Chapter 594 Offering Fish 30

Indeed, when Master Yan recognized Sima Jiao's true identity, he was filled with awe and fear, to the point that he dared not hide anything from Sima Jiao at all.

He recounted with trepidation the various misfortunes and hardships his people had suffered over the years, his face growing paler with each word, as if he had aged considerably in an instant.

Upon hearing what Master Yan said, Lin Jiu, who was standing to the side, felt her anger and disgust grow even stronger.

She never expected that the mastermind behind it all was actually a member of the Shi family, which made her view of Shi Qianlu and the so-called immortal sects even worse.

When she heard about the tragic fate of the Sima clan, she couldn't help but feel endless sympathy.

These innocent people were treated like "Tang Monk's flesh," becoming victims of others' greed and selfishness.

Compared to those fairies who only crave momentary pleasure, humans' methods are clearly far more terrifying.

The fairies may have only been satisfying their momentary desires, but humans devised a way to sustain this tragedy from generation to generation, without end.

For the Sima clan, who were seen as "Tang Monk's flesh," this was undoubtedly an extremely cruel nightmare.

They could not escape this fate of exploitation and oppression, and could only silently endure endless suffering.

This is what it means to be afraid of villains who are not bad, but villains who have brains.

Fortunately, thanks to Master Yan's cooperation (after all, his only son Yan Huan was under threat), Sima Jiao and Lin Jiu's subsequent actions went exceptionally smoothly.

They finally met the celestial messenger who had taken away the children with the flame-shaped birthmarks, bringing them one step closer to uncovering the truth.

Upon first glance at the so-called celestial envoy, Lin Jiu couldn't help but feel a strong sense of speechlessness.

This so-called immortal envoy was actually just a minor Foundation Establishment cultivator who had not yet reached the Golden Core stage!

It's unbelievable that someone with such a low level of cultivation would dare to be so arrogant and domineering.

Lin Jiu couldn't help but wonder to himself whether this was because the Shi family was so powerful, or because the people of the Eight Palaces were too stupid.

It's incredible that they were completely unaware of the Shi family's actions over the years.

Using the pretext of grooming his son to inherit and take over the Yan family mansion, Master Yan successfully led Sima Jiaolinjiu and the celestial messenger to their destination.

The reason for this is probably only known to Master Yan and Sima Jiao Linjiu, since the only remaining pillar of the Yan family is Yan Huan, who is still in Sima Jiao's hands.

……

"We're here, this is it. Just follow that person uphill. I... I won't go..." Master Yan's voice trembled slightly, his gaze fixed on the winding path ahead, as if it were a road leading to hell.

Upon hearing Master Yan's words, Sima Jiao turned around and gave him a deep look.

Master Yan trembled at his gaze and quickly lowered his head, not daring to meet his eyes.

Sima Jiao saw this but didn't say anything. He turned his head and continued to follow the person leading the way upstairs. He neither agreed nor refused, seemingly acquiescing to Master Yan's words.

Seeing the relieved look on Master Yan's face, Lin Jiu couldn't help but smile and said softly, "Alright, you should leave now!"

Upon hearing this, Master Yan was overjoyed and thanked him repeatedly, completely forgetting that he had been threatened into coming here.

He turned and left in a hurry, as if something terrible was chasing him.

The mountain is located in a remote and sparsely populated area.
