Let them offer their loyalty!

The Black Shadow hummed and then said, "A message from Muye's Messenger."

"I went personally to take a look, and it really was Muye."

Upon hearing this, Old Pang frowned slightly and then said, "So... did Qiu Tu really make a big mistake?"

"This... doesn't seem like his style."

"I always feel like he has something up his sleeve..."

As he said this, Old Pang suddenly seemed to think of something and asked, "Do you think Qiu Tu might have guessed that I am 'the Emperor'?"

The Black Shadow pondered for a moment upon hearing this, and then said, "I don't think so."

"You've been very careful. There's been no hint or clue, how could he possibly guess that it's you."

Hearing the Black Shadow's words, Old Pang frowned even more deeply.

He pondered for a moment and then sighed softly, waving his hand at the Black Shadow.

The Black Shadow, seeing this, stepped back a few steps and quietly disappeared...

Feeling the power of the Black Shadow, Old Pang's gaze became extremely complex.

He picked up the hot tea on the table, took a sip, and his eyes were full of complexity,

"No matter what, Lord Yecha is about to arrive."

"By then, have her kill Qiu Tu and Zhao Ji, and everything will be resolved. No one will ever discover this secret..."

.....

Meanwhile.

Dongye State. State Council. Qiu Tu's office.

Qiu Tu (Uncompromising Simulacrum) took out a specially made communicator and had a long-distance 'video' call with Elder Tang.

This was the most highly encrypted and important form of communication in the Sanctuary.

So, it wasn't long before Elder Tang's image appeared in front of Qiu Tu.

Possibly coming to accept and even admire Qiu Tu more and more, Elder Tang's eyes had a kind smile.

He looked at Qiu Tu, then jokingly said, "I hope you bring me good news."

Qiu Tu:...

Elder Tang was an Old Fox, seeing through people's minds was just basic for him.

Now seeing that his casual comment made Qiu Tu keep silent, he immediately knew it was bad news.

He frowned and then asked, "What happened?"

Qiu Tu knew this matter had to be reported, so seeing Elder Tang's insistence, he slowly said, "Elder Tang... it's like this."

"Didn't I recently catch 'Muye'?"

"I got a lot of information from him."

"As a result, I discovered... in the Evil God Organization 'Fog Hidden Association' that Muye belonged to, there are some human members."

"Moreover, all these human members are high-ranking officials with great power."

"And among them... there's one lurking in our Eighth Sanctuary."

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Elder Tang's expression turned serious.

He seemed to have guessed something and said solemnly, "Who is it?"

Upon hearing Elder Tang's question, Qiu Tu coughed and then said, "It's Old Pang, Pang Haichen..."

The mention of this name visibly startled Elder Tang. His pupils suddenly contracted, and he froze there.

After a moment of stillness, Elder Tang slowly came back to his senses.

Then he stared at Qiu Tu and said very seriously, "Qiu Tu, do you know how serious your accusation is?"

"Pang Haichen is the leader of the 'Academic Faction', one of the highest-ranking individuals in the Sanctuary."

"Accusing him of being an Evil God traitor, if not handled well, you might get caught up in it first!"

Hearing Elder Tang's heartfelt words, Qiu Tu said, "Elder Tang, I know the seriousness of this matter. So... I didn't dare tell anyone, only you."

Elder Tang acknowledged this with a profound "Hmm" and said, "Do you have any evidence on your side?"

Qiu Tu shook his head and said, "None directly. There is some indirect evidence."

"But Old Pang's identity and status are too high. Without the Sanctuary's authorization, I don't dare to investigate him at all."

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Elder Tang thought for a moment and then said, "Don't rush into action. Stay put for now."

"I'll first discuss this with the Speaker."
