Then let them offer their loyalty!

The two were clearly not newcomers; they were very familiar with their surroundings and the evil god before them.

Upon hearing the evil god's explanation, the "Nine-Headed Lion's" golden lion eyes flashed with cruelty and cunning. He licked his lips and then said, "So, Fox Face, you mean... Qiu Tu and Zhao Ji have separated, is that right?"

The fox-faced man spoke in a voice as melodious as a woman's, but his true form was a chubby male evil god, completely different from his appearance in the "Spirit Mirror Space".

Upon hearing the "Nine-Headed Lion's" question, he quickly replied with an embarrassed smile, "Reporting to you, sir, it is like this."

"So if we want to take action against Qiu Tu, now is the best time."

Upon hearing his words, the "Nine-Headed Lion" wore a thoughtful expression.

After a moment, he looked at the "jackal" beside him and asked, "Jackal, what do you think?"

Whether intentionally or not, the transformation of the "jackal" was not complete. It had a pair of pointed ears standing upright on both sides of its head, as if it could sense all the dangers around it.

Upon hearing the words of the "Nine-Headed Lion," the "Jackal" slowly opened its mouth and said, "My lord, I think... killing a peak fifth-tier opponent is enough for me alone."

His mouth was full of long, thin teeth, and his voice sounded like fingernails scratching on a blackboard, making one uncomfortable. "Based on our secret on-site investigation a few days ago, the main variable in the Northwest region is that evil god named 'Zhao Ji'."

"She used power close to the peak of the 6th rank, killing Meirenfeng and Miss Yaksha in one blow."

"As for Qiu Tu... he showed almost no reaction at the scene, but the higher-ups of various shelters all say that he defeated a level 6 while only being at level 5, which is obviously a self-serving person."

"I am enough on my own."

Upon hearing "Jackal's" words, "Nine-Headed Lion" remained silent for a moment. Just as he was about to say something, "Jackal" continued, "My lord, when I said I was going to kill Qiu Tu, I didn't mean I wouldn't bother you."

“Zhao Ji clearly has a close relationship with this Qiu Tu.”

"If I were to launch an attack, Qiu Tu would beg Zhao Ji for help. Zhao Ji would likely come to protect Qiu Tu at all costs."

"I think...this is an opportunity."

"You could easily ambush Zephyr in the 'Boundless Sea of ​​the Heart'."

At this point, the "jackal" paused, then leaned closer to the "nine-headed lion" and whispered, "My lord, don't forget, Zhao Ji is suspected to be a 'reincarnation of a goddess.'"

"Qiu Tu had recently helped her steal Mu Ye's 'Shan Gen' (a specific skill/talent) to advance in the next level."

"When she fought against Miss Yaksha, she was probably only at the early stage of the 6th rank."

"To be able to unleash the power of a peak 6th-tier cultivator with only the strength of an early 6th-tier cultivator, and to have slain two 6th-tier evil gods in succession, her rank must be quite high."

"With an opponent like this, no one knows how many cards they have up their sleeve."

"Therefore, even if you are confident, you should still increase the power output by one percentage point."

The "jackal's" words clearly resonated with the "nine-headed lion." He pondered for a moment, then nodded and responded with a soft "hum," "Alright. Qiu Tu is now in your hands."

"Yes, sir." The "Jackal" bowed slightly to the "Nine-Headed Lion," a cruel and excited glint in its eyes...

......

Meanwhile, at Shelter No. 6.

While all forces were being integrated and the plan to conquer the 7th Shelter was in full swing.

Qiu Tu also received the "key to the Kangwang Treasury" from Princess Xi.

It was a crystal key made entirely of translucent crystal. Moreover, it possessed magical powers.

Once you reach the designated area of ​​the treasure vault, silently repeat "open the treasure vault" three times in your mind, then insert the key into the air and give it a final twist, and a vast space will open up.

That was the Kangwang Treasury.

According to records, the Kang King's Treasury was placed in the central area of ​​the 6th Sanctuary by the Kang King.

And the "nose root" is also among them!

According to Princess Xi's explanation, after King Kang recovered his health with her as a one-time-use furnace, he actually wanted to find an opportunity to use "Shan Gen" and then advance to the 6th rank.

But don't forget Princess Xi's second catastrophic ability: cursing all her enemies. (Chapter 578)

She could curse all the high-ranking members of the Lin family at "Partridge Terrace" from thousands of miles away, so cursing Prince Kang, who was always by her side, would certainly be no problem for her.

Therefore, under her curse, King Kang's health has never been particularly good over the years; he often coughs up blood or has nosebleeds.

