Chapter 535

After Lei Hong and Chu Ji entered Qigong Peak, they were shocked to find ten thousand cubic units of Earth God Crystals neatly stacked in the water bamboo forest!

The divine light was brilliant, and the arrivals who followed instinctively felt a sense of greed.

Especially Chu Ji; he felt that if he could monopolize these Earth God Crystals, he could leave this trip right now, as his requirements were not that high after all.

"As a divine object of the earth veins, Earth God Crystals can be used as consumables and are super-strong supplements. No wonder Venerable Yusheng's aura didn't diminish at all after a fight." Lei Hong looked at the small mountain pile, his breathing quickening. "If it were me, I wouldn't be willing to give them up either."

"Venerable Han, it is all here." Liu Qingci felt a bit of heartache. "Not a bit more, not a bit less, exactly ten thousand cubic units."

Lei Hong, Chu Ji, Yue Zhen, Yi Kun, Dang You, Quan De, and Ning Si—a total of seven demigods—all fixed their eyes on Zhao Xing.

Would Venerable Han really be willing to divide them as promised?

Or was this just a test?

"Venerable Yusheng, you may take ten percent," Zhao Xing said indifferently.

According to the previous contract, this time's harvest allowed Liu Qingci to take ten percent, which was one thousand cubic units.

For any future harvests, she would only need to hand over fifty percent.

"Clatter." Liu Qingci reached out and collected one thousand cubic units, then retreated from the water bamboo forest.

She did not leave immediately, but watched to see if there would be any uneven distribution among the eight of them.

Lei Hong, Chu Ji, and the others did not move either, waiting for Zhao Xing's next words.

Zhao Xing first collected four thousand five hundred cubic units, which increased his causal burden, but Zhao Xing acted as if nothing had happened, his eyes scanning the other seven people one by one.

His gaze swept over the relatively powerful Yue Zhen, Yi Kun, and Lei Hong, as well as the previously slacking Dang You, Quan De, and Ning Si, finally landing on Chu Ji.

"I said before that after the matter was settled, half would be taken out and distributed according to labor."

"In this battle, Chu Ji contributed the most, so he gets two thousand cubic units."

Everyone was shocked, looking at Zhao Xing with disbelief.

He was really dividing it? It wasn't a test?

No one dared to express an opinion, and Chu Ji did not dare to move.

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

Chu Ji cupped his hands in embarrassment, his form of address changing unconsciously: "Venerable Han, I... I cannot bear such a heavy causal burden."

Chu Ji's answer left Zhao Xing somewhat stunned.

But he quickly understood why.

Chu Ji had no sect and no faction; he was a proper rogue cultivator who had simply bought an opportunity ticket from the Shadow Sanctuary to come to the Desolate Domain 341st era and board the Boat of the Universe.

There are levels to "tickets" as well.

For example, Zhao Xing was protected by a "Profound Spirit Historical Record Facsimile," so his status was higher upon entry, and the facsimile could actively share some of the "evil causes and evil results."

When he took four thousand cubic units of Earth God Crystals, his causal value only dropped by 40 points.

A slightly inferior ticket would be the "Causal Order" held by Lei Hong and Xu Huai.

It could also share some causal burden, but it was not as powerful.

Zhao Xing, Liu Qingci, Lei Hong, and the likes of Xu Huai even had protectors watching over them.

Chu Ji was completely different; his expenditure at the Shadow Sanctuary mainly covered the time-space travel project and included a mid-level 【Historical Name Post】 related to the Boat of the Universe event.

The status granted by a mid-level 【Historical Name Post】 was random; he was able to obtain the position of Deputy Mountain Patrol Envoy because Chu Ji was lucky. As for the function of sharing causal burden, it was very low.

Taking the theft of Earth God Crystals as an example.

When Lei Hong and Liu Qingci took 2000 cubic units, the increase in causal burden manifested as a drop of 40 points.

