Bai Xiu was quietly resting and recuperating in the capital.

In these few days, Lu Nanzhi and Gu Shen maintained a mental link.

"The Storm Church has set the date for the transaction—"

"The Holy City has unilaterally postponed the transaction to a week later."

Lu Nanzhi frowned and said, "According to Wang Chong's information, the transaction between Upper City and the Storm Church should be tomorrow."

She didn't quite understand.

Under these circumstances, changing the transaction time... wouldn't that be blatantly trying to trick Zhongzhou?

No.

Actually, Zhongzhou wasn't stupid either.

Both Upper City and the Guwen Association knew that the Storm Church was likely to renege on the deal.

Chun Li stood still, only slightly turning his head to look at the man in front of him, softly saying, "These are just specks of dust in history. Once the Storm Ship sets sail, they will all be left behind, becoming fragments that can never be seen again... The end is coming. Only those who board the Storm Ship can survive."

Saint Chun Li lowered his eyes and said indifferently, "Although Shen Shu's geographical location is relatively safe, it... doesn't matter. The entire Seven Continents are nothing more than fragile paper in the face of this primal storm."

The list had nearly a thousand names. Meng Xizhou sighed softly. Leaving the Frozen Sea... where to go?

This mission gave these people a unified name.

Renault told Meng Xizhou his plan.

The saint she relied on was none other than Chun Li! "Alright, regarding the 'Storm Ship', you will naturally know when we board the ship."

He continued to ask, "If I remember correctly...

...You should have stayed in Xiyin City for a long time. If there's anything you can't bear to part with, there's still time to retrieve it."

Then he could use "Zhou's" eyes to see the transaction between Upper City and the Storm Church.

"You mean this is the Red Dragon's will?" "I have nothing I can't bear to part with."

Saint Chun Li had long known what his subordinate was thinking.

But the Origin was still there, and the combat power was still there, enough to act as a "deterrent"!

"These few days, I'll have to trouble you to make arrangements in the Inner Sea..."

Meng Xizhou said in a deep voice, "The first envoy of the Origin Tower is a top-tier combat force that any organization or power would want to absorb."

The Storm God Seat decided to leave Shen Shu.

She subconsciously thought she had done something wrong and was about to kneel.

Lu Nanzhi suddenly said seriously, "The postponement of the transaction time with the Guwen Association... is not the Holy City's intention."

The Homecoming People.

To withstand the amplification of life brought by the power of the Origin, the recipient must also be strong enough. In other words, it must be at least a top-level Title... According to Wang Chong, who had defected, if the Rhein City mission was successful, he would soon obtain the power of the Origin bestowed by the [Deep Sea].

Zhou asked in confusion.

"It's... just too abrupt..." "The end of the world?"

Nearly ten thousand people would be sent to the Storm Ship.

When the apostles start fighting, the final victory or defeat mainly depends on which God Seat behind them is stronger.

Then for this transaction, Upper City would likely send out an Origin powerhouse.

Saint Chun Li felt great hearing this, and he walked up to Zhou, reaching out his hand to affectionately stroke his most beloved subordinate.

On the other side, Shen Shuqi's idea coincided with Renault's.

However, it was not easy to simply "receive the Origin."

Zhou gathered the large robe around himself. He stood on the highest peak of Yuan Ting Island, looking at the distant sea, and said respectfully, "Lord Chun Li, today's mission has been completed. Those 'Homecoming People' on the list have been properly dispersed and will be sent from the Holy City to Song Ci today."

Zhou said in a deep voice, "This subordinate certainly remembers..."

It was just that this sea sacrifice was a bit too "grand," not only in the number of people.

Because he had never actively performed an "invocation."

But Zhou's figure was very good, and his face was also very delicate.

She gritted her teeth and said, "What if Upper City sends a primal powerhouse of Lie Nanzhou's level and successfully completes the transaction... What should we do?"

At this time, Renault unhesitatingly said the name.

Because of the fusion of the dark relic, Shen Shu possessed the capital to fight against the Origin... Before, he liked the Dark God Seat, because the one in Red Lake was a false God Seat whose body was usurped by the [Deep Sea]. Now that Lu Nanzhi had taken over the new throne, Yingji would probably not refuse if he came forward to persuade her.

(Foreshadowing about Zhou is in Chapter 178 of Volume 8.)

"If the Red Dragon is willing to sacrifice himself to make this request... the Storm God Seat will definitely not let go of this opportunity."

Saint Chun Li noticed the complexity in Zhou's expression and asked with a smile, "What's wrong? Are you reluctant to leave home?"

Fourteen years had passed in a flash.

It was not that the Holy City had lost its mind. The Dark Apostle was absolutely a mad dog.

