Then let them offer their loyalty!

Just then, as he was thinking this, Princess Huiming finally spoke.

Her face remained expressionless, and her voice devoid of emotion. "Your idea is excellent."

As she spoke, her majestic gaze fell upon the Ghost Face God King, "Then... this matter will be left to you, Ghost Face."

"Go and investigate the witch of chaos and related clues."

Perhaps not expecting that Princess Huiming would be so easily persuaded, and even entrust him with such a troublesome task, the Ghost-Faced God King was stunned upon hearing Princess Huiming's words.

Then, looking utterly bewildered, he pointed to his own nose, his voice trembling, "Huh? Me? I went to investigate the Witch of Chaos?"

That's the Chaos Witch! One of only three in the entire "Eternal Continent"... oh, now there are four, high-ranking god-kings who have embarked on the path to supreme power!

Moreover... this is the "Chaotic Era," and the Chaotic Witch, who wields the "Chaotic Path," is undoubtedly the strongest in the world!

And what about himself? He was merely a minor guardian god-king within the path of destruction. The two were as insurmountable as an insurmountable chasm. For him to investigate her was no different from a mayfly investigating a great tree—it was simply suicide!

But Princess Huiming gave him no chance to refuse. She glanced at him with a stern expression and said, "Don't disappoint me."

After saying that, she nodded slightly to Qiu Tu, then her figure twisted and disappeared from the spot, leaving only a faint fragrance in the air.

With the departure of Princess Huiming, only Qiu Tu and the bewildered Ghost Face God King remained in the conference room, and a silence gradually fell over them...

Two full seconds passed before Qiu Tu, mimicking the Cloud Cat God King's usual somewhat irritating manner, burst out laughing, breaking the silence in the conference room.

Realizing he'd been mocked by "Cloud Cat God King," Ghost Face God King looked over awkwardly, his face twitching beneath the mask. He couldn't help but ask, "Silver Mask, did I... say something wrong just now?"

Hearing Ghost Face God King's words, Qiu Tu smiled and glanced at him, then asked in return, "What do you think?"

Seeing that Ghost Face didn't understand, Qiu Tu smiled and patted Ghost Face God King on the shoulder, then teased, "You think you're the only smart one in the world?"

"Do you think Your Highness, and I, haven't noticed anything amiss? Or suspect that it might be the work of Her Majesty the Witch?"

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Ghost Face God King was slightly taken aback.

Qiu Tu sighed, shook his head as if to say, "This child is beyond redemption," and then said earnestly,

“Master Ghost Face... You’ve been in the Shadow Division for so many years, how could you forget that ‘it’s easy to raise a question, but difficult to solve it’?”

"Superiors do not like subordinates who can only raise questions but cannot solve them."

"Because...that would only cause them trouble."

At this point, Qiu Tu paused, then his gaze turned serious. He said,

"Moreover... God-King Lu Yao's visit was very sudden, giving us no time to prepare or refuse. And the information she brought was more trouble than value."

“When I talked to Her Highness before, I could clearly see her impatience.”

"Moreover, the most important thing for the royal court right now is to find the new god-king who will embark on the path to the supreme realm. There is simply no energy left to care about an insignificant god-king named Lu Yao."

"Therefore, Your Highness naturally does not wish to investigate further."

At this point, Qiu Tu glanced at the ghost face with a half-smile, his eyes behind the silver mask, and said,

"So... since you were causing trouble and showing off your intelligence, His Highness was naturally dissatisfied, and then took the opportunity to assign this task to you."

After explaining everything, Qiu Tu shook his head, then swaggered away with his hands behind his back, leaving Ghost Face God King bewildered in the conference room.

After Qiu Tu left, the Ghost Face God King showed a look of annoyance.

No wonder he felt there was something fishy about this! There were so many inside stories!

Everyone else was pretending not to know, and only he foolishly jumped out to be the first to stick his neck out!

"My mouth!" The Ghost-Faced God King slapped his head in frustration, feeling that he was a perfect example of being too clever for his own good.

Then he couldn't help but start thinking about how to get rid of this task...

However, what he didn't know was...

