Then let them offer their loyalty!

She swallowed hard, instinctively wanting to retort.

At this moment, Qiu Tu seemed to have guessed what she was thinking and said, "Don't you think you're not special?"

After saying that, Qiu Tu shook his head and said, "No. You're special."

"You are the head of a powerful force. You have many soldiers and generals under your command. You hold a prestigious position."

"Your strength is formidable. You are the only Tier 6 Cataclysm in the entire Northwest Region, second only to me."

"You have a special constitution and are burdened with two catastrophic pathways."

"And more importantly..."

At this point, Qiu Tu paused, then looked deeply at Princess Xi and said, "You don't like me."

Princess Xi was taken aback.

Qiu Tu said, "I do have many women around me. But they are all there voluntarily."

Perhaps his competitive spirit had kicked in. Before Qiu Tu could finish speaking, Princess Xi interrupted him coldly, "How do you know I didn't do it willingly?"

Qiu Tu smiled and asked in return, "Then do you like me?"

Princess Xi was speechless for a moment at this question.

Seeing this, Qiu Tu waved his hand dismissively and said, "Take your time to think about it. Give me your answer when we meet next time."

"If you still insist when we meet again, then I will definitely accept your loyalty."

As Qiu Tu spoke, his figure gradually darkened and shortened with each step, finally disappearing completely into the shadows...

Watching Qiu Tu leave with such nonchalant ease, Princess Xi's expression kept changing.

To be honest... Princess Xi doesn't really have any special feelings for Qiu Tu for the time being.

However, she did know about the "strange tradition" in Qiu Tu's hometown. Moreover, she knew that all the women around Qiu Tu followed this tradition.

Therefore, after completely siding with Qiu Tu, she was also prepared to sacrifice herself.

The result... Qiu Tu actually didn't want it?!

This definitely made Princess Xi feel ostracized. Furthermore, strong women tend to have a strong competitive spirit and a desire to conquer. The more Qiu Tu disagreed, the more she wanted to force him!

Thinking this, Princess Xi's expression darkened slightly, and she muttered to herself,

'Can we meet again next time?'

'Okay...see you next time!'

After speaking, she slumped back into her chair, her face as cold as ice. Perhaps the movement was a bit abrupt, or perhaps she was thinking about something else...

She felt that her chest, encased in military uniform, was slightly damp...

...

Meanwhile, on the mountain outside the military camp, Qiu Tu also appeared silently.

Standing on the cliff, Qiu Tu looked down at the military camp below, his expression somewhat conflicted.

Princess Xi was arguably one of the most beautiful women Qiu Tu had ever seen, and she also possessed an exotic charm. With the added allure of being a princess, he was naturally interested.

But! You must know that Princess Xi is no ordinary person. This woman... is poisonous!

And all of her catastrophic abilities are related to revenge. Qiu Tu was both envious and worried.

While 66 points of loyalty isn't low, it's not entirely safe. Qiu Tu was genuinely worried about being schemed against by Princess Xi.

Thinking this, Qiu Tu couldn't help but glance at the main tent of the military camp again.

'Let's wait until next time we meet. If her loyalty is still this high next time, then I'll devour her!'

Thinking this, Qiu Tu withdrew his gaze and prepared to attend to another important matter tonight, which was... a grand gift he wanted to give to Princess Xi, Kou Xuan, and Yan Chen, and even... himself.

And his refusal of Princess Xi tonight was, to some extent, related to this...

Thinking of this, Qiu Tu flipped the world upside down and then disappeared into the darkness...

......

5 a.m. Southwest region near Shelter No. 6.

The two armies stood facing each other from a distance, maintaining a balance of restraint and threat.

Meanwhile, in that military camp to the south, Shen Yuzhou, who had lost an arm, was fast asleep...

It's possible that some rare and precious material was used, or perhaps it's some strange and unusual thing being researched by the Third Sanctuary. His left hand, which had been severed by the Queen of Xi, was now sprouting clusters of fleshy buds.

The granulation tissue continued to grow and intertwine, slowly repairing Shen Yuzhou's injured body.

Judging from its ability to repair sixth-tier Cataclysmic beings, its effects must be extremely powerful....

At this moment, while Shen Yuzhou was asleep and the entire military camp was quiet, with only the night watchmen patrolling incessantly.

Suddenly, a buzzing sound rang out inside and outside Shen Yuzhou's room!

That was the alarm sounding as enemies broke in, triggering the defensive magic circle.

Hearing the piercing alarm, Shen Yuzhou was jolted awake! He sat up abruptly in bed, his whole body tense, his eyes wide as he stared into the dark, wanting to see who dared to break into his tent!

Keep in mind that even though he's injured, he's still a veteran Tier 6 Cataclysm user. Aside from Tier 7 experts, it would be very difficult to defeat him in a short time.

If he is not captured in a short time, the assassin will face the encirclement and capture of an army of hundreds of thousands!

Thinking this, Shen Yuzhou couldn't help but quickly analyze his chances of winning in his mind.

There are only two seventh-level experts in the entire "edge area": ​​Qiu Tu and Li Feng, who has gathered the entire "Iron Maiden Legion".

However, although the Fourth Shelter is currently in a standoff with the Third Shelter, Li Feng remains very restrained and has repeatedly stated that it's all a misunderstanding. Therefore, she is unlikely to take action.

As for Qiu Tu... he had already headed to the "core area." Surely he couldn't have run back from the "core area," could he?

Thinking about it, Shen Yuzhou himself felt that the idea was a bit ridiculous.

Just as he was thinking this, suddenly, a confident male voice rang in his ears, "Don't be an animal in your next life."

