Then let them offer their loyalty!

She blinked, her round cat-like eyes seeming to speak volumes. "Who gave the order...don't you know the answer?"

"In the entire temple, how many people can truly influence the fate of our guardian god-king?"

Her words were perfectly worded, offering neither a direct answer nor too many hints to Qiu Tu.

Qiu Tu's mind raced, and in an instant, a name popped into his head.

Mitchell. One of the four great masters of the temple.

This is also the culprit behind Qiu Tu's forced deployment to rebuild the intelligence network.

However, what Qiu Tu didn't expect was that he originally thought the Mitchell faction had laid a large net in the "Immortal Heavenly Tomb" for him to fall into. He thought that he could avoid their conspiracy by running to the "Destruction Royal Court".

As it turned out, the other party not only did not give up, but instead chased after him to kill him... and even gave the Cloud Cat God King the order to kill him.

'This is truly a fight to the death...'

To be honest, Qiu Tu is not a vengeful person.

Like when he was in elementary school in his previous life, he didn't care at all about his deskmate stealing an eraser from him.

But... Mitchell's relentless pursuit and killing was something Qiu Tu couldn't afford to forget.

'It seems... after resolving the "Destruction of the Royal Court" issue and raising Sister Zhaoji, the first thing to do is to find a way to eliminate the Mitchell faction...'

As for whether Cloud Cat God King is lying to himself, or just trying to find some excuse to distract Qiu Tu?

Don't forget that Zhao Ji has been using "Absolute Perception" the whole time, sensing the emotions of the Cloud Cat God King.

When Cloud Cat God King said these words, she felt only honesty and schadenfreude.

Just as Qiu Tu was carefully trying to understand the emotions Zhao Ji was feeling, he suddenly let out a soft "Eh."

Because he discovered that... although Mitchell was exposed on Yunmao,... there was still a sense of "concealment".

This shows that, in fact, Mitchell's instruction to Yunmao to betray Qiu Tu was not her biggest secret.

To be honest, at that moment, Qiu Tu felt like he was facing an onion, peeling back layer by layer to find countless secrets hidden inside.

At that moment, just as Qiu Tu was thinking this, Zhao Ji clearly also noticed that something was wrong with the Cloud Cat God King.

“King Mitchell? I understand.”

She released Cloud Cat God King's hand, then gently pushed him, creating an ambiguous distance between them.

Seeing this, the Cloud Cat Goddess was not annoyed. She smiled, took two puffs of her pipe, and then said...

"You guessed it yourself, I didn't tell you."

After speaking, she paused for a moment, then said, "Since the Special Envoy knows everything, then..."

However, before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted again by Zhao Ji.

"Wait a minute. I think you're hiding something."

Zhao Ji's voice remained cold and imposing, carrying an undeniable sense of pressure. Combined with the silver mask on her face, it even gave off a chilling feeling.

She looked at the Cloud Cat God King, her cold gaze sharp, "What exactly are you hiding?"

"You just said that you and Xingyue have some kind of relationship. She is very important to you."

"Even... what I just said about one body with two souls was actually correct."

"What does this mean? Is it related to you betraying me?"

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, the Cloud Cat God King slowly wiped the smile off his face.

The languidness and charm on her face had vanished, replaced by a more complex turbulent emotion.

She didn't speak immediately, but instead put the long pipe in her mouth, took a deep drag, and then raised her small, delicate face. Her round cat-like eyes gazed at the eternal dark red sky above the purgatory space, as if she were reminiscing or sorting out a heavy past.

After a moment, she spoke, "Actually... I made a pact with a God of Destruction."

"A contract?" Zhao Ji asked coldly. "What kind of contract?"

Upon hearing this, the Cloud Cat God King looked at Zhao Ji and said in a hoarse voice, "A contract of life and death, fusion of bodies, sharing of memories, and sharing of life."

Zhao Ji was clearly taken aback for a moment, then continued to ask, "Who?"

She guessed, "A destructive tyrant?"

The Cloud Cat God King gave a wry smile and gently shook his head. "No, I think she's even more terrifying than the 'Destruction Tyrant.'"

Since things had come to this point, the Cloud Cat God-King no longer held back, "The first child of the Destruction Tyrant, the successor of the royal court, and also... the third high-ranking God-King of the 'Destruction Path': the First Princess..."

