Let them offer their loyalty!

If no one can trace him, wouldn't that put Old Pang under suspicion?

Thinking this, Qiu Tu didn't explain further but instead used spiritual power to transmit a message, "Don't worry, once we catch him, all truths will come to light."

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Rain Butterfly smiled but didn't take it seriously.

Capturing a Fifth-Order Evil God is unimaginably difficult. Not only is their activity elusive and hard to track, but even finding them doesn't guarantee success—what's more, the target is a middle-late stage Fifth-Order Great Evil God!

Qiu Tu had only just entered the Fifth Order.

His prior achievements in cross-tier combat, such as the meeting room battle, were either aided by others (Tang Feifei, Liu Xiongyuan) or through "controlling Evil Gods"… there were no real cases of direct combat victories.

The only exception was the instance where he sliced through a Whale Shark, but back then, both parties were at Peak Fourth Rank (Sanctuary studies), which doesn't count as cross-tier killing.

Thus, when Qiu Tu mentioned capturing Yingfei, Rain Butterfly didn't fully believe him.

However, she was a woman skilled at navigating situations. Her earlier remarks were merely jabs meant to assert her presence, a way to show she, too, could feel jealousy and cared about these matters.

Now, she certainly wouldn't dampen Qiu Tu's enthusiasm.

So, she replied with a smile, "I'll work hard alongside you to ensure we apprehend that suspect as soon as possible."

.....

Meanwhile, inside Old Pang's temporary office, Kou Yu was furiously venting his anger, his face darkened!

"Damn it! Damn it! Some backwater bumpkin from a Planning Area dares to threaten me!"

At this, Kou Yu's eyes burned crimson as he stared at Old Pang, exclaiming, "And you! Why did you stop me?"

"He's obviously bluffing! If he were truly that powerful, why bother with 'controlling Evil Gods' to begin with!?"

Upon hearing Kou Yu's words, Old Pang's face grew grim. Fixing his gaze on him, he replied, "If I hadn't stopped you, were you really planning to kill him?"

"He's the Fourth Fifth-Order Calamity Being in the Eighth Sanctuary! Incredibly valuable!"

"Moreover, even though the Sanctuary has issued him a warning, he remains the Speaker of Dongye State and a prospective upper-level member of the Sanctuary."

"Would you dare kill him outright? Are you mad?"

Kou Yu inhaled deeply, twice, and then snarled, "Fine. Let him get himself killed."

"Didn't he claim that he could kill a Peak Fifth Rank Great Evil God right after entering the Fifth Order?"

"Then let him go after the Evil God Yingfei, who committed the crimes."

"I'd like to see if he truly has the ability to take down one of those seasoned Fifth-Order Evil Gods!"

Listening to Kou Yu's words, Old Pang's eyes flickered....

Truth be told, even he didn't believe in the strength Qiu Tu had boasted about.

But…. ever since arriving in Dongye State, he had made a thorough study of Qiu Tu's background.

This was someone adept at creating miracles....

If the threat were only Yingfei, Qiu Tu might actually pull off a miracle and establish significant merit.

Right now, as he controlled the pivotal moments between Dongye State and New State, he needed to undermine Qiu Tu's influence rather than elevate his profile...

With this in mind, Old Pang's thoughts stirred....

If he could deploy three or four middle-late stage Fifth-Order Evil Gods to ambush Qiu Tu and bury him there, killing him off entirely, wouldn't that be more effective?

Pondering this, Old Pang's mind raced.

Or perhaps… he could go all out, "a lion hunting a rabbit," and have Yaksha stationed along the path to kill Qiu Tu directly.

After all, this time, Yaksha's mission was specifically to assassinate Qiu Tu, Zhao Ji, and seize the Earth Vein Flower....

Capturing Qiu Tu, instead, might yield even more valuable information....

The deeper he delved into this, the more Old Pang felt it made perfect sense....

He quietly mulled over his thoughts,

'The remaining step is figuring out how to lure Qiu Tu out….'
