Let them offer their loyalty!

The clash between the three Sixth Tier and above Evil Gods had an enormous impact.

Even deep at night, the entire "Trading Market" was under flashing lightning and thunder, with even space being torn apart and the World Barrier being ripped open.

So, toward the end of the battle, the Cataclysmics at the real-world "Trading Market" almost all witnessed the frightening doomsday-like scene! It was impossible to hide!

Moreover, after the battle, Qiu Tu returned to the real world to report to Rao Shou and Tang Wanfeng.

And the two, who were already prepared, rushed over during the night.

Such an array couldn't be concealed at all.

So, within just a few hours, almost all members of parliament and governor-level officials in the Sanctuary knew about Qiu Tu and Zhao Ji teaming up to slay two Sixth Tier Evil Gods!

This was the first time in the publicly available intelligence across the entire Northwestern Region!

After all, the Sixth Tier Evil Gods! They are the true powerhouses found only in the "Boundless Heart Sea - Core Region."

And previously, the Sixth, Seventh, and Eighth Sanctuaries had but a few Fifth Order beings.

Such an achievement propelled the already renowned Qiu Tu to sudden prominence in the eyes of all top officials!

The ups and downs Qiu Tu experienced over the past two years, his thoughts, his political line, all intelligence started to be laid out on the desks of those high-level officials.

They were not thinking of winning over Qiu Tu—do they even have the qualifications to attract Qiu Tu now?

They were thinking about... whether they should align with Qiu Tu!

After all, what is most dependable in chaotic times? The gun is the most dependable!

Why was Rao Shou able to become the Supreme Councilman of the Eighth Sanctuary? Was it not because he was the first warlord in the Northwestern Region!

And in the Supernatural World, personal strength and the gun are equivalent!

Now, the Sixth, Seventh, and Eighth Sanctuaries don't even have a single Sixth Tier Changer, while Qiu Tu already has the ability to slay a Sixth Tier Evil God.

Even if he might have relied on external forces, and even if his foundation is still lacking and his wings not fully developed.

But! In a certain sense, he has already gained the power to overturn the table.

Although Qiu Tu might not be able to accomplish something major, he can certainly stop the three major Sanctuaries in the Northwestern Region and those hundreds of Evil Gods from achieving something!

This is enough to prove that Qiu Tu has the right to "deal cards at the table!"

And once Qiu Tu can "deal the cards at the table," with the generous characters of Rao Shou and Tang Wanfeng, they will surely offer territory (including departments) and resources!

This not only shows their sincerity but also ensures Qiu Tu continues to stay in the Eighth Sanctuary.

In this way, his forces may be weak, but with such a large "territory," he will inevitably need a multitude of confidants and personnel.

So, once his trust is earned, a meteoric rise is just around the corner!

And that is opportunity!

Members of Parliament or State Speakers, because they are high-level themselves, might not be particularly tempted.

But for those stuck in the position of a reserve Member of Parliament or State Deputy Speaker for years without a background but with capabilities, they begin to stir...

For a time, due to the deaths of the two Sixth Tier Evil Gods, the entire Eighth Sanctuary became tumultuous.

Moreover... because this matter can't be kept confidential, the news is rapidly spreading to the Sixth and Seventh Sanctuaries.

The impact of slaying the "Yaksha" and the "Beautiful Wind" is increasingly growing with the passage of time and quickly changing the political dynamics across the entire Northwestern Region!

...

Meanwhile.

Just as the news of Qiu Tu and Zhao Ji slaying the Sixth Tier Evil Gods was spreading rapidly.

Qiu Tu was also assigning tasks in the State Council of the "Trading Market."

With the momentum of a major victory, let alone the few Deputy Speakers of the New State, even if Pang Haichen were here, it's likely he wouldn't dare confront Qiu Tu directly.

So, assigning tasks went very smoothly for him.

Tang Feifei was fighting outside, Liu Xiongyuan and Dai Yukang maintained security, continuing military control over the New State.

Li Tingdong repaired the streets and arranged the reception for Rao Shou and Tang Wanfeng, the number one and two figures of the Sanctuary.

Everyone knew that Qiu Tu, who had slain the Sixth Tier Evil Gods, had officially set himself apart from all of them.

And after the meeting was dismissed, Qiu Tu specifically kept Dai Yukang behind.

Dai Yukang, being kept behind, was a bit at a loss.

After all, with Qiu Tu's current influence, any upper echelons of the two states, even if they had some hesitations or pretensions before, now they surely had none.

Moreover, Qiu Tu now in the two states counts as strong and well-fortified, with numerous confidants.

Whether it's Tang Feifei, Liu Xiongyuan, or Rain Butterfly, with just a word, commands and arrangements could be made.

So, there was no reason to need Dai Yukang indeed.

But, as Qiu Tu is willing to give Dai Yukang an opportunity now, Dai Yukang is naturally eager to make the most of it.

So, once others left, Dai Yukang promptly ingratiated himself by offering Qiu Tu a cigarette, then inquired, "Speaker, by keeping me here, do you have any other instructions?"

Hearing Dai Yukang's words, Qiu Tu did not directly answer but instead gave Dai Yukang a deep look and then asked, "Old Dai, can I trust you?"

Upon hearing Qiu Tu, a sharp attention flickered behind Dai Yukang's frameless glasses as he earnestly assured, "Of course!"

Qiu Tu, hearing this, nodded slightly, then took a drag of his cigarette and slowly said, "You were the one who established the security system for the two states, and most of the Security Departments in all cities are your people."

"I now need you to do something for me. Go and monitor all mid-to-high-level people in the two states, to find out if there are any showing a sudden change in character or exhibiting any unusual phenomena..."
