Then let them offer their loyalty!

Shen Yuzhou: .....

Hearing the girl's words, a vein throbbed on Shen Yuzhou's forehead. He glared at the girl and said, "Someone who runs away is a deserter!"

"If this were wartime, someone like you would be court-martialed!"

The relationship between the father and daughter did seem a bit strange, so the girl didn't care at all about Shen Yuzhou's harsh criticism.

She jumped onto the sofa next to Shen Yuzhou, casually propped her legs up on the armrests, grabbed a grape from the table, popped it into her mouth, and said nonchalantly, "Enough already."

"You human laws can't even govern yourselves, how can they govern us gods?"

"Besides, if the law were truly effective, it should arrest you, the beast who killed your own daughter, first."

Upon hearing the girl's words, Shen Yuzhou, dressed in a suit and impeccably groomed, immediately turned extremely ugly.

He turned the jade thumb ring on his hand, and his right eye behind his monocle suddenly turned crimson, and a strange and powerful aura suddenly appeared around him.

The girl was startled and quickly stepped back, waving her hands repeatedly, "Dad, Dad. I was just joking, just joking. Look at you. Look at you."

Hearing the girl's words, Shen Yuzhou slowly raised his head. His gaze was icy, one eye dark and the other bloodshot as he stared at the girl. His voice was hoarse as he said, "I told you, you are my only daughter in this world."

"You are Shen Lingshuang, Shen Lingshuang is you."

Upon hearing Shen Yuzhou's name, the girl nodded vigorously, like a chicken pecking at rice. "Yes, yes, yes. I am Shen Lingshuang, and Shen Lingshuang is also me."

Seeing that the girl had given in, Shen Yuzhou's expression softened slightly, and his crimson pupils finally returned to normal.

He straightened his clothes, leaned back on the sofa, and asked expressionlessly, "Tell me, what exactly happened between Qiu Tu and Li Feng just now?"

Upon hearing Shen Yuzhou's words, the girl rested her chin on her hand, thought for a long time with a serious expression, and then said, "Old Deng, I feel... Li Feng might really be afraid of being pregnant by Qiu Tu."

Shen Yuzhou: ! !

Seeing that Shen Yuzhou was about to explode again, the girl quickly waved her hand, "Just kidding, just kidding."

This time, she finally got serious. She said earnestly, "Actually, I didn't sense it very clearly just now. But... I felt that Qiu Tu seemed to have used some kind of cataclysmic ability. That ability had a very narrow range, deliberately avoiding others and only targeting Li Feng."

"The moment the cataclysmic power struck, Li Feng's expression clearly changed."

"Cataclysmic ability?" Shen Yuzhou hesitated for a moment, then asked, "What kind of cataclysmic ability?"

The girl shook her head and said very sincerely, "I don't know."

Shen Yuzhou frowned slightly. He tidied his meticulously styled hair, his expression somewhat hesitant. "When using his ability, is Qiu Tu still at the fourth level?"

The girl nodded and sat back down on the sofa. "Yes. Still fourth tier. And... it's only early fourth tier. Very weak."

Shen Yuzhou frowned deeply this time and questioned, "So... you mean, a fourth-tier early-stage Cataclysm user scared off a seventh-tier Cataclysm user with their Cataclysm ability?"

The girl shrugged. "He might have used some special method to suppress his strength. But what I saw... that's definitely what happened. Believe it or not."

Shen Yuzhou said with a serious expression, "It seems... there is indeed something wrong with this Qiu Tu."

"I'll go talk to Commander Li in a bit and see what her attitude is."

"Perhaps, we can make some new discoveries from her."

After saying this, Shen Yuzhou calmly picked up his teacup, drank the tea in it in one gulp, and then stood up to leave.

Seeing this, the girl who looked exactly like Shen Lingshuang also quickly got up and prepared to follow.

Just as the two were about to leave the living room, Shen Yuzhou suddenly stopped.

He didn't turn around, but turned his head slightly to the side, and then said in a deep voice to the girl behind him, "Remember, you are my only daughter, Shen Lingshuang."

