Chu Xiu had an impression of this person. He fled to a distance of ten thousand meters right after the fight started and subsequently provided long-range fire support with a bow and arrow equipment. This bow and arrow didnât have much power and was clearly not his usual main combat style.
Judging from his fleeing speed, his strength wasnât weak. He was probably a veteran Heroic Spirit; otherwise, he wouldnât possess such rare materials, indicating that this person is the type who has some responsibility but not much.
But thatâs enough. As long as heâs not a Heroic Spirit who completely disregards humanity, Chu Xiu felt they could make a deal.
However, he proposed exchanging for tangible Cause and Effect Points instead of the governmentâs IOUs, which Chu Xiu naturally refused.
He seemed to understand that in such a situation, the more strength one has, the better the chance of survival. No one would trade Cause and Effect Points, so he could only say helplessly, "I still have four hundred thousand Cause and Effect Points saved up, originally intended for future private transactions, but now they must be used immediately."
"During the period of consuming Cause and Effect Points, I will sell this artifact at a low price in exchange for readily available Cause and Effect Points. If itâs not sold in three days, then weâll do as you say, of course... provided we can hold out until then."
Chu Xiu agreed and flew to the governmentâs command center, an eight hundred-meter-tall building, originally a landmark of Peng City. The massive Shield Generator formed a barrier overhead, and all the buildingâs windows were sealed with steel plates, replaced by anti-aircraft cannon emplacements.
Chu Xiu landed on the rooftop and saw the figure of Divine Power Daoist from a distance. Most of his visible wounds had healed, but his aura was still much weaker than before, clearly suffering serious injuries. He was engaged in a serious discussion through Sound Transmission with two others.
The auras of those two individuals were incredibly strong, clearly marking them as Demigods!
Seeing Chu Xiuâs arrival, the solemn expression on Divine Power Daoistâs face softened slightly. He said to the other two, "This is Qin Yu, a recent returnee from abroad with quite impressive strength. Most importantly, he didnât flee in battle. Ling Fu says he can be trusted, and Iâve allocated him eight hundred forty thousand Cause and Effect Points."
A tall man with a square face next to Divine Power Daoist nodded and wordlessly tossed a cloth bag toward Chu Xiu.
Chu Xiu caught it and checked its contents, then cupped his hands and inquired, "Comrade, may I ask what the governmentâs current plan is?"
The square-faced man glanced at him and said indifferently, "Rest assured and guard your territory well, leave everything else to us. Whether itâs communicating with the outer world, finding escape routes, or scouting enemy weaknesses, there are professionals handling all these. Youâll be informed of any news as soon as possible, and please trust in the governmentâs capabilities."
Upon hearing this, Chu Xiu said no more, bowed, and then flew toward the area he was assigned to guard.
The defense assignments seemed to follow a proximity principle, and Chu Xiu was responsible for the area originally occupied by the auction house, where his parents were.
At this moment, his parents were hiding in the underground parking lot of a mid-range hotel nearby.
Chu Xiu glanced at the sky; the air was completely covered in black mist, obscuring any sunlight, plunging the entire city into darkness, with only a few streetlights still barely glowing.
With a thought, the Blood Demon Incarnation swiftly rushed out, soon arriving beside his father and mother.
Having done all this, Chu Xiu took out all the one hundred twenty thousand Cause and Effect Points he currently had.
On his way here, he had already decided on the inheritance for priority cultivation.
It wasnât the Great Freedom Celestial Demon Body; this mere one hundred twenty thousand wasnât enough to elevate this technique to the next Level.
He chose the Cultivation Technique that could boost his combat power the fastest in the current phase!
Taking a deep breath, a gleaming golden book appeared in his mind.
This was the core cultivation technique of the Duo Bao Demon Venerable lineage, a legacy of artifacts.
It was called "Myriad Weapons Storage Technique"!
