102: A deal with the Empress of the Great Merchants!

Before Shen Xuansheng's eyes, patterns appeared as if a mirror surface were shattering, and finally, it cracked.

Inside the Star Plucking Palace.

The Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox was currently toying with a mirror in her hand, grooming herself before it, and said: "My Great Shang Celestial Dynasty has two innate supreme treasures: one is the six paths mirror, and the other is the god slaying sword."

"The sword in your hand is a fragment of the god slaying sword."

Shen Xuansheng put away the fragment of the god slaying sword and looked at the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox: "What does the Empress mean?"

"Only by holding my great shang token and possessing an Innate Dao Body can one enter the main palace, the Chaoge Palace."

Upon hearing this, a look of realization appeared in Shen Xuansheng's eyes.

"So that's how it is. It seems I have no affinity with the Chaoge Palace?"

The Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox stopped her movements, a smile appearing on her face. As Shen Xuansheng looked at her, for that very moment, it was as if the heavens and earth lost their color. In Shen Xuansheng's eyes, it seemed there was no woman in the world more beautiful than her.

The Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox flew up and came to Shen Xuansheng's side. From behind him, she rested her chin lightly on his shoulder, her breath fragrant as she spoke: "That is indeed the case."

"However, if you are willing to make a deal with me, I can also let you enter the Chaoge Palace." Hot breath wafted into Shen Xuansheng's ear, her voice seductive to the bone, making one feel weak just hearing it.

"What kind of deal?" A look of wariness appeared in Shen Xuansheng's eyes. The person before him was no pushover. She was a figure from the ancient era, the Empress of a Celestial Dynasty. To have survived until now—if it came to scheming, she could scheme someone to death!

Noticing Shen Xuansheng's wariness, the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox couldn't help but smile: "Rest assured, it will be to your benefit."

"You came here merely for the innate supreme treasure. You cannot take the six paths mirror, but I can give you the god slaying sword." With a flicker, the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox disappeared from Shen Xuansheng's side and returned to the bronze sarcophagus.

"Take this bronze sarcophagus out with you and nourish it with Luck to ensure my Divine Soul does not dissipate."

"How about it?"

Shen Xuansheng looked at the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox: "Why me? Others do not seem to be weaker than me, do they?"

"Hehe."

The seductive laughter of the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox drifted over: "That's right, the status of others outside is not inferior to yours, but you possess something they do not."

"Emperor."

"No matter how strong others are outside, they are not Emperors, but you are an Emperor!"

"Besides you, only that Qing Youyou could be considered slightly qualified, but not by much. You alone are different; you are an Emperor by nature."

Upon hearing the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox's words, Shen Xuansheng trembled all over, and his eyes were no longer filled with shock, but with killing intent!

"There is no need to release killing intent toward me."

The Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox said: "During my lifetime, I always remained by the side of Emperors. Although this body of yours is not an Emperor's, if I am not mistaken, your Dao Body is One Qi Transforms into Three Venerables, right?"

Shen Xuansheng laughed.

"I originally thought that few people knew about One Qi Transforms into Three Venerables, but I didn't expect that almost everyone knows about it now!"

The Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox shook her head: "You are wrong. Of those who know about your Dao Body, which one is not a Peak figure in the world?"

"Among your peers, if no one told them, who could possibly know?"

"I can only say that the people you have come into contact with have already far surpassed what you should be encountering at your Realm."

"What do you think of my terms?"

Shen Xuansheng spoke up: "Besides the god slaying sword, I also want the Dragon vein!"

"Agreed!"

The Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox did not hesitate in the slightest and nodded directly.

"The Dragon vein here has already been targeted by someone. Since it is going to be taken away anyway, I might as well give it to you."

Shen Xuansheng naturally knew who had targeted it.

Sima Wangquan!

He came on behalf of the Great Zhou Imperial Dynasty to take the Dragon vein!

As for the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox?

The reason Shen Xuansheng was willing was that he did not fear her. Here, he might still be three parts wary, but if she dared to stab him in the back after they went outside, Shen Xuansheng would not mind letting her Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering.

