Let them offer their loyalty!

Since it was idle chat, Tang Wanfeng was also rather casual.

He nodded and then said, "Yes. The probability is indeed a bit higher if contact with the Evil God was made before its creation."

At this point, Tang Wanfeng paused for a moment and continued, "But it's okay... we should be able to meet Elder Pang tomorrow."

"By then, if there are any questions, just ask him directly."

Upon hearing Tang Wanfeng's words, Rao Shou was just about to say something.

Unexpectedly at this moment, Tang Wanfeng's communicator rang suddenly.

Tang Wanfeng picked up the phone, took a glance, and immediately showed a trace of a relaxed expression on his face.

He showed it to Rao Shou for a look and then answered the call.

The next second, as the call connected, Tang Feifei's voice came from the receiver, "Grandpa...."

As soon as she started speaking, Elder Tang coughed.

Tang Feifei paused for a moment, then spoke in a formal tone, "Elder Tang, according to the information provided by Guardian Qiu, after a long journey, we indeed found Pang Haichen's location."

"After that, we trapped him and broke in. We encountered no resistance whatsoever."

"Don't even mention the warning defense array, we almost couldn't even find any people...."

"Finally, we found him in the closet of the hotel room."

"But.... at that time we were shocked to discover.... he was already not breathing."

Upon hearing Tang Feifei's words, initially, Old Rao and Elder Tang didn't react much.

But as soon as Tang Feifei paused, they both immediately detected something was amiss.

"Wait a minute. What did you say? Pang Haichen is dead?"

On the other end of the phone, Tang Feifei let out a deep "hm" and then said, "Yes. He was already dead before we arrived."

Upon hearing Tang Feifei's words, Rao Shou and Tang Wanfeng exchanged a glance, both seeing the gravity in each other's eyes.

For the Sanctuary and the "Academic Faction," Pang Haichen's status and influence were tremendous.

Whether he was alive or dead, the way this "Cleansing Plan" would wrap up would be entirely different.

For a moment, Tang Wanfeng's brows furrowed tightly, and then he asked, "Did Qiu Tu go together?"

Tang Feifei heard this and shook her head, saying, "No."

"Qiu Tu still needs to oversee the Central Hub of the Four States to prevent chaos at the core of the Four States, so I had to hurry there alone."

Upon hearing Tang Feifei's words, Tang Wanli's furrowed brows deepened further.

He had the intention to ask more questions, but Rao Shou beside him slightly shook his head, indicating that there was no need to discuss this topic any further.

So, Tang Wanli remained silent for two seconds and then said, "Okay. I understand."

After hanging up the phone, Tang Wanli was just about to communicate with Rao Shou, to discuss this sudden change.

Unexpectedly at this moment, a butler hurriedly walked in.

Entering the courtyard, the butler approached Rao Shou, bent down, and asked, "Master, Elder Wang, Old Hu, and Elder Lei have all arrived."

Upon hearing the butler's words, Rao Shou glanced up at him, then jokingly said to Tang Wanfeng, "It seems everything is happening at once."

After speaking, he took out his role as the "head" of the Eighth Sanctuary and took the initiative to say, "In that case, let's use the second plan."

Tang Wanfeng took a deep breath and after a moment still nodded....

.....

At the same time.

Qiu Tu was gradually taking over the New State and Dongye State.

With the banner of the Sanctuary, there was hardly any resistance wherever they went.

Even Pang Haichen's die-hard supporter, the State Speaker of New State, Pei Jing, was placed under house arrest and removed from his position early on by people arranged by Elder Tang, without any resistance.

So, it wasn't long before Qiu Tu had effectively gained preliminary control over the Four States.

And by that time, Pang Haichen's corpse had also been transported from the Disaster Zone to Dongye State....
