Thinking of this, Guan Xiao's heart skipped a beat again.
Because she seemed to have discovered something even more incredible.
If the girl in front of them were truly a goddess, then Qiu Tu and Zhao Ji, both at the god-king level, would surely see through her disguise.
Qiu Tu will definitely explain this directly to himself and his trusted confidants, such as Qing Lan.
However... Qiu Tu didn't say it directly. Moreover, Qing Lan, who was at the Heavenly God realm, didn't notice anything unusual about the girl in front of her.
That means this girl's strength is likely to surpass that of Qiu Tu and Zhao Ji.
This made it perfectly reasonable to have the girl escort them.
Guan Xiao truly lived up to his reputation as Qiu Tu's most trusted and trusted confidant. In the blink of an eye, with just a simple clue, he swiftly analyzed the truth and arrived at a conclusion close to the facts, clearly demonstrating that he had inherited Qiu Tu's true skills.
After analyzing the girl's unusual identity, Guan Xiao naturally understood the purpose of Qiu Tu having Qing Lan pass on that "task" to her.
'It seems... this girl really does have a problem. My next task should be targeting her...'
Although her mind was racing, Guan Xiao maintained a smile and an amazed expression on her face, showing no sign of anything amiss.
Only a woman like Zhiyan, who had stood at the pinnacle of human power for many years, seemed to sense something. She glanced at Guan Xiao strangely, but after finding nothing amiss, she looked away.
Just as the girls were having their own thoughts, Jasmine and Qinglan flew in front of them.
Although Qinglan is extremely talented, she has a very carefree personality. She had already become close with Jasmine back in the "Wine God Kingdom".
So, after bringing Jasmine to the girls, she took the initiative to introduce them.
"This is Jasmine, the boss's maid. The boss sent her to pick us up this time."
The other girls weren't as perceptive as Guan Xiao and Zhiyan, so they didn't notice Jasmine's unusual behavior.
Even Larilu, that optimist, looked Jasmine up and down, a hint of curiosity in her eyes.
Seeing Lari's adorable expression, Jasmine couldn't help but chuckle. However, she didn't directly approach Lari, instead adopting a business-first attitude.
She glanced at the group, smiled sweetly, and then said to everyone, "Since Lord Qiu Tu has entrusted you all to my care, I will lead you safely to your side."
"Are you all ready to rest?"
"Okay, let's go."
The women present had been resting on the spot for several hours. When they heard Jasmine's words, they all responded and then set off.
This group of confidants is divided into several parts. The most important are, of course, the core members such as La Riluo, Guan Xiao, and Zhiyan, mother and daughter; the second is a group of professional intelligence personnel and management talents; and the last is the Iron Women's Army.
Unlike the Iron Women's Army selected in the past, this batch of people are all fakes.
They were a group of "new troops" selected by Guan Xiao and Li Feng from the puppet army, whose abilities could be combined.
This new army, being undead controlled by puppet insects, was used without hesitation; they were used as expendable pawns to protect the intelligence and management personnel.
Because they were all fake humans, under Guan Xiao's "Insect Mother" control, they obeyed orders and were perfectly uniform.
Therefore, although the entire team consisted of thousands of people, they managed to make almost no sound and leave very few traces during their operations.
Jasmine saw this scene clearly, then glanced at Guan Xiao before continuing to lead the way.
It takes about 7 days to travel from the area near "Boundless Heart Sea" to "Dionysus Kingdom".
Now, in this "Current Era of Chaos," both the terrain and one's very nature are likely to change drastically, making the journey theoretically anything but easy. However, under the leadership of Jasmine, the "Witch of Chaos," everything has gone incredibly smoothly. This has greatly eased the anxieties of the girls who were initially somewhat apprehensive.
Even Larilu joked, "I actually believed Qinglan when she described the 'Ancient Continent' as a den of dragons and tigers."
"But looking at it now, it doesn't seem that dangerous after all."
Upon hearing La Riluo's words, Guan Xiao and Heavenly King Zhiyan looked at La Riluo as if she were an idiot.
Guan Xiao nudged La Riluo lightly with her elbow, then whispered, "Don't plant flags for no reason."
