Then let them offer their loyalty!

The most powerful person in the Northwest region, the ruler of the four states, who slew a sixth-tier evil god and brazenly interfered in the internal affairs of the Sixth Sanctuary!

Each of those titles was enough to terrify the Cheng family.

After all, Qiu Tu is now a powerful figure in the Northwest region. Even the Kou family of the 6th Shelter doesn't dare to provoke him easily, let alone the Cheng family, which is far inferior to the Kou family.

When Yudie ran away, they searched for her for a long time and even thought that such a young girl must have died outside, which they found regrettable.

Unexpectedly, the little girl underwent a transformation in the darkness and grew into a gigantic creature...

This immediately threw the Cheng family into a panic.

The Cheng family's inner courtyard, the head of the household's study.

Cheng Hong, his face ashen, stared at the middle-aged man standing before him with his head bowed. He pounded the table and said, "So, it's completely confirmed that Yu Die is the 'furnace' from back then?!"

Upon hearing Cheng Hong's words, the middle-aged man, his face pale, replied, "Yes... Patriarch. Yes."

"She is the furnace vessel that was implanted with the 'Butterfly Transformation Gu' by the 'Zhao Family' and then escaped."

“Rain Butterfly… Rain Butterfly… A butterfly in the rain, a butterfly with a drifting past, the Butterfly Transformation Gu, no wonder, no wonder.” Cheng Hong stood up angrily, paced back and forth behind the desk several times, and then suddenly stopped.

He suddenly looked at the middle-aged man in front of him, then said expressionlessly, "How much does Yu Die know about what happened back then? Does she know about the 'Butterfly Transformation Gu' and the 'Zhao Family'?"

The middle-aged man looked as if he had lost his parents, and said with a mournful face, "Master, I don't know either."

"Theoretically, she shouldn't know these things. But... she ran away suddenly back then."

"Although the investigation later revealed that it was a relative who was very close to her parents who couldn't stand by and watch, and deliberately let her go. But... who knows if she heard some scattered information and then ran away in fear."

Hearing the middle-aged man's words, Cheng Hong's expression turned even more grim. He asked, "What about the relative who let her go?"

The middle-aged man swallowed hard and said, "Back then... they were all thrown into the water dungeon."

"The body is probably rotten by now."

Cheng Hongqi felt a little dizzy.

But the middle-aged man couldn't really be blamed, so he could only cover his forehead and force himself to hold it in.

After holding out for a few minutes, Cheng Hong waved his hand and said, "Alright, you can leave now. I need to report this matter to Elder Zhao."

"Yes," the middle-aged man replied, and quickly backed away.

After the middle-aged man left, the entire study became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Cheng Hong, the head of the Cheng family, stood silently in front of the desk for a while with a blank expression, then his face suddenly became ferocious!

"Ah!" With a loud shout, Cheng Hong swept everything on the table to the floor and slumped heavily into a chair, his face filled with anger and regret!

After sitting quietly in the chair for a while, Cheng Hong finally came back to his senses.

He muttered to himself, "It's okay, there's still a chance, there's still a chance."

"If we can cooperate with the Kou family and attack the Dongye Prefecture army from both sides, keeping Qiu Tu and Yu Die tied up in the battlefield of the 6th Shelter, there might still be a chance of survival."

"With the combined efforts of the two major shelters and the assistance of experts from other shelters, even Qiu Tu cannot turn the tide."

Thinking this, he quickly picked up a red landline phone on the table and dialed a secret line.

.....

Meanwhile.

The 6th Sanctuary, Border State, Wangbei City, City Lord's Mansion.

The luncheon was drawing to a close.

However, compared to the harmonious atmosphere at the beginning of the banquet, the atmosphere now feels a bit cold.

The reason is simple: the guests at this banquet, Tang Feifei, Yu Die, and that strange man, ate very little food throughout the entire event, and they didn't even accept the toasts offered by Princess Xi and the others.

In politics, every move has a profound meaning.

It's impossible for two parties to be cooperating well, only to suddenly become cold towards each other.

Therefore, the fact that the three of them are now giving the cold shoulder is clearly sending a bad signal.

