A vicious female is trapped in a beastly hell.

Chapter 212 One of the Three Commanders
Xiao Jin rose through the ranks step by step on the battlefield, participating in hundreds of sieges against the imperial rebels and dealing with them countless times.

No one present knew those bastards better than him, and he instantly recognized the meaning of the skull totem.

Shen Tang was startled, fearing he might mistake her for someone else, so she even drew a picture of the totem. Although there were some differences, she remembered the general shape so clearly that it was almost identical.

After reading it, Xiao Jin was even more certain. He stroked the pattern of the totem with his fingers and explained in a deep voice, "A black skull with a black dagger in the shape of a cross stuck diagonally in the center of the top of the skull. This is the totem of the Imperial Rebel Army, the Third Legion, the Special Death Squad."

“I once led my troops deep into enemy territory and killed one of their deputy generals named Tusang. I would never mistake him for someone else.”

"This army is an elite unit of the rebels. They are extremely ruthless and relentless, often using assassinations. Several high-ranking officials in the empire have died at their hands."

“The Death Squad doesn’t usually deploy easily, but this time they’ve mobilized such a large force. They only have one goal… to kill you completely!” As he said this, Xiao Jin’s aura became frighteningly cold.

Shen Li and Xue Yinzhou also came over and heard the news.

The beastmen's faces were extremely grim.

The assassination attempts against Shen Tang have been relentless, each one more cunning and ruthless than the last, making them impossible to guard against.

Shen Li narrowed his long, fox-like eyes, his usual captivating charm gone, replaced by a cold and aloof demeanor. "How much do you know about the background of this army?"

“This elite force only obeys one of the three commanders of the rebel army, Zaxis.” Xiao Jin said, looking at Shen Tang with a puzzled expression, “But why would they go to such lengths to target you?”

Shen Tang pursed her lips, met the worried gazes of the beastmen, and expressed her suspicion, "I don't know why, but I always have a vague feeling that this unit is related to the black-clad men who tried to assassinate me last time."

Their ruthless methods are practically identical!
Shen Li's eyes narrowed as he looked at Xiao Jin, "How much do you know about that rebel commander?"

"The Empire has been besieging the rebels for so many years, but it hasn't made any progress. They've only discovered that the rebels have three commanders, but the information about them is very well hidden, and the Empire doesn't have any clues either."

Xiao Jin understood the implication, sneered, and continued, "However, as far as I know, I haven't thought of any ninth-tier space-type beastmen in the Empire whose strength matches the description."

Shen Tang's face darkened to the extreme. If the guess was true, wouldn't Shen Qingli be making a deal with the rebels?
If this matter is exposed, it will be shocking!

Jialan frowned. "Do you remember the rumors from back then about your collusion with the rebels? Could there be some other misunderstandings involved?"

Back then, this rumor caused a great uproar. Everyone in the Nightbright Empire knew about it, and the people of other empires also knew about this wicked imperial princess. Behind her back, countless orcs insulted her and wished she were dead!

Even though Shen Tang has done so many good deeds, there are still many orcs who secretly resent her.

Countless families were destroyed and people died because of her.

The damage she caused back then was forged in blood and tears, and can never be made up for.

As long as Shen Tang is still accused of this crime, there will always be people who hate her, curse her, and want to kill her.

But what if... the stain never existed in the first place?

Shen Tang also found this matter very strange. Although she did not have a complete grasp of the original owner's memories, at least for now, she had never been able to find any memories of the original owner colluding with the rebels.

In fact, based on Shen Tang's understanding of the original owner of this person, she was selfish, hypocritical, domineering, and unreasonable, with a terrible personality, but deep down she was a timid and cautious person.

Where did she get the audacity to make a deal with the rebels?

Even if the original owner acted impulsively and wanted revenge for her own selfish desires, was she so stupid as not to think about what kind of punishment she would receive if things went wrong?

Given the original owner's cowardly nature, let alone making a deal with the rebels, she would probably be terrified if she had even the slightest connection with them.

This matter is full of doubts, but unfortunately, the outside world has already condemned her to the status of a disgraced person, and Shen Tang has no evidence. She can only reluctantly admit her mistake and sign the document.

After today, another possibility emerged in Shen Tang's mind.

Could the original owner have been framed and slandered back then, which is why he never recovered and ended up in that terrible state?

Shen Tang recalled the plot of the original novel. Shen Qingli had a mysterious beast husband who only appeared a few times. He was almost always in secret contact with the female lead and never showed his true face. His methods were extremely insidious and vicious... Unfortunately, she did not see the ending and did not know who this person was. Now it seems that he is very likely the rebel leader Zackis!

At this moment, everyone had different thoughts, but they were hampered by a lack of evidence. All their doubts could only remain buried in their hearts.

But once the seed of doubt is planted, it will inevitably sprout one day.

"Since we're all back alive, don't overthink it. We'll just be more careful in the future." Perhaps the atmosphere was too somber, Shen Tang clapped her hands and smiled.

When the beastmen saw Shen Tang pretending to be relaxed and comforting them, a strange feeling arose in their hearts. She had experienced too much suffering and was stronger than they had imagined.

Xue Yinzhou stepped forward, embraced Shen Tang, and placed his cool lips on her forehead, whispering, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Her cool and indifferent voice was unusually gentle, and from an angle unseen by others, a chilling killing intent flashed in her silver-purple snake eyes.

That guy got away last time, but if we fight again, he'll definitely kill him by any means necessary.

And then there's Shen Qingli.

Shen Tang had warned him not to act rashly, but if this scourge wasn't eliminated sooner, it would remain a threat.

Xue Yinzhou's heart was filled with a frenzied and cold killing intent, but he did not let others see it.

……

On the other side of the imperial city, inside the princess's residence, came a series of crackling sounds.

The porcelain and flowerpots in the room were broken all over the floor.

The scantily clad male servants knelt on the ground, trembling and not daring to breathe.

"Get out! All of you, get out!"

The male servants, feeling as if they had been granted a pardon, quickly left.

Shen Qingli stared intently at the wall, her hands clenched tightly, her face grim and twisted.

She sent assassins to kill Shen Tang multiple times, and twice begged that person to intervene.

They didn't even kill that damned bitch!
How come that bitch is so lucky?
Lu Xiao and the others risked their lives to protect her?
Why? !

They should have been Shen Qingli's men, yet they risked their lives for that vile woman.

Thinking of this, Shen Qingli felt as if her heart was being gnawed at by venomous snakes and insects. The intense resentment and anger almost overwhelmed her reason.

She didn't believe that bitch could always get away unscathed!

Shen Qingli turned on her personal terminal, intending to contact that person again, but unexpectedly saw the news on the front page.

—Rebel forces appeared on the border of the empire, bombing from the air and injuring many innocent civilians, causing huge losses!
The Imperial Army is urgently investigating this matter.

Shen Qingli's pretty face turned pale, and she nervously bit her thin nails. She only wanted to kill that bitch, but she didn't expect it to cause such a big commotion.

Those bastards are truly ruthless; they actually killed so many people.

If people find out she has ties to the rebels, everything she has now will be ruined.

Shen Qingli quickly shut down her personal terminal, not daring to contact Zackis again at such a critical moment.

That madman has a vile personality and keeps trying to force her to become his female; she could be betrayed by him if she's not careful.

Shen Qingli didn't want to contact this madman unless absolutely necessary.

"Your Highness, Young Master Yun Han has returned in triumph and will soon arrive in the capital. Would you like to go and welcome him back?" came the servant's announcement from outside.
