"Zhaozhao!"
"Qiu Yao?"
On his way to the ancient royal tomb of Bashu, Shen Zhao unexpectedly encounters Mu Qiuyao, who is searching for him.
Upon seeing Shen Zhao, Mu Qiuyao immediately grabbed his hand and said, "Shen Zhao, something has happened to Qingluan."
Shen Zhao quickly comforted him, "What happened? Tell me slowly. Did Xu Rong kidnap you?"
Mu Qiuyao shook her head: "No, it's not Xu Rong, it's Jiuyou. Sister Qingluan has been captured by Jiuyou's people!"
"What did you say?"
Shen Zhao frowned, then looked puzzled.
"Why did the people of Jiuyou capture Jiang Qingluan?"
Mu Qiuyao immediately recounted to Shen Zhao what had happened the day before, when the two of them encountered Tianxie Xuanwang and Tianjin Xiesu outside Xingshi City.
After saying that, she couldn't help but blame herself, saying, "It's all my negligence that led to Qingluan's accident. It's all my fault. I should have kept a closer eye on her."
"It is most likely the Amethyst Evil Eye, which is said to be an eyeball that was destroyed by a sage named Di Zhiheng during a rebellion tens of thousands of years ago. It is extremely evil."
After listening to Mu Qiuyao's description, Shen Zhao guessed the general idea and couldn't help but sigh.
"I never imagined that the forces lurking in the Nine Netherworlds within the Holy Domain were far stronger than I thought. Heavenly Evil Mystic King, Heavenly Forbidden Evil Su..."
"One is a ninth-rank Great Emperor, one is a fourth-rank Great Emperor, and there's even a divine-grade spiritual artifact like the Amethyst Evil Eye. It's only natural that you didn't react immediately."
Mu Qiuyao said anxiously, "Then Zhaozhao, what should we do now? She's my only trustworthy best friend, and I really don't want anything to happen to her."
"Don't worry, I'll get her out."
Since the purpose of my trip was to explore the ancient royal tombs of Bashu, I might as well change my plans.
Instead of investigating, they forced their way in.
He could tell that Jiang Qingluan must have been taken to the ancient king's tomb.
After all, how could a sixth-rank Great Emperor possibly be controlled, except by taking him to the branch headquarters?
However, Shen Zhao couldn't understand why they had arrested Jiang Qingluan for no reason.
But none of that matters. Since she's my wife's best friend, I should help her out if I can.
"Do you know where they took Sister Qingluan?"
Mu Qiuyao keenly sensed that Shen Zhao seemed to know Jiang Qingluan's whereabouts, and her eyes lit up immediately.
"It's just a guess, but it's pretty much true," Shen Zhao replied. "Qiu Yao, don't worry, leave this to me."
"No! I'll go with you!"
Mu Qiuyao grabbed Shen Zhao's arm.
"It was I who lost Qingluan. I must go and find her before I can feel at ease."
Shen Zhao immediately shook his head: "No, Qiu Yao, you believe me, I can definitely bring the person back to you safe and sound."
Mu Qiuyao shook her head: "Shen Zhao, I'm afraid something might happen to you too!"
Shen Zhao smiled and said, "The person who could cause me an accident hasn't been born yet. Listen to me, leave this matter to me."
"While you're at it, could you also do me a favor?"
"What is it?" Mu Qiuyao asked curiously.
“Zhang Huan and Duan Jiong were my subordinates in my previous life. You will assist them in taking control of the military forces in various strongholds in Shu. You don’t need to worry about the Shu army on the border. Just make sure that nothing goes wrong during the execution of their plan.”
Upon hearing this, Mu Qiuyao hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded: "But you must promise me that you will return safely no matter what. I really don't want anything to happen to you!"
Her meaning was quite clear.
If things really get really critical, then abandon Jiang Qingluan and make sure you are safe.
It wasn't that Mu Qiuyao was heartless; she genuinely wanted both of them to appear before her safely.
But compared to Jiang Qingluan, she cares more about Shen Zhao now.
"What nonsense are you spouting? The Nine Netherworlds are nothing but a piece of trash; I can destroy them with a mere glance!"
Of course, these words were meant to comfort Mu Qiuyao.
This battle against the Nine Netherworlds is different from the past. Both the Heavenly Evil King and the Heavenly Forbidden Evil Su are present. The Nine Netherworld forces within the Ancient King's Tomb are definitely not comparable to those in Chang'an or the Central Region.
He would be facing at least ten quasi-emperors and two cultivators at the late-stage Great Emperor realm.
Even more and stronger.
Only you know how dangerous it is.
Seeing Shen Zhao's confident and resolute words, Mu Qiuyao felt somewhat relieved. She then took out the letter Jiang Qingluan had given her from her storage ring and handed it to him, saying:
"Here, this is what Sister Qingluan asked me to give you. I don't know what's written on it."
"For me?"
Shen Zhao took the letter and opened it immediately.
The elegant handwriting immediately catches the eye and soothes the soul.
"Young Master Shen, after much hesitation, I've decided to write down my thoughts. I don't know when I'll have the courage to hand this letter to you."
I know this is abrupt, but I really can't think of any other way to express my feelings to you.
Let me tell you a secret, you might not believe it, but I've actually lived a second life. Isn't that amazing? You probably think I'm talking nonsense, right?
But it's true, I'm not lying to you! In my previous life, during the short month or so that we worked together, I found myself hopelessly in love with you.
Your work style and your witty conversation have gradually captivated me, and I truly hope our collaboration can continue.
This way I can spend more time with you. In this short month, I've thought about a lot of things, mostly about you.
To be honest, I had a lot of reservations when I first approached you for cooperation. If it weren't for the pressure from the Heavenly Demon Sect, we probably would never have crossed paths.
