Quick Wear: The Heirless Boss Wants to Get Close to Her Every Day

Chapter 648 The Darkened Sword Maniac of the Martial World vs. the Cunning Enchantress (34)

Seeing that he couldn't utter a single word for a long time, Shen Shuyi became too lazy to say anything.

She surveyed her surroundings; it was a vast underground palace, filled with vegetation, wild animals, and springs. Everlasting lamps hung upside down on the palace walls.

The eternal flame flickered, its light eerily unsettling, as if someone were secretly watching those entering the palace.

After the two filled their stomachs, they began to explore the underground palace. Just as Shen Shuyi was about to take a step forward, she was grabbed by a warm, large hand.

Xie Xinghe's tone was completely calm. "Let's go together."

"Okay, let's die together." Shen Shuyi still had the mood to tease.

After walking for about 15 minutes, a huge stone gate appeared before them. On both sides of the stone gate were still eternal lamps, but these eternal lamps were an eerie red.

The two stood outside the door, not making any rash moves, but the stone door seemed to sense their presence and opened automatically with a "rumble".

"careful!"

Xie Xinghe scooped up Shen Shuyi and carried her to the side, because the moment the stone door opened, countless flying arrows shot out from the wall.

The two were dodging the rain of arrows when a huge rock fell behind them, blocking their escape route.

Fortunately, the rain of arrows stopped, and the two had no choice but to go inside. The scene inside changed abruptly, becoming more open and brighter than expected.

"Let's go." Xie Xinghe took her hand and led her forward.

Shen Shuyi felt a cool breeze circulating around her, but she couldn't see an exit. Instead, she immediately noticed the twelve red stone pillars supporting the underground palace.

Each stone pillar was carved with runes she couldn't understand, and a white jade coffin hung in the middle, creating a somewhat eerie scene.

Shen Shuyi hooked Xie Xinghe's finger and said, "Where do you think Long Yuan would hide the treasure? It can't be inside that coffin, can it?"

With their light-footed skills, flying up to check the stone coffin wouldn't be difficult for them.

However, given Long Yuan's shrewd maneuvering, neither of them made any rash moves, lest they trigger some kind of trap or formation.

Shen Shuyi and Xie Xinghe carefully examined the underground palace back to back. If they couldn't find the treasure after searching the entire underground palace, they would have no choice but to fly up and examine the coffin.

"66, can you pinpoint the location of the secret treasure?"

She remembered that the information about this small world said that Shi Zhengchun easily obtained the secret treasure in the underground palace, but it didn't say in detail where the treasure was located. When Shi Zhengchun retrieved the treasure, he was being affectionate with his confidante, and the treasure-hunting process was omitted.

[Host, the treasure is in the coffin, but 66 has also detected signs of life inside. You must be careful.]
Shen Shuyi raised an eyebrow. Surely it wasn't a zombie? Otherwise, she must have wandered onto the wrong set.
By this time, the two had finished searching the entire underground palace, and Xie Xinghe and she both looked at the coffin.

"Xie Xinghe, shall we all attack together?"

Xie Xinghe pulled her behind him, "I'll go up and take a look."

Just as he took a step forward, preparing to leap to the side of the coffin, a strange yet ancient and mellow voice rang out.

"After all these years, someone has finally come to my underground palace."

As the sound rang out, the twelve stone pillars began to tremble.

Shen Shuyi frowned slightly. "Who are you?"

The voice seemed to be considering its words carefully, "You can call me the Dragon Abyss Alliance Leader."

Shen Shuyi took Xie Xinghe's hand, and the two looked at each other.

Wasn't Long Yuan already dead?
The ever-burning lamps on the walls flickered, the stone pillars trembled, and a phantom appeared in front of the coffin. A powerful pressure swept over them, and Shen Shuyi and Xie Xinghe had to exert their strength to stabilize themselves.

“You are very brave and your martial arts skills are strong enough. You should be the best of your generation.”

"Not bad."

His aged voice was gentle and mellow, like a spring breeze.

But Shen Shuyi felt a chill run down her spine, as if something was wrong.

Long Yuan seemed to see through her expression and spoke again.

"Don't worry, I have no ill intentions towards you, and I even have a small gift to offer." At this moment, the figure in the void revealed its true form.

He was a male sword cultivator with white hair, yet possessing a somewhat otherworldly and ethereal air. He had a powerful and vigorous demeanor, and his face was somewhat magnetic.

Shen Shuyi thought, "He's so generous as to pass on his life's most treasured possession to someone he's never even met."
Just as she was pondering, that ancient and mellow voice spoke to Xie Xinghe.

"Judging from your attire, you must be a disciple of the Canglan Sword Sect, right?"

Xie Xinghe: "This junior does indeed come from the Canglan Sword Sect."

The voice of the Dragon Abyss Alliance Leader drifted over, "My time is up, and I have been waiting for a destined person."

"You also wield a sword, and your talent is exceptional. It is clear that you are destined to be with me. Would you be willing to inherit my life's worth of skills?"

Xie Xinghe remained vigilant, clearly unmoved by Long Yuan's offer of power transfer, and instead asked, "May I ask, Alliance Leader, where are the Tai Xuan Scripture and the Xuan Qing Token?"

The aged voice replied:

"If you are willing to accept my legacy, you will naturally be able to take my secret treasure with you."

"Such an opportunity is not available to everyone. Don't you want to inherit my legacy and unify the martial arts world?"

Shen Shuyi could tell that even though Long Yuan spoke calmly, there was still a hint of excitement in his voice.

This doesn't look like something that involves teaching and imparting knowledge.

"I will pass on all my martial arts skills to you, so that the entire martial arts world will support you to become the new leader of the martial arts alliance."

Xie Xinghe listened to his seductive words and finally spoke.

"When I transfer my power, I have to give up all resistance and let your internal energy seep into my dantian, which means I am handing my life and death over to you."

He wanted the secret treasure, but he didn't want to put his life in someone else's hands.

Moreover, Shen Shuyi had shared life and death with him, so he had to be extremely cautious.

"If you want my trust, please hand over the Tai Xuan Scripture and the Xuan Qing Token first."

The compassionate figure in the void flashed anger and impatience in its eyes.

He hadn't expected the young man in front of him to be so calm and persistent, actually trying to negotiate with him on his own turf!
Overcome!

Suddenly, a surge of powerful energy rushed in, eagerly entering Xie Xinghe's dantian.

The aged voice was filled with excitement, "Young man, close your eyes and focus your mind on the center of your brow."

Shen Shuyi and Xie Xinghe suddenly realized that this old scoundrel wanted to possess their body!

Xie Xinghe struggled to resist, his brow burning as if a raging fire was burning inside, causing him to roar out incessantly.

Shen Shuyi swung her long whip, leaped up, and knocked the old man's coffin down.

"Bam—"

The illusory image vanished suddenly, but the sound lingered in the underground palace like a shadow.

"Hahaha--"

"I have waited for so many years, and finally I have found a young sword cultivator with extraordinary talent!"

"It's simply the perfect rebirth vessel tailor-made for this old man!"

"Little girl, I advise you not to waste your energy. In order to be reborn, I have been planning for many years to set up a soul-destroying and body-seizing array in the underground palace using my own sea of ​​consciousness. Unless I come back to life, no one can get out!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the twelve stone pillars flashed with red light, which converged into an ancient talisman array that enveloped the entire underground palace.
