Help! The Villainess Trapped in the Beast World's Drama!

Chapter 611: Chapter 553: Our Leader Invites You to Meet (1)

In the shadow of the air, a tall and slender figure suddenly appeared.

The man had silver hair and violet eyes, his posture was elegant and tall, with a mysterious and gloomy aura, emitting a chilling and intimidating presence.

The moment he appeared, the surrounding air seemed to freeze, causing hearts to palpitate with fear.

Beside him stood a graceful and stunning silhouette.

The female’s appearance was absolutely beautiful, her smile as gentle as water, yet a fierce killing intent lurked in her eyes.

That voice just now came from her mouth.

The Old Emperor and Empress on the bed suddenly changed their expressions dramatically, shouting in panic, ”How did you, how did you break in?”

”There are assassins! Call for help! Save the emperor!”

The Old Emperor was so frightened that he rolled off the bed, but he couldn’t escape in time. Black Fog silently rose in the palace, and a large invisible hand suddenly stretched out from the air, grabbing his throat and lifting him into the air.

The commotion outside had alarmed the entire Imperial Palace, and the army quickly surrounded the palace.

Soldiers raised their guns, aiming at the two intruders, and the leading general shouted sharply, ”Release Your Majesty and the Empress immediately! Otherwise, don’t blame us for being ruthless!”

The Old Emperor, strangled, his face flushed and nearly suffocated, still forced himself to shout in panic, ”What do you want? As the Monarch of the Night Glow Empire, breaking into our palace, do you intend to start a war?”

Xue Yinzhou just sneered coldly, his grip not diminishing but intensifying, ”The dead should have self-awareness.”

The Old Emperor’s face grew even paler.

No matter how he struggled, the other party showed no intention of loosening their grip, clearly determined to take his life!

The Old Emperor was thoroughly frightened, stammering, ”You, your Night Glow Empire is not known for peace? Coming so openly to assassinate, how is this different from those infamous rebel armies!”

Though panicked inside, he was sure that Shen Tang and her group dared not truly kill him, only threatening to achieve some purpose.

As long as the crime of the rebel army was pinned on them, he was certain Shen Tang wouldn’t dare act!

However, just as he was full of confidence, a crisp sound suddenly echoed in the air.

The triumphant smile hadn’t yet surfaced on the Old Emperor’s face, and he froze abruptly.

Dead eyes unclosed!

Xue Yinzhou casually tossed the lifeless Old Emperor to the ground like garbage.

The Empress beside him couldn’t escape either, pierced through the chest by a blade formed from Black Fog and instantly perished.

Everything happened too fast, the palace army couldn’t react in time.

The next second, an even more horrifying scene unfolded—a flash of white light flickered on the Empress’s deceased body, revealing her true form, a centipede three meters long!

”Oh heavens! The Empress is a bug... so disgusting!”

The Beastmen watching outside the palace gasped.

Shen Tang’s face also showed a trace of shock, clearly not expecting such a scene.

She had heard Lai Fu mention that many Deputies came from the Insect Clan, as the Insect Clan reproduced quickly, and laboratories often used them as tools.

But the Beast World Continent already had numerous insect clan Beastmen, so one couldn’t simply judge a Deputy by their race. The only way to identify them was by checking if their body bore a production mark.

And on the green-black shell of this Empress before them, there was a not-so-obvious blue mark, unmistakably marking her as a Deputy—an insider placed by the Deputy in the Imperial Palace!

No wonder she could produce those insect eggs... truly remarkable!

The entire scene fell silent, everyone too stunned to speak.

At this moment, another black figure emerged in the air.

The individual was tall, cloaked in black, exuding a strange and powerful aura.

The lead general, seeing this person, immediately revealed a look of joy on his face, respectfully shouting, ”Divine Envoy! You finally arrived! These two foreign assassins murdered Your Majesty and the Empress, please uphold justice for us, capture the perpetrators!”

