"So, you've figured it out? There really was a car that secretly left the New Territories that day, heading towards Tung Shing City?"

"After that, the scene of that mysterious person advancing to the fourth tier was discovered in the 'Eastern City Area'?"

“Yes, Director,” the trusted aide said firmly.

"We even found the place where the vehicle finally stopped. It was in a small grove of trees at the border of the New Territories and the Eastern City."

"That mysterious person likely got off the bus there, then walked into the territory of East City, flipped the world, entered the 'East City Area,' and began their advancement..."

Upon hearing this, Ellie's eyes flickered repeatedly. "Could it be Qiu Tu?"

The trusted aide hesitated for a moment, then said, "Well...we don't know..."

.....

Meanwhile, all the forces in the New Territories were paying attention to Qiu Tu.

Suddenly, a huge black beam of light burst forth from Qiu Tu's office on the 12th floor of the Investigation Bureau!

The next second, the beam of light shot straight into the sky and then exploded! It was like a giant black umbrella that covered the entire New Territories!

A powerful aura rapidly spread from Qiu Tu's office to every corner of the New Territories.

All the survivors of the cataclysm looked up at the sky, sensing something amiss...

The illusory image of the law...

Another person has advanced to the fourth-tier Cataclysm?

First it was Yan Chen, then Tang Feifei. So who is it this time?

Soon after, news that the phantom of the law originated from Qiu Tu's office spread rapidly throughout the New Territories...

Chapter 437 The Shocking Forces (Fixed)

New Territories. Yan Chen's Garden Villa.

Ellie stood by the window, staring at the enormous black umbrella that blanketed the New Territories while making a phone call. Her face was filled with disbelief.

"What did you say? The source of that phantom of the law comes from Qiu Tu's office?"

"Now, Qiu Tu's confidants have completely sealed off Qiu Tu's office?"

"Then they announced it to the public, saying that Qiu Tu was advancing to the fourth-tier Cataclysm?"

The voice that came from the other end of the phone was Shi Youxin's.

He had clearly just painstakingly gathered this information, hence his uneven breathing.

He said, "Yes... Director Ellie, I was also very surprised when I heard the news."

"How did Director Qiu suddenly advance to the pseudo-fourth rank?"

"There was absolutely no warning."

Shi Youxin recalled for a moment, then said, "I remember that just a month ago, Director Qiu had just been promoted to a third-tier Cataclysm."

"Back then, he had a conflict with the former head of the Special Operations Department, Lin Ting. He had revealed his strength and should be a Cataclysm at the early stage of the third tier."

"He's already advanced to the fourth rank in just one month?"

Upon hearing Shi Youxin's words, Ellie's expression became even more complicated.

Shi Youxin was shocked, and she was just as shocked.

You know, a few days ago, after being tricked by Qiu Tu, she had been thinking of ways to retaliate.

After carefully analyzing Qiu Tu's situation, she was surprised to find that Qiu Tu had truly reached his full potential.

Below him are hundreds of mid-level loyalists who control a team of thousands of agents, making them a formidable force.

Three high-ranking officials in the Investigation Department were his cronies, and several deputy speakers in the state council were also protecting him, allowing him to make the New Territories City an unbreakable force.

Most importantly, there was the "Fengtian Clique" and Old Tang protecting them.

It's fair to say that, whether it's political or personal issues, it's very difficult to bring Qiu Tu down.

Unless he commits a fundamental error, Qiu Tu, like Tang Feifei before him, is destined to enter the core of the shelter. It's just a matter of sooner or later.

This also made Ellie give up the idea of ​​looking for Qiu Tu's weaknesses from other aspects, and directly devote all her efforts to investigating whether the fourth-tier Cataclysm who used Zhao Ji's "Eastern City Area" to advance was Qiu Tu.

Because everyone's attention was drawn to the "Purge Plan," Ellie's investigation progressed well, and she quickly uncovered many clues.

And then... right at that moment, Qiu Tu was promoted openly and legitimately?!

Isn't this indirectly proving that the fourth-tier Cataclysm who advanced in the "Eastern City Area" some time ago was Qiu Tu?

In that case, the only possibility of defeating Qiu Tu would completely disappear.

How could Ellie not feel despair after this...?

Don't forget, she has now lost to Qiu Tu.

If Qiu Tu doesn't fall, how will she ever get her chance to rise again...?

Thinking this, Ellie took a deep breath, and her twin ponytails bounced with her breath.

Then she asked, "Are you sure it really is Qiu Tu?"

Of course, Shi Youxin, the non-stick pan owner, couldn't take the blame and completely dismiss the matter.

He coughed and then said, "Director Ellie, this... how could I possibly be sure?"

"All I know is that the phantom of the law did indeed come from Director Qiu's office, and no one entered or left Director Qiu's office that day."

At this point, Shi Youxin was probably worried that Ellie would still have some doubts. So he added, "Also... Deputy Director Ellie, Qiu Tu's advancement to a fourth-tier Cataclysm is already quite legendary."

"If there's a second fourth-tier Cataclysm expert besides him, that would be even more terrifying..."

Upon hearing Shi Youxin's words, Ellie's heart skipped a beat, and she felt that they made sense.

So she took a deep breath and had no choice but to accept the reality she didn't want to accept.

'A fourth-order Cataclysm...'

