Chapter 543 Golden Cicada Dharma Form, the First Fortuitous Event Ends

After entering Qigong Peak, Lei Hong and Chu Ji were shocked to find ten thousand cubic meters of Earth God Crystals neatly stacked in the Water Bamboo Forest!
The divine light was dazzling, and the descending beings instinctively felt greed.

Chu Ji, in particular, felt that if he could monopolize these Earth God Crystals, he could leave immediately after this trip, since his demands were not that high.

“As a divine object of the earth veins, the Earth God Crystal can be used as a consumable. It is an extremely powerful tonic. No wonder Venerable Yu Sheng’s aura was not diminished at all after the battle.” Lei Hong looked at the small mountain and his breathing became a little rapid. “If it were me, I would not give in either.”

"Venerable Han, it's all here." Liu Qingci said with some heartache, "Exactly ten thousand cubic meters, no more, no less."

Lei Hong, Chu Ji, Yue Zhen, Yi Kun, Tang You, Quan De, and Ning Si, a total of seven demigods, all focused their attention on Zhao Xing.

Could it be that Venerable Han would really be willing to share with them as promised?

Or is it a trial?
"Venerable Jade Flute, you may take ten percent," Zhao Xing said calmly.

According to the previous contract, Liu Qingci was allowed to take one-tenth of the harvest this time, which was one thousand cubic meters.

After that, you only need to hand over 50% of any profits.

With a "whoosh," Liu Qingci reached out and collected the thousand cubic meters of water bamboo, then withdrew from the bamboo forest.

She didn't leave immediately, but instead watched to see if Zhao Xing and his eight companions would have any disagreements about dividing the spoils.

Lei Hong, Chu Ji, and the others didn't move either, waiting for Zhao Xing to continue.

Zhao Xing first collected 4,500 of them, which increased his karmic burden. However, Zhao Xing acted as if nothing had happened, his eyes scanning the other seven people one by one.

His gaze swept over the three more powerful individuals—Yue Zhen, Yi Kun, and Lei Hong—as well as the three who had been slacking off earlier—Tang You, Quan De, and Ning Si—before finally settling on Chu Ji.

"As I said before, once the job is done, half of it will be distributed according to the work done."

"In this battle, Chu Ji made the greatest contribution; he took two thousand doses."

Everyone was shocked, and they looked at Zhao Xing with disbelief.

Is this a real breakup? Or just a test?
No one dared to voice their opinion, and Chu Ji didn't dare to move either.

Zhao Xing said calmly, "Chu Ji, what are you still standing there for?"

Chu Ji cupped his hands in embarrassment, unconsciously changing his form of address: "Venerable Han, I... I cannot bear so much karmic burden."

Chu Ji's answer surprised Zhao Xing.

But he soon understood why.

Chu Ji had no master or power; he was a true rogue cultivator. He simply bought a ticket to the Opportunity from the Shadow Temple and came to the Desolate Domain 341 Opportunity, boarding a spaceship.

There are also different levels of 'tickets'.

For example, Zhao Xing is protected by the 'Xuanling History Book Rubbing', so after entering, his status is higher, and the rubbing can also take the initiative to share some of the 'evil causes and consequences'.

He took four thousand cubic meters of Earth God Crystals, but his karma value only decreased by 40 points.

The next level of ticket is the 'Causal Token' held by Lei Hong and Xu Huai.

It can also share some of the causal burden, but not as much.

Zhao Xing, Liu Qingci, Lei Hong, Xu Huai, and their ilk, along with the protectors, were watching.

Chu Ji was completely different. His expenses at the Shadow Temple mainly included the time-space travel project, as well as a mid-level [Historical Calligraphy] related to the Cosmic Ship incident.

The mid-tier [Historical Famous Post] has a randomized status, and Chu Ji was lucky to obtain the position of Deputy Mountain Patrol Envoy.

As for its function of sharing the burden of cause and effect, that is very limited.

Take the theft of the Earth God Crystal as an example.

Lei Hong and Liu Qingci took 2000 cubic meters, which increased the causal burden and was reflected in the numerical value as a decrease of 40 points.

