Then let them offer their loyalty!

To be honest, at that moment, even though Princess Xi harbored resentment towards Qiu Tu, she still felt a sense of pride...

How many years has it been since humans stood up like this?

Even when facing an evil god, Qiu Tu could act like this. But what about the Kou family of the Sixth Sanctuary...?

Thinking of this, Princess Xi took a deep breath.

Stop letting your mind wander.

Moreover... by using Qiu Tu's control over the 6th Shelter, who knows if it's like inviting a wolf into the fold.

After being driven away by the fierce tiger from the Kou family, they attracted Qiu Tu, the hungry wolf.

With that in mind, Princess Xi stopped thinking about it.

'3:30 a.m....' Princess Xi silently counted the time in her mind, her gaze becoming firm.

'Let's restore our freedom first!'

'We'll talk to Tang Wanfeng and Rao Shou then, and see if there's any hope for the "Three-Turn Snow Lotus"...'

......

2:50 am.

Villas of Stars, Villa No. 0.

Pang Haichen dismissed his servants, locked the door, and set up warning and defensive formations in the room.

Then he took out the black cloak and black mask he wore when he rescued the little yaksha from his storage treasure.

After getting dressed, Pang Haichen casually stood in front of a mirror!

The next second, a lot of white mist suddenly surged into the mirror. The white mist gradually spread and soon filled the entire space.

Pang Haichen walked slowly towards the mirror.

The mirror was clearly only three steps away from him, but he took nine steps without touching it.

And at the very moment he took his tenth step.

The next second, he appeared in a white, misty space.

Behind him was a two-meter-high floor-length mirror, and in front of him was a Western-style aristocratic long table.

On both sides of the long table were rows of exquisite chairs, and behind each chair was a floor-length mirror that was more than two meters tall.

So, just like him, he stepped out of the mirror and came right behind the chair.

Pang Haichen looked up and scanned the entire conference hall through the holes in his mask.

Perhaps it was time for the meeting, as one by one, figures dressed in black cloaks and wearing different masks slowly emerged from the mirror and took their seats...

Seeing this, Pang Haichen also sat down in his seat.

After sitting down, he looked up at the head seat at the very front of the conference room, wanting to see who would be chairing today's meeting...

I've probably been too carefree lately, and my post got stuck in the review process. There are also quite a few parts that need revising, so please bear with me. However, this shouldn't affect readers who are still following along...

But for the later chapters, please read them as soon as they become available.

Chapter 540 Princess Xi Escapes? (10,000 words, please vote!)

While looking at the front row, Pang Haichen was actually guessing who would be holding the meeting today.

Is he a special envoy sent by the headquarters of the "Hidden Mist Society"?

Is he the new Northwest Regional Head of the "Hidden Mist Society"?

Or... Lord Yasha's father?

Although Pang Haichen had little contact with Yaksha, she was recruited by her after all, and over the years, he had unintentionally heard that Yaksha actually had a background in the "Boundless Heart Sea - Core Area".

Her father was a high-ranking member of the "Hidden Mist Society".

Now that Yaksha is in trouble, it's very likely to alarm that high-ranking official.

Thinking this, Pang Haichen couldn't help but look at the meeting moderator sitting in the main seat.

Upon looking at it, he was stunned.

Because... the person in charge of the meeting was dressed in white and wore a bronze metal mask.

The mask had a blue face and fangs, and looked both crying and laughing, which was somewhat eerie.

The point isn't the host's appearance, but that Pang Haichen knows the host!

That was a member who had participated in meetings with them before. His codename was "Eternal Night".

The "Hidden Mist Society" is strictly hierarchical. Black robes are Rank 4, white robes are Rank 5, and purple robes are Rank 6.

Therefore, "Eternal Night" is clearly a fifth-order evil god.

Judging from his ranking in meetings, which is second only to Yaksha and Meirenfeng, his strength and status should be ranked third in the entire Northwest region.

Then it's highly likely that he's a peak level 5 evil god!

Pang Haichen habitually sought intelligence from messengers. So he had tentatively inquired about the situation of "Eternal Night."

Although the messenger did not reveal his identity, he did indicate that "Eternal Night" would likely become the third regional leader, donning a purple robe and guarding the disaster zone of the 8th Shelter.

There aren't many fifth-tier peak evil gods around the 8th Sanctuary, so Pang Haichen initially guessed that "Eternal Night" was likely Zhao Ji.

Of course, this conjecture has long since been refuted by him.

It's one thing that he himself became a "traitor" by mistake.

It's impossible for "Zhao Ji" to be the third-in-command of "Kigakure-Northwest Region" and still kill the first and second-in-command, right?

That's way too exaggerated.

Fortunately, after eliminating Zhao Ji as a suspect, another suspect entered Pang Haichen's mind—Mu Ye.

There are two reasons.

1. Mu Ye concealed his true strength. On the surface, he only displayed the strength of a late-stage fifth-tier cultivator. But in reality, he had already secretly advanced to the peak of the fifth tier and possessed eight domains!

2. After Mu Ye was captured, the messenger brought Pang Haichen a mission from the "Mist Shadow Society": to find out about Mu Ye's situation.

This unusual mission almost certainly indicates that Mu Ye is a member of the "Mist Shadow Society".

