Let them offer their loyalty!-Chapter 1449 - 623: Princess Xi Returns to the Fold

To be honest, if Qiu Tu had given her complete trust or dedication, she might not have been so deeply moved.

But that behavior of prioritizing himself, yet compensating her in a restrained manner, without letting her suffer a loss, indeed touched someone like her who has lived a life full of hatred and being on the receiving end.

Moreover, judging from the experiences of everyone around Qiu Tu, Qiu Tu never disappointed those who trusted him.

Thus, after contacting Li Feng, she refused Li Feng.

As a result, after refusing Li Feng, the Second Sanctuary surprisingly contacted her. It was this reckless contact from the Second Sanctuary that made her sense something was amiss and guess a few things.

Coupled with the fact that the Second Sanctuary indeed had a generally poor reputation, far inferior to Qiu Tu.

This led to her subsequent contact with Kou Xuan through Yan Chen. The three of them devised a grand plan together, targeting the Second and Third Sanctuary, and marching toward Qiu Tu's feat....

Thinking of this, Princess Xi couldn't help but glance at Qiu Tu. Under the light, Qiu Tu appeared handsome, with an air of authority and nobility.

'Following a man like this doesn't seem so bad?'

'If he truly treats me as he does his other confidants, without letting me down, then why not pledge my loyalty to him?'

'After so many years of daily deceit and betrayal, I'm really a bit tired.....'

「Princess Xi Loyalty +2, now Loyalty 64」

Qiu Tu:?

Looking at the hint in front of him, Qiu Tu, staring at Princess Xi opposite him, slowly had a question mark appear above his head.

Though he couldn't understand why Princess Xi's loyalty inexplicably increased, the increase in loyalty was always a good thing.

Especially when the loyalty was above 60 points, it's not particularly high, but already someone who can be utilized.

So when Princess Xi came back to her senses, Qiu Tu slowly started talking about the next plan.

He said, "No matter what. I am delighted that you three can wholeheartedly join me."

"However... I am still going to the 'Boundless Heart Sea - Core Region' to handle an important matter."

"It might take six to seven months before I come back."

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Princess Xi directly asked, "So will the 'Isolation Mountains' collapse in six to seven months?"

Now that they were already considered allies, and the other party had long deduced the information, Qiu Tu didn't continue to hide it.

He nodded, "More or less."

With a serious expression, he said, "So... you must hold on for these six to seven months."

Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Princess Xi had a few more serious expressions on her face.

She quietly pondered for a little while, then solemnly looked up at Qiu Tu and nodded, "We will try our best."

Hearing this, Qiu Tu gently patted her shoulder and said, "No matter what happens, prioritize your own safety first."

"In my hometown, a great man once said: If land is lost but people remain, both land and people can be regained; but if people are lost, everything is lost."

Those who are emotionally sensitive can most easily perceive changes in the emotions and attitudes of those around them.

Perhaps because the loyalty exceeded 60, Qiu Tu turned Princess Xi from a calculated target and ordinary ally into a confidant who could be nurtured. So Princess Xi keenly sensed Qiu Tu's genuine approach this time.

Thus she was silent for a few seconds, suddenly saying softly, "Can you leave the 'Eastern Flow' rank shard with me?"

Qiu Tu was stunned for a moment. He pondered briefly, then opened the dimensional space, took out the 'Eastern Flow' rank shard he had collected before, and handed it to Princess Xi.

Possibly not expecting Qiu Tu to so easily hand over such a precious item, Princess Xi was even more silent.

In that instant, she suddenly understood why Qiu Tu had gathered so many followers in the Eighth Sanctuary and had such a high reputation.

She accepted the 'Rank Shard,' then looked up with a determined expression at Qiu Tu, "Rest assured. I will definitely hold on until you return."

「Princess Xi Loyalty +1, now Loyalty 65」

Looking at the hint in front of him, then seeing Princess Xi's serious expression, Qiu Tu smiled.

He believed that before the 'Isolation Mountains' collapsed, Princess Xi, Kou Xuan, and others should be able to keep the influence of the other sanctuaries at bay, making the entire 'Northwestern Region' his backyard. And then, he, the 'Northwest King,' would ascend the throne once more!

With this thought, Qiu Tu looked toward the distance. His gaze seemed to penetrate through layers of barriers, landing on the 'Boundless Heart Sea - Core Region.'

What remained was to quickly head to the 'Boundless Heart Sea - Core Region' and participate in the 'Heavenly God Ranking' trial.

Now, with 5 days left until the 'Heavenly God Ranking' trial, it should be enough time to find 'Zhao Ji'.....

...

Meanwhile.

Boundless Heart Sea - Core Region - Mandala Desert.

The sun hung mercilessly high in the sky, like a giant fireball, pouring its light and heat onto this desert sea. There was not a cloud in the sky, allowing the sunlight to beat down unfiltered, making the sand sizzling hot, each grain seemingly a tiny ember, scorching any living creature walking on it.

And in that endless sea of sand, a woman clad in white, like a solitary ice mountain, exuding an unparalleled beauty and coldness, silently walked.

The scorching wind howled across the desert, yet when it approached her, it seemed to encounter an untouchable deity, disappearing without a sound.

She walked for an unknown time, perhaps ten minutes, or maybe an hour.

At last, she arrived at the very center of the Mandala Desert.

With an open hand, Zhao Ji produced a gigantic leg, about the same size as her, exuding an eighth-rank aura.

Then Zhao Ji tossed it into the air.

The next second, the sand sea roiled, and a turtle, as massive as a mountain, surged out of the sand, lifting its huge head to bite at the meat leg in the air.

Sand flew, covering the sky, yet Zhao Ji stood silently, then coolly said, "Information about the 'Heavenly God Trial.'

After consuming the enormous meat leg of the eighth-rank creature, the massive sand turtle gave Zhao Ji a gaze of neither joy nor sadness with its ancient eyes.

In the next moment, its hoarse, buzzing voice sounded in Zhao Ji's ear, "This time, the 'Heavenly God Trial' will be held in the Edge Region. The likelihood is high that it will be in the 'Northwestern Region' or 'Southwestern Region'...

"The content of the trial is unknown. Registration will result in a unified teleportation to the 'Edge Region'.....

'This time's trial at the Edge Region?'

'And possibly in the Northwest or Southwest Regions?'

This result being too surprising, Zhao Ji's brows lightly furrowed, her eyes as cold as an abyssal pool.

She involuntarily turned to look towards the Northwest direction...

Her gaze penetrated through layers of space, seemingly landing on the region she came from, and also on that man.....
