Let them offer their loyalty!

Pang Haichen was the second to last to leave.

Before leaving, he cast a deep look at Qiu Tu, who was seated at the head of the table, a trace of doubt flickering in his eyes.

He wanted to test him, but thinking about the potential danger if he succeeded, he hesitated for a moment and eventually gave up on the idea, instead slipping back into the floor-length mirror.

Walking more than twenty steps back along the path he came, Pang Haichen returned to the real world.

As he emerged, the mist permeating the room began to be swiftly "pulled back" into the mirror.

In no time, the entire room returned to normal.

Pang Haichen was probably long accustomed to this phenomenon, so he nonchalantly sat down on the sofa, his brow deeply furrowed.

The meeting today wasn't actually long, and most of the pace was controlled by "Eternal Night."

Initially, Pang Haichen suspected, "Eternal Night" and "Muye" might be the same.

But now that the meeting was over, his suspicion only deepened.

He even suspected that the "Muye" who came this time was not the real "Muye" but an imposter.

The reason is simple...

The gods in the Disaster Zone bordering the Eighth Sanctuary are not strong. There are only a few Peak Fifth Rank.

This significantly narrowed down Pang Haichen's scope.

Among them, Muye is the Peak Fifth Rank Evil God most deeply entangled with the "Fog Hidden Association."

However, it should be noted that "Muye" had recently fallen.

Even if "Muye" had escaped not long ago and retrieved his little treasure trove to fully restore his power.

In a short period, it would still be difficult for "Muye" to regain the strength of Peak Fifth Rank.

However, at this meeting, "Eternal Night" clearly demonstrated his Peak Fifth Rank strength.

So, there were only two possibilities.

The first possibility is that the "Fog Hidden Association" really recruited more than two Peak Fifth Rank Great Evil Gods near the Eighth Sanctuary.

The second possibility is that the "Muye" who attended the meeting tonight was a third-party disguise.

After this speculation was born in his heart, Pang Haichen couldn't help but recall an intelligence he heard from a Messenger not long ago.

That is, the Yaksha, who once met the escaped "Muye," suspected that the escaped "Muye" was an impostor. (Chapter 505)

And who could impersonate Muye?

Clearly, only Qiu Tu, with his ever-changing methods and the capture of the "Muye," could do it.

Thinking this, Pang Haichen couldn't help but click his tongue.

Not to mention the "Spirit Mirror Space," which requires multiple verifications of identity to enter, just the issue of "Peak Fifth Rank"...

How long has it been since Qiu Tu advanced to Fifth Rank? And he's already at Peak Fifth Rank?

The speed of this power advancement is too fast, isn't it?

Thinking this, an inexplicable sense of urgency arose in Pang Haichen's heart.

After all, Qiu Tu's speed of progress is really too fast, and his endless means make even an enemy despair.

And the more terrifying thing is... he and Qiu Tu have a deadly feud.

With Qiu Tu's character, once he learns about this, he will certainly not let him go.

Thinking this, Pang Haichen couldn't help but make up his mind secretly.

'No... I must find a way to contact the high-ranking members of the "Fog Hidden Association" and report the situation in the Northwestern Region.'

'Let them send experts to fully combat Qiu Tu.'

'Only in this way is there a glimmer of hope to win.'

And just as he was thinking this, suddenly, there was a "thud thud thud" knocking on the door of his study.

Pang Haichen returned to his senses and calmly called out, "Come in."

In the next second, his secretary pushed the door open and came in.

Seeing Pang Haichen, the secretary quickly walked a few steps, came to Pang Haichen's side, and said rapidly, "Old Pang, something's happened."

Pang Haichen had recently become sensitive to these three words.

So he was silent for a moment before he opened his mouth and said, "What is it."

The secretary quickly whispered, "Cao... Councilman Cao was arrested."

Pang Haichen: ???

Pang Haichen looked at his secretary in disbelief and said, "Old Cao was arrested?"

"Who arrested him? For what reason?"

The secretary quickly explained in a rapid but clear manner, "It is said that Councilman Tian couldn't withstand interrogation and informed on Councilman Cao."

"He exposed that Councilman Cao has been selling positions and titles for more than a decade."

"Although the positions were relatively low and were even specially called back to the Academy for training before being sent out for promotion, it was indeed a violation."

"Therefore, the Inspector invited him to go back for investigation."

Upon hearing what his secretary said, Pang Haichen's face alternated between red and white.

He truly hadn't expected that someone around him had gotten into trouble again! Moreover, it was someone of a high level.

The "Academic Faction" only had 7 high-level members. Excluding Huang Shangzong, the traitor, and himself, only 5 were left.

Now 2 have been arrested, leaving only 3!

'What are Rao Shou and Tang Wanfeng doing?!'

'In such a short period, they actually arrested two high-ranking members of the "Academic Faction"! The political impact is too negative!'

'Those who don't know might think they're going to arrest me next!'

Although the events were caused by reasons, because there were too many coincidences recently, Pang Haichen still felt something was wrong.

So, when that joking thought just now was born, he unexpectedly felt a "thud" in his heart for the first time.

He lightly frowned, just about to continue the conversation.

As a result, who knew that at this moment.

The phone on his desk started ringing, "ring ring ring."

Anyone daring to call him at this time, and able to reach him, must certainly have an unusual identity.

At the very least, they would be a Head Level character in Sanctuary.

'Could it be... Old Rao or Old Tang coming to explain or apologize again?'
