Who wants to become a god? Aren't you all forcing me?

The gale gradually subsided, and the swaying branches drooped once more.

Zhou Qiantai's chest heaved violently, his turbid eyes were bloodshot, and his veins throbbed as if they had come to life.

His gaze, like a sharp knife, was plunged deeply into Li Chenqiu's chest, sinking deeper with the passage of time.

"He...he really killed him!"

"Are you kidding me...how dare New World fight to the death with the Zhou family?!"

"Yeah...how dare they?"

The soldiers looked at each other, their faces filled with shock, unable to believe what they had just witnessed.

On the dust-covered steps, Li Chenqiu smiled, ignoring Zhou Qiantai's terrifying gaze, and parted his thin lips slightly: "This appearance of wanting to tear me to pieces but being unable to do so is exactly how you should be."

Zhou Qiantai suppressed the anger in his heart and squeezed out words from between his teeth: "Release Zhou Yuan, and I'll have them open the protective shield and let you leave."

Li Chenqiu asked in confusion, "Is Zhou Yuan your grandson?"

Zhou Qiantai replied with a gloomy expression, "Yes."

Li Chenqiu nodded in understanding, as if he understood: "Since he's your grandson, then naturally I have to keep a close eye on him and definitely can't let him go easily."

"You!"

Zhou Qiantai took a step forward, but after seeing the meaningful smile on Li Chenqiu's face, he retracted his step.

"Open the protective shield, I need to leave here as soon as possible, otherwise the Security and Control Department will send people to purge me later." Li Chenqiu gestured towards the blood-colored protective shield.

No one responded, neither Zhou Qiantai nor the four Eleventh Realm experts. Clearly, they were very dissatisfied with what Li Chenqiu had said.

"It seems you all need time to consider. That's fine, I'll give you time. I'll kill one person every ten breaths. Remember to count the heads carefully, and don't overthink it."

As he spoke, Li Chenqiu shifted his gaze to Zhou Qiantai: "Just a reminder, I don't know which one is Zhou Yuan, so who dies first and who dies last all depends on luck. Do you want to guess whether your grandson's luck is good or bad?"

Zhou Qiantai's clenched fists trembled uncontrollably: "If I let you leave here...will they still have a chance to live?"

Li Chenqiu smiled and said, "That depends on the sincerity of the Zhou Corporation."

"Open the protective shield and let him go!" Zhou Qiantai looked down at the lean man managing the protective shield.

"Eighth Master, this..."

"Do as I say!" Zhou Qiantai said in an unquestionable tone.

"Yes."

The lean man's figure flickered and disappeared like the wind.

Before long, accompanied by a buzzing sound, the blood-colored protective shield gradually faded until it disappeared completely.

"Goodbye everyone, but don't follow me, otherwise it will be difficult for me, after all, there aren't many people left alive."

Li Chenqiu waved his hand, dragged the vines binding several people, and jumped into the earth, disappearing from everyone's sight.

After he left, Zhou Qiantai, who was standing in the air, suddenly turned red and bent over, spitting out blood.

"Eighth Master!"

"Eighth Master!"

"You must be alright!"

...

Second Division of the Security and Control Department, Disaster Area, District Chief's Office.

Zhou Lian sat at his desk, crossed his legs, and listened to his subordinate's report with ease and leisure.

"There are no abnormalities in Districts A, B, and C. The disasters are all quiet, and the search teams sent out have not found any strange areas within a hundred miles."

Zhou Lian put down the coffee in his hand and nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, but temporary calm doesn't mean anything. We must remain vigilant at all times."

"Understood, please rest assured, District Chief." The young man puffed out his chest.

Zhou Lian waved his hand to dismiss him: "Okay, go down!"

"Yes."

The young man turned and left the office.

"Strange...how could there be no movement at all? Could it be that New World doesn't plan to save Li Ji?"

Zhou Lian crossed his hands in front of his abdomen, tilted his head back slightly, leaned on the soft headrest, and quietly stared at the ceiling.

Li Ji is a Twelfth Realm Chosen One, and also a direct descendant of the Li Corporation, the former Director of the Security and Control Department. Would New World choose to stand by and watch such an important figure?

"It shouldn't be! Could it be that I've overlooked something?"

Thinking of this, Zhou Lian sat up straight and was about to do something when a burst of urgent telephone ringing came.

Ring ring ring...ring ring ring...

"Hmm?"

Zhou Lian glanced at the caller's ID and answered the phone with some doubt, holding the phone to his ear: "Hello, what's the matter?"

A few seconds later, his eyes suddenly widened, and he stood up with a "whoosh": "What did you say!!!"

...

After leaving the Zhou residence, Li Chenqiu did not stop for a moment, and arrived at the Chaotic Spirit Forest in the evening with Zhou Tengfei and others, arriving at the meeting place agreed upon with Nu Sha and the others.

This is a forest located in the Second Federal District, or more accurately, a cursed land.

The Chaotic Spirit Forest is just like its name, very chaotic. The chaos lies in the word "spirit". The grass, rocks, streams...in this forest are almost all conscious beings, just like animals.

Beside the stream flowing out of the Chaotic Spirit Forest, Li Chenqiu released the hand tightly holding the vines, rolled up his sleeves, squatted down, and cupped the stream water with his hands, raising it to splash on his face, making his drowsy head a little clearer.

He looked down at his reflection in the water and muttered to himself: "I wonder how things are on their side."

To assassinate a Twelfth Realm expert, one has to face not only that Twelfth Realm expert, but also support from all sides and subsequent pursuit!

Although Nu Sha and the others' strength is comparable to the Twelfth Realm, their speed and power are only at the Eleventh Realm. Even if they can successfully kill a Twelfth Realm expert, whether they can escape safely is still a question!

"Hoo hoo hoo~~~"

Li Chenqiu breathed a long sigh of relief, got up and shook the water-stained hands, came to the few tightly wrapped zongzi, and waved his hand.

Swish swish—

The vines wrapped around the heads of several people slowly contracted, and heads with different appearances but extremely terrified expressions were exposed to the air.

Although their eyes could not see what happened in the morning, their ears could hear. They were clear about who the person in front of them was, the other party's personality, and their own situation.

"I'm really sorry for ruining your hunting game!" Li Chenqiu slowly squatted down, revealing an apologetic smile.

"Let me go...don't you want Resurrection Beasts? My dad is from the Military Supplies Department. As long as you let me go, he'll give you a lot of Resurrection Beasts, as long as you let me go!"

A handsome young man wriggled his body like a caterpillar, making cries with a hint of crying.

"My family can also give you Resurrection Beasts, as long as you are willing to let me go!"

"You won't get anything by killing us. It's so much better to exchange our lives for some benefits!"
