When his identity was exposed, Shen Zhao simply sighed softly and did not choose to hide it, continuing to bury himself in carving the wood in his hands.
Song Yanran didn't disturb him, but just quietly looked at the man in front of her.
But his thoughts had already drifted back to his past life.
In his previous life, Di Feijing and Ying Zhaoyun, who had transformed into Fengyulou, had carried out a mission to annihilate Poison King Valley.
During the mission, Song Yanran was unfortunately bitten by the Seven-Colored Cloud Silkworm and her life hung in the balance.
It was Shen Zhao, also known as Di Feijing, who, in order to save himself, did not hesitate to use the Reversal of Heavenly Power to forcibly transfer the poison from his body to his.
Shen Zhao lost half his life for this, but resolutely risked his life to carry his still weak self out of Poison King Valley.
Feeling Shen Zhao's warm and broad back, she felt an unprecedented sense of security.
From that moment on, Song Yanran fell hopelessly in love with Di Feijing and vowed to keep him by her side by any means necessary once the mission was over.
However, after the battle of Poison King Valley, Di Feijing placed him, who was in a coma, back in the Wind and Rain Tower, and then vanished without a trace, never to reappear in his life.
For this reason, Song Yanran went mad, ordering people to search the entire Central Region and even sending people to search the Nine Realms of Immortals and Martial Arts for traces of her beloved.
Unfortunately, Di Feijing was like a grain of sand that had fallen into the dust, leaving no trace of his existence.
If Song Yanran had known in her past life that Shen Zhao was Di Feijing, she would definitely have chosen to fight against Yu Xiyan, who had abused her.
She didn't cherish such a good man and even tortured him to death. I don't know what she was thinking.
"Shen Zhao is Chu Liuxiang, and Chu Liuxiang is Di Feijing, but neither of them is Shen Zhao."
Shen Zhao's words brought Song Yanran back to her senses.
“Shen Zhao has always been the same person, while Chu Liuxiang and Di Feijing are just identities set up by the same person to achieve their goals.”
Upon hearing this, Song Yanran smiled sweetly.
“I don’t think so. In my mind, Shen Zhao and Di Feijing are the same person. The only difference is that one is an identity and the other is a name.”
Shen Zhao stopped explaining. Some things are just more awkward to explain to a woman.
Just then, Azure Dragon and Vermilion Bird returned from their reconnaissance mission.
"Your Majesty, you're awake? Your subordinate is incompetent and failed to protect you, causing you suffering. Please punish me, Your Majesty!"
The two loyal guards immediately knelt on one knee before Song Yanran, begging for her punishment.
But Song Yanran shook her head: "Azure Dragon, Vermilion Bird, as guards of the imperial city, you have done your duty. How could I blame you? On the contrary, it is I who have implicated you."
Zhuque looked up: "No, Your Majesty, to die for Your Majesty is the wish of generations of your subjects."
Qinglong: "We beg Your Majesty to allow us to atone for our crimes and help you eliminate the traitors."
Song Yanran sighed softly: "You have already done enough for me and for the Longhan empire."
I truly don't want to see anyone else die because of me. This is a personal matter between them, and I don't want to drag you all into it.
Azure Dragon and Vermilion Bird were about to persuade him further when Shen Zhao suddenly asked, "Were you followed when you came here?"
The two were taken aback, then shook their heads in unison: "No one has been following us, and this place is extremely secluded."
Upon hearing this, Shen Zhao shook his head with a wry smile: "It seems we're in for a tough battle."
Just as Qinglong, Zhuque, and Song Yanran were wondering what Shen Zhao meant by those words, they saw Shen Zhao look behind Qinglong and sneer, "Come out, I've been waiting for you for a long time."
As soon as he finished speaking, a burly figure slowly stepped out.
"Dalba!"
Upon seeing the person who arrived, Song Yanran was greatly alarmed.
"You're still alive?"
Darba clasped his hands together, looked at Shen Zhao and the others with a calm expression, and said, "I really didn't expect that someone would be able to sense my aura so quickly."
Shen Zhao, with one hand behind his back, said, "The dignified leader of a sect, a top expert with the potential of an emperor, actually resorted to faking his death. He has truly disgraced the emperor."
Darba: "It seems you knew all along that I wasn't dead?"
“From the moment I learned that your body died in your own Vajra Mudra and that the Emperor-grade rosary on your body was never there, I suspected that this was a carefully orchestrated scheme by you.”
"Oh, really? But how did you discover that? The celestial anomalies surrounding the Emperor's fall are obvious to all."
"Because the timing is wrong."
"Wrong timing?"
"The fall of the Great Emperor will cause celestial phenomena that will bring unavoidable calamities, and these phenomena will last for at least seven days."
However, when you died, the blood rain lasted for less than half an hour before it stopped, which is completely inconsistent with my understanding of the demise of an emperor.
"If that's the case, then how do you conclude that I wasn't the one who died? How do you explain this rain of blood?"
"That's even simpler. You switch your own internal energy and injuries with the scapegoat, then finish him off with a single palm strike. This will create the illusion that the Great Emperor has perished."
If I'm not mistaken, the one who died was none other than your most prized disciple, Venerable Golden Saint, right?
Your escape was indeed a brilliant maneuver; if I weren't so knowledgeable, I would have been completely fooled.
"But if I were to pass on my inner power to him, wouldn't I also lose all my own power? And why would I do such a thing?"
"You were once a close friend of Zen Master Shangzhi at Wanfo Rock. Zen Master Shangzhi possessed a unique skill."
Named "Reversing Heavenly Strike," the ingenious aspect of this technique lies in its ability to transfer all injuries from one's body to another living being.
This results in another living being having a physical condition very similar to your own. After using the Reversal of Heavenly Power,
