A weak and evil woman was exiled? The beastly husbands risked their lives to protect her

Chapter 171 Does she know you two are brothers?!

Seeing the three-tailed snow fox phantom that suddenly appeared behind Xue Qianxun, Sheng Tianze and Xuan Ying's eyes darkened slightly:
"Snow Fox, how do you possess the Shadow of the Beast God?"

"Could it be that you are a member of the Holy Royal Family?!"

The Holy Royal Family consists of 12 male beastmen from the direct line of the empire's royal family, who were randomly granted bloodline genes by the twelve ancient sacred beasts.

However, Sheng Tianze, as the eldest prince of the empire and the empire's only future heir, had never heard of this secret connection between the empire and the distant Ice Soul Star.

Not to mention, how could the prince of Ice Soul Star possibly be a direct descendant of the imperial family?
but--

He frowned as he recalled a past event that the empire had once suppressed.

"Perhaps." Xue Qianxun narrowed her long eyes and glanced at him and Xuan Ying. "If I'm not mistaken, the First Prince and the Seventh Prince of the Empire are also members of the Holy Royal Family, right?"

"Otherwise, I wouldn't have stayed here with such confidence after hearing that this stone monster had shadows."

The key point is that just one sentence from Jiang Xinli was enough to make the two of them stay put.

Their trust in her is evident.

However, he was a little curious as to how Jiang Xinli had figured it out.
"Yes." Sheng Tianze did not deny it.

Unless absolutely necessary, they would naturally not want to reveal their royal family identity to outsiders.

Xuan Ying looked at Xue Qianxun, who had changed from her usual elegant, gentle, and love-obsessed image to one with a ruthless and murderous aura, and a cold glint flashed in her eyes.

He couldn't help but scoff, "Snow Fox, I didn't realize you were such a convincing charlatan."

"Seventh Prince, you flatter me." Xue Qianxun smiled. "Pursuing a beloved girl and fighting bravely to build a career are two completely different things. Besides—"

He chuckled lightly, "Growing up in royalty, it's common sense to carry several masks. Do you only have one face in public and in private?!"

The moment the words "my beloved girl" were uttered, both Sheng Tianze and Xuan Ying's eyes turned cold.

If there wasn't a stone mutant beast with unfathomable strength in front of them, they would have rushed up immediately and beat him up.

"hiss--"

A faint sound came from the mist.

Sheng Tianze snapped out of his thoughts, looked at the stone giant frozen by Xue Qianxun and Xuan Ying, and said in a deep voice, "It's about to come out."

The stone giant seemed to be struggling to break free from the icy constraints, and spiderweb-like cracks began to appear on the ice that had frozen at the edges of the stone.

"Click~"

Thousands of ice blocks shattered, gradually revealing pieces of brownish-red stones of varying sizes.

"Xuan Ying, let's try again. I refuse to believe we can't force out its phantom!" Xue Qianxun instantly returned to battle mode.

"Alright." Xuan Ying temporarily put aside his displeasure, raised his hand, and countless streams of icy blue water rushed towards the stone giant.

The stone giant suddenly roared with a loud "BOOM!" the moment it was covered by ice and snow a second time.

Countless pebbles broke free from their restraints and shot out in all directions.

The brownish-red mist began to gradually turn scarlet.

The smell of rust gradually faded, while the smell of blood grew stronger.

"Boom——"

The scattered pebbles quickly reassembled in the distance, forming a mangled giant stone monster.

The monster suddenly trembled violently, and the ground cracked open into a deep abyss, from which crimson mist surged forth!

"Roar--!!!"

The giant stone monster roared to the sky, and a dark shadow, as tall as the sky, suddenly rose from behind it.

The dark figure resembled a demon, with menacing fangs, and its shadow enveloped the entire canyon!
It charged at the three of them on all fours, roaring.

Even though it was just an illusion, the earth began to tremble, and boulders rained down from both sides of the canyon. "Heh, finally revealing the true form of the shadow?" Xuan Ying chuckled coldly, his long, flowing, ice-blue hair instantly transforming into thousands upon thousands of wildly writhing green snakes.

Behind him, a gigantic, ethereal figure resembling both a snake and a dragon slowly rose to the ground.

The snake's shadow suddenly swelled, its eyes turning cold and menacing.

"Prepare to attack!"

As Sheng Tianze finished speaking, his golden eyes narrowed, and his long golden hair suddenly rose in the gale, like thousands of golden swords pointing straight at the sky!

"Roar--!"

With a deafening roar, a phantom image of a white tiger as tall as the sky suddenly appeared behind him.

The white tiger's fangs were like knives, and its eyes were like lightning.

His domineering and unparalleled aura was like that of a king descending, looking down upon all living beings!

"Try to finish this quickly." The phantom of a three-tailed snow fox silently appeared behind Xue Qianxun. Its snow-white fur concealed a murderous intent, and its fox eyes narrowed, ready to strike.

"Kill!" Sheng Tianze gave the order.

—Three shadows appear simultaneously!
The green snake's venomous shadow tore and bit like lightning, the snow fox's cold light attacked like a sharp blade, and the white tiger's giant claw, carrying overwhelming destructive power, slammed fiercely towards the dark beast shadow!

In the distance, amidst the crimson mist, a tall, slender white figure slowly raised his hand.

With a fierce flick of his finger, Leng Bai unleashed countless wind blades that, shrouded in mist, hurtled towards the rubble on the giant stone monster.

"boom--!!!"

The crimson mist was instantly torn apart, and the pitch-black beast shadow twisted and shattered under the triple fierce attack, finally exploding into a sky full of black mist!
The giant stone monster that was on the ground let out a final wail, and all the broken stones on its body were shattered by the sharp blade and turned into a pool of brownish-red dust.

Sheng Tianze stopped his attack and stood still. The white tiger phantom roared and dissipated, while the black snake shadow coiled coldly. Xue Qianxun's fox shadow merged with himself.

The white figure in the distance vanished silently the instant the giant stone monster dissipated.

The battlefield has returned to deathly silence.

The crimson mist gradually began to dissipate and fade away.

"What is that?" Xue Qianxun then noticed that a dozen scarlet, blood-red beads were scattered in the red dust.

With a flick of his finger, a cloud of snow mist drifted out, drawing all the beads back from the dust.

“It’s the crystal core of this mutated stone beast,” Sheng Tianze said casually after glancing at it.

Xue Qianxun raised an eyebrow, "A crystal core?!"

Logically, only puppet corpses have crystal cores.

Moreover, not every puppet corpse possesses a crystal core.

However, after arriving on Misty Star, not only did the plant mutant beasts we saw before have crystal cores, but even the stone mutant beast we see now has a crystal core, which is truly unbelievable.

Sheng Tianze: "It is a rare elemental crystal core in the world."

He continued, "If I'm not mistaken, this stone mutated beast should have been formed a thousand years ago."

Xue Qianxun frowned. "You mean, the last time the Gates of Hell opened?"

"Yes." After saying that, Sheng Tianze looked up at the towering snow wall that reached into the clouds. "Now, we can retreat."

After saying that, he suddenly turned to look at Xue Qianxun, who had regained her elegant and noble demeanor:
"Thank you for your cooperation today. However, my mistress, I still advise you not to have any improper thoughts."

"Oh?" Xue Qianxun raised her lips. "May I ask, does Jiang Xinli know your identity as the Crown Prince of the Empire?"

He pressed on, "Did she know that you two are actually brothers?!"

"That's none of your business."

After Sheng Tianze finished speaking coldly, before he could remove the snow wall barrier, a spatial illusion appeared, and he vanished from his spot.