Upon hearing Cloud Cat God King's words, Zhao Ji hadn't reacted yet, but Qiu Tu's brows furrowed slightly, his eyes filled with thoughtful expression...

The eldest princess?

Qiu Tu seemed to have seen her information and had also heard about her from Wei Lin... (Chapter 877)

Chapter 888 The Terrifying Beauty of the First Princess... (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Thinking this, Qiu Tu couldn't help but start searching through his memories, trying to recall everything about the eldest princess.

He quickly pieced together all the information about the eldest princess from the intelligence and files of the "Temple of Order" and from Wei Lin's interrogation.

The eldest princess, also known as Princess Radiant Fate, and Radiant Fate God-King, is the first and most talented child of the Destruction Tyrant.

The Destroyer Royal Court has four high-ranking God-Kings. In order of their promotion, they are Tyrant, Flame Hao, Radiant Life, and Lillard.

The Destruction Tyrant was not only the first high-ranking god-king of the "Path of Destruction," but also the founder of the "Court of Destruction."

However... compared to him, Yan Hao, the second high-level god-king of the "Path of Destruction," is also exceptionally talented.

Therefore, when Yan Hao advanced to the level of a high-level God King, the status of the "Destruction Tyrant" was immediately greatly impacted.

Furthermore, since the "Destruction Tyrant" calls itself a "tyrant," its personality is naturally tyrannical and unpredictable. Therefore, the "Destruction Path" quickly fell into division.

Thus, the "Path of Destruction" split for many years, with the two kings fighting each other and neither willing to concede defeat.

Due to severe internal strife, during that period, the "Destruction Path" became the weakest of the three major paths.

Everything changed with the birth of the eldest princess.

According to intelligence and rumors, when the eldest princess was born, strange phenomena appeared in the sky: the sun shone brightly into the palace, and purple clouds stretched for three thousand miles.

Subsequently, the eldest princess was born.

She displayed extraordinary talent from birth. Born a primordial deity, she ascended to the celestial god realm at the age of twelve and broke through to the god-king realm at the age of twenty.

After that, she began to solidify her foundation and refine her base. At the age of twenty-nine, when she was at the peak of her divine state, she was promoted to Guardian God King.

After becoming the Guardian God-King, the eldest princess began to demonstrate her extraordinary political talent.

She officially began to participate in the governance and decision-making of the "Destruction Court" and began to integrate the power of the "Destruction Path".

With her assistance, the "Destruction Royal Court" grew very powerful, gradually overshadowing the Yanhao God King's lineage.

The Yanhao God King lineage could not solidify its strength by "destroying the royal court," so it gradually began to stir.

Just as the entire ancient world was watching to see when this internal war within the "Path of Destruction" would occur, the First Princess suddenly made a decision that surprised everyone.

She traveled alone, dressed in black, to meet with the God-King Yan Hao.

No one knows what she said at the time. Some guessed she ceded the benefits of "Destroying the Royal Court" in exchange for delaying tactics from the Flame King; others guessed she displayed her talent, letting the Flame King know she possessed the abilities of a high-level God-King; still others guessed she defeated the Flame King with her Guardian God-King body...

In short, after this mission, the God-King Yanhao suddenly chose to reconcile with the "Destruction Tyrant" and acknowledged the Destruction Tyrant's kingly status in the "Path of Destruction".

Ten years later, the eldest princess successfully broke through to the advanced god-king level and became the third advanced god-king of the "path of destruction".

The existence of two kings in one family completely solidified the "Destruction Tyrant" lineage's dominant position in the "Path of Destruction." As a result, the Yanhao God King lineage was completely incorporated into the "Destruction Royal Court."

Afterwards, the Yanhao God King's faction was stripped of its military power by the First Princess, who used a cup of wine to release them from their command, thus completely losing their authority.

However, whether it was due to the promise made back then or not, the Yanhao God King and his close confidants held a transcendent position in the "Destruction Court," obeying orders but not summons.

After that, the eldest princess's influence gradually permeated all aspects of the "Destroy the Royal Court".

There was once a widely circulated saying in the destroyed royal court: "The tyrant is like a true dragon, and the princess is a hidden dragon."

The true dragon soars in the sky, its might overwhelming the four seas, while the hidden dragon lies in the abyss, its depths unfathomable. If the tyrant of destruction is the nominal captain of the royal court, then the eldest princess is the actual helmsman.

The First Princess played a crucial role in enabling the Destruction Tyrant to wield absolute influence along the "Destruction Path".

