Then let them offer their loyalty!

Meanwhile.

Just as undercurrents were surging across the entire ancient continent.

Qiu Tu had just crawled out of the underground Sand Palace.

Just as Qiu Tu climbed out of the Sand Palace, he received a message from Elena.

The message was simple: it informed Qiu Tu that another god-king had emerged on the path to supreme power, and that Qiu Tu should immediately return to the "Wine God Kingdom" to discuss the impact of this matter.

After reading the message, Qiu Tu didn't show much surprise.

Embarking on the path to the highest realm is tantamount to directly inscribing one's name on the very origin of the world, making it impossible to conceal.

It's perfectly normal that high-ranking gods from all walks of life tried their best to find this person as soon as possible.

However... Qiu Tu has no intention of returning to the "Kingdom of Wine".

Because he knew the outcome of the meeting without returning to the "Dionysian Kingdom": nothing more than waiting and seeing, or searching silently.

Or rather, most of the six major powers would make this choice.

However, a single power would not be so peaceful.

Thinking this, Qiu Tu's gaze drifted towards the direction where the Destroyer's Court was located...

That was the eye of the storm, and also the most dangerous place.

But as the saying goes, the most dangerous place is often the safest.

Now, Zhao Ji is at a crucial stage in her breakthrough and must not be disturbed.

Every day I help her delay, her strength may undergo a dramatic change.

The best way to buy time for Zehime is to sneak into the eye of the storm, know your enemy and yourself, and then you can thwart their plans.

The method of infiltration is also quite simple...

Since I can become the Cloud Cat God King once, then of course I can become it a second time!

Last time, Princess Huiming noticed her abnormality, but this time... Zhao Ji helped her conceal her aura and the cause of her death.

With that thought in mind, Qiu Tu no longer hesitated. He transformed into a barely perceptible streak of light and silently made his way towards the outskirts of the Destroyer Royal Court.

With the "Destruction Tyrant" personally overseeing the area, the Destruction Royal Court can be considered the safest place on the entire "Eternal Continent".

Therefore, after the "Destruction Royal Court" settled in the western part of the "Ancient Continent", it quickly replaced the "Destruction Path" as the central force in the "West".

After several months of development, more and more deities of destruction began to live near the "Destruction Royal Court".

So, Qiu Tu didn't spend much time finding a lone God King of Destruction in a valley on the outskirts of the "Destruction Royal Court".

The space of order unfolds, suppresses, and takes into the "Divine Realm of Punishment".

In just a few minutes, a figure exactly like the previous god-king emerged from the valley.

He straightened his robes and then swaggered off toward the Court of Destruction.

Chapter 949 Cloud Cat: Qiu Tu! You're here again! (Seeking monthly votes)

Having visited the Destruction Royal Court so many times recently that it's practically become his home, Qiu Tu easily found his way to Blackflame City near the prison city after infiltrating the Destruction Royal Court.

Upon arriving in this city where he had once met with the Cloud Cat God King, Qiu Tu did not rush into action. Instead, he took advantage of the darkness to find a bar in Black Flame City and sat down.

Qiu Tu took out a few "Destroy the Royal City" crystals from his transformed God King pocket, ordered a strong "Lava Roast" drink, and sipped it casually while quietly spreading his mental energy to catch the conversations around him.

This "Doomsday Paradise" is one of the largest bars in Blackflame City, a gathering place for the gods of destruction to seek pleasure.

In addition, Blackflame City is closest to the Shadow Division's base prison city, so it is a place where all sorts of people mingle, making it the easiest place to obtain intelligence.

So, before long, Qiu Tu, amidst the pungent smell of sulfur mixed with strong liquor in the air, obtained some useful information.

"Have you heard? His Majesty's fury yesterday, which nearly destroyed the world, is said to be because someone has embarked on his 'path to supremacy'."

A one-eyed dragon god with a face full of scars took a big gulp of wine, his voice low, but he couldn't hide his excitement.

"Nonsense. Everyone knows that."