Considering the significance and status that such power represented, Ellie felt that perhaps... washing herself clean and sending herself to Qiu Tu's bed would be more realistic...

......

Meanwhile, at the City Hall, in the office of the First Committee Member.

Jiang Zhenpeng listened to his confidants' report with a shocked expression, "Is Qiu Tu advancing to the fourth-tier Cataclysm?"

After being shocked, Jiang Zhenpeng clenched his fists involuntarily.

To be honest, Jiang Zhenpeng is not a jealous person. After all, if he were, he wouldn't have been able to endure it for so many years.

But to be honest, he's starting to feel a little jealous now...

A fourth-tier Cataclysm in his twenties! The director of the City Investigation Bureau! And he also has the support of the "Fengtian Clique" and is highly regarded by Elder Tang!

This is 100% a potential core talent for the future!

'Sure enough... comparing yourself to others is just awful.'

Jiang Zhenpeng is not young after all; his jealousy comes and goes quickly.

So after making that remark, he stopped caring about Qiu Tu's rocket-like improvement and started analyzing the impact of Qiu Tu's advancement on himself.

As a result, he was immediately surprised to find that Qiu Tuyi's advancement had put him in a very difficult situation!

Without Qiu Tu's help, he suddenly lost a way out, and his situation became even more difficult...

'this....'

For a moment, Jiang Zhenpeng felt like he was going bald...

.....

Meanwhile, at the military headquarters.

After listening to the adjutant's report, Lin Chuan, who had previously maintained a roguish demeanor, remained silent for a long time.

After a long pause, he slowly asked, "You said... Qiu Tu is advancing to a fourth-tier Cataclysm?"

The adjutant wiped the sweat from his brow, then bowed and said, "Yes."

Lin Chuan:...

He touched his buzz cut, his eyes somewhat lost in thought.

After a moment, he cursed under his breath, "Damn it! Three consecutive directors have been promoted to fourth-tier Cataclysms!"

Is the position of Director of the New Territories City Investigation Department cursed?

"It makes me want to go sit down!"

After he finished cursing, he seemed to remember something and hurriedly said, "By the way, those dozen or so moles from the Investigation Department haven't been touched, have they?"

The adjutant seemed to have been waiting for Lin Chuan to bring up this topic. Hearing Lin Chuan's words, he quickly replied, "Colonel, the order hasn't been given yet, so nothing has been done."

Lin Chuan visibly relaxed upon hearing this. He then leaned back in his chair and said nonchalantly, "Alright, since that's the case, let's not kill them then."

"I thought about it, and we're all colleagues, so there's no need to be so ruthless."

Upon hearing Lin Chuan's words, the adjutant cautiously asked, "Then... should we notify the Investigation Bureau to come and pick him up?"

Hearing his adjutant's words, Lin Chuan glared at him and then said, "Although Qiu Tu has now advanced to a fourth-tier Cataclysm, I need to give him some face."

"But... so what if he's a fourth-tier Cataclysm? He's still at the same level as me!"

"Keeping him here is already giving him face. As for the rest, let him come and talk to me in person after he's out of the country!"

Upon hearing Lin Chuan's words, the adjutant hesitated, but ultimately nodded...

However, after leaving Lin Chuan's office, the adjutant secretly spat and cursed inwardly.

'Stop pretending! You were just jealous of Qiu Tu before, and now you're a little afraid of him, aren't you?'

'And...they're at the same level?'

'Chiu Tu is the State Assemblyman for Dong Ye and the Director of the Investigation Department! How can you compare to him?'

'Moreover, now that he has advanced to a fourth-tier Cataclysm, his future is even more limitless.'

'Still putting on an act? Watch out for the reckoning later!'

The more the adjutant thought about it, the more he felt that Lin Chuan's ship was doomed. So, his heart pounded with anxiety...

'I feel like I need to find a way out!'

.....

The New Territories has been going through a turbulent period recently.

Qiu Tu's sudden promotion was like a drop of water falling into a frying pan of oil, making the already chaotic situation even more chaotic.

In contrast to the New Territories City, the Tung Yip State Government, including the 16 cities of Tung Yip State, reacted differently upon learning the news.

Some people were utterly astonished, some laughed heartily, and others... well, the office furniture has been replaced again.

At this time, amidst the turmoil in the outside world.

Office of the Director of the Exploration Department, New Territories.

Qiu Tu, at the center of the whole incident, was lying in bed, eating peaches, and communicating with the "Yellow Demon" mother and daughter in the "Soul Shackles" altar.

Meanwhile, next door, the "captain," shrouded in a cloud of black mist, was single-mindedly focused on his advancement...

That's right, the reason Qiu Tu didn't let La Riluo "inherit" the "Wuhai Region" was to make the "Captain" the "Regional Lord" of the "Wuhai Region".

There were reasons why he made this decision.

First, there is an unavoidable issue for him to become the deputy speaker of Dongye State: his ability.

His strength, on the surface, is only at the third rank.

The rule of this world is that as long as one advances to the fourth rank, a "law phantom" with a vast range will inevitably be born.

Previously, in order to conceal his identity as the "Lord of the Region" and to scheme against his enemies and evil gods, he secretly went to the "Eastern Region" to advance his rank.

This did allow him to conceal his true strength, but it also made it impossible for him to explain when and where he became a fourth-tier Cataclysm.
