"Several intelligence officers volunteered to stay behind as sacrificial pawns, while the rest were sent away."
"However, there was already white fog around them at the time, so we just placed them in a safe place."
"As for the other intelligence lines, none of them have been affected in any way."
This result is arguably the best news Qiu Tu has heard in the past few days.
So, although he didn't show it on his face, he felt a slight sense of relief. This meant he was very close to completing his mission.
Thinking this through, Qiu Tu came to his senses and continued to ask, "The second question is, what exactly is the current situation regarding the destruction of the royal court and the destruction of the tyrant?"
At this point, perhaps worried that the question was getting too far-fetched, Qiu Tu paused for a moment and added, "I heard from Ghost Blade that a powerful figure from the 'Immortal Path' has come to 'destroy the Royal Court' recently."
"Is this real or fake?"
Upon hearing Qiu Tu ask this question, the Cloud Cat God King's expression became noticeably serious.
She put her legs down, picked up her pipe, stood up, and said, "It's true."
"Moreover... I can tell you, the person who came wasn't some big shot from the 'Immortal Heavenly Tomb,' but... one of the three giants, the Earth Soul God King."
Upon hearing this name, Qiu Tu's pupils contracted slightly.
'Earth Soul God King?'
Qiu Tu was quite familiar with this name.
Because the "King of Valley Fields" he captured earlier was a loyal follower of the Earth Soul God.
It can be said that among the three immortal giants, Qiu Tu offended this God King the most.
Furthermore, considering that Princess Zetsu offended the "Destroyer Tyrant"...
Their enemies have all gathered together?
This is not good news.
Thinking this, Qiu Tu couldn't help but look at the Cloud Cat God King, then frowned and asked, "What is the Earth Soul God King doing at the 'Destruction Court'?"
"What important matter are they discussing?"
Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Cloud Cat God King visibly paused in his steps.
Qiu Tu keenly noticed the change in her movements, but because it was too short a time, he couldn't figure out what was wrong with her yet.
Because, immediately afterward, Cloud Cat God King answered his question, "The matter they are discussing this time is very important."
Even with my status within the "Kingdom of Destruction," I wouldn't know the details.
All I know is that they seem to be talking about a deal.
"A transaction?" Qiu Tu blinked and looked at Cloud Cat God King.
If Qiu Tu was unaware of why the Cloud Cat God King had shown any unusual behavior, he now had a guess in his mind:
It seems like Cloud Cat God King is deliberately hiding something...
Therefore, Qiu Tu naturally took note of what the Cloud Cat God King said next, but didn't completely believe it...
Cloud Cat Goddess raised her oval face to look at Qiu Tu, and then said seriously, "All I know is that this deal is related to Princess Star Moon."
"And it is very likely to have a huge impact on the entire world order!"
Before Qiu Tu could even react to that familiar name, a pair of golden phoenix eyes slowly lit up in the "Punishment God Realm," carrying a cold scrutiny and indifference—Zhao Ji.
She asked expressionlessly, "Princess Xingyue? Was she the one I killed?"
Because he didn't know the background or mental acuity of the Cloud Cat God King in front of him, Qiu Tu simply gave a soft "hmm" with his mental power, and then continued to ask the Cloud Cat God King, "What's wrong with Princess Xingyue?"

At this point, Qiu Tu paused again, then added casually, "Wasn't Princess Xingyue dead?"
"Does a dead person have much value?"
It seemed that during that pause, the Cloud Cat God King had already decided what to say and what to hide.
Moreover, she is indeed very good at reading people and her methods are very sophisticated.
So, upon hearing Qiu Tu's question, she chuckled twice. Her laughter was crisp and melodious, yet carried a hint of imperceptible aloofness. Holding her pipe, she said with a smile, "Your Excellency's probing is truly childish."
Her alluring peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly, their gaze shifting and swirling, yet they seemed veiled in a thin mist, making them difficult to see clearly.
"We intelligence workers, although we do intelligence work, never believe any intelligence."
Qiu Tu nodded and continued, "After all... we are only responsible for collecting intelligence. Whether the intelligence is true and effective, and how much of a role it plays, is the job of other departments."
The Cloud Cat God King looked at Qiu Tu with his peach blossom eyes and nodded slightly. "Yes. So... only by maintaining skepticism about intelligence can we uncover more useful information."
After this brief introduction, she changed the subject, saying, "The news of Princess Starmoon's death was spread by the Destroyer Tyrant, who intends to use her death to achieve many goals."
"Therefore, the credibility of this death report is extremely low."
Actually, Qiu Tu didn't care what Cloud Cat God King answered. All he wanted was for Cloud Cat God King to pick up on the topic.
Therefore, upon hearing what Cloud Cat God King said, Qiu Tu naturally followed suit.
He said, "So... Princess Xingyue didn't actually die?"
Upon hearing Qiu Tu's question, Zhao Ji in the "Punishment God Realm" looked intently at the Cloud Cat God King, a sharp glint flashing in her golden eyes, eager for a definite answer.
This time, the Cloud Cat Goddess didn't keep her in suspense any longer. She nodded and said, "Yes. She is not dead."
Upon hearing this answer, Qiu Tu's gaze flickered slightly.
Although he had guessed before that the death of "Princess Xingyue" was likely just a frame-up and that Zhao Ji might not have killed "Princess Xingyue", he was still relieved when his guess was actually confirmed.
Although both he and Zhao Ji were rather reckless, superficial feuds are always easier to resolve and deal with than genuine ones.
Just then, the Cloud Cat God Queen added, "Or rather... it's a resurrection."
"Resurrected from the dead?" Qiu Tu's brows furrowed slightly.
Combining the information from before and after, he guessed, "You mean... the Earth Soul God King resurrected Princess Star Moon?"
