"Put him down!"
Upon seeing Shen Zhao's corpse fall into enemy hands, Mu Qiuyao shouted and forced Yuan Huo back with a palm strike, then quickly approached Cang Shen.
"Don't come any closer! Or I'll tear him apart!"
"You dare!"
Concerned about Shen Zhao's corpse, Mu Qiuyao was forced to stop ten steps in front of Cang Shen.
At the same time, Yuan Huo's vicious palm struck fiercely from behind Mu Qiuyao.
"Stop right now!"
"Well!"
With a move called "All Rivers Run into the Sea," Mu Qiuyao pinned Yuan Huo to the ground and grabbed the back of his neck with one hand.
"Let him go, or I'll kill him!"
Cang Shen sneered: "Go ahead and kill him if you dare. If you dare to touch him, Shen Zhao's body will be torn to pieces. Want to try?"
As he spoke, he began to gather Yuan energy in his hands, seemingly about to smash Shen Zhao to pieces with a single palm strike.
"Stop! How dare you!"
"See if I dare!"
Upon seeing this, Mu Qiuyao panicked.
Cang Shen smiled knowingly, realizing he had made the right bet, and immediately roared, "Release him! Hurry up! Do you want to watch Shen Zhao turn into pieces?"
Without hesitation, Mu Qiuyao released her grip on Yuan Huo.
Bang--
The moment Yuan Huo broke free, he immediately retaliated by striking Mu Qiuyao with a palm.
Mu Qiuyao was concerned for Shen Zhao's safety, so she neither dodged nor avoided the blow, but took it head-on. She immediately took half a step back and refused to retreat any further.
When she regained her balance, a shocking trail of blood oozed from the corner of her luscious lips.
Yuan Huo, fearing Mu Qiuyao's counterattack, immediately retreated to Cang Shen's side after his successful strike, his face full of arrogance.
However, Mu Qiuyao, who had been severely injured, seemed oblivious. Without even wiping the blood from the corner of her mouth, she took two steps forward and said coldly, "Let him go."
"Haha, Mu Qiuyao, you care about him a lot, don't you?"
Yuan Huo wore a gloating expression.
"I never imagined that the powerful Empress Xuantian, who dominated the Northern Region, was also such a devoted lover."
For this man, you're actually willing to have the entire city of Chang'an mourn and be buried with him. It's clear you truly care about him.
Mu Qiuyao's face was pale as she looked at Shen Zhao's corpse and shouted, "Give him back to me."
Cang Shen sneered and then said, "Mu Qiuyao, let's see how far you're willing to go for this dead man. You'd better kneel down first."
Yuan Huo immediately roared, "Yes, kneel down! Otherwise, we'll tear him apart right now!"
"Kneel or not!"
Kneel down!
Mu Qiuyao clenched her jade-like hands. Under the constant pressure from Cang Shen and Yuan Huo, she finally chose to compromise for the sake of this man.
"Fine, I'll kneel, but you mustn't harm him in the slightest!"
Mu Qiuyao knelt down in front of the two of them.
"Hahaha……"
When he saw that Mu Qiuyao had actually knelt down, and for the sake of a dead body, he burst into laughter.
Throughout nearly two thousand years, even when forced into a life-or-death situation, Mu Qiuyao never knelt before anyone.
Now, for the sake of Shen Zhao's body, I am willing to kneel before these two despicable and cunning villains.
"The Empress who rules the Northern Region has actually knelt before us!"
"Mu Qiuyao, do you still remember the scene when you trapped us in Beiming with your own hands, and the domineering aura you showed when you killed fifteen of our fellow cultivators?"
Despite their sarcastic remarks, Mu Qiuyao remained unmoved, her gaze fixed on Shen Zhao.
"Since you care about him so much, then I'll return him to you. You'd better catch him carefully!"
Cang Shen lifted up Shen Zhao's corpse and, without saying a word, threw it off the tower.
"No, my husband!"
Mu Qiuyao exclaimed in surprise, and without any hesitation, she immediately stood up and flew towards the direction where Shen Zhao had fallen.
Just as she embraced Shen Zhao's corpse in the void.
"Mu Qiuyao~ Take this palm strike, your soul and spirit will be utterly destroyed!"
Yuan Huo's powerful and evil palm struck from behind, hitting her hard on the back.
Instantly, Mu Qiuyao felt an extreme evil energy surge through her body, impacting all her meridians. The Nine Yin Sacred Body and the Tai Xuan Dao Body, which were connected to her life source, shattered instantly from this heavy blow.
"puff--"
Mu Qiuyao coughed up a mouthful of blood. In the void, she felt her soul sway and could no longer control her body. She hugged Shen Zhao's corpse and fell down the tower together.
Boom~
With a loud roar, the two landed inside a house.
“Shen Zhao…”
Seeing Shen Zhao lying not far from her, Mu Qiuyao ignored her injuries and struggled to get up, trying to grab her hand.
Even if we die, we'll die together.
This feeling is truly wonderful.
She only breathed a sigh of relief after crawling to Shen Zhao's side and confirming that Shen Zhao's body was still intact.
"My husband..."
Mu Qiuyao called out softly and hugged him tightly.
"Hahaha, what a touching pair of lovers on the run!"
The sound of death drew near once more.
Yuan Huo and Cang Shen appeared one after the other in the dilapidated house.
Seeing that Mu Qiuyao was already at her limit, the two felt completely relieved.
With Shen Zhao dead and the Empress gone, the dream of dominating the Nine Netherworlds is no longer just a dream.
"Cough cough..."
Mu Qiuyao glanced at Shen Zhao one last time, her pupils already showing a resolute look.
"Shen Zhao, wait for me, I'll be right there to find you."
Mentioning her final burst of energy, Mu Qiuyao intended to perish together with her opponent.
But Yuan Huo acted even faster.
"Mu Qiuyao, my final move will send you and Shen Zhao to meet in the Yellow Springs."
"The Soul-Destroying Technique: Soul and Spirit Lost!"
The evil energy erupted, and the houses were instantly razed to the ground.
The devastating palm strike of Yuan Huo was aimed directly at Mu Qiuyao's body.
