Then let them offer their loyalty!

Then, with a deep gaze, he said, "The reason is simple. This is something that benefits both her and me."

"Feifei's path to cataclysm is 'destruction-conquest.' The more regions she conquers, the more power she gains."

"Now that she has conquered four states, her strength has already increased dramatically. It is estimated that once she conquers the entire 7th Sanctuary, her strength will likely leap directly to the peak of the fifth tier."

"So it's not surprising that she was moved and even came to ask me for advice."

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, La Riluo's scarlet eyes revealed a hint of realization, finding it to be true!

Then she thought for a moment, and asked curiously, "And what about you? What are the benefits of this plan for you?"

Qiu Tu stretched out his hand, made a grasping motion in the air, and then said, "Human hearts."

"Human hearts?" La Riluo was a little puzzled.

Qiu Tu nodded and said with a serious expression, "Yes."

"Now it's inevitable that the 7th shelter will fall into our hands. But the way it falls into our hands will be different, and the subsequent impact will also be different."

"If we take over the central government first and then persuade the other states to surrender, it will save a lot of effort, but it is actually considered that the other states are voluntarily surrendering."

"Not only can we not move their positions, but we also have to make many promises to appease them and maintain our rule."

"But if we first use military means to unify all the states and then take over the central area, then it would be equivalent to us taking over the entire 7th Sanctuary by force."

"Forget about conditions. As the defeated party, whether they live or die is entirely up to us."

At this point, Qiu Tu stated unequivocally, "They have absolutely no right to negotiate with us."

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's analysis, La Riluo's face showed a look of sudden realization. "This gives us room for strategic maneuvering."

"At that time, whether it's reorganizing the council of elders of the 7th shelter or adjusting personnel, there will be no constraints."

Qiu Tu smiled and nodded, acknowledging her analysis.

Seeing Qiu Tu's approval, La Riluo was clearly encouraged. She nestled in Qiu Tu's arms, thought quietly for a while, and then seemed to realize the "loophole" in the plan.

She let out a soft "Huh?" and then asked, "Wait a minute. If this has so many benefits, why didn't you think about sweeping through those eight states before?"

"With your brains, you shouldn't have failed to think of this plan, right?"

Hearing La Riluo's words, Qiu Tu smiled and said, "I did think of that before, but I rejected it early on."

Larilu blinked her bright red eyes, a little puzzled, "Why?"

Qiu Tu said, "The reason is very simple."

"1. I didn't expect this war to go so smoothly."

"2. And most importantly: Time!"

At this point, Qiu Tu's expression became serious.

He said, "I received news yesterday that Shelter No. 7 had requested assistance from Shelter No. 3, No. 4, and No. 5."

"According to the Kou family's intelligence, the Fifth Shelter refused the Seventh Shelter's request for help. However, the Third and Fourth Shelters did accept it."

"The top-ranked shelters are all powerful shelters that preserved the spark of civilization for humanity in the early stages of the Cataclysmic Era."

"They were able to withstand the backlash from so many evil gods; they must have some tricks up their sleeves."

“I don’t want to give them a chance, nor do I want the Seventh Shelter issue to drag on and cause any unforeseen complications.”

"Therefore, I must seize the 7th shelter as quickly as possible."

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, La Riluo tilted her head, her delicate, fair face revealing a high nose bridge and lips as red as blood.

Her eyes were strange and deep, like a bottomless abyss, gleaming with a cunning light. "Then why aren't you making the most of every second now?"

Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu smiled, picked up La Riluo, and said, "Of course it's because of your sister..."

.......

at the same time.

Shelter No. 6, located at the border of the "Northwest Region" and the "Southwest Region".

A beautiful white figure was sitting cross-legged on the ground, quietly cultivating.

Her strength may have increased again, and the "Boundless Heart Sea - Edge Area" is becoming increasingly unable to contain Zhao Ji: with each breath she takes, the space around her begins to shatter and recombine.

Those blocked outside by her were reinforcements from the 3rd and 4th shelters who had come together.

