Then let them offer their loyalty!

"Watch out, your hand might get chopped off!"

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's blunt threat, Kou Yu flew into a rage.

He suddenly stood up, glaring at Qiu Tu, his aura sweeping towards Qiu Tu in waves!

Last time Qiu Tu tested Kou Yu, although Kou Yu deliberately withdrew his aura, Qiu Tu still guessed that Kou Yu, as the top combatant of the 6th Shelter, had most likely reached the 5th rank.

Now that Kou Yu's aura has erupted, Qiu Tu has immediately grasped Kou Yu's strength.

Late stage of fifth rank. Only one step away from the peak of fifth rank.

Unfortunately... it was precisely that one step that allowed Qiu Tu to maintain the upper hand when facing him.

Therefore, Qiu Tu looked at him with a deep gaze and said in a cold voice, "It has only been a year since I embarked on the path of the extraordinary."

"A first-tier can kill a second-tier, a second-tier can kill a third-tier! A peak third-tier can contend with a fourth-tier! And at the early stage of the fourth tier, one can even kill a peak fourth-tier!"

"Now that I've reached the fifth rank, as long as I can make a move, even a peak Great Evil God is no match for me! At the very least, I'll trade my life for his!"

"So, Lord Kou, you... really want to give it a try?"

"Want to experience what it means that there's a difference even between the fifth tier?!"

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's domineering declaration, the atmosphere in the entire conference room became solemn.

Regardless of how much boasting Qiu Tu might have made, his track record is undeniable and cannot be ignored by anyone.

While some of the results do seem to be inflated, no one has seen the actual events and cannot determine how much of it is inflated.

So, in this situation, Old Pang quickly stepped in to mediate, saying, "Alright, everyone, say less."

“Speaker Qiu, come, sit here.”

As he spoke, he pointed to the empty seat closest to him.

Then, he patted Kou Yu on the shoulder and said, "Lord Kou, please sit down too."

"We're here today to investigate a case."

Although Kou Yu was unsure of Qiu Tu's exact strength, he dared not act rashly given Qiu Tu's seemingly mysterious words.

Now that Elder Pang had given him a suitable way out, he went along with it, nodded, and sat down.

Seeing that he had successfully dealt with the troublemaker, Qiu Tu stopped causing trouble and sat down in his seat.

Seeing that the situation had finally calmed down, Old Pang breathed a slight sigh of relief and slowly sat down.

After sitting down, he pointed to Yu Die and said, "Yu Die, please introduce the investigation progress of the case to Speaker Qiu."

Hearing what Elder Pang said, Yu Die nodded slightly, then looked at Qiu Tu with a serious expression and said, "Speaker Qiu, according to our Security Bureau's investigation, we have basically identified the suspect in your case."

"It is an evil god with mid-to-late stage strength of the fifth tier, named 'Eagle Flight'."

"His area of ​​activity was in the disaster zone bordering New South Wales, and he had close ties with 'Twilight.'"

"His sudden arrival in Dongcheng City this time is most likely to be in search of Muye's whereabouts."

"The reason he poisoned Xue'er and sent her to your bed is because..."

There should be three possibilities.

"First, it's a show of force, telling you that he can sneak up on you at any time and force you to release Mu Ye."

"Secondly, we'll lure you into making a mistake, causing a rift between you and Councilor Huang Shangzong. This will allow you to use one enemy against another, leaving you no time to conquer the disaster zone or deal with the evil god."

"Thirdly... it's also very possible that he simply wants to use women to seduce you, so that you'll come into contact with him and cooperate with him."

After listening to Yu Die's analysis, Qiu Tu nodded slightly, then asked, "So... where is this 'Eagle Soaring' Great Evil God now?"

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's question, Yu Die shook her head and said, "I don't know."

"These evil gods are elusive and difficult to track down unless they deliberately expose themselves."

Upon hearing Yu Die's words, Qiu Tu nodded slightly, a thoughtful look in his eyes.

After Yu Die finished her introduction, Elder Pang coughed and then said with a serious expression, "This attack by the evil god is not an isolated incident."

"This likely represents the fact that our counterattack against evil gods during this period has been very effective."

"So, don't think of this as a bad thing. On the contrary... it's actually the enemy's way of praising us."

At this point, Elder Pang paused for a moment, then continued, "Therefore, we must continue our efforts to develop the planned areas and explore the disaster zones."

"As for that fifth-tier evil god..." At this point, Elder Pang glanced at the people present and then said decisively, "We absolutely cannot let him go!"

"Issue an arrest warrant through the security system, then record this evil god, and raise the priority of all cases related to Him!"

“Eliminate his followers, cut off his escape route. Force him back to the disaster zone to prevent a recurrence!”

Old Pang's words sound nice, but they're all just official jargon and platitudes.

As Yudie just mentioned, "Eagle Flight" mainly operates in the Cataclysm Zone, where its followers and forces are also located.

The arrest warrants issued by East Virginia and New South Wales had no effect whatsoever.

And... expel and eliminate "Eagle Flight"?

"Eagle Soars" is a fifth-tier evil god. Qiu Tu is currently the only fifth-tier Cataclysm in both states.

Who else is a match for "Eagle Flying"? How can we drive him away or capture him?

However, this result was not unexpected.

After all... most of the cases related to evil gods in the sanctuary have been shelved. Over time, countless cases have accumulated.

There's no idea when it will be resolved.

Who made this world such a dog-eat-dog world...?

After discussing the case, Old Pang gave everyone some final instructions on their personal safety before adjourning the meeting.

After the meeting ended, Mr. Pang was the first to leave.

Kou Yu and Princess Xi also left with him.

Princess Xi didn't say a word throughout the meeting. She only occasionally glanced at Qiu Tu with her cold eyes.

