Most Likely Dead.

Qiao Xiaoqiao couldn't help but clap her hands: "That's a good point, it really touches my heart."

"Yes, then there is no need to say more polite words, let's continue to arrange the tasks."

Zhao Yuji remained serious, and then said to Zhao Qingqing: "Qingqing, you go back to the Imperial Capital and protect the Zhao family. With the help of the Tiandao Group, there shouldn't be any problems."

"Don't worry, it'll be okay."

Zhao Qingqing took on the task straightforwardly and added, "I have also contacted my best friend Xu Jiaona, and her special adjustment team will also cooperate."

"That's good." Zhao Yuji nodded and said softly, "I also know about Xu Jiaona. She has been recruited by the authorities. You should partner with her and try to give her some benefits to ease the tension with some old forces in the authorities."

Zhao Qingqing nodded: "I understand."

"The south is also an important location for our layout."

"It's not just Guicheng, there's also Tiannan and Miaojiang. The area is quite wide, and many of the forces are new and not stable."

Zhao Yuji thought about it for a moment, then said softly, "Then Ruirui and Shi Chun, you two will guard it."

Shi Chun looked at Ning Ruirui's long legs and immediately clapped his hands and cheered: "Great."

"Okay." Ning Ruirui nodded and said, "It just so happens that I can contact the current leader of the Snow Mountain Sect and unite the Snow Mountain Sect as well. There is also the Nine Mountains Alliance."

"That's fine." Zhao Yuji laughed. "I'll only arrange your area. You guys have to figure out how to execute it. I don't have any resources to share with you."

Ah Jiu interrupted at this time and said, "Manpower is actually easy to say. There are still quite a few people in the small fairyland. Their average cultivation is about the peak of the foundation-building stage. Although they are not very powerful, they are completely enough."

"There are also the Xuanyin people who moved out from Frost Moon Island, they can also be used." Yi Xiaoyin added.

Zhao Yuji nodded, and then continued: "Xiao Li, and Ajiu, you will guard Fuliang and Huangshan. That is your respective hometowns. You can also expand it and connect to Zhongnan Mountain... There should be no shortage of manpower."

Ah Jiu nodded: "Okay."

Nie Xiaoli naturally had no objection. Her cultivation was the weakest, but with Ajiu's help, there would be no problem at all.

"Yiren, you go to Tianhai City and guard it."

Zhao Yuji looked at Lan Yiren and said slowly, "You and your husband have explored there before, so you should be quite familiar with it."

Lan Yiren accepted the order: "Don't worry, there will be absolutely no problem."

Zhao Yuji finally looked at Yi Xiaoyin and said solemnly, "You often travel overseas, so you should be very clear about those complicated forces. You can come forward to integrate them to avoid a mess, which may even cause more trouble."

Yi Xiaoyin did not refuse and answered seriously: "Sure, I can contact Mei Aoxue and Zhan Musi and others from the Changsheng Temple. We have communicated with each other before, so even if we integrate them temporarily, it won't take much time."

The head of the Tiangong Palace interrupted at this time and said, "Although my [Tiangong] is a bit scattered, and I was too lazy to take care of it before, there are still some people who are loyal to me. There are also a few trustworthy people in the island country branch. I will introduce them to you."

"That couldn't be better." Yi Xiaoyin immediately thanked him.

"Hey, what about me?" Su Beibei listened for a long time, but didn't hear her name. She couldn't help but feel a little puzzled: "Jiang Hai has Sister Xiao Qiao, so there shouldn't be any need for me to give orders here."

Zhao Yuji said seriously: "Come with me to the Little Immortal Realm. It must be the most important place with the most dangers. It's a good opportunity for you to train."

"It's the Little Immortal Realm again, you are not trying to torture me on purpose."

For the next day, the whole world fell into an inexplicable silence.

This kind of silence is very deliberate.

Like the calm before the storm, everyone had a premonition that something big was about to happen.

What is strange is that officials from various countries have remained remarkably calm and have not shown any signs of reaction.

Ordinary people have no idea what is going to happen. Some people may be forced to get involved, but most people really know nothing and don’t need to know.

By the time they react, the storm may have subsided.

…

At this time, the key person who should have been in the eye of the storm was in a rather strange situation.

Summer is lying on a river, drifting with the flow.

🔥 *Hot New Release!* Translated with **95% accuracy** - **wtr-lab.com**​​

He didn't know what kind of river it was, nor was he interested in knowing where it flowed.

But he felt a little unhappy that he was deceived by the figure in the white mask.