The shrewd and worldly-wise Heavenly King Zhiyan glanced at Jasmine and smiled as she smoothed things over, saying, "A true master of war achieves nothing without a glorious victory."
"The absence of enemies and dangers does not mean that the 'Ancient Continent' is safe; this is all thanks to Lady Jasmine."
Hearing the three people's words, Jasmine smiled sweetly, her dimples shallow, looking innocent and harmless. She smiled and said, "It's all just luck."
Although she said that, Jasmine's smile disappeared when she turned her head away.
All of this was not luck, but because of the "Chaotic Era". As the Chaotic Witch who controlled the "Chaotic Path", Jasmine's mental power was greatly enhanced, and she possessed a weakened version of the "Lord of the Region" ability, which allowed her to "see" everything within a thousand miles.
Therefore, from the moment she met the group, she seemed to have a "God's-eye view," knowing everything that happened within a thousand miles. Of course, she could easily avoid all dangers and enemies.
However, because of this, she gradually noticed something was wrong.
In the past few days, some deities have indeed been searching the vicinity for something. And some of them, after discovering Lariro and her group's whereabouts, have even given chase.
It was only because she had the full map cheat activated that she easily bypassed several turns, even turning back to walk a bit further and shaken off those people.
After shaking off these people, Jasmine actually thought it was a coincidence—in the Chaotic Era, it was normal for gods to intercept and kill other gods, so she didn't pay any attention to it.
As more and more people started tracking her, she began to feel uneasy.
Even in the chaotic era, it's somewhat exaggerated to think that hundreds or thousands of gods would be searching for "prey" in the same area.
'Are they all here to ambush and kill Lariel and the others?'
This idea was finally verified when Jasmine entered the "Dionysian Kingdom" within a radius of a thousand miles.
If the hundreds or thousands of gods searching around could be explained as ordinary gods looking for prey, then the presence of several god-kings wandering around the Dionysian Kingdom is completely inexplicable.
'As expected, someone wanted to ambush Lariel and the others.'
Thinking this, Jasmine couldn't help but feel a little curious. Just who was so powerful as to mobilize so many gods to hunt them down?
Then, thinking of Larilu in the group, Jasmine had a sudden idea... How about a beauty rescue? That way, they could get closer to each other?
With that thought in mind, Jasmine suddenly had an idea.
She certainly wasn't so naive as to lead everyone to encounter the God King the moment she was about to rescue another beauty.
Instead, she continued to lead the group through winding paths, bypassing the search of several god-kings, towards the "Kingdom of the God of Wine".
But unlike before, when she would casually erase the traces left by everyone, this time she did not.
So it wasn't long before the gods following behind, along with the god-kings searching everywhere, gradually caught up with the main force. And the encirclement kept narrowing.
Finally, when they were about 300 miles away from the "Kingdom of the God of Wine", the group was caught up by the first God King.
Immediately afterwards, two more god-kings arrived one after another, followed by several more celestial beings.
They surrounded Jasmine, Larilu and their group, then laughed arrogantly.
Jasmine, who was standing at the front of the group, initially looked at them with interest, but after a moment, she suddenly stopped smiling.
"Are you Qiu Tu's confidants?"
"It seems that the rumor was indeed true."
"Perfect timing! Qiu Tu ruined our grand plan for the 'Chaotic Path,' so today we'll use you as our starting point to recoup some interest ahead of schedule!"
As they spoke, the god-kings exchanged glances, their faces already bearing smiles of certainty.
As the god-kings spoke, more and more pursuers arrived. Some of them were celestial gods, some were eighth-order beings, and others were ordinary cataclysmic beings of the fourth or fifth order.
Without exception, they were all... from the Chaos faction.
At this moment, Jasmine's expression turned sour.
She never imagined that being a gossip enthusiast would lead to her own involvement in the gossip.
When she was being tracked by these gods before, she had guessed which side would make the move.
She guessed whether it was the Heavy Stone God King, the Star Forging God King, or of course, her own faction.
However, the "Chaos Faction" was the first group she excluded. She felt that the "Chaos Faction" would have difficulty knowing the whereabouts of Lariel and her group, and would also launch targeted attacks.
