Shen Zhao shook his head, too lazy to pay attention to her. Just as he got up to leave, Mu Qiuyao woke up immediately and quickly straightened her disheveled clothes.
Where are you going?
"What's it to you?"
Mu Qiuyao walked to the edge of the cliff, thought for a moment, and said to Shen Zhao, "We don't even know where we are right now. I have a suggestion: why don't we put aside our grudges for now and find our way back first? What do you think?"
Shen Zhao snorted lightly: "Given our relationship, why do you think I would agree to your proposal?"
Mu Qiuyao's face darkened: "I'm speaking to you politely. I advise you not to be ungrateful!"
"Stop with your rhetoric; you're using your domineering attitude on the wrong person!"
As he spoke, Shen Zhao also carefully surveyed the terrain.
He discovered that the cliff was too flat to either side, so flat that it was almost unbelievable, and there was no way to go down the mountain.
"Stop looking. I searched the area yesterday, and as far as I could see, there was no sign of a way down the mountain at the end of the road," Mu Qiuyao reminded her.
Shen Zhao remained silent for a while, then walked directly to the left.
"Hello? I'm talking to you, can you hear me?"
"So noisy!"
Shen Zhao interrupted him in a deep voice, then said, "Then try walking in one direction and see if you can find the exit!"
After saying that, he ignored Mu Qiuyao and continued walking to the left.
After thinking for a moment, feeling the chill on her body, Mu Qiuyao could only follow Shen Zhao in the same direction.
After a full day and night, they still hadn't encountered any signs of an exit.
Shen Zhao wasn't in a hurry. He sat down, lit a campfire, and then sat cross-legged to continue recuperating from his injuries.
Mu Qiuyao also found a quiet place to sit down and closed her eyes to rest.
Since achieving the Emperor Realm, she had never experienced walking on foot solely through physical strength. Coupled with her injuries, she was exhausted after just one day and night.
Feeling the chill of the wind blowing around her, Mu Qiuyao shrank back, her eyes gazing greedily at the bonfire opposite her.
Before mastering the Mingyu Xuanhuang Technique, one must experience the backlash of cold energy, an extreme pain that can cause Mu Qiuyao to suffer for days and nights.
Only by finding something of the utmost yang energy can this chill be suppressed.
In her past life, she did indeed find it.
But for Mu Qiuyao, it was a nightmare, one that she could not escape even if she were to live a second life.
When Mu Qiuyao looked at Shen Zhao again, her eyes were filled with doubt.
I've heard that Shen Zhao created countless miracles in his short life. Perhaps he has a way to solve the aftereffects of the Mingyu Xuanhuang Technique?
The idea was barely out of his head before he immediately rejected it.
No, how could the dignified Empress of the Xuan Tian Immortal Dynasty compromise with this man who is her enemy?
Her imperial pride prevented her from easily bowing her head to anyone.
And so, the two spent another night separated by a narrow strip of sky.
The two woke up almost simultaneously the moment the sunlight shone on their cheeks.
Shen Zhao's injuries have basically recovered, and he was surprised to find that the meridians in his body were much thicker than before, which was an unexpected delight.
Mu Qiuyao's complexion was even worse, and she even felt shivering all over when the mountain wind blew, feeling so cold that she couldn't stand it.
Seeing the dignified empress opposite him appear so weak and helpless, Shen Zhao felt a surge of pleasure: "Hehe, you deserve to go against me!"
Just as he was about to continue searching for an exit, Mu Qiuyao finally couldn't help but speak up: "Boy, do you have any nourishing pills on you?"
Shen Zhao stopped in her tracks: "What? The Empress doesn't carry any elixirs with her when she goes out?"
One sentence left Mu Qiuyao speechless.
She is a powerful expert at the Emperor Realm. How many people in the world can harm her even slightly? Why would she need to carry these pills?
"I didn't bring it!"
When she said those words, a look of humiliation appeared on Mu Qiuyao's face, which should have been stubborn.
Shen Zhao nodded, then took out a bottle of Nourishing Pills from his storage bag: "What a coincidence, I just happened to have some with me."
Mu Qiuyao hurriedly said, "Give me the medicine, and I'm willing to pay ten times the price."
Shen Zhao responded, "As expected of the Empress of the Immortal Dynasty, your actions are truly extraordinary. Alright, this bottle of Nourishing Pills is worth ten spirit stones on the market, give me one hundred."
Mu Qiuyao was taken aback, then said, "I don't have any spirit stones on me. I will bring them to you when we get back."
Shen Zhao was stunned. He never expected that this person could be so brazen about getting something for free, even more so than Su Yunying.
"Sorry, my rule is cash on delivery!"
"Do you think I, the dignified Empress of the Xuan Tian Immortal Dynasty, would covet your meager spiritual pills?"
"That's not necessarily true. The more powerful and influential a person is, the more they like to get something for nothing. Besides, in the Heavenly Sacred Land, we are sworn enemies. Why should I believe you!"
"Boy! I advise you not to go too far! I've already lowered myself, don't be ungrateful!"
"What's the point of your attitude? If you're broke, stop showing off. I don't have time to play along with you. I'm leaving!"
Shen Zhao put away the medicine bottle and continued walking forward, ignoring Mu Qiu's calls.
Helpless, Mu Qiuyao could only continue following Shen Zhao forward.
Two days later, a burst of Buddha's light shone brightly at the end of the road ahead, followed by chanting that echoed in the air.
Shen Zhao suddenly stopped in his tracks, and his pupils contracted upon hearing the chanting.
Hearing the commotion ahead, Mu Qiuyao breathed a sigh of relief: "Finally, we've found the exit."
Then he glared at Shen Zhao and walked straight ahead.
Shen Zhao hesitated for a moment, then stomped his foot and followed.
It wasn't until the two of them stopped at the edge of the cliff and saw a colossal Buddha standing a thousand feet tall before them that Shen Zhao finally understood which realm this was.
"The borders of the Western Buddha Kingdom!"
Shen Zhao clenched his fists involuntarily.
"Very well, the unfulfilled wishes of nine lifetimes will be settled in this life!"
