The Ghost Domain Bronze Token was given by Mo Bai.
The Soul - Condensing Pearl was given by Zhao Huai.
No one knew what kind of power Zhao Huai had condensed in the Soul - Condensing Pearl.
Nor did anyone know what mysterious power was contained in that simple bronze token engraved with a name.
When these two items came into contact, the two forces within them began to stir, like undercurrents surging.
Zhao Shuning naturally had no idea.
When she hung those two accessories on the ice silk and put them on, she only felt a warm current pass through her heart, a very familiar feeling.
It was as if these two items had always belonged to her.
On a scorching hot day, Zhao Shuning reached out her hand to block the blazing sunlight. At this moment, a huge shadow appeared above her head.
Zhao Shuning turned around.
It was the Phoenix.
"Little Phoenix, you're awake."
"Master, where shall we go next?"
"I think I'd like to visit my master."
"Master, you..."
"Don't worry. I won't make things difficult for you and Bai Ze again. Little Phoenix, Xiaobai didn't take what happened back then to heart at all. Are you so obsessed because...?"
The feathers on the Phoenix's head fluffed up a bit.
"Master!"
"Alright, alright. I know. I was just sighing."
The Phoenix looked a bit helpless.
"Master, that Bai Ze is as cold as the Emperor Venerable. There are very few things that can really matter to it."
Zhao Shuning nodded and then shook her head.
"Who said that? Master is not cold at all."
The Phoenix snorted. Isn't that true? Didn't you see how the Emperor Venerable treated others hundreds of years ago?
Apart from a pair of sisters, when did the Emperor Venerable ever show a smile to others?
"Little Phoenix, let's go."
Zhao Shuning gently patted the Phoenix's wing, and the Phoenix squatted down. Zhao Shuning climbed onto its back and sat cross - legged.
"You've been to Qingyun Peak before."
"Got it."
The Phoenix leaped into the air, spreading its wings and flying high. Its body was almost ten feet above the ground.
"Master, do you have something to do when you go to Qingyun Peak?"
"I have to go to Master to verify those baseless words Yuan Xin said before he went crazy."
Another thing was that Zhao Shuning missed her master a bit. Her master was in charge of the Star Disk Formation and usually had no chance to come out and visit her. Since Zhao Shuning in this life was practicing both spiritual power and spiritual energy, she didn't have much time to be with her master all day. So if they wanted to meet, Zhao Shuning had to take the initiative.
The Phoenix flew extremely steadily.
But when passing by a mountain range, the Phoenix seemed a bit absent - minded.
The bronze token on Zhao Shuning's chest also became hot.
She looked down.
Wasn't this the Misty Mountain? This was where she had first met Mo Bai.
"Little Phoenix, stop for a while."
The Phoenix stopped and then dived down, bringing Zhao Shuning to the ground. Zhao Shuning waved her hand, and the Phoenix got into the Qiankun Pouch on her waist.
It was still that cave.
The bronze token reacted.
Zhao Shuning thought, could there be other rare things hidden in this cave?
Before she could react.
A powerful suction force came.
Even Zhao Shuning, who was now a spiritual pharmacist of the Seven Realms, was no match for it.
She quickly condensed a long whip with her spiritual power and tightly tied it to the giant tree beside the tree hole. But her body still involuntarily floated towards the cave.
"What a powerful force."
The Phoenix in the Qiankun Pouch also sensed the power's strength and felt a bit familiar with it, so it struggled to get out.
"Little Phoenix, stay there for now. Don't come out. I'll go and take a look."
After saying that, Zhao Shuning's body finally couldn't withstand this powerful force and suddenly rushed towards the cave entrance.
The familiar place was still as dark as ever.
Before Zhao Shuning could take out the night - pearl on her waist, someone tightly grabbed her neck. Then, a strong sense of suffocation came.
She didn't know who the other person was, but the other person's power was indeed very powerful. Compared with Yuan Xin, it was even stronger. Such power should be comparable to that of a ninth - level spiritual pharmacist.
The man showed no mercy.
Just as Zhao Shuning was about to suffocate, the Soul - Condensing Pearl on her chest emitted a faint light. The sudden light, although very weak, still made the other person panic for a moment.
Zhao Shuning quickly seized this opportunity, placed her hands on the other person's wrist, and then flipped her body vigorously to escape the other person's restraint.
A huge night - pearl was also thrown into the middle of the cave by Zhao Shuning at this moment.
The whole cave immediately became bright.
Zhao Shuning could finally see the other person clearly.
It was a man.
He was dressed in black, about 1.85 meters tall. His jet - black hair hung straight down to his waist. If it weren't for the Adam's apple on his neck, Zhao Shuning would have thought that he was a great beauty.
The man covered his eyes with both hands, and then slowly let go after getting used to the strong light.
When he let go of his hands, Zhao Shuning's dagger had already stabbed into his body.
Fortunately, the man was very agile. When Zhao Shuning rushed forward, he tilted his body and dodged the fatal blow.
When Zhao Shuning saw what the man looked like, her dagger had already passed through his shoulder, and blood was starting to seep out.
The man also saw the girl.
Compared with Zhao Shuning's surprise, he just frowned tightly, feeling that the woman in front of him was a bit familiar.
He counterattacked. Zhao Shuning blocked in front of her with both arms and was knocked back several meters.
The man stood up enduring the pain.
After seeing Zhao Shuning, his face became even more unpleasant. He suddenly pulled out the dagger and walked towards Zhao Shuning.
The color of his pupils also began to change slowly.
The man was cold - blooded, furious, and merciless in killing.
Zhao Shuning looked at the man in front of her. His face was much more delicate and three - dimensional than before, but his expression was completely different from the person she had seen before.
He was cold - blooded and murderous. There was not a trace of other emotions in his eyes when he looked at Zhao Shuning.
It was as if he were a tyrannical king, and all things that made him unhappy had to disappear from the world.
Zhao Shuning looked around.
Hadn't she taught him how to walk, talk, and act?
Why?
There were so many bones piled up in this cave.
What on earth had he suffered? And how had he become like this?
If it weren't for a huge stimulus, how could that young man who had never attacked her look at her with such a cold - blooded look now?
Could it be that...
He wasn't Mo Bai?
The man walked forward step by step, and Zhao Shuning just stared at him.
When the man stretched out his hand and began to gather a large amount of spiritual power to attack again, Zhao Shuning softly called out.
"Is it Mo Bai?"
