The smile on Lin Xi’s face completely disappeared.

He looked sullen, staring intently at the few figures outside the palace gate. How could this be possible?

He had clearly watched them walk into the Imperial Palace with his own eyes, so why were they now standing intact outside?

Could it be they never entered at all?

Then those who went in earlier... what were they?

Lin Xi could never have imagined that the intricate traps he had painstakingly set up all fell upon those Advanced Puppets that had used the Blinding Technique.

Indeed, the real Shen Tang and the Beast Husbands had long hidden in the shadows, and the accompanying Beastmen had all been taken into her space. What had entered were just the Advanced Puppets she had elaborately crafted, all for the purpose of uncovering the truth of the entire situation.

Although she wasn’t clear about the secrets Lin Xi harbored, it was obvious to all that something was off about him.

At such a moment, only a fool would follow his pace! Wouldn’t that be akin to jumping into the fire pit?

As expected, reality proved them right; Lin Xi indeed harbored nefarious intents!

Shen Tang looked at that familiar yet unfamiliar figure and spoke coldly, word by word, "The plan was indeed perfect, but unfortunately, you were too hasty and exposed yourself."

"Your Majesty, what are you saying? I don’t understand... Perhaps there’s some misunderstanding between us, please, let me explain, okay?" The Snow Deer Youth put on a pitiful expression again. He bit his lip lightly, his clear and gentle eyes filled with confusion, attempting to approach her.

Xue Yinzhou, Xiao Jin, and Lu Xiao had already stood like a barrier in front of Shen Tang, watching him vigilantly and coldly. If he dared to take another step, he would definitely die horribly!

Lin Xi was forced to stop his steps, "Your Majesty, I..."

"Enough! How long do you intend to keep pretending? Isn’t this laughable?" Shen Tang curled her lips coldly, "You’ve done so much just to gain my trust, lure us here, and trap us with the pre-set cage, making us your prey to manipulate. Isn’t this what you wanted?"

"If I’m not mistaken, the current Imperial Palace is probably already an empty city filled with vengeful spirits, just like that small town. Why isn’t there a single living person? Because everyone has been killed by you, becoming the lonely souls you sacrificed, all to create that kind of monster!"

Shen Tang coldly looked at the remnants left behind after the death of the Old Emperor, the twisted and terrifying figure still discernible.

She tightly clenched her fists, her face full of uncontainable anger.

"Killing so many innocent people, not even sparing your closest kin... Lin Xi, you truly deserve to die!"

She recalled the scene when she initially saved Lin Xi, feeling both angry and absurd, as if even that encounter was something he meticulously designed, just a means to get close to her and gain her trust!

Even the unusual cold snap that has raged over the Northern Territory for so long is very likely caused by Lin Xi himself, with the purpose of obscuring the truth of the people’s disappearance, or perhaps... hiding an even more terrifying intention!

After all, relying on Lin Xi alone, it’s unlikely he could stir up such a big storm.

The Snow Deer Youth listened quietly to all of this, no longer arguing. His once gentle as water eyes grew colder, as if covered by immense cold frost.

After Shen Tang finished speaking, he instead of becoming angry or ashamed, lightly started clapping and laughed, "Your Majesty is truly smart, worthy of someone I deeply admire, even my little schemes have been seen through by you, truly leaving one with no ground to stand on..."

Since the conspiracy had been exposed, he couldn’t be bothered to pretend any further, straightforwardly admitting it.

He sighed regretfully, "If only Your Majesty wasn’t the person they were looking for, but alas, there is no ’if’ in this world, Your Majesty is on their must-kill list, I can only kill you."

"Otherwise... I truly wanted to spend the rest of my life with Your Majesty."

He looked at her with eyes full of admiration, eyes both familiar and strange, making Shen Tang nauseous.

Her voice grew colder, "’They’? So you’re indeed in cahoots with the aliens! Why are you doing this, aiding outsiders to harm your own kind?"

"My own kind?" Lin Xi seemed to hear an enormous joke, covered half his face and laughed madly.

A terrifying aura suddenly erupted around him, his figure rising and transforming, "A bunch of lowly Lower Realm People, how are they fit to be compared with me? They deserve to be sacrificed!"