"I don't want this to happen again."

After saying that, he turned and left.

After he left, the girl who looked exactly like Shen Lingshuang stood there for a moment. Once Shen Yuzhou was far away and could no longer see her expression, the girl grinned, revealing her two small tiger teeth, and glared at Shen Yuzhou's retreating figure.

Then, inwardly, she cursed, 'You are Shen Lingshuang, your whole family is Shen Lingshuang.'

'My name is Candle Dance!'

Muttering a curse under her breath, the girl composed herself, adopting a cunning and clever demeanor, before following him out...

......

Meanwhile, at the 7th Sanctuary, the Senate.

Emerging from the reception room, Li Feng, accompanied by her beautiful adjutant and lightly armored guards, strode swiftly, but with a solemn expression, towards the courtyard that Princess Xi had prepared for her in the Senate.

Upon arriving at the courtyard, the lightly armored guards dispersed to patrol and search the surrounding area.

Li Feng then led the beautiful adjutant into the inner room.

As the "top-tier" villa of the Senate, this place is generally used as a temporary resting place for the three leaders or other VIPs of the sanctuary, so it is decorated in a luxurious and noble style.

However, as the master of the Fourth Shelter, Li Feng had seen many such things. Her emotions remained unchanged, and her expression did not change. She simply gestured and said, "Check it out."

Upon hearing Li Feng's words, the beautiful adjutant quickly responded, then took out a specially made cataclysmic artifact and carefully scanned the room.

After confirming that there were no listening or surveillance devices, she came to Li Feng's side and respectfully said, "My lord, there is no problem."

The beautiful adjutant was clearly also curious and puzzled about what had just happened in the meeting room.

So after reporting, she considered it for a moment, then bowed slightly and asked, "My lord, is there something wrong with Qiu Tu?"

"Why didn't you intervene when he was so disrespectful to you?"

Upon hearing the beautiful adjutant's words, Li Feng's expression did not show any sign of unease; instead, it became more serious.

Her gaze shifted, and then she said with a deep and hesitant expression, "It's not that I didn't try. It's that I couldn't."

"Can't make a move?" The beautiful adjutant was a little puzzled.

Li Feng nodded, then her phoenix eyes narrowed slightly before she said, "Yes."

"He was far more terrifying than I had imagined. Facing him felt like facing 'that person' in the inner circle."

"I couldn't muster any will to resist."

Upon hearing Li Feng's words, the adjutant's expression changed slightly. "Who is it?"

"Impossible. That person is at the peak of the 8th rank."

Li Feng shook her head slightly, as if recalling what had just happened, and then said, "It's not about strength. It's about feeling. A feeling of... invincibility."

"I have a feeling that... what is standing in front of me is an unparalleled ferocious beast, a supreme evil god capable of destroying the world."

"I felt that if I attacked him, I would die."

Upon hearing Li Feng's words, the adjutant hesitated for a moment before saying, "But... my lord, you don't seem like the kind of person who would back down when faced with a desperate situation."

"Even if you encountered 'that person,' didn't you draw your sword back then?"

Li Feng gave a heavy "hmm," her gaze deep and firm. "That's the problem."

"I wasn't intimidated, and I really wanted to make a move."

"But... I found that I couldn't move at all."

This time, the adjutant's pupils contracted slightly, and she looked at Li Feng with surprise and suspicion.

Li Feng, sitting regally in his chair, also looked up at his adjutant.

The two looked at each other, and Li Feng nodded slightly, repeating, "Yes. I found that I couldn't raise my hand, nor could I gather all my strength."

“In front of him, I was like a toy, without my own will and unable to control my own body.”

"I could only watch as he raised his hand and made inappropriate advances towards me. He said he wanted to get me pregnant."

Upon hearing this, the adjutant coughed twice and said, "My lord, Qiu Tu didn't say he wanted to get you pregnant; he just said it wouldn't be difficult to get you pregnant..."

Halfway through her sentence, the adjutant felt even more uneasy. She thought for a moment and said, "He's just threatening you."

Li Feng waved her hand dismissively, "It's not important."