She not only made up for many of the flaws in the personality of the Destroyer Tyrant, but also used an iron-fisted approach to firmly control the "Path of Destruction," which should have been loose.

Therefore, whether in the information from the "Temple" or in Wei Lin's memories, the eldest princess is a terrifying existence.

The Cloud Cat God King's statement that she was more terrifying than the Destroyer Tyrant was not an exaggeration.

Even if Qiu Tu had to choose, he would rather confront the "Destroyer Tyrant" head-on than fight this unfathomable princess.

Thinking this, Qiu Tu's gaze darkened slightly.

If the Cloud Cat God King is indeed related to the First Princess, then he has likely already entered the sights of that Abyss Crocodile.

Although he didn't know why the other party hadn't attacked him, it still indicated that his current situation was extremely dangerous.

Thinking this, Qiu Tu calmed himself down again and continued to look at Zhao Ji's memories.

As early as when Qiu Tu arrived at Zhao Ji's side with the help of the Dark Soldiers, he noticed that Zhao Ji was somewhat hesitant or acting strangely.

This likely means that the Cloud Cat God King said something that made Zhao Ji even more confused.

Sure enough... just as Qiu Tu was thinking this, Zhao Ji also coldly asked, "The First Princess?"

What's going on between you two?

Judging from Zhao Ji's relatively indifferent reaction, Qiu Tu felt that Zhao Ji probably didn't know about the eldest princess.

However, this does not affect Cloud Cat God King's answer.

After the hidden secret was discovered, she seemed to feel completely liberated.

She sat on the obsidian, placing the exquisite pipe to her lips but not lighting it, only unconsciously stroking the cool stem with her fingertips. Then, with a hint of reminiscence in her eyes, she said...

"With your abilities, you should have already reviewed and analyzed my information."

"Then you should also know that I have never been a good person at intelligence work."

Her voice carried a hint of self-mockery: "What I enjoy is fighting, twisting the enemy's head off and kicking it like a ball. Or going deep behind enemy lines and taking the enemy's head amidst a sea of ​​soldiers. Not living like a rat, hiding and dodging, surrounded by lies and deception."

"The reason I was assigned here is not because those people thought highly of me."

She chuckled, "It's just because those people each had their own agendas and wanted to fight for this position for their cronies. In the end, when no one could get the position, they were forced to compromise and chose me."

"Actually, I don't like this position at all, and I didn't want to come to the 'Destroy the Royal Court'."

"But there's nothing I can do. That's how it's been arranged, so I have no choice but to accept it." She shrugged, making a helpless gesture.

"When they saw me off, two of the emperors actually summoned me to try and win me over, or made me promises that they would bring me back soon."

"The premise is... that I can survive for 3 years."

At this point, Cloud Cat God King shrugged with a self-deprecating smile, "But you've seen the result."

"I'm simply not cut out for intelligence work."

"I haven't been here long, and Princess Huiming has already set her sights on me."

"At that time, she already held immense power in the 'Destruction Court,' and even controlled the 'Shadow Division,' an intelligence agency."

"In their presence, I am like a torch in the darkness; no matter how I try to conceal myself, I appear utterly ridiculous."

Cloud Cat God King seemed to be lost in memories, and his voice became somewhat ethereal.

"So, on a stormy night, she personally led several guardian god-kings to surround and capture me alive, then sent me to the celestial prison of the 'Royal Court.'"

"That was where the 'Destroyer's Court' imprisoned serious criminals of the 'God' rank and above, so it was also known as the 'Heavenly Prison.' Later, the 'Heavenly Prison' gradually expanded and became the prison city we know today."

She paused, as if organizing her thoughts, or perhaps recalling her experience at the time...

After a moment, she swung her small, fair feet and said calmly, "During those two weeks in the Heavenly Prison, she spent almost all her time with me, trying to subdue me, to turn me against her, to make me work for her and help her gather intelligence on the 'Temple.'"

At this point, the Cloud Cat Goddess, unusually, showed a hint of ambition. She slightly puffed out her chest.

"But I am, after all, a guardian god-king; how could I possibly submit so easily!"

Perhaps because she was a slender branch bearing a large fruit, when she straightened up, she immediately trembled with a "duang" sound.

Qiu Tu, however, was a gentleman, so he only followed the pulsating movement a few times before paying no attention and continuing to listen to the Cloud Cat God King's story.
