Bai Xinian's answer was even more straightforward.
"With this sword strike, you've fulfilled your first promise to me, but what do you intend to use to repay the rest?"
"I'll give you your freedom."
"..."
Shen Zhao's answer caused Bai Xinian's stunningly beautiful face to show a moment of surprise.
After a long silence, she asked in a trembling voice, "Are you planning to end all of this?"
"Um."
Without saying much, Shen Zhao simply murmured.
"good!"
Bai Xi uttered a single word.
"But I have one more condition."
"Please speak."
"If you live, marry me."
Shen Zhao closed his eyes and remained silent.
"Seven days of sitting together, and you moved me."
"Oh……"
Shen Zhao let out a helpless chuckle.
"I will give you an explanation once the dust settles."
"I don't want an explanation, I want the reality."
Without much preamble, Shen Zhao calmly made his preparations.
"At the moment when the sun is about to strike, the secrets of heaven will be obscured for a moment. That will be the best time for you to draw your sword."
"good."
Bai Xi responded with a sound of agreement, and then said nothing more.
Shen Zhao dared not look Bai Xinian in the eye, even though he knew she was blind.
To be honest, the person I owe the most in these nine lifetimes, besides Su Yunying, is Bai Xinian right in front of me.
Nine promises, nine broken promises. Relying on the rebirth memory erasure technique and understanding the destiny of the past twenty years, he never truly took the promises seriously.
Little did they know that this action had unintentionally deeply hurt Bai Xinian.
At noon, the sun and moon gradually dimmed.
Shen Zhao was already ready.
Bai Xinian pinched her sword fingers, and the divine sword was already in her hand.
Instantly, the sword intent shook the heavens and earth, and strange phenomena appeared frequently in the void, including a magnificent scene of the sun and moon shining together.
"Are you ready?"
"bring it on."
blow--
As soon as he finished speaking, he thrust out with his sword, the sword energy immediately piercing through Shen Zhao's chest.
Instantly, the Dao energy dispersed, forming a beautiful yet tragic scene of the Heavenly Sword disintegrating behind Shen Zhao.
Shen Zhao frowned and clutched his chest.
"The ultimate sword intent lives up to its name."
"The sword energy will remain in your body for a month. After a month, if you don't force the sword energy out, I don't need to tell you what the consequences will be."
"One month is enough."
Shen Zhao clenched his fists, his eyes becoming more resolute than ever before.
"Do you... have any other wishes?"
Bai Xinian sheathed her sword and asked.
Shen Zhao took a deep breath: "If I can't come back, please take care of my family for me."
"If you die, I will be buried with you. But before I die, I will send Song Yanran, Su Yunying, Jiang Qingluan, and Mu Qiuyao to be buried with me."
After all, if you die, there will be no hope left in this world. Rather than let them become monsters, it's better to give them a release.
Unexpectedly, Bai Xinian did not play by the rules at all, and her answer was so resolute.
"Sigh, never mind..."
Knowing that further persuasion would be useless, Shen Zhao sighed, flicked his cloak, and proudly stepped onto the stairs leading to the entrance of the Nine Luminaries Divine Abyss.
Hearing the sound of receding footsteps, a trace of sadness appeared on Bai Xinian's originally calm cheeks.
"Survive, then marry me!"
Upon hearing this, Shen Zhao paused slightly before stepping onto the stairs.
"We must survive."
These were her last words to the man before his figure disappeared from sight.
Tears streamed down through the gaps in the bandage.
This man has suffered so much.
Shen Zhao continued forward and, upon reaching the entrance of the stairs, once again encountered the nun Minghui, who had been waiting for him for a long time.
"Master, I humbly request something."
"Fellow Daoist, please speak."
Shen Zhao slowly turned his gaze to the Buddhist lamp in her hand.
