Accompanied by the melodious sound of the conch, the originally clear sky in the "Boundless Heart Sea" slowly became gloomy.
The dark clouds slowly condensed, and the sun was hidden within them. A huge hole opened in the sky, and it was filled with deep darkness, as if it led to another dimension.
Inexplicably, the low hum of an ancient behemoth seemed to resound in the air, and along with that low hum, a darkness as thick as asphalt slowly seeped out from the crack.
For a moment, the darkness "dropped" onto the earth! As the liquid dripped, the space began to distort, forming a huge vortex.
The next second, a man wearing a black robe with ancient runes embroidered on it stepped out.
He looks to be in his twenties, with a darker complexion and faint fine lines at the corners of his eyes, adding a bit of vicissitudes to him that are not for his age.
His eyes were sunken, his eyes were shining with a dark light, and the corners of his mouth were slightly drooped, giving people a sense of indifference that was not easy to approach.
When he saw Qiu Tu, he knelt down on one knee and respectfully greeted, "Your Majesty."
Obviously, this is Qiu Tu's first evil god's subordinate: Mu Ye.
Seeing Mu Ye, Qiu Tu raised his hand slightly and said, "Get up."
Muye responded, then straightened up and stood quietly aside.
Ever since Mu Ye voluntarily surrendered to Yaksha some time ago by electrocuting him, Qiu Tu has been "attacking" him.
In the beginning, while he was still weak, Qiu Tu would arrange for the "captain" and "Pang Haichen" to play a "loyalty game-fighting game" with him every night.
Relying on this, you can earn a few points of loyalty every day.
His initial loyalty was 41, and with that week's victory, Qiu Tu successfully raised his loyalty to 56.
Later, when Mu Ye's strength returned to the mid-level fourth level, neither the "Captain" in the late fourth level nor "Pang Haichen" in the peak fourth level were no longer his opponents.
But it doesn't matter, with a loyalty level close to 60 points, the rest will be easy to handle.
The art of controlling one's subordinates is nothing more than applying grace and power at the same time.
On the other hand, Qiu Tu helped Mu Ye adjust the "Boundless Heart Sea Area" he controlled so that he could change from the original "Seven-Star Continent" to the "Nine-Star Continent".
And returned to him all the catastrophic materials, catastrophic treasures, and even the "Infinite Divine Crystal" in his treasure house.
This success gained Mu Ye a big wave of "loyalty".
Of course, Qiu Tu had his own "calculation" in doing this.
The reason is very simple. Qiu Tu specially asked La Riluo and Zhao Ji to help him check Mu Ye's treasure house.
Zhao Ji's evaluation was a cold word: a pile of rubbish.
La Riluo helped Qiu Tu make a good appraisal and determined that the most valuable ones in the treasure house were the "Infinite Divine Crystals".
But here comes the problem. Mu Ye has fallen. If he wants to quickly regain his strength, he must provide the "Infinite Divine Crystal".
According to La Riluo's estimation, the "Infinite Divine Crystal" in Mu Ye's treasure house can at most support Mu Ye's recovery.
Therefore, if you want to get immediate combat power, this pile of "Infinite Divine Crystals" is destined to be spent.
Since they all cost money, Qiu Tu snatched Mu Ye's "Infinite Divine Crystal" and gave it to Mu Ye to let him recover. It would be better to return the "Infinite Divine Crystal" to Mu Ye and let him recover on his own.
In this way, Qiu Tu not only won over a wave of people's hearts, but he also didn't have to "owe" Muye Treasure House.
As for those catastrophic materials and catastrophic Noble Phantasms, they are just some extras.
Not only is its value far less than the "Infinite Divine Crystal", but even if Qiu Tu needs it in the future, as Mu Ye's master, can't he just speak directly?
As for "power", Qiu Tu also did a lot.
The most common thing is to discuss things.
Ever since Qiu Tu was promoted to the fifth level, Mu Ye, who had fallen once, could not be Qiu Tu's opponent.
Qiu Tu deliberately "seduce" Mu Ye without being a human being.
When he was currently at the third level of Mu Ye, he was sparring with Mu Ye and had a back-and-forth fight with Mu Ye.
Then when Mu Ye was at level 4, he competed with Mu Ye and defeated Mu Ye within 20 moves.
Then when Mu Ye is at the fifth level, he defeats Mu Ye within 5 moves.
Finally, when Mu Ye is at the peak of level 5, just activate "Order Space" to kill Mu Ye instantly.
In front of Qiu Tu, Mu Ye, like La Riluo back then, had almost no power to fight back. She could only let Qiu Tu manipulate her.
You know, it was Zhao Ji who killed Mu Ye instantly with one move.
At that time, Qiu Tu was beside me making soy sauce during the whole process.
Therefore, although Mu Ye surrendered to Qiu Tu before, he still had a lot of dissatisfaction in his heart.
I feel that Qiu Tu was able to defeat him only because he hugged Sister Zhao Ji's lap.
