Then let them offer their loyalty!

Although they were a little unhappy about having to bring two burdens along on the mission, when they heard that this was because Qiu Tu's previous mission had not yet been settled, and that his superiors were dead and there was no one to hand over the reins, the other God Kings could only grit their teeth and accept it.

Of course, more importantly, while Qing'e is a fourth-level God-King, Jasmine's strength appears to be only that of a Celestial God. These two, along with Qiu Tu, would hardly pose a threat to the other seven God-Kings.

However, even so, one of the god-kings suggested that once they left the white mist area, they should lock the two up and return to pick them up after the mission was completed.

Qiu Tu had no objection to this suggestion. Or rather, he now had no objection to any suggestion.

So, after reaching an agreement, the group of 10 headed towards the scouts on the mysterious path beyond the white mist.

Perhaps not understanding what Qiu Tu was doing, Jasmine secretly sent a telepathic message to Qiu Tu while they were walking in the white mist, asking him what he was up to and why he wasn't going to "Chaotic Western Capital" but instead was going to cause trouble for the "mysterious path".

To Jasmine's surprise, Qiu Tu seemed not to hear her message or forget his promise, and didn't reply at all.

This puzzled Jasmine a bit.

Could it be that... Qiu Tu was just bragging all along? He never actually intended to participate in this "Chaotic Western Capital" battle?

But that shouldn't be the case... Qiu Tu isn't that kind of person...

Although Jasmine looked down on Qiu Tu's character, ...that was all in matters of the heart.

Even though Jasmine dislikes Qiu Tu for various reasons, she has to admit that, apart from romantic feelings, Qiu Tu is highly regarded in all other aspects.

Therefore, the thought of Qiu Tu standing her up only flashed through Jasmine's mind for a moment before she immediately dismissed it.

So, Jasmine began to wonder what Qiu Tu was planning to do.

Could it be... that Qiu Tu has other plans in place? Could he directly relocate his group to the vicinity of "Chaotic Western Capital"?

Or perhaps Qiu Tu intends to feign compliance with the current god-kings and wait for the right opportunity to escape?

However, no matter how you guess, Jasmine felt that Qiu Tu was in a bit of a predicament.

Zi Ruo, the God-King, was clearly not a simple person; he had already planned everything out.

With eight god-kings whose strengths check and balance each other, if any of them betray the other, the other god-kings can directly intervene to stop them, or at the very least, send out a message.

Therefore, leaving without alerting God King Zi Ruo is practically an impossible task.

More importantly... Jasmine felt that Qiu Tu's decision to bring her and Qing'e along was actually very unwise.

As a spy, the instinct is to distrust everyone.

Let alone colleagues like Qiu Tu whom you've never even met, sometimes you can't even fully trust your own superiors.

As a result, Qiu Tu disregarded the objections of the others and forcibly brought himself and Qing'e along, which actually aroused the vigilance and suspicion of the other seven god kings.

In just half an hour, Jasmine had noticed the seven god-kings scrutinizing her no less than 10 times.

Clearly, the seven god-kings had gradually formed a small team because of Jasmine and Qing'e, and were subtly excluding Qiu Tu.

Jasmine thought that the seven god-kings would soon begin to test Qiu Tu, trying to find out his background.

It must be said that Jasmine's perception is quite sharp, given her status as a high-level god-king.

Just as she was thinking this, a dark-skinned man with gleaming eyes exchanged glances with the other god-kings, then approached Qiu Tu and said, "Ghost Seal God-King."

"I just heard you say that the intelligence network of 'Destroy the Western Capital' suffered a major blow, and all the other gods except you are dead."

"is this real?"

At this point, he remarked casually, "I must say, you're incredibly lucky. You happened to be on a mission when the incident occurred, which allowed you to escape this calamity."

Upon hearing the words of the dark-skinned god-king, Qiu Tu couldn't help but look over.

How could he not hear the doubt and sarcasm in the man's words?

However, after working on the secret front for so many years, he had long been used to dealing with these suspicions.

Therefore, he stated flawlessly, "Whether the intelligence points of 'Chaotic Western Capital' were truly destroyed, or whether all the gods have perished, you shouldn't ask me that, but rather ask God-King Zi Ruo."

"I was simply following the orders of King Tanida to carry out the mission."

"When we returned, we saw a white fog stretching for dozens of kilometers and a large army assembled."

"I didn't even return to the 'Chaotic Western Capital,' nor did I see King Tanida. I know nothing."

"Even this mission was forcibly recruited, which is not in accordance with the procedures."

"Otherwise, I wouldn't have brought these two prisoners with me..."

Qiu Tu's words were reasonable and well-founded, and his "perspective" was clear, without any third-party perspective, leaving no room for criticism.

So, after pondering for two seconds, that god-king looked at the other god-kings.

The eyes of the other god-kings were also clearly filled with deep thought.

The most important factor that exposes a spy's identity is actually the issue of "perspective." Because many spies have numerous channels and complex intelligence, they may inadvertently reveal things that they shouldn't know or shouldn't be certain about in their capacity.

Like Qiu Tu, if he were just a novice, he would most likely explain his situation to that dark-skinned god-king, or argue with him.

This would easily expose his confirmation that the God-King of the Valley and other deities at the "Chaotic Western Capital" intelligence point had indeed perished.

But as mentioned earlier, as a spy, one's instinct should be to be suspicious of everything.

Even... if the "boss's boss" says the "boss" is dead, does that mean the "boss" is really dead?

Who knew he hadn't been transferred to another mission, but they just couldn't reveal it.

Qiu Tu's answer was perfect, and none of the God Kings could find fault with it, so they were unsure whether to continue probing him.

After a two-second silence, another goddess, who was beautiful and had a hint of allure in her eyes, stepped forward.

