Chapter 871 Revenge is a Must! (Win an iPad)

Hearing the words of the Silver-Masked God King, which sounded like a venting or a complaint, Qiu Tu felt a little like laughing, but his expression didn't change much.

It wasn't that he empathized with or understood the Silver-Masked God King. Rather, he simply didn't believe the Silver-Masked God King's words.

the reason is simple.

Who is the Silver-Masked God King?

The head of intelligence operations for the "Temple of Order" within the "Court of Destruction." A veteran guardian god-king.

Although his status was not as high as that of a regional governor like Elena, he was still considered an important minister within the "Temple".

Before setting off, Qiu Tu specifically inquired about Elena's "old smoker" information.

Although Elena didn't know who "Old Smoker" was or who the bigwig behind her was, she spoke highly of her, saying that among the intelligence officers of the five major factions, the person in charge of "Destruction Court" was the most capable, and the intelligence was the most timely and confidential.

Therefore, as long as the "Four Giants of the Temple" aren't brain-dead, they will definitely not forget her.

Moreover, Qiu Tu had also served as a head of state. The three most important powers of a head of state are finance, personnel, and military.

Intelligence work is an important part of military operations, so how could it be forgotten?

Therefore, what the silver-masked god-king just said was most likely a lie; he was either creating a persona for himself or testing me.

After all, a god-king who has been in charge of the intelligence work of the "Destruction Court" for many years, and who has even managed to become the head of the "Shadow" unit of the "Destruction Court" intelligence agency, could he be a naive and innocent person?

Qiu Tu prefers to believe that La Riluo is asexual.

Thinking this, Qiu Tu, whose mind was as clear as a mirror, also showed an indignant expression on his face at the right time, and said in accordance with the words of the Silver-masked God King.

"I never imagined that you had suffered so much injustice during your years in the 'Destroying Royal Court'!"

"Don't worry! After this operation is over, I will apply to the Your Excellencies to transfer you back to headquarters."

"Then you won't have to live in fear every day."

Sure enough, upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, the Silver-Masked God King's expression froze slightly.

Although Qiu Tu couldn't see the change in her expression, he could see that her eyes narrowed slightly, and her gaze sharpened for a moment as she looked at him, as if she were scrutinizing him to determine whether he was truly stupid or just pretending.

However, after only a moment, she smiled and brought the topic back, saying, "That won't be necessary."

"Your Majesties are so busy, there's no need for me to bother them with such a trivial matter."

"Moreover, whether it's on the secret front or back conducting research on pathways, it's all for the service of the 'Temple.'"

Upon hearing the Silver-Masked God King's shameless words, Qiu Tu stared directly into the Silver-Masked God King's eyes.

The two looked at each other, and then the next second, they both burst out laughing.

However, upon closer inspection, it becomes clear that both of them were wearing somewhat forced smiles.

And after they finished laughing, as they lowered their heads, they both cursed in unison, "Old fox."

In just one simple exchange, the two realized that they were of the same kind.

This made things much simpler.

This is a prison after all, and we can't have a deep conversation here, so the Silver-Masked God King glanced outside and then said to Qiu Tu, "Now is not the time to talk in detail."

"Meet me in Blackflame City in half an hour. Enter through the east gate; I'll leave you a secret signal."

Upon hearing the words of the Silver-Masked God King, Qiu Tu nodded while controlling the dark soldiers, and then said with a serious expression, "Then, see you then."

Seeing that Qiu Tu agreed, the Silver-Masked God King waved his hand and prepared to dispel the isolation array.

Just then, Qiu Tu called out to her again.

"Wait a moment."

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, the Silver-Masked God King paused in his actions, his eyes behind the mask looking at Qiu Tu with a hint of doubt.

Qiu Tu said expressionlessly, "I will never allow anyone who betrays me to live in this world."

The Silver-Masked God-King was clearly a perceptive person. Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, she hesitated only slightly before realizing that Qiu Tu was speaking with a double meaning.

So she hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Ghost Blade did betray the organization, but she was also bait."

"With this bait, the 'Shadow' faction can be kept hooked on that line indefinitely."

“Once this bait is gone, the Shadow Division will immediately know that other spies are cleaning house.”

