Chapter 273 The Feeling of Being Deceived
The demon's face suddenly stiffened, like a frozen sculpture, realizing that he had inadvertently revealed crucial information.
She pressed her lips tightly together in frustration, cutting off any possible way to continue revealing secrets; however, his tightly closed lips and stiff facial expression could not conceal the fanatical worship that flickered in his eyes for the demon god.
Zhi Yan's figure flashed by like a ghost, his longsword flashing with sharp sword light, its cold gleam and crisscrossing sword energy. The remaining demons didn't even have time to scream before they were killed by the sword energy and fell to the ground.
The air was filled with a strong smell of blood, which was nauseating.
The pungent smell of blood was like an invisible giant hand gripping one's throat, making it almost impossible to breathe.
Suddenly, the sky changed, and a powerful pressure descended.
"Quickly recall your souls!" Shen Yunxi's expression changed slightly, and she, Bai Ruoan, Shen Ruoyu, and Shen Ruoning almost simultaneously recalled their companion souls back to their soul imprints.
Shen Yunxi's gaze, sharp as an ice blade, swept over Xiao Chuhuang with a warning, the chill in her eyes seeming to freeze her.
Her tone was icy as she said, enunciating each word clearly: "There are some things you know too much about. Don't say a single word that you shouldn't."
The warning implied here is self-evident: if Xiao Chuhuang dares to leak even the slightest information, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Shen Yunxi's warning was like an invisible shackle, firmly binding Xiao Chuhuang's throat.
Xiao Chuhuang knew perfectly well what Shen Yunxi was referring to, her words were full of hidden meaning and sharp wit.
She subtly swept her gaze over Shen Yunxi, Shen Ruoyu, and Shen Ruoning, finally settling on Bai Ruoan. A hint of doubt flashed in her eyes, and after a moment's thought, she finally couldn't help but ask, "You've all awakened your companion spirits and become Soul Imprint Masters, so why don't you make this public?"
Xiao Chuhuang thought for a moment, seemingly choosing her words carefully, and then added, "This is a momentous event that will bring glory to our ancestors!"
"It's been made public, do you believe it?" Shen Yunxi asked rhetorically, her tone laced with sarcasm.
Xiao Chuhuang's expression froze for a moment, then she smiled bitterly. Yes, wasn't she a living example?
She was absolutely certain of Shen Yunxi's identity back then, and even went to provoke her with a strong sense of superiority. However, she was instead taught a lesson by Shen Yunxi and lost face. Even now, thinking about it, she still feels her face burning with embarrassment.
That humiliation, like a brand, was deeply etched in her heart, constantly reminding her of her past foolishness and arrogance.
Faced with Shen Yunxi's questioning now, what could she do but remain silent?
Xiao Chuhuang felt a surge of anger rising from the bottom of her heart, burning her cheeks, which turned pale and then red.
She, a princess of a nation, of noble status, was actually manipulated by Jiang Shuyue, like a clown being played around!
She had once poured her heart out to Jiang Shuyue, giving him her whole heart, only to find in the end that it was all a joke.
That sincerity was trampled on like it was fed to a dog, rendered worthless and utterly worthless!
Jiang Shuyue might even make fun of him!
How could she possibly tolerate this? This humiliation was even more unbearable for her than being reprimanded by Shen Yunxi!
Xiao Chuhuang took a deep breath, trying to calm the surging emotions in her heart. The anger in her chest was like a volcano about to erupt, scorching her internal organs.
