Let them offer their loyalty!-Chapter 1564 - 655: Qiu Tu Solved the Puppet Ants Just Like That?

The more Shu Xia thought about it, the more it made sense to him, and he couldn't help but feel more and more excited.

He quickly reviewed the plan in his mind, ensuring there were no major issues, and then turned to the reinforcements from "Si Yuan Pavilion," lowering his voice as he spoke, "Now, it's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

"Qiu Tu has already been held up here by the 'Puppet Ants,' and Zhao Ji has likely secluded herself."

"Therefore, Vice Pavilion Master Man Huang is probably without strong guards."

"Before this operation, I was secretly having people follow Vice Pavilion Master Man Huang. She is currently detained in a villa in 'Eastern City.'

"Eastern City is thousands of kilometers away from the border of the two regions, and it takes more than a day to go back and forth."

"All we need to do is take advantage of the time difference, rescue Vice Pavilion Master Man Huang while Qiu Tu is still stuck here. Even if he receives the news, there is nothing he can do to salvage it."

Upon hearing Shu Xia's words, several of the "Si Yuan Pavilion" reinforcements exchanged glances, with a hint of hesitation in their eyes.

One of the reinforcements spoke up, reminding, "Young Pavilion Master, can it really be this simple?"

"These past few days, we have been gathering intelligence on Qiu Tu, and we found that he has always been known for his strategic prowess, planning three steps ahead."

"If you could find this flaw in Pavilion Master Man Huang's security, couldn't he have anticipated it? Could this be a trap?"

What the reinforcement said was from the heart, but... it was indeed a bit unpleasant to hear.

Thus, Shu Xia's face instantly turned cold.

He said, "Do not turn him into a myth."

"Do you think I haven't seen Qiu Tu's intelligence?"

"His record is indeed legendary, but that does not mean he is truly infallible in his strategies."

"Such achievements surely contain, beyond his own abilities, an element of luck as well."

"So, why can't this be the time when his luck runs out, marking the beginning of his failure?"

After dispelling Qiu Tu's mystique in front of the reinforcements from "Si Yuan Pavilion," Shu Xia paused for a moment, then nodded toward Qiu Tu in the distance and said, "Moreover... don't forget, this time, the invasion of the 'Puppet Ants' is being handled personally by Qiu Tu."

"Tens of thousands of 'Puppet Ants,' probably only he in the whole 'Northwest Sanctuary' has the power to resolve this danger so easily."

"As for the fact that he stayed behind to handle affairs, it is likely temporary. After all, he keeps things simple, not even changing his outer garments, clearly in preparation for leaving."

"I speculate it is because of this temporary arrangement that such a flaw was exposed in a short time."

"Once he completes his affairs and starts rushing back, we would have wasted this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"

After hearing Shu Xia's words, several reinforcements exchanged another glance, ultimately nodding silently.

They felt Shu Xia made some valid points. Qiu Tu is human, not a God, how could he possibly have calculated everything in perfect detail?

So.... perhaps this really is a flaw of Qiu Tu's?

Could there be other possibilities?

For instance.... could the current Qiu Tu actually be a clone? And subduing those tens of thousands of 'Puppet Ants' was actually a play acted out by Qiu Tu using a Treasure or another Cataclysmic being?

Thinking this way, one of the reinforcements suddenly had a moment of realization and said, "Young Pavilion Master, I've just remembered, I have a Cataclysmic treasure which can inspect from afar whether someone is a clone or the true body."

"I think we might want to first verify Qiu Tu's situation, as I've heard he is very cunning, and we mustn't be fooled by him."

Upon hearing that reinforcement's words, Shu Xia's eyes brightened slightly, and he agreed, "That would be best. This way, we can also have some peace of mind."

Receiving Shu Xia's approval, that reinforcement immediately pulled out a piece of paper resembling a "scratch card."

The paper bore two large characters, "Dispelling Charm," with a scratch-off area beneath it like a lottery card.

The reinforcement explained, "This Cataclysmic treasure is called the 'Dispelling Charm Paper.' Its function is to lock onto a person and scratch off the 'winning area,' revealing whether the person is the true body or not on the paper."

"So, whether this Qiu Tu in front of us is a 'clone' or another Cataclysmic being in disguise, it can be directly identified."

Hearing the reinforcement's words, Shu Xia nodded in satisfaction, then instructed, "Try it out quickly."

Upon his words, the reinforcement took the paper, waved it slightly towards Qiu Tu in the distance, and visibly, the paper seemed to illuminate with bizarre golden patterns.

Seeing this, Shu Xia involuntarily sidled over, waiting for the result.

The reinforcement took out a metal token, and started scratching it continuously on top.

In moments, the scratch area was revealed, and the lifelike photo of Qiu Tu appeared on it.

Seeing this, the reinforcement visibly let out a sigh of relief, turned to Shu Xia and other reinforcements, and said, "Qiu Tu is indeed here in his true body."

Upon hearing the reinforcement's verification, all present exhaled a slight sigh of relief.

After all, among those entering the "Edge Region" as reinforcements, most were only at the peak of the Fifth Rank.

Such strength is much more significant compared to ordinary people or regular Catastrophe beings. But in facing Qiu Tu, it was insufficient.

Qiu Tu, an Eighth Rank deity, could take down a Fifth Rank with nearly a single strike. So, avoiding a direct encounter with Qiu Tu was certainly preferable.

With the safety confirmed, the group, leaving one to monitor Qiu Tu, hurried towards "Eastern City" to prepare for rescuing Man Huang.

Of course, the one left behind was the reinforcement capable of using the Treasure to verify Qiu Tu's true body.
