Then let them offer their loyalty!

Although Zhao Ji couldn't decipher the telepathic message either, the two of them quickly analyzed it and guessed that "Shen Ling Shuang" was urging Shen Yu Zhou to leave.

This detail reveals that "Shen Lingshuang" is likely able to see through other people's strength, fears Zhao Ji, and is also timid and cowardly.

Therefore, Qiu Tu devised a "bluffing" empty city strategy centered around the "Shen Lingshuang".

Although Lady Zhao is not here, the "Mark of the Gods" remains.

Therefore, when Shen Lingshuang stood up to demonstrate, Qiu Tu did not hesitate to activate the "Divine Mark" and release Zhao Ji's aura.

Sure enough, "Shen Lingshuang" was startled and disappeared in a flash.

This can be considered as resolving Qiu Tu's first crisis.

Then came the second crisis, "Li Feng".

Compared to Shen Lingshuang, who had truly reached level 7, Qiu Tu found it much easier to deal with Li Feng.

The reason is simple...

Li Feng's 7th rank and "Shen Ling Shuang's" 7th rank are completely different things.

The latter truly reached the 7th rank. However, the former merely gathered the power of 1700 people to forcibly increase his strength, while his rank remained unchanged.

Qiu Tu's "Order Space" is effective against "positions".

Despite Li Feng's overall combat strength reaching the mid-stage of Rank 7, her true form is only Rank 6, which puts her within the effective range of the "Order Space."

Therefore, the first rule of Qiu Tu's "Order Space" is that beings within the "Order Space" cannot launch any attacks.

As for the second rule, it was added by Qiu Tu to make his acting more realistic and to avoid being seen through.

"Any being in the space of order will see Qiu Tu as the strongest person they have ever met."

This is why Li Feng felt as if she were seeing the demeanor of a peak eighth-level expert when she met Qiu Tu.

Because this was something Qiu Tu deliberately adjusted.

After devising solutions to these two crises, Qiu Tu basically determined the style of this negotiation: arrogant, that's what he wanted to do!

After all, only by appearing tough on the surface can one conceal the fact that they are all bark and no bite.

Only then can we hope to deter those few shrewd individuals.

As it turned out, Qiu Tu did indeed fool those shrewd individuals, causing them to begin to doubt his abilities.

Of course... Qiu Tu, who habitually walks a tightrope, definitely had more than just this one plan; he had made thorough preparations.

He had long ago stamped his "ownership seal" on himself, so if the other party failed to intimidate him and really went head-to-head with Qiu Tu, Qiu Tu would not stubbornly resist to the end, but would directly have Ji Yuan summon him over.

After all, a great man once said:

Politics is about making as many friends as possible and as few enemies as possible. Military strategy, on the other hand, is about fighting when you can win and retreating when you can't.

Therefore, Qiu Tu had absolutely no psychological burden regarding escaping.

If all else fails, he can just run to the "Boundless Heart Sea - Core Area" and seek refuge with Zhao Ji to achieve the "Celestial God Rank".

Of course, this backup method is not being used now, and Qiu Tu's first step has been declared a success.

Therefore, he couldn't help but start thinking about the second step of the plan...

As Qiu Tu pondered, he roughly came up with an idea...

However, this plan is missing a crucial piece of the puzzle.

Thinking this, Qiu Tu closed his eyes and pondered where the last piece of the puzzle was.

After thinking for three minutes, Qiu Tu finally slowly opened his eyes. His eyes were full of realization.

A moment later, he opened the "Gold-Obsessed Wallet" and took out a "Soul Shackle Altar"...

On that altar lay a tiny, adorable little girl, a demon god...

.....

Half an hour later, the elite troops guarding the central stronghold of the 7th Sanctuary suddenly received orders to advance towards the central stronghold.

Although I don't understand why, it's a soldier's nature to obey orders.

Therefore, after receiving the order, the elite troops immediately set off towards the central command.

Immediately afterwards, the allied forces of Dongye Prefecture and the royalists also began to make unusual moves.

Following orders, the coalition forces began their advance toward Phoenix Hill, which borders the 6th and 7th shelters.

The deployment of the large army immediately attracted the attention of various forces.

Qiu Tu's departure towards the central hub of the 7th Shelter last night had already sparked much speculation among various factions.

Today, the delegations from the 3rd and 4th shelters arrived together, followed by the 7th shelter beginning to frequently mobilize troops.

Suddenly, the 7th Shelter, which had been at peace for just half a month, was once again filled with the tension of an imminent major battle.

Therefore, spies from all sides quickly relayed intelligence and information back.

Meanwhile, in Li Feng's villa, Shen Yuzhou was visiting with "Zhu Wu," who looked exactly like Shen Ling Shuang.

When they heard that Qiu Tu was frequently mobilizing troops and had even begun to blockade the central hub and the 7th shelter, both of them looked rather grim.

"Outrageous!" Shen Yuzhou's face turned ashen with anger!

He reprimanded her, then looked at Li Feng beside him and said, "Commander Li, I still stand by my previous opinion."

"Qiu Tu has definitely not reached level 7 yet."

"Everything he's doing now is just bluffing."

"The more excited he is now, the more guilty he is."

"So I think we can't give up putting pressure on him. We should keep taking a gamble and see if he's really that strong."

Hearing Shen Yuzhou's words, Li Feng remained silent for a moment before speaking, "You haven't experienced that feeling, so you can't understand."