When Chu Ji took 2000 cubic units, it would drop by 100 points!

This would cause terrible consequences; for instance, as soon as Chu Ji finished taking them, the sleeping Biluo Free God would immediately wake up, suspect that Chu Ji had stolen the Earth God Crystals, and then immediately arrest him for interrogation and execution.

In Chu Ji's situation, he had to bide his time, digest a bit of karma, and then take a little bit, like an ant moving house.

"You really can't take it?" Zhao Xing confirmed.

"I really can't."

Chu Ji felt ashamed, secretly hating himself for not being better prepared. With treasures placed right in front of him, he couldn't take them—how could he progress?

Moreover, with so many people watching him, he felt like a country bumpkin.

But Chu Ji had never thought that he would encounter such a thing after entering the Boat of the Universe!

Just as Chu Ji was feeling ashamed, Zhao Xing's voice sounded again.

"In that case, I will help you."

Zhao Xing wrapped up one thousand cubic units.

At this moment, Zhao Xing's causal burden increased by another 10 points; he had originally been at a positive value, but now he was approaching a negative one.

"Roar."

Zhao Xing let out a low roar, his body suddenly expanding, shrouded in golden light, as if a cicada were clinging to his back.

Golden Cicada True Form: Dual Body, activated!

"Bang!"

A bolt of thunder flashed, and Zhao Xing severed the dual body.

He then gently pushed the Earth God Crystals toward Chu Ji.

"This one thousand cubic units will not increase your burden; you should be able to bear the remaining one thousand cubic units yourself."

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

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

"Golden Cicada True Form, Ten Thousand Body? He actually knows this spell?"

"To be able to master such a divine art, he is remarkable."

"I also have ways to reduce causal burden, but compared to Han Bing's methods, it's not even in the same league."

With Zhao Xing showing such performance, the crooked thoughts in the minds of Yue Zhen, Yi Kun, Lei Hong, Dang You, Quan De, and Ning Si were instantly extinguished.

After Chu Ji finished taking his share, Zhao Xing distributed the remaining two thousand five hundred cubic units of Earth God Crystals.

"Lei Hong, you get six hundred cubic units."

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

"Dang You, Quan De, Ning Si, you three each get three hundred."

After the distribution plan was proposed, a spiritual tablet inside Liu Qingci, imprinted with the image of Yin Zai, made a sound.

"Such methods have quite the style of the Boundless True God."

"It is impossible to wait for them to have an uneven distribution and fall into internal strife."

"Lei Hong, Yue Zhen, and Yi Kun contributed roughly the same, but Lei Hong voted early, so let him take one hundred more."

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

"Han Bing's distribution is all based on the premise that he has a thorough grasp of the situation."

"After this wave of distribution, the Mountain Patrol Divine Office of the Yas Sea will likely be under his control."

Liu Qingci also nodded. This Han Bing could take a hit and dish one out, his knowledge was comparable to a scholar's, and he didn't hog everything for himself. Fortunately, he was on the "Righteous God" side; if he were a Desolate Domain evil god, he would definitely be a very troublesome opponent.

"Divine Venerable, if we are not seeking opportunities in the Yas Sea, where should we go?" The contract Liu Qingci signed with Zhao Xing was quite equal; she could choose to wait for opportunities here or go elsewhere.

Divine General Yin Zai said: "You can stay here for now. This Venerable Han Bing still has order and is not the kind of evil person who has no scruples."

"If we change places, we have to change duties, which would waste a 【Historical Name Post】 to 'change' the event identity; now is not the time."

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

Zhao Xing watched these seven people quietly, trying to identify something from their spell-casting methods, but ultimately gained nothing.

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

"There shouldn't be," Bowei pondered. "Why, did you discover something?"

It was more than a discovery; it was a huge discovery!

"Elder, I am thinking that among the thirty-five deputy envoys of the Mountain Patrol Divine Office, including myself as the main envoy, thirty-two of the thirty-six are arrivals."