Given the similar name, Pang Haichen has reason to believe that Mu Ye is most likely "Yong Ye" himself!

So here's the question...

Hasn't Mu Ye already fallen, but his remnant soul is still imprisoned by Qiu Tu?

Why the sudden meeting? And... why are they the ones chairing it?!

Thinking this, Pang Haichen suddenly became much more vigilant.

However, he was, after all, just a member of the Black Robe faction, and at this moment he had no right to voice any doubts. So he silently leaned back, trying to minimize his presence, and then observed how things would unfold.

Sure enough, apart from him, the other members of the "Hidden Mist Society" were also clearly puzzled as to why "Eternal Night" was sitting in the main seat and holding the meeting.

A member, also dressed in white robes but with a fox head, spoke up and asked, "Eternal Night, what are you up to? Why are you holding this meeting?"

This member sounds like a woman; her voice is as melodious as a silver bell.

His words immediately silenced the room, and everyone turned their attention to the two of them. Clearly, not only the fox-faced man was curious about this question, but everyone else was as well.

At this moment, "Eternal Night" also spoke.

He glanced at the fox-faced man through the mask that seemed to be both crying and laughing, and then said calmly, "This is just a new experiment by those above."

"A new attempt from above?" Upon hearing "Eternal Night's" words, some members in the hall lowered their heads in thought, while others exchanged glances.

Finally, the fox-faced man tentatively asked again, "What attempt?"

However, at this moment, "Eternal Night," who was sitting in the main seat presiding over the ceremony, gave him a cold look and said in a flat tone, "Red Fox, you have too many questions."

"Eternal Night" usually doesn't talk much in meetings and is rather quiet.

Now that he has become the meeting host, and given that he already has the highest status and influence at the meeting, it is indeed reasonable for him to host the meeting now that Yasha and Meirenfeng are in trouble. Therefore, no one dared to ask any more questions.

Seeing that the scene had quieted down, "Eternal Night"... or rather, Qiu Tu, through his bronze mask, glanced calmly at everyone present.

There were 12 people in white and only 4 in black at the scene.

Because this meeting is quite important, only three people have special circumstances that prevent them from attending.

In other words, the Fog Shadow Society in the "Northwest Region" has a total of 21 members.

Excluding the deceased Yaksha and Meirenfeng, the "Mist Hidden Society" currently has 15 fifth-tier members and 4 fourth-tier members.

This force is terrifyingly strong.

It's capable of easily destroying a shelter.

More importantly... Qiu Tu still remembered what Mu Ye had told him. There were a total of 6 human members in the "Mist Shadow Society".

其中第6庇护所1个，第8庇护所1个，第7庇护所4个。

Before the meeting, Qiu Tu asked Mu Ye in detail about the attendance ratio at previous meetings.

According to Mu Ye, the "Mist Shadow Society" has held dozens of meetings over the years, but at most, there were only 4 fourth-tier members.

That means that unless the four of them take turns taking leave, the other two traitors must both be at the fifth level!

After reviewing all the information in his mind, Qiu Tu looked around at everyone present and then, mimicking Mu Ye's tone, slowly said, "Everyone should know about Lord Yaksha and Lord Meiren Feng's matter."

Upon hearing this topic, the meeting room fell silent.

During this period, news of the deaths of Yaksha and Meirenfeng spread throughout the entire Northwest region.

Ordinary people might not know this news, but how could those present not know it?

Seeing that all the members were silent, Qiu Tu slowly said, "After the higher-ups found out about this, they were furious. They issued two orders."

"First, we were ordered to handle this matter as properly as possible. We cannot allow the Northwest region to spiral out of control."

"Secondly... if we can't handle it, we should try to delay the process and wait for them to send a special envoy down."

"However, the arrival of a special envoy will come at a great cost and require a long preparation time."

"So... I prefer that we handle this ourselves."

At this point, Qiu Tu paused for a moment, then finally revealed his true purpose. He sat upright in the main seat and said calmly, "So... let's brainstorm together."

"Let's see who has the right abilities, catastrophic artifacts, or... a plan to deal with Zhao Ji and Qiu Tu."

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, there was a moment of silence, and then two hands slowly rose.

Qiu Tu glanced at the people who had raised their hands, mentally compared them with the information Mu Ye had given him, and then slowly said,

"Those who are so utterly immoral as to provoke a global backlash are unacceptable."

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, a person whose face was shrouded in a layer of white mist, making it impossible to see their features, slowly withdrew their hand.

Qiu Tu added calmly, "Even if someone is so ruthless and vicious that the shelter would retaliate with nuclear weapons, that won't work."

The person whose face was shrouded in white mist sighed softly and put away the other one as well.

Qiu Tu: .....

......

at the same time.

The real world. Dongye Prefecture. Dongcheng City.

Because it was already late at night, the sky was no longer the gray haze of daytime, but was covered by a thick layer of ink.

The stars, like scattered pearls, shimmered in the boundless darkness.

In the dim light, shadowy figures silently crept towards the Dream Moon Villa area.

There were guards from the 8th shelter patrolling the road, but since they were all ordinary people, it was impossible to spot them.

And so, they successfully reached the perimeter of Villa No. 1, where security gradually increased.

Not only were there ordinary people patrolling the road, but also disaster victims lurking in some blind spots around the area.
