Shen Shao's arrival surprised Xie Tian.
Thus, the shackled Xie Tian immediately knelt on one knee upon seeing this respectable figure.
"Rise."
Shen Shao glanced at the cell Xie Tian was in and sat down on the grass. He beckoned to Xie Tian.
"Sit beside me."
Xie Tian thought about it and sat down.
"What do you think?"
Xie Tian was puzzled. Shen Shao smiled and pointed in the direction of Yue Province.
"It's a long story." Xie Tian smiled bitterly and shook his head. The shackles rattled, just like his current chaotic state of mind.
Shen Shao smiled. "I have some free time today. I'll listen to you slowly."
Xie Tian thought for a long time but did not know how to explain the sudden eruption of his main body and the reason why the Body Sect was shaken. He could only smile bitterly and sigh again. "Your Majesty, it's really a long story."
"It's for the sake of beauties!"
Xie Tian was a little uneasy. He thought about it and found that the reason was not accurate, so he shook his head.
"Then it's for the sake of kindness."
"En!"
Shen Shao nodded and smiled. "We know your character. Even if others show you a drop of kindness, you will repay it with a gushing spring."
The Divine Emperor's praise made Xie Tian feel a little ashamed. At this time, Shen Shao continued, "If someone wants to kill you, even if it's just a thought, you will kill them first."
Xie Tian's heart trembled. He was silent for a long time before he raised his head and said seriously, "There are some people that I will not kill."
"Oh!" Shen Shao was happy and smiled. "For example?"
"For example, You Xiao Chan and the people of the Body Sect."
Shen Shao nodded. "Although it is a freak combination of factors, You Xiao Chan and the Body Sect have done you a great favor. So you want to tell me that you will not kill anyone who has done you a favor?"
Xie Tian nodded.
"What would you do if my prince wanted to kill you?"
Xie Tian's heart was beating wildly. He had never imagined that Shenshao would understand him so well, nor had he imagined that Shenshao would be so direct.
"I will escape."
"What if the prince is dissatisfied and the Nine Prefectures come after you?"
Xie Tian remained silent.
The smile in Shenshao's eyes deepened. He raised his chin and said, "Speak."
"No one can kill me."
Even someone as strong as Shenshao was stunned by Xie Tian's boasting, because even he didn't dare to say such words.
"You have such confidence?"
Xie Tian said seriously, "As long as there's enough time."
"Ha!" Shenshao couldn't stop laughing.
Seeing this, Xie Tian heaved a sigh of relief. He really didn't want to continue this topic with Shenshao, who had done him a great favor.
"Little Sly Fox, do you think I'm that easy to fool?"
How could Xie Tian's change escape Shenshao's notice? He scolded jokingly, "Hurry up and answer me. Xing Yan is on his way here with the torture order. If I leave, no matter how slow Xing Yan is, you will only have an hour. That amount of time isn't enough for you to defy the heavens and escape from my prison."
The moment these words rang out, Xie Tian completely understood the purpose of Shenshao's visit. The Divine Sovereign wasn't here to beat around the bush. Rather, he wanted an incomparably accurate answer.
The answer to how he could get along with Shenshao's bloodline after this incident.
Xie Tian closed his eyes and swept away the fear in his heart. He pondered for a quarter of an hour before he opened his eyes again and said in Silence, "Your Majesty, if I can't bear it any longer, I will definitely make a move."
Shenshao's smile gradually faded.
"Is that your answer?"
"Yes."
"Are you not afraid of me?"
"No."
Shenshao's expression turned cold.
Xie Tian said, "Only with respect."
"Is this flattery?"
Xie Tian calmed down completely and thought for a moment. "This is the first time in my life that I've ever flattered someone."
Shenshao finally couldn't keep a straight face and laughed. "This is also the shortest flattery I've ever heard in my life, haha."
But Xie Tian couldn't laugh because there wasn't much humor in the Divine Emperor's laughter.
"Are you so confident that you can kill my descendant?"
Shenshao stretched out his right hand and started counting with his fingers. "The fate of the Jin dynasty, the fate of Zhongzhou, the second and third death camps, Lu Xian's number … You're listening so carefully. Do you really want to remember it so that you can deal with my son in the future?"
Xie Tian was a little embarrassed. "I'm used to it."
"Used to it?"
"There was once an emperor, and his people told me the same thing."
"And then?"
"And then I killed them one by one." Xie Tian recalled and said, "I didn't kill them all. In the end, I killed my way to him, but he didn't die."
"Didn't die?"
"He was crazy."
Shenshao nodded. "Are you threatening me?"
Xie Tian shook his head and smiled. "I'm telling you a story."
"Your story?"
"Yes."
"So, you're just remembering it. You've never thought about the fate of the country, the fate of the second and third death camps. They're much stronger than the emperor's power."
