I, the ninth grade county magistrate, scare the empress to tears at the beginning!

Shen Shiyu could never have imagined that her father's first words after being rescued were to urgently urge her to run away.

"Dad, my daughter finally found you, I will take you with me." Shen Shiyu held her father's old hand and felt a sadness in her heart.

During the days of being imprisoned, Shen Wuya suffered an unknown amount of abuse. His body was covered in bloodstains and scars from being whipped with whips, and the bones of his left knee were exposed.

What made her most angry was that her father lost one of his arms in the last battle with the Tang Clan, and the Nether Sect's people actually disabled his other arm. For a swordsman, losing his arms means that he can no longer use the sword. By doing this, the Nether Cult obviously wants to break his father's foundation of swordsmanship.

"Father, tell your daughter who did it? Your cultivation has been ruined, and your other arm has been ruined. My daughter will take revenge!" Shen Shiyu, who had always been dignified and elegant, was filled with anger at this moment. She must personally kill the murderer who tortured her father.

An elixir brought Shen Wuya back from the brink of death. However, his body functions had already collapsed and his spiritual fire was crumbling. Even if he regained a trace of consciousness at this moment, after saying the words "Daughter, run", he faced When Shen Shiyu asked, she no longer had the energy to spit out any words, but her face was full of anxiety.

"Father, why is there a blood line on your body?" Shen Shiyu noticed at this moment that there was a faint red thread on Shen Wuya's cervical spine. The other end of the red line extends to the gray fog not far away. The red blood line was almost transparent. When she found her father for the first time, she didn't even see it.

Shen Wuya was too weak to speak. Fortunately, his eyes could still move and he turned to the side.

"Father, do you want me to go and take a look?" After understanding what Shen Wuya meant, Shen Shiyu looked to the side.

Although the gray fog dimmed her vision, she still saw many people lying on the ground. Those people were all emaciated and tortured, and their condition was no better than that of her father, Shen Wuya. But these people have one characteristic, they are not dead, they are still alive.

In addition, everyone is the same as his father, with a strange blood line connecting his cervical vertebrae. That blood line all points to the depths of the gray mist. Ever since she stepped into the depths of the cave, Shen Shiyu's perception ability has been suppressed. At this time, she was unable to sense what was behind the gray mist. Instead, she could vaguely see a dark statue through her naked eyes.

"The statue of the Lord of the Netherworld?" Shen Shiyu had a rough guess in her mind. Judging from the vague outline of the statue, she basically concluded that it was a statue of the Netherworld Leader.

Every household in Youzhou will offer a statue of the leader of the Netherworld to pray for peace and good luck. The cave deep inside the Shura Hall is itself the headquarters of the Nether Sect, so it is normal for a statue to be enshrined there.

The only abnormal thing is that the invisible red line extending from the statue connects everyone here. It is very weird and unpredictable.

"Taoist Xiaoyao?" At this time, Shen Shiyu discovered that an old man lying not far away, wearing a yellow and white Taoist robe, turned out to be the owner of Xiaoyao Valley.

Xiaoyao Valley does not belong to the top sects like the five major sects, but it can be regarded as an upper-middle-class existence in the world. It is stronger than the Xingyue Palace where the fifth lady Murong Jiu is. The master of Xingyue Palace, Su Yue Zhenren, is in the middle stage of the Grand Master, while Taoist Xiaoyao is in the late stage of the Grand Master, which is enough to suppress Su Yue Zhenren by a small level.

Shen Shiyu had a relationship with Taoist Xiaoyao. About ten years ago, in order to fulfill his life goal of "traveling all the great rivers and mountains of the Great Zhou Dynasty", Taoist Xiaoyao traveled far and wide and happened to pass by Cangyun County, so he stayed for a few days. During this period, Taoist Xiaoyao was shocked by the prosperity of Cangyun County, so he made a special trip to visit Lu Yuan. At that time, Lu Yuan was unknown in the world, and there was no news about him from the outside world. Therefore, when Taoist Xiaoyao met Lu Yuan for the first time, he felt quite condescending.

But when he found out that Lu Yuan was a county magistrate who had reached the perfect state of a great master, he was dumbfounded in surprise. He cursed the late emperor three times as a "foolish king" and threatened to go to the imperial capital immediately to recommend Lu Yuan to the late emperor in person.

Lu Yuan declined at that time, and the reason was that "no prince, general or minister could live more comfortably than the Cangyun County Magistrate." After hearing this, Xiaoyao Sanren immediately admired Lu Yuan.

At that time when the two met, Shen Shiyu happened to bet with several other ladies and won the opportunity to accompany Lu Yuan alone, and she met Xiaoyao Taoist.

At this moment, Taoist Taoist Xiaoyao was unconscious and his symptoms were exactly the same as his father's. It's a pity that she doesn't have any extra elixir on her body, otherwise she would have to revive Xiaoyao Sanren on the spot.

"That person next to you is... the master of Wangxinzhai, Master Kuxin?" Shen Shiyu recognized someone she was relatively familiar with among those people.

And she knew Mrs. Huxin actually from the portrait provided by Gu Changfeng. Not only her, but also several other ladies have seen the portrait of Master Huxin. As for the reason, it is actually difficult to disclose it, at least in front of outsiders and in front of her husband Lu Yuan, it is absolutely inconvenient to reveal it.

All because of this painstaking master's wife, who is extremely beautiful and is the top-ranked beauty outside the top ten beauties list released by Tianji Pavilion. In addition to not being as good as the top ten beauties in appearance, her level was higher than that of the top ten beauties at that time, and she was a supreme master in the middle stage of a grand master.

At that time, their wives were worried that Lu Yuan would take concubines, so they asked Gu Changfeng to secretly investigate the personal circumstances of beautiful women who were not on the top ten beauties list. In the end, one of the stunning women who pose the greatest threat to their eight wives was selected, and this was Master Wuxin.

"The ones on the left are from the Qiyue Sect. The ones on the right are from the Tang Sect of Shu, that one is from the Lihuo Sect, and the one at the farthest end is from the Wuliang Sect..." Shen Shiyu looked around The surrounding situation, and the clothes of those people, judged their identities. "Judging from the muscles and bones of these people, the lowest level is the ninth grade of Grand Master, and the highest level is the late Grand Grand Master."

Previously, there were many rumors in the world that a large number of martial arts masters disappeared mysteriously, and it turned out that they were all captured at the Nether Sect headquarters. The Taibai Sword Sect also deliberately spread rumors, saying that Lu Yuan kidnapped these masters in order to practice magic skills. Judging from the current situation, the Taibai Sword Sect may have known the truth for a long time, and may even be an accomplice of the Nether Sect.

"Why are my father, the Nether Sect general, and so many martial arts masters imprisoned here?" Shen Shiyu was puzzled.

Suddenly, she pulled out her sword and placed it on guard against her chest.

It turned out that at that moment, she saw the statue of the Netherworld Leader in the hazy gray mist in the distance, and he actually took a step forward towards her! (End of chapter)