"This is for you and for us."

Before she could finish speaking, Qiu Tu interrupted her, repeating with a serious expression, "The word 'traitor' does not exist in my dictionary."

Silver-Masked God King:
This time, the Silver-Masked God King knew what Qiu Tu was doing: after figuring out his own personality, Qiu Tu was trying to use this method to declare or verify his dominant position in this operation.

After all, he had been deeply involved in the "Destroying Royal Court" for so many years, and the entire intelligence system and all the intelligence personnel were under his control. He had even infiltrated the "Shadow Division".

Furthermore, his own strength had already reached the level of a Guardian God-King. No matter how strong this mysterious envoy was, he was not one of the four giants and could not possibly surpass him. Therefore, he absolutely had the ability to sideline this envoy.

In this situation, it is entirely reasonable for the special envoy to establish control of the entire operation through a small but troublesome matter at their first meeting.

This is clearly better than waiting for the operation to begin and having both sides hinder each other.

'This special envoy seems to have a rather assertive personality.'

Thinking this, the Silver-Masked God-King couldn't help but quickly recall the fifth-level God-Kings who were idle at the "Temple" headquarters, wondering which God-King had such a domineering personality, showing no respect for him at all, and also possessing such mysterious methods.

Over the years, although the Silver-Masked God King has been deeply involved in intelligence work within the "Destroying Royal Court," he also has spies and subordinates within the "Temple." He is fully aware of the changing situation within the "Temple."

But no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't think of anyone who could perfectly match the mysterious person in front of her.

Unable to decipher the other party's identity, the Silver-Masked God King began to consider his own choices.

This doesn't seem to be a choice for her.

Although she just said that she had spent thirty years and thirty years after thirty years, she was almost a high-level god-king of the "Destruction Path".

But could she, a guardian god-king of the "Order Path," really possibly defect to the "Destruction Path"?
Even if you want to sideline him, you can't openly contradict him.

Thinking this, the Silver-Masked God King's eyes suddenly became sweet.

Even through the mask, her smile seemed to be visible. She said, "The special envoy is in charge of this operation. Since you insist, I naturally have no objection."

Seeing the Silver-Masked God King back down and relinquish control, the dark soldiers controlled by Qiu Tu couldn't help but smile.

He said, "Since that's the case, then it's settled."

However, no sooner had he finished speaking than the Silver-Masked God King suddenly added, "However, Your Excellency the Special Envoy."

“Once Ghost Blade is killed, the Shadow Division will react immediately. Then I won’t be able to release your clone who’s been imprisoned for a while.” The Silver-Masked God King had clearly turned the tables on Qiu Tu. So his eyes narrowed slightly, radiating a dangerous light.

Ghost Blade was merely a scapegoat. But the clone of this mysterious envoy was a fourth-level God King, possessing immense combat power and capable of countless tasks.

If it were a one-for-one exchange, or if they could only trap this clone, the mysterious envoy in front of them would clearly be at a huge loss.

Therefore, the Silver-Masked God-King thought that the mysterious envoy before him would definitely object and feel embarrassed.

This gives me a reason to regain the initiative.

To everyone's surprise, the dark-skinned envoy in front of him didn't seem to care at all.

He waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter. If it's inconvenient, then let's just keep him locked up."

Upon hearing the words of the special envoy before him, the Silver-Masked God King frowned slightly behind his mask.

'Don't you care?'

'You don't even care about an avatar of a fourth-level god-king?'

In that instant, the Silver-Masked God King immediately became wary of the mysterious envoy before him.

Is this absolute confidence in his own strength? Or is a fourth-level god-king's avatar nothing to him?

Filled with these deep doubts, the Silver-Masked God King couldn't help but become somewhat interested in his meeting with this mysterious envoy that evening.
at the same time.

After directing the dark soldier who had been communicating with the Silver-Masked God King to leave the prison, Qiu Tu, who was a few kilometers away from the prison, slowly opened his eyes.

He stared at the prison for two seconds, then said to Zhao Ji in the "Divine Realm of Punishment," "Sister Zhao Ji, this 'Old Smoker' seems a bit more than he appears."

