At this moment, Mu Qiuyao looked exceptionally charming under the moonlight.
Faced with such a blunt question, Shen Zhao simply turned his face away: "Stop being so presumptuous. I don't have time to meddle in this kind of thing right now."
Upon hearing this, Mu Qiuyao was overjoyed: "You didn't explicitly refuse, so it seems there's a chance to win you over. I'll let you off the hook for now and we'll talk about it after we finish our business."
"Okay, I'm not teasing you anymore."
Mu Qiuyao smiled and took two steps back, then said with a serious expression, "Young man, I have another matter to attend to in Chang'an. Since you're here, why don't we cooperate?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Zhao immediately replied, "I've said it before, I will never return to Chang'an in this lifetime. This cooperation is hereby nullified."
Mu Qiuyao pointed in Gu Ningye's direction: "So you plan to let Gu Ningye go back to Chang'an alone, right?"
Kid, she's completely naked except for a cloak. If something happens to her halfway there, can your conscience bear it?
Shen Zhao frowned upon hearing this; it was indeed a problem.
"Don't look at me. I'm not going to send her back. Otherwise, that slut Yu Xiyan will think I'm trying to please her."
Then Mu Qiuyao continued, "Also, your blood only suppressed the medicinal properties, it didn't completely eliminate them."
Given her current condition, if you don't stay by her side, even if other men don't want to sleep with her, she'll actively seek out other men.
Shen Zhao narrowed his eyes: "Didn't you just say that my blood could dispel all evil spirits? Why have you changed your mind now?"
Mu Qiuyao covered her head: "I thought you really understood your own constitution, but it seems I was overthinking it."
Aphrodisiacs are not evil substances. Your inherent nature is perfectly natural, following the way of nature in everything.
It's true that your blood can suppress the medicinal properties, but the only way to eliminate the medicinal effects from her body is to nourish her with the essence of the Great Dao.
Do you understand now?
"I don't understand." Shen Zhao shook his head. "I really find it hard to think about things that are too complicated and unnecessary. Just tell me what to do, stop being a riddle-maker, okay?"
"It's very simple. Just have an in-depth conversation with her, and the problem will be solved naturally."
"Get lost, can you come up with a proper solution?"
"Then let her get through these seven days. After seven days, the effects of the medicine in her body will be mostly eliminated."
Shen Zhao frowned even more deeply.
Mu Qiuyao continued, "Seriously, kid, even without Gu Ningye's matter, you still have to go to Chang'an."
"Why, what's the reason?"
Mu Qiuyao sighed: "The Senluo Prison Sea in the Northern Underworld was breached some time ago when I was pacifying the Northern Region, due to a lack of manpower to guard it."
"This is a matter for your Northern Region, why should I help you?"
"Let me finish speaking first. Among the eighteen people who escaped from Beiming, they are all from the Jiuyou lineage."
"What did you say!"
Upon hearing the words "Nine Netherworlds," Shen Zhao's expression immediately turned serious.
"They are all at the peak of the Quasi-Emperor realm. Back when I founded the Xuan Tian Immortal Dynasty and subdued various regions of the Northern Region..."
They were then imprisoned in the Northern Underworld, placed under the care of the Yuwen, Ouyang, and Beichen families.
Shen Zhao: "You should have just wiped out all those beasts back then, instead of leaving these troublemakers alive!"
Mu Qiuyao shook her head: "It's not that I didn't think about it, but at that time my cultivation level was only enough to suppress eighteen people."
With so many forces in the Northern Region requiring my pacification and control, I simply lack the ability and energy to think about how to eliminate them.
Even before I met you, I couldn't get rid of those eighteen people. Their cultivation methods were very special; they were impossible to kill.
"It wasn't until you told me the correct way to cultivate the Mingyu Xuanhuang Technique that I gained the ability to annihilate them."
"Then what?"
Shen Zhao pressed for an answer.
"Of the eighteen people from the Nine Netherworlds who escaped from the Northern Underworld, I personally killed fifteen, and three others fled the Northern Region."
An investigation revealed that they had already arrived in the Eastern Regions and were lying in wait within Chang'an City.
So kid, I need your help to solve this problem. Anyway, you and Jiuyou are locked in a life-or-death struggle.
"Let's weaken them now, so there will be fewer obstacles in future direct confrontations, what do you think?"
Shen Zhao asked, "Since you can kill fifteen of them, the remaining three should be no problem either. Why do you need me to help?"
Mu Qiuyao shook her head: "Things aren't as simple as you think. When I fought them, I discovered that every time I killed someone, that person's cultivation would transfer to the remaining people."
After I eliminate fifteen people, the remaining three will all have cultivation levels of at least the fourth rank of Great Emperor.
Upon hearing this, Shen Zhao blurted out, "This is the Nine Netherworld King's Palace's Soul Splitting Evil Technique. When multiple people cultivate the same technique, their cultivation will inevitably transfer to the others after death."
To reach the pinnacle and the highest realm, eighteen people must cultivate together, but the prerequisite is that these eighteen people must suppress their cultivation to the peak of the Quasi-Emperor realm.
Mu Qiuyao: "Indeed, as the person directly involved, you understand Jiuyou best. So, according to you..."
If the suppressed cultivation of these eighteen people were concentrated on one person, that person's cultivation level should be at least the fifth or sixth rank of Great Emperor, right?
Shen Zhao shook his head: "Didn't you hear what I just said? They suppressed their cultivation, so their actual strength is far above the peak of Quasi-Emperor."
Once the combined power of the eighteen individuals is achieved by one person, they will possess at least the strength of a ninth-grade Great Emperor.
"Fuck!"
Mu Qiuyao was stunned.
"I thought I was already quite satisfied with having mastered the Mingyu Xuanhuang Technique and reached the eighth rank of the Great Emperor realm. Now you're telling me that those guys have surpassed me in an instant?"
"Yes, so you're right, I have to get involved in this. Let's cooperate again."
