Song Yu no longer held back, directly unleashing nine-tenths of his power and activating the Imperial Principles.

In an instant, bursts of purple lightning appeared all around, the prelude to the unleashing of the Purple Lightning Rush.

"If you accept this move, I will grant your terms."

A torrent of purple lightning erupted, and dense, violent currents surged in all directions, mercilessly plowing through the already ruined courtyard once again.

However, Shen Zhao was agile, like a god of the wind, moving freely and calmly through the sea of ​​electricity, avoiding every incoming current without any danger.

In the blink of an eye, he had dodged all of his opponent's attacks.

When all the summons were over, Shen Zhao's figure gracefully stood atop a pile of ruins, still lightly waving his folding fan, exuding an unparalleled air.

"Your Highness, the three moves have been completed. Please fulfill your promise."

Song Yu glanced at Shen Zhao, who looked completely satisfied, and gave a barely perceptible nod: "Alright, a bet's a bet. I promise I'll release her."

But I must warn you, you'd better not do anything detrimental to this dynasty, or I will absolutely not let you off the hook.

Shen Zhao closed his fan and cupped his hands: "Of course, thank you for your mercy, Prince Rui. I will remember this favor."

"Hmph, I will certainly come back to learn from your skills another day. Let me remind you, you have not met me today, nothing has happened between us, do you understand what I mean?"

"I know."

Song Yu nodded, then looked at Ji Bingyan: "Whatever your purpose in coming to my Celestial Empire,

"I will only give you one piece of advice: do not do anything that harms the interests of my dynasty, or I will not let you off the hook, no matter where you are."

After saying that, Song Yu vanished from the spot in a flash.

After everyone left, Shen Zhao touched his nose and walked towards Ji Bingyan.

"What do you want? Don't come any closer, don't come near me."

Ji Bingyan was startled, clutched her chest with both hands, took a few steps back, and instinctively adopted a wary posture.

Shen Zhao stopped, unfolded his folding fan, and smiled, "I saved you, yet you treat your savior with such disrespect. It is far too impolite."

Why did you save me? Do we even know each other?

Upon hearing this, Shen Zhao gave an awkward smile.

When he first met Ji Bingyan, she was full of vigilance and suspicion, and did not trust anyone at all. It took him a lot of effort to get her to lower her guard and return to Po Jun Mansion with him.

This is a common problem in intelligence work: apart from the most trustworthy comrades on the same side, no outsiders are trustworthy.

"Very well, young lady, this place is not safe to stay any longer. You should leave as soon as possible. I'll take my leave."

Having saved Ji Bingyan, Shen Zhao was unwilling to linger. He bowed to Ji Bingyan in farewell and headed towards the main hall of Heaven and Earth.

Watching her departing figure, Ji Bingyan frowned slightly, slowly removing her veil to reveal a charming and stunningly beautiful face.

Why does this person feel so familiar to me?