As a result, after these several discussions, Qiu Tu made him understand: even without Sister Zhao Ji, Qiu Tu could still easily kill him.
You know, although Mu Ye is not the strongest among the fifth-level peak evil gods, he is definitely above average.
He didn't even have the slightest ability to fight back in Qiu Tu. This simply refreshed Mu Ye's understanding.
To be honest, after the unbelieving people competed twice more and were still killed instantly, Qiu Tu became the number one person under level 6 in Mu Ye's heart!
This also caused his loyalty to skyrocket again.
Therefore, after this period of "both kindness and power", Mu Ye's loyalty has reached 78 points.
Although he didn't become a die-hard loyalist, he was definitely considered a confidant.
This is why Qiu Tu felt relieved to let Mu Ye contact the senior officials of the "Mist Hidden Society".
Thinking like this, Qiu Tu also came back to his senses. He looked at Mu Ye, then raised the conch on his hand with a smile, and said, "The effect of this Noble Phantasm is really good. It's just that the momentum is inevitably a bit louder."
"Advent Conch" is a relatively rare catastrophic treasure. It looks like a palm-sized conch. But its entire body is translucent ocean blue.
The interior of the conch shines like a star, and is engraved with finely carved world coordinates.
Just blow the conch to summon the marked person.
What's even more amazing is that this conch will automatically collect and store the power of disaster when not in use.
Therefore, when summoned, the conch can pay the "summoning price" on your behalf.
If you don't cross the world barrier, or the summoned person is not particularly strong, then you don't have to pay any price.
This Noble Phantasm is usually used when evil gods invade. Therefore, when making it, the momentum of its arrival was deliberately made larger.
Only then did the scene that looked like the end of the world just happened.
After hearing Qiu Tu's words, Mu Ye squeezed out a smile and said, "How can there be a perfect catastrophic treasure in this world?"
"If the Lord is not satisfied, you can ask Secretary Shen to change it."
After hearing Mu Ye's words, Qiu Tu waved his hand, "It doesn't have to be so troublesome."
After saying that, Qiu Tu put away the conch in his hand, and then asked, "Is there any new news coming from the "core area"?"
Hearing this, Mu Ye shook her head, and then said, "Not yet."
He pondered for a moment and analyzed, "I guess the Kirigakure Club is also having a headache."
"After all, the rules of "Boundless Heart Sea - Core Area" are above level 6, you can only enter but not exit."
"And if you send a fifth-level peak person to the northwest region to advance, it will have no effect."
"After all, with the Lord and His Highness Zhao Ji in charge, the Sixth Order cannot make trouble at all."
"And even if the seventh level comes down in a short time, the cost will be too high."
"So, there is a high probability that they can't think of a good solution."
Hearing Mu Ye's words, Qiu Tu nodded slightly and agreed, "That's true."
"So, this is our opportunity." Having said this, Qiu Tu couldn't help but reveal a smile on his face, and he said, "Tomorrow, you can contact the "core area" again and ask them to send some supplies."
"Just say you found a solution to the crisis in the Northwest - the Civil War in Sanctuary 6."
"It's not that only sixth-level catastrophic creatures can kill sixth-level catastrophic creatures."
"Nuclear bombs. Same thing."
After hearing Qiu Tu's words, Mu Ye's old pupils shrank slightly, and he probably guessed some of Qiu Tu's plans.
He said tentatively, "Sir, what supplies do I ask for?"
Hearing this, Qiu Tu smiled and waved to him, and then said, "Come, I'll tell you quietly."
at the same time.
Shelter 6, core area, Kou family, study room.
Kou Yu, who had just returned from the 8th shelter, was kneeling on the ground with his head lowered.
And his brother, Kou Xuan, who is also the head of the Kou family, is standing in front of the desk, holding a brush in his hand and drawing with his brushes.
After finishing writing a word, Kou Xuan turned his wrist outward, holding the brush, and then said calmly to his brother who was kneeling on the ground, "Get up."
"Yes, brother." After hearing Kou Xuan's words, Kou Yu stood up with a naive look on his face.
He was extremely arrogant and domineering in front of Kou Xuan, but he was like a child in front of Kou Xuan, with a face full of flattery.
It is clear that his strength has reached the top of several major shelters in the northwest region, but he does not have the magnanimity and airs of a fifth-level cataclysm at all.
After giving Kou Xuan a flattering look, Kou Yu said, "Brother, you really don't blame me."
"After leaving Dongye Prefecture, I also wanted to take action. However, the opportunities were indeed not good."
"Besides, I'm also worried that if I kill so many people rashly, I won't be able to cover it up, and problems will arise again."
Kou Xuan didn't even raise his eyes to look at his younger brother. He kept holding the brush and admiring the calligraphy and painting in front of him.
He lowered his head and added a few more strokes, and said, "Yes, you are afraid that something will go wrong, so you don't dare to do anything."
"In the end, Princess Xi was let go."
