Sima Jiao knew early on that Shi Qianlu was not that simple. He had already played against him before, and he realized that Shi Qianlu didn't use all his strength.
Perhaps it was because in the past few times, in addition to the Shi family, there were other palace masters and elders by the side, Shi Qianlu was able to deal with the Sima Clan, and naturally also guarded against the forces of other palaces, so he did not show all his abilities.
And at that time, Sima Jiao didn't step on his bottom line. He still felt that there was a point where he could balance, so he didn't do his best.
But now it's different. The Shi family has been working hard in this barrier for many years. If Sima Jiao went crazy and destroyed, Shi Qianlu would not be able to bear it no matter what.
After he stopped hiding, Sima Jiao was also a little surprised by his current real cultivation. Shi Qianlu is really hidden very deep, and his cultivation base may have reached the Mahayana.
Once the Mahayana has passed, it will fly up when it reaches the calamity. No matter what it is, it is just a death.
Sima Jiao knew why Shi Qianlu, who had always been calm, was so angry, after all, it was for the sake of longevity. Shi Qianlu knew the secret of Ascension and the function of Spirit Fire. He also saw a living example, and of course he also wanted to stay in this world for thousands of years, like Sima Jiao.
The dozen or so people Shi Qianlu brought were all of Shi's lineage, and they were also the people he trusted the most. The two of them fought, and the rest of the family could only avoid it, guarding the barrier by the way, and then looked at the wind and thunderclouds in the sky in awe and fear. It was no longer a fight they could get involved in.
Sima Jiao was better in the end, but he couldn't kill Shi Qianlu all at once, Shi Qianlu was more difficult than he thought. However, Sima Jiao was not in a hurry, and he dealt with him. The battle between the two would spread to the bottom from time to time, impacting the barrier.
Sima Jiao seemed to have the intention to use his attack to attack the enchantment below, while Shi Qianlu did everything possible to move the battle circle to prevent the enchantment from being affected.
The two were at a stalemate for a while.
…
Liao Tingyan returned to Shi Yuxiang's Fenghua City, and she was a little uneasy. Immortal cultivators are restless, which often indicates that things related to themselves will happen.
Could it be that what will happen to Sima Jiao this time? She didn't ask more questions just now, but looking at Sima Jiao's expression, she knew that the place was not simple, and there must be a secret. Those who seek secrets are destined to endure danger.
Liao Tingyan thought again, with a cultivation like Sima Jiao's, the person in this world who can kill him probably hasn't been born yet, so even if he gets hurt a little, he shouldn't have a big problem.
Thinking of this, she felt a little relieved, and sat in front of the jade window carved with flowers and birds, facing the large flowerbed outside. Shi Yuxiang loves flowers and birds, and the palace corridors are surrounded by flowers.
Usually at this time, she would lean here to look at the live mirror, eat some snacks, and look through the book of spells to find two people who are interested in learning one. If she can't, Sima Jiao can ask for help, anyway, there is no him. Will not. At this time, the little black snake will come over and shake its tail, turn some things from her small snack pile and go out to feed the birds. The little black snake likes to keep different pets in one place, especially feeding.
Speaking of which, where did the little black snake go
After she came back, she kept thinking about Sima Jiao, but she didn't notice the little black snake. Although it was playful, its personality was really like a dog. When they came back, the little black snake would always show up and wag its tail with them Greetings.
"Little black?"
"snake?"
Liao Tingyan called twice, feeling wrong. There is a tense atmosphere around, and something is slowly tightening. If she wanted to describe it, she felt that something was pumping the air here, trying to vacuum it up.
She stood on the spot, pinched a pair of Yingluo collars hanging on her chest, thinking, don't panic, maybe it's me being suspicious.
"hiss-"
The silk strings tensed. It was probably the first time in her life that Liao Tingyan reacted so quickly. She swept back and saw the interlaced silk strings in front of her in the reflected light.
Liao Tingyan stopped: "Grass!!!"
The continuous voices sounded not only in front of her, but also behind her and even above her head. Liao Tingyan stood still.
Countless silk threads blocked all her paths. If Sima Jiao was replaced, he would probably be able to tear them off as spider silk with a stretch of his hand, but Liao Tingyan... Well, she felt that if she pulled it, she would be cut into pieces. Lots of chunks - no, there's armor in there, shredded chunks aren't there, but they'll be tied into an egg, presumably.
She twisted her head and looked at the group of people who appeared around. There were more than 100 people, all of them in the posture of a big boss, and they surrounded her in the middle.
Okay, none of her cultivation bases can be seen through, and they are all higher than his cultivation bases. She feels like a poor fifty-level player, standing around in a circle of ninety-level players, which is too miserable. In order to catch her, it took such a big battle
"Only her? Sima Jiao isn't here?"
Liao Tingyan heard someone ask.
"The sect master said that if Sima Jiao can't be caught, he must bring back the Liao Tingyan beside him."
"What's the use of a mere woman."
"I can't say the same. It's naturally useful for Sima Jiao to take the trouble to cover up his existence and bring along the people he protects along the way."
Liao Tingyan: "..." Here we go! Classic hostage plot! Next, she will be tied up and brought in front of Sima Jiao, who will be threatened with his neck and will be captured! If this is the case, she will be relieved. Anyway, as long as she sees her ancestors, she will be fine at all, so she really does not panic at all.
"Take her down first," said an old man with sharp eyes.
