate, it will be easy to find Qiu Tu and Shen Lingshuang.

Thus, Mu Ye achieved his goal—he not only successfully restrained Qiu Tu, a formidable enemy, but also diverted the attention of Dongye Prefecture and the sanctuary.

Mu Ye's original plan was excellent and went smoothly.

Especially after His projection attacked Dongcheng City, helping the Dongyezhou leadership further narrow down the target area, and after His newly recruited believers secretly guided the situation, the entire plan went even more smoothly.

But who knew... that Lady Zhao would suddenly appear out of nowhere?

Although Mu Ye believed that he was no weaker than Zhao Ji, as they were both peak fifth-tier evil gods.

However... he was originally better at intrigue and trickery than actual combat.

If you were to go toe-to-toe with a master of the same level, it might end up with both sides suffering heavy losses, which would only benefit the shelter.

'It seems... I need to think of a solution...'

.......

Meanwhile, Qiu Tu and Zhao Ji were on their way to find Mu Ye.

Even though Qiu Tu knew that Zhao Ji was very strong, the fact that she could control her body at will still surprised him.

So, as he flew, he tentatively inquired, "Your Highness, is what you're controlling me your cataclysmic power?"

Zhao Ji, who was flying beside Qiu Tu, gave a blank "hmm".

Qiu Tu asked, "This catastrophe capability seems very strong. What exactly does it do?"

Zhao Ji glanced at him and said coldly, "Cataclysmic abilities are something everyone needs to survive. Inquiring about cataclysmic abilities is no different from provoking someone."

Qiu Tu: .....

My sister-in-law is really a bit heartless.

However, given the current situation, Qiu Tu didn't dare to ask any further questions. He simply kept the question to himself, planning to ask La Riluo when he returned.

If Larilu and herself, as well as her relationship with So-hime, knew, they probably wouldn't hide it from her.

But... if we can't ask about cataclysmic abilities, what can we ask?

Mu Ye didn't know how far away it was, and he couldn't just stay silent the whole way, could he?

Thinking this, Qiu Tu's gaze swept over the desert rushing past him, and suddenly his eyes lit up. He tried to ask a second question, "By the way, Princess Zhao Ji, do you know how to advance to a fifth-tier Cataclysm?"

"Or rather, how do I advance to a pseudo-fifth-tier Cataclysm?"

Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Zhao Ji, who was flying, gave him a strange look and said, "Why are you asking me this question? Don't you humans have your own methods?"

"Moreover... don't even mention pseudo-fifth-order methods, you also have pseudo-sixth-order methods."

This time, it was Qiu Tu's turn to be shocked.

He looked at Zhao Ji in surprise, then asked, "Do humans have a way to advance to pseudo-6th rank?"

He asked hesitantly, "How do you know this?"

Zhao Ji's expression grew even stranger. "Because you humans are in the 'Boundless Heart Sea - Core Area'."

Qiu Tu:? ! !

At that moment, Qiu Tu was neither surprised nor shocked.

In his mind, the highest human strength was only the peak of the fourth rank, right?

When did there become a fifth tier, or even a sixth tier?

Moreover... humans have actually set foot in the "Boundless Heart Sea - Core Area"?

How come I've never heard of this before? What went wrong?