"The important thing is that he not only has an aura that I can't match, but he also has the strength that I can't match either."

"That's terrifying."

Her gaze was deep. "Although I'm not sure how he did it, it certainly proves that he has the power to threaten our shelter."

The "Iron Ladies Legion" is the foundation of Sanctuary 4.

In a sense, as long as Li Feng and the "Iron Women Legion" are there, the Fourth Shelter is there. Wherever Li Feng and the "Iron Women Legion" are, the Fourth Shelter is there.

Therefore, within the human camp, the 4th Sanctuary is jokingly referred to as the "mobile sanctuary" because of its exceptional mobility.

However, precisely because of this, Qiu Tu now has the ability to harm or even kill Li Feng, which means he has the ability to completely annihilate the 4th Sanctuary.

No wonder Li Feng said that Qiu Tu had the ability to threaten the 4th shelter.

Upon hearing Li Feng's words, the adjutant lowered his head and pondered for a moment before asking, "Then, my lord, what should we do now?"

"Are we just going to slink back like this?"

Li Feng pondered for a moment, then said decisively, "Let's hold back for now."

"Whether it's governing a country or doing anything else, the most important thing is stability. Changing policies frequently will only make things worse."

"Besides, it's not us who should be anxious right now, but Shen Yuzhou and the others."

"This operation was instigated by the Third Shelter. And it was Shen Yuzhou and his group who made the first move."

“Now that ‘Shen Lingshuang’ has been scared away, and I left without saying a word, they must be full of questions.”

"I'll test their attitude then..."

"Let's see what they're really thinking."

Li Feng said with a deep look in his eyes, "Actually, I'm also a little curious as to why 'Shen Ling Shuang' ran so fast."

"Could it be that Qiu Tu is truly a peerless master?"

...

Meanwhile, Shen Yuzhou and Li Feng were having different thoughts.

Qiu Tu, who had turned away in a huff, returned to his villa in the Senate.

Princess Xi followed closely behind him and went with him to the villa.

After the door closed, Princess Xi's beautiful eyes fell on Qiu Tu, and she asked, "How did you do that?"

Qiu Tu sat down in the main seat, glanced at her, and said with a smile, "How else could you do that?"

"It's all about ability."

Princess Xi did not respond to this, but her eyes were filled with disbelief.

And that is indeed the case: Qiu Tu had just been promoted to the 6th rank not long ago. No matter how fast he progressed or how rapidly his strength increased, it was impossible for him to reach the 7th rank now.

However, neither of the two enemies, one at the early stage of the seventh rank and the other at the middle stage of the seventh rank, were opponents that Qiu Tu could handle.

Therefore, Qiu Tu must have used some means...

'Could it be... that Zehime didn't actually leave?'

Thinking this through, Princess Xi couldn't help but hesitate...

At this moment, Qiu Tu poured himself a cup of tea, and while sipping it, he recalled the close call that had just occurred...

Qiu Tu wasn't lying; he had indeed solved the problem with his "real strength."

But besides his real talent, the most important things are his acting skills and his courage.

Zhao Ji has truly left. She has gone to prepare for seizing the "Divine Status" by heading ahead to the "Boundless Heart Sea - Core Area".

Therefore, Qiu Tu is now completely alone. He has absolutely no backing or help.

As a result, at this moment, the delegations from the Third and Fourth Shelter arrived together.

Moreover, they all brought along level 7 experts.

Qiu Tu had no other choice: either kneel down and admit defeat, or fight them to the death!

After much deliberation, Qiu Tu decided to choose neither option. He planned to bluff and stage an empty city ruse.

First, there's Shen Yuzhou and "Shen Lingshuang" from Shelter No. 3.

Two days ago, before Zhao Ji left, Qiu Tu actually had a conversation with her.

Qiu Tu inquired in detail about the situation when Zhao Ji stopped the combined forces of the two shelters that day.

So he learned that "Shen Lingshuang" was too frightened to show her face that day. And... it seemed she had been communicating telepathically with Shen Yuzhou the whole time.