Qiu Tu noticed her gaze, but did not respond.

As I said before... you need to make the other person feel hopeless before giving them hope.

This will make your help more valuable...

After the three left, Qiu Tu, being the one with the highest status and position present, was the first to get up and leave.

As a result, Yu Die followed him after he had only taken two steps.

Outside the office, Yu Die stood beside Qiu Tu and teased, "At first I thought you were only interested in looks. Then I thought you liked breasts the most."

"Later, I thought you liked things like slender legs, slender waists, baby faces with big breasts, and delicate branches with large fruits."

"So now I know. You're just a lecherous woman!"

"You actually dared to harm Yan Yan, who is Yan Chen's daughter."

At this point, Yu Die's face showed a hint of confusion.

Hearing Yu Die's words, Qiu Tu glanced at Yu Die.

Yu Die looked beautiful today. She was wearing a black uniform from the Security Bureau, with a gold star on her shoulder. Her face was delicate and her eyes were deep and clear.

She wore her hair in a bun, and when her thin lips were tightly closed, she exuded a resolute air, but when she smiled, she appeared gentle and charming.

This was a beautiful "body" that rivaled Qin Shuman's in appearance. It was also the body Qiu Tu had always wanted to possess but had never succeeded in doing so.

Sometimes, Qiu Tu gets annoyed just thinking about how Yu Die's body doesn't cause him any trouble.

Thinking this, Qiu Tu's gaze lingered on Yu Die for a moment before he said, "Actually... it's not my fault."

"You know, I'm quick to accept new things."

Rain Butterfly: ?

This was the first time Yu Die had ever met someone who spoke of fickleness with such high emotional intelligence.

She glared at Qiu Tu, then ignored him and turned to head towards her office.

But after taking only two steps, Yu Die stopped again.

She turned to look at Qiu Tu, but instead of speaking, she used her mental power to transmit her thoughts with a serious expression, saying, "There's something fishy about this case."

"The Security Bureau has handled many cases related to evil gods. Evil gods will deliberately hide their aura, identity, and whereabouts."

"Many times, it's hard to tell whether it's an evil god or a cataclysmic being handling the case."

"But in this case... that evil god handled things very poorly."

"While it didn't directly expose us, it did leave quite a few clues."

"It's like they're deliberately trying to lure us into investigating."

Qiu Tu smiled upon hearing this, but he wasn't surprised.

When evil gods investigate cases, they must be discreet and conceal their identities.

Meanwhile, the fifth-tier Great Evil God "Eagle Soaring" was handling the case, but he was actually taking the blame for Elder Pang and acting as a shield. Of course, he couldn't hide his identity like that.

If no one can find him, wouldn't Old Pang become a suspect?

Thinking this, Qiu Tu did not explain, but instead used his mental power to transmit his voice, "It's okay, once we catch him, we'll know the whole truth."

Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Yu Die smiled, but didn't take them seriously.

Capturing a fifth-tier evil god is incredibly difficult. Firstly, their elusive nature makes them extremely hard to find. And even if you did find them, they are a powerful evil god in the mid-to-late stages of the fifth tier!

Qiu Tucai had just entered the fifth level.

His previous victories in the conference room, where he fought opponents of higher levels, were either aided by others (Tang Feifei, Liu Xiongyuan) or involved "using evil gods to subdue evil gods"... Where were there any examples of direct combat?

The only time they killed a whale with a sword, both of them seemed to be at the peak of the fourth tier (researched by the Sanctuary), so it can't be considered killing an enemy of a higher level.

Therefore, Yu Die didn't really believe Qiu Tu's claim that he had captured Ying Fei.

However, she is a woman who knows when to advance and when to retreat. Her sharp retorts to Qiu Tu just now were merely to assert her presence and show that she can also be jealous and care about such things.

Now, of course, she couldn't dampen Qiu Tu's enthusiasm.

So she replied with a smile, "I will work with you to try to bring that suspect to justice as soon as possible."

.....

Meanwhile, in Elder Pang's temporary office, Kou Yu was throwing a tantrum, his face ashen!

"Damn it! Damn it! How dare some bumpkin from a planned development zone threaten me!"

At this point, Kou Yu glared at Old Pang with bloodshot eyes and said, "You too! Why did you stop me!"

"He's definitely bluffing. If he were that powerful, why would he need to resort to 'using an evil god to subdue another evil god'?"

Upon hearing Kou Yu's words, Elder Pang's face darkened. He looked at him and said, "If I don't stop you, do you really intend to kill him?"

"He's the fourth Tier 4 Cataclysm in Sanctuary 8! Incredibly valuable!"

"Moreover, even if the shelter gave him a warning, he is still the speaker of the Dongye State Council and a high-ranking official in the shelter."

"You dare to kill him outright? Are you insane?"

Upon hearing this, Kou Yu took two deep breaths and then said viciously, "Then let him go to his death."

"Didn't he say that he could kill a peak fifth-tier evil god as soon as he entered the fifth tier?"

"Send him to find the evil god 'Eagle Flight' who committed the crime."

"I want to see if he can really take down this veteran fifth-tier evil god!"

Upon hearing Kou Yu's words, Elder Pang's eyes flickered...

To be honest, he didn't really believe Qiu Tu's boasted abilities either.

However... after arriving in Dongye Prefecture, he actually learned about Qiu Tu's information in detail.

This is someone who excels at creating miracles....

If it were just "Eagle Flight," Qiu Tu might actually be able to create a miracle and then make a great contribution.

Now is a crucial moment for him to gain control of Dongye Prefecture and Xinzhou Prefecture. He must weaken Qiu Tu's influence, not help him build momentum...

Thinking this, Old Pang's heart stirred slightly...
