Inside the ancient temple, there is a large hall filled with a rustic atmosphere.
The hall was luxurious and magnificent, with murals depicting the phoenix rising from the ashes covering the stone walls.
The floor was paved entirely with top-grade spirit stones, and in the center stood an ancient stone tree reaching towards the ceiling of the hall.
On the ceiling, the totem of celestial maidens ascending to heaven is lifelike, and the gemstones adorning the surrounding area illuminate the entire hall as if it were daytime.
Shen Zhao and Ji Bingyan stood in front of the mural, with at least several hundred storage bags placed around them and at their feet.
These were all collected from the temple by those ignorant and thieving cultivators.
"The achievements of the Public Tribunal in targeted poverty alleviation have reached a new level. We must extend this great and sacred cause to every corner of the Nine Realms."
"My lord, if this continues, this money could probably rebuild the Po Jun Mansion."
"Don't mention the Po Jun Mansion anymore; that's all in the past."
"Yes, my lord."
After exchanging pleasantries, Shen Zhao frowned and said, "This shouldn't be the case. It's been so long, there's no reason why the little girl and the others haven't arrived at the Divine Phoenix Inheritance Site yet."
Ji Bingyan: "There are over a thousand forks in the road inside the temple. It's inevitable that you'll get lost, isn't it?"
Shen Zhao shook his head: "Impossible. Yun Ying has the Xuanhuang bloodline in her body and can successfully sense the inheritance site. There is no way she could have gone to the wrong place."
"But the truth is, this place of inheritance doesn't look like anyone has ever been here."
Upon hearing this, Shen Zhao fell into deep thought once again.
Suddenly, a dazzling golden light flashed across the stone tree.
A phoenix with outstretched wings proudly leaps down from the stone tree.
The moment she landed, she transformed into a stunningly beautiful woman draped in golden down and barefoot.
"This is the lingering regret of the Divine Phoenix's primordial spirit."
Shen Zhao accurately identified the woman.
Ji Bingyan was surprised: "Wow, is she really that beautiful?"
The remnant spirit of the Divine Phoenix glanced at the two of them and then said, "Strange, I did not sense any phoenix bloodline from you. How did you find this place?"
"Is it that hard to find this place?" Shen Zhao retorted. "Does one necessarily need phoenix blood to find this place?"
"No, it's not that. I'm just curious. The ancient temple has thousands of branching paths and barriers, each path forming its own space, completely isolated from the outside world."
Only those with a strong Phoenix bloodline can sense the correct path, but since you are here, you can also participate in the inheritance trial.
only……"
Shen Zhao immediately interrupted it: "But the three tests are extremely harsh. Even if you pass them, only those with the Phoenix bloodline can inherit it, is that right?"
The remnant spirit of the Divine Phoenix was clearly startled: "How did you know?"
Shen Zhao thought to himself: Do you think I'd tell you that I've cleared the Divine Phoenix Secret Realm dungeon nine times and can publish a strategy guide to show off my superiority?
"Don't ask me how I know. I'll just ask you one thing: since the Divine Phoenix Ruins opened this time, has no one come to this inheritance land?"
"You are the first people to arrive here so far, which is quite surprising to me."
I can clearly sense a powerful bloodline aura nearby, but for some reason I can't summon it here.
It seemed as if I was isolated by some force, but although I was merely a wisp of remnant spirit left behind before the divine phoenix ascended,
Even with cultivation levels comparable to the early stages of a Great Emperor, he couldn't detect the source of this power.
After hearing Shenhuang's lingering thoughts, Shen Zhao frowned slightly: "This shouldn't be the case. We've never encountered such a situation before. Where did things go wrong?"
Suddenly, Shen Zhao seemed to sense a familiar fluctuation in his mind.
"Damn, so it was that bastard. No wonder..."
"What's wrong, my lord?"
Shen Zhao immediately said to Ji Bingyan, "You stay here and don't go anywhere. I have some errands to run and I'll be right back."
Ji Bingyan hurriedly said, "My lord, what happened? I rarely see you so nervous."
"Don't ask. This is not something you can interfere with. Remember, if anything unexpected happens, whoever enters the inheritance grounds..."
Just proceed according to the plan we discussed earlier. Avoid conflict if possible, and simply comply until I return.
After saying that, Shen Zhao immediately left the place of inheritance.
...
At the same time, in another secret room, Su Yunying, poisoned by the Ecstasy Powder, was surrounded by Yu Xiyan and two others, and her situation was extremely precarious.
"Ah, junior sister, I..."
Ling Yuxuan couldn't believe his ears. His junior sister actually wanted him to be with that woman...
"No, I can't do that!"
He proudly refused.
Yu Xiyan frowned: "Senior brother, this woman is seducing my fiancé."
"Give her a lesson so she'll give up those ideas; consider it helping me out this time."
Upon hearing this, Ling Yuxuan lowered his head and asked, "Junior sister, do you really love your fiancé, Shen Zhao?"
"Of course, senior brother, I will marry no one but him in this life."
Upon hearing this answer, Ling Yuxuan was utterly incredulous.
"As expected, Brother Shen was right. He was just a stepping stone on the road to his love with Raymond Lam."
But Lin Feng, why did you turn my lovely and kind junior sister into this? You're so awful!
Thinking of this, Ling Yuxuan could only nod: "Okay, junior sister, let me take him down first before making a decision."
So, Ling Yuxuan pointed directly at Su Yunying: "Witch, take this!"
Su Yunying brandished the lone goose in her hand, her gaze becoming exceptionally firm.
Even though she was poisoned, she showed no fear whatsoever.
"Two cups of tea's time is enough."
"What did you say?"
"I said, two cups of tea's time is enough to deal with you all."
As soon as she finished speaking, Su Yunying decisively raised her gun and stabbed at Ling Yuxuan.
