Then let them offer their loyalty!

She refused to believe it: could a mere Qiu Tu escape her grasp?!

Moreover, she came prepared.

Thinking this, Doris didn't chase after Qiu Tu. Instead, she said to him with a half-smile, "Speaker Qiu, aren't you curious about what Apocalypse is planning?"

Sure enough, this topic successfully piqued Qiu Tu's interest.

Qiu Tu suddenly stopped in his tracks and turned to look at Doris.

Doris stood there alluringly, her face beaming with smiles...

.....

At the same time, just as Qiu Tu and Doris started tugging at each other again.

Zhao Ji also began her journey to help Qiu Tu get revenge.

Her first stop was the northern kingdom on the outskirts of the "Crimson Territory".

Facing the God King, she did not act arrogantly. Instead, she carried her sword and arrived at the outer perimeter of the "Northern Kingdom," her aura resembling a sharp sword, slowly rising into the sky.

Because she was only at the peak of the eighth rank, Zhao Ji's aura was far less imposing than that of a celestial being, but... it was incredibly refined.

Standing in the air outside the "Northern Kingdom", Zehime's golden eyes looked towards the "Northern Kingdom".

Her gaze seemed to pierce through layers of space, landing on the Northern God King.

A moment later, her cold voice rang in the ears of every living being in the "Northern Kingdom," "Beize, come out and face your death."

That cold, desolate voice transformed into rolling thunder, rumbling in the ears of every living being.

In that instant, countless creatures awoke from their slumber, then looked up at the sky with terrified expressions.

Among them were spies from various factions who had been keeping an eye on the Four Great Gods.

Therefore, in just a few seconds, the news of Zhao Ji's challenge to the Northern God King spread almost throughout the "Boundless Heart Sea".

This is the only person in nearly a century to dare to directly challenge the God-King.

It's important to understand that in the past few centuries, it wasn't that no one wanted to challenge the God King, but even when facing the weakest of the God Kings, the Northern God King, they all couldn't last more than three moves.

Thus, gradually, the God-King became synonymous with invincibility.

As a result, now another person has emerged who wants to challenge the God King.

Combined with the shocking news of the fall of three celestial beings a few days ago, the "Boundless Heart Sea" was in turmoil.

All factions wanted to see if the God-King would finally end their undefeated myth.

However, despite their curiosity, if the various factions were to judge, they would most likely believe that the God-King would win.

After all... a clone is a clone, and the original body is the original body.

Zhao Ji was, after all, only at the peak of the eighth rank. Even if she could contend with the God King's avatar, it didn't mean she was a match for the God King's true form.

To everyone's surprise, the Northern God King seemed not to hear Zhao Ji's provocation and remained silent for a long time.

This change was indeed somewhat unexpected by everyone.

In an instant, a thought arose in the minds of all parties: Could it be... that the world has changed?

.....

Meanwhile, the wind direction in the "Boundless Heart Sea - Core Area" is changing rapidly.

Northwest region.

Qiu Tu's women—Tang Feifei, Guan Xiao, and Princess Xi—were also having a small meeting.

As Qiu Tu's most trusted right-hand women, the three women always handled the affairs of Qiu Tu's forces when Qiu Tu was away.

Guan Xiao was in charge of intelligence work and was the most well-informed.

She handed several documents to Tang Feifei and Princess Xi, then said, "According to intelligence, Zhao Ji successfully broke through to the peak of the eighth rank today, possessing god-level combat power. She has perfectly completed Qiu Tu's plan."

"This also gives us a second pillar of stability."

She paused for a moment, then said, "This also means that my guess yesterday was correct."

"The one who instantly killed three celestial-level avatars and shocked the God King was very likely Qiu Tu."

"After all, I don't think Doris has that kind of strength."

"Or rather... even if she has such power, I don't think she would completely side with us in such a short time and offend so many god-kings for our sake."

Upon hearing Guan Xiao's analysis, Tang Feifei and Princess Xi nodded slightly.

In the past few days, Qiu Tu visited "Crimson Collar," and they have been paying close attention to everything happening there.

Therefore, it is obvious that apart from Doris and Qiu Tu, there are no other deities of the eighth rank or above in the "Crimson Territory".

However, even though they trusted Qiu Tu, they still found it hard to believe that he was behind all of this. Therefore, they still retained the possibility that Zhao Ji had secretly advanced and gone to instantly kill the God King's avatar.

