Let them offer their loyalty!-Chapter 1453 - 624: The Death of Shen Yuzhou

As a result, just as he was thinking this, suddenly, a man's confident voice sounded in his ear, "In the next life, don't be a beast."

Hearing that voice, Shen Yuzhou's pupils shrank sharply, his heart jolted in shock!

Not for any other reason, but because that voice was from Qiu Tu—the person he had just been 100% sure wouldn't show up here!

In that instant, Shen Yuzhou was overwhelmed by a sudden sense of impending doom!

By reflex, he wanted to chat with Qiu Tu! To buy some time!

But right at that moment! Before he could even speak, he suddenly felt excruciating pain throughout his entire body! Right after, his brain exploded as if it had been crushed—"Bang!"

For a high-level Cataclyst like him, death of the flesh is not the end! So in the next second, Shen Yuzhou's soul was completely separated from his body!

He gathered all his strength, trying to pierce the world's barrier and reach the "Infinite Heart Sea."

For a soul like his, as long as he reached the "Infinite Heart Sea," his chances of survival were quite high!

And even if his luck was bad and he truly perished. Years later, fragments of his soul could still reincarnate into a Cataclyst creature, or even become an evil god!

But just as he was thinking this. Suddenly, another flash of cold light streaked by!

The next second, Shen Yuzhou felt his soul shatter into pieces! His entire consciousness becoming more and more blurred!

He was about to perish completely!

'Qiu Tu?! Where the hell is he! Why did he suddenly attack me!'

In the moment before death, Shen Yuzhou's eyes were wide in desperation, desperately trying to find the enemy who had ambushed him!

And then... he saw, in the darkness, two figures—one large, one small—standing hand in hand, their faces emotionless, neither happy nor sad.

The tall one was... Qiu Tu, who should have been in the "Core Region" advancing his strength. The small one... was clearly "Zhu Wu."

'No, that's not Zhu Wu!'

Staring at the girl's innocent face, and those big, deer-like, watery eyes, Shen Yuzhou's soul trembled.

'Shen Lingshuang... Is that Shen Lingshuang?'

'Qiu Tu didn't... feed her to "Zhu Wu" after all? Instead, he brought her along for revenge?!'

In that instant, Shen Yuzhou seemed to understand: Did Qiu Tu never really intend to bargain with Shen Lingshuang? Did Qiu Tu never treat Shen Yuzhou as a mere test subject?

Were those two incredibly close all along?!

Had he been fooling himself this whole time?

Full of disbelief, Shen Yuzhou's soul floated in midair, hollow-eyed... cracking apart, until it completely vanished...

Watching this scene, Qiu Tu reached out and patted Shen Lingshuang on the head.

Seeing her own father die right before her eyes, Shen Lingshuang tilted her head, a trace of reluctance flashing across her face.

But when she remembered what Qiu Tu had told her, and all that her father had done, her gaze became incomparably resolute once more.

"Let's go."

In a soft voice, Qiu Tu patted Shen Lingshuang on the shoulder.

Shen Lingshuang gave a slight nod, then blended into the darkness. As for Qiu Tu, his form shifted, transforming into Li Feng's appearance.

Then, facing Shen Yuzhou's personal guards who had just arrived, he unleashed, without hesitation, Li Feng's proudest and most ferocious flame ability.

In the next moment, the entire central command tent erupted in roaring flames, burning Shen Yuzhou's corpse!

Immediately, shouts, screams, orders, and chaos erupted throughout the entire military camp.

Fortunately, most of the Third Sanctuary's regular army were Mechanical Men, or else the camp would have already gone up in a full-blown mutiny.

Just like that, the fire raged for over an hour. When it was finally extinguished, Shen Yuzhou's subordinates discovered his charred, unrecognizable body collapsed in the tent, long since fallen...

Just as Shen Yuzhou had analyzed earlier: now, in the entire "Edge Region," the only one who could kill him in such a short time was Li Feng.

And... last night's inferno was clearly one of Li Feng's trademarks. Coupled with the standoff between the Third Sanctuary and Fourth Sanctuary—

Soon, Shen Yuzhou's subordinates all came to the same conclusion: last night, it was Li Feng who assassinated Shen Yuzhou.

Of course, all these subordinates knew this conclusion was a bit presumptuous. But... Shen Yuzhou was the Deputy Speaker of the Third Sanctuary and the Speaker's adopted son. His death was causing a huge stir. If they couldn't point to a culprit right away, none of the subordinates might survive this...

And so, under these circumstances. The next day, the entire Human Camp—all the Sanctuaries—got word that Shen Yuzhou had been assassinated by Li Feng!

At once, it caused an absolute uproar!
