Hearing Ghost Face God King's words, Qiu Tu shook his head and said seriously, "He didn't overestimate himself. He just grasped the core of this negotiation."
Qiu Tu first looked at the Berserker God King, then at the Ghost-Faced God King, and asked a question, "You don't really think that the 'Immortal Heavenly Tomb' is so firmly connected to us, are you?"
"Our cooperation with them is nothing more than an exchange of benefits."
"So, if he can offer even greater benefits, why can't the 'Immortal Heavenly Tomb' be won over?"
Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Ghost Face God King, who was unaware that "Princess Star Moon" was a bargaining chip, immediately showed a thoughtful expression and then nodded slightly.
However, as a staunch confidant of the Tyrant of Destruction, the Berserker God King knew the specific details of the deal between the two factions. Therefore, he couldn't help but look at Qiu Tu suspiciously and said meaningfully, "But... the bargaining chips that Your Majesty can offer are unique in the world."
He knew that the "Silver-Masked God King" could understand. Qiu Tu did indeed understand.
So Qiu Tu gave him a deep look and replied, "But... that chip could also be taken away."
Qiu Tu didn't explain in detail, but only scratched the surface. However, the Berserker God King understood immediately.
Qiu Tu meant that although Princess Xingyue was the daughter of the Destructive Tyrant, she was still an independent individual.
If the Temple of Order learns of Princess Star and Moon's importance, and the conditions proposed by the Tyrant of Destruction are too harsh, then the Temple of Order might offer to join forces to acquire Princess Star and Moon, and the Immortal Tomb might not be able to maintain its alliance.
Even if the possibility is extremely small, who can guarantee that extreme situations will not occur?
When the time comes, the Destroyer Tyrant won't listen to their explanations.
Therefore, upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, the Mad War God King's expression changed rapidly, and he finally gave a heavy "hmm".
Then he looked at Qiu Tu and continued to ask, "Silver Mask, is there any other valuable information tonight?"
Upon hearing the words of the Berserker God King, Qiu Tu remained outwardly calm, but inwardly he nodded slightly.
Because... at this moment, the Berserker God King was almost entirely "performing" according to his script.
What he needed was for the Berserker God King to actively guide him to reveal the information he wanted to disclose.
In this way, he could guide the Ghost Face God King and the Berserker God King to do what he wanted without arousing their suspicion.
Thinking this, Qiu Tu's eyes behind the silver mask flickered slightly, then lingered briefly on the Berserker God King and the Ghost Face God King, as if he was carefully considering his words.
After a moment, he slowly spoke, "Actually, tonight, I might actually have received some intelligence."
"But... I'm not sure if Qiu Tu is deliberately creating a diversion, or if he's just trying to gain my trust."
"Oh?" The Berserker God King leaned forward slightly, his gaze beneath his metal helmet sharp as a knife. "What intelligence?"
Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu shifted his gaze from the Berserker God King to the Ghost Face God King by the stone chamber window, and calmly uttered a few words, "He seems... to intend to attack Ghost Face."
Upon hearing this, the air in the entire stone chamber seemed to freeze instantly.
The Ghost Face God King, who had been silently listening to the two chatting, suddenly paused, then looked up at Qiu Tu.
The Berserker God King's thick eyebrows furrowed involuntarily.
He slowly sat up straight, unleashing his primal, beast-like aura without reservation, his shadow casting a massive imprint in the stone chamber. He barked, "He dares!?"
At this moment, the Ghost-Faced God King also came to his senses. Leaning against the window, his unfathomable eyes behind the mask flashed with a dangerous light, and he asked hoarsely, "Why did he want to attack me?"
Qiu Tu seemed oblivious to the dangerous aura emanating from the two men. He raised his head, looked directly at the Ghost Face God King, and said unhurriedly, "He didn't say."
"However, he asked to meet me tonight, and his words were all aimed at probing my relationship with Lord Ghostface, as well as the defenses of the prison city."
"Therefore, I suspect that besides trying to disrupt the negotiations between the two factions by influencing the Earth Soul God King, his second target is you."
Both individuals present were seasoned veterans who had survived countless battles, so upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, neither of them flew into a rage. Instead, they immediately began to analyze Qiu Tu's intentions...