If Chu Ji takes 2000 square meters, the price will drop by 100 points!
This could have terrible consequences. For example, as soon as Chu Ji finished taking it, the sleeping Bi Luo Zizai God would immediately wake up, suspect that Chu Ji had stolen the Earth God Crystal, and then immediately arrest, interrogate, and execute him.

In Chu Ji's case, he has to wait for time to process some of the cause and effect, and then take a little bit, like ants carrying food.

"You really can't take it?" Zhao Xing asked again to confirm.

"I really can't carry it."

Chu Ji felt a little ashamed, secretly regretting that he hadn't prepared more thoroughly. With the treasure right in front of him, he couldn't lift it. How could he make progress like this?

And with so many people watching me, I felt like a country bumpkin.

However, Chu Ji never expected to encounter something like this after entering the Spaceship.

Just as Chu Ji felt ashamed, Zhao Xing's voice rang out again.

"In that case, I'll lend you a hand."

Zhao Xing then seized one thousand of them.

At this moment, Zhao Xing's causal burden increased by 10 points. He was originally positive, but now it is approaching a negative value.

"Roar!"

Zhao Xing let out a low roar, and his body suddenly swelled up, enveloped in golden light, as if a cicada was crawling on his back.

Golden Cicada True Form - Double Body, activate!

"Oh!"

A bolt of lightning flashed, and Zhao Xing severed the two bodies.

Then he gently pushed the Earth God Crystal in front of Chu Ji.

"This 1,000 cubic meters won't add to your burden, and you should be able to handle the remaining 1,000 cubic meters yourself."

Chu Ji stared at Zhao Xing, clearly taken aback for a moment.

Liu Qingci, Yi Zhen, Lei Hong, and others had their pupils shrink.

"Golden Cicada True Form, Myriad Bodies, he actually knows this magic?"

"To be able to master such divine techniques is truly remarkable."

“I also have ways to reduce the causal burden, but compared with Han Bing’s methods, they are not even in the same league.”

Zhao Xing's behavior immediately extinguished any wicked thoughts that Yue Zhen, Yi Kun, Lei Hong, Tang You, Quan De, and Ning Si had in mind.

After Chu Ji finished taking his share, Zhao Xing distributed the remaining 2,500 cubic meters of Earth God Crystals.

"Lei Hong, you get six hundred cubic meters of Earth God Crystals."

"Yue Zhen, Yi Kun, each of you take five hundred doses."

"Tang You, Quan De, and Ning Si, you three will each receive three hundred."

As the allocation plan was proposed, a spiritual tablet bearing the image of Yin Zai, located within Liu Qingci's body, emitted a voice.

"Such methods are reminiscent of those of a boundless true god."

"It's impossible for them to fight amongst themselves because they can't divide the spoils equally."

“Lei Hong, Yue Zhen, and Yi Kun all contributed roughly the same amount of effort, but Lei Hong submitted his bid earlier, so he was given an extra hundred cubic meters.”

"Tang You, Quan De, and Ning Si took the least because they held back a lot during the battle just now."

"Han Bing's assignments were all based on his thorough understanding of the situation."

"After this round of allocation, the mountain patrol gods of the As Sea will probably all be under his control."

Liu Qingci nodded in agreement. This Han Bing was tough and capable, with knowledge comparable to a scholar, and he didn't hog the spoils. Luckily, he was on the side of the 'righteous gods'. If he were the evil god of the desolate region, he would definitely be a very troublesome opponent.

"God, if we don't seek opportunities in the As Sea, where should we go?" The contract between Liu Qingci and Zhao Xing was quite equal; she could choose to wait for opportunities here or go elsewhere.

Yin Zai said, "You can stay here for now. This Venerable Han Bing is still orderly and not the kind of evil person who acts without restraint."

"If we change locations, we'll have to change roles, which would waste a [Historical Post] to 'change' the identity of the event. Now is not the time."

……

After the Earth God Crystals were divided up, everyone used their own methods to reduce their karmic burden.

Zhao Xing quietly observed the seven people, trying to discern something from their spellcasting methods, but ultimately found nothing.

"Elder, are there any of our own people among these arrivals?"

"Probably not," Bovi thought to himself. "What, did you find something?"

It's not just a discovery, it's a major discovery!
“Elder, this is what I think: the Mountain Patrol God Division has thirty-five deputy envoys, and including myself as the chief envoy, there are thirty-two Descendants among the thirty-six people.”

