The wind and clouds began to change on their own, and the surrounding air pressure, even the water elements, carried a chill.

Wei Gui grew increasingly apprehensive.

Jun Chenlan's strength has actually improved by another level.

That's terrifying.

Just as he was feeling anxious, a familiar female voice came from inside.

"Do you need help? I can help you out of this predicament."

Wei Gui was stunned for a long time before he realized that the voice belonged to Quan Ji!

He subconsciously looked in the direction of Quan Ji.

As expected, the other person stared at him with a meaningful look in their bright golden eyes, as if waiting for him to make a decision.

He immediately realized that Quan Ji's distressed expression was feigned!

This information struck him like a thunderbolt, completely shattering his already less-than-ideal state of mind.

Despite being suppressed by the Truth Text enhanced by the Pisces Pearl, it can still remain unaffected. What kind of monster is this?!

He also transmitted his voice:

"How do you want to help me? And what do you want in return?!"

Quan Ji transmitted her voice: "Isn't what I want already floating in mid-air? Pisces is my zodiac sign."

Suddenly, Wei Gui's expression turned extremely ugly. He felt both ridiculous and embarrassed as he transmitted his voice: "Quan Ji, aren't you asking for too much? To exchange such a trivial matter for the Pisces Pearl of the Twelve Palaces, you're dreaming!"

"Is that so?" Quan Ji's voice transmission carried a hint of mockery, as if this was a game she was certain to win.

"It's not worth it for Lord Wei Gui to give up his Pisces for such a trivial matter, but... if it's to prevent you from being completely disgraced and expelled from the Evangelist Association, wouldn't that be worth it? Oh right, in exchange for your life."

Wei Gui's expression changed again, his face darkening: "What do you mean by this? Do you think I, a legendary preacher, would be so easily abandoned by the association?"

Quan Ji laughed disdainfully several times, as if she had heard the biggest joke in the world.

"It's not that serious, but it's a bit hard to believe that all of this was caused by some unclear relationship and transactions with students."

"Let me guess, if the Missionaries Association found out that you took in such a scourge because you had a child with her, the consequences wouldn't be pleasant, would they?"

"As for our fate... Didn't my fiancé, the Marshal, clearly tell you? If I suffer any loss, neither you nor He Quwan will survive."

"Compared to your Pisces nature, fate and reputation are naturally more important. After all, someone of your level no longer needs to rely on these external things, right?"

Quan Ji, like a demon who has crawled out of hell and knows human desires perfectly, leads and intimidates Wei Gui step by step.

For a high-ranking preacher to threaten a legendary preacher is unprecedented in the history of the empire!

However, Wei Gui's face turned deathly pale, revealing the whole truth on his face, and he was furious!

He roared telepathically:

"How do you know such things? You're just a bully! Don't think that just because you're unaffected by the Pisces Pearl, no one else can see that you're safe and sound. What can Jun Chenlan do to me?"

Quan Ji chuckled again, pressing on: "Is that so? You think you can see things that my Lan can't? Have you heard the story of the fox borrowing the tiger's power?"

At that moment, Wei Guiquan understood everything, and he turned to look at Jun Chenlan.

Jun Chenlan also looked at him with an extremely cold and somewhat mocking expression.

He understood completely.

These two were in cahoots!

If Wei Gui still can't see it at this point, then he must be a complete idiot with his brain filled with mush.

He gritted his teeth, now caught in a dilemma, completely on the brink of disaster.

Moving forward will definitely be a loss.

To turn back is certain death!

He then transmitted his voice to Quan Ji, his grinding teeth making no attempt to conceal it: "Fine! I can agree to your conditions, but! You must tell me how you intend to use your destiny constellation to ensure my safe escape. Is that too much to ask?"

Quan Ji smiled charmingly, "Of course it's not excessive, swear it."

Wei Gui was bewildered: "What oath?"

Quan Ji: "You, Lord Wei Gui, are one of the strongest people in the entire continent. I am just a delicate and pitiful girl. Naturally, I am afraid that you will take my treasure after you have made a clean getaway. I don't feel safe unless you swear an oath."

grass!!!

Wei Gui almost swore.

Are you some delicate and pitiful little girl?

Go to hell!

I've never seen a delicate little girl dare to snatch food from a tiger's mouth at a time like this. Even a bear would have the guts of a leopard to be so delicate!

Do I have to swear an oath?!

You win!

Wei Gui immediately swore an oath, but the commotion was minimal; the laws of heaven and earth shone in Wei Gui's hand for a moment before disappearing.

Quan Ji curled her lips into a smile and transmitted a confident tone:

"The contract is established."

"It's a pleasure to work with you."

At this point, many contestants had already voluntarily conceded defeat and left the stage, with only a few still persisting.

In particular, some people were so shocked by the word "suppression" that they kept coughing up blood, but they persevered with their own willpower.

Because they know this might be their biggest chance to get out of the country.

Therefore, no matter how much pressure they are under, as long as they can still stand, they will never admit defeat!

He Quwan's focus was always on Quan Ji.

She thoroughly enjoyed Quan Ji's expression of extreme pain and waited for her to vomit blood.
