The overwhelming effect earlier was entirely due to the "Jackal" underestimating and Qiu Tu's calculation. If the "Jackal" hadn't been scared off, or had reacted, then Qiu Tu would have had to resort to his ultimate card: "Summoning Zhao Ji"! So, even if Ji Yuan had managed to stop the "Jackal", it's unlikely that Qiu Tu would have made another move. However, it must be said... this swordsman in white was indeed a skilled hand. Although he is now dead, perhaps to Qiu Tu, it is only in death that he truly becomes "one of us". With these thoughts, Qiu Tu released the effects of the "Sealing Jade" and then walked towards Princess Xi.... Meanwhile, as Qiu Tu began plotting the enhancement of the "Dark Soldier" strength again. With scouts leaving from various paths, the details of this grand battle began to spread to their respective factions. Moreover, because this battle was so crucial, many scouts used "Hundred-Eyed Vision" and similar Cataclysmic treasures to record it. This allowed various factions to almost clearly understand the strength of the "Jackal" and Qiu Tu. Especially in the video footage, where Ji Yuan, although fully armed and prepared, was defeated in one move and fled by the "Jackal" beaten by Qiu Tu! This distinctive comparison intuitively proved the power of Qiu Tu and the "Jackal"! And prior to the battle, the "Jackal" claimed that Qiu Tu had no strength, merely riding the coattails of Zhao Ji's intelligence, which obviously was immediately classified as false information! After all, not to mention Zhao Ji, but the strength Qiu Tu currently demonstrated is already unparalleled among all humans in the Northwestern Region. Even back then, King Kang, though quasi-sixth rank, was still far from being an opponent for the Sixth Rank Great Evil God Yama. This made the factions that initially viewed Qiu Tu unfavorably somewhat silent.... Seventh Sanctuary. Zhao Family Mansion. Zhao Pan, the family head of the Zhao clan, looked at the contents of the "Hundred-Eyed Vision" with a face of iron. As a member of the "Fog Hidden Association", he was certainly most familiar with the sixth-tier Evil God. The strength of a sixth-tier Evil God is simply incomparable to a fifth-tier Evil God. Thus, he was not surprised at the "Jackal" defeating Ji Yuan with one move. What surprised him was Qiu Tu's strength! 'Curse it! Damn it!' he thought. Zhao Pan paced back and forth in the study, filled with shock at Qiu Tu's power. 'Isn't he just a fame-seeking opportunist? Shouldn't he be riding on Zhao Ji's achievements?' he pondered. 'How is it that he's really this strong?' he questioned. 'How can this be fought, how can it be fought?' he kept asking himself. Thinking this, Zhao Pan paced back and forth in the study once again. After dozens of round trips, Zhao Pan's steps slowly began to ease. He pondered, with brows furrowed, and then had a vague idea in mind. So, he went to the desk, picked up the phone, and started communicating. The following morning, the official letter from the Seventh Sanctuary spread once more throughout the hands of the upper echelons of the Eight Great Shelters. Get full chapters from novelFɪre.net "The despicable dictator is attempting to take the Seventh Sanctuary, embarking on his first step of dictatorship." Still with the eye-catching headline, but the rhetoric had changed somewhat. The previous official letter merely degraded Qiu Tu's personality as "evil", then vented some emotions. But affairs in the Northwestern Region were too distant from the other Shelters. Events not happening to others are hard to invoke empathy. And this time the Seventh Sanctuary's official letter was much smarter. The upper echelons of the various Shelters all held great power as bosses. Holding power, nobody wishes to step down. And for Qiu Tu to want to become a dictator and the common leader of humanity, he would inevitably need to encroach upon others' territories. He would have to rise above everyone. Everyone is accustomed to being the "Emperor" in their domain, how could they accept a "Retired emperor". Precisely understanding the inner thoughts of the upper echelons of the Shelters, this official letter from the Seventh Sanctuary focused on Qiu Tu's "Order-Politics" Cataclysm Path, and his ambition to dictate and become humanity's common leader. Sure enough, such an official letter immediately drew attention from various shelters, especially the Third, Fourth, and Fifth Sanctuaries..... For a while, scouts from these three major shelters also began heading towards the Northwestern Region. Sixth Sanctuary, Border State, Wangbei City. Qiu Tu looked satisfied at the man, newly resurrected by him, dressed in black and strikingly handsome. Apparently, this is the Dark Soldier resurrected from Ji Yuan's corpse. Due to great sacrifice, this Dark Soldier retained most of Ji Yuan's strength and Spiritual Wisdom. Qiu Tu named him "Swordsman", intending to make him the instructor for the "Dark Soldiers". He would use the method of training the forbidden army to properly train the dark soldiers under Qiu Tu. However, Ji Yuan was clearly not here to discuss training the Dark Soldiers.... "Master, Team 12 reports, 'Team Captain' and 'Big Sea' entered the Border State's area at 7 this morning." "'Mountain Root' is already secured, they are rushing back tirelessly, estimated to return to Wangbei City in 3 hours." Calmly adjusting his breath and recovering his strength, Qiu Tu merely uttered a soft "Uh-huh" with closed eyes, indicating his acknowledgment. Seeing this, Swordsman bowed slightly to Qiu Tu, then stooped down and merged into the darkness. Sure enough, three hours later, 'Team Captain' and 'Big Sea' returned to the City Lord Mansion in Wangbei City, then handed over the 'Mountain Root'.