His previous attempt to advance to the sixth rank before the battle was interrupted, which had already cast a shadow over him. Now that his companions hadn't fully recovered to their peak condition, he naturally didn't dare to advance easily.

However, when he tries to force his way to the next round, his "condition" often worsens.

So, over time, the "root of the nose" was kept hidden away in the treasure trove.

But now, it's Qiu Tu who benefits.

While politics requires a step-by-step approach, the "root of the nose" can be obtained in advance, allowing for early advancement!

Qiu Tu summoned "Da Hai (a 5th-tier dark soldier transformed from Pang Haichen after his death)" and "Captain," and handed them the key to the Kangwang Treasury, instructing them to retrieve it together with Su Wanqing, the representative of the Kou family.

Everything is happening at a breakneck pace right now; every second you advance increases your chances of winning.

So after hearing Qiu Tu's orders, "Da Hai" and "Captain" followed Su Wanqing toward the central area of ​​the 6th Shelter.

Watching them leave, Qiu Tu and Princess Xi turned around, preparing to return to continue discussing the strategy for conquering the 7th Shelter.

Just then, a terrifyingly powerful pressure suddenly descended upon the entire Wangbei City!

At that moment, everyone—Qiu Tu, Princess Xi, Kou Yu, the Dark Soldiers, and the spies from various shelters—looked up at the sky in shock.

Even some of the less capable spies and mid-level officers had fear written all over their eyes.

Because... the overwhelming pressure alone caused the space to creak and groan, clearly indicating that it was nearing its limit.

This power is clearly not something that a fourth or fifth-tier Cataclysm or an evil god could bring.

This is clearly a Tier 6 attack!

Sure enough, along with that aura, a hoarse, extremely unpleasant, and piercing voice rang in the ears of all living beings in Wangbei City, "I am a sixth-tier divine being, Jackal. Qiu Tu, come out and face your death."

Chapter 585 Defeating a Rank 6! (10,000 words, please vote!)

It is an ordinary city in the border state that serves as the 6th shelter.

Because Wangbei City is adjacent to the 7th Shelter, there is actually not much fighting.

In the past few days, the royalist coup attempt has been the largest-scale war they have encountered in the last decade.

Because the Sixth Sanctuary was not developed in the east, and Northview City is not adjacent to the Cataclysmic Zone, Northview City has almost never been attacked by evil gods.

This resulted in the residents of Mong Pak City not having the experience of being attacked by evil gods like the residents of the New Territories and East City.

Therefore, the sudden attack by an evil god, and a level 6 evil god at that, threw the entire Wangbei City into chaos.

Compared to the ordinary people of Wangbei City, Qiu Tu, Kou Xuan, and Princess Xi were much more composed.

Qiu Tu, who had just seen off "Da Hai," "Captain," and Su Wanqing, looked at Kou Xuan beside him and asked expressionlessly, "Is this the Great Evil God from the 4th Sanctuary that you told me about not long ago?"

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Princess Xi's gaze involuntarily turned to Kou Xuan.

She and Kou Xuan had worked together for over a decade, so she knew him very well.

That guy is a cold-blooded monster.

Despite supporting Prince Kang's rise to power, Kou Xuan has always held back against him over the years.

From what Princess Xi learned about Prince Kang's rise to power, it is clear that although the Kou family was supporting Prince Kang, it was more like an exchange of interests, with prices clearly stated.

The fact that the Kou family had not yet joined Qiu Tu's camp yet, but had already informed Qiu Tu of so much crucial information, was quite unlike Kou Xuan's usual style.

Is there some kind of conspiracy? Or... is Qiu Tu really something special?

Because there was so little information, Princess Xi was also unable to make a judgment for the time being.

Just as Princess Xi was lost in thought, Kou Xuan spoke up.

He nodded to Qiu Tu, then smiled gently and said, "Yes. This is the Jackal, one of the two great evil gods of the Fourth Sanctuary that I revealed to you, Speaker Qiu."

At this point, Kou Xuan began to bring up information about the "Jackal," explaining, "The Jackal is a great evil god originating from a peripheral region. Similar to the 'Whale Shark' you knew back then, both are evil gods who, through a series of coincidences, evolved from catastrophic beings."

"According to intelligence from the 4th Shelter, the jackals are violent and cruel, but they are also timid and suspicious."

"He excels at crushing and pursuing enemy forces. He inflicted heavy casualties on several engagements with the 4th Shelter."