This made Princess Xi and the royalists increasingly solemn.

Sure enough, during the meal, Tang Feifei politely took a tissue and gently wiped her mouth, then looked up, her wheat-colored face expressionless, and said...

"Your Highness, Qiu Tu asked me to pass on a message to you."

"Surrender."

Upon hearing Tang Feifei's words, the expressions of the royalists present changed drastically.

Princess Xi, in particular, had a face as cold as ice.

She glared at Tang Feifei with eyes blazing with fury, then asked in an icy tone, "Is Speaker Tang joking?"

"Surrender? Surrender to whom? To that Kou family, those usurpers who stole the country?!"

Upon hearing Princess Xi's words, Tang Feifei remained silent. Yu Die, sitting beside her, smiled and gently advised, "Princess, please don't be so angry."

"We're just relaying orders."

"As you can see, the Kou family is now very powerful, and the royalists have almost no chance of winning."

"And now, our army has arrived at the 6th shelter, and together with the Kou family, you have no way to resist."

At this point, Yu Die paused for a moment, then clapped her hands gently.

The next second, the dark soldier legion that had previously obeyed Princess Yu Xi began to appear one by one inside and outside the banquet hall. Then they began to take control of the entire city lord's mansion.

Upon witnessing this scene, Princess Xi and the several high-ranking members of the royalist faction were instantly enraged and stood up in anger.

"You brat! You despicable person!"

Because the incident happened so suddenly, Li Hanxiang, one of the core members of the royalist faction and a cabinet minister, was so angry that he pointed his finger at the noses of several people and cursed them.

"We treated you with kindness, but you betrayed us and harbored wolfish ambitions!"

Upon hearing his words, neither Tang Feifei, Yu Die, nor the unfamiliar man showed any change in expression.

For those in high positions, deceit and treachery are basic skills. If they feel guilty about it, they'll probably live with that guilt for the rest of their lives.

Besides, it was Qiu Tu who made the promise, and it was Qiu Tu who broke it. They were just following orders; what did it have to do with them?

It was precisely because of this thought that Tang Feifei's wheat-colored face remained unchanged. She narrowed her eyes, looked at Li Hanxiang, and said domineeringly, "Lord Li, we soldiers only have obeying orders as our top priority."

"As for your so-called betrayal and prodigal ambitions, they have nothing to do with us."

"We only received one order: enter Shelter No. 6 and persuade you to surrender. If you don't surrender, then we will take you down."

Upon hearing Tang Feifei's domineering words, the faces of those on Princess Xi's side turned ashen.

As the most powerful member of the royalist faction, former Imperial Guard Commander Ji Yuan slowly stood up. He looked coldly at Tang Feifei and then said, "I wonder where Speaker Tang gets her confidence from."

"You don't think you're invincible just because you've advanced to the fifth rank, do you?"

“In the 8th Sanctuary, a fifth-tier expert might indeed be at the peak, but in the 6th Sanctuary, a fifth-tier expert is not the end.”

After hearing his words, Tang Feifei slowly stood up, then looked at Ji Yuan, her aura erupting as her golden Martial Soul True Form appeared.

Then, together with the Martial Soul True Body behind her, she struck a unified starting stance, her sharp eyes fixed on Ji Yuan. "Commander Ji, please."

Although Dongye Prefecture brought 90,000 troops this time, it is very likely that they will cooperate with the Kou family to attack the royalists from both sides.

However... the royalists weren't without a glimmer of hope: that was to capture Tang Feifei and the others.

The Dongye Prefecture army is thousands of miles away from the 9th shelter. If the leader is captured first, the army will immediately lose its combat capability.

The royalists could also divide and assimilate them.

So, as Ji Yuan was the first to stand up, Xiao Huan, Li Hanxiang, Xu Yun, and Du Wenzhong also stood up in turn.

Of the four, Li Hanxiang is at the third rank, while Xiao Heng, Xu Yun, and Du Wenzhong are all at the fourth rank.

However, Xiao Heng is a peak fourth-tier warrior, while Xu Yun and Du Wenzhong are just ordinary fourth-tier warriors.