"Based on this probability, there are probably many other descendants among the other divine officials as well."

Bovi didn't answer, but instead asked, "I've always been curious, how did you confirm that these people belong to the Adventists?"

“My master…”

“If you don’t want to talk about it, then don’t. There’s no need to use such a lame excuse,” Bovi interrupted impatiently.

Zhao Xing chuckled.

He can't very well say that he has a panel that allows him to distinguish between Descendants and Non-Descendants based on their remaining lifespan.

Bowei didn't take it to heart and slowly analyzed:

"As I said before, you created the Ten Directions Mountain Scripture, but you cannot be influenced by the evil god camp. So after you travel through time and space to become a god, there will inevitably be evil gods who will come to pursue you and interrupt your path to godhood."

"Once they do that, you will naturally develop distrust and insecurity towards the Wasteland faction."

"The purpose of intimidation and threats will be achieved, and you may very well turn to the evil god as a result."

"And guessing the time and place you travel to is not difficult."

"You haven't been a demigod for long, so your contribution ranking can't be too high."

"Of the 356 known eras of the Spirit Realm, there aren't many places where gods were made related to the Minister of Agriculture."

"The evil god camp will probably send many demigods, or even gods, to infiltrate various places to see if they can catch you."

"The Space Ark, being a well-known secret realm, is a key area for defense."

Zhao Xing felt a chill run down his spine; this possibility was indeed quite high.

"You are now using the alias Han Bing, and your identity is very secretive. As long as you don't reveal your identity as Zhao Xing, it will be difficult for them to find you and take action against you."

"For example, your straw doll clone is absolutely unusable."

The Primordial Grass Man Technique was only used by Zhao Xing, Zuo Qiyu, and Liu Tianning in the Wilderness Era.

Zuo Qiyu is not a demigod, and Liu Tianning has not qualified to become a god. The only one who can be used is Zhao Xing.

As long as this point is exposed, we can catch them red-handed.

The same principle applies to the treasures carried with them, such as the Yuanji Mountain and the Divine Needle of the Earth.

"Making money while keeping a low profile is really not easy. I don't know how Lao Qing became a god-level general." Zhao Xing sighed.

His situation was very similar to Qing Yuzi's. Qing Yuzi leaked the timing of the evil god's attack and gave a warning, but was hunted down by the Wushu City forces. He didn't even have a protector yet, but he actually rose from the level of a divine soldier to the level of a divine general.

The chaos in the celestial secrets has reached its peak.

Just then, a new piece of information appeared on Zhao Xing's rubbing of the Xuanling History Book.

"The serendipitous event is about to end."

Upon seeing this message, Zhao Xing understood that the first transformation of the sacred mountain was about to end.

Because the chaos in the heavens has reached its peak, its intensity will weaken next, and the Azure Free God of the Mountain Patrol Gods will probably awaken soon.

"When the time comes and they check, they will find that a lot of Earth God Crystals are missing. They will definitely question us Mountain Envoys. This is a concrete manifestation of the karmic burden."

"We need to speed up."

Zhao Xing informed the seven deputy envoys in front of him, as well as the eight deputy envoys in various parts of the Yas Sea.

Chu Ji felt increasingly awe towards Zhao Xing, because Zhao Xing simply didn't possess such an early warning capability.

I thought the geological changes at Shenshan would continue for some time.

Lei Hong, Yue Zhen, Yi Kun, and others were several months behind Zhao Xing in confirming that the chaos in the heavenly secrets was decreasing.

He also felt a greater sense of fear towards Zhao Xing.

With their strength, high status, and ability to seize the initiative in opportune events, there is no doubt that they have no chance of winning against Zhao Xing.

Three years later, Zhao Xing was no longer active in the deep sea. He returned to the shallow sea and began visiting the caves of the other sixteen deputy envoys before finally returning to his own cave.

In the first solar year, 325, the serendipitous event 'Mountain of Gods' was triggered.

In early 337, the serendipitous event 'Mountain of Divine Transformation' came to an end.

"Be careful, I can't make a sound."

"The mountain patrol deity, Biluo Zizai, has awakened."

