Then let them offer their loyalty!

"To hone their skills and enhance their qualifications, Prince Kang sent them to the 8th Sanctuary, promoting them one rank and assigning them to lead teams to help establish the 'Officers' Academy.'"

"As a result... just as the construction was completed and they were about to return to Shelter No. 6, Ellie's parents went out on a mission with Elder Pang, but they suddenly encountered an accident."

"At the time, the response from the 8th shelter was that they had been attacked by an evil god. Several people were no match for it and died. Even Old Pang lost an arm before he escaped."

"But..." Princess Xi's tone shifted, her expression turning serious as she continued, "Afterwards, Prince Kang used a 'Special Cataclysmic Artifact' to perform divination, discovering that the operation itself was a setup, and that there was something wrong with it."

"Although the divination results do not directly point to Elder Pang, Elder Pang is indeed the most suspicious."

"After all, with Ellie's parents gone, King Kang has two fewer cards to play in keeping the Kou family in check."

"But for the Kou family, and for Elder Pang, whose political stance differs from that of Prince Kang, this is a good thing."

After listening to Princess Xi's analysis, Qiu Tu nodded slightly, gaining a clearer understanding of the grudges from back then.

To be honest, he had never known that the head of the "academic faction," Elder Pang, would have such a clear political stance.

Based on this, he should have a closer relationship with Hu Jintao, the leader of the "liberal democrats".

After finishing his conversation with Princess Xi, and agreeing to meet again in his dreams the night after tomorrow, Qiu Tu left the dream.

As Qiu Tu's figure slowly disappeared, Princess Xi, sitting upright in the main seat, was somewhat lost in thought.

The vast, empty dream palace was eerily quiet. Its opulent splendor was devoid of any sign of life.

Princess Xi watched Qiu Tu leave, sat quietly for a long, long time, and finally sighed softly before leaving the dream space as well...

.....

Back in the real world, Qiu Tu got out of bed, put on his clothes, lit a cigarette, and went to the balcony.

Leaning on the railing, Qiu Tu smoked a cigarette while gazing at the scenery outside the window.

To be honest, Qiu Tu didn't notice anything amiss during his normal conversation with Princess Xi.

Even when Qiu Tu tricked her and claimed she was a member of the "Mist Hidden Society," Princess Xi's reaction was flawless.

However... perhaps having lived two lives and witnessed too much deceit and treachery around him, Qiu Tu still harbored many doubts about Princess Xi.

'It seems...we need to look at this from a different perspective.'

Thinking this, Qiu Tu flicked away his cigarette butt, then picked up his communicator, made a call to Yu Die, and then summoned Zhu Huoyan to assign tasks.

After doing all this, Qiu Tu checked the time. It was already midnight. He decided not to sleep. Instead, he took out the "Cataclysmic Equation Set" of "Ever-Changing Invisibility" that La Riluo had given him and began to try to analyze the "Equation Set" and try to obtain this "Universal Cataclysmic Ability".

As it turned out, whether it was due to a genuine lack of talent or because this cataclysmic ability was actually quite powerful and complex, Qiu Tu made no progress until 4 a.m.

Enraged, Qiu Tu ran straight to Guan Xiao's room.

While Qiu Tu was working hard, at 5 a.m., the Dongyezhou Security Bureau prison was attacked by disaster attackers.

The Security Bureau was in chaos. Vice Speaker Yudie personally intervened, killing several invading Cataclysms and quelling the situation. However, she discovered that Muye, who was being held in the Security Bureau's prison, had disappeared without a trace.

At 6 a.m., Speaker Qiu Tu rushed to the Dongye State Assembly, gave Yu Die a stern lecture, and ordered the Security Bureau and the security offices and political departments of various cities to immediately launch a comprehensive investigation and make sure to arrest Mu Ye.

This also led to news of Mu Ye's escape spreading quickly through various channels throughout Dongye State and New State cities...

It was at this moment that Qiu Tu quietly took out his "No-Fake Person" and pretended to be working in the office.

His true form, however, used his third ability, "Punishment Domain," to transform into the appearance of "Twilight," and traveled to New State via the regional portal established by Lariluo between the "Eastern City Region" and the "Eternal Night Region"...