This time, without Yu Die and the stranger even having to make a move, "Pang Haichen," "Captain," "Scarface," and another peak third-tier dark soldier from the dark army all stepped forward.

The three individuals were at the mid-stage of the fourth tier, the late-stage of the fourth tier, and the peak of the fourth tier, respectively. Together with the peak third-tier dark soldier, their strengths corresponded perfectly to the four individuals.

So, the four of them quickly got into a fight.

Soon, only Yu Die, Princess Xi, and the strange man remained in the banquet hall.

Compared to the five core members of the royalist faction who were furious, Princess Xi was clearly more restrained.

Her exotic and stunningly beautiful face was covered in frost. She just stared at Yu Die, staring intently.

Yu Die quietly looked at Princess Xi, then suddenly smiled and said, "Princess, it seems that you are my opponent."

At this point, Yu Die stood up, smiled at Princess Xi, and said, "Actually... before I came here, Qiu Tu told me that you are actually quite extraordinary."

"Because... you, a weak woman, were able to stand up to the Kou family in the 6th Shelter, which in itself demonstrates your resourcefulness and personal charm."

"Even though his personal guards were all killed, and he was imprisoned, he remained calm and even dared to slowly plot and find the key to break the deadlock."

"This shows that you are very courageous and have extraordinary strength."

"So he told me to be very careful with you. Don't let your guard down."

At this point, Yu Die paused for a moment, then continued, "Of course, the more important reason why Qiu Tu asked me to face you is... we actually have a long history together."

From the moment Yu Die uttered her first words, Princess Xi watched her silently. But she never responded with a single word.

Only after hearing this did Princess Xi give Yu Die a deep look, and then asked, "Origin?"

Yu Die nodded, then said, "Yes, it's a matter of origin."

After saying that, she didn't explain any further, but gestured to Princess Xi and said, "Princess, please make your move."

Upon hearing Yu Die's words, Princess Xi looked at her with a stern expression, then stepped forward as well...

........

Meanwhile, in the Boundless Heart Sea - East City area.

The underground palace of Princess Zetsu.

Zhao Ji sat on the bed, eyes closed, cross-legged, and quietly cultivated with her palms facing upwards. Qiu Tu leaned against the headboard and asked, "Your Highness, do you think... a catastrophic being can simultaneously embark on two catastrophic paths?"

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Zhao Ji's expression changed slightly for some reason, but she immediately withdrew it.

Qiu Tu did not notice anything amiss with Zhao Ji.

He only heard Zhao Ji slowly explain, "Yes."

Qiu Tu seemed to be just chatting casually. He rested his hands behind his head, his eyes somewhat vacant. "Then tell me... can a person's cataclysmic ability or talent be extracted and used to become some kind of special cataclysmic material, or even become another person's cataclysmic talent?"

With her eyes closed, Zhao Ji cultivated while calmly saying, "Are humans inherently more noble than other living beings?"

Qiu Tu was stunned for two or three seconds before he realized what Zhao Ji was talking about—cataclysmic materials are originally taken from various cataclysmic beings. So, as a member of the cataclysmic beings, the Cataclysmic Beings can certainly also be used as cataclysmic materials.

Thinking this, Qiu Tu nodded. Then he said, "Your Highness, do you know about the 'Butterfly Transformation Gu'?"

This time, Zeji opened her eyes.

She glanced at Qiu Tu expressionlessly, then said indifferently, "Do you think I would know such low-level things?"

Qiu Tu: .....

Alright, alright! You got away with it again!

.....

Meanwhile, at the 6th Sanctuary, in the border state of Wangbei City, at the city lord's mansion.

The battle has reached a fever pitch.

Qiu Tu made arrangements almost specifically for this purpose.

"Pang Haichen," "Captain," and "Scarface" need no introduction; their strength is almost equal to that of Xiao Huan, Xu Yun, and Du Wenzhong.

Although Tang Feifei had just advanced to the fifth rank, she was able to hold her own against Ji Yuan, who was in the late fifth rank, thanks to her "absolute perception" and the experience and skills taught by Zhao Ji.

The only couple whose situation isn't so good is Yu Die and Princess Xi.