Bovi suddenly gave a warning, and then lost his voice.

At the same time, the spirit tablet within Liu Qingci's body and the divine general Yin Zai also disappeared without a trace.

Although Biluo Zizai God was only at the level of a divine weapon, his appearance was still considered a divine event. Protectors like Bowei and Yinzai remained silent to avoid causing unnecessary trouble for their targets.

In early 337, the mountain patrol deity Biluo Zizai God awoke and immediately appeared in the Yas Sea to suppress the upheaval at the sacred mountain.

At this stage, neither the chief envoy nor the deputy envoy dared to continue stealing the Earth God Crystal.

The window of opportunity has closed.

Anyone who dares to continue stealing Earth God Crystals will increase the risk of exposure, and may die or be forced out of the Space Ark incident.

337 years, end.

The first major geological event at Shenshan has ended.

Inside the Xushan Cave, Chu Ji's causal incarnation appeared before Xu Huai.

"Are you saying you want to steal 70% of my Earth God Crystals?" Xu Huai's face darkened. "Hmph, what nonsense are you spouting!"

"It's not about stealing, it's about handing it over to Venerable Han." Chu Ji cupped his hands towards the air. "After handing it over, you will receive his protection. For the next opportunity, you won't need to hand over 70%, just 30% will suffice."

Xu Huai was so angry he laughed. Wasn't this blatant robbery?!
"I need his protection?! How ridiculous! Get out of my cave right now, or don't blame me for being impolite!"

Chu Ji calmly replied, "Please think carefully before you act. If you miss this opportunity, the price will be much higher later."

"roll!"

Chu Ji glanced at Xu Huai with pity before disappearing into the cave.

Xu Huai watched Chu Ji leave and slowly calmed down.

He frowned in thought: "I wonder what kind of background this Han Bing has, that he is able to subdue another descendant."

"This Chu Jidu passed the True Spirit Tribulation sixteen times. Although he can't make it onto the Bai Zhuoji Demigod Ranking, he's still considered a good fighter. Yet he's acting like a lackey."

Xu Huai sensed that things weren't so simple, but it was impossible for him to hand over 70% of his gains without any explanation.

Because he has already paid the price, the Earth God Crystals he is handing over now are all clean goods that do not require any price to pay.

"Hmph, no matter where it comes from, such an idea is simply a pipe dream."

……

Chu Ji returned to his cave dwelling. In the past month, he had visited all the cave dwellings of the Mountain Patrol Gods and all the descendant cave dwellings.

"Chu Ji, you're back. How did things go?" In the underwater cave, Zhao Xing, who was cultivating his second body, opened his eyes.

"Chu Ji is incompetent; none of the sixteen arrivals agreed."

"There were a few people who, although they didn't agree, still gave me one or two Earth God Crystals, treating me like a beggar," Chu Ji said resentfully.

"Hahaha." Zhao Xing laughed loudly, "I'm sorry to have wronged you, Chu Ji."

He had never met any of the sixteen deputy envoys before, and it was impossible for them to just accept that he was suddenly being asked to pay protection money.

"Venerable Han, what should we do next?" Chu Ji asked.

"Wait, go again in six months," Zhao Xing said calmly.

"Yes."

After Chu Ji left the Crystal Palace, Zhao Xing immediately closed his eyes and began to cast a spell.

One by one, golden cicada images appeared behind them and then flew out.

Since Zhao Xing had just ordered Chu Jiwei to coerce the sixteen deputy envoys (descenders), there is now a causal connection.

Thus, the sixteen golden cicadas climbed along the cause-and-effect line and flew towards the sixteen deputy envoys.

Xianrong Palace, the cave dwelling of Venerable Cen Guang.

In the secret chamber, a pile of Earth God Crystals was placed in front of him, and Venerable Cen Guang was performing a secret technique to resolve the burden of karma.

But suddenly——

"Om~"

He felt as if he had been bitten by something, and a golden cicada had appeared in the secret room at some unknown time.

The karmic burden that had been so painstakingly resolved suddenly increased again, causing the value on the karmic order to drop by 10 points.

"What?" Venerable Cen Guang was taken aback. "Who is attacking me?"

hiss hiss hiss hiss hiss~
Venerable Cen Guang immediately retaliated, and the golden cicada was quickly killed. He wanted to pursue and retaliate, but when he looked along the cause and effect, he saw a gigantic golden cicada!

