Chapter 599 Offering Fish 35
"Ugh..." Lin Jiu felt her breathing becoming increasingly difficult, as if the whole world was spinning.
Her mind was shrouded in a fog, she was dizzy and unable to think at all.
In this suffocating moment, an inopportune thought flashed through Lin Jiu's mind: Could she really be kissed to death right here? What an embarrassing way to die!
However, just as Lin Jiu's consciousness was fading, Sima Jiao suddenly released her.
Lin Jiu gasped for breath like a fish out of water, greedily inhaling the fresh air around him.
"Sima Jiao!!" Lin Jiu's face flushed red as she glared at Sima Jiao, furious and embarrassed.
However, before Lin Jiu could react, she suddenly realized something.
She turned her head sharply and saw a group of people appear right in front of them. These people were none other than Shi Qianlu, the eight palace masters, and their disciples!
Lin Jiu thought to herself, "They've only just come out of the cave, how come these people have arrived so quickly? The news is spreading way too fast!"
Sima Jiao clearly noticed the arrival of Shi Qianlu and the others. He raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a mocking smile, and said to Shi Qianlu, "Shi Qianlu, you've been keeping a close watch on this place, aren't you? You're afraid that your Sima clansmen being kept here will be discovered, aren't you? Well, it's true, such an important matter does need to be closely guarded!"
As soon as Sima Jiao finished speaking, the eyes of the eight palace masters all fell on Shi Qianlu. Those gazes were like sharp arrows, catching Shi Qianlu off guard.
Regardless of whether Sima Jiao's words were true or false, just looking at the people lying haphazardly on the ground, they were either disciples of the master or ordinary people in tattered clothes.
How could someone being watched over by so many disciples of the Shi family be an ordinary person? It seems highly likely that these people are the Sima clan members that Sima Jiao mentioned, who were imprisoned by Shi Qianlu.
Wow, this is truly unexpected! This Shi Qianlu is actually such a sect leader!
This guy is indeed a hidden character. When the eight palaces drank Sima Jiao's blood together, only Shi Qianlu did not drink it. Everyone thought he was truly honest and kind. Little did they know that he actually had a large blood bank hidden behind him, so naturally he didn't care about those few drops of blood!
At this moment, everyone looked at Shi Qianlu with mixed feelings, including envy, jealousy, and of course, contempt.
After all, everyone followed Shi Qianlu with great joy, hoping that he could lead Gengchen Immortal Mansion to prosperity and strength. But who would have thought that in the end, this old guy would be secretly enjoying the spoils all by himself!
Well, that's great! His stronghold has been wiped out. It's truly gratifying!
Thinking of this, the masters of the eight palaces felt no sympathy whatsoever, but rather their faces were full of mockery and schadenfreude.
Noticing their gazes, Shi Qianlu's face twitched a few times, then she suppressed her anger and forced a smile, saying, "I really don't know what Grandmaster is saying!"
As long as he doesn't admit it, what does it matter if we doubt him? Besides, compared to his raising of the second cluster of spiritual fire, it's okay to expose the matter of Baifeng Mountain. After all, everyone has drunk the blood of the Sima clan, so no one should say anything to anyone else!
On another note, Shi Qianlu breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that Sima Jiao only mentioned these members of the Sima clan. Fortunately, Sima Jiao did not yet know about his cultivation of a second cluster of spiritual fire. However, he still could not suppress his anger towards Sima Jiao, as half of his years of planning had been ruined by Sima Jiao.