Upon hearing that voice, Shen Yuzhou's pupils contracted sharply, and he was startled!

Not for any other reason than that the voice belonged to Qiu Tu, whom he had just thought would never appear here!

In that instant, Shen Yuzhou suddenly felt a sense of impending doom!

He reflexively wanted to chat with Qiu Tu for a bit! To buy himself some time!

And then, just then! Before he could even speak, he suddenly felt a sharp, intense pain all over his body! Then, his brain felt as if it had been crushed, exploding with a "bang!"

For such a high-level cataclysmic being, physical death is not the end! So the next second, Shen Yuzhou's soul was completely separated from his body!

He gathered all his strength, wanting to break through the world barrier and reach the "Boundless Sea of ​​the Heart".

For a high-level soul like his, there is a high probability of survival as long as he goes to the "Boundless Sea of ​​the Heart"!

Even if he's unlucky and does perish, his soul fragments could be reincarnated as a catastrophic being, or even become an evil god, years later!

Just as he was thinking this, suddenly, another flash of cold light appeared!

The next second, Shen Yuzhou felt his soul shatter! His consciousness grew increasingly blurred!

He's doomed!

"Qiu Tu?! Where is he?! Why did he suddenly attack me?!"

On his deathbed, Shen Yuzhou's eyes were bloodshot as he desperately searched for the enemy who had attacked him!

Then... he saw two figures, one tall and one short, standing hand in hand in the darkness, their eyes devoid of joy or sorrow.

The older one is... Qiu Tu, who should have continued to improve his strength in the "core area," while the younger one is none other than "Candle Dance."

'No, it's not the Candle Dance!'

Looking at the girl's innocent face and her big, watery eyes like a fawn, Shen Yuzhou's soul trembled.

'Shen Lingshuang...is it Shen Lingshuang?'

'Qiu Tu actually...didn't feed her to "Candle Dance"? Instead, he brought her here for revenge?!'

In that instant, Shen Yuzhou seemed to understand something: Qiu Tu never really intended to use Shen Lingshuang to negotiate with him? Qiu Tu never intended to use Shen Yuzhou as a test subject?

Are they very close?!

Has he been lying to himself all along?

Filled with disbelief, Shen Yuzhou's soul floated in mid-air, his eyes vacant... cracking open, before finally vanishing completely...

Seeing this, Qiu Tu reached out and patted Shen Ling Shuang's head.

Seeing her father die right in front of her, Shen Lingshuang tilted her head slightly, a hint of reluctance showing on her face.

However, when she thought of what Qiu Tu had told her about the things her father had done, her gaze became incredibly firm.

"Let's go."

Qiu Tu patted Shen Lingshuang on the shoulder after saying something softly.

Shen Lingshuang nodded slightly, then disappeared into the darkness. Qiu Tu, on the other hand, transformed into the appearance of "Li Feng".

Then, facing Shen Yuzhou's personal guards who had just arrived, he unleashed "Li Feng's" most prized ability, the Blazing Flame, without hesitation.

The next second, the entire central command tent burst into flames, burning Shen Yuzhou's corpse!

In an instant, shouts, screams, and commands filled the entire military camp, creating utter chaos.

Fortunately, most of the regular troops in Shelter 3 are robots, otherwise they would probably have already been thrown into chaos.

The fire raged for over an hour. Only after it was completely extinguished did Shen Yuzhou's subordinates discover him lying in his tent, his body already burned beyond recognition...

Just as Shen Yuzhou just analyzed, right now, in the entire "edge area," only Li Feng can kill him in a short time.

Moreover... last night's fire was clearly one of Li Feng's preferred methods. In addition, the 3rd and 4th shelters are currently in a standoff.

Soon enough, Shen Yuzhou's subordinates came to the conclusion that Li Feng had assassinated Shen Yuzhou the previous night.

Of course, these subordinates knew this conclusion was somewhat arbitrary. But... Shen Yuzhou, as the vice-chairman of the Third Shelter and the chairman's adopted son, had caused such a huge uproar with his death. If the murderer couldn't be identified immediately, none of these subordinates might survive...

Thus, under these circumstances, the entire human community and all the major shelters learned the next day that Shen Yuzhou had been assassinated by Li Feng!

This caused a huge uproar!

Chapter 625 Entering the Core Area!

The 6th Shelter, Youzhou. The Reformists' Camp.

Looking at the intelligence in her hand, Princess Xi had a strange expression on her face.

'Last night, Li Feng attacked the No. 3 Shelter military camp and then killed Shen Yuzhou?'

'So, this is the big gift Qiu Tu mentioned last night?'

Thinking this, Princess Xi couldn't help but smile.

To be honest... after so many years navigating the officialdom, Princess Xi has always considered herself incredibly daring, often preferring to act outside the rules and take risky gambles.

This is not a good thing for a mature politician.

Just like when she attacked Shen Yuzhou, Kou Xuan thought it was too radical.

Although she insisted, the plan was eventually finalized. However, neither Kou Xuan nor Yan Chen were very optimistic about it.

Unexpectedly, Qiu Tu chose the same method as her?

This gave Princess Xi a feeling of having found a kindred spirit.

For her, who had grown up accustomed to betrayal and solitude, and felt out of place in the world, this was an exceptionally rare experience...

So after reviewing all the intelligence, Princess Xi's smile widened, and she couldn't help but look up in the direction of the "Isolated Mountains"...

Perhaps a lonely person truly feels a heightened affinity for their own kind, so for some reason, Princess Xi also felt a sense of anticipation for seeing Qiu Tu again...

'Seven months? ...It should be soon.'

...

Meanwhile, at the Sixth Shelter, the Central Command, the Kou Family.