Today, Zhao Ji's advancement has shaken the "Boundless Heart Sea," and now, after leaving the "Crimson Territory," she has gone to the "Crimson Territory" to save the day. This fully proves that she was not the one who instantly killed the God King's clone yesterday.

Besides her, there was no one else but Qiu Tu. That's why Guan Xiao came to this conclusion.

After summarizing Qiu Tu's strength, Guan Xiao, with a pen between his fingers and his hands crossed under his chin, looked at the two women and slowly said, "The problem now is... if we can analyze this, other forces will likely analyze it soon as well."

"So, should we take this opportunity to give Qiu Tu a boost and help him build momentum, and see if we can take this chance to expand Qiu Tu's influence and penetrate into other areas?"

"In this way, Qiu Tu's strength can be further improved."

"As for the goal..."

At this point, Guan Xiao pointed to the location of the villa complex to the north and said, "For example... Siyuan Pavilion in the Northern Kingdom."

"After all... Qiu Tu has imprisoned the daughter-in-law of the Siyuan Pavilion Master in the villa."

Upon hearing Guan Xiao's words, the expressions of the two women present became slightly strange.

Although they, like Guan Xiao, were all living under Qiu Tu's beatings.

However, compared to Guan Xiao, the two women, perhaps due to their privileged backgrounds or long-standing positions, seemed a little reserved when talking about their new friends...

Requesting monthly votes.

Chapter 687: Exceeding the Promise to Zhao Ji (Seeking Monthly Tickets~)

Seeing this, Guan Xiao's lips curled up slightly, a faint smile on her face.

Since getting along well with Qiu Tu's women, Guan Xiao has gradually developed a little hobby: teasing them.

As Qiu Tu's most trusted helper, Guan Xiao knows exactly what Qiu Tu likes and expects.

Men, after playing too many duo games, always want to call up their friends, to play in groups of three, four, or even five.

However, the women around Qiu Tu, although they are all very good gaming companions, have one problem: they are not very open.

Perhaps due to societal constraints, or perhaps because they find it difficult to accept the presence of others, they only ever play duo queue with Qiu Tu, never considering duo or quad queue. And when Qiu Tu brings up topics about other girls, they actively avoid the conversation.

That state is very much like an ostrich: as long as they pretend not to know, then nothing exists.

Guan Xiao was keenly aware of this problem, so whenever she talked to them about something, she would deliberately and subtly remind them of the other women's presence.

Guan Xiao believed that persistence would eventually wear down the stone, and that after she reminded them many times, the women would gradually get used to the presence of others.

This will help Qiu Tu truly enjoy the blessings of having multiple wives.

And once this goal is achieved, it will definitely be a great achievement for her! If Qiu Tu is happy, he might reward her handsomely.

Of course... she didn't deny that she had a perverse interest in watching these women feel embarrassed and blush.

After all... Qiu Tu may be a bit of a jerk, but his taste is definitely on point. Those women were all so beautiful, each with their own unique charm and style.

So Guan Xiao would tease them from time to time and see their various reactions, which she found quite amusing.

Of course... she also learned a lot about flirting and emotional manipulation from Qiu Tu, and learned the principle of moderation.

So... seeing the strange expressions on Tang Feifei and Princess Xi's faces, she decided to stop while she was ahead. Then she took the initiative to change the subject.

"The reason I'm so certain that Qiu Tu is interested in Siyuan Pavilion is because he not only imprisoned the daughter-in-law of the Siyuan Pavilion Master, but also trapped the young master of Siyuan Pavilion, Shu Xia."

She paused for a moment, then added, "During this time, our 'Ministry of the Interior' has been following Qiu Tu's orders, brainwashing Shu Xia."

"It made Shuxia identify with our human culture and created a god-like image of Qiu Tu in Shuxia's heart."

Guan Xiao glanced at Tang Feifei and Princess Xi, then said, "At least... judging from Qiu Tu's arrangements, he must have grand ambitions."

"I suspect that after integrating the 'Northwest Region' and the 'Southwest Region,' he will most likely expand towards the 'Northern Kingdom.'"

"After all... the 'Northern Kingdom' is the closest divine kingdom to us. Moreover... among the four divine kings, the Northern Divine King is the weakest."

"Once Zhao Ji ascends to the celestial realm, the 'Northern Kingdom' will most likely be his for the taking."

