Let them offer their loyalty!-Chapter 699 - 385

"Elder Fang..." Qiu Tu paused for a moment, involuntarily remembering Fang Ming, his old acquaintance.

Guan Xiao hummed in affirmation and continued, "Cao Songqing is one of Elder Fang's most trusted non-familial confidants and played a very important role in Elder Fang's rise."

"During the rule of The Five Elders, he also served loyally by Elder Fang's side as his deputy."

"Many of the Fang Family's dirty deeds were handled by him. His hands are stained with blood."

"He has no interest in the pleasures of the flesh but is keen on the camaraderie of the jianghu. So, in his time with Elder Fang, he gathered many from the jianghu, even acknowledging many as his disciples."

"Surrounding Cao Songqing, they formed a not insignificant gang."

"Later on... as you might guess, the Sanctuary began to lay its plans for turning Xinjie City into the Planning Area, sending General Ye to clean up in advance."

"As a result... his gang, along with his disciples, were caught or killed."

"He had the mind to organize resistance, but was subdued and spared by Elder Fang's men."

"After that, with The Five Elders out of power, Elder Fang took him to Longshan Road for resettlement."

"But perhaps due to the heavy blows he took, he became a bit mentally unstable—sometimes manic and sometimes silent."

"And since he was living alone with only a caretaker arranged by Elder Fang, there weren't many who came to visit."

"So gradually, he became marginalized on Longshan Road."

"At first, we didn't suspect him. It was only when little Xiao became the black cat investigating Longshan Road that we unexpectedly found that the caretaking auntie seemed off, as if a lot of her life had been drained away, leading us to list him as a suspect."

Guan Xiao was beautiful and her speech carried a trace of languidness, like a graceful cat brushing its tail gently against your ear...

Qiu Tu lifted his head from the documents, glanced over her bright red lips that slightly parted and then inquired, "Life drained away significantly?"

Hearing this, Guan Xiao gave a bright smile, nodded, and said seriously, "Yes."

She explained, "This is related to the Evil God possessing Cao Songqing."

Upon mentioning the Evil God, Guan Xiao turned much more solemn.

She spoke earnestly, "The Evil God is known as 'Muye.' According to records from the Political Department, it's a Fifth Order Evil God."

Hearing "Fifth Order Evil God," Qiu Tu's pupils shrank slightly.

Guan Xiao continued, "But it's not a Peak Fifth Rank Great Evil God like Zhao Ji; it's just an ordinary Fifth Order Evil God."

"Moreover... because its abilities aren't really suited for combat, it only occupies a region of the 'Boundless Heart Sea.'"

Hearing this, Qiu Tu breathed a slight sigh of relief and continued to flip through the documents.

After leafing through a few pages, he suddenly thought of Yan Chen. His hands stopped moving, and he asked, "So it's able to break through to the Fifth Order because of its abilities?"

Guan Xiao smiled and nodded, "Impressive, Bureau Chief. I merely mentioned a couple of pieces of information, and you've already analyzed it."

She affirmed, "Yes. The reason 'Muye' is a Fifth Order Evil God has something to do with its Cataclysm Path and abilities."

"Although the Sanctuary doesn't have detailed data about 'Muye's' abilities... there are some speculations."

"The Cataclysm Path of the Fifth Order Evil God 'Muye' is suspected to be the rare 'Immortality.'"

"Immortality..." As Qiu Tu murmured the name of this Cataclysm Path, his gaze fluctuated slightly.

During this period, Qiu Tu had also come to understand the six major Cataclysm Paths: Destruction, Life, Mystery, Immortality, Order, and Chaos.

Among these, Destruction, Life, Order, and Chaos were more common.

Mystery and Immortality were far rarer.

Ultimately, it's because the Cataclysm Path must resonate with a person's 'true heart.'

Only when a person truly desires something from their heart, they may find themselves on that path.

However, Mystery and Immortality are far removed from ordinary humans. Many do not even know what these paths signify.

For instance, 'Immortality' is about being undying, everlasting through time. But... how could ordinary humans be undying and eternal?

Usually, it's the long-lived Cataclysmic Creatures, or... creatures that have died but resurrected due to certain reasons, that embark on this path.

Cataclysmics and creatures of this path are notoriously stubborn and insidious. Many possess abilities so bizarre, they send shivers down your spine.