”Courting death!” The Divine Envoy swept his gaze over the Empress’s corpse on the ground, his aura suddenly turning grim.

Clearly infuriated, his superpower surged instantaneously, transforming into two blades striking directly at Xue Yinzhou and Shen Tang!

Shen Tang’s face changed drastically.

Since advancing to the Tenth Rank, few could make her feel such a lethal threat, this Divine Envoy’s abilities were definitely beyond Tenth Rank, most likely at the Primordial Beast Tier!

Xue Yinzhou immediately shielded Shen Tang, Black Fog surging from his body, quickly forming a massive black serpent, swallowing the attack whole.

Boom—!

Superpowers exploded, air currents rolling.

The weaker Beastmen fainted on the spot, even high-level generals in the army were blown several meters away, nearly spitting blood.

The Divine Envoy coldly watched Xue Yinzhou, who dared to face him head-on, a snicker escaped his throat, a mere grain egg against a stone, overestimating one’s capabilities!

How could his power compare to an ordinary Deputy?

Since they dared to come, he would ensure they never returned!

The two instantly engaged in combat, the overwhelming energy fluctuations leveling the entire palace to the ground, even Shen Tang found it difficult to intervene.

Xue Yinzhou’s abilities were still at the Peak of Tenth Rank, not yet breaking through to Primordial Beast Tier.

Everyone thought the outcome was settled, but surprisingly, Xue Yinzhou crossed ranks and slew the Divine Envoy!

After the Divine Envoy’s death, he revealed his true form, also a gigantic centipede, its form larger than the Empress, five to six meters long, a horrific image.

The patterns on his body weren’t green-black but a more esteemed, powerful dark-golden hue.

Xue Yinzhou absorbed the centipede’s energy completely on the spot.

Unfortunately, even after devouring a Primordial Beast Tier expert, Xue Yinzhou’s abilities still couldn’t break through to Primordial Beast Level, seemingly forcibly sealed by some power, unable to cross the final threshold.

This spectacle frightened the army outside the palace into silence.

Until the Eldest Prince arrived with reinforcements, seeing the corpses of the Old Emperor and Empress, his heart lit up with joy—the old thing finally died!

Yet on the surface, he still feigned utter grief, his lips trembling as he angrily reprimanded, ”Father... you killed my father! This is against the peace code! It’s blatant invasion!”

Others also angrily rebuked, ”The Night Glow Empire must give us an explanation! Or once this is submitted to the international meeting, you’ll surely become the target of all!”

Shen Tang merely observed coldly, ”Fine, then let’s leave it to the international meeting to decide.”

Her confident demeanor made the Beastmen outside hesitant.

Actually, Shen Tang didn’t need to come personally. As the ruler of a country, she didn’t need to take such a risky move. If only to assassinate the Old Emperor, sending Xue Yinzhou alone for covert action would suffice, ensuring a flawless execution, leaving no trace.

But her goal was more than that.

Even if they killed one Old Emperor, a new one would ascend to the throne; even if Rosenia was dealt with, another country could cause trouble.

Moreover, the enemy hid in the dark, hard to guard against.

She came this time to settle this matter thoroughly.

The news of Rosenia’s Emperor assassination quickly spread across the entire continent, countries convening an international meeting. Except for the Eternal Night Empire, almost all empires sent high-level representatives.

The meeting was held in Rosenia, and Shen Tang, as the focal point of the incident, naturally attended.

Facing everyone’s accusations and curses, she wasn’t bothered, just smiled lightly and produced a recording of the Emperor and Empress’s secret conversation from that night.

In the imagery, their conversation was crystal clear—plotting a conspiracy, intending to destroy the Purification Tree Seeds.

Once the recording was released, Rosenia’s previously confident accusations were proven false, turning them from victims to perpetrators, and they immediately lost face, speechless.

Shen Tang also took this opportunity to reveal the true purpose of her visit.
