Chapter 597 Offering Fish 33

Although it felt like a dream, after one person after another stood up and moved around freely, everyone came to their senses, and excitement and joy were practically radiating from their faces.

Some clever people quickly stepped forward and solemnly thanked Sima Jiao for helping them remove their chains.

After someone took the lead, others followed suit, stepping forward to express their gratitude to Sima Jiao.

Seeing this, Lin Jiu thought for a moment and then spoke up, "Where are you planning to go next? Perhaps I could..."

However, before she could finish speaking, the middle-aged man at the head of the group interrupted her with a smile: "No, madam, the young master has already granted us our freedom, which is enough for us. Now, we just want to leave this place as soon as possible and see the outside world."

Lin Jiu wanted to say a few more words of persuasion, after all, with a group of people going out like this, and having been imprisoned for many years, life outside probably wouldn't be easy.

But just then, she felt her arm being gently pulled by Sima Jiao.

She turned her head in surprise and saw Sima Jiao shaking his head slightly at her, indicating that she didn't need to say anything more.

Seeing this, Lin Jiu was somewhat puzzled, but he still followed Sima Jiao's advice and did not continue speaking.

She watched silently as these newly freed people, like a pack of released beasts, frantically rushed towards the cave entrance.

However, something unexpected happened.

The people running at the front suddenly stopped abruptly, as if frozen in place by an invisible force, just a few meters from the cave entrance.

Immediately afterwards, they collapsed to the ground without warning, instantly losing their breath, as if their lives had been abruptly taken away at that moment.

This sudden turn of events startled everyone.

But after only a moment of panic, they continued to rush toward the cave entrance without hesitation, seemingly not caring at all about what had happened to the people ahead of them.

Or perhaps they value the freedom they have longed for more than their own lives.

The scene quickly spiraled out of control, with more and more people collapsing and losing their lives while running.

The scene was extremely gruesome, too horrific to bear.

A rope always breaks at its thinnest point, and misfortune always finds those with a hard life!

"Stop! All of you, get back!!"

With a furious shout, the guards left behind by the Shi family finally noticed something was wrong. They rushed to the cave, only to find a scene of utter chaos.

Inside the cave, people were fleeing in panic, creating a chaotic scene.

The leading guard, his face contorted with rage, brandished his longsword and without hesitation slashed down the man who charged at him.

"Go back! Otherwise you will all die!" The guard shouted a warning to the others as he continued his frenzied killing.

However, these people, who had been imprisoned for so long, were now blinded by their desire for freedom. They ignored the guards' warnings and rushed forward recklessly, like moths to a flame, pursuing their heart's desire without hesitation.

Despite the guards' relentless sword-wielding and killing, they could not stop the group's unwavering pursuit of freedom.

One after another, people fell into pools of blood, but those behind them showed no sign of retreating.

Finally, the last person fell down, and this person was the middle-aged man who was the first to thank Sima Jiao.

He lay on the ground, his body trembling slightly, and with his last bit of strength, he stared straight at the sliver of light outside the cave entrance.

In his eyes, that glimmer of light seemed to represent freedom and hope. A slight smile of relief and contentment appeared on his lips.

As the last person fell, the entire cave fell silent, with only blood flowing on the ground, forming a crimson river.

All of this happened so fast, as if in the blink of an eye, that group of people who longed to see the outside world all fell down, their lives taken away in an instant.

“It’s over, everything is over…” one of the guards muttered to himself, his face ashen.

Lin Jiu, unusually, became angry.

Holding a sharp blade, she pierced the body of a guard in front of her, then watched as Sima Jiao released his spiritual fire, instantly burning the remaining surviving guards to ashes.