Did she really think the Jiesheng Sect Master was a pushover?

"You can now enter the Chaoge Palace to take the god slaying sword. I will place the Dragon vein inside the bronze sarcophagus, and when you leave, just take this bronze sarcophagus with you."

After the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox finished speaking, one of her tails swept over, knocking Shen Xuansheng directly into a vortex.

"The last Dragon vein of the Great Shang Celestial Dynasty."

"Your Majesty, you cannot blame me for this. Who told him to possess the Eastern Sovereign Body?"

"As a member of the Yao Race, I can only choose him for a Legacy of Eastern Sovereign Taiyi."

...

Chaoge Palace.

Shen Xuansheng looked at the black imperial robe above, which featured golden Dragon patterns and appeared exceptionally majestic. The palace pillars were carved with the image of a mysterious bird.

"The mysterious bird gives birth to Shang?"

Shen Xuansheng looked at the mysterious bird on the pillar, and it seemed as if a cry echoed in his ears.

Screech~~~~~~!

The mysterious bird on the pillar seemed to come alive; it detached from the pillar and flew around the main hall.

"Did the Empress send you?"

The mysterious bird landed, looked at Shen Xuansheng, and asked.

Shen Xuansheng took out the fragment of the god slaying sword: "That's right, I have come to take the god slaying sword!"

The mysterious bird looked at the fragment of the god slaying sword in Shen Xuansheng's hand and nodded: "The god slaying sword has an intense killing intent. Given your current Realm, if you insist on wielding it, there can only be one outcome: being swallowed by the killing intent of the god slaying sword."

"Kid, have you thought it through?"

Shen Xuansheng smiled faintly: "Senior, just bring it here. If I cannot take it, that is my lack of ability!"

The mysterious bird nodded: "Very well!"

Following the cry of the mysterious bird, a surge of killing intent struck within the main hall, charging straight at Shen Xuansheng's Divine Soul.

"Brother Sheng."

Facing this surge of killing intent, Shen Xuansheng only called out softly.

"Hmph!"

The Sword Qi of the Life-Slaying Sword enveloped Shen Xuansheng, and this surge of killing intent dissipated instantly before the Sword Qi of the Life-Slaying Sword.

"Life-Slaying Sword?"

Upon seeing the Life-Slaying Sword, the mysterious bird's tone became somewhat sharp: "So that's how it is!"

"The god slaying sword, take it!"

The mysterious bird called out again, and the killing intent filling the sky condensed, transforming into a black and red sword.

An innate supreme treasure, a weapon of slaughter, the god slaying sword!

The newly appeared god slaying sword was manic and restless, and it even slashed directly at Shen Xuansheng.

"Be quiet!"

The Life-Slaying Sword brought with it the River of Sword Qi and slammed into the god slaying sword. The god slaying sword flew out instantly, its killing intent retracted within, and it landed steadily before Shen Xuansheng.

"Old Shen, look at that. I told you, any innate supreme treasure is just a little brother in front of me!" the Life-Slaying Sword said proudly.

Shen Xuansheng gripped the god slaying sword with one hand, and that surge of killing intent seemed to want to strike at Shen Xuansheng's Divine Soul again.

"You really are stubborn."

Shen Xuansheng smiled at the corner of his mouth, and the life and death reincarnation diagram within his body unfolded. The appearance of the black and white twin fish blasted this surge of killing intent back once again.

This time.

The god slaying sword calmed down completely.

Externally, there was the River of Sword Qi from the Life-Slaying Sword; internally, there were the black and white twin fish of the life and death reincarnation diagram.

A mere bit of killing intent from the god slaying sword wanted to destroy his Divine Soul?

What was it thinking?

"The Life-Slaying Sword, the life and death reincarnation diagram." The mysterious bird flew around Shen Xuansheng and spoke: "It seems the Jiesheng Sect Master is truly good to you."

"If I hadn't already lost my soul, I would have wanted to follow you out. What a pity."

Shen Xuansheng put away the god slaying sword and looked at the mysterious bird: "Senior, since that is the case, if there are other treasures, why not give them all to me? How about that?"