At this moment, Qiu Tu, who had just walked out of the conference room, quickly wiped the smile off his face.

In fact, what he just said to the Ghost Face God King was all to cover up the loopholes in his and Princess Huiming's plan.

He and Princess Huiming were both clever people, so fooling a ghost-faced god king was a piece of cake for them.

In fact, the two didn't even need to communicate. Before Princess Huiming left, she gave him a look, and Qiu Tu knew how to cover up the loophole.

However... it's easy to fool the Ghost Face God King, but it's not so easy to fool that Destruction Tyrant.

This final hurdle depends on Princess Huiming...

Moreover, I need to make some preparations in advance.

Thinking this, Qiu Tu couldn't help but look out the window at the blood-red sky...

......

Meanwhile, at the Princess Palace.

Princess Huiming sat down at the inkstone desk and had just picked up her brush when a deep, authoritative male voice rang in her ears.

“Huiming, come to see me.”

The voice carried an unquestionable will, as if the world should revolve around him.

It was none other than a destructive tyrant.

Upon hearing this, Princess Huiming lowered her head slightly and respectfully replied, "Yes, Father."

After sensing that will disappear, Princess Huiming raised her head, her eyes dark, then took a long breath and slowly exhaled.

The next second, she adjusted her facial expression, and then her figure transformed into a streak of light and disappeared from the spot.

Inside the Tyrant's Palace, the dark red laws of destruction flowed across the ground as if they were tangible, and the air was so heavy it was suffocating.

On the towering throne sat the Destruction Tyrant, his body as imposing as a mountain, surrounded by black lightning, and his eyes seemed to shatter stars as they opened and closed.

Princess Huiming was clearly used to this kind of scene. She walked to the foot of the throne, knelt on one knee, bowed her head, and said calmly, "Father."

"Hmm." The Tyrant of Destruction responded with an air of authority, then went straight to the point, asking, "Why was there no report of Lu Yao's mission?"

The voice of the Destroyer Tyrant was devoid of emotion, but the overwhelming sense of oppression was enough to cause an ordinary god-king to collapse on the spot.

But Princess Huiming remained unmoved, her face expressionless as she lowered her head and recited the prepared speech.

"The Goddess Lu Yao arrived suddenly and without going through formal diplomatic channels. Your son has not yet figured out her purpose. And Father has been troubled by something lately, which is why he did not report it in time."

"Unexpectedly, she got into trouble later."

Upon hearing Princess Huiming's words, the Destruction Tyrant's gaze, which seemed capable of shattering stars, fell heavily upon Princess Huiming.

After a moment, he asked authoritatively, "Have you figured out her purpose?"

"She wants to form an alliance with our 'Destruction Court'," Princess Huiming said slowly, her head bowed. "She wants to use intelligence from other factions in exchange for our support."

"Including the Chaos Faction, the Mystic Faction, and the Temple of Order..."

"Hmph!" The Destruction Tyrant snorted coldly, and the entire hall trembled at his snort. "That's exactly what she's capable of doing."

"Over the years, relying on the reputation 'Sea Carp' has built on the 'Ancient Continent,' she has done countless fence-sitting and two-faced things."

"She's clearly looking to find a new employer before the 'Current Era' ends."

With that, the assessment of the destructive tyrant came to an abrupt end.

As an old monster who has lived for countless years and reigns supreme over the "Destruction Faction," he is certainly not a simple character, possessing a natural sense for all conspiracies and intrigues.

Therefore, although Princess Huiming's reason was perfectly reasonable, he still instinctively felt that something was amiss.

His eyes, filled with a destructive aura, fell heavily on Princess Huiming.

He was thinking, he was examining.

A moment later, his brow furrowed sharply, as if he had realized something, and he said in a stern voice, "The time. The timing is wrong..."

The Destruction Tyrant said with a gloomy face, "Several thousand kilometers is only 2-3 hours for the Guardian God King to travel back and forth. Even if you add the time you spent thinking, it is impossible that it took more than ten hours to discover that Lu Yao was missing."

Where did the time go in between?

The Destruction Tyrant sat on his throne, his massive body suddenly raising his voice, carrying a chilling killing intent, "Radiant Life, what are you hiding from me?"

