One became the deputy director of the Exploration Bureau, while the other joined the military and became a member of the Military Commission.
More importantly, a core member of the "academic" faction who held military power in the local area was transferred by Rao Shou to Beiyun Prefecture to take over the position of "Pei Jing" and begin to control the military power in Beiyun Prefecture.
This shows that neither Rao Shou nor Tang Wanfeng intended to suppress the "academic school," but rather to "support" it.
During this period, Pang Haichen also probed Rao Shou and Tang Wanfeng several times.
He discovered that Rao Shou and Tang Wanfeng's purpose was actually quite simple: the academic faction was indeed the one that produced the most elites in the 8th Sanctuary.
But precisely because so many elites were produced, the two leaders, in order to maintain a balance, could not allow the "academic school" to become too dominant.
That's why they've been tacitly suppressing the "academic school" all these years.
Now, both of them have advanced to the fifth rank and feel that they can suppress the academy faction with their personal strength and prestige.
Furthermore, with the recent successful expansion in several new states, the 8th shelter urgently needs a large number of personnel, so they have lifted their suppression of the "academics" and even provided them with compensation.
After figuring these things out, Pang Haichen gradually felt relieved.
Therefore, his attention returned to the affairs of New Jersey and East Virginia.
The information that Yaksha single-handedly killed six fifth-tier evil gods yesterday had already reached him.
He also keenly recognized this opportune moment to expand his territory.
However, before he could discuss it with Rao Shou and Tang Wanfeng, he discovered that Xinzhou had taken action on its own.
He called and questioned them before he learned that Qiu Tu and Tang Feifei had bypassed him and contacted Rao Shou and Tang Wanfeng directly, obtaining their authorization.
This made him feel that his authority had been challenged, and it also strengthened his desire to get rid of Qiu Tu.
Qiu Tu is now connected to too many things.
"The evil goddess sisters, Zhao Ji and La Ri Luo," "The Earth's Ley Line Flower of the Hidden Mist Society," "Influence among the upper echelons of the two states," "The backgrounds of Rao Shou and Tang Wanfeng," "The 36-city expansion plan in the disaster zone"...
Once Qiu Tu is eliminated, all of this will disappear.
Zehime and the others will return to a neutral stance towards everything; the Kirigakure Society's mission will be completed; the leadership of the two states will lose its cohesion;
Rao Shou and Tang Wanfeng could no longer interfere in the two states; and the development plan for the 36 cities in the disaster zone, including the military power of the two states, would all fall into the hands of the "academics".
Thinking of this, Pang Haichen clenched his fists involuntarily, his sharp eyes gazing into the dark night.
'Everything hinges on tonight's battle!'
......
Aside from La Riluo and Pang Haichen, there were a few other people who knew about Qiu Tu's plans for tonight.
For example, Rao Shou and Tang Wanli; for example, Tang Feifei, Guan Xiao, and Princess Xi; for example, Chen Feng and Zhu Huoyan, etc., they are all silently waiting...
Even if they don't know when the battle will begin or when it will end.
But they knew that this might be a war of profound significance!
Even many evil gods are secretly watching this battle!
After all, this battle could very well influence the future of the four states, and even the Eighth Sanctuary, for the next decade or so!
.......
At this time, Qiu Tu was unaware that his fate would be affected so greatly.
After dodging more than ten times, he finally made a mistake when his mental focus was not fully concentrated!
"Buzz!!" It was just a buzzing sound!
The next second, blood flew everywhere!
Qiu Tu had half of his arm, along with a layer of skin and flesh, sliced off!
If he hadn't dodged quickly, his body would probably have been blown to pieces!
'Strong. So strong....'
Qiu Tu clutched his bleeding wound, his face pale, his whole body aching so much that he was sweating profusely.
Meanwhile, Little Yaksha stood at the temple entrance, grinning at Qiu Tu, unusually refraining from pressing his advantage.
In her uniquely childlike voice, she said, "Qiu Tu, right?"
"You're actually quite handsome."
"After you die, can you give me your head as a chamber pot?"
Qiu Tu:? ?
The little demon grinned wickedly, "Don't worry, I'll definitely preserve it with the cataclysmic materials so that your handsome face can look at me every night."
Qiu Tu: .....
To be honest, even Qiu Tu, a pervert, felt that this little girl in front of him was a bit too perverted.
0:26
But he's really at his limit now. If he can stop teleporting and chat for a bit to get through the last 20 seconds, that would be a good thing for him.
So he clutched his wound, panting, but still said with a smile, "It's no fun cutting my head off."
"If you ask me, Your Highness Yaksha, you can take my heart and lungs out, make a specimen, and display it in your bedroom."