The behemoth was spitting out causal lines, seemingly waiting for his arrival.

"Sigh~"

Venerable Cen Guang saw the figure below the Golden Cicada and couldn't help but gasp. He immediately and decisively withdrew his attack.

"It's Han Bing!"

Venerable Cen Guang felt a lingering fear. "He was actually that strong, and he could even interfere with my process of resolving karmic burdens?"

He recalled that a man named Chu Ji had come to persuade Han Bing before, and his face darkened.

"What should I do? If I don't pay, will I never be able to resolve the karmic burden? How will I trigger any opportunities?"

……

At the same time, other caves also roared in anger.

"Han Bing, don't push your luck!"

……

"The path to enlightenment is clear; let each go their own way. Do you intend to be my enemy?"

……

"I am willing to hand over fifty cubic meters of Earth God Crystals. Venerable Han Bing, could you please be lenient?"

……

Inside Zhao Xing's cave, the Golden Cicada's true form disappeared and was reborn time and time again.

According to the Xuanling History Book, his luck stat is still as high as fifty.

Because the Golden Cicada's true form is a dual-body technique, it was originally a divine-level auxiliary secret technique given to him by Bowei.

It can even eliminate the aftereffects of cultivating the Nine Gods, and of course, it can also eliminate the karmic burden.

Bowei casually mentioned other knowledge as well.

The Golden Cicada's true form and dual body were obtained by Zhao Xing in exchange for a promise.

It is conceivable that this secret technique was also a very precious thing for the scholar-general Bovi.

"Bang bang bang bang bang bang~"

After the first month, Zhao Xing launched a disruptive attack on the sixteen deputy envoys.

Three of the deputy envoys, worn down by Zhao Xing's demands, readily agreed to his request and signed an unequal contract.

The following month, four more deputy envoys decided to give up resistance and pay protection money.

After the third month, the five deputy envoys decided to pay the protection fee.

But four people still held out until the sixth month without giving up.

This included Xu Huai, because all four of them possessed treasures or secret techniques that enabled them to withstand Zhao Xing's interference.

Six months later, Zhao Xing's Golden Cicada stopped attacking because a surge of divine power entered his residence.

"All mountain messengers, come quickly!"

In the Sea of ​​As, on Mount Biluo, a tall and majestic golden figure summoned all the mountain messengers of the Mountain Patrol God.

Upon hearing the order, all the deputy envoys had no choice but to rush to Biluo Mountain.

Xu Huai sat in the flying boat, a deep sorrow etched between his brows.

The event, which lasted for twelve years, yielded considerable results for Xu Huai. Currently, the value on his karma token is -45.

Logically, this should still be a safe value, and no major disasters are likely to occur.

He can then gradually resolve the issue, causing the value to return to zero completely, or even rise to a positive number, in preparation for the next opportune event.

However, this is under ideal conditions.

Six months after returning to his cave, Xu Huai's value not only failed to return to positive, but instead reached negative 48, an increase of three points!

If it exceeds -60, he will trigger a god-level negative event!
If this issue cannot be resolved quickly, let alone seeking opportunities, even survival will be a problem.

"Damn Han Bing, he's gone too far!" Xu Huai slammed the token in his hand.

"If it weren't for him, I would have corrected the values ​​by now in the last six months. This is simply not giving anyone a chance to survive!"

"Now that Biluo Zizai God has summoned us, it's probably to settle accounts. If we don't do a good job, it could trigger a god-level negative event."

There were both fortunate and unfortunate events, but there were also negative ones. It wasn't that Xu Huai was afraid of Bi Luo Zizai Shen.

Bi Luo is just a mid-stage Divine Weapon Realm Free God. If it really comes down to a fight, Xu Huai is even confident that he can kill Bi Luo!
But what if he is killed? His karmic burden will soar to over 100, which will trigger the appearance of General Yue Nan.

Unless he doesn't want to stay here anymore, doing this is just courting death.

Having immense fighting prowess but being unable to solve the problem left Xu Huai feeling extremely frustrated.

He hadn't made enough money yet, and leaving after only one lucky break was a huge loss.