"Based on this probability, there are likely many arrivals in the other divine offices as well."

Bowei did not answer, but instead asked: "I have always been curious, how do you confirm that these people are arrivals?"

"My master—"

"If you don't want to say, then don't; there is no need to use such a lame excuse," Bowei interrupted impatiently.

Zhao Xing chuckled.

He couldn't say that he had a panel and could distinguish between arrivals and non-arrivals through their remaining lifespan.

Bowei didn't mind and analyzed slowly:

"As I said before, you created the Ten Directions Mountain Classic but cannot be converted by the evil god faction. Then, after you travel through time to become a god, there will inevitably be evil gods coming to hunt you down and interrupt your path to godhood."

"Once they achieve this, you will naturally develop distrust and insecurity toward the Desolate Domain faction."

"The goal of intimidation and threats will then be achieved, and you will very likely defect to the evil gods because of it."

"And it is not difficult to guess the time and place you traveled to."

"You have only been a demigod for a short time, so your contribution ranking cannot be very high."

"There are not many places related to agricultural officials becoming gods in the 356 known eras of the Spirit Domain."

"The evil god faction will likely send many demigods, or even god-level beings, to lurk in various places to see if they can ambush you."

"As a relatively famous secret realm, the Boat of the Universe is a key area for defense."

Zhao Xing's heart tightened; this possibility was indeed quite high.

"You are currently using the pseudonym Han Bing, and your identity is very secret. As long as you don't expose your characteristics as Zhao Xing, it will be difficult for them to find you and act against you."

"For example, that grass doll clone of yours must absolutely not be used."

The Primordial Grass Doll Art in the Desolate Domain era is only known by Zhao Xing, Zuo Qiyu, and Liu Tianning.

Zuo Qiyu is not a demigod, and Liu Tianning did not obtain the qualifications to become a god, so the one who can use it is Zhao Xing.

As long as this point is exposed, he will be caught immediately.

In addition, the Yuanji Mountain and the Earth-Hiding Divine Needle, which he carries with him, are the same.

"Keep a low profile while still making money," Zhao Xing sighed. "It's really not easy. I don't know how Old Qing managed to become a Divine General."

His situation was very similar to Qing Yuzi's. Qing Yuzi leaked the timing of the evil god faction's attack, issued a warning, and was hunted by the Bookless City forces. He didn't even have a protector, yet he managed to rise from the Divine Soldier level to the Divine General level.

【The degree of heavenly secret chaos has reached its peak.】

Just then, a new message appeared on Zhao Xing's Profound Spirit Historical Record Facsimile.

"The opportunity event is about to end."

Seeing this message, Zhao Xing understood that the first Sacred Mountain upheaval was about to end.

Because the chaos of heavenly secrets had reached its peak, the intensity would now weaken, and that Biluo Free God of the Mountain Patrol Divine Office would likely wake up soon.

"When they check and find that there are far fewer Earth God Crystals, they will definitely question us mountain envoys; this is the concrete manifestation of causal burden."

"I must speed up."

Zhao Xing notified the seven deputy envoys in front of him, as well as the eight deputy envoys across the Yas Sea, of this information.

Chu Ji became increasingly in awe of Zhao Xing, as he had absolutely no such early warning function.

He had thought the Sacred Mountain upheaval would continue for some time.

Lei Hong, Yue Zhen, Yi Kun, and the others took several months longer than Zhao Xing to confirm that the chaos of heavenly secrets was weakening.

They also developed three parts more fear toward Zhao Xing.

With great strength, high status, and the ability to take the initiative in opportunity events, there was no doubt that they had no chance of winning if they tried to resist Zhao Xing.

Three more years passed. By this time, Zhao Xing was no longer operating in the deep sea; he had returned to the shallow sea, visited the caves of the other sixteen deputy envoys, and finally returned to his own cave.

First solar year, 325, the opportunity event "Sacred Mountain Upheaval" was triggered.