"That way, you can look at me when you miss me. You can use whatever you need whenever you want."
0:19
Qiu Tu's even more extreme remarks actually caught Yaksha's eye.
She clenched her small right hand into a fist, gently tapped her left hand, and a look of realization dawned on her face. "That makes sense!"
"Then I have no need to turn you into a specimen."
"I'll just turn you into a living Cataclysmic Noble Phantasm."
"That way, I can do whatever I want to you!"
0:11
After saying that, the wicked little girl looked at Qiu Tu with shining eyes, and then said to the void, "Zhao Ji, my patience is limited."
"Now, I've set my sights on this man. If you don't come out, I'm taking him away."
0:09
There was no response from the void, and Qiu Tu's heart sank deeper and deeper.
Seeing this, the little demon chuckled and said, "Then I won't be polite."
As she spoke, she took small, short steps forward.
She wasn't walking very fast, but each step she took seemed to cover dozens of meters!
The red countdown timer is flashing wildly!
0:07
Qiu Tu teleported away from where he stood!
0:05
But! The little girl seemed to have anticipated his prediction and followed closely behind!
0:04
Qiu Tu continued to dodge! But the little girl kept closing the distance between them! Her smile grew even wider!
0:03
As the countdown was about to reach zero, Qiu Tu was filled with despair!
Zetsuhime!
Zetsuhime!
Princess Zetsu really isn't coming out?!
0:02
With only two seconds left in the countdown, Qiu Tu had completely given up hope.
He sighed inwardly, knowing that he might have really lost his gamble.
He knew he had no choice but to use his last means of escape. With that thought in mind, he tried to signal his captain.
At this moment, the little girl Yaksha finally arrived beside Qiu Tu.
She appeared before Qiu Tu like an innocent child, then looked up and gave him a sweet smile, "Got you!"
0:01
With the countdown just one second away from zero, Yaksha reached out his hand to Qiu Tu!
Qiu Tu closed his eyes, preparing to teleport away!
Just then, suddenly! A crisp "clang" rang out!
In that instant, Qiu Tu felt himself being suddenly embraced! A warm body pressed tightly against his!
Immediately afterwards, a loud "BOOM!" was heard!
Qiu Tu felt as if he were in the eye of a storm! The power of cataclysm surged through his body, and his blood began to boil!
He quickly sent a signal to the "captain" to cancel the teleportation, then opened his eyes to see what had happened!
As a result, he found himself being held by Zhao Ji and protected behind him!
Zehime's eyes flashed with a cold light, filled with a bloodthirsty killing intent as she stared intently at the evil little loli Yasha not far away!
Little Loli Yasha, however, had somehow retreated more than ten meters, blood dripping from the corner of her mouth, staring intently at Zehime!
A somber atmosphere spread rapidly through the air!
The little demon looked at Zehime, then tentatively asked, "Zehime?"
Zhao Ji protected Qiu Tu and gave a cold "hmm".
The little girl's smile slowly grew wider and wider!
A moment later, she burst into arrogant laughter!
"A reincarnated god! A reincarnated god! Hahaha! I never expected to encounter a reincarnated god who is only at the fifth level!"
"This is truly divine intervention!"
After saying that, her gaze sharpened, and she coldly called out, "Beauty Feng, come out."
Upon hearing her words, the messenger, who had been standing at the temple entrance amidst a group of twilight devotees, smiled and slowly stepped forward...
-------
Two chapters, 10,000 words each. Please vote with monthly tickets!
I've been staying up until 7 or 8 AM these past few days, and I just couldn't take it anymore. I almost couldn't get out of bed for work yesterday.
So if I don't finish writing the next chapter, I won't stay up any longer. I estimate I'll update around 17 PM this afternoon... so please don't wait up.
Chapter 525 Slaying the Yaksha! (10,000 words, please vote!)
When the little demon shouted the name "Beauty Wind".
The group of core believers of Twilight at the temple entrance were actually quite startled.
Who is Meirenfeng?
The "Hidden Mist Society" is one of only two Rank 6 Great Evil Gods in the Northwest region! The person in charge of guarding the 7th Sanctuary!
As a "super-level" evil god like Yaksha, he was virtually invincible throughout the entire Northwest region.
Therefore, as core believers of Twilight, even if they had never seen Meirenfeng, they had heard of her reputation.
But what is a "messenger"?
They are liaison officers for each member of the "Hidden Mist Society" in the Northwest region. Their main responsibilities include intelligence gathering and communication, as well as liaison with the messenger Yaksha.
Although his status wasn't low, it was just so-so.
This can be seen from the fact that the believers at dusk all knew him.