But he was unwilling to bow down to Han Bing. The Tian Shi Sect's Minister of Agriculture had always been ambitious, and Xu Huai, a man of exceptional talent, was no exception.

He was a demigod who had been on the Bai Zhuo Ji Genius Ranking. Although he quickly fell off the list, Xu Huai's Dao heart would never allow him to easily submit to someone of the same level.

“Venerable Han Bing!” Xu Huai contacted Zhao Xing through the causal link they had previously established. “Do you dare to fight me fair and square? If you win, I’ll give you not only 70% of my winnings, but all of mine.”

"If you lose, get out of my way!"

On the other side of the flying boat, Zhao Xing heard Xu Huai's roar and couldn't help but smile.

"The orthodox Tian Shi faction's Minister of Agriculture is so arrogant. They would rather lose 100% in battle than submit and offer up 70% of the Earth God Crystals."

Of course, Master Zhao would not agree to Xu Huai's request.

“Xu Huai, my rules are my rules.”

"If you want to challenge me, I can add a clause to the contract to give you a chance to challenge me afterward."

"But this time, you have to get the seven done first."

"Otherwise, you can expect to trigger negative events!"

Having said that, Zhao Xing ignored Xu Huai's roar.

In 338 AD, at the foot of Biluo Mountain.

In the Yas Sea, the Mountain Patrol God, along with thirty-five deputy envoys and one chief envoy, were all in place.

This group includes Zhao Xing and consists of thirty-two visitors, only four of whom are involved in the event.

"Greetings, Divine Lord Biluo."

Everyone bowed their heads in respect.

Just then, a sudden change occurred—

On Mount Biluo, a mirror appeared, its reflection radiant with divine light, showering down upon everyone.

All those who descended upon it were surprised to find that their negative karma value had increased by 10 points!

"The Mirror of Cause and Effect?"

Zhao Xing felt a chill run down his spine. His chances had also decreased by 10 points, but it was still a positive 30.

He just hadn't expected this to happen.

However, after being photographed like this, the Azure God on the mountaintop suddenly locked his gaze on a white-haired, green-eyed man among the patrolling envoys.

"You dare to embezzle divine crystals? Die!"

Boom~
The immense divine power coalesced into a mountain, which crashed down with a deafening roar.

Before the mountain descended, the wind arrived.

Zhao Xing felt that he and everyone else were being repelled by this wind.

However, the white-haired, green-eyed Venerable Silver Snow was at the very center of the suppression.

The space had been cut open, and the white-haired, green-eyed man could not absorb any spiritual energy, nor could he draw upon any power of heaven and earth.

Heaven and earth are both against him!
Venerable Silver Snow has triggered a god-level negative event!
Everything happened too fast. Yin Xue didn't have time to think about anything else. He could only immediately ask the protectors outside to use the lifeline and causal line to pull him out of the spaceship.

"Han Bing!!"

Before leaving, Venerable Silver Snow roared in Zhao Xing's direction.

His physical body then exploded, scattering a large amount of divine crystals, while only his true spirit was guided away.

After the earth-shattering event ended, Yin Xue had six months to reduce the causal burden.

However, it was precisely because of Han Bing's existence that he made no progress in the past six months, and his negative causal value reached 51 points!
In addition, after being exposed to the Mirror of Cause and Effect, his level immediately exceeded sixty.

Yin Xue's shout seemed to give hope to the three remaining unyielding individuals: Xu Huai, Peng Tian, ​​and Xuan Zhuang.

They all hoped that Zhao Xing would be affected by this, so that they wouldn't have to suffer from this guy's oppression.

Yin Xue's actions did indeed affect Zhao Xing, causing his causality value to drop by three points.

At the same time, the gaze of the God of Freedom, Biluo, also turned towards them.

Before Biluo Zizai God could speak, Zhao Xing admitted his mistake: "Your Majesty, Yin Xue stole the Earth God Crystal. I failed in my duty to investigate."

However, at that moment, someone immediately stood up to Zhao Xing and spoke up for him.

"Your Majesty, before the earth-shattering event occurred, Envoy Han Zheng noticed the unusual activity of the underwater mountain peaks and summoned all the deputy envoys to discuss countermeasures."

