"Shut the hell up! I've already made myself clear: buy it if you want, or get the hell out of here!"

Shen Zhao has always been skeptical of people like Tang Yizhou who try to get free pills by using moral blackmail, and he only talks about physics, not reason.

He went straight to Li Yudong and asked about the situation.

"Brother Li, how did things get so messy in just one day? Did you run into some serious trouble?"

"Don't even mention it, senior. We were all tricked by that bastard Chu Yang. He said he found a giant dragon with a rare treasure in Yin Feng Canyon."

"Let's all work together to defeat it. After we destroy the evil dragon, he won't take any of the treasures on the dragon's body, only the box in the dragon's hand."

"Then we believed this bastard's nonsense, and a hundred or so of us went to Yinfeng Canyon together. But who knew that the evil dragon was so ridiculously strong? We, the Nascent Soul Realm experts, lost half of our strength in just one encounter with the dragon's mask."

After a fierce battle that lasted all night, we suffered countless casualties, while Chu Yang seized the opportunity when the evil dragon took flight and ran away with the box. The dragon immediately gave chase, and we were fortunate enough to escape unscathed.

It was only through Ma Jun's introduction that I was able to find a senior to heal my injuries; I never imagined that the elixirs the senior refined would be so miraculous.

After listening to Li Yudong's words, Shen Zhao understood the reason.

Evil dragon, box.

That must be the ancient five-clawed golden dragon, and the innate Dao body activation mechanism contained within the box.

In his previous life, he might have been moved by these two treasures (Dragon Essence), but not now, because he already has a stronger clue to the Chaos God-Demon Body. He only needs to break through the last barrier behind him to obtain the last fragment.

Thinking of the innate Dao body, Shen Zhao couldn't help but glance at Yu Xiyan.

For countless lifetimes, he had sacrificed himself time and time again to obtain the innate Dao body for this woman. Even though it was due to the system, as time went by, he had indeed fallen in love with her from the bottom of his heart and couldn't help but fall in love with her.

But what did we get in return?

"Shen Zhao, if possible, I really want you to die! Every day I'm with you makes me feel disgusted. If there is an afterlife, even if I have to bear the infamy of being unfilial, I will never take you as my son-in-law."

These words were spoken by Yu Xiyan when she saved Lin Feng, whom she had severely injured, and looked at her with eyes filled with boundless hatred.

It was like a sharp blade piercing his heart, leaving it completely scarred, and also extinguishing his open heart.

However, little did Yu Xiyan know that Lin Feng's purpose in approaching her was not only because of the Empress's stunning beauty, but also to gain control of the Dayin Dynasty.

Because of her, Lin Feng's plans were thwarted time and time again. But each time Lin Feng's plans were thwarted, Yu Xiyan's attitude towards her grew colder. In the final moments before Shen Zhao's reincarnation in each life, their relationship would completely break down.

Since that's the case, then in this life, as you wish, I will never lick again, nor love again.

Once I've eliminated all the threats, I'm going to become a happy, laid-back monk.

"Roar~~"

Just as Shen Zhao was deep in thought, a dragon's roar resounded through the sky.

Upon hearing the dragon's roar, all the cultivators immediately showed expressions of despair.

Looking up, a giant dragon coiled and approached from the distant horizon, its target being precisely where Shen Zhao was.

Witnessing this, Li Yudong, realizing what was happening, exclaimed, "Senior, it's this evil dragon! It killed so many of us!"

Upon hearing this, Yu Xiyan frowned. Judging from the aura displayed by the golden dragon, she could tell that even dozens of ninth-grade Soul Sea Realm cultivators combined might not be able to subdue it.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but glance at Shen Zhao out of the corner of her eye.

"If you really are Shen Zhao, how should you deal with this evil dragon? Back then, when you entered the Fuxi Abyss, you were only at the Na Yuan Realm."

As for Ding Bu'er, he had already dug a hole somewhere, buried half of his body upside down, leaving his legs sticking out, truly demonstrating what it means to cover one's ears while stealing a bell.

Shen Zhao did not make any move; on the contrary, he remained very calm.

He now has hundreds of ways to deal with the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon, this "old friend" who has lived through nine lifetimes.

However, due to their own limitations, the previous nine incarnations still needed to devise strategies and tactics to lure and kill their enemies.

Now that I possess absolute power, why bother with those petty tricks? One punch is all it takes.

His gaze fell upon a figure billowing smoke, running ahead of the golden dragon:

Chu Yang!

Chu Yang was also extremely unlucky. He finally managed to lure a large group of cultivators to be his cannon fodder and snatch the box. Then he fled eastward, intending to leave the Fuxi Abyss.

However, for some reason, the barrier on the east side disappeared, and the same thing happened on the west side and the north side.

This made Chu Yang want to curse, "Damn it, this is no joke!" and he could only flee south in a sorry state.

When he saw the familiar figures in the distance, his eyes lit up, and he urged all his strength to speed up, wanting to use the strength of the group to give himself a chance to escape.

But this time he miscalculated again.

"Haha, business is here again, Ding Bu'er! Ding Bu'er, where are you?!"

Shen Zhao kicked Ding Bu'er out of the sand.

Ding Bu'er patted the dust off his body, then glanced ahead and exclaimed in surprise. His legs went weak, and he collapsed to the ground again.

"What a loser."

Shen Zhao gave a disdainful sneer, then crossed his arms and calmly stared into the distance.

Chu Yang sped for another ten miles, and seeing that he was getting closer and closer to Shen Zhao and the others, he immediately shouted, "Fellow Daoists, I have severely injured this evil dragon. Let's join forces and finish it off together!"