After a moment, it was Ghost Face God King who spoke first.
He looked at the Berserker God King and said, "My lord, we have studied Qiu Tu's information."
"He is a very goal-oriented person."
"The reason he asked me is most likely because he really wants to do something."
At this point, he looked at the "Silver-masked God King" in front of him and said, "So, I have two guesses."
"He was either suspicious of Silver Mask's identity and was testing him."
"Or... he's eyeing the prison city."
"Trying to take over the prison city?" Upon hearing Ghost Face God King's words, Berserker God King pondered, as if struggling to analyze the logic behind it.
Seeing this, the Ghost-Faced God-King stopped teasing and asked, "Where is the most powerful and most opposed deity in the entire 'Destruction Court' who holds the strongest opinions against His Majesty?"
The Berserker God King is just not good at using his brain, it doesn't mean he's stupid.
Upon hearing the Ghost-Faced God King's words, a look of realization dawned on his face, and he said, "In Prison City..."
“Yes.” The eyes behind the mask of the Ghost-Faced God King flashed with a cold light. “Yes. In Prison City.”
"Even if we admit today that we underestimated Qiu Tu, Qiu Tu's strength is at most at the level of a Guardian God-King."
"Faced with the endless stream of experts in the 'Royal Court,' his power remained extremely weak."
"Therefore, he needs to find accomplices to disrupt the situation..."
Having said that, the Ghost-Faced God King stopped talking.
However, at this moment, the Berserker God King had fully understood what he was trying to say.
"You're courting death!" the Berserker God King roared, slamming his fist on the stone table beside him. The hard stone table shattered instantly with a spiderweb-like crash, and stone chips fell in a flurry.
"He actually wants to open the prison city and release all the death row inmates? To use them to fight against the royal court?!"
"He's completely insane!"
Upon hearing the words of the Berserker God King, the Ghost-Faced God King's emotions remained unchanged; instead, he said in a gloomy tone,
"But...it really is a good method, isn't it?"
“Especially... the two guardian god-kings who guard the prison city are me and Silver Mask.”
As he spoke, Ghost Face God King glanced at the Silver Mask God King in front of him and said, "In Qiu Tu's eyes, Silver Mask is his companion."
"Then, as long as he takes me down, he can control the entire prison city."
"At that time, he could completely wreak havoc on the entire royal court."
Upon hearing Ghost Face God King's words, Berserker God King stood up with a "whoosh!" and paced back and forth, his chest heaving violently, clearly furious.
Seeing his excitement, Qiu Tu and Ghost Face God King couldn't help but look over and follow him.
After taking a few steps in place, the Berserker God King suddenly turned around, his tiger-like eyes fixed on Qiu Tu and the Ghost-Faced God King, and then said sternly, "We can't wait any longer! We must set a trap immediately and capture him!"
He looked at Qiu Tu and ordered, "Silver Mask, do as we just said! Exploit his weakness for women and set a trap for him!"
Qiu Tu: ....
Qiu Tu truly never expected that the weakness he casually mentioned would be used by the Berserker God King to deal with him, a righteous gentleman.
So, after hesitating for a moment, he said, "Lord Berserker, while this method is feasible, Qiu Tu is inherently suspicious, and ordinary erotic traps might be..."
"Then let's make it extraordinary." Before Qiu Tu could finish speaking, Ghost Face God King interrupted him.
Upon hearing Ghost Face God King's words, Qiu Tu and Mad War God King couldn't help but look over.
Meeting their gazes, the Ghost-Faced God King slowly said, "I have studied Qiu Tu's preferences."
"Although Qiu Tu is a womanizer, he has extremely high standards. Ordinary women are simply not good enough for him. If you want to lure him in, you have to cater to his tastes."
Upon hearing this, the Berserker God King waved his hand dismissively, "Stop keeping me in suspense, what kind of food does he like?"
"From what I understand, he is more interested in women of high status."
Before the Ghost-Faced God King could finish speaking, the Berserker God King hurriedly interrupted him with a look of horror, "Your Majesty's concubine is not suitable."
"His Majesty will kill us."
Ghost Face God King: ....
Perhaps the Berserker God King's idea was too exaggerated, so the Ghost Face God King was silent for two seconds before speaking, "I said they are not the concubines."