When Sima Jiao was not there, facing a virtuous cultivator who had no spirit, what scruples would they have
The silk strings surrounding Liao Tingyan tightened, and she felt that the disguise on her body was brushed off, revealing her original appearance, and two interlaced silk strings twisted towards her arm with a fierce murderous aura.
The one who used the silk string was a female cultivator of the Shi family holding a zither, named Shi Qiandu, the younger sister of Shi Qianlu. She has a high status in the teacher's family, so she naturally knows what Sima Jiao has done.
Not to mention the rest, just slaughtering Baifeng Mountain and ruining their master's plan was enough to make her grit her teeth with hatred. Because Baifengshan's generation was in her hands, but now it has been completely destroyed by Sima Jiao! If you want to build it again, I don't know how much effort and time it will take.
She was sent by Shi Qianlu some time ago to look for Sima Jiao's whereabouts. Unfortunately, Sima Jiao was too vigilant and did not leave a trace. She couldn't find anyone. It was Shi Qianlu who found some clues about the death of Chu Hui. That's how she got here step by step.
Before their boss Ma Jiao, they returned without success, filled in many people in vain, causing anger inside the Gengchen Immortal Mansion to boil. After all, those people didn't know what the master was doing secretly, and they only saw their maintenance on the surface. Sima Jiao.
This time, Shi Qiandu brought people to investigate, and the target, besides Sima Jiao, was the woman named Liao Tingyan beside him.
Although Shi Qiandu didn't believe that people like Sima Jiao would like any woman, but what she found made her believe that Sima Jiao was very kind to this woman. He took this person with him when he escaped several times. The teacher has created the illusion that this person is dead.
Let's look at this woman's cultivation level - this little disciple who has not completed the entry for three years, is now in the vacant stage, and such a step-up cultivation level makes these monks who have been cultivating for thousands of years envious and jealous. Treated like this, even if you don't like it very much, you will care a little bit.
Before she came here, Shi Qianlu had told her that she had to bring Liao Tingyan back. As long as she held this person in her hand, Sima Jiao would be able to think a little more.
Although Shi Qiandu was planning to bring the person back alive, the depression in her heart was really hard to suppress, so at this time, she wanted to cut off Liao Tingyan's arm and let out her anger.
It just so happened that Sima Jiao wasn't there. When he came back, wouldn't it be interesting to see Liao Tingyan's broken arm. At this time, Shi Qiandu didn't know yet. Not long after he set out to Fenghua City, Shi Qianlu was alerted by the movement of Xuehe and confronted Sima Jiao there.
Shi Qianduxin, who was standing here, said, "I can't do anything about Sima Jiao. Can't I play with such a thing?"
Her silk string cut to Liao Tingyan's arm, but stopped a foot away from her, unable to move forward half an inch.
Teacher Qiandu: "!!!"
Liao Tingyan: "…"
Defensive armor, produced by our ancestors, is so awesome.
Shi Qiandu did not believe in evil, and the silk strings moved as he wanted, cutting to Liao Tingyan from all angles, and as expected, tied her into an egg.
Unscathed, Liao Tingyan, who was just unable to move, had already thought about it. Liao, you can do whatever you want, you can arrest me anyway, but you can't hurt me.
Shi Qiandu had to move again, but was stopped by one person. That was an elder from the Palace of Yin. He had a lot of insight on the art of refining. He looked at Liao Tingyan and said, "She has a defensive fairy on her body, you can't break it, don't waste time here, bring people first. go back."
Only then did Shi Qiandu pull his face and put down his hand, and waved his sleeves to grab the person beside him.
"I'm going to take someone back to report to my brother. Do you want to leave first, or stay here and wait for that Sima Jiao to come back and take him down in one fell swoop?" Shi Qiandu asked.
Asking this question, many people secretly pouted in their hearts, taking people down in one fell swoop? If they can really win, as for the repeated loss of troops and generals, if it is not a matter of life and death, every palace must come to deal with this matter, and I don’t know how many people are unwilling to come.
"I'll wait and go back together. If Sima Jiao returns here and finds that this person has been arrested, he will definitely be named the main peak of Taixuan with his temper. I might as well prepare first." One person said.
The rest of the people nodded, "Exactly, we should set up a killing formation, and use this woman as bait to lead him forward."
"This time, we will gather elite disciples to cast a net of heaven and earth on Taixuan Peak. Sima Jiao should still be injured, and we will definitely succeed."
"Even if it's the master, he can't let this indiscriminate killing of innocent people cause chaos in the Immortal Mansion again and again. It's time to make a decision."
Everyone spoke in awe of the need to quickly gather the disciples and prepare to use crowd tactics. Each of them had a solemn expression, and many people showed concern and fear.
Liao Tingyan felt strange when he saw the mood of the crowd through the gaps in the thread. It may be that justice is about to defeat evil, and she cannot feel the heavy heart of darkness before dawn, as a villain.
She is a hostage now, and others can't do anything about her, so they don't bother to pay attention to her, so she keeps silent, thinking about what to do.
Seriously, this is beyond her ability to break through and escape under this kind of siege? In this world, Sima Jiao is probably the only one who can do it.
If she doesn't escape... The only thing she cares about now is that Sima Jiao told her not to stay in the central part of the inner palace before she came back, there must be some danger there.
But she really can't help it, she can't even send a message now. I can only pray that my ancestors didn't get too angry when they found out that she was caught.