......

New South Wales - Trade Market.

That intelligence hut.

The shadowy figure was talking to the "messenger" of the night.

"The lord sent word that the Dongye Prefecture Security Bureau was attacked last night, and Lord Muye appears to have escaped."

"However, it's uncertain whether Qiu Tu is deliberately creating a diversion to lure us in, so he's telling us not to act rashly and to wait quietly for Lord Mu Ye to contact us."

Hearing the shadowy figure's words, the messenger nodded and said, "It is indeed not advisable to act rashly now. Huang Shangzong has clearly gone mad, directly imposing high-pressure control on 13 cities."

"Tang Feifei even commanded soldiers to patrol the streets at all times."

"We've just lost a lot of men, so it's really not wise to make any more moves."

"Lord Twilight has a special way of contacting us. If he really returns to New Jersey..."

Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly stopped abruptly, as if he had received some kind of signal.

A moment later, he looked at the shadowy figure with a look of surprise and said, "Lord Muye has really returned."

Upon hearing the messenger's words, the shadowy figure did not show much joy.

He said, "Now that Lord Muye has returned, I shall take my leave. As messengers, we can only meet with our own lords."

"If I receive any news from that person, I will contact you again."

After saying that, the dark figure vanished silently from the spot, as if it had never existed.

Clearly... he was also a messenger.

Seeing the dark figure slowly disappear, the messenger of Twilight paid no heed. He closed his eyes, subtly sensed "Twilight's" location, then took out his communicator and began to notify Twilight's followers to go and meet him...

.....

at the same time.

Dongyezhou - Dongcheng City.

The speaker's office door was being knocked on.

Qiu Tu (Bu Gou Jia Ren), who had been hanging his head and not moving, seemed to be startled awake and suddenly raised his head.

He then coughed lightly and called out towards the office door, "Come in."

A moment later, the office door was pushed open.

Tao Yaoyao walked in quickly and came to Qiu Tu's side. Then she whispered, "Speaker, Lord Kou Yu said he has come to visit you and has something to discuss with you."

"Kou Yu?" Qiu Tu was taken aback.

Kou Yu's status was actually almost equal to Qiu Tu's, at most one and a half ranks higher. So it was quite proper for him to come and visit.

Thinking this, Qiu Tu got up and went outside.

Once outside, Kou Yu and his entourage stood there arrogantly, still displaying their usual domineering and arrogant demeanor.

Upon seeing Qiu Tu, Kou Yu's gaze lingered on Qiu Tu for a moment, he nodded slightly, and then said with a touch of arrogance, "Chairman Qiu, I have something I'd like to discuss with you."

Seeing this, Qiu Tu nodded slightly. "Alright. Please come into the office."

After saying that, Qiu Tu led Kou Yu to his office...

........

at the same time.

New South Wales - Trade Market.

Qiu Tu, disguised as Mu Ye, is hiding in a patch of grass, quietly waiting for Mu Ye's messenger and believers to come and take him away.

According to the information provided by Mu Ye in the past few days, he has a large number of followers because of his special abilities.

His most trusted advisor was his bishop.

According to Mu Ye, his bishop was someone he had personally trained, essentially his chief steward.

Whatever happened within his sect, the bishop handled it all perfectly. He had the bishop's utmost trust.

In contrast, the messenger was sent by the "Hidden Mist Society," and... after getting to know him, Mu Ye always felt that the messenger was a bit strange, so their relationship was just so-so.

Within the entire cult system of Twilight Night, Twilight Night is the unique and supreme being. Furthermore, given the sudden upheaval within Twilight Night, theoretically, Qiu Tu can do whatever he wants. No one can expose him.

This made Qiu Tu look forward to this brief experience.

Just then, as Qiu Tu was thinking this, several people silently rushed over from a distance.

The two leaders were both men.

A gaunt man, his face deathly pale, looking somewhat malnourished, appeared. He was none other than the messenger who had spoken with the shadowy figure earlier.

The other was a man who looked to be in his thirties, with a goatee, and who appeared cunning and sinister at first glance. He was clearly the "Bishop".

Before long, the group rushed to Qiu Tu's side.