With a charming smile, she took over their conversation, saying, "Speaking of the two prisoners of the Ghost Seal God King..."

At this point, she glanced at Jasmine and Qing'e and said, "I don't know if it's just my imagination, but I always feel that their relationship with you is quite special."

"Would the Ghost Seal God King sneak food while on a mission?"

At this point, the goddess queen covered her mouth and giggled.

Hearing the goddess king's words, Qiu Tu didn't care at all. He smiled and said, "Isn't it normal to steal food?"

"Who doesn't sneak a snack while on a mission?"

"Moreover, the mission that King Tanida assigned me was not assassination, but defection."

"They might become our colleagues soon, so how can this be considered stealing food?"

Qiu Tu's answer was perfect; he frankly admitted his problem and explained the reasons, leaving no room for criticism.

Thus, even the goddess king was speechless.

Just then, the third god-king stepped forward.

He seemed to have his own unique intelligence channels, allowing him to contact the God-Kings of the "Immortal Heavenly Tomb" on the outskirts of the "Chaotic Western Capital" without being detected.

So when he heard Qiu Tu's retort, he frowned slightly and said, "What Ghost Seal God King said makes sense."

"However, we clearly have a better way to deal with them."

"Bringing them along despite the mission is ultimately a bit..."

Before he could finish speaking, Qiu Tu glanced at him and said, "You're right."

"But do we have time?"

Qiu Tu's words silenced the several god-kings once again.

The reason they agreed to Qiu Tu's request was ultimately because they didn't have enough time and had to act expediently in a time of crisis.

The transfer of prisoners, especially important prisoners, follows a certain procedure, which can take 1-2 hours even if done quickly.

But with a great battle imminent, which god-king or which squad is certain that they will not go to the front lines and can instead guard the prisoners?

As for simply releasing and killing the two prisoners, who knows if this mission will be handed over later, or if the higher-ups will be interested?

Therefore, even from Qiu Tu's perspective, they would not abandon these two prisoners.

However, although I understand Qiu Tu, upon closer examination, all of Qiu Tu's actions seem to make sense.

But... perhaps it was the intuition gleaned from years of working on the secret front, these god-kings just felt that something was wrong.

Therefore, in the following journey, those god-kings took turns testing Qiu Tu, Jasmine, and Qing'e.

Of course, they don't completely trust each other, so when they're testing Qiu Tu and the other two, they're also testing each other.

The entire trip was practically a giant mobile werewolf game session.

And so they continued on, probing as they went. Soon the group reached the outer edge of the white mist, the area where the "mysterious path" scouts were active.

The 10 people who had been testing each other along the way finally put aside their doubts and probing, and began to prepare to carry out the mission.

这次8位神王当中，有2位4级神王，3位3级神王，剩下的就是1、2级神王了。可谓是兵强马壮。

And the leaders were, of course, those two level 4 god-kings.

Upon arriving at their destination, the two Level 4 God-Kings exchanged a glance and then began to assign tasks.

"As per Lady Zi Ruo's orders, none of us God-Kings are allowed to act alone. Even if we have to split up to track a target, we must ensure that we are in teams of four."

"Only in this way can we ensure mutual cooperation and mutual supervision."

"so..."

At this point, the fourth-level god-king looked at Jasmine and Qing'e beside Qiu Tu and said to Qiu Tu, "Ghost Seal God-king, you'd better find an area now to temporarily settle the two of them."

"Otherwise, we won't even be able to carry out the mission."

Upon hearing this, the other god-kings couldn't help but look at Qiu Tu.

Seeing this, Qiu Tu nodded and said, "Then let's find a suitable place to settle down nearby."

"Then I knocked them unconscious and set up a magic array."

Just then, as Qiu Tu was speaking, a loud "BOOM!" suddenly came from afar!

In that instant, it was as if a bright sun had exploded on the horizon, and the dazzling white light illuminated the entire world as if it were heaven.

Upon seeing this, the faces of the several god-kings couldn't help but light up with joy.

"It's breached! The world barrier of 'Chaotic Western Capital' has been blasted open!" said the dark-skinned God-King.

The goddess-king, with a seductive air about her, smiled charmingly and replied, "It seems everything is going very smoothly."

At this moment, while several god-kings were focused on the momentous event of the breach of the "Chaotic Western Capital",

Qiu Tu's appearance and demeanor, who was standing beside the several god-kings, were slowly changing.

The first to notice something was wrong was the Level 4 God King who had just assigned the work. He seemed to realize something, paused for a moment, and then suddenly turned to look at Qiu Tu.

"who are you?"

Upon hearing his words, the others were also startled awake and turned to look at Qiu Tu.

Then they discovered that the Ghost Seal God King, who had been standing there, had somehow transformed into a handsome young man.

The men's eyes narrowed slightly, and they all suddenly scattered around Qiu Tu, then warily drew their weapons and aimed them at him.

"Who are you...?" Because everything before them was too miraculous, the leading fourth-level god-king clearly wanted to confirm Qiu Tu's identity first.

But before he could finish speaking, a muffled "bang!" was heard the next second!

His head exploded like a watermelon subjected to force!

Blood flew everywhere, splattering onto the other god-kings.

"Have you become so polite after being a spy for so long? You're even trying to chat before you fight?"

"Or have I become too violent and lowered my standards?"

While casually criticizing himself, Qiu Tu waved his hand again.

The next second, the head of another fourth-level god-king, who hadn't even reacted yet, also exploded!

The two level-four god-kings fell within a second of each other, so the other five god-kings hadn't even figured out what had happened when the two bodies slowly collapsed to the ground after a few breaths.

"Bang...bang..."

With the sound of two bodies falling to the ground, the other five god-kings finally came to their senses.
