Chapter 3628: Using the Imperial Maiden as a Letter of Allegiance, Trying to Cling to Jun Xiaoyao's Thigh

Tu Si never imagined that Chan Hongzhuang would actually strike at him.

Chan Hongzhuang, as the Imperial Maiden of the Soul Devouring Clan, possesses considerable cultivation.

Moreover, with the continuous support of the Soul Devouring Heaven-Swallowing Ancient Formation, her cultivation has been steadily rising.

This sudden attack caught Tu Si completely off guard.

In an instant, Tu Si felt his Primordial Spirit in the sea of consciousness suffer an unprecedented shock.

His Primordial Spirit instantly cracked, like shattered porcelain.

Hmph!

A muffled groan escaped him as Tu Si was violently flung backward, feeling as if his skull were about to split open.

"Imperial Maiden, my lord, what are you doing...?"

Tu Si trembled violently, his Primordial Spirit on the verge of collapse, as he gazed at Chan Hongzhuang.

His eyes filled with extreme shock and bewilderment.

Why would Chan Hongzhuang strike at him?

"Do you think you can hide your thoughts?"

Chan Hongzhuang's tone now carried an icy indifference.

Her gaze looked down upon him from above.

Tu Si froze, realizing that what Chan Hongzhuang referred to must be his affection for her.

But even so, would that warrant an attack?

"Heh... it seems you truly haven't noticed anything at all..."

Chan Hongzhuang suddenly let out a soft, enchanting laugh, utterly alluring.

Yet this seductive, soul-stirring smile inexplicably sent a chill through Tu Si.

"Imperial Maiden, my lord, what do you mean by these words?"

"Do you really still think I am the former Imperial Maiden of the Soul Devouring Clan?"

"What?"

Tu Si felt as if struck by lightning, his entire body frozen, his expression one of utter disbelief.

Not the Imperial Maiden of the Soul Devouring Clan?

Could it be that she...

"Impossible, how could this be..." Tu Si exclaimed in disbelief.

It has always been said that the Soul Devouring Clan seizes other living beings.

Yet there has never been talk of other beings seizing the Soul Devouring Clan.

This is simply impossible.

No wonder Tu Si finds it so hard to believe.

Naturally, Chan Hongzhuang will not elaborate further.

After all, her identity as a transmigrator is her greatest secret.

"I have no reason to explain anything to you, but you claim your loyalty to me is unwavering—yet that may not be true."

"You have long been stirring me to act against that Jun Xiaoyao—could it not be that you wish to use a knife to kill?"

Chan Hongzhuang's words left Tu Si speechless for a moment.

Earlier, he had indeed harbored such thoughts, wishing for Chan Hongzhuang to deal with Jun Xiaoyao.

"But I did all this for the sake of the Imperial Maiden..."

Tu Si still wished to defend himself, for he naturally did not wish to die.

"Therefore, I think using you as a letter of allegiance would not be a bad choice." Chan Hongzhuang said.

Upon hearing this, Tu Si's heart suddenly turned cold.

Letter of allegiance—this means...

"How could it be? Do you intend to ally with that Jun Xiaoyao..."

Tu Si recalled something else.

Earlier, he had also wondered why Chan Hongzhuang paid so much attention to a Luo Feng.

Now, upon reflection, that Luo Feng had once clashed with Jun Xiaoyao.

In other words, Chan Hongzhuang has actually been aiding Jun Xiaoyao all along?

This is simply unacceptable to Tu Si.

The Imperial Maiden he adores most has actually been helping his most hated enemy all this time!

And most importantly.

Jun Xiaoyao is a member of the Cloud Clan.

And the Cloud Clan and the Soul Devouring Clan are absolute mortal enemies and blood feuds.

Tu Si's eyes turned blood-red as he stared fixedly at Chan Hongzhuang.

"No matter who your true identity is now..."

"But at least for now, you are the Imperial Maiden of the Soul Devouring Clan, yet you aid Jun Xiaoyao, who bears the Cloud Clan's bloodline and is our mortal enemy—you..."

Tu Si's heart burned with resentment.

He has done so much for Chan Hongzhuang.

Yet now it seems the fool is actually himself!

And why would Chan Hongzhuang secretly aid Jun Xiaoyao?

