Let them offer their loyalty!-Chapter 1511 - 641: Ascending to Seventh Rank Peak! (Monthly Ticket Requested)

However, before she could speak, the bald man waved his hand and said, "Alright, let's settle this matter like this!"

"Let's retreat. Let the younger ones keep watch."

Since the bald man was the leader among the three, Mei La opened her mouth a few times seeing his decision, but ultimately said nothing.

Thus, she glanced one last time at "Central City" amidst the nightfall. She couldn't tell if it was an illusion, but she always felt that "Central City" now looked like a giant beast crouching in the darkness, ready to devour anyone. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Turning back, her honey-colored face was full of solemnity. For a moment, she quickly followed her companion out of "Central City".....

Besides Mei La's faction. On this night, other forces descending on the "Northwestern Region" also began to focus on Qiu Tu and the movements within the "Northwestern Region."

Seeing trucks full of Cataclysmic Material being continuously transported from the three Sanctuaries to "Central City," some were surprised, some were envious, and others were tempted.

For a while, the entire "Northwestern Region" was rife with turbulent undercurrents....

.....

Meanwhile, outside the Disaster Zone of the Eighth Sanctuary.

Heavenly King Zhi Yan was arguing with White Robe and Golden Lion.

Heavenly King Zhi Yan forsook her usual cooperative demeanor, her eyebrows raised coldly, glaring at the two and said, "These are Qiu Tu's terms."

"He has now become the 'Northwest King,' just a step away from the Eighth Rank. Currently, President Tian Qi is still on the way and hasn't officially started trading."

"So, he wants to use this time to enhance his strength."

"I find this reasonable."

"And as our important partner, it's reasonable for him to ask us to handle any minor troubles at such a crucial moment."

"That's why I've come to discuss this with you."

Upon hearing Heavenly King Zhi Yan's words, Golden Lion's round eyes widened, looking at Heavenly King Zhi Yan with disbelief, then said, "Are you confused?"

"President Tian Qi hasn't arrived yet, so... nobody knows how he intends to arrange things."

"If he dislikes Qiu Tu's increasing strength, or if he doesn't want to be exposed in such a time, what then?"

"Acting rashly without his command to help Qiu Tu might get us caught in Qiu Tu's struggles and drag us into a battle with other forces."

"In this scenario, if President Tian Qi doesn't want a war and it ruins his big plans, we'll all be condemned by the 'Fog Hidden Association'!"

Upon hearing Golden Lion's words, Heavenly King Zhi Yan's face subtly shifted. She said, "If so, why not contact the President directly and ask for his opinion?"

"Moreover... if a war disrupts the President's big plans, have you thought that perhaps not waging a war might also disrupt his big plans?"

After pausing here, Heavenly King Zhi Yan spoke again, "The reason I came back to discuss with you is because I've seen Qiu Tu's determination."

"He clearly is prepared to forcibly break through."

"Even if we don't help, he will forcefully upgrade."

"And if by then other forces come, causing his upgrade to fail or even cause his death, preventing us from controlling the entire 'Northwestern Region,' it could truly ruin President Tian Qi's big plans."

Facing Zhi Yan's alarming words, Golden Lion and White Robe exchanged glances.

With a hint from Golden Lion, White Robe lifted his cup of tea with a smile and replied, "Heavenly King Zhi Yan's words are a bit extreme."

"The 'Northwestern Region' is indeed important. However... we cannot indulge Qiu Tu."

He said, "Though Qiu Tu is just a minor Seventh Rank Cataclysmic, even if his 'Cataclysm Path' is somewhat unique, it's challenging to advance to the Eighth Rank."

"After all, refining the 'Boundless Heart Sea Region' and enhancing the 'Energy Level Area' are not simple tasks."

"He believes that with unlimited resources from the 'Northwestern Region,' he can advance quickly, but we've all advanced past the Eighth Rank, knowing how difficult and time-consuming it is."

"So, he dreams in broad daylight, yet wants us to exert effort, which is too unworthy."

Pausing here, White Robe continued, "Moreover, although we can't contact President Tian Qi, we sense him constantly heading towards the 'Northwestern Region.'

"I believe he'll arrive within a week."

"By then, if Qiu Tu is mid-upgrading, can he just stop?"

Pausing again, White Robe set his tea aside on the table, then said,

"Besides, even if we agree, can Qiu Tu fully trust us?"

"We've always had a hostile relationship. When facing weaker enemies, scare them away. Facing stronger enemies, depart immediately."

"If he dies then, he can't even retaliate against us...."

"So, our protection isn't really useful, more like psychological comfort."

"Moreover... if luckily no strong enemies attack him, even if we guard for him, he can't avoid paying a price or expending any chips, right?"

"This virtually offers him no benefits."

"Furthermore, even if he advances to the early Eighth Rank, what's the use? The strength gap between the early Eighth Rank and peak Eighth Rank is vast."

"With his strength, it's still challenging to partake in the 'Heavenly God Trial'...."

Upon hearing White Robe's words, initially, Zhi Yan frowned deeply, but as she continued listening, felt increasingly peculiar.