Early 337, the opportunity event "Sacred Mountain Upheaval" entered its final stages.

"Be careful yourself; I cannot speak anymore."

"The Biluo Free God of the Mountain Patrol Divine Office has awakened."

Bowei suddenly issued a warning, then lost his voice.

At the same time, the spiritual tablet inside Liu Qingci, which Divine General Yin Zai was using, also went silent.

Although the Biluo Free God was only at the Divine Soldier level, his appearance was a god-level event. Protectors like Bowei and Yin Zai

both remained silent to avoid bringing unnecessary trouble to their targets.

Early 337, the Biluo Free God of the Mountain Patrol Divine Office awakened and immediately appeared in the Yas Sea to suppress the Sacred Mountain upheaval.

At this stage, neither the main envoy nor the deputy envoys dared to continue stealing Earth God Crystals.

The window for the opportunity event had passed.

Anyone who dared to continue stealing Earth God Crystals would increase the risk of exposure, leading to death or being forced off the Boat of the Universe event.

End of 337.

The first Sacred Mountain upheaval event ended.

In the Void Mountain cave, Chu Ji's causal avatar appeared before Xu Huai.

"Are you saying you want to take away seventy percent of my Earth God Crystals?" Xu Huai's face was gloomy. "Hmph, what kind of nonsense are you talking about!"

"It's not taking, it's handing them over to Venerable Han," Chu Ji cupped his hands toward the air. "After handing them over, you will receive protection. For the next opportunity event, you won't have to hand over seventy percent, only thirty percent."

Xu Huai was so angry he laughed; isn't this just robbery?!

"I need his protection?! How ridiculous. Get out of my cave immediately, or don't blame me for being impolite!"

Chu Ji said unhurriedly: "Think twice before you act. If you miss this opportunity now, it won't be this amount later."

"Get out!"

Chu Ji looked at Xu Huai with pity, then disappeared from the cave.

Xu Huai watched Chu Ji leave and slowly calmed down.

He frowned and pondered: "I don't know where this Han Bing comes from, to be able to subdue other arrivals."

"This Chu Ji has survived sixteen True Spirit Tribulations; although he can't make the Bai Zhuoji demigod list, he is still a good hand. Yet he acts like a lackey."

Xu Huai felt that things were not that simple, but to ask him to hand over seventy percent of his harvest just like that was impossible.

Because he had already paid the price; the Earth God Crystals he had now were clean goods that didn't require paying any further price.

"Hmph, no matter where he comes from, this kind of thinking is just a pipe dream."

Chu Ji returned to his cave. In one month, he had visited all the caves of the arrivals in the Mountain Patrol Divine Office.

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

"Chu Ji is incompetent; among the sixteen arrivals, not a single one agreed."

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

"Hahaha." Zhao Xing laughed loudly: "I've wronged you, Chu Ji."

The sixteen deputy envoys were all people he hadn't met before; suddenly asking them to pay protection money was obviously not going to be easy.

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

"Wait. Go again in half a year," Zhao Xing said indifferently.

"Yes."

After Chu Ji retreated from the Crystal Palace,

Zhao Xing immediately closed his eyes and began to cast spells.

Golden Cicada Dharma forms emerged from behind him one by one, and then flew out one after another.

Because Zhao Xing had just ordered Chu Ji to coerce the sixteen deputy envoys (arrivals), there was now a causal connection.

Thus, sixteen golden cicadas climbed along the causal lines and flew toward the sixteen deputy envoys.

Xianjian Rong Palace, Venerable Ceng Guang's cave.

In the secret room, a pile of Earth God Crystals was placed in front of him, and Venerable Ceng Guang was using secret arts to resolve his causal burden.

But suddenly, "Buzz."

He felt as if he had been bitten by something; a golden cicada had appeared in the secret room out of nowhere.

And the causal burden he had worked so hard to resolve suddenly increased again, and the value on his Causal Order dropped by 10 points.