"But if he finds that the situation is beyond his expectations, or if he feels that he has been ambushed, then he may collapse and run away."

"In general, he is only good at fighting when he has the upper hand, but he is not very good at fighting when he is at a disadvantage or in a tough battle."

"It was precisely because of this characteristic that the 'Mist Hidden Society' arranged for him to work under the quasi-7th-tier Great Evil God 'Nine-Headed Lion,' and delayed giving him the position of regional head."

After listening to Kou Xuan's words, Qiu Tu nodded slightly.

Su Wanqing had told Qiu Tu all this information long before Qiu Tu reached a cooperation agreement with the Kou family.

Therefore, Qiu Tu had made the necessary preparations well in advance...

With this in mind, Qiu Tu, confident in his plan, didn't delay any longer. He tossed a sentence to the two of them, "I'll be right back," and then took to the air, flying into the sky!

At this moment, the sky over Wangbei City was completely different. The once clear sky had been quietly transformed by a huge black shadow.

The shadow, like a primordial beast, completely enveloped the fiery red sun, and then, like a greedy demon, slowly devoured it.

The light was rapidly contracting, and the whole world seemed about to be swallowed by the endless darkness, like a new apocalypse.

Upon witnessing that scene, Qiu Tu stood in the air, then stared expressionlessly at the terrifying shadow, and said, "What kind of evil god dares to invade my human city!"

"Do you really think my human race has no one left?!"

His voice was authoritative and steady, resounding throughout the entire city of Wangbei.

The people of Wangbei City, who were originally filled with fear, all looked up blankly when they heard his voice.

Then they saw a strange figure standing in mid-air, blocking them from the terrifying shadow.

Meanwhile, the spies from all sides snapped out of their daze at Qiu Tu's voice and hurriedly began sending out the latest intelligence while keeping an eye on the situation.

As radio signals spread throughout the Northwest region, news of the 6th-tier evil god's attack on Wangbei City and Qiu Tu's response spread like wildfire across the three sanctuaries!

At that moment, upon hearing Qiu Tu's question, the enormous shadow in the sky twisted a few times.

The next second, that hoarse, shrill, and extremely unpleasant voice rang out again in the ears of all living beings in Wangbei City, "You are Qiu Tu?"

Now that Qiu Tu had stepped forward, he had no intention of backing down. So he answered authoritatively, "It's me!"

Seeing that Qiu Tu had admitted it, the sinister voice of the "jackal" projected above Wangbei City echoed throughout the entire city.

"You actually have the courage to stand up in front of a sixth-order god like me. It seems you're not entirely useless after all."

After praising her, he changed the subject and said sarcastically, "Or... are you overacting? Did you think you had such strength just because Zhao Ji killed two sixth-tier gods?"

"No way? Because you're seen flying wing to wing with a phoenix, you actually think you're a dragon?"

After he finished speaking, the terrifying shadow that had been twisting in the sky seemed to come alive, writhing a few times in the air. Then it formed a wolf's head, the size of a city, shrouded in black mist, and looked down at Qiu Tu.

He mumbled, "Qiu Tu, stop playing the empty city ploy."

“We have already secretly scouted the area where you fought. The entire area is almost filled with Zeji’s powerful aura of destruction.”

"You did make a move, but your aura was so weak that it was almost negligible."

"It can be said that in the entire battle, Zehime deserves 99% of the credit, while you only deserve 1%."

"As a result, with such a ratio of effort, you actually have the nerve to announce that you and Zhao Ji jointly killed two sixth-tier evil gods."

"Hehehe, what a laughing stock!"

Despite their arrogance and evil, the "jackals" are clearly fighting with their brains.

He seemed to be mocking Qiu Tu, but in a way, it was also a test and a psychological maneuver.

In the real world, a person's strength is never constant, and fluctuations in mood often have a huge impact on their combat effectiveness.

When suddenly stimulated in this way, whether by anger or embarrassment, once emotions run high, combat decisions may be flawed and actions may become distorted.

Don't underestimate these seemingly minor changes. At the peak of Tier 5 or Tier 6, even a slight mistake can determine the outcome of a battle.

Moreover, he didn't just say these words to Qiu Tu, but to the spies in various shelters; to Qiu Tu's many confidants, subordinates, and partners.

Exposing Qiu Tu's true colors could make these people doubt his strength; then, when Qiu Tu fights them, they will hesitate whether to join the fight or whether they will be killed along with Qiu Tu.

This can effectively reduce the efficiency of Qiu Tu's reinforcements, thus buying time for the one-on-one battle between the Jackals and Qiu Tu.