So from the Holy City's perspective, if they wanted to make this transaction successful... it would be best to move the transaction times of both sides together. Although Zhongzhou and the Guwen Association were willing to try, it did not mean that both sides really wanted to be taken advantage of.

In Zhou's eyes, a flash of golden, blazing fire passed.

When he planted that seed, Renault had already made plans. He did not pull the seed out, but only checked the mental sea of the hypnotic seed host every once in a while. The owner of the Holy Elephant Auction House had not achieved any great success, so the seed slowly became useless.

Zhou's eyes were blank, somewhat unclear.

Seeing Zhou enter the Holy City, Renault thought about how to make good use of the seed.

But... Meng Xizhou did not do so. Saint Chun Li did not notice...

In the Holy City, although you did not have much say, but after all, you were a seventh-level powerhouse, and you always had a place.

In this way, either the Storm Church had already decided to trade with Lower City, and the so-called telling the Guwen Association the transaction time was just a smokescreen to delay the transaction.

He thought of Lie Nanzhou, who had fought Bai Xiu not long ago!

Because you insulted Gu Shen.

Now Lu Nanzhi's power could not support a divine battle, but relying on divine descent to fight an Origin was still enough!

You did not expect that Renault had left behind this contingency plan!

Obviously, even if [Deep Sea] wanted to create a batch of super powerhouses, it would take time.

Meng Xizhou looked worried: "In your opinion, what should we do?"

Saint Chun Li smiled: "Some things, it's time to tell you."

Shen Shu said quietly: "The Red Fire's hypnotic ability is extremely subtle. Although the Storm God Seat's surveillance of its followers is strict, he has never discovered the seed I planted over the years."

Now was not the time for Upper City to show its strength...

...What happened in the Inner Sea, the Bazhou Alliance was all watching closely. Even if there were many Origin powerhouses, the [Deep Sea] would hide them well. After thinking it over, Renault felt that the person chosen for this transaction mission would most likely still be Lie Nanzhou, although the Holy Cross Dean was injured in the previous battles.

Zhou said in a daze, "This news is really shocking."

He said quietly: "The 'Homecoming People' that he is responsible for dispersing are not used for sacrifices... The reason why they are sent to Song Ci is to let us live, not die."

The thought was buried in Zhou's heart, and you dared not ask more.

Meng Xizhou's expression was one of surprise.

But this transaction was of great importance, and both sides would rather be tricked than miss it.

Zhou was stunned.

Zhou knew that Yuan Ting Island held a "sea sacrifice" every year. The Storm Church believed that everything Shen Shu had obtained was a gift from the God Seat and the vast sea...

...The sea gave to itself, and itself must give back in return. So at first you thought that these returning home people were a return for the "sea sacrifice."

Saint Chun Li gave you a list. Today, the wind and waves on Yuan Ting Island were very strong.

Saint Chun Li stood on the top of the mountain.

"You don't need to guard Yuan Ting Island, because it's no longer important. Not to mention Yuan Ting Island, even the Holy City will no longer be important in a few days."

Although wrapped in a thick Storm Church robe.

"What? There's such a thing? Truly a divine touch. "You don't need to guard Yuan Ting Island anymore?"

It was just that at the moment when his fingertips brushed against your skin, your body trembled slightly, and the tremor was very slight.

After the sinking of Sangzhou Cave, Yuan Ting Island became an important place on the coastline of the Ice Sea. The extraordinary people who were sent here to guard it on weekdays were all core members of the church, absolutely trustworthy pillars.

"A super giant primal storm is about to strike the Seven Continents."

"In that case... you will accompany me to Song Ci today. The transaction needs an assistant."

Upper City did not have so many "recipients" who met the conditions!

This was of great importance, and Zhou was not the only executor responsible for the overall planning of the list.

Zhou shook his head and said softly and obediently, "My lord, everything of mine belongs to the church. The place where you and the God Seat are is the final destination. No matter where we go, I will swear to lead the way to the end."

"The transaction time with the Guwen Association is so much later than Upper City's?"

Shen Shu said solemnly, "If the Storm Church really wants to hand people over to Upper City, then we can carry out an ambush in the Inner Sea. To ensure the smooth progress of the transaction, Upper City will send an extremely powerful team, or an extraordinary person with extraordinary strength..."

Your task was to find all the people on the list and disperse them.

Gu Shen would never force you to do things that you did not want to do.

Renault was silent.

In the absence of the Storm, the Origin powerhouses were invincible!

And with the postponement of the transaction time with the Guwen Association, it was likely that the Storm God Seat had already left the Seven Continents at that time!

Four years had passed, and you had not aged. Your white hair and white pupils, and your eyes were particularly dim. Even the baby fat on your baby face had not disappeared.