"However, only six deputy envoys came; the rest did not obey the summons."

"I can testify."

"My subordinates also testify."

The four deputy envoys for the incident were the first to step forward.

Closely following behind were the arrivals.

Chu Ji still charged ahead first. He knelt down next to Zhao Xing and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, after the earthquake, the chief envoy found me and Deputy Envoy Lei Hong immediately to jointly suppress the anomalies in the underwater mountains and deal with the disaster of the earthquake."

Lei Hong immediately stepped forward: "Afterwards, my subordinates and the chief envoy worked together to carry out the rescue. In the end, a total of fifteen deputy envoys worked with the chief envoy to supervise each other."

“Your Majesty, I can bear witness.”

“Your Majesty, I can bear witness.”

"..."

Xu Huai was dumbfounded.

How come all these people are in cahoots with Han Bing?
Did he foresee this all along?

Zhao Xing stood quietly in place, maintaining his bowed posture.

What does it mean to have great Confucian scholars debating the classics for me?

After this evidence, he discovered that the three points he had lost had been recovered, and in fact, had increased by five points.

Liu Qingci, standing to the side, couldn't help but sigh, "When the demigods below collude, even gods can be deceived."

Xu Huai originally did not intend to step forward, but both he and Venerable Zhuohua had participated in the crisis management meeting convened by Zhao Xing beforehand.

So at this point, we have to hold our noses and step forward.

"This Han Bing has a wealth of experience in participating in the secret realms of historical events."

"He has allied with so many deputy envoys. If he were to implicate others at this time, it would be very difficult for anyone to clear his name."

Of course it can't be cleared up, because it was never innocent in the first place!
The invaders are all here to steal the Earth God Crystals; it's just a matter of whose causal connections are better hidden.

Biluo Zizai God continued to ask, "Han Bing, did you make any other discoveries during this process?"

“Reporting to Your Majesty,” Zhao Xing replied, “I have been unable to contact the three deputy envoys, Ni Feng, Yu Chen, and Yin Xue, from beginning to end.”

Ni Feng, Yu Chen, and Yin Xue—these are the three Arrivals who stubbornly refused to yield.

Originally, Xu Huai was one of them, but before coming, Xu Huai finally signed a contract with Zhao Xing because he wanted to turn the tide through the final battle.

Therefore, it wouldn't matter if the Earth God Crystal was left with Zhao Xing first, as Xu Huai had absolute confidence in his own strength.

Therefore, Zhao Xing only targeted the three people who refused to pay protection money.

Yin Xue had just been defeated, and the remaining two Venerables, Ni Feng and Yu Chen, immediately changed their expressions.

"Absurd! Han Bing, you are the biggest scourge!"

"Your Majesty, don't listen to his one-sided story. Han Bing stole the most Earth God Crystals!"

Venerable Ni Feng attempted to argue his point.

However, Venerable Yu Chen immediately activated the Protector's ability to pull people in while Zhao Xing was speaking.

"咻咻~"

A red line suddenly appeared from the void, enveloping Yu Chen, and disappeared a moment before Bi Luo Zi Zai Shen made his move.

"As expected, he's a spy!" Biluo Zizai God, his large hand as big as a mountain, pressed down suddenly.

"boom!"

The sea surface was crushed, creating a terrifying whirlpool, and Venerable Ni Feng disappeared without a trace.

"It was fished out."

Zhao Xing watched from a distance. Just now, the protectors behind Venerable Ni Feng also took him away.

Both of them kept the Earth God Crystals they were carrying and left the Space Ship.

Their outcome was slightly better than that of Venerable Silver Snow; at least they took the fruits of this opportunity with them.

Venerable Silver Snow gained nothing; his physical body was destroyed, and only his remnant spirit escaped.

"All patrolling envoys shall return to their caves and shall not leave without divine decree!"

This unexpected turn of events led the God of Freedom, Biluo, to issue a decree.

"Yes."

Zhao Xing glanced at the rubbing of the historical record and found that the burden of cause and effect had not increased, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

Only after safely returning to their caves did this upheaval on the sacred mountain truly come to an end.

“Now that I have the treasure in my hands, it truly belongs to me, and I can keep it.” Zhao Xing began to take stock of his spoils.