Another tall, thin god chimed in,

"At first, the 'Royal Court' tried to suppress the news and cover it up. But within a day, the news had spread through all six channels."

"We were actually the last to know about the route."

At this point, the tall, thin god took a big gulp of wine and then said drunkenly, "And... I heard that the Shadow Department has already made a move, and seven or eight guardian god kings have been summoned for a personal talk."

"It's said that... they've all heard His Majesty preach and are suspected of embarking on the path to supreme power. They're being investigated one by one!"

Upon hearing the words of the tall, thin deity, the one-eyed deity's one eye gleamed slightly. "Really? That's going to be interesting!"

“I remember that the ‘Burning Earth God King’ a hundred years ago and the ‘Black Abyss God King’ fifty years ago both heard His Majesty’s sermons.”

"These are all top figures among the guardian gods, each with a fiery temper. Does the Shadow Division dare to investigate them?"

The tall, thin god said, "Hmph, what wouldn't the Shadow Division dare to do? This is His Majesty's will! Don't even mention them, even a high-ranking god-king who steals His Majesty's path to supreme power must die!"

The one-eyed dragon god clicked his tongue and said, "But His Majesty is really something."

"If you don't want others to follow your path to supreme enlightenment, why preach in public?"

"But now it has turned out like this."

Upon hearing the one-eyed celestial being's words, the tall, thin celestial being instantly sobered up. He lowered his voice and said, "Shut up! Are you out of your mind!"

The gods who follow the path of destruction are mostly rough and straightforward, unable to keep secrets, and with the added stimulation of alcohol, information comes very quickly.

Qiu Tu calmly took a sip of wine, the spicy liquid sliding down his throat like a burning fire. But his heart remained as calm as an ancient well, his mind racing.

The Destroyer Tyrant was indeed enraged by Zhao Ji's ascension to the supreme path, but he did not begin to investigate her because of it.

Instead, they were actually investigating other people who had listened to the sermon, the Destruction God-King?

Qiu Tu frowned slightly: This isn't right....

Given Princess Huiming's cunning and shrewdness, how could she not guess that it was Consort Zhao right after she took the "Tracing Stone" from her?

After all... what are the chances of such a coincidence?

So... could it be that Princess Huiming covered for me?

When the idea first popped into Qiu Tu's head, he himself found it somewhat absurd.

It's normal for the Witch of Chaos not to reveal her and Zhao Ji's identities, given their close relationship and the fact that she seems to have some other schemes.

But why doesn't Princess Huiming reveal herself?

Surely it's not that they're after my "loyalty"?

Qiu Tu picked up his wine glass and blinked his eyes in a daze.

So, it wasn't Princess Huiming who used her beauty to seduce him, but rather he who used her beauty to seduce her?

After taking a sip of the cold liquor, Qiu Tu cleared his head and put away his joking mood, then re-analyzed the situation.

During this time, Qiu Tu had many interactions with Princess Huiming and even lived with her at close range for a few days, so he already had a clear understanding of her.

This is a typical political creature. Emotions, physical intimacy, and beauty are the least important things to her. Only self-interest can truly move her.

Therefore, there must be something I'm unaware of. The interests of the Radiant Princess and the Destructive Tyrant were not aligned, which led to this outcome.

Thinking this, Qiu Tu's eyes lit up: It seems that... even though the Destroyer Royal Court is a "family-run" state, it is not a monolithic entity.

In that case... perhaps I can make a move on this matter?

With that in mind, Qiu Tu downed the rest of his "Lava Burn" in one gulp and prepared to execute the next step of his plan.

He left the bar and then quietly arrived near the prison city to relieve the lone Shadow Division members.

Qiu Tu's current strength has reached the level of a Guardian God King. Unless a high-level God King comes in person, other God Kings are almost no match for him.

So, Qiu Tu quickly found an opportunity and captured a lone member of the Shadow Division.

Without the slightest hesitation, the space of order unfolded, suppressing and confining the sins to the realm of divine punishment.

