Let them offer their loyalty!

Qiu Tu has been keeping a close watch on the Sixth Sanctuary for a reason.

There are only three Sanctuaries in the Northwestern Region.

The Eighth Sanctuary is Qiu Tu's base; he has reached the level of Sanctuary Leader, so it's best not to make rash moves.

Qiu Tu is actually quite interested in the Seventh Sanctuary, but...there aren't many opportunities.

One must understand that in human society, power alone cannot decide everything. With strength, you can overturn the table, but rebuilding order still requires people.

Unless someone is truly invincible and plans to become a loner, they are certainly subject to the constraints of rules.

Although the major Sanctuaries are part of the Human Alliance, they are in fact independent kingdoms.

Without proper reason, or even...without an invitation from within the Sanctuary's powers, other Sanctuaries' forces cannot easily enter.

Entering without permission is tantamount to challenging that Sanctuary, considered an infringement on the Sanctuary's sovereignty.

Thus, Qiu Tu, lacking connections within the Seventh Sanctuary, has no chance to meddle in its affairs.

Moreover, Qiu Tu knows there are several traitors among the upper echelons of the Seventh Sanctuary, yet he cannot intervene—each Sanctuary is independent and equal in status; as a leader of the Eighth Sanctuary, he simply has no way to investigate the Seventh Sanctuary.

As for...establishing a Ninth Sanctuary on his own.

After Yan Chen's reminder, Qiu Tu actually had this thought.

But the Ninth Sanctuary is not something that can be achieved overnight.

Currently, his direct lineage force is barely managing to control the Four States.

And establishing a new Sanctuary also requires meeting various conditions and gaining the recognition of the Human Camp; it's not something that can be done just by dividing the land.

Therefore, if he wants to continue advancing in the short term, the Northwestern Region only leaves the Sixth Sanctuary as an option.

But to reasonably and legally intervene in the affairs of the Sixth Sanctuary, he must find a suitable reason.

At this moment, as Qiu Tu is contemplating the matters of the Sixth Sanctuary, Tang Feifei's beautiful eyes quietly fall upon him.

The battles she fought during this time not only rapidly elevated her power but also tempered her aura, which gradually began to show the demeanor of a superior.

"Are you sure you want to get involved with the Sixth Sanctuary?"

Tang Feifei is already considered one of Qiu Tu's closest allies, so he doesn't hide from her. Nodding slightly, he acknowledges, "This is related to my Cataclysm Path."

Tang Feifei asks, "Politics?"

This is no longer a secret. Back when Princess Xi visited, Kou Xuan had already analyzed Qiu Tu's Cataclysm Path through intel. (Chapter 490)

Later, Elder Tang, Elder Kou, and even Yan Chen deduced Qiu Tu's Cataclysm Path through subtle clues.

Thus, Qiu Tu simply nodded in agreement, "Yes."

Tang Feifei coldly nods in approval, praising, "Indeed, a formidable path."

Hearing Tang Feifei's words, Qiu Tu looks at her and laughs, saying, "Yours is not bad either."

"War?"

Tang Feifei hears this, her amber eyes glancing at Qiu Tu, "Conquest."

"Hiss...." Qiu Tu draws a sharp breath.

Tang Feifei has progressed rapidly during this time, reaching the Peak Fourth Rank in just over a month. (Chapter 560)

She only needs to consolidate her strength to advance to the Fifth Order.

In the Supernatural World, such rapid advancement in strength is hard to hide from those close to you.

Thus, Qiu Tu had already guessed that Tang Feifei's Cataclysm Path is related to this war.

However, he guessed more precisely, thinking it was war—that as long as battles occurred, Tang Feifei's strength would quickly rise.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be "Conquest."

This Cataclysm Path is broader, allowing power acquisition from more domains.

For example, Tang Feifei once conquered Liu Fuping, conquered Qiu Tu, conquered the Investigation Bureau, and now conquering the Heavenly State and Earth State, all resulting in power gains.

This aligns with some of her external behaviors.

After all, what decent woman spends her days fighting and yet enjoys it?

In hindsight, everything has a reason.

With this in mind, Qiu Tu smiles, raises his glass to Tang Feifei, and says, "Very strong."

Tang Feifei's face reveals an almost imperceptible smile, then she lightly clinks her glass with Qiu Tu's, "Just average."

After taking a sip of wine, Tang Feifei looks at Qiu Tu, her amber eyes coldly inquiring, "Care to spar with me?"

Qiu Tu has come tonight as an invitee, so naturally, he won't refuse. He stretches lazily and responds, "Sure."

Tang Feifei now is a bit unscrupulous; before Qiu Tu finishes speaking, she flashes beside him and then raises her leg high, aiming for Qiu Tu's head!

The "whoosh" sound startles Qiu Tu awake, sobering him up!

Gathering all his Cataclysmic Power, he quickly evades to behind the couch, ready to accuse Tang Feifei's sneak attack!

Unexpectedly, in the next moment, Tang Feifei abruptly shifts from strong to soft!

She extends her hands, forming a Tai Chi pattern, then swiftly rotates!

The next second, Qiu Tu feels an immense suction pulling at him!

Qiu Tu puts a little force into his stance to hold firm!

In the next instant, the suction transforms into repulsion! Caught off guard, Qiu Tu is directly flung away!

Meanwhile, Tang Feifei's figure moves forward like a phantom!
