"Come on, call Daddy." Tang Rao said to Zhou Shengdian, "Honor the bet, don't let me look down on you."

Zhou Shengdian's face was full of despair, why did it turn out this way.

How on earth did Tang Rao guess this? This is totally baseless.

Even if he knows Dong Xia, even if he is an old acquaintance of Dong Xia, he couldn't possibly guess what Dong Xia would do.

Unless he had discussed it with Dong Xia.

But that seems unlikely.

"You... still look down on me, right? Well, I don't care about that," Zhou Shengdian pursed his lips and said.

After all, we're cut from the same cloth, what does it matter if you look down on me? In the end, you will still need me. Without me, you can never achieve the Great Perfection Realm.

"You really are shameless," Tang Rao sighed, as he had anticipated this guy would renege.

Zhou Shengdian shrugged, "If you had lost, you would have also reneged."

Tang Rao snorted and did not say much after that; Zhou Shengdian was right, if he had lost, he wouldn't have called Zhou Shengdian Daddy either and would definitely have reneged.

"What you've done really makes me feel your sincerity," said Tang Rao, nodding towards Dong Xia.

"I've said it before, I bear you no ill will, I just want to help you," Dong Xia took a deep breath and said.

The actions of Dong Xia would not directly trigger a war between Giant Merchant Star and the Soul Capture Pavilion. However, Giant Merchant Star would impose some business sanctions on the Soul Capture Pavilion because of it.

Even, if such things happen again, it's not guaranteed that the Giant Merchant Star won't retaliate.

Although there won't be a large-scale confrontation, such sneaky attacks will still severely damage the Soul Capture Pavilion.

Giant Merchant Star is not like Central Emperor Realm; those who control it are all cunning and seasoned people. Not only their powers but their intelligence are also top-notch.

Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to control such a huge commercial behemoth.

"I came to you this time to ask about something. Of course, if possible, I'd like your help," Tang Rao got straight to the point without beating around the bush.

"Go ahead," Dong Xia nodded.

"Speaking of which, if I want someone to become a candidate for the Judge of the Soul Capture Pavilion, what should I do?" Tang Rao asked.

Upon hearing Tang Rao's question, both Dong Xia and Zhou Shengdian were stunned.

What is Tang Rao asking this for?

"First, this person must be from the Soul Capture Pavilion," Dong Xia spoke after a two-second silence.

"Uh-huh, and then?"

"Then, there must be a nomination from a Judge. Each Judge can nominate two candidates, and after the nomination, the Soul Capture Pavilion will conduct an evaluation. If the evaluation is passed, the nominee can become a candidate for Judge," Dong Xia explained.

"I see, you are already a Judge now, help me nominate someone," Tang Rao said with a smile, it seems not so complicated.

"Who?" Dong Xia slightly frowned.

"Bai Ze," Tang Rao uttered two words.

Bai Ze?

Dong Xia was somewhat surprised.

"You've subdued Bai Ze?" Quickly, Dong Xia came to understand. Bai Ze must have submitted already; otherwise, Tang Rao wouldn't be asking him to nominate Bai Ze.

Moreover, a greater likelihood is that Bai Ze has already stepped into the Half-step Great Perfection, and Tang Rao's plan might be to have Bai Ze replace Qin Sheng's position as Judge.

Of course, for Bai Ze to replace Qin Sheng's position, she must not only defeat Qin Sheng but also kill Qin Moyan.

Only then can Bai Ze become the Judge in Qin Sheng's position.

As for Cui Baiyi and Xue Xing, Tang Rao wasn't foolish enough to have Bai Ze kill these two.

Cui Baiyi was only one step away from Great Perfection, capable of breaking through at any moment; as for Xue Xing, this man was mysterious and bizarre, and probably no less dangerous than Cui Baiyi.

So, there was only one option left: Qin Sheng.

"Agreed," Dong Xia nodded. "However, the Soul Capture Pavilion will send someone to assess Bai Ze. Although few people know that you've imprisoned Bai Ze, it's not totally unknown. If they find nothing, then there's definitely no chance."

"You can be assured of that," Tang Rao said while clapping his hands.

"Is there anything else? If not, I will take my leave. This matter is urgent, and I'll start preparations now," Dong Xia stood up and announced.

"No, that's all," Tang Rao shook his head.

"Okay, then I will leave first." Dong Xia nodded and then headed towards the exit.

When he was two or three steps away from the door, Dong Xia suddenly stopped, turned around, and gave Tang Rao a peculiar look.

"Tang Rao, I don't know what your relationship with him is, but don't trust him," Dong Xia pointed at Zhou Shengdian.

Then, he immediately dashed away.

Tang Rao remained silent, as did Zhou Shengdian; the two sat quietly, none of them speaking.

"This woman is really something," finally, Zhou Shengdian spoke, shrugging and smiling. "She's definitely trying to drive a wedge between us, too bad she miscalculated."

"Yes, she miscalculated," Tang Rao narrowed his eyes, and a glint of light flashed between his squinted eyes.

When Tang Rao left Zuixian Building, he swiftly caused an explosion, completely destroying the entire building.

After all, this incident was already blamed on the Soul Capture Pavilion.

…

"Brother Tang, are you there?" After leaving Jiuxian Building, Tang Rao's Illusion City received a message from Mo Xinyu.

Tang Rao checked the time; it was sent just two minutes ago.

"Yes, what's up?" Tang Rao replied.

Just two seconds after replying, Mo Xinyu came online.

"Brother Tang, do you have some time? Could you come to the Defense Bureau? Someone wants to meet you, they hold significant influence. They said they want to invite you to join our Defense Bureau," Mo Xinyu spoke.

Tang Rao hummed in his mind. So, you disbanded the Special Ninth Department just to cut me out, and now you're trying to recruit me? Oh right, you don't know that Tang Laosan is Tang Rao.

Alright, I'll play along then.

"Okay, I'll come over right away. Just wait for me, are you at the Defense Bureau?" Tang Rao asked.

"Yes, I'm right at the entrance," Mo Xinyu replied.

After exiting the Illusion City, Tang Rao turned to Zhou Shengdian; his expression slightly changed.

"Tang Rao, you don't really believe what Dong Xia said, right? She's clearly spouting nonsense, don't be so foolish," Zhou Shengdian observed Tang Rao's expression and couldn't help but say.

"Of course, I didn't pay attention to what she said, because I have never trusted you," Tang Rao shrugged and stated.

"Ha, indeed," Zhou Shengdian laughed.

Tang Rao indeed had never trusted him.

"I have something else to do, I must go now," said Tang Rao, then immediately opened a space rift and stepped through to leave.

Of course, Tang Rao did not believe in this so-called spiritual wisdom, especially after it secretly left his body and turned into Zhou Shengdian, his distrust only intensified.

If they were really meant to coexist, if he really had to rely on this spiritual wisdom to enter Great Perfection.

Then what about the spiritual wisdom? Could it achieve its Great Perfection by devouring him as well?