The pitch-black sky pressed down, and a raging blizzard howled like ghosts, the noble snow-white Snow Deer stood on the glacier, the majestic antlers on its head seemingly made of ice and snow, exhibiting a translucent hue, so beautiful and sacred, yet around it swirled violent and filthy aura!

After revealing his true form, the secrets Lin Xi wanted to hide had nowhere left to hide.

Shen Tang saw at a glance the red hand-shaped mark on his back.

As they suspected, Lin Xi was indeed a descendant of the aliens!

The aliens have no mercy towards the Beastmen of the Beast World Continent, they come solely for invasion.

Looking at the tragic state of the Old Emperor’s death, it’s likely that the Eldest and Second Princes mentioned by Lin Xi won’t have good fates either!

No wonder there has been hardly any news from the Eternal Winter Empire over the years; it turns out this empire fell sooner than they imagined.

Likely, this is the largest base for the aliens!

"Enough, stop the nonsense, why waste words with them? Hurry up and kill them!" A middle-aged female cloaked in black walked out impatiently, none other than Lin Xi’s mother, the Empress of the Empire.

This mother and son duo stirred up storms, holding the Eternal Winter Empire tightly in their grasp, turning the entire nation into a burial ground on the Icefield!

"Yes, Mother." Lin Xi’s voice became respectful.

His silver deer eyes coldly swept across Shen Tang and them, spitting human words, "If we drag on any longer, those master above might get anxious, Your Majesty might as well obediently meet your end!"

He no longer suppressed his strength, the Primordial Beast Tier pressure was explosively released, countless Ice Blades formed out of thin air, attacking with a sonic boom!

Lu Xiao instantly conjured a Wind Wall to block the attack, while Xiao Jin was shrouded in surging Thunder, forming a protective barrier around his body, forcing his way through the dense onslaught, punching fiercely towards the two!

Lin Xi let out a cold laugh, his figure unmoved.

There was only a rumbling thunder heard from the ground, as an immense twisted figure broke through into view, an altered experimental subject.

The experimental subject was covered in hard scales, directly blocking Xiao Jin’s attack!

The pressure it emitted was stronger than what they had seen in the laboratory before, its form more massive and oppressive, like an immovable mountain. After fusing with the blood of the Blood Clan, these experimental subjects’ strength had reached the terrifying Primordial Beast Level!

The smile on Lin Xi’s face grew even more gentle, "Let my esteemed elder brother accompany you all for a good game."

"Roar——!!"

The experimental subject’s eyes were blood-red, letting out a deafening roar, the surrounding space seemed to tremble as it struck fiercely at Xiao Jin, instantly smashing him into the ground!

Xiao Jin only felt all his bones about to be crushed, as if crushed by a mountain!

He gritted his teeth, Thunder suddenly gathered in the sky, like a blade striking the experimental subject!

"Boom!"

The experimental subject let out a miserable screech, retreating several steps back.

Xiao Jin took the opportunity to break free, delivering another ferocious punch.

But the defense of this monster was astonishing, and such powerful Thunder only caused superficial damage!

When the experimental subject attacked again, Xiao Jin transformed into his Black Panther form with a leap, agilely dodging the attack. His sharp claws struck the Mutant Species at great speed, only to scratch the outer defense, leaving a shallow scar.

If it can’t be severely injured in one hit, then go for quantity.

If once doesn’t work, then a hundred times, a thousand times, a million times... he doesn’t believe this thing will stay standing forever!

The battle between both sides caused heaven and earth to change color.

Lu Xiao intended to step forward to help, but another experimental subject with equally terrifying aura emerged from the ground, it was the Second Prince who should have been guarding the fiefdom.

Another fierce battle broke out between both sides, the terrifying energy explosions causing the surrounding mountains and Icefield to crumble in large chunks, making the entire space seem as if it was about to shatter.

And the ground tremors did not stop, instead becoming more intense.

Countless powerful Mutant Species crawled out from beneath the earth, forming a siege, surrounding Shen Tang and her companions.

Today, no one should think about escaping.

This place will be their burial ground!
