Chapter 595 Offering Fish 31

The further in you go, the more remote the road becomes. Unlike the remoteness of the terrain, the guards here are exceptionally strict.

Almost every few meters you walk, you'll encounter guards on patrol.

Sima Jiao and Lin Jiu exchanged a glance, both understanding that they had found the right place.

Even if this place has nothing to do with the Sima family, such tight security must be hiding a huge secret.

The two of them were extremely enthusiastic about uncovering Shi Qianlu's secret.

A glint of eager anticipation flashed in Lin Jiu's eyes, as if he couldn't wait to expose Shi Laodeng's conspiracy, and he was extremely excited.

Sima Jiao noticed Lin Jiu's reaction, and a smile flashed in his eyes.

However, when he thought of the purpose of his visit and the imprisoned members of the Sima clan, the smile vanished instantly, replaced by a gloomy and deathly silence.

Although Lin Jiu felt they hadn't walked for long, in reality, they didn't seem to be that close to their destination.

In the blink of an eye, they had arrived outside a cave.

"Halt! Unauthorized personnel are not permitted to enter!"

The two had barely stopped when they were blocked by the guards at the entrance, who looked like fierce demons.

Just then, a piercing scream suddenly came from inside the cave, followed by a series of mournful cries that were heartbreaking to hear.

Everyone present was a cultivator, and their hearing was naturally far superior to that of ordinary people. These shrill screams, like the cries of night owls, echoed clearly in everyone's ears.

However, the gatekeeper acted as if he hadn't heard anything, showing no reaction whatsoever, not even lifting his eyelids.

No, perhaps it should be said that he had long since become accustomed to and numb to such screams.

Sima Jiao felt the blood connection between him and the cave strengthen, his brows furrowed slightly, and a hint of anger flashed in his eyes.

He suddenly flicked his sleeve, and a powerful force swept out like a whirlwind, striking the gatekeeper directly.

With a muffled thud, the gatekeeper was sent flying like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily to the ground and instantly losing consciousness.

This series of actions flowed smoothly, revealing Sima Jiao's ruthlessness and decisiveness, making one exclaim, "What a ruthless and taciturn man! He's truly efficient when he takes action!"

After the obstacle was knocked away, Sima Jiao and Lin Jiu were able to enter the cave smoothly.

However, as soon as they stepped into the cave, an indescribable stench assaulted their nostrils, a smell that was both putrid and bloody, making them want to vomit.

As they ventured deeper into the cave, the strange smell grew stronger, as if countless breaths of death permeated the air.

The cave was dimly lit, almost pitch black. Lin Jiu looked closely and realized that the only glimmer of light came from… the Sun and Moon Ghost Bloom!

Inside the cave, patches of sun and moon shimmered like ghosts, emitting a faint glow.

There were far more of these Sun and Moon Ephemeral Blossoms than at White Deer Cliff. Lin Jiu's expression changed drastically. She wondered to herself, just how many members of the Sima clan had died here!

Thinking of this, Lin Jiu's heart tightened, and she stared at Sima Jiao with a worried expression.

Normally, Sima Jiao always gives people the impression of being detached from worldly affairs and indifferent to everything, but Lin Jiu knows that beneath his cold exterior lies his deep care for his family.

Although Sima Jiao's face remained expressionless, like an iceberg, Lin Jiu could keenly sense the repression and anger within him.

That emotion seemed to be suppressed deep within him; although it did not erupt openly, it created a suffocating atmosphere around him.

After continuing their journey, the two finally met the other people.

However, when Lin Jiu saw what these people looked like, she couldn't help but frown.