Gu Shen was also a little confused.

Zhou was like a doll, obeying Saint Chun Li's commands.

"The God Seat has built a super airship that is unmatched in the world, called the 'Storm Ship'."

If Gu Shen went to Song Ci, with his personality, he would definitely not watch the Red Dragon be handed over to others, let alone let the Red Dragon suffer the humiliation of the Storm Church.

He carried his hands on his back and said quietly: "After today, you don't need to guard Yuan Ting Island anymore."

"Very good."

What Saint Chun Li meant was that he wanted to withdraw you?

"Gu Shen is best suited to be responsible for the ambush in the Inner Sea. Regardless of whether the transaction is successful or not, we can lie in ambush in the Inner Sea. Once the ambush is successful, we can at least cut off an important arm of Upper City!"

Renault was stunned.

Since [Deep Sea] possessed the authority to bestow the Origin of Qinglong to outsiders...

As a core member of the Storm Church.

"As you command."

"There is another possibility."

"It's not a divine touch, it's just good luck."

Saint Chun Li's lips curled up slightly, "In the next few days, the God Seat will take those Returning People away from the Ice Sea. Only those lucky ones who have been recognized by the Holy City will have the opportunity to board the ship... No one else knows this news yet."

Zhou could completely do it! So...

What I was worried about now was... Meng Xizhou's words came true, and the Red Dragon really made a similar compromise in order to protect the Guwen Association.

When Renault was only at the eighth level, I went to Shen Shu once.

"Tomorrow's transaction in Lower City, I plan to send someone to 'keep an eye on' it."

After cheating Lower City tomorrow, how could the Guwen Association still come to trade?

Moreover, some of the people on the list were "prominent families."

Pause for a moment.

Once the hypnotic seed was activated.

Zhou had been stationed on Yuan Ting Island these few days, which was not far from the transaction location...

...In Xiyin City, Renault and Xiao schemed against each other, cooperated with each other, and made a big fuss in a grand way

......I planted a hypnotic seed in the mind of the owner of the local Holy Elephant Auction House, and I also planted a hypnotic seed in the mind of a believer named "Zhou" in the New Moon Church.

"Although Gu Shen is a Dark Apostle, in the final analysis, the power of divine descent needs to be borrowed from the God Seat...

...Today's Lu Nanzhi can't support the expenses of a 'divine war'."

"Heh..."

Saint Chun Li sighed and murmured: "Yes, this news also deeply shocked me back then."

Others were more or less off. "Shocked..."

Lu Nanzhi, the highest combat power on the Bazhou Alliance side, was unlikely to go to Song Ci.

Saint Chun Li's fingers were intertwined in Zhou's loose hair.

"Shen Shu."

Meng Xizhou rubbed his eyebrows and said bitterly, "It's just that Song Ci is heavily guarded. In addition to super powerhouses like 'Saint Chun Li' who control the Origin, there is also the Storm God Seat himself sitting there."

To work for the Storm Church, one must learn to "remain silent." It was not a good thing to ask too many questions about some things.

I sighed: "At this time, I can only let it out.

"If it's just 'keeping an eye on' it... there's no need to let Gu Shen go."

So Zhou had always maintained his own consciousness these years. You had absolutely no idea that there was a hypnotic seed in your mental sea... This was also why you were able to enter the Holy City. Even if Renault planted the seed very deeply, once Zhou knew the truth, you would definitely show abnormalities in the mental review of the Holy City, thus being discovered.

Zhou's mind was blank.

Regardless of whether it was from a character or strength perspective, Gu Shen was not a good choice.

Renault shook his head. This was a big project.

"Years ago, I planted two hypnotic seeds in the Ice Sea... Later, these two seeds took root and sprouted, and one of them gradually became a high-level member of the Storm Church."

Gu Shen was the most suitable candidate you could think of.

This trip to the Ice Sea was to find the "Lamp of Wrath" in the Li Clan Ancestral Hall.

The man named Zhou had extraordinary talent in cultivation. He cultivated all the way to the seventh level, rose from the New Moon Church all the way, and finally entered the Holy City.

I said lightly: "Do you still remember the task I gave you some time ago?"

Once this guy flipped the table, it would really be fatal.

If one side was tricked, the other side would most likely stop.

What Gu Shen could do.

"If it really doesn't work, I can only let Yingji go first."

So you were on the list for this escape plan

Sending Gu Shen, what I wanted to do, in fact, was to "see clearly" the transaction in Lower City.

Either...

"Don't worry, you didn't make a mistake."

Renault smiled warmly: "At first, I just casually left a hypnotic seed. Now it has taken root and sprouted, and it has been kept until now to collect the rewards."
