If I had known I wouldn't have saved you!

Chapter 230 The Arrangement of Things

Seeing that Lin Shiyi and Li Jiuxian were both gritting their teeth, Long Tianyou immediately hooked his finger and tightened the red line again. Lu Qingyao screamed in pain and tears flowed down her face.

Lin Shiyi wanted to hold her back, but seeing how painful it was for her to be pulled by the red line, he couldn't help but let go and watched her being pulled towards Long Tianyou.

Seeing Lu Qingyao being pulled in front of him, Long Tianyou raised the Heart Demon Mirror and took her in.

"That's right. Since this Qiankun Line can transfer immortal power to the host, it is naturally connected to the Qi Sea. After eating the Qiankun Pill condensed from my blood, she will become my puppet. As long as I want, I can suck her Qi Sea dry or detonate it..."

Lin Shiyi clenched his fists and said, "She is your eldest brother's daughter. Are you going to kill her? You have already destroyed her family and her brother. What else do you want?"

Long Tianyou laughed solemnly and said, "I don't take the Lu family's juniors seriously. I didn't intend to deal with her siblings. It's just that Qingyao was so smart that she stole the Qiankun Pill, so I controlled her. This is an unprovoked disaster... So, do you still want to fight?"

Hearing such arrogant words, Lin Shiyi and Li Jiuxian were extremely angry, but they were afraid to use force. Lu Qingyao was in Long Tianyou's hands, and even if she was rescued, she could not escape the control of Qiankun Gong. This made both of them a little impatient.

"It's better not to fight..."

Long Tianyou waved his sleeves, and the Heart Demon Mirror was put into his sleeves. Then he said calmly: "Danxian, I know you are very unwilling. Let me give you a chance. Three months later, you can bring your relatives to the Divine Palace. Then we can fight it out thoroughly. Of course, if you don't come, then these people..."

As he spoke, he stretched out his finger and lightly tapped. A ball of energy light curtain appeared in the starry sky. In the image on the light curtain, three people were tied to a towering black iron pillar, and below them was a group of black pythons. Those pythons opened their bloody mouths as if they were going to devour someone, but because of the barrier, they couldn't bite the three people no matter what.

"Senior Sister Zuo Lian...Xiao Yu...Lu Lingxi?"

After Lin Shiyi saw the three people clearly, he was surprised but also relieved.

At least they were safe for now.

Long Tianyou laughed and said, "These red-refined sky-swallowing pythons are almost eating me out of money. If you don't kill them, I will have to use these as their food. Oh, Qingyao seems to be most afraid of snakes, you must come to save her on time..."

After he finished speaking, a colorful cloud appeared in the sky. Long Tianyou moved and flew away on the cloud at an astonishing speed.

Lin Shiyi and Li Jiuxian looked at the colorful clouds going away, both with different expressions.

"Long Tianyou is such a cruel beast, he is so cruel to the youngsters..."

Li Jiuxian couldn't help but spit. Feeling annoyed, he picked up the wine gourd and drank non-stop.

Lin Shiyi was in a state of confusion and didn't know how to break the impasse.

Zuo Lian gave Long Tianyou the martial arts on his orders. He practiced Qiankun Gong and Yunxing Sword Technique. At present, Long Tianyou cannot control him because of this, but Gu Roushuang, Ji Hanxi, Qing Li Qingyi, Shen Lingyue and others have also practiced different divine palace martial arts. Will they be in danger then?

Or maybe Long Tianyou already knew that these genius women had such powerful abilities, so he wanted them to work for the Temple of God?

So, does that mean Long Tianyou just wants him to surrender with his companions?

It can't be that simple...

After thinking for a long time, Lin Shiyi took out the Bitian Compass and made some calculations.

The hexagram of the east is Kan, which is a sign of great misfortune.

But if you fight to the death, there may be a glimmer of hope.

"Senior Jiuxian, we have entered into a dispute with the Divine Palace this time. In three months, you may never come back. You'd better not get involved in this mess."