Within a minute, another figure emerged from the shadows—a God-King whose height, appearance, aura, and even gait were exactly the same as the previous Shadow Division member.

After glancing at the prison city, Qiu Tu straightened his black robe, a familiar smile curving his lips, and then swaggered towards the prison city.

Qiu Tu was impersonating a member of the Shadow Department named Bai Xiang, who was a member of the "Shadow Department - External Intelligence Division - Life Camp Division".

Perhaps because this department was relatively relaxed and low-pressure, he was very popular. So, as Qiu Tu entered the prison city, members of the Shadow Division kept greeting him along the way.

"Hey, Baixiang, here to change shifts? The adults have been in a bad mood these past few days, so be careful."

"Bai Xiang, did you manage to get your hands on that thing we talked about last time? The price is negotiable!"

Qiu Tu nodded with a smile, responding vaguely with fragments of information gleaned from Bai Xiang's memories, while discreetly observing his surroundings.

Perhaps due to the tyrant's wrath, the prison city was far busier than usual. Shadow members were hurrying about everywhere, and the automatically operating destruction arrays were running.

Seeing this, Qiu Tu did not act rashly, but instead played the role of Bai Xiang, handling daily trivial tasks while looking for an opportunity to be alone with the Cloud Cat God King.

He worked tirelessly all night, until the sun began to rise in the west at dawn. Qiu Tu finally got his chance.

The leader of Baixiang instructed Baixiang to urgently submit an expedited document about the "Life Camp" to the "Silver-Masked God King" for his personal review.

So Qiu Tu accepted the task without hesitation.

Entering the prison tower with practiced ease, and after verifying his identity, Qiu Tu quickly arrived at the "Silver-Masked God King's" quarters...

.......

"My lord, this is urgent intelligence regarding the 'Life Faction.' Intelligence agents from the 'Life Faction' have contacted us, saying that a Your Majesty is preparing to visit the 'Royal Court.'"

"The specific reasons and purposes are unknown. But His Majesty is already on his way, and it seems he will not accept our refusal."

At this moment, the Cloud Cat God King was looking at the documents with a furrowed brow, as if he had an unresolved worry.

Hearing Qiu Tu's report, she didn't even look up, simply replying, "Just put it there."

"Yes."

Qiu Tu responded, walked to the Cloud Cat God King's side, and gently placed the document in his hand on the desk.

After doing all this, he did not immediately leave like the other members of the Shadow Division, but stood quietly in place without saying a word.

The study fell silent for a moment, with only Cloud Cat God King quietly looking at the documents in his hands.

Time passed by, second by second.

After a moment, Cloud Cat God King took a deep breath, then threw the documents directly onto the table, a hint of annoyance flashing in his eyes behind the silver mask.

Then, suddenly, she froze, sensing that something was wrong.

Why... is there someone standing next to me?

Didn't I just tell him to leave?

Moreover, for some reason, Cloud Cat God Queen always felt that there was a faint sense of oppression in the air that made her heart palpitate.

Thinking this, Cloud Cat God King couldn't help but look up at the "Shadow Division member" beside him.

At that moment, the "Shadow Division member" revealed a playful smile that was all too familiar to the Cloud Cat God King.

The moment he saw that familiar smile, the Cloud Cat God King's fur stood on end!

She knew that smile all too well! This is...

Before the name could fully surface in her mind, a familiar force of control, so familiar that it made her soul tremble, like an invisible giant hand, instantly gripped her soul!

The next second, everything went black before her eyes, and she completely lost consciousness.

In the instant her consciousness faded, only one thought remained in her mind: Qiu Tu?! Here he comes again?!

……

Punishment God Realm.

Under the dark sky, there was endless lava and rising heat.

When the Cloud Cat God Queen opened her eyes again, what she saw was this scene that filled her with despair.

Even though Qiu Tu had erased her memories of the "Punishment God Realm" last time, that time was probably too unforgettable, so when she reappeared here, she still felt incredibly familiar and terrified.

So, she instinctively struggled to escape.
