The more Pang Haichen thought about it, the more it seemed to be true.

After all, the matter with the Eighth Sanctuary had caused quite a stir, even leading to the fall of two Sixth Tier Evil Gods. It was known throughout the Northwestern Region, and the Fog Hidden Association shouldn't be unaware of it.

Just like when King Kang led the Sixth Sanctuary's hundreds of thousands of troops to sweep through the Disaster Zone, nearly reaching the "core area."

It was also the Fog Hidden Association that sent the Yaksha to respond.

This indicated that the Evil Gods, or the Fog Hidden Association, must have been keeping an eye on the Northwestern Region.

They might not know every detail of the region's development, but they definitely periodically update themselves.

And the fall of the Sixth Tier Evil God is far more severe than the issue of hundreds of thousands of troops.

After all, hundreds of thousands of troops would just be troublesome in battle. But a Sixth Tier Evil God in the "Edge Region" is considered a Super Order, supposed to be an invincible existence.

The fall of the Sixth Tier Evil God in the "Edge Region" suggests that there is now a 'wild' Super Order existence there.

This could likely lead to the loss of control over the "Edge Region."

Thus, the Fog Hidden Association's quick reaction seems quite reasonable.

Thinking along these lines, Pang Haichen couldn't help but calm his mind, close his eyes, and communicate with that 'feeling.' Essentially indicating that he would attend tonight.

This 'summoning' feeling is a special type of Cataclysmic treasure used by the Fog Hidden Association's Area Manager, called the "Phantom Spirit Mirror Array."

The function is simple. Each sub-mirror of the "Phantom Spirit Mirror" can bind to a person's soul aura.

When the main mirror wants to gather organization members, it can use the main mirror to send summoning messages to organization members.

At that point, organization members can respond: attend or not attend the meeting.

Those who attend will participate in the meeting at a fixed time tonight, while those who do not can send a brief reason.

Theoretically, unless in urgent circumstances or if there is a risk of exposure, everyone must attend.

After sending back the 'attend' message, Pang Haichen instantly felt that summoning feeling disappear.

Having confirmed tonight's meeting, Pang Haichen finally relaxed his anxious heart.

At this moment, suddenly, "knock knock knock," the door to his office was knocked.

Perhaps because of the suddenness of the knock, Pang Haichen's just settled mood was abruptly raised again.

With a slight frown, he suppressed his beating heart, then turned and calmly said towards the doorway, "Come in."

The door opened, revealing a beautiful female assistant. A!lwa^y*s! r$e.ad at the s@ource-—M*V@L+EMP@@YR$.

Seeing Pang Haichen, the beautiful female assistant bowed in salute and said, "Old Pang, the convoy is ready, we can go to Princess Xi and Lord Kou's farewell banquet."

Upon hearing the female assistant's words, Pang Haichen responded with a deep "hm" and said, "Alright, I understand."

With that, he glanced at the clock, then stood up and said, "Okay, let's go then."

Today marks the end of Princess Xi and Kou Yu's month-long visit to Dongye State.

Next, they will go to the Sanctuary to meet Rao Shou and Tang Wanfeng for a friendly discussion.

After that, their visit to the Eighth Sanctuary will officially conclude.

As the Two States Guardian of Dongye State and New State, and also the head of the reception team, Pang Haichen naturally has to personally send them off from Dongye State.

Thinking of this, Pang Haichen stood up and walked outside.

Outside, rows of guards were already waiting, and upon seeing Pang Haichen, they saluted promptly.

Pang Haichen nodded slightly and continued to walk forward.

As he walked, his entourage grew larger with each step, quickly forming a small group of dozens.

Majestically departing the State Council Building, Old Pang entered the rear seat of the main vehicle and closed his eyes to rest.

In his leisure, he could not help but ponder the Fog Hidden Association meeting tonight.

As he watched fast-moving scenery outside the window, a smile finally graced his perpetually gloomy face these days...

'Qiu Tu... Zhao Ji... Now that the top brass of the Fog Hidden Association are involved, let's see how you handle this.'

'I don't believe it. Can you really defeat everyone who comes against you?'

.....

Meanwhile.

Qiu Tu stood atop a decrepit building in Earth State - Tianmu City, gazing at the dilapidated city ahead, and sighed deeply.

One must admit, while the Sanctuary has many factions, struggles, and its governance is far from clear, often oppressing the lower-class people; yet... ordinary folks can at least survive in the regions controlled by the Sanctuary.

Moreover, the Sanctuary genuinely treats each city as its foundation, building and developing there.

In contrast, the Disaster Zone is completely different.

Because the Anti-government Armed Forces and Extreme Sect themselves lack much discipline, the Disaster Zone follows the survival of the fittest forest law.

Therefore, everything here is more nakedly exposed.

As a result, most of the lower-class people live in dire straits.

This can be seen from the entire city's dilapidated environment, streets, and walls with dried black blood stains.

Slowly retracting his gaze from the ruins above the city, Qiu Tu turned to look at Zhao Ji's clone beside him and talked about business,

"I didn't expect it to be this easy to take control of the Four States."

Even though it's just a clone, Zhao Ji still retained the same cold demeanor.

She looked at the entire city indifferently, "Because they are afraid to die."
