After a long while, Su Yunying finally stopped sobbing and looked up at Shen Zhao: "Boss, did I just...?"

The words were on the tip of my tongue, but I found it difficult to say them.

Yet, a hint of shyness lingered on her face.

At the same time, she was also a little scared, afraid that her innocence would be ruined by the Nine Venerable Taoists.

But after glancing at his intact clothes, he breathed a slight sigh of relief.

"Um……"

This made Shen Zhao feel a little embarrassed, and he tried his best not to think about Su Yunying's enthusiastic appearance earlier.

Because, for a fleeting moment, he actually almost lost control...

So, changing the subject, he asked, "By the way, how did you get silver poisoning?"

"It's Yu Xiyan."

"Yu Xiyan!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Zhao's face instantly turned cold.

Why would she target you?

"Because she's afraid I'll take the boss away, so she wants to ruin me."

Shen Zhao took a deep breath, his eyes instantly turning icy cold: "Tell me, where is she?"

Shen Zhao believed that the relationship between himself and Yu Xiyan had been made quite clear at the Biyun Immortal Palace.

Logically speaking, the two shouldn't have too much interaction; they should just live their own lives.

In popular parlance, a good ex should be like they're dead and never bother you again.

But this time, she actually dared to lay a hand on Su Yunying?

"Yu Xiyan, you've chosen the wrong path."

The coldness in his eyes instantly transformed into intense killing intent.

Seemingly sensing that Shen Zhao was experiencing a violent emotional fluctuation, Su Yunying quickly grabbed his hand: "Boss, don't get agitated, calm down."

"I am very calm."

Shen Zhao gave Su Yunying a faint smile.

But in his heart, he had already decided to kill Yu Xiyan.

"Boss, I failed to obtain the Divine Phoenix Inheritance, I've embarrassed you."

"Silly girl, you've come to the wrong place. That's not the place where the Divine Phoenix inherits its legacy."

"Huh? Where is that?"

Su Yunying looked at Shen Zhao with disbelief.

"But I clearly saw the remnant of the Divine Phoenix..."

"Do you remember the exact location? Take me there."

"I remember the general location, but it's strange that the place I went in and the place I came out from seem to be completely different. Could it be that I remembered it wrong?"

Su Yunying shook her head, somewhat uncertain.

"It's alright, let's go look for it together. Remember to stay by my side and never leave my sight. I've only suppressed the poison in your body, I haven't removed it."

Su Yunying was quite surprised: "My poison... Boss, you didn't help me detoxify?"

This sentence had a double meaning, but Shen Zhao did not understand the hidden meaning.

Or, even if you understand, pretend you didn't.

"The Xuanhuang bloodline and the toxins within you have fused together, and I am not entirely confident that I can expel the poison from your body at the moment."

It can only suppress it temporarily, but don't worry, I've found an antidote. Here, take this Ice Heart Manual.

It can clear your mind and keep you alert at all times. If you practice this three times a day with a pure and undistracted mind, your poison will be cured within ten days.

Su Yunying silently accepted the "Ice Heart Manual," looking as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.

But in the end, she forced herself to suppress her inner impulse.

After all, this is a really embarrassing question.

"let's go."

"Um."

...

After several twists and turns, Shen Zhao and Su Yunying returned to the secret room.

Many signs of a struggle remained at the scene, but Yu Xiyan and Ling Yuxuan had already left, leaving only Shen Zhao and Su Yunying in the vast space.

"Boss, it's over there. See that statue that looks a lot like you? Go inside and you'll find a whole new world."

Su Yunying pointed to the barrier surrounding the dark room and said.

"That thing that impersonated the remnant of the Divine Phoenix is ​​inside."

Shen Zhao frowned coldly: "Remember to stay close to me. No matter what happens, don't leave my sight."

Upon hearing this, Su Yunying felt a strange sweetness in her heart.

"Is Brother Shen concerned about me? Also, he's been calling my name since just now, instead of calling me 'little girl' anymore, hehe."

She followed closely behind Shen Zhao, heading towards the entrance to the dark room.

It wasn't until he saw the bronze statue that looked exactly like him that Shen Zhao finally became certain that the bastard inside was after him.

"Boss!"

Just as Shen Zhao was about to step in, Su Yunying reminded him again.

"There's a group of souls inside who can't be released from their suffering, and it seems... it seems they're connected to you."

Unable to explain what she saw inside the Kunlun Mirror, she could only remind Shen Zhao in another way.

"I'm not afraid."

Shen Zhao gave her a confident smile.

"With me here, no one can hurt you."

"Boss..."

Su Yunying covered her mouth, her heart pounding like a deer.

This was the first time he had shown such direct concern for me.

"Walk!"

"good!"

Stepping into the barrier, I returned to this gloomy and dark space once again.

A chilling wind blew, and Shen Zhao took a deep breath and roared, "Come out, all of you!"

"roar--"

The next moment, 50,000 Iron Flame Army soldiers who had died on the battlefield roared and appeared in formation before Shen Zhao.

Shen Zhao frowned, then crossed his arms and stared motionlessly at the leader of the approaching group of undead generals.

"roar……"

With a low growl, the leading general, sword in hand, strode quickly toward Shen Zhao.

"Boss!"

Su Yunying cried out in alarm, instinctively trying to shield Shen Zhao from the blow.

"Yun Ying, step behind me!"

Shen Zhao pulled Su Yunying behind him, then used his cloak to cover her figure, remaining motionless as he stared at the approaching ghost.

Only when the dead were within reach did Shen Zhao reveal a smile.

"Qin Mausoleum, it's been a long time."

Upon hearing this, the ghost paused for a moment, carefully examining the man before it.

The next moment, he knelt down on one knee.

"Your subordinate Qin Ling greets Commander Shen!"