Upon seeing Qiu Tu, the others, apart from the messenger, were clearly overjoyed, and their eyes were all red-rimmed.

Clearly... they have a genuine faith in and worship of the night.

Thinking this, Qiu Tu, mimicking Mu Ye's expectations, said in a low voice, "What are you crying about? I'm back now."

After saying that, Qiu Tu looked at the messenger and said, "I need to speak with Lord Yaksha now to report important intelligence."

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, the messenger remained silent for a moment before asking, "What important intelligence?"

Qiu Tu said, "Leyline Blossom. The precious Cataclysm material I discovered before was a 'Leyline Blossom.'"

"Qiu Tu pried open my mouth and obtained all the information about the 'Earth's Vein Flower' from me."

"Then, together with Zehime, they stole the 'Legacy Flower'."

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, the messenger slowly said, "Lord Yaksha already knows this information."

"She's on her way now."

Upon hearing the believer's words, Qiu Tu's pupils contracted slightly.

His purpose in impersonating Mu Ye was to extract information.

Unexpectedly, they received important information right away.

Yaksha... The sixth-order evil god Yaksha actually came to Dongye Prefecture because of the "Earth Vein Flower"?

Chapter 502 Princess Xi plots to murder Prince Kang? (Thanks to the guild leader "Don't Sink Anymore"!)

Thinking this, Qiu Tu couldn't help but recall the situation of Yaksha.

Based on the information Qiu Tu obtained from interrogating Mu Ye over the past two days.

The "Hidden Mist Society" is a secret organization within the "Boundless Heart Sea - Core Area." They likely control considerable resources within the "Core Area."

Among them... is the special catastrophe material "Yamane" produced from the "core area." (Chapter 465)

Because the greatest function of the "Shan Gen" is to allow creatures to bypass the restrictions of advancing to the 6th tier, the "Mist Hidden Society" usually secretly transports the "Shan Gen" out of the core area after obtaining it to help their members advance.

As for the method of transportation, it's quite simple—even Zhao Ji failed to advance and returned to the 8th Sanctuary. So, the fifth-tier peak evil god of the "Mist Hidden Society" could obviously enter the "core area" first and then return to the edge area to advance.

Or... they might simply be people trained by the Hidden Mist Society in the "core area," and after obtaining the Yama-no-Kami (the bridge of the nose), they leave the "core area" and go to the peripheral area to advance further.

"Yaksha" is the latter, while "Beauty Wind," the second 6th-tier member of the "Hidden Mist Society" in the peripheral area, is the former.

According to "Twilight", "Yaksha" comes from the "core area" and has unfathomable strength. He is the person in charge of the "Mist Hidden Society" in the peripheral area.

Many members of the "Hidden Mist Society" were recruited by "Yasha". Even "Beauty Wind" was handpicked by "Yasha" as his deputy.

Generally, after joining the "Mist Shadow Society," members will receive regular support and assistance. If a member is found to have potential, the "Mist Shadow Society" will also allocate more resources to them.

Once members have been trained to the peak of the fifth rank, the "Mist Shadow Society" will assess their potential.

If a member has exceptional potential, or even just average potential, they will be assigned to the "core area" to supplement the organization.

Some outstanding, but not so outstanding, members will be given the title "Yamane" after consulting with the area manager and the member in question, allowing them to stay in the peripheral area to help the manager.

According to Mu Ye's own estimation, his ranking in the "Mist Hidden Society" should fall within this range.

In fact, because of his unique catastrophe capabilities, he is also very competitive.

Meanwhile, "Yaksha" mentioned that she would consider asking the organization to make "Twilight" her second deputy and have her stationed at the border of the 8th Sanctuary.

With the presence of a 6th-tier evil god, the expansion space of the 8th Sanctuary is completely locked, and it will no longer expand without limit as it does now.

For this reason, "Twilight" and "Yaksha" have a good relationship, and he even took the initiative to meet with "Yaksha" several times.

According to "Twilight", "Yaksha" sounds powerful and imposing, but in reality... he's just a child.

In human terms, she's a little girl.

She is 1.34 meters tall and has an average figure, but she is exquisitely beautiful and very cute.
