Chapter 723: Sudden changes, Shijian’s despair
Dali Village.
This is a small town outside Jixia City where many mortals live.
In the heavenly realm, the human realm and below are all mortal realms.
Only by transcending the human realm and entering the ranks of the earth realm can we get rid of the title of 'mortal'.
Therefore, even a powerful man like Emperor Xuanhuo who rules a large area is actually still just a mortal in the eyes of the truly powerful men in the heaven.
After leaving the cave, the green-robed swordsman flew all the way with his sword and arrived here.
Pretending to be a traveler, she found a restaurant to stay, and then began to inquire about the news in Shaoyang City.
Shi Jian was originally the daughter of an ordinary family. Only because of her talent in cultivation, she was selected into the City Lord's Mansion as Yu Ling's maid.
After years of training in the city lord's mansion, and later studying in the Shaoyang Academy with Yu Ling, he had seen a bit of the world.
Now when I go out alone to do things, I have a certain order of things.
In one day, she traveled to many places and even went to nearby towns to inquire. Soon she got the news that "there is no war in Shaoyang City".
Although Shi Jian was a little surprised, it was good news that nothing happened in Shaoyang City.
Overjoyed, he bought some daily necessities in Dali Village, then hurriedly wielded his sword and returned to the cave where Yu Ling was.
The gravity of the heaven is many times stronger than that of the lower world. The existence of Dharma Realm can only barely fly with a sword, and the speed is not very fast.
As Yu Jian walked through the mountains, Shi Jian suddenly felt an extremely powerful force acting on him.
In an instant, the gravity around him seemed to have increased dozens of times. The sword was unstable and he fell directly from the spiritual sword.
Fortunately, she was quite smart. She turned around in the air, released the magic domain to slow down her fall, held the ground with one hand, and shot out a stream of true energy downwards, followed by a silky 'kité turn', landing as light as a feather. on the ground.
"who is it?"
The sword attendant held a long sword and looked around, but could not sense any movement.
"Jie Jie!"
"As expected of Shaoyang City, even a maid in the city lord's palace has such skills. It's really amazing."
A gloomy voice suddenly echoed among the mountains.
Shi Jian suppressed the panic in his heart, circulated his true energy to penetrate the long sword, and was ready for a fight.
Suddenly, a red stream of light flashed in front of him and grabbed her throat.
"Unfortunately, you are still too weak."
The red figure slapped the green sword out of the sword attendant's hand, and a teasing smile appeared on his lips.
"Tell me, where is your lady?"
"Speak out, and I will spare your life."
The man threw her to the ground.
The terrifying pressure fell on Shijian in an instant, making her unable to move.
Threads of law power entered the body through the skin and turned into red chains, tying the sword directly to the ground.
Shi Jian's mouth was bleeding and his face was pale.
"You, who are you?"
"What do you want to do to my lady?"
"Jiejie, who am I?"
"A guy like you doesn't deserve to know."
But the face of the red figure was shrouded in a red mist, making it impossible to see clearly.
However, Shi Jian heard a hint of pampering and arrogance in his voice.
This kind of temperament can only be found in those domineering second-generation ancestors, and it is difficult to see it in other people.
As a maid, Shi Jian is very familiar with this temperament.
"How on earth did you find me?"
Shi Jian said again.
Zhong Changsheng flew all the way at an extremely fast speed, and ordinary people's consciousness could not track them at all.
Moreover, Zhong Changsheng had previously given them a talisman to hide their whereabouts. As long as the talisman was activated, ordinary people would not be aware of their existence at all.
However, at this time, she was targeted.
Shi Jian can be sure that when he inquired about the information in Dali Village, he did not reveal any flaws.
That is to say, the reason why I was targeted by the young master in front of me was because of other reasons.
"hehe!"
The man in red clothes smiled jokingly.
"This is all thanks to your damn old lover!"
"I asked him to leave something on you for easy tracking, so the guy obeyed."
He originally thought that relying on that thing, he could control Xu Yuling's position at all times, but little did he know, it laid the groundwork for me to catch you today.
After hearing what he said, Shi Jian's face suddenly turned pale.
As the other party said, she does have a secret lover.
That lover was none other than Zhao Xuansu, the son of the Zhao family.
As early as more than ten years ago, when the master and servant passed the examination and entered the palace, Zhao Xuansu quietly captured her.
As the son of the Zhao family, Zhao Xuansu was extremely talented in martial arts and had a handsome appearance. Shi Jian had been in love with him for a long time.
It's just that due to my status, I have never dared to think about anything.
Later, Zhao Xuansu took the initiative to show his goodwill, and the two naturally worked hard and it was a matter of course.
Precisely because of Shi Jian's secret communication with Zhao Xuansu, Zhao Xuansu, the young master of the Zhao family, could always grasp the preferences and trends of Yu Ling, the daughter of the city lord's palace.
As a lowly maid, she certainly knew that Zhao Xuansu did this just to get close to her own lady.
However, out of her admiration for Zhao Xuansu, she still did some things that Yu Ling didn't know about.
However, she has never done anything to hurt Yu Ling.
At this moment, she remembered that on that day, when the two had a private meeting in the academy, the thing that Zhao Xuansu gave to her in the emotional place actually had the function of positioning and tracking.
For a moment, Shi Jian felt extremely sad and angry.
Not knowing where she got the strength, she tore off the string of fragrant beads from her wrist and threw them to the ground.
She stared fiercely at the man in red clothes, as if she wanted to eat him alive.
"rat!"
"Jie Jie!"
"Thank you for the compliment!"
That Chiyi didn't show any anger at all, but instead spoke jokingly.
"If we talk about despicable people, the one you love, Zhao Xuansu, is the real despicable person."
"Look at you, what a beautiful face you have. It's really not worth it to die for a heartless man."
"How about this, you tell me the whereabouts of your young lady, and I will let you go."
"If you are worried that I will break my promise and get fat, I can make an oath of heaven!"
It didn't matter whether she was a maid in the city lord's palace, whether she was alive or dead, so he naturally didn't care if she swore an oath or something.
As long as she lives, she won't be able to stir up any trouble.
"hehe."
Shi Jian sneered.
"You want to arrest my young lady and threaten the city lord?"
"you are dreaming!"
"Kill me if you dare. I just want to go downstairs to settle the score with that bastard Zhao Xuansu!"