Strictly speaking, it wasn't a lie. He was just having fun at the time, so he wasn't on guard and was teleported here without noticing.

At that time, he and Su Beibei were still in Siam and had just killed the scheming Yin-blood God's messenger.

Xia Tian was still thinking about whether to go on vacation with Su Beibei for a few days first, or take her directly back to Jianghai.

Then, a strange shadow appeared in front of him.

It was a shadow about the same size as a human, dark grey in color, like fog, with no fixed shape, but with a white mask on its face.

"Where did you come from, idiot?" Xia Tian asked directly.

The ghost in the white mask didn't say anything, but just stretched out his hand towards Xia Tian.

A flickering hand, all vague and flickering shadows.

"What, do you want to fight or shake hands?"

Xia Tian curled his lips and said, "If you want to fight, just fight. Forget about shaking hands. I basically don't shake hands with anyone except beautiful women."

The white masked shadow finally made a voice: "Follow me."

"Come as you say." Xia Tian said unhappily.

The white-masked shadow didn't say anything else, but stuck to Xia Tian's arm.

Xia Tian didn't dodge, just wanted to see what this shadow could do.

As a result, I found something wrong as soon as I touched it.

Xia Tian immediately took out the silver needle and stabbed the white-masked shadow.

Unfortunately, it was too late. A space-time rift had already formed and he was suddenly sucked in.

However, it was also because he blocked it with a silver needle.

Halfway through the transmission, the entire space-time rift was distorted and shattered.

Xia Tian fell out and no one knew how long he fell, but he finally fell into a river.

This is a huge river that seems to have no end.

The river water is cool, but a little turbid.

There seemed to be something like souls underneath, rolling and shuttling back and forth from time to time. Some of the brave ones seemed to want to possess Xia Tian.

Xia Tian discovered that because of the collapse of the crack just now, his cultivation seemed to be locked by something, and he could not use the ice and fire spiritual energy for a while.

This kind of blockade is completely different from Ye Yumei's draining of him.

Ye Yumei absorbed most of his spiritual energy, causing a long period of vacuum in his cultivation. If he didn't fill this vacuum, his cultivation would never improve.

But now, the meridians and orifices are blocked.

This created a strange situation: the Dantian Qi Sea could clearly produce ice and fire spiritual energy, but there was no way to use it.

It’s like the factory is still producing goods, but the logistics are cut off and the goods cannot be delivered.

Of course, this is only a temporary problem.

Xia Tian is using ice and fire spiritual energy to stimulate these meridians and acupoints bit by bit, which is actually equivalent to opening up a new channel.

In this episode, he could only temporarily keep himself lying flat on the river, completely ignoring where he would drift.

After drifting for a while, Xia Tian suddenly discovered something strange.

The flow of time here seems to be a little different.

As for how big the difference is, we can only know after he clears the meridians and orifices again.

I don’t know how long I drifted. It seemed like several days and nights, but it also seemed like only a few hours.

Xia Tian even took a nap in the middle of the journey, and his meridians were somewhat unblocked. However, he still didn't see the river bank, so he was too lazy to bother.

At this time, a small boat suddenly floated on the river.

There were three figures sitting on the boat, an old boatman and two young women.

One of the women in green looked ahead and suddenly spotted Xia Tian in the river. She called out to the woman in white next to her, "Sister, there seems to be something floating ahead."

When the woman in white heard this, she couldn't help but look over, and she really saw something floating not far away.

"Ladies, it looks like the same person." The old boatman had sharp eyes and perhaps because of his rich experience, he recognized them immediately.

The woman in green said quickly, "Why don't you row over there and rescue the person?"

"Don't be impatient!" The woman in white was more cautious and said hesitantly, "This is the River of Resentment. There are all kinds of water monsters and ghosts in the water. Who knows if it's a bait?"

"That's true." The woman in green was immediately convinced: "Never mind, we still have tasks to complete. If we don't finish them, the old woman will get angry."

The woman in white gave a bitter smile, feeling helpless about her sister's inconsistent temper. "What if it really is a member of the tribe who fell into the water upstream? We should go over to confirm it."

“That’s right!”

The green-clothed woman's temper changed again. She chuckled and said, "Then let's fish it out and see for ourselves what it is."

"Hey, you..." The woman in white was about to speak.

The woman in green threw out a piece of rope from her sleeve, which suddenly flew several hundred meters away, rolled up Xia Tian in the river, and pulled him to the bow of the boat with a sudden pull.

The old foreman lowered his head to take a look, sniffed the air, and said to the two women, "It is indeed a person, but he is no longer breathing. He is probably dead."
