Zhao Limin stood on the city wall and sighed.

The city of Zhenjiang was successfully defended, and with the help of the believers, most of the scourges that fled in other directions were also eliminated.

Looking at the giant ice sword reflecting the sunlight in the distance, it seemed to separate the world and firmly seal the gap.

The other peaks were completely stained red, as if blood was flowing down from the mountaintops like a mudslide, turning the earth red.

That was caused by Yu Rui after she put on the living weaponry. Wherever she went, countless strange beasts turned into fireworks and exploded directly from the inside.

Without any obstruction, he almost single-handedly killed all the strange beasts in the Kunlun Mountains.

However, the large-scale cleanup also meant that the forces were not concentrated. All the monsters of the Calamity level and below were killed, but several monsters of the Natural Calamity level escaped.

Some powerful calamity species also left, including some extreme calamity species, and even two dragon beasts!

But Zhao Liming knew that this achievement had exceeded his expectations!

The beasts left from all directions, and given their formidable strength, it would be a miracle if humans alone could stop even 10%.

Not to mention that 80% of the mythical beasts are now left in the Kunlun Mountains.

But Zhao Limin couldn't believe how terrifyingly fast the escaped beasts would grow once they entered the wilderness.

Unlike humans who have limitations, mythical beasts only need to become stronger through battles.

The chances of the beasts, which had already been selected by the believers, dying in battle after going out were extremely slim.

Given time, these alien beasts can all develop into catastrophe-level alien beasts in the wilderness!

The possibility of Nine Cities being attacked by natural disasters and alien beasts will become greater at that time.

"Is there still no news from Qin Sheng?" Zhao Limin asked.

Zhuge Ling, standing to the side, yawned and shook her head: "We don't know what the sect leader has gone to do; he hasn't contacted us at all."

Zhao Limin narrowed his eyes: "In that case, everyone, please go back first. On behalf of Zhenjiang City, I am very grateful for your help and will send you a small gift soon."

"Don't tell me."

Zhuge Ling shrugged: "With the sect leader gone, the vice sect leader must be in charge. Sister Yu Rui hasn't given any orders, so how dare we leave?"

Zhao Limin fell silent for a moment, somewhat helpless.

"Um?"

Zhuge Ling gazed into the distance, and Yu Rui's figure appeared above the city gate, waiting respectfully.

"It seems the cult leader has returned."

Zhuge Ling breathed a sigh of relief; this mission could finally be over!

"grown ups."

Qin Sheng nodded in response and introduced to Yu Rui, "Cheng Ao is a new race I discovered in the Kunlun Mountains."

"A new race?"

For once, a strange look flashed in Yu Rui's eyes, but then she remembered it was Qin Sheng, so it was normal.

"Let's go. Explaining to them one by one is a bit troublesome. Let's go and have a chat with Lord Zhao."

"Hello."

Cheng Ao followed and cautiously greeted Yu Rui: "Are you also royalty?"

"royal?"

Before Cheng Ao could answer her question, he was once again shocked by the scenery inside Zhenjiang City.

This scene was no less impressive than seeing an ant nest watered with mercury for the first time. Cheng Ao never imagined that a mere dwelling could be built so intricately and yet remain so well-organized.

“His clan has been isolated for quite some time,” Qin Sheng explained. “As for the royal family, our human origins are quite significant; we’ll discuss that later.”

Soon, several virtual projections appeared in the conference room of Zhenjiang City, including the new city lord of Flying Eagle City.

"One more is needed."

Qin Sheng glanced around and said quietly, "Withering and flourishing."

As the golden light converged, Ku Rong's figure appeared in the conference room.

Upon seeing this scene, Cheng Ao, who had just been carefully examining the table and screen, almost subconsciously stood up and looked at Kurong with awe.

"Lord God?"

Ku Rong paused for a moment, then stroked his chin thoughtfully: "I'm already that handsome."

Qin Sheng gave him a playful look: "Laugh, laugh a little longer while you can."

Ku Rong: "?"

Qin Sheng then explained the Chengtian Clan and the Origin Qi to the people present.

When a royal gem was taken out, a glint of greed flashed in everyone's eyes, an instinctive desire to absorb it.

But they were all pressed down instantly.

"Judging from your reactions just now, I know I wasn't lying."

Qin Sheng gestured to Cheng Ao, who nodded in agreement: "Dear descendants of the royal family, the Imperial Gemstone originally belonged to humankind. Our Chengtian clan has only been holding it for many years. Now we can return it in full. We only hope that you can provide a safe haven for our Chengtian clan."

Qin Sheng's lips twitched. He wanted Cheng Ao to do the certification, but this silly kid had already revealed everything before the negotiations even started.

The people present fell silent, partly because of Cheng Ao's straightforwardness, and partly because they were laughing at Qin Sheng's earlier words.

"Royalty, primordial energy..."

Ku Rong murmured, his expression turning serious: "Qin Sheng, where did you get this information from?"

"Where are you?"

Qin Sheng smiled knowingly, his gaze towards Ku Rong filled with mockery.

“The fortune of another you, named Tai, was born a little earlier than you. Unfortunately, he sensed that you were a twin and was afraid that you would take his property, so he ran away with the money. Now I have discovered him.”

“Another me…”

Ku Rong remained silent for a moment, while the people of Flying Eagle City couldn't wait to speak.

"Then what are we waiting for! The primordial energy belongs to all of humanity! I suggest we begin mining it now!"

"no!"

The new city lord of Hualong City directly refused.

"I say, didn't Cao Guangxing step down?" Qin Sheng looked at the unfamiliar faces in Hualong City with amusement, but it was Cao Guangxing who raised objections at this moment.

Seeing that he had been exposed, Cao Guangxing, who was far away in Hualong City, also sat down in a chair.

"I disagree, Qin Sheng. What tricks are you trying to pull now? Do you intend to control all of humanity?"

Qin Sheng rolled his eyes: "Don't think of me as so bad."

"Heh, Ren Lao is still not out of Qinglong's clutches. Who do you think is to blame for this?" Cao Guangxing sneered.

"Sigh, can't people trust each other a little more?"

Slightly saddened, Qin Sheng placed a nearly orange-colored spatial bracelet on the table.

"This contains two tons of Imperial Gems. If you don't believe me, you can take it back and test it yourselves to see if what I said is true."

Qin Sheng shrugged: "If you don't believe me, then you can always figure it out yourselves, right?"

Cao Guangxing looked at the spatial bracelet on the table, but did not rush to a conclusion. Instead, he turned his gaze to Cheng Ao.

"The Chengtian Clan..."

Cao Guangxing asked, "How many Venerable Ones are there in your clan?"

"The two of you."

Is that so?

Cao Guangxing squinted and pondered: Could the two Venerables of the Chengtian Clan, along with Elder Ren who had absorbed the Origin Qi and the other Venerables, defeat Qin Sheng?