Although she'd been proven wrong, she immediately saw through the situation: her faction's brainless gods had most likely been used as pawns once again...
.....
Meanwhile, in the Star Forging Kingdom...
A celestial being hurried up to the main hall, then looked at the Star Forger King seated on the throne and said, "Your Majesty, the plan is progressing smoothly."
"Those few chaotic god-kings who were instigated finally caught up with Qiu Tu's confidants."
"And the other deities whose chaos had been stirred up began to arrive one after another."
"If nothing unexpected happens, Qiu Tu's confidants will most likely not escape."
Upon hearing the words of the celestial being, the Star Forger God King, seated on his throne, responded with a faint, aged voice, offering no further comment.
Upon seeing this, the celestial being quickly bowed and then silently retreated.
After he withdrew, the entire hall returned to darkness and silence once more.
A moment later, a slightly mocking voice rang out from the darkness, "As expected, you're all old foxes."
"The Heavy Stone God King wants to use you to deal with Qiu Tu, like driving a wolf to devour a tiger."
"But you're not stupid either. You know that if you make a move against a trusted confidant of the God-King in your own camp, and the investigation traces back to you, you'll also be put on the defensive."
"So, you might as well have your spies spread the word within the 'Chaos Faction.' Blame Qiu Tu for the Chaos Faction's defeat. Shift the blame."
"The gods of the chaotic faction, the God King, are brainless to begin with. They were easily incited by you and have begun to hold a grudge against Qiu Tu."
"At this time, you should release the news that Qiu Tu's trusted confidants, carrying a large amount of resources such as 'Celestial Rank,' are on their way to join Qiu Tu."
"Hatred, interests."
"Many simple-minded and confused gods and god-kings were also incited by you to start searching for and killing Qiu Tu's group of confidants."
"With this operation, you can perfectly hide behind the scenes and effortlessly kill someone by using another person as a tool."
"If things work out, everything will be great; but even if they don't, you won't lose anything."
"Besides, given how brainless those chaotic gods are, they won't be able to track you down at all."
"Wonderful, wonderful!"
Accompanied by the voice in the darkness, several luminous pearls slowly lit up the dome of the hall, illuminating a figure firmly chained to the ground by four chains in a corner of the hall.
It was none other than the Western God King, Heaven's Wrath, who had been imprisoned by the Star Forger God King.
General Li Feng's father, who was originally one of the Four Great Divine Kings of the "Boundless Heart Sea," now had disheveled hair, tattered clothes, and a pale face. He slumped on the cold floor of the main hall, looking like a beggar.
Upon hearing the words of the Western God King, the Star Forger God King slowly raised his droopy eyelids, glanced at him without joy or sorrow, and said slowly in an aged voice, "Just a trivial skill."
The Star Forger was clearly being modest, but after hearing this, Tiannu laughed along and said, "It is indeed a trivial skill."
"If I could guess all of this, do you think Qiu Tu could too?"
"And... if others can't track it down, does that mean Qiu Tu really can't be tracked down?"
.....
Meanwhile.
Just as Jasmine realized that she was being caught up in the drama and was thinking about how to handle the situation amicably,
Suddenly, several small hills a few kilometers away exploded open, and dozens of figures jumped out from them.
Their aura was so powerful that it seemed to soar into the sky, making them appear like celestial beings!
Along with those dozens of figures, as if receiving a signal, dozens, even hundreds, of figures suddenly appeared from other directions.
Just by observing their aura, one can see that they are all gods and god-kings.
And through those neat and orderly actions, it is clear that they are gods, god-kings, who follow the "path of order".
The sudden change caught everyone present somewhat off guard.
Whether it was Jasmine, Qinglan, and the others, or the Chaos God King and Chaos God who surrounded them, they were all startled.
Especially those chaotic god-kings, the gods had no idea what was happening.
Meanwhile, hundreds of celestial beings, led by several god-kings, were flying swiftly toward the battlefield.
Leading the group were Qiu Tu and the expressionless Zhao Ji...

Having made preparations in advance, Qiu Tu, given his personality, had certainly made thorough arrangements.