Vehicles lined up ahead, and the "Iron Ladies Legion" had disembarked and formed a queue.

Their entire bodies were made of steel armor, encasing them like steel cans.

The steel armor was entirely black, clinging tightly to their shapely bodies, providing them with comprehensive protection while also highlighting their stunning figures.

This time, they were clearly not at full strength; only about 1000 of the 1700 "Iron Women Army" showed up. But they were still a dense, dark mass.

In front of the "Iron Women's Army," the army's general, "Li Feng," was wearing black armor and standing with Shen Yuzhou, looking solemnly at Zhao Ji, who was sitting there.

Whether she sensed their gazes or not, Zhao Ji opened her eyes. As if from the aftereffects of her cultivation, her eyes swirled like tree rings.

Upon seeing everyone, Zhao Ji slowly stood up. She was like a proud, solitary iceberg, exuding unparalleled beauty and coldness. She was also like the purest ice sculpture in winter, every line revealing ultimate coolness and nobility.

Then, all alone, she coldly looked at the thousands of people ahead and said fearlessly, "Northwest ahead, the outer realms are forbidden!"

Upon hearing Zhao Ji's words, Shen Yuzhou and Li Feng's expressions became even more serious.

Shen Yuzhou's expression changed, and he wanted to negotiate with Zhao Ji.

Just then, he suddenly heard the voice transmission of "Shen Lingshuang" in his ear.

In the telepathic transmission, "Shen Lingshuang" was clearly extremely anxious. She shouted, "Old Deng! If you want to die, don't drag me down with you!"

"I'm telling you, don't fucking mess with that woman in front of you! Don't mess with her!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Yuzhou's expression changed, and he couldn't help but turn around to look into the car. There he saw that the usually fearless "Shen Lingshuang" had already gotten out of the car and was waving at him with a look of exasperation.

Judging from her expression, if Shen Yuzhou dared to continue, she was willing to abandon him and run away.

Shen Yuzhou: ....

At that moment, Li Feng looked at Shen Yuzhou and asked, "So? Want to go together?"

The commander of this "Iron Women's Army" doesn't speak in a normal woman's sweet and gentle voice; instead, her voice is a bit hoarse and magnetic.

Upon hearing Li Feng's question, Shen Yuzhou twirled the jade ring on his finger, pondered for a moment, and then said, "We've come here to mediate the conflicts in the 'Northwest Region.'"

"Avoid taking action if possible."

"So... if you want to force your way in, then go ahead."

"We can wait until Qiu Tu lets us through before we go in."

Hearing Shen Yuzhou's high-sounding words, Li Feng gave him a disdainful look before she began to consider the comparison of their strengths.

Because she didn't bring the complete "Iron Maiden Legion," Li Feng's strength couldn't reach its maximum, but she could still achieve mid-stage Rank 7.

But the girl in front of me, Zhao Ji, is only a lowly Rank 6. Maybe I should give it a try?

With this in mind, Li Feng wanted to issue orders and form a legion to increase his strength.

The moment she made her decision, she suddenly felt an unprecedentedly powerful aura descend upon her!

The next second, Li Feng's phoenix eyes widened suddenly, and her agile body tensed up as if she had seen her natural enemy!

If she's like this, then it goes without saying what the ordinary "Iron Ladies" are like.

They were all pinned to the ground, completely unable to resist!

With just a single aura, the allied forces of the 3rd and 4th shelters immediately realized how terrifying Zhao Ji was.

At that moment, Zhao Ji waved her hand, and a withered tree branch appeared in her hand.

Then she took the withered branch and waved her hand. The next second, a long ravine appeared between the "Northwest Region" and the "Southwest Region".

Zhao Ji coldly surveyed the allied forces from the 3rd and 4th sanctuaries before her and said in a chilling tone, "I'll say it again: Northwest ahead, the outer realms are off-limits!"

"Disobey! Kill!"

......

Over the next two days, Tang Feifei indeed followed her revised plan and began to sweep through the entire 7th shelter.