Clearly, he could not accept Huiming's concealment of his secret!

This is also the most dangerous moment. If the Radiant Princess reveals even the slightest flaw, then... what awaits her may be the devastating wrath of the Tyrant of Destruction.

However, Princess Huiming did not.

She remained kneeling, and even her heartbeat remained steady.

She raised her head, a perfectly timed "hesitation" in her eyes, as if she had some unspeakable secret.

The next second, she lowered her head again and said cautiously,

“Your Majesty is wise; I have indeed been hiding something.”

"Because... God-King Lu Yao has another purpose besides wanting to form an alliance."

"Another purpose?" The Destruction Tyrant stared coldly at the Radiant Princess.

Princess Huiming lowered her head and hummed in agreement. "The reason she was willing to provide information about the Chaos, Order, and Mystic factions was mainly to find out... about the new God-King who embarked on the path to the Supreme and... the methods he used."

Princess Huiming paused for a moment, "She probably thought that the new God-King was trained by the 'Royal Court'."

Princess Huiming's voice lowered, "Your subject is worried that this will offend Father Emperor, so... I have been hesitant about how to properly handle this matter."

This is almost a perfect reason.

Everyone knows that the Destroyer Tyrant's most recent Achilles' heel is the new God-King who has embarked on the "Path to Supremacy".

Hesitation and caution out of fear of angering the tyrant are not only reasonable, but also consistent with Princess Huiming's cautious nature and her desire to do things perfectly.

Therefore, upon hearing Princess Huiming's words, the aura of the Destruction Tyrant suddenly froze.

Then... he remained silent for a full two seconds before suddenly grinning and roaring, "Good, good, good! This is outrageous! This is truly outrageous!"

"It seems that after all these years, Lu Yao still hasn't given up on her idea of ​​embarking on the 'Path to Supremacy'."

"A tiny insect, by sheer luck, embarked on the 'Path to the Supreme,' which gave her hope and allowed her to dare to even glimpse that supreme and unparalleled path."

Perhaps because it touched the tyrant of destruction's sore spot, as he spoke, sparks of destructive law flashed from the tyrant's eyes.

Seeing this, Princess Huiming could only continue kneeling there, head bowed, not daring to utter a single word.

After venting for a full half minute, the tyrant's destructive emotions finally subsided slightly.

And so, the entire hall slowly fell into a deathly silence.

Two minutes later, the Destruction Tyrant lowered his gaze and landed on Princess Radiant Fate once more. He looked at Princess Radiant Fate intently for a moment, and the killing intent in his eyes gradually faded.

"This is a one-time exception." He waved his hand. "You may leave."

"Yes."

Princess Huiming rose and backed away from the main hall, her long python robe trailing on the ground.

Throughout the entire ordeal, the tyrant of destruction, perched atop his throne, never took his eyes off Princess Radiant Fate.

Only after Princess Huiming left the hall and turned to leave did his blood-red eyes slowly narrow in the darkness, his expression growing even more sinister...

.....

night.

The Princess's Palace.

Princess Huiming, dressed in a dark gold python robe, stood on the terrace with her hands behind her back, gazing at the dark red waning moon outside the window.

Almost at the same time, Qiu Tu, who was in the prison city, was also dressed in the Shadow Division uniform and wearing a silver mask. He stood by the window of the Cloud Cat God King's residence, looking at the red moon outside the window.

Both of them were extremely intelligent.

But this time, their opponent was also an extremely intelligent person.

More importantly, their "partners" or "targets" who are far away are also extremely clever.

This situation gave both of them a vague feeling that they were losing control...

A moment later, Princess Huiming, dressed in a python robe, made the first move.

She stood by the window and said expressionlessly, "Fuying."

Upon hearing her words, a woman dressed entirely in black emerged from the shadows and silently knelt down on one knee behind her.

Princess Huiming, with a serious expression, said without turning her head, "According to the previous plan, use the special artifact I refined to send a message to those two..."

Upon hearing Princess Huiming's words, Fuying lowered her head and replied, "Yes, Your Highness."