"Therefore, after taking over the 'Southwest Region,' Qiu Tu's second target should be the 'Northern Kingdom.'"

"The only question is... how does he intend to integrate the 'Northwest Region' and the 'Southwest Region'?"

"After all... the controllers of the 'Southwest Region' are the 'Mist Shadow Society' of Apocalypse. They're still quite difficult to deal with."

Just as Guan Xiao was making this analysis, there was a sudden, loud knocking on the office door.

The voice clearly interrupted the three women's train of thought, so they stopped talking and looked up at the door.

The three exchanged glances, and finally, Guan Xiao called out towards the door, "Please come in."

The next second, the door was pushed open from the outside, and Shen Lingshuang, wearing a women's shirt on top and a women's uniform skirt on the bottom, stood prettily in the doorway.

During this period, Shen Lingshuang has made rapid progress in both strength and ability. She has now become Guan Xiao's assistant, a position equivalent to a deputy director in the Ministry of the Interior.

This progress has also made her originally quirky and mischievous temperament more mature.

But because she is still young, her mature demeanor mixed with her youthful innocence makes her, like a half-ripe apple, even more alluring.

Pushing open the door, Shen Lingshuang nodded to Tang Feifei and Princess Xi before quickly walking up to Guan Xiao.

Approaching Guan Xiao, she leaned close to Guan Xiao's ear and whispered in her melodious voice, "Two pieces of news."

"The first one came from the 'Northern Kingdom': After leaving the 'Crimson Territory,' Princess Zhao flew directly to the Northern Kingdom and challenged the 'Northern God King' to a duel."

"The Northern God King feigned death and remained silent, causing an uproar throughout the entire 'Northern Kingdom.'"

Upon hearing Shen Lingshuang's words, Guan Xiao couldn't help but look up at her, as if trying to discern whether what Shen Lingshuang said was true or false. She was clearly somewhat surprised by Zhao Ji's strength and the Northern God King's response.

After seeing Shen Lingshuang nod slightly, confirming the authenticity of the information once again, a thoughtful look appeared in her eyes.

After a moment, she continued, "And the second one?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Lingshuang whispered, "The second thing is... just now, 'Heavenly King Zhiyan' from the Second Shelter contacted us."

"They are here on behalf of the 'Hidden Mist Society' to connect with us."

"According to her, the 'Hidden Mist Society' has already sided with Zhao Ji and Qiu Tu, so they belong to the same faction as our 'human camp.'"

"As per Qiu Tu's request, they are to hand over to us everyone in the 'Southwest Region,' as well as everyone remaining in Shelter 5; and all the people in Shelter 3 and Shelter 4."

"And the second shelter, after being persuaded by them, is also considering whether to merge with us."

Although Shen Lingshuang spoke softly, everyone present was a high-level Cataclysm user, so they heard her clearly.

In that instant, even the usually composed Tang Feifei showed a hint of surprise on her wheat-colored face.

Needless to say, Princess Xi's expression was also quite different. Her brows were slightly furrowed, and her exotic face was filled with deep thought. Her emerald green eyes were like two bottomless pools of blue water, revealing no emotion.

As for Guan Xiao, she never pretended to be herself in front of her own people. So when she heard Shen Lingshuang's words, a look of surprise immediately appeared on her face.

After a moment, she looked at Tang Feifei and Princess Xi, then parted her fiery red lips and said with a smile, "It really is a case of what I wished for coming true."

"We were just discussing how to conquer the 'Southwest Region,' but I didn't expect... Qiu Tu has already done it all."

At this point, Guan Xiao looked at Shen Lingshuang and said, "If I'm not mistaken, Heavenly King Zhiyan will definitely come to talk to us in person, right?"

Perhaps feeling proud of Qiu Tu, Shen Ling Shuang grinned, revealing her two adorable little tiger teeth, and said, "Yes."

"Heavenly King Zhiyan said she will come to Dongcheng City this afternoon to meet with you in person."

Upon hearing Shen Lingshuang's words, Guan Xiao's bright and beautiful face lit up with a radiant smile. She said, "Okay, we understand."

"Ling Shuang, go and contact General Li Feng now."

“She came from a shelter and was negotiating with her mother, so she can provide us with a lot of help.”

Upon hearing Guan Xiao's words, Shen Lingshuang responded and then walked out, clutching the documents.