She surrounded the central stronghold of Sanctuary 7, neither speaking nor fighting. Then she deployed her forces to the other states.

With the example set by four states including Fengqi, the other states voted without hesitation.

Therefore, in less than two days, the entire 7th Sanctuary, except for the central area, fell into the hands of Qiu Tu & Princess Xi's allied forces.

At this time, the central command of the 7th Shelter finally received news of reinforcements from the 3rd and 4th Shelters.

When they learned that Zhao Ji had single-handedly stopped the reinforcements from the two major shelters, the central command of the 7th Shelter finally realized that the situation was hopeless and there was no way to reverse it.

Thus, the surrender faction, led by the Wei family, finally gained the upper hand and won the support of most of the senators in the Senate.

Therefore... Wei Zhengze, the head of the Wei family, directly ordered the disarmament, the opening of a shelter, and the welcoming of King Tu ten miles outside the city!

On the 5.1th.

This is the 8th day of the blitzkrieg at Shelter 7.

Qiu Tu and Princess Xi's army marched into the central hub of the 7th Shelter.

Wei Zheng followed Qiu Tu with a fawning expression.

With this, Shelter No. 7 was completely pacified and belonged entirely to Qiu Tu.

The "civil war" in Shelter 7 has been a constant concern for all the shelters and various factions.

Therefore, as soon as the outcome of the war was announced, the various shelters received the relevant intelligence almost immediately.

Rao Shou and Tang Wanfeng of the 8th Shelter remained silent for a long time after seeing the intelligence.

Even though they felt they had overestimated Qiu Tu, he would still prove them wrong time and time again.

Let them know that they will always underestimate Qiu Tu, never overestimate him.

Meanwhile, Kou Xuan of the Sixth Shelter, after receiving intelligence about this "civil war," simply stared quietly at the intelligence report in his hand, one minute, two minutes, three minutes...

Ten minutes later, he slowly closed his eyes and let out a deep sigh.

After sighing, he closed his eyes and said to the shadows in the study, "Let Tianyou commit suicide."

Kou Tianyou is clearly from a collateral branch of the Kou family. He's been hedging his bets, having allied himself with the evil god organization "Misty Society," and is codenamed "Masked." (Chapter 573)

Forcing Kou Tianyou to commit suicide now is clearly a "failed investment," and the Kou family has decided to sacrifice the pawn to save the king...

Meanwhile, reinforcements from the 3rd and 4th shelters also received the news.

After learning that the 7th shelter had completely fallen into Qiu Tu's hands, they had no reason to continue their journey to the "Northwest Region".

So Li Feng sternly told Zhao Ji, "You'll be punished by the human camp. We'll be back." After that, he led his troops back to the "Southwest Region."

As for Shen Yuzhou, he was much more polite.

He didn't make any harsh words, but simply nodded to Zhao Ji, who had sat down to meditate again, and then drove back to the "Southwest Region".

Perhaps sensing the departure of the two groups, Zhao Ji slowly opened her eyes.

When not using her "eye technique," Zehime's eyes are dark and bright, like burning stars, or as clear as a deer's; in short, they are very beautiful.

Watching the two groups of people leave, Zhao Ji's face remained expressionless....

She stared silently for over twenty seconds before slowly turning around, shifting her gaze from the "Southwest Region" to the "Northwest Region"...

Across vast distances of time and space, Zhao Ji seemed to see Qiu Tu at a banquet in the 7th Shelter, clinking glasses and exchanging toasts...

The lavish scene stood in stark contrast to Princess Zhao's current lonely and desolate state...

But her emotions and expression remained completely unchanged.

She was just silently calculating,

'We've helped everyone we could.'

'The Northwest region is now practically under Qiu Tu's control.'

'I should head to the "Boundless Sea of ​​the Heart - Core Area" too. Otherwise, I'll miss it....'

.....

5.2 days

Lin Xi/Princess Xi, in the name of the Lin family head, successfully entered the Senate.