"That absolutely cannot be described as luck or bluff."

"Therefore, I definitely won't make a move against Qiu Tu anytime soon."

"Of course... even if I don't take action, I can promise you that I will temporarily hold back the document congratulating Qiu Tu on becoming the deputy head of the 7th Shelter."

"You'll have to test him to find out his true intentions."

Hearing Li Feng's words, Shen Yuzhou was a little disappointed, but he couldn't persuade her any further.

So he nodded slightly and said, "Then I thank you in advance, Commander."

Just then, as Shen Yuzhou was saying this, there was a sudden knocking on the door outside.

Li Feng looked towards the door with her phoenix eyes, and then said, "Come in."

The next second, the door opened, revealing the face of a somewhat unfamiliar man.

He stood at the door, first bowing to Li Feng, and then spoke to Shen Yuzhou, "Speaker, I have received some intelligence. I think you may need to take a look."

Clearly, this man is an intelligence agent for Shelter 3.

Upon hearing that person's words, Shen Yuzhou nodded slightly and then waved.

The man strode forward and handed the documents in his hand to Shen Yuzhou.

Shen Yuzhou was initially flipping through the intelligence report in front of him rather casually, but the moment he turned to the next page, his pupils suddenly contracted slightly, and his whole body tensed up abruptly!

Because on the second page, there is a picture of a smiling girl.

The girl looked exactly like her daughter.

However, Shen Yuzhou recognized it at a glance—it was... the real Shen Lingshuang!

At this moment, "Candle Dance," who was standing next to Shen Yuzhou, also caught a glimpse of the photo in the intelligence report out of the corner of her eye.

After a slight pause, a gloating smile appeared on her face.

Then she nudged Shen Yuzhou and teased, "Old Deng, you're plotting..."

Before she could finish speaking, Shen Yuzhou suddenly stood up and interrupted her, "Commander, I've received some urgent intelligence and need to deal with it first."

"See you in the living room later."

After saying that, he didn't even wait for Li Feng's reply before quickly walking out the door.

Carrying "Candle Dance" and the intelligence agent, Shen Yuzhou strode out of the courtyard.

Once outside, Shen Yuzhou finally slowed down.

He held the documents, frowned, and then asked the intelligence officer, "Who provided this intelligence?"

Upon hearing this, the intelligence officer quickly replied, "It's the Kou family."

"Su Wanqing, a branch of the Kou family."

She said you should be very interested in this intelligence.

Upon hearing what the intelligence officer said, Shen Yuzhou's expression turned somewhat grim.

Interested? More than just interested...

This is practically his Achilles' heel and his Achilles' heel.

Thinking this, Shen Yuzhou walked around a few corners without even returning to his own villa. He just randomly found a roadside spot and flipped through the documents in his hand again.

This time, his focus was no longer on Shen Lingshuang.

Did you meet Qiu Tu when you were both still unknown?

'Her name in the file is Shen Ling'er? But in private, Qiu Tu also calls her Shen Lingshuang?'

'Qiu Tu values ​​this girl highly. Last time he heard that the combined forces of the 3rd and 4th shelters were coming, he immediately hid her?'

'Where is he now?'

Looking at these intelligence reports, Shen Yuzhou's face turned ashen. He angrily clenched his hand, and the intelligence reports instantly turned to ashes.

Seeing him like this, "Candle Dance" next to him didn't care about the intelligence personnel beside her at all, and laughed so hard she almost fell over.

She chuckled, "Old Deng, you planned everything, but you still let her get away, didn't you?"

"And they were even taken in by their own enemy."

"Hehehe," Candle Dance said with a laugh, "Now, let's see what you do."

Upon hearing Zhuwu's words, the intelligence officer looked at Zhuwu with a puzzled expression, clearly not understanding what she was talking about.

And then, at that very moment...

A deafening "BOOM!" was heard!

His head was smashed by a punch.

Blood splattered, like the most dazzling fireworks.

Shen Yuzhou withdrew his fist, his eyes bloodshot as he glared at Zhu Wu, and said, "Shut up!"

After saying that, he didn't even glance at the headless corpse again before striding outside.

Seeing him like this, "Candle Dance" shrugged and followed him.

Behind the two, the headless corpse slowly slumped forward. A muffled thud was heard as it fell into a pool of blood...

For the next two hours, Shen Yuzhou tried to have a private conversation with Qiu Tu.

However, whether intentionally or not, Qiu Tu kept ignoring his calls.

If you try to contact Qiu Tu through the normal channels, the final answer will always be: "The elders said that they will not contact you or Commander Li privately before the final negotiations. Sorry."

This delay caused even the usually composed Shen Yuzhou to pace back and forth in the room several times.

Finally, he drank three cups of tea to calm his unease.

And just like that, several more hours passed in the blink of an eye.

At 10 p.m., the time for the trilateral talks and the ultimatum finally arrived.

Shen Yuzhou, who was sitting in the main seat of the living room in the villa, slowly opened his eyes and looked at "Candle Dance" who was munching on a cantaloupe like a little squirrel. "Let's go."

Chapter 602 Forcing the Human Camp to Submit! (Seeking monthly votes in the last three days of the month)

Upon hearing Shen Yuzhou's words, "Candle Dance" didn't even budge her small bottom, and quickly took a few more bites of cantaloupe.
