Let them offer their loyalty!
Chapter 976 - 475: The Speakers Astonished by Qiu Tu (10,000 Words for Monthly Ticket!)

Those who become a State Speaker have all climbed their way up from the bottom, step by step.

Some may lack strength, some may lack intellect, but certainly, none lack political awareness.

After all, the higher you go, the more similar everyone's abilities are. At that point, it all comes down to each person's political position and opportunities.

In the realm of political standings, no matter which faction or which magnate one leans towards, there is a chance to make it to the end.

But aligning with the Evil God is a certain path to death!

As the archenemy of the Human Camp, the conflict between the Evil God and humanity is literally to the death.

So, this is a red line! Whoever touches it, dies!

Especially for someone in a high position like Qiu Tu, once touched, the problems become even more severe!

Thus, when Qiu Tu spoke, the entire meeting room fell silent for a moment.

Even those Speakers with deep cultivation could not hide their shock.

And Huang Shangzong, sitting at the head of the table, had his expression darken completely.

As the Speaker of Dongye State, whether for better or worse, he bears both the credit and responsibility for anything that happens in his State.

The "betrayal" and "Degeneration" of a Deputy Speaker would undoubtedly undermine his reputation at the Sanctuary and might even cause other leaders to distrust him.

At that moment, he felt his blood rising, pounding painfully against his temples.

Perhaps due to the shock of the news, or perhaps because good news turned bad so suddenly, at that moment, a violent destructive urge emerged in his heart.

Fortunately, Huang Shangzong acutely detected something amiss.

He also realized he might have been influenced by the Cataclysm Path, so he quickly took several deep breaths to calm the agitation in his heart.

Then, with a pair of authoritative eyes, he looked sternly at Qiu Tu and said in a deep voice,

"Allying with the Evil God?"

"Speaker Qiu... I think you should choose your words carefully."

"Do you understand how grave a crime it is to ally with the Evil God!"

Even though he repeatedly tried to control his emotions, the recent breakthrough to Fifth Order made it difficult for Huang Shangzong to fully control his power. So at that moment, his aura still swept through the entire room.

The heavy Fifth-Order pressure stirred in the meeting room, intensifying the already tense atmosphere.

While the other Speakers were tense, Qiu Tu was not.

Having witnessed Zhao Ji's world-ending techniques, he simply wasn't intimidated by Huang Shangzong's pressure.

So, like nothing was wrong, he coughed once and then said, "Speaker, I know you're anxious, but let's not rush."

He fiddled with the "Crystal Cage" in his hand and then spoke earnestly, "My collaboration with the Evil God was not without reason."

Qiu Tu's eyes revealed a hint of reminiscence, "Everyone should be aware of the incidents that recently occurred in Xinjie City."

"Larilo fell because of Chairman Liu and Chairman Ye. The position of Xinjie Territory's Domain Master was left vacant."

"Following that, Zhao Ji made a sudden 'Projection Descent' in Xinjie City. Her presence not only intimidated everyone in Xinjie City at the time but also deterred other Evil Gods from attempting to seize Xinjie City."

With just a few simple sentences, Qiu Tu brought everyone back to that turbulent moment.

Especially since several Deputy Speakers in the room originated from Xinjie City, memories flickered in their eyes.

Qiu Tu lit a cigarette, drew on it, and continued, "At that time, a friend proposed a bold plan to me: using an Evil God to restrain another Evil God!"

"Her idea was, since Zhao Ji's aura from dealing with Larilo made other Evil Gods wary to approach..."

"Then... we could potentially seize control of Larilo in turn, and use Zhao Ji's aura to keep the other Evil Gods at bay, giving us a window to take control of the Xinjie Territory and become its Domain Master."

Hearing Qiu Tu's words, the faces of several Speakers gradually showed deep thought.

Holding the cigarette between his fingers, Qiu Tu tapped in the air methodically and emphasized, "And as everyone can see, the outcome..."

"Xinjie Territory has successfully become the first region controlled by our Eighth Sanctuary!"

"And thus, Chairman Tang became the first Domain Master of the region."

Upon hearing this, several Speakers glanced at Tang Feifei.

But Tang Feifei, seemingly lost in thought, watched Qiu Tu with eyes becoming clear and moist.

Qiu Tu saw Tang Feifei's watery gaze, but given the situation, he did not respond.

After all, there's a specific place and time for everything. Though meetings, outdoors, and changing rooms can also be places to eat... none are suitable when others are around!

He thought, "There will be plenty of time to eat later."

With that thought, Qiu Tu continued, "Following that, beyond the authorization of the Sanctuary, we made a deal with an Evil God and obtained a piece of priceless intelligence."

"It was due to this intelligence that our Eighth Sanctuary managed to gain a significant position within the Human Camp."

"It also led to the emergence of several Domain Masters and Fifth-Order Calamity Beings in our Sanctuary."

Hearing Qiu Tu's words, whether it was Liu Xiongyuan, Dai Yukang, Li Tingdong, or Ye Mingfeng, they all involuntarily turned to look at Huang Shangzong.

Though Huang Shangzong's expression remained dark, he slightly nodded his head.

This trip to the Sanctuary did indeed reveal to him many secrets, and he acknowledged the significant contributions that Qiu Tu and Tang Feifei had made for the Eighth Sanctuary.

At that moment, seeing the groundwork laid, Qiu Tu started to address the main issue.

He took a puff from his cigarette, then slowly stated, "It's because of these two matters..."

"I've realized... The Evil God isn't such a devastating monster."