Tu Si is not foolish; he immediately realized that Chan Hongzhuang wants to cling to Jun Xiaoyao's thigh.

As the Soul Devouring Clan's Imperial Daughter, she actually clung to her enemy's thigh.

Tu Si practically hated her to the point of madness.

Chan Hongzhuang showed not the slightest mercy, unleashing the Soul Devouring Grand Art.

In a pair of eyes like black obsidian, there seemed to be an endless vortex, threatening to suck Tu Si's very soul inside.

Chan Hongzhuang did not kill Tu Si directly, but instead used the Soul Devouring Grand Art to completely control his soul and thoughts.

Then she handed the Recording Stone that documented Luo Feng's cultivation of the Soul Devouring Grand Art to Tu Si.

"Hand it to Jun Xiaoyao." Chan Hongzhuang said.

"Yes..."

Tu Si nodded, like a numb walking corpse, his figure receding into the distance.

Chan Hongzhuang's beautiful eyes were deep.

"This way, that Jun Xiaoyao should know it was I who arranged things in the dark."

"However, towards my overture of goodwill, what will his attitude be?" Chan Hongzhuang couldn't help but wonder.

She was extremely interested in Jun Xiaoyao, in every sense of the word.

But she also knew that a man like Jun Xiaoyao would be very difficult to control.

Moreover, her current identity was still the infamous Soul Devouring Clan's Imperial Daughter.

The Yun Clan and the Soul Devouring Clan were mortal enemies.

Before, Chan Hongzhuang had always used Qiu Muyu to indirectly contact Jun Xiaoyao, rather than contacting him personally.

It was because she feared that her identity as a member of the Soul Devouring Clan might make Jun Xiaoyao feel aversion and disgust.

It was precisely for this reason that Chan Hongzhuang had secretly planned multiple times to help Jun Xiaoyao.

For instance, the matter of the Demon Sword King before, and now the matter of resolving Luo Feng.

It could be said that although Chan Hongzhuang was a wicked woman.

With her scheming methods and depth of character, she was indeed a virtuous wife beyond compare.

The premise being, if one could truly win her heart.

"Alright, next those fellows from the Soul Devouring Clan should also make their appearance."

"I still need to play my role well." Chan Hongzhuang murmured to herself.

She was skilled in scheming, and also adept at utilizing all manner of conditions.

At present, the Soul Devouring Clan still had some use to her.

So she would not discard this identity for the time being.

Next, Chan Hongzhuang sat cross-legged in the eye of the formation, continuing to absorb the power within the Soul Devouring Swallowing Heaven Ancient Formation.

And on the other side.

Within the Shanghun Ancient Realm.

Jun Xiaoyao led a group of powerful cultivators from the Carefree Alliance and the Yun Clan.

They directly turned the tables and hunted down the rebel cultivators.

With Jun Xiaoyao present, there was naturally not the slightest problem.

Those rebels who came to reinforce suffered catastrophic losses.

Clearly it was a turtle in a jar, intending to surround and annihilate the Cangmang cultivators.

But now, they themselves had become the prey.

"Damn it, it's that Jun Xiaoyao again, where is the Chosen One of the Dark Realm, why doesn't he come out and deal with that Jun Xiaoyao?"

A rebel creature shouted in anger, frantic with panic.

"The Golden Imperial Clan and the others have lost contact, I'm afraid they've met with more ill fortune than good."

"How is that possible, could it be that the Chosen One of the Dark Realm was also dealt with by that Jun Xiaoyao?"

Some rebel creatures were still dazed right now, unclear on the situation.

"Where is the Soul Devouring Clan, why haven't they made a move yet?" A rebel cultivator roared in anger.

And at this moment.

In the depths of the center of the Shanghun Ancient Realm.

Black wind howled, soul mist permeated the depths of the void.

Suddenly, a crack appeared.

Within it, a pitch-black great door shockingly emerged.

The Soul Devouring Swallowing Heaven Ancient Formation spread across the entire Shanghun Ancient Realm.

All its essence surged into this pitch-black great door.

Boom—!

That pitch-black great door opened, as if opening the gates of ancient primordial chaos, an ancient aura spread out.

A line of black shadows emerged!
