Zhou Luan interlaced his fingers and said slowly, "Although the public purge was my suggestion, the idea wasn't mine. I merely spoke on behalf of that person at the meeting and have no authority to postpone the public purge plan."

As soon as these words came out, everyone present showed surprise.

The woman tentatively asked, "Minister, the person you're referring to..."

"What do you think?" Zhou Luan glanced at her indifferently.

The people present weren't fools and immediately understood who Zhou Luan was talking about, so they stopped discussing the topic.

Zhou Luan continued, "In any case, since that person hasn't spoken, it means everything is within a controllable range. We don't need to worry about subsequent problems and only need to consider what we should consider from the perspective of the Disaster Purge Department.

Four Resurrectors working together killed a Twelve Forbidden Destiny Chosen. Our Disaster Purge Department can't be indifferent and must retaliate forcefully, at least by purging one of them!"

A man with a narrow face said, "Minister, the New World's actions are for Li Ji. If there are no accidents, those four Twelve Forbidden Resurrectors will appear at the purge site the day after tomorrow. This is an opportunity."

Zhou Luan nodded slowly, his sharp gaze sweeping across the room, "Many High Forbidden combatants have already been deployed in the Forbidden Disaster Zone. If those four Resurrectors really appear there, we won't need to take action.

However, purging Resurrectors is our responsibility. Even if we don't need to take action, we can't stand idly by. Which team leader is willing to show their face?"

"Minister."

The burly man who had been scolded earlier raised his hand, "I think those four Resurrectors might not be from the New World."

Zhou Luan gestured for him to speak, "What's your reasoning?"

The burly man explained, "We have some understanding of the New World's structure and High Forbidden combat power, but none of the abilities of these four Resurrectors overlap with the New World's Twelve Forbidden.

They seem to have appeared out of nowhere, without any warning. Moreover, these four Resurrectors are too bold, which doesn't fit the New World's style, so I suspect they aren't Resurrectors from the New World."

Hearing this, everyone looked at the burly man as if he were an idiot.

Zhou Luan chuckled, "I think your brain is really muddled. Is the New World we know the entirety of the New World?

To be able to mobilize four Twelve Forbidden at once, and Twelve Forbidden who have never shown their faces in the Northern Federation, besides the New World and the Underworld, which other force has this ability?"

"But..."

Zhou Luan interrupted coldly, "Don't 'but'. In the future, don't bring up such unrealistic guesses. It's a waste of time and doesn't mean anything."

"Understood." The burly man nodded, his face red.

As expected, his understanding was too shallow, and he wasn't as smart as the others. He was only suitable for doing work that didn't require much thought.

...

In front of a warm bonfire, Nu Sha and the others sat around, each holding a fragrant grilled fish, eating attentively.

Li Chenqiu squatted by the stream, using a small steel knife to process the crucian carp he had caught from the river.

"Master, the fish you grill is simply too delicious. Can you teach me this grilling skill in the future?" Nu Sha looked up and shouted.

Li Chenqiu grabbed the processed crucian carp, stood up, walked to the bonfire, squatted down, and replied with a smile, "Sure, as long as you're willing to learn."

Nu Sha nodded excitedly, "Thank you, Master. After I learn how to grill fish, I'll open a grilled fish restaurant, and I'll invite you to eat fish for free!"

Shi Xiang, who was eating fish, raised his eyebrows, "You can't even figure out arithmetic, and you want to open a grilled fish restaurant."

Nu Sha straightened his back and said angrily, "Who are you looking down on! Arithmetic can't stump me!"

Shi Xiang raised his head and said, "Okay, then I'll ask you, what is fifty-five multiplied by sixty-seven, multiplied by forty-five, and then multiplied by zero?"

"You...you're deliberately making things difficult for me! Can you figure out such a difficult problem yourself?" Nu Sha looked suspicious.

"I can't figure it out either." Shi Xiang lowered his head speechlessly and continued to gnaw on the fish.

Nu Sha snorted, "Hmph, I knew it!"

After the wine and food were finished, the topic of conversation gradually returned to the main subject under Li Chenqiu's guidance.

"Everyone, I have a piece of news to tell you that I don't know if it's good or bad," Li Chenqiu said seriously.

Jing Cheng raised her eyebrows slightly, "What news?"

Li Chenqiu replied, "Besides us, there may be another major force trying to rescue my boss."

Then, he explained his guess completely.

"So I suspect that the New World may also be planning to rescue my boss," Li Chenqiu's eyebrows drooped slightly, his gaze sweeping across the faces of the four.

Shi Xiang's face bloomed with a smile, "If that's the case, then this operation will be easier. You...Master, can you contact the New World?"

Li Chenqiu's mind moved, and he summoned the New World's Meng Huo from the Ember.

"Master!" Meng Huo knelt on one knee.

Li Chenqiu asked directly, "Do you have a way to contact the New World?"

"The New World has a strict hierarchical system. Each person can only contact their subordinates. All of my subordinates have been wiped out by the Master," Meng Huo said truthfully.

Li Chenqiu frowned, "Can subordinates not contact superiors?"

Meng Huo shook his head, "No, my superior is Mei Ni among the Five Disasters. When she issues tasks to me, she uses a white dove to deliver the message."

"How primitive!"

Li Chenqiu waved his hand and put Meng Huo back into the Ember, turning his head to look at the four people and said, "It seems we can't determine whether the New World will interfere in this matter, and we can't reach a cooperation either."

Jing Cheng supported her chin with the back of her hand, "The person who knows you best is often not your relative, but your enemy. Since the An Unification Department is so wary of the New World, then the latter will definitely take action."

"What you said is right, but before everything is confirmed, we have to prepare for the worst, which is to be isolated and without help," a trace of solemnity flashed between Li Chenqiu's eyebrows.

Gui Hai asked, "Isn't that what we've always been planning for?"

"Not enough. Our current combat power can only be considered to have touched the threshold of success, and we haven't completely stepped into it. It's far from reaching the level where we can rescue my boss even if we are isolated and without help," Li Chenqiu said calmly.

Jing Cheng asked curiously, "Master, what do you want to do?"

"There's still one day left. Let's kill another Twelve Forbidden!" Li Chenqiu's eyes were burning.

The four were stunned. This sentence was very unexpected, but after thinking about it carefully, although there were certain risks, it was indeed feasible.

"After I change my body and reach the Twelve Forbidden, plus the three of them, killing another Twelve Forbidden...won't be difficult," Gui Hai said lightly.

"Once we get another corpse of a Twelve Forbidden, we'll have two people on our side who can touch the threshold of the Thirteen Forbidden. Everyone, is it possible?" Li Chenqiu asked expectantly.
