Chapter 600 Offering Fish 36

Shi Qianlu suddenly made a complete 180-degree turn, actually blaming the victim. Looking at the corpses scattered on the ground with a face full of pity, he said to his grandmaster with great sorrow, "Grandmaster, you have just been released from the Three Sacred Mountains and know nothing about the outside world! How could you be so reckless and cruel to these innocent lives? This... this is really inappropriate!"

Upon hearing Shi Qianlu's words, Lin Jiu gained an even deeper understanding of him. This man's ability to distort the truth was truly astonishing!

As Shi Qianlu spoke, she couldn't help but glance at Sima Jiao out of the corner of her eye, a hint of sarcasm and smugness flashing in her eyes.

Then he continued, "Grandmaster, we really don't want to offend you, but please be merciful and go back to White Deer Cliff to cultivate your character!"

Before he finished speaking, Shi Qianlu suddenly raised his right hand, and the long sword in his hand trembled slightly, as if he was showing off to Sima Jiao.

Upon seeing this, the eight palace masters standing beside him exchanged glances, and then, as if by unspoken agreement, simultaneously pointed their longswords at Sima Jiao.

Although these palace masters deeply despised Shi Qianlu's hypocritical behavior, they were also well aware that at this moment, the greatest threat came from Sima Jiao.

Therefore, despite the various contradictions and disagreements that may exist among them, when faced with a common enemy, they could only temporarily put aside their prejudices and unite to fight against Sima Jiao.

Upon seeing this, Sima Jiao couldn't help but let out a cold smile.

He had long expected these people to be so hypocritical, but what surprised him was that they actually had a little self-awareness and knew to unite against him.

Before he could even activate his spiritual fire, a force suddenly pulled him sharply, dragging his body involuntarily behind Lin Jiu.

Sima Jiao stared blankly at Lin Jiu's slender yet exceptionally flexible back, momentarily lost in thought.

"Don't do it, let me handle it!" Lin Jiu's voice was clear and firm. She stopped Sima Jiao, who was about to make a move, without hesitation, and glared at him fiercely.

Then, she pulled hard, dragging Sima Jiao behind her and blocking him.

Sima Jiao was somewhat bewildered by Lin Jiu's series of actions and didn't know how to react.

Meanwhile, Shi Qianlu and the eight palace masters all wore contemptuous smiles upon seeing this scene.

They didn't take Lin Jiu seriously at all, and even secretly mocked Sima Jiao, thinking that he must have been seriously injured, so much so that he needed a female disciple to protect him.

However, one person in this group sensed something was amiss.

This person was the newly appointed Palace Master of the Yin Palace, Ye Ruling. She had met Lin Jiu before, and for some reason, she had a vague intuition that Lin Jiu's strength was definitely no weaker than Sima Jiao's.

This intuition sounded absurd and ridiculous, but she did feel that Lin Jiu was extraordinary and his strength should not be underestimated.

However, Ye Ruling did not voice her intuition.

Because she knew very well that with the arrogance and conceit of Shi Qianlu and the others, they would never believe that a young Lin Jiu could have cultivation comparable to Sima Jiao.

After all, these people have been in a position of power for too long, so how could they easily believe such a fact?

For safety reasons, Ye Ruling quietly retreated behind the group. As she retreated, she noticed someone else retreating beside her. Turning her head, she saw that it was the Palace Master of the Four Seasons Palace. Ye Ruling remained silent.