"What?" Venerable Ceng Guang was shocked. "Who is attacking me?"

Chi chi chi chi chi. Venerable Ceng Guang immediately counterattacked, and the golden cicada was quickly killed. He wanted to trace the attack back, but looking along the causal line, he saw a giant golden cicada!

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

"Hiss."

Venerable Ceng Guang saw the figure beneath the golden cicada and couldn't help but gasp, immediately and decisively withdrawing the attack.

"It's Han Bing!"

Venerable Ceng Guang felt a lingering fear. "He is actually this strong, and he can interfere with my resolution of causal burden?"

He remembered that someone named Chu Ji had come to lobby for Han Bing, and his face turned gloomy.

"What should I do? If I don't hand it over, will I never be able to resolve my causal burden? How will I go trigger opportunity events?"

At the same time, in other caves, angry roars also broke out.

"Han Bing, don't go too far!"

"The Great Dao is wide; let's each go our own way. Do you want to be my enemy?"

"I am willing to hand over fifty cubic units of Earth God Crystals; can Venerable Han Bing please raise your hand?"

Inside Zhao Xing's cave, the Golden Cicada True Form disappeared and was recast time and again.

On the Profound Spirit Historical Record, his opportunity value remained as high as fifty.

Because the Golden Cicada True Form: Dual Body was a god-level auxiliary secret art that Bowei had taught him.

It could even eliminate the sequelae of cultivating the Nine Marshes God, so naturally, it could also eliminate causal burden.

Other knowledge, Bowei had mentioned in passing.

But the Golden Cicada True Form: Dual Body was something Zhao Xing had traded a promise for.

It is conceivable that this secret art was also a very precious thing for the scholar Divine General Bowei.

"Bang bang bang bang bang bang~"

The first month passed, and Zhao Xing launched interference attacks on the sixteen deputy envoys.

Three deputy envoys, worn down and having lost their temper, agreed to Zhao Xing's request on the spot and signed an unequal contract.

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

The third month passed, and five deputy envoys decided to pay the protection money.

But there were still four people who held out until the sixth month without yielding.

This included Xu Huai, because these four people all had treasures or secret arts that could withstand Zhao Xing's interference.

Half a year later, Zhao Xing's golden cicadas stopped attacking because a wave of divine power entered his mansion.

"All mountain envoys, come here immediately!"

In the Yas Sea, Biluo Mountain, a tall and majestic golden figure summoned all the mountain envoys of the Mountain Patrol Divine Office.

Hearing the order, all the deputy envoys had to rush to Biluo Mountain.

Xu Huai sat in his flying boat, a trace of lingering sorrow between his brows.

During the twelve-year opportunity event, Xu Huai's harvest was quite good; now, the value on his Causal Order showed negative 45.

Logically speaking, this was still a safe value and would not trigger a major ominous event.

Later, he could slowly resolve it, bringing the value back to zero or even a positive number, preparing for the next opportunity event.

However, this was under ideal circumstances.

Half a year after returning to his cave, Xu Huai's value not only failed to return to positive, but reached negative 48, increasing by another three points!

If it exceeded negative sixty, he would trigger a god-level negative event!

If he couldn't resolve it as soon as possible, let alone seeking opportunities, survival itself would be a problem.

"Damn Han Bing, he's simply bullying people too much!" Xu Huai slammed the token in his hand, making a loud clanging sound.

"If it weren't for him, I would have returned the value to positive in the last half year. This is simply not giving people a way to live!"

"Now that the Biluo Free God has summoned us, he's probably going to check the accounts. If I can't give a good explanation, I might trigger a god-level negative event." There are opportunity events, and of course, there are negative events. Xu Huai wasn't afraid of the Biluo Free God.

Biluo was only a mid-stage Divine Soldier Free God; if they really fought, Xu Huai was even confident he could kill Biluo!