"If we can win her over, our mission this time will seem to be much easier."

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Zhao Ji, who was sitting cross-legged on the rock and had begun to decipher the "Divine Realm of Punishment" again, slowly opened her eyes and said expressionlessly, "Which one will do?"

Qiu Tu:
at the same time
The stone chamber where Ghost Blade was located.

Since the people from the "Shadow Division" left, the stone chamber has fallen into silence.

Ghost Blade sat there, his clothes half-exposed, his body covered in wounds, giving him a pitiful and broken appearance.

There was probably no one else around. She tore open her tattered clothes and was applying ointment to her fair, smooth chest.

This was her "job" after she joined the "Shadow Division"—to lure in other intelligence agents from the "Temple of Order".

Therefore, she must keep the wound in a state of recurrence but also healing.

This meant that she had to periodically reopen her wounds and apply ointments.

However, she has gradually gotten used to this kind of work.

After all, at least she's still alive, isn't she?

As for betraying her companions to ensure her own safety, she initially felt guilty, but that feeling quickly disappeared.

After all, aren't people on the secret front always living on the edge?

The reason everyone chose this path is to earn this life-saving money. If they hadn't joined the secret front, none of them might have become God-Kings.

Therefore, once you embark on this path, you should be prepared for death.

Death can only be attributed to being outmatched or to carelessness.

Once she understood this, she felt even more at ease becoming the bait.

So she hummed a song as she applied ointment to her chest.

During this period, apart from successfully luring and capturing two companions at the beginning, her greatest achievement was luring and capturing that special envoy today.

For each spy she captured, the "Shadow Department" would reward her with substantial rewards and resources.

Furthermore, the "Shadow Division" promised that they would let her leave once the war was over.

So she had it all planned out: once she had enough resources, she would give up her God-King status through the "Order Path," fall into the "Immortal Path," and then seek refuge in the "Immortal Heavenly Tomb."

Alternatively, she could join the "Life Faction" or the "Mystic Faction".

In any case, the "God-King of Order" is widely welcomed by all factions because of her characteristic of order. She will eventually find a place to go.
As she was thinking this, she didn't notice that a figure as black as ink, like a ghost, slowly emerged from the shadows behind her.
The next second, a crescent-shaped scythe flashed across her neck!

"Stab!"

"Bang!"

With a muffled thud, her head fell to the ground.

Her hands were still in the motion of applying medicine, her eyes wide open, filled with disbelief.

The God-King's powerful vitality allowed her to maintain a glimmer of hope even after being attacked by the "Law of Immortality" and losing her head.

She stared at the dark soldier who appeared behind her, whose demeanor and attire were almost identical to the "envoy" who had been taken away, yet upon closer inspection, it was clear they were two different people. His eyes were wide open.
"Cloning?"

"So...the special envoy actually..."

Being trained as a spy by the "Temple" clearly shows she is intelligent, so she guessed the truth in just a few breaths.

But the dark soldiers didn't give her any more time to think.

The next second, a large foot stepped on her head.

No! No! Please!

Before she could finish speaking, a muffled "thud!" was heard, and her head was crushed by a foot.

Blood splattered, staining this sinful stone chamber.

This had been arranged by Qiu Tu long ago. The second dark soldier, who was lurking in the stone chamber, swung his scythe, and a black flame began to slowly burn on the corpse of Ghost Blade.

In the black firelight, the dark soldier whispered, "Our lord said: As a person with the blood of the Yellow Emperor flowing through his veins, he hates traitors more than anything else in his life."

"Furthermore, he never lets his revenge linger overnight."

After speaking, the dark soldier slowly retreated into the shadows.
This stone chamber was clearly under constant surveillance by the "Shadow Division".

So, not long after Ghost Blade's incident, a sound like the hooting of an owl echoed through the Shadow Division's prison.
Upon hearing that howl, the Silver-Masked God King, who had just met Qiu Tu, stood with his hands behind his back, looking into the distance. His eyes behind the mask remained completely still, like a deep well that had been silent for countless years.
In the blink of an eye, several hours had passed.

It was soon late at night.

As night fell, Qiu Tu strode into Blackflame City to keep his appointment with the Silver-Masked God King—