If this is the outcome, then the situation is back to square one.
As a result, the Cloud Cat God-King shook her head again, saying, "It wasn't her resurrected by the 'Immortal Trio'."
"On the contrary, it is the 'Immortal Triumvirate' who are plotting against her."
"Because... she's a born 'immortal.'"
"She will never die, and even if she does, she will be resurrected very soon."
When he said this, the Cloud Cat God King spoke lightly, as if he were joking, like a feather tickling the air.
After she finished speaking, she returned to her large chair, leaned lazily against the backrest, put the pipe to her lips, took a deep drag, and then gently exhaled.
The next second, wisps of smoke rose up, changing shape before her eyes, sometimes like playful kittens, sometimes like butterflies spreading their wings, just like Qiu Tu's ever-changing, half-believing, half-doubting heart...
'She wasn't lying. Her emotions told me she was serious.'
At that moment, Zhao Ji's cold voice echoed in Qiu Tu's mind.
Qiu Tu remained outwardly calm, but inwardly he looked up at the Cloud Cat God King with some surprise, and then asked, "What is meant by 'undying'? How are they formed?"
Upon hearing this, Cloud Cat God King shrugged and said, "I don't know either."
"My permissions only allow me to access this much information."
Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu frowned slightly and asked, "What is the purpose of the 'Undead'?"
Cloud Cat God King, "He's immortal."
Qiu Tu, "What use would the 'Immortal Trio' have for obtaining immortals?"
Cloud Cat God King took a drag of his cigarette and shook his head indifferently, "I don't know."
Qiu Tu: .....
do not know?
To be honest, even without Zhao Ji's emotional perception abilities, Qiu Tu wouldn't believe what the Cloud Cat God King said.
Qiu Tu suspects that the Cloud Cat God King may know what the "Undead" truly represents, but for some unknown reason, he is deliberately concealing this information...
But... why would she do that? Was it to protect some secret, or was she trying to use it to guide herself to do something else?
Thinking this, Qiu Tu couldn't help but glance at the Cloud Cat God King.
At this moment, the Cloud Cat God-King seemed to have guessed that Qiu Tu had seen through her, but she didn't care at all. Instead, she raised her eyes and looked at Qiu Tu with great interest.
There was a hint of amusement, a touch of provocation, and something else indescribable in his gaze...
Seeing this, Qiu Tu's eyes also became dark and unfathomable.
Qiu Tu didn't actually know much about the Cloud Cat God King in front of him. Especially during her time as the intelligence chief, Qiu Tu knew almost nothing about her.
Without sufficient intelligence, Qiu Tu found it difficult to guess her true purpose and scheme.
However, thanks to his keen sense of intelligence work, Qiu Tu could still vaguely sense that she actually wanted to get involved in this matter.
Coincidentally, Qiu Tu also wanted to get involved in this matter.
In this case, their initial goals were at least aligned.
With that in mind, Qiu Tu pondered for a moment and then came up with an idea.
He looked at the charming little girl in front of him and then said, "Lord Cloud Cat, do you have a way to arrange for me to be by Princess Star Moon's side?"
Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, the Cloud Cat God-King paused slightly before asking with a charming smile, "What? Has Your Excellency become interested in the youngest daughter of the 'Destruction Tyrant'?"
At this point, as if she had just remembered something, her smile became sly. "That's right. She's the daughter of the 'Destroyer Tyrant,' who wouldn't want to have a kiss with her?"
"Whether as friends or enemies..."
Qiu Tu: ....
To be honest, Qiu Tu had never thought of Yunmao Shenwang's idea.
He even thought that a normal intelligence officer, upon hearing his plan, would most likely assume that he wanted to obtain intelligence from the nearest source.
Those who immediately thought of it as something involving women either thought it was... a woman who was very close to Qiu Tu teasing him; or they worried that something might happen between Qiu Tu and Princess Xingyue.
This was the first time Yunmao Shenwang and Qiu Tu had met; they had no prior relationship.
Cloud Cat God King certainly wasn't worried about Qiu Tu getting into trouble because of Princess Xingyue. So the matter is quite simple...
'She has a private relationship with Princess Xingyue? And a good one at that?'
Because her "backside" is different, the "perspective" is off. Or perhaps she's too concerned and makes a mistake, inadvertently revealing her true colors?
Combined with what Qiu Tu had just realized—that the Cloud Cat God King was hiding something—Qiu Tu suddenly felt that everything was getting interesting...
The intelligence chief of the "Temple of Order" had a private relationship with the target's daughter?
This kind of thing can be a big deal or a small deal, depending on how Qiu Tu uses it.
If Qiu Tu was initially only interested in the Cloud Cat God King and wanted to recruit him for his own purposes, but had no clue how to do so...
So now... he feels like he's found a starting point.
Furthermore, the core of the deal and discussion between the "Earth Soul God King," one of the three immortal giants, and the "Destruction Tyrant" is also "Princess Star Moon"...
The core of the whole incident seems to have unknowingly become this girl who was once "killed" by Zehime.
'It seems necessary to make contact with this mysterious girl...'
......
On the night the royal city was destroyed, a blood moon hung high in the sky. The dark red moonlight shone on the grotesque buildings, casting twisted and eerie shadows.
The air was always hazy, and the smell of gunpowder was always present.
Walking on the dilapidated streets of Blackflame City, Qiu Tu and Zhao Ji chatted using their mental powers.
Zhao Ji's eyes were cold and clear, her face expressionless, but her tone carried a hint of doubt, "Why do you admit that you had designs on Princess Xingyue?"
Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu, while admiring the unique night view, asked with a smile, "Did Sister Zhao Ji sense my insincere emotions?"
