His main task today is to adjust the personnel arrangements of the Sixth and Seventh Sanctuaries.

Although he is already prepared to sell the Sixth and Seventh Sanctuaries to the Third Sanctuary, it is just for a few months of transition.

Therefore, the necessary arrangements must still be made, and preparations should be made in advance.

The Seventh Sanctuary, since it was taken down, has its old system completely shattered, making it very easy to arrange.

Qiu Tu plans to promote Tang Feifei directly to the head of the Seventh Sanctuary based on military achievements.

Followed by the arrangement of some civil servants to assist Tang Feifei.

No matter how long she can hold the position, at least gain the influence and moral authority first.

In this way, when the time comes to reclaim the Seventh Sanctuary, the action will have legitimate grounds…

In contrast to the "easy mode" of the Seventh Sanctuary, the Sixth Sanctuary is completely equivalent to Hell Mode.

The Kou family, as the founders and investors of the Sixth Sanctuary, are deeply rooted and unmatched there.

Even King Kang must bow down before them.

Therefore, unless a strong figure is sent to hold the fort, it will be impossible to open up the situation.

As for the candidate, after thinking for a whole day, Qiu Tu has already made his choice.

And that is... Yan Chen.

As Qiu Tu's former superior, Yan Chen's capabilities are clearly acknowledged.

This Old Fox excels in politics, strategy, and strength, making him a top-tier presence in Qiu Tu's faction.

Sending this ruthless man over to let him and Kou Xuan, two Old Foxes, scheme against each other, Qiu Tu eagerly anticipates the intriguing effects that might arise…

As for why he didn't use his direct descendent or confidant, but rather sent a former adversary.

That is because... Qiu Tu feels that the Sixth Sanctuary will definitely be very dangerous next. If he sends his descendants or confidants, he worries they might be harmed.

So he is sending the wily and politically astute Yan Chen over.

If he can win, great; if not, and Yan Chen gets into trouble, Qiu Tu won't be too distressed.

After all, Qiu Tu will make sure to take good care of Yan Chen's "wife" and daughter at that time…

And just like that, the day quickly passed.

In the afternoon, Qiu Tu conveyed his orders to the three major Sanctuaries.

Since the positions promoted by Qiu Tu's confidants are generally arranged as vacant spots, the appointment did not meet much resistance.

Only some of the higher-ups secretly studied these appointments and found a trace of something amiss, though they couldn't pinpoint exactly what...

They probably feel that this appointment is too moderate and doesn't quite match Qiu Tu's usually sharp style of handling affairs…

After finishing official duties, Qiu Tu also followed the morning arrangement and returned to Dongye State with Larilo, ready to start refining the area with the Dragon Vein Seed, to see how much advancement speed can be reduced…

Meanwhile, unbeknownst to Qiu Tu.

The Third Sanctuary, far away in the Southwest Region, is having a heated discussion because of him.

The solemn conference room, with the high dome adorned with various frenzied paintings.

The Speaker of the Third Sanctuary, the head of the Order Faction, Xing Su is seated at the top, coolly watching the several Deputy Speakers argue.

Baron said, "I think this deal is fraught with huge hidden dangers, far from being as simple as it appears on the surface."

"Everyone should have studied Qiu Tu. He tends to act unpredictably and often uses intelligence discrepancies to calculate others."

"Something might go wrong here."

Upon hearing his words, a woman with some exotic features said, "How could there be anything without risk in this world?"

"The greater the risk, the greater the reward."

"That's the control of two major Sanctuaries, accompanied by disaster zones spanning more than ten states. If truly captured, our Sanctuary would become the first to truly straddle two major regions."

"So, I believe as long as the reward is big enough, we should gamble. Being overly cautious and calculating might cause us to miss the opportunity."

Upon hearing her words, Wanyan Zuyu coughed and agreed, "Actually, I also think this trade can be accepted."

"Now, with Candle Dance's strength growing ever stronger, it's increasingly uncontrollable."

"I speculate that once she reaches the peak of the seventh tier, she will likely directly counterattack Shen Yuzhou."

"So, it's better to use her for a deal with Qiu Tu now. She still has considerable value."

As the Deputy Speakers express their opinions, the meeting room suddenly becomes a mess of noise.

In the end, Xing Su, seated at the main position, with a gloomy face slammed the table, saying, "Stop arguing! How disgraceful!"

The Third Sanctuary employs a multi-party election, and the winner forms the cabinet. Therefore, the Deputy Speakers are all from the Order Faction.

Upon seeing their faction leader angry, everyone immediately became as silent as cicadas caught in the winter, not daring to speak.

They bowed their heads, saying nothing.

Seeing this, Xing Su also cast a sweeping glance at everyone present and said, "This matter… isn't just our own issue, but affects the entire Third Sanctuary."

"Although we, the Order Faction, govern for now, once the deal is sealed. We are the ones losing out (Candle Dance), while gaining benefits is for everyone."

"Especially as we, the Order Faction, lose a high-level combat power, competing again for the ruling faction in the next election will be extremely tough."

"So…. I spent this day seeking a promise from various factions."

At the end of his speech, Xing Su's lips curl into a smile.

He said, "After my communication with each faction, they agreed that we just need to control the Sixth and Seventh Sanctuaries, then… we can directly stay in office for the next term."

"Of course, correspondingly, we must share the benefits of the Sixth and Seventh Sanctuaries with them."

Upon hearing Xing Su's words, several Deputy Speakers exchanged glances, seeing suppressed excitement in each other's eyes.

Although they need to relinquish some benefits, which is quite painful, the thought of staying in office makes them feel it's worth it.

After all, in a madman-infested Third Sanctuary, staying in office is incredibly difficult.

You never know which faction might suddenly explode one day and then shoot straight to the top.

And now, having received the assurance from each faction, they will have no worries for the next two to three years.

Thus, the cost-effectiveness of trading with Qiu Tu has significantly increased.

With this thought, the Speakers exchanged glances and made a decision in their minds…