But what after killing him? His causal burden would soar to over 100, which would then trigger the appearance of Divine General Yue Nan.

Unless he didn't want to stay here anymore, doing so would be suicide.

Possessing combat power but being unable to solve the problem, Xu Huai felt very aggrieved.

He hadn't harvested enough yet; leaving after just one opportunity event would be a massive loss.

But he wasn't willing to bow his head to Han Bing. The Heavenly Time faction agricultural officials had always been proud, and Xu Huai, a dragon among men, was even more so.

He was a demigod who had been on the Bai Zhuoji genius list, although he fell off quickly later, but Xu Huai's Dao heart absolutely did not allow him to easily yield to someone of the same level.

"Venerable Han Bing!" Xu Huai took the initiative to contact Zhao Xing through the causal line that had been generated. "Do you dare to fight me fair and square? If you win, let alone seventy percent, all my harvest will be yours."

"If you lose, then get lost!"

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

"Orthodox Heavenly Time faction agricultural officials are indeed arrogant; they would rather lose everything in battle than yield and offer up seventy percent of the Earth God Crystals."

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

"Xu Huai, my rules are 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 must hand over the seventy percent first."

"Otherwise, just wait to trigger a negative event!"

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

338, before Biluo Mountain.

Yas Sea, Mountain Patrol Divine Office, thirty-five deputy envoys and one main envoy, all arrived.

This included Zhao Xing, with thirty-two arrivals and only four event characters.

"Greetings, Divine Venerable Biluo."

Everyone bowed and saluted.

Just then, a sudden change occurred. On Biluo Mountain, a mirror appeared, and divine light spilled from the mirror, falling upon everyone.

All the arrivals were surprised to find that their negative causal value had increased by 10 points!

"Causal Mirror?"

Zhao Xing's heart tightened; his opportunity value had also dropped by 10 points, but it was still a positive thirty.

It was just that he hadn't expected such a turn of events.

However, after being illuminated, the Biluo Free God on the mountaintop suddenly locked his gaze onto a white-haired, green-eyed man among the mountain envoys.

"You dare to embezzle divine crystals? Die!"

Boom! Heavy divine power condensed into a great mountain and crashed down.

Before the mountain landed, the wind arrived.

Zhao Xing felt that he and the others were pushed away by this wind.

But the white-haired, green-eyed Venerable Yinxue was at the very center of the suppression.

Space had been severed; the white-haired, green-eyed man could not absorb a single bit of spiritual energy, nor could he invoke any power of heaven and earth.

Both heaven and earth were targeting him!

Venerable Yinxue had triggered a god-level negative event!

Everything happened too fast; Yinxue had no time to consider anything else and could only immediately have his protector outside use the life-line causal line to pull him out of the Boat of the Universe.

"Han Bing!!"

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

Then his physical body exploded, and a large amount of divine crystals scattered; only his true spirit was taken away.

After the earth upheaval ended, Yinxue had half a year to reduce his causal burden.

But precisely because of Han Bing's existence, he had made no progress in that half year, and his negative causal value had reached fifty-one points!

Added to the illumination by the Causal Mirror just now, it immediately exceeded sixty.

With Yinxue's shout, the remaining three who hadn't yielded—Xu Huai, Peng Tian, and Xuan Zhuang—seemed to see hope.

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

Yinxue's actions did indeed affect Zhao Xing; his causal value dropped by three points.

At the same time, the Biluo Free God's gaze also looked over.

Zhao Xing admitted his mistake before the Biluo Free God could speak: "Divine Venerable, Yinxue stole Earth God Crystals; your subordinate failed in his duty of oversight."

However, at this moment, someone immediately stood by Zhao Xing's side to help speak for him.

"Reporting to the Divine Venerable, before the upheaval occurred, Main Envoy Han sensed the anomaly in the underwater peaks and summoned all deputy envoys to discuss countermeasures."

"However, only six deputy envoys came; the others did not heed the summons."