Upon hearing this, the Berserker God King quickly added, "The eldest princess is even less suitable."
"She'll kill us herself."
Ghost Face God King: !!
Qiu Tu quietly ate some melon seeds on the side, suddenly finding these two quite interesting: one was clueless, and the other was grumpy...
At this moment, perhaps sensing that the Berserker God King's thoughts were too disjointed, the Ghost Face God King took a deep breath and then said, "What I wanted to say is that I have a confidant who has been with me for many years."
"Even if she weren't a main character, she would still be considered extremely beautiful."
"More importantly, she holds a high position in the royal court and is quite capable. She should suit Qiu Tu's preferences."
Upon hearing Ghost Face God King's words, both Qiu Tu and Mad War God King were taken aback.
Qiu Tu never expected that the Ghost-Faced God King would sacrifice so much to capture him. He was even willing to give up his confidant. Wasn't this a test for his subordinates?
But the Berserker God King was different. He looked at the Ghost-Faced God King suspiciously, then asked, "When did you find a confidant? I've never heard you mention it before?"
This time, however, the Ghost Face God King did not refute it.
He paused for two seconds, then said in a low voice, "Actually, we've known each other for many years. We both have feelings for each other."
"It's just... I felt I wasn't good enough for her, so I just kept pretending not to know."
“This time, I asked her to help me get rid of Qiu Tu. After this is over, I think we might be able to get together.”
Qiu Tu: ....
Although the Ghost-Faced God King was talking about himself, at that moment, Qiu Tu still wanted to say: "It's not a good omen to say things like that, buddy..."

Don't you see, throughout history, countless couples have stumbled because of the thought: "We'll get together after this..."
This buff is almost like a curse, relentlessly breaking up couple after couple.
Moreover... using his own "confidant" as bait, the Ghost Face God King's fetish is truly peculiar.
Thinking this, Qiu Tu, who was just observing, silently scrutinized the Ghost Face God King. Suddenly, he felt that his ghost face mask looked rather green...
At that moment, just as Qiu Tu was thinking this, the Berserker God King also raised a different opinion.
He waved his hand, interrupting, "No. How can we let your woman take such a risk?"
When the Ghost Face God King proposed this plan, he had clearly made the necessary preparations.
He slowly opened his mouth and asked in return, "If you want to seduce Qiu Tu, you have to get a woman with status and power to take the lead."
"Neither of them can be dispensed with."
"If your status is too low, Qiu Tu won't be interested. If you don't have the strength and don't live with Qiu Tu, you're very likely to be taken advantage of by him. Even... once you're taken advantage of, you might not be able to keep Qiu Tu around."
"Those who meet both of these requirements are extremely rare."
"Or... why don't you persuade His Highness to take action personally?"
Upon hearing Ghost Face God King's words, Berserker God King quickly waved his large, fan-like hand, "Then forget it."
After saying that, he looked at the Ghost-Faced God King with a complicated expression and asked, "Then who exactly is your confidant?"
The Ghost-Faced God King was silent for two seconds before saying, "It is the Star-Gazing God King."
"Star Gazing God King?" Upon hearing Ghost Face God King's words, Berserker God King was clearly somewhat surprised.
Seeing this, Qiu Tu couldn't help but sever a wisp of his consciousness and, in the Punishment God Realm, picked up a small leather whip and lashed the Cloud Cat God King, inquiring about the Star Gazing God King's information.
Soon, Qiu Tu learned about the situation of this God King.
According to Cloud Cat God King, Star Gazing God King is a very special God King among the "Destroyed Royal Court".
She is not a God-King of the "Destruction Path," but a God-King of the "Mystic Path." Her strength has reached the peak of the fourth-level God-King realm.
No one knows why she stayed in the "Royal Court of Destruction". All that is known is that the "Tyrant of Destruction" values her highly and treats her with great respect.
They even built a star-gazing tower that reached straight up to the heavens for her to live in.
She rarely leaves her home. She only comes down on major holidays each year to give the divination results she obtained from stargazing.
It could be said that she was a woman of extraordinary refinement. Forget about getting close to her; even just wanting to meet her was extremely difficult.
