From his previous life to this present one, they finally shared a moment together.

This enraged shout made it to the palace wall. As the ghosts were still trying to pounce on him, deep in the inner palace, a weary call came from Xie Shen. "Show him in."

All the ghosts paused when they heard Xie Shen's words and exchanged glances. The palace gates gradually opened at this point, and someone of the Deification level in official garb stood at the entrance with a group of attendants, respectfully saying, "Ghost Lord Fu, His Majesty invites you to come in."

Fu Changling didn't hesitate. He jumped down from the wall and landed in front of the official, holding his sword in one hand and clutching the talisman paper in the other, calmly saying, "You should know what I have in my hand."

"I know." The official's expression was composed. "His Majesty also knows. Your Excellency, you may rest assured. His Majesty invites you in without any ill will."

"Let's go."

Fu Changling was rather silent. He didn't believe the official's words, but he didn't wish to dwell on them either. Therefore, he merely assumed a defensive stance, keeping his guard up at all times, and followed the official to the palace.

They walked through the gates of the palace and finally arrived at the main hall. Xie Shen was the only one in the hall when Fu Changling entered. He sat on his high seat and wore an expression of unrelenting fatigue. Fu Changling clenched the explosive talisman in his hand and stared up at Xie Shen. "Where's Qin Yan?"

"He's fine," Xie Shen replied indifferently. "I'm willing to absolve you of responsibility for what you've done. You should leave the Cliff of Ten Thousand Bones."

"I'm asking you where Qin Yan is!" Fu Changling shouted loudly. "You think I'm here to negotiate with you?!"

Xie Shen said nothing. He remained calm as he observed the explosive talisman that Fu Changling was holding.

He knew exactly what Fu Changling was holding. Back then, when that person built the Cliff of Ten Thousand Bones, she told him that they were already fierce ghosts who harboured a bitter hatred for Yunze. In the hope that they would let go of their grudges and either be reincarnated or never enter Yunze, she built the Cliff of Ten Thousand Bones.

There was a core formation inside the Cold Pool Cave. Once that core formation was destroyed, the entire Cliff of Ten Thousand Bones would cease to exist.

In order to guard the core formation, that person had set up a barricade at the Cold Pool Cave. No ghosts or demons from the Cliff of Ten Thousand Bones, not even him, could enter the Cold Pool Cave.

He understood what Fu Changling meant since he knew exactly what was in Fu Changling's hand. If he had decided to leave on his own, he would have done so long ago. Today, he came to the palace just to take Qin Yan away.

Xie Shen got to his feet and indifferently murmured, "Come on, I'll take you to see him."

Fu Changling was astounded. He hadn't anticipated that Xie Shen would comply with him so easily. He couldn't help but be more vigilant, and while keeping up with Xie Shen, he asked, "What do you mean? You're willing to let him go with me?"

"It's not that I won't let him go," Xie Shen's tone was calm, "it's he himself who made a pledge to stay."

"What do you mean?" Fu Changling frowned. "What do you mean he himself made a pledge to stay?"

Xie Shen paused in his steps but said nothing. He turned his head, looked him up and down, and then asked, "The one who needs to use the Flower of Renascence is you, isn't it?"
