Chapter 745: Chapter 431: Shocking the Bell-Ringer for an Entire Year!

“I know… it was my dereliction of duty in guarding,” said the Bell-Ringer softly.

“And now your predicament has arrived ahead of schedule; the God of Anxiety will always be watching you, so you indeed deserve compensation. Whether you need protection, resources, or anything else, feel free to speak up. I will compensate you.”

Su Qi snapped his fingers, “With your promise, I feel much more at ease. Now I’ll state my demands.”

That was quite unreserved.

The Bell-Ringer steadied his breath, mentally prepared that Su Buxian would make huge demands—as he had done before when leaving the Anxious Land.

But there was no choice, as his own side had faltered, and additionally…

It was because his Hong Zhong could detect lies other people told, because it could hear various sounds emanating from a person.

And.

Just now, he had tried listening to Su Buxian’s voice!

That moment!

Towering death energy and countless horrifying screams nearly made him lose his composure!

Su Buxian was now laden with a heavy death aura! It was as if one foot… no, his entire body was in Hell, with only one finger clinging to the outside straw, preventing him from being dragged into Hell!

So.

Whatever Su Qi demanded, he intended to fulfill it as much as possible.

“I want…”

Su Qi paused, then uttered three words: “Backdoor entry.”

The Bell-Ringer looked at Su Qi, slightly stunned.

“Backdoor?”

Su Qi spoke swiftly and clearly:

“You know, I lead The Hustlers Sect, and many people need an opportunity, a stage. Each one of them is excellent under my leadership… they just haven’t had the chance to shine.”

The Bell-Ringer raised an eyebrow.

He hadn’t expected Su Qi to ask for resources or assistance in terms of Strength, nor even to address the crisis he was facing at that very moment.

Unexpectedly, it was for his own power, for his members, seeking to secure opportunities for them.

Did this guy possess some great righteousness that he had not noticed before?

“…I understand…”

The Bell-Ringer slowly began, “Although during my term at the Gods Palace, I severely prohibited any backdoor dealings and even purged a large number of priests who profited from such actions.”

“But now, indeed, I have a major lapse, a flaw has appeared in the power of the Gods Palace, and indeed it is a form of compensation. Acting on behalf of the Gods Palace… I can offer you support…”

It wasn’t easy for him to relent, given that the Bell-Ringer’s prestige was built upon the execution of Order, representing impartiality and justice, the figure all looked up to that exposed deceitful and slippery people.

But at this moment.

His brow suddenly raised, as Su Buxian had a sincere, harmless smile, but something in his heart gave a thump, smelling a bit of something amiss.

“I indeed need… support, but it might not be what you’re thinking right now,” Su Qi said with a smile.

“What do you want…” the Bell-Ringer slowly began. It was indeed a huge demand, but it wasn’t a problem; the Gods Palace was in the process of Recovery, many things from the past, relics, temples, etc., were all reemerging.

Resources were sufficient, even far surpassing current needs, as currently everyone entering here was below the extraordinary. No matter how many resources were available, they would be overwhelming for the sequencers at this level.

Yet, Su Qi did not ask for resources.

Instead, he gently suggested,

“Rather than giving a man a fish, teach him to fish. No amount of resources, equipment, or items, can substitute for allowing them to obtain these things with their own hands.”

“I’ve said before, they need an opportunity headed towards the future, not everything right now.”

The Bell-Ringer’s expression changed slightly, things seeming a bit beyond his expectations. Even now, he couldn’t see exactly what Su Buxian was thinking, but he had a foreboding feeling, making him unavoidably feel a sense of unavoidable anxiety.

He slowly spoke:

“What is this opportunity you speak of.”

He did not continue promising, as he already sensed that Su Buxian’s next words might not be simple.

The next moment.

Su Qi, with a smile, gently opened his mouth:

“According to the actions you just described concerning the Gods Palace, whether it be high sequence extraordinary individuals, Demigods, or even Gods wanting to Descend, someone must bear their strength.”

“So you should have a list.”

Su Qi paused, enunciating every word:

“It’s the list of candidates for the Descent of the power of the Gods Palace.”

The Bell-Ringer’s pupils visibly constricted.

The next moment.

“Help me get in the back door,” Su Qi’s voice gently reached his ears.

“I want their names on that list too.”

“…”

The Bell-Ringer’s eyes involuntarily widened; he had expected Su Buxian to make huge demands!

But he hadn’t expected them to be this ruthless!

Not just seeking a backdoor entry, but the most crucial part!

“Impossible!”

The Bell-Ringer’s voice rasped sternly!

“Absolutely impossible!”

“Other matters might still be negotiable, but this one….”

“Right,” Su Qi had anticipated this but did not seem rushed, still leisurely pouring water, brewing the tea, and handing over the cup.

“However, I think there’s room for negotiation.”

The Bell-Ringer’s face remained stern, simply blocking with the cup, “Sorry, this matter is non-negotiable.”

“Su Buxian, you must understand.”

“This is not just any list, but our defence against the Abyss, deciding the future course, determining the fate of the Present World’s countless Life!! A war where a single misstep could mean total loss!! How could there possibly be any room for backdoor dealings!”
