Let them offer their loyalty!

"Descent Conch," a relatively rare Cataclysmic treasure. Its shape resembles a palm-sized conch but is entirely a translucent ocean blue.

Inside the conch, it glimmers like stars and has finely etched world coordinates.

As long as you blow this conch, you can summon the marked person.

Even more remarkably, the conch automatically collects and stores Cataclysmic Power when not in use.

Therefore, when summoning, the conch can pay the "summoning cost" on your behalf.

If you do not cross the World Barrier or if the summoned individual's power is not particularly strong, there is no need to pay any cost.

This treasure is usually used in Evil God invasions. So, when it was crafted, the grandeur of the descent was intentionally made more spectacular.

That's why there was that scene earlier, like the end of the world.

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Muye forced a smile on his face and said, "There's no such thing as a perfect Cataclysmic treasure in this world."

"If the Lord is not satisfied, you can have Secretary Shen modify it a bit."

Upon hearing Muye's words, Qiu Tu waved his hand, "No need to go through such trouble."

After speaking, Qiu Tu put away the conch in his hand, then asked, "Have there been any new messages from the 'core area'?"

Upon hearing this, Muye shook his head and then said, "Not yet."

He pondered for a moment and analyzed, "I guess the 'Fog Hidden Association' is probably troubled by this too."

"After all... the rules of the 'Boundless Heart Sea - Core Region' are for those above the Sixth Rank, only entry but no exit."

"And sending a Peak Fifth Rank to the Northwestern Region for advancement does no good."

"After all, with you and Her Highness Zhao Ji overseeing things, the Sixth Rank can't stir up any waves."

"And even if the Seventh Rank descends for a short time, the cost is too great."

"So most likely, they can't think of a good solution either."

Hearing Muye's words, Qiu Tu nodded slightly in agreement, "Indeed, it is."

"So.... this is our opportunity."

At this, Qiu Tu couldn't help but smile and said, "Tomorrow, contact the 'core area' again and have them send some supplies down."

"Tell them you've found a way to solve the crisis in the Northwestern Region—the civil war within the Sixth Sanctuary."

"It's not only a Sixth Rank Catastrophe creature that can kill a Sixth Rank Catastrophe creature."

"A nuclear bomb.... can also do the job."

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Muye's aged pupils slightly contracted, somewhat guessing Qiu Tu's plan.

He tentatively asked, "Lord.... what kind of supplies should I request?"

Qiu Tu heard this and smiled, beckoning him over, "Come, let me whisper it to you...."

.....

Meanwhile.

At the Sixth Sanctuary, core area, the Kou family, study.

Kou Yu, who had just rushed back from the Eighth Sanctuary, was bowing his head, kneeling on the ground.

His brother, also the head of the Kou family, Kou Xuan, stood before the desk, holding a brush and painting with sweeping strokes.

After finishing a piece of calligraphy, Kou Xuan flipped his wrist, holding the brush, then calmly said to his kneeling brother, "Get up."

"Yes, brother." Hearing Kou Xuan's words, Kou Yu stood up with a goofy expression.

The extremely domineering and arrogant person outside looked like a child in front of Kou Xuan, his face full of flattery.

Even though his power already stood at the top of the Northwestern Region, among the major Sanctuaries, he showed no demeanor or pride of a Fifth-Order Calamity Being.

Gazing fawningly at Kou Xuan, Kou Yu spoke, "Brother. It's really not my fault."

"After leaving Dongye State, I wanted to act. But.... indeed, the opportunity never seemed good."

"Moreover, I was worried that rashly killing so many people couldn't be covered up, causing more problems later."

Kou Xuan didn't even glance at his brother, continuing to hold the brush and appreciate the calligraphy before him.

As he added a few more strokes, he said, "Yes, you were afraid of problems, so you hesitated to act."

"But as a result, you let Princess Xi escape."

"Now my plan is all disrupted, leaving us to set things up hastily, hasn't the problem just become bigger?"

Upon hearing his brother's words, Kou Yu awkwardly opened his mouth to explain but found no words, so he finally closed his mouth.

Kou Xuan clearly was not one to indulge in complaints.

After a brief criticism of his younger brother, he turned to the main topic.

With a deep gaze focused on the painting on the table, without raising his head, he said, "Princess Xi flipping the table this time clearly means she's relying on something."

"Rao Shou and Tang Wanfeng, those two old foxes, have nothing else to pursue apart from their reputations, so it's impossible for them to get involved in an event that could affect their historical evaluations."

"As for the 'Reformist Faction,' 'Free Democracy Faction,' and 'Local Armed Alliance,' it's not that I look down on them, but they don't even qualify to play the game."

"Therefore, Princess Xi's reliance can only be Qiu Tu."

"During this period, I've thoroughly studied Qiu Tu." At this point, Kou Xuan paused and remarked, "This person is not simple...."

For the first time, he raised his head, giving his brother a serious look, "This person is scheming, adept at understanding people's minds, and manipulates intrigues. Very dangerous."

"And what's more troublesome, his strength is also unfathomable."

"Previously, together with Zhao Ji, he had slain a Sixth Tier Evil God."

"Moreover, I suspect that aside from his apparent forces, he likely has other forces in secret."

At this point, Kou Xuan set down the brush and, with his hands behind his back, walked to the French window, slowly saying, "Therefore, I have devised three strategies: superior, middle, and inferior."
