To be honest, although the Northwestern Region has been plagued by chaos over the years, it has remained relatively stable overall.

This stability primarily refers to the "political structure."

Although there are some parasites within the three major Sanctuaries, in general, they are quite healthy and have continued to expand outward.

As for the Evil Gods in the Northwestern Region, although there are three at the Sixth Rank, they are mostly restrained and do not easily interfere with the wars of ordinary beings.

The Fourth Order and Fifth Order Evil Gods, the Anti-Government Army, and Extreme Sect are not opponents of the Sanctuaries.

Thus, the three major Sanctuaries have always been suppressing the Disaster Zone.

As a result, in recent years, most of the time has been spent in local wars, with the attackers and defenders almost fixed.

Everyone is accustomed to acting within the rules, as this is the safest approach for those in power.

But now, someone suddenly emerged who doesn't abide by the rules and plans to sweep across a vast area!

Four states, 63 cities! Such a large territory, claiming it just like that?!

Thinking she is invincible!

The moment this idea was born... all forces fell silent.

Indeed... Zhao Ji seems to have come very close to being invincible.

To say nothing of the fact that just recently, the long-dormant Sixth Tier Evil God Yaksha arrived in the New State and single-handedly wiped out six Fifth Order Evil Gods.

She reinforced her strength throughout the entire Northwestern Region once again!

The Sixth Tier Evil God hadn't taken action for a long time. Previously, Yaksha was schemed against by Kou Xuan and severely injured, causing many forces to doubt her true combat power.

But after this battle, everyone understood: Yaksha is still the same Yaksha, the peak powerhouse who once stood alone against hundreds of thousands of troops! A Super-level Evil God!

Initially, things were no big deal; Yaksha's strength was known to everyone. It was merely a reminder.

However, who could have known... in just a few days, Yaksha and Beautiful Wind joined forces to battle Qiu Tu and Zhao Ji, and both ended up falling!

At that time, a comet streaked across the skyline of the entire New State, crashing directly into the earth! Darkness enveloped the world! In some places, there was even a blood rain!

Such supernatural phenomena, coupled with the giant God battle witnessed by the civilians at the "Trading Market," soon informed all forces in the Northwestern Region of this battle!

Of course, they also learned the result of the battle: Qiu Tu and Zhao Ji won!

Though nobody knew how Qiu Tu and Zhao Ji managed to achieve this.

However... considering their previous feats of killing Muye and three other Fifth Order Evil Gods.

The combination of Qiu Tu and Zhao Ji had already topped the combat power rankings in the Northwestern Region!

Under such circumstances, Qiu Tu and Zhao Ji are the most powerful duo in the Northwestern Region!

Thus, they are invincible in the Northwestern Region!

They have the confidence to order the Four States' Evil Gods, the Anti-government Armed Forces, and extremist forces to leave the Four States!

After all... if someone truly disobeyed this command, they indeed could cleanse the Four States with blood!

Therefore, faced with such a threat, the entire Northwestern Region fell silent.

The forces no longer considered the future of the Four States. Instead, they pondered... what if Qiu Tu and Zhao Ji send them a letter ordering them to abandon their controlled regions?

The higher-ups of the three major Sanctuaries might fare slightly better. After all, they still had the trump card of nuclear weapons, which could threaten high-ranking Evil Gods.

But the ordinary Evil Gods, Anti-government Armed Forces, and Extreme Religion do not have such a trump card.

For a time, how to deal with the affair involving Zhao Ji and Qiu Tu became the primary concern for all forces in the Disaster Zone....

.....

Meanwhile, after issuing ultimatums to various Evil Gods, Anti-government Armed Forces, and extremist religions.

Qiu Tu and his side were not idle.

Qiu Tu hadn't expected Zhao Ji to be so domineering, daring to send ultimatums to so many forces.

But that's just Zhao Ji!

Furthermore, Qiu Tu believed that, given Zhao Ji's character, if those people did not retreat in three days, she would genuinely wield her sword and clear out all enemies alone!

Thus, Qiu Tu began to arrange positions for his subordinates and plan for future development.

Currently, among Qiu Tu's confidants, there are seven Fourth Order Catastrophe beings.

They are: Rain Butterfly, Tang Feifei, Larilo, Cuiying Dragon Yiyi, Team Captain, Scarface, and the recently joined Muye. This chapter was made possible by the MV_LEMPYR community.

Among them, Rain Butterfly, Tang Feifei, Larilo all have the potential to break through to Fifth Order, or even Sixth Rank.

And Muye, who relates to Qiu Tu's upcoming Fog Hidden Association "substitute" plan, also needs to advance to the Sixth Rank.

This directly consumed 36 zones.

Moreover, adding the zones Qiu Tu and Zhao Ji pried away but haven't restored, this amounts to 54 zones.

Plus the two zones belonging to Scarface and Team Captain, the Four States have only 7 zones remaining.

This indicates Qiu Tu could still nurture seven confidants of Fourth to Fifth Order in direct lineage.

After selecting from his numerous confidants, Qiu Tu ultimately chose: Shen Lingshuang, Guan Xiao, Liu Fuping, Yanyan, Chen Feng, Ah-Tai, Eagle.

You could say they are Qiu Tu's closest, most trusted, and most capable batch of people.

Of course, if any other confidants reach the brink of advancement, Qiu Tu could temporarily assign them yet-to-refined zones, helping them craft a False Frame, enhance their power, and accumulate experience.

They may as well let it go afterward.

And thanks to the "legacy" of Muye and Yaksha, Qiu Tu still holds plenty of "Boundless Divine Crystal."