Lin Shiyi couldn't help but sigh.

Li Jiuxian put down his wine gourd and said unhappily, "What are you talking about? Little Lu is the daughter of my good friend. I have to save her for both emotional and logical reasons. You can't die either. Otherwise, who will brew the immortal wine for me?"

Seeing that he was unwilling to leave, Lin Shiyi could only nod and say, "Okay, let's go back now without further delay. We need to make some preparations quickly while we still have time."

Li Jiuxian nodded, and followed Lin Shiyi to fly towards the formation of the Demon Refining Palace.

Upon learning that Lu Qingyao had been captured, the monks of the Demon Refining Palace were filled with indignation and clamored to go to the Divine Palace to rescue her.

"This is the day we've been waiting for! Damn it, we have to teach the Shrine a lesson!"

"You dare to arrest our Palace Master! Long Tianyou is tired of living!"

"That's right! He dares to snatch the woman from our Senior Brother Lin, beat him up!"

Lin Shiyi calmed down the excited crowd, and Si Yunlan also brought people over from the Jade Maiden Pavilion, ready to discuss the next plan together.

At this time, the cultivators who had come up from the lower world to survive the thunder tribulation had also consolidated their cultivation. They left the God Repository and gathered outside the main hall of the Demon Refining Palace.

Among the human race there are Fairy Yaoguang, Old Man Chiyan, Ouyang Xuan, Fairy Yuehua, Huo Lingzi, Master Yuantong, as well as Gu Roushuang, Ji Hanxi, Shen Lingyue, and Chu Qingli.

Among the monster clan there are Chen Yiju, Heizhu, Chaoyin Holy Mother, Huiling, and several powerful transformed monsters.

They are all cultivators in the early stage of the Spiritual Transformation Stage now, but those who came from the lower realm are after all stronger than the local cultivators who were born with immortal bodies.

Now, three teams of cultivators, one team from the Demon Refining Palace, one team from the Jade Maiden Pavilion, and one team from the lower realm, gathered outside the main hall, waiting for Lin to come to their rescue at eleven o'clock.

After the inspection, Lin Shiyi informed everyone about the three-month deadline, and took out most of the Yuan Crystals in the treasuries of the two factions and distributed them to everyone one by one, asking everyone to do their best to improve their cultivation.

In addition, Si Yunlan also advocated that many cultivators go to the Jade Maiden Pavilion's bathing tower to soak in the divine water. After Lin Shiyi asked in detail, he found out that the Goddess's bathing tower was not just used for bathing, but also had the function of improving cultivation and aptitude.

But even though she asked, the fairies in the Jade Maiden Pavilion refused to bathe in the same pool of water with the men. Si Yunlan thought that men and women should not have physical contact with each other, so she ordered people to separate half of the divine water. Lin Shiyi also ordered people to build a bathing tower in the Demon Refining Palace, and put half of the divine water in the tower for the male cultivators to soak in and improve their cultivation.

Afterwards, Lin Shiyi handed over all the treasures and various crystals in the treasuries of the two factions to Chu Qingyi, and asked her to forge magic weapons for use in the war.

After resolving all of this, Lin Shiyi also prepared to go into seclusion, wanting to see if he could break through to the peak of the late stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm. After all, if he wanted to fight against Long Tianyou, his cultivation level had to improve.

Si Yunlan was also generous and directly gave a piece of high-level Yuan Crystal from the Jade Maiden Pavilion to Lin Shiyi to help him practice.

The immortal power contained in a high-level Yuan Crystal is naturally not comparable to that of a mid-level one. Just a small piece is enough for a late-stage Spirit Transformation cultivator to use for ten years. With this high-level Yuan Crystal, Lin Shiyi's confidence increased greatly. He practiced the Qiankun Gong, and when absorbed, the immortal power would be transmitted to the cultivator who took the Qiankun Pill, so the speed of absorbing vital energy was much faster than that of ordinary cultivators.

After letting Si Yunlan and Li Jiuxian manage the two factions, Lin Shiyi began to retreat.