"Now that all my plans have been disrupted, I can only make hasty arrangements. Hasn't the problem become even bigger?"
Hearing his brother's words, Kou Yu opened his mouth in embarrassment and wanted to explain a few words, but found that he was a little short of words, so he could only shut up in the end.
Kou Xuan is obviously not a person who likes to complain.
After briefly criticizing his brother, he got down to the topic.
He looked at the paintings on the table with deep eyes, and then said without raising his head, "Princess Xi lifted the table this time, she obviously has something to rely on in her heart."
"Rao Shou and Tang Wanfeng, two old foxes, have nothing to pursue except their posthumous reputation. It is impossible to get involved in such an incident that may affect their historical evaluation."
"As for the "revolutionaries", "liberal democracy faction" and "local armed alliance", it's not that I look down on them, they are not even qualified to play chess."
"So, Princess Xi can only rely on Qiu Tu."
"During this period, I have studied Qiu Tu in detail." Speaking of this, Kou Xuan paused and said with emotion, "This person is not simple."
He raised his head for the first time and gave his brother a serious look, "This man is good at calculations, good at reading people's hearts, and can also play tricks. He is very dangerous."
"What's even more troublesome is that his strength is also unfathomable."
"Before, he and Zhao Ji killed the sixth-level evil god."
"Furthermore, I suspect that in addition to his apparent power, he may also have other powers secretly."
Having said this, Kou Xuan put down his brush, then walked to the floor-to-ceiling window with his hands behind his back, and slowly said, "So, I have three strategies: upper, middle and lower."
"The next step is to open the "Royal Treasure House" locked by Princess Xi, find the "Mountain Root" left by King Kang from inside, and then you can advance to level 6."
"In this way, as long as there are super masters holding the battle, even if we lose this battle, we will most likely be able to escape unscathed."
"Although I may lose my glory and wealth, I will still be able to have enough food and clothing for the rest of my life."
As a thousand-year-old family, the Kou family still has its own pride. So after hearing Kou Xuan's words, Kou Yu's first reaction was to frown.
He thought for a moment and then asked, "What about the middle strategy?"
Kou Xuan turned around, looked at him calmly, and then said, "The middle strategy is to contact other shelters, such as the 3rd shelter. Give up some of the benefits and let them send experts to take charge."
"It doesn't need to be too high. An ordinary level 6 is enough."
"The purpose is simple, to give them a reason to intervene in Sanctuary 6."
"Once Qiu Tu takes action against these masters, they can rush to his aid at any time, or give Qiu Tu a shock."
After hearing his brother's words, Kou Yu thought for a while and thought it was a good idea.
After all, the 6th Sanctuary was originally established with the support of the 3rd Sanctuary.
The relationship between the two shelters has always been very close. All forces are also closely connected.
The overall strength of the 3rd Sanctuary is far stronger than that of the 6th Sanctuary, almost completely unifying the entire southwest region, with only a small number of rebels and evil spirits struggling to support themselves on the fringes.
Therefore, if we can get their support, I believe we can still deter Qiu Tu.
As for letting other shelters interfere in the internal affairs of the 6th shelter?
Didn’t Princess Xi also let Qiu Tu intervene?
Just each other.
Thinking of this, Kou Yu couldn't help but comment, "This strategy is not bad."
After speaking, he paused and asked again, "Then what is the best solution?"
Hearing his brother's words, Kou Xuan looked at him deeply, and then faintly uttered a few words.
Kou Yu was stunned for a moment, then stood up with a shocked look on his face and said, "Is this the best idea?"
Kou Xuan smiled and nodded, then slowly explained to him.
Kou Yu frowned at first, but gradually relaxed.
Just like that, after hearing what he said, Kou Yu couldn't help but comment, "Brother, this is too bold."
Kou Xuan just smiled and said nothing
The next two days.
With the help of the dark soldiers, Princess Xi's side obviously gradually regained its disadvantage, and even began to gain the upper hand.
After all, the dark soldiers themselves are very strong, and they don't need to eat, drink, or poop.
Coupled with their "racial talent", they can walk in the shadows. They are simply born intelligence agents and assassins.
In comparison, Cataclysm is far behind.
So for a time, the intelligence system of the Kou family was retreating steadily, and some middle-level officials began to suffer assassinations repeatedly.
For a time, the middle management of the Kou family also suffered heavy losses.
Such changes caused the Kou family to shift from expansion to contraction, and began to team up high-level catastrophists with low-level catastrophes to perform tasks together.
This somewhat curbed the collapse of the intelligence system.
Just when the situation in Shelter 6 reached a balance again, Qiu Tu was sitting in his office, looking at the woman across the desk, and said with a half-smile, "What did you say?"
"You mean Kou Xuan wants me to support them in winning control of Sanctuary 6?"
"The conditions promised are a dozen beautiful alien beauties born from the cataclysm, a dozen boxes of cataclysm materials, "mountain roots", and the second location of the shelter?"