Xie Tian smiled. "It's not time yet."
"When will it be time?"
"When you're qualified to think about it."
Shenshao nodded and sighed. "Wild but not arrogant, just like Xie Wudi."
Xie Tian was stunned.
Shenshao laughed and scolded, "What are you looking at? Do you think I don't know your background?"
Xie Tian was indeed a little nervous. His throat moved a little and he asked, "Your Majesty, why are you so sure?"
"After you flipped my daughter upside down, only the true successor of the Invincible Evil Sect will be able to pass the Nine Trials of Life and Death.
Xie Tian came to a sudden realization. His mouth opened slightly and he said in shock, "That, that woman is …"
"Shen Ji, my most beloved princess." Shenshao smiled. "You've seen her in the Autumn Hunt. Black armor. Bang, bang, bang!"
"It's her!"
Xie Tian finally knew why that scene was so familiar. Wasn't it the scene when he climbed out of the Nine Trials Forbidden Grounds and the black armor of the nine camps appeared on him?
Xie Tian felt like he was struck by lightning. He stared at Shenshao blankly and wanted to ask, Your Majesty, why did your daughter imitate me?
"What nonsense are you thinking?" Shen Shao was so angry that he laughed. He slapped Xie Tian on the head. "Shen Ji is inexperienced in the ways of the world. He found it fun and learned it. Don't tell anyone!"
"Yes!"
Xie Tian covered his head and wanted to laugh, but he didn't dare to.
"By the way, what's your impression of Shen Ji?" Shenshao asked with a smile.
This time, Xie Tian didn't just feel like he was struck by lightning. He was really struck by lightning.
Seeing Xie Tian's eyes widen like never before, Shenshao was annoyed at himself for being a little impulsive.
"She is very good."
"En!"
Xie Tian thought for a while and sincerely praised, "Princess Shen Ji is very cute!"
"Of course my daughter is cute!" Shenshao felt a little nervous and asked, "How cute?"
"This …" Xie Tian frowned and thought for a long time. Suddenly, his eyes lit up. "As cute as King Zhao."
Shenshao's face turned green. He said in a low voice, "You are praising me!"
"Yes." Xie Tian nodded matter-of-factly. "They are the most special Prince and Princess I have ever seen."
Shenshao spent half an hour sizing up Xie Tian. After confirming that Xie Tian was really praising him, the anger in his heart dissipated. After thinking for a while, he understood what Xie Tian meant.
"I didn't expect you to look at people in this way."
Xie Tian nodded. "This is enough."
Shenshao was silent for a long time. He glanced at Xie Tian with a complicated expression and asked the most important question in his heart.
"If the Divine Emperor collapses, what will you do?"
Xie Tian's pupils shrank!
Shenshao smiled. "I am just giving an example."
"Xie Tian will die to fulfill Your Majesty's last wish."
Xie Tian raised his head after saying that, but he didn't find anything strange on Shenshao's face.
Shenshao also looked at Xie Tian in Silence.
He had heard this from countless people over the past three hundred years. Xie Tian was the youngest among them, had the lowest cultivation base, and had the lowest status. His words were also the weakest and the weakest.
But he believed that Xie Tian would definitely die for him.
"Your Majesty!"
Shenshao felt the slight tremble in this word. He gently touched Xie Tian's head and laughed. "I will also say something big. No one can kill me. Don't worry!"
"I believe you!"
Shenshao smiled and asked, "How was the Palace's harvest?"
Xie Tian did not hide anything and told him about the three Supreme Taoist Scriptures. Shenshao's pupils shrank.
"Dao Kuang did not kill you!"
"On the way back, I felt an inexplicable danger of death!"
Shenshao laughed and said excitedly, "You really dug out the heart of the Palace. Dao Kuang did not kill you and the others have a good heart. Tell me, how do you want me to reward you?"
Xie Tian shook his head and said seriously, "Your Majesty has rewarded Xie Tian countless times. I dare not ask for more."
"You are too polite. Give me the jade pendant."
Shenshao took the dragon-shaped jade pendant and his divine consciousness moved slightly. A trace of exhaustion flashed in his eyes. He then handed it back to Xie Tian and said, "Keep it well. Don't learn from Shen Wei and use it all the time."
Xie Tian was deeply moved, but he just nodded and hid his gratitude in his heart.
"I am leaving." Shenshao walked out of the cell and turned around the corner with a smile. "I look forward to the day when you merge with your real body."
"Farewell, Your Majesty!"
Xie Tian knelt to send Shenshao off, but he was a little confused. Shenshao's last words made him look up and see Xing Sha's father, the Military Minister Xing Yan, looking at him in a daze.
"You, you, you are Xie Tian!"