"Your subordinate can testify."

"Your subordinate also testifies."

The four event deputy envoys were the first to stand out.

Following them were the arrivals.

Chu Ji still charged forward first; he knelt beside Zhao Xing and said respectfully: "Divine Venerable, after the upheaval, the main envoy found me and Deputy Envoy Lei Hong at the first opportunity to jointly suppress the anomaly of the underwater mountain range and deal with the disaster."

Lei Hong immediately stood out: "Afterward, your subordinate and the main envoy worked together to provide relief, and in the end, fifteen deputy envoys worked with the main envoy, supervising each other."

"Reporting to the Divine Venerable, I can testify."

"Reporting to the Divine Venerable, I can testify."

"..."

Xu Huai watched, dumbfounded.

How were all these people in cahoots with Han Bing?

Had he anticipated this scene long ago?

Zhao Xing stood quietly in place, maintaining a bowing posture.

What is meant by "there are always great scholars to debate the scriptures for me"?

After this corroboration, he found that the three points of value he had just lost had been restored, and not only that, but it had risen by five points.

Liu Qingci, on the side, couldn't help but sigh that when the demigods below are in cahoots, even gods can be deceived.

Xu Huai hadn't intended to stand out, but since he and Venerable Zhuohua had participated in the crisis management meeting Zhao Xing convened beforehand, he had to bite the bullet and stand out.

"This Han Bing really has rich experience in participating in historical event secret realms."

"He has united so many deputy envoys; if he were to bite back at others at this moment, it would probably be very difficult for anyone to clear their name."

Of course they couldn't clear their names, because they weren't innocent to begin with!

The arrivals were all there to steal Earth God Crystals; it was just a matter of whose causal line was hidden better.

The Biluo Free God continued to ask: "Han Bing, during this process, did you have any other discoveries?"

"Reporting to the Divine Venerable," Zhao Xing replied: "From beginning to end, I could not contact Deputy Envoys Ni Feng, Yu Chen, and Yinxue."

Ni Feng, Yu Chen, and Yinxue were the three arrivals who held out and refused to yield.

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

So it didn't matter if the Earth God Crystals were kept with Zhao Xing for now; Xu Huai had absolute confidence in his own strength.

Therefore, Zhao Xing only implicated the three people who were unwilling to pay protection money.

Yinxue had already been blasted apart just now, and the remaining two, Venerable Ni Feng and Venerable Yu Chen, had their faces change drastically.

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

"Divine Venerable, do not listen to his one-sided words; Han Bing is the one who stole the most Earth God Crystals!"

Venerable Ni Feng tried to quibble.

But Venerable Yu Chen immediately activated his protector's rescue function the moment Zhao Xing spoke.

"Whoosh, whoosh."

A red line suddenly appeared from the void, shrouding Yu Chen, and he disappeared just before the Biluo Free God could act.

"Indeed a spy!" The Biluo Free God's hand, like a mountain, pressed down fiercely.

"Boom!"

The sea surface was crushed into a terrifying vortex, and Venerable Ni Feng also disappeared.

"He was pulled away."

Zhao Xing watched from afar; just now, the protector behind Venerable Ni Feng had also taken him away.

Both of these people had preserved the Earth God Crystals they carried and left the Boat of the Universe.

Their outcome was slightly better than Venerable Yinxue's; at least they carried the harvest of this opportunity out with them.

Venerable Yinxue had gained nothing, his physical body was blasted, and only his residual true spirit left.

"All mountain envoys return to your caves; without a divine oracle, you are not allowed to leave!"

This change also caused the Biluo Free God to issue a ban.

"Yes."

Zhao Xing glanced at the historical record facsimile and found that his causal burden had not increased, so he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Only after safely returning to the cave could this Sacred Mountain upheaval be considered truly over.

"Now the treasures in my hands truly belong to me, and I can continue to stay here." Zhao Xing began to count his harvest this time.
