Li Su sat up and looked around, but didn't find anyone.
"Master Zhao?" Li Su called tentatively.
"I am outside the forbidden area, and I am also in front of you." Zhao Yuding's voice sounded again.
Li Su blinked and didn't understand for a moment.
"Brother Su, the Forbidden Land of Gods and Demons is a very special place. You can understand that you are in the Glazed Golden Bowl and Head Zhao is outside the Golden Bowl.
To you, he may be far away; to him, he may actually be standing opposite you. "Tu Xiaochan's voice sounded in Li Su's ears.
"You can understand that you are in the mirror and he is outside the mirror." The voice of Goddess Xue Ji also sounded in Li Su's mind.
Li Su understood, looked ahead, and asked curiously: "Can you see me?"
"You can see it and hear it." Zhao Yuding said with a smile.
"Is that so?" Li Su imagined Zhao Yuding sitting cross-legged in front of him and asked directly, "This assessment should be far different from the assessment you preset, Master Zhao, right?"
"It was indeed a big accident, but you did a good job." Zhao Yuding praised, "You are better than I imagined."
Li Su blinked and asked, "Then I have passed the test now?"
"There is one last problem in front of you." Zhao Yuding said softly.
Li Su was speechless for a moment. Just now he was lucky enough to think that he could escape the decision.
A moment of silence…
"The situation on my side may be more complicated than you think." Li Su said helplessly. At this time, he had to explain something to Zhao Yuding.
"No matter what happens next, you are already a disciple that I have deemed closed." Zhao Yuding said warmly, "If you are willing to believe me, you can tell me."
Li Su did not reply immediately, but first communicated with Goddess Xue Ji in his mind, asking her to help ask Tu Xiaochan and Snow Scale Snake what they thought.
"Xiaochan believes in brother Su." Tu Xiaochan immediately transmitted the message.
"Axue is not afraid. Anyway, Axue only recognizes you as the master." Almost at the same time, the voice of the Snow Scale Snake also sounded in Li Su's mind.
Li Su let out a breath and said, "You should have seen some pictures of me outside."
Zhao Yuding muttered: "I haven't seen you much, but I am sure that you have been staying in the new body of the Dark Blood Phoenix."
"Do you think I can become smaller?" Li Su asked directly.
Zhao Yuding said: "I have guessed this."
"It's not me." Li Su said.
"It's not you?" Zhao Yuding was startled, and then he realized that what Li Su meant by 'not me' was referring to the person who could become bigger and smaller, not Li Su.
Li Su said softly: "I'm not afraid of committing suicide, nor am I reluctant to give up the adventures I got in the Forbidden Land of Gods and Demons. I'm just worried that once I commit suicide, I will be able to leave the Forbidden Land of Gods and Demons, but my friends who came in with me may be passive. Stay here."
"Partner?" Zhao Yuding suddenly asked, "Do you have more than one partner?"
"Ah this..." Li Su was shocked. He had never revealed how many partners he had in front of outsiders.
Zhao Yuding smiled and said: "I guess the first ancient spirit talisman in your body was not broken, but was absorbed by one of your partners."
Li Su was startled, and immediately understood why Zhao Yuding could guess that he had more than one partner.
He grinned, not denying it.
The first ancient talisman was indeed absorbed by his partner, the Goddess Xue Ji.
"If you had only one partner, you wouldn't be so entangled." Zhao Yuding said, "You can commit suicide together and leave the forbidden land of gods and demons.
Only when you have more than one partner will you be entangled and unable to make a decision. "
"There is only one person." Li Su muttered in his heart.
Goddess Xue Ji is a human being, but Tu Xiaochan and Snow Scale Snake are not human beings.
"I just want to ask you one question." Zhao Yuding said softly, "Are you sure that all your partners are trustworthy?"
Li Su touched his chest, closed his eyes, and said slowly: "I believe them from the bottom of my heart."
"Brother Su, Xiaochan will never let you down." Tu Xiaochan's soft voice sounded in Li Su's ears.
"Master, Ashue is willing to do anything for master." The voice of the Snow Scale Snake followed closely.
"What you said is not sincere." Goddess Xue Ji's voice sounded in Li Su's ears.
Li Su opened his eyes and pretended not to hear the voice of the goddess Xue Ji.
"Just believe it." Zhao Yuding said, "I came to see you not to persuade you to commit suicide, but to make you decide something."
"You're not advising me to commit suicide?" Li Su blinked, his heart beating faster, wondering if there was a turning point?
"The situation is very complicated. I'll simply say it, please listen carefully." Zhao Yuding muttered, describing the situation inside and outside the forbidden land of gods and demons.
After a while…
"This is the situation. If you commit suicide, the flesh and blood of the Dark Blood Phoenix you obtain will most likely be the remnant spirit of the Dark Blood Phoenix.
By then, its strength will most likely reach its peak briefly.
I'm not sure whether the current forbidden land of gods and demons can continue to suppress the dark blood phoenix at its peak state. "
"Do you want me to decide, let it go, or do you want me to commit suicide?" Li Su asked in a deep voice.
Zhao Yuding said softly: "What happened this time was probably planned by the painting sage Pei Xuanzi. He is a painting sage, thoughtful and good at layout. There are basically no loopholes in his plan.
If he cannot obtain the remnant spirit of the Dark Blood Phoenix, he will definitely move his spearhead towards you.
Moreover, he also controls Jiang Zuo's life and death. "
"..."
After hearing the end, Li Su's face turned cold.
"Don't have any impulsive thoughts. If you are impulsive now, you will not only kill Jiang Zuo." Zhao Yuding reminded in a deep voice.
Li Su clenched his fists involuntarily and calmed down.
Being impulsive won't solve any problems.
"Is it harmful to let go of the remaining spirit of the Dark Blood Phoenix?" Li Su asked slowly.
"It's hard to say. Since Emperor Qian dares to make a deal with the Dark Blood Phoenix, he must have certain means to control the Dark Blood Phoenix in a semi-disabled state."
As he spoke, Zhao Yuding brushed his beard and said thoughtfully, "Actually, as long as the Dark Blood Phoenix has not returned to its peak state, with the current strength of the human race, there is nothing to fear from it."
Li Su raised his eyebrows slightly, "Are you inclined to take the initiative to let go of the remaining spirit of the Dark Blood Phoenix?"
"Compared to Dark Blood Phoenix, I value you more." Zhao Yuding looked at Li Su, "In addition, if Pei Xuanzi returns without success this time, something may happen to Jiang Zuo."
Li Su frowned and said slowly: "If they keep using Lao Zuo to threaten us, won't we always be at their mercy?"
"This kind of threat can only happen once." Zhao Yuding said, "Both the Painting Saint and the Emperor Qian are smart people and will never break their promises on Jiangzuo, otherwise they will pay a sufficient price. "
