Seeing her hesitation, Gu Tiancai's eyes narrowed and he quickly warned, "This person is despicable, treacherous, shameless, and his words cannot be trusted..."
"Why?"
Before he could finish speaking, Ilia suddenly raised her head and stared at Si Miaochang, "Why do you want to entrust your people to me? Is it because I am Si Yuanyuan's daughter?"
"Just releasing the soul pressure can make Si Mou unable to move."
Si Miaochang replied without changing his expression, "If I guess correctly, Your Majesty already has the Soul Realm cultivation level?"
I don't know if it was because of her request, but the dignified head of the Si family actually addressed his granddaughter as "Your Majesty" and his attitude was indescribably respectful.
"So what?" Illya asked calmly.
"There was once an ancestor of our clan who was proficient in the art of divination. In order to break the curse of the Shouyuan clan, he did a fortune-telling at the cost of two hundred years of life."
With respect and piety on his face, Si Miaochang replied in a deep voice, "He left a prophecy before his death. If a clan member can advance to Chaos, the longevity limit of the Shou Yuan clan may be broken. Before that, all
Everyone thinks his words are nonsense. With such a short lifespan, how can a genius, no matter how powerful he is, be able to achieve chaos? But now it seems that we are short-sighted, a man in his twenties.
In the soul state, the blood of our clan is still flowing in the body, isn't it the person who made the prophecy?"
Illya just looked at him, sneered again and again, and said nothing.
"Of course Si knows that making such a request is too shameless."
Si Miaochang looked at her face, suddenly reached into his arms, took out a thin book, and handed it over slowly, "But the Si family is poor and doesn't have much to offer. This book "The Secret of Burning Longevity"
This is a secret technique that only the leader of our clan can practice, so please accept it with your Majesty’s approval.”
"Burning Life Technique?"
Illya's heart moved, she reached out to take the booklet and started reading it casually.
"This, this is...!"
As she turned the pages, a look of shock suddenly appeared on her face, and the delicate white jade hand holding the book trembled slightly, as if she had discovered something incredible.
This life-burning technique is actually a secret method of obtaining wish power by burning longevity energy, thereby realizing wishes.
"Perhaps Your Majesty has also heard that the Shouyuan clan can know in advance how long they will live in this life, as well as the ultimate achievements they can achieve, and can redeem future achievements in advance by paying double their life span."
Si Miaochang explained patiently and unhurriedly, "I don't know that our clan also has a secret method that can realize the wish in the heart at the cost of burning life span. Just now, Si was able to barely break free from the pressure of your soul, relying on it.
This is the secret to burning longevity."
"Wish fulfillment? Is there such a magic in the world?"
Before Illya could answer, Gu Tiancai on the side was already amazed and said, "If you burn enough life energy, wouldn't you be invincible in the world?"
"Having said that."
Si Miaochang smiled bitterly and said, "However, this technique can only be performed by members of the Shouyuan clan. Most of the people in our clan have very limited lifespans, and their cultivation levels are generally low. Even if they burn themselves to death, they may not be able to compete with the powerful saints."
How can you say you are invincible when you compete? However, the lifespan of the Soul Realm depends on the soul. Judging from the soul pressure displayed by His Majesty just now, this Life-Burning Technique can only play its true role in your hands.
"Staying in the Si family is really a secret act and a waste of natural resources."
"You want me to forgive you for what you did with just a useless secret technique?"
Illya stared at the book in her hand for a long time, then suddenly raised her head to look at him, her beautiful eyes sparkling, and her voice was extremely cold, "You are daydreaming."
"I?"
Si Miaochang waved his hand and said, "The Si family has fallen into such a situation. As the head of the family, I cannot absolve myself of the blame. How dare I ask for your Majesty's forgiveness? I only hope that for the sake of Yuanyuan, you can give it to those who have suffered the same fate as her."
It’s a way for the tribesmen to survive.”
"I will take all women and children under ten years old with me when I leave."
Illya's face softened slightly, and a trace of confusion flashed in her eyes. After a long while, she slowly said, "The life and death of other people has nothing to do with me!"
"Your Majesty is kind!"
Si Miaochang's expression changed slightly, but he still bowed respectfully and said, "Si is very grateful."
Illya did not mention how to deal with the men in the Si family who are over ten years old, but how could he not know that the reason why the Si family can still persist today is entirely dependent on those female gentlemen. Once all the women are taken away,
The remaining men have almost no ability to survive, and their fate will definitely not be much better.
This move was vicious, but Si Miaochang did not show any dissatisfaction.
He was simply asking for a high price. Originally he only hoped that Illya could rescue the women in the clan. Now that the other party is willing to take the children, it is already an answer that exceeds expectations. If he continues to force it, it will be self-defeating.
As the head of a down-and-out family, he knows better than anyone that going too far is not enough.
"In addition to mother and aunt, how many other women have been sent by the Presbyterian Church to seduce masters from various fields?"
Illya nodded and suddenly thought of an important question, "Do you have a directory..."
"puff!"
Before he finished his question, there was a crisp sound from somewhere. Si Miaochang suddenly turned pale, his eyes, ears, mouth and nose were all bleeding. He slowly fell forward, fell hard, and then stopped.
When he moved, there was no sound between his mouth and nose.
I saw a silver needle stuck in the back of his neck, and blood flowed out of his seven orifices, soon soaking a large area of the ground.
Black blood!
Illya's face remained calm, and she slowly raised her head to look at the entrance of the Si Mansion. She saw a red figure standing in front of the door with a smile on her face, her arms crossed in front of her chest, and sparkling silver needles showing between her fingers.
.
Needless to say, this was the person who killed Si Miaochang.
"I'm still asking him questions."
The moment she saw the other party's appearance clearly, Illya's pretty face sank, and there was a trace of murderous intent in her words.
"The elder of Goddess Mountain has a good seal. I have met Her Majesty the Empress."
The man in red grinned and said politely, "Si Miaochang, the head of the Si family, colluded with Litu Bing and communicated with foreign enemies. He deserves to be punished. I apologize for disturbing your questioning."
Despite his humble attitude and unimpressive appearance, if Zhong Wen were present, he would have instantly recognized that this person was the elder in red who stopped him when he planned to take Jiang Nini out of the Sky City.
"Have you been lying on the wall for a while?"
Gu Tiancai suddenly chuckled and said, "The dignified elder of the Chaos Realm has really worked hard."
"So Brother Gu already knew that Feng was here?"
A strange look flashed in Feng Xie's eyes, "If that's the case, why didn't you stop me from attacking Master Si just now?"
"I didn't save him because he deserved to die."
Gu Tiancai slowly raised his right arm, and the sword and jade wheel Qian Si did not know when it appeared in his palm, "But knowing that Gu is here, I only sent you alone, which is a bit unexpected. The people from Goddess Mountain
Are you all so ignorant of yourself now?"
"Brother Gu is only in the soul state."
Feng Xie's voice was always gentle and calm, as if he was chatting with a friend. There was no hint of hostility, "Isn't it enough to arrange for someone from the Chaos Realm to come?"
"In the realm of chaos, there are many people who can fight with Gu, but it's a pity that you are not among them."
The corners of Gu Tiancai's mouth raised slightly, revealing a contemptuous smile, "Illya, I'll come as soon as I can, and I'll leave those bugs behind to be dealt with by you."
Just as he was speaking, several black mosquitoes appeared silently behind Ilia. They showed off their sharp mouthparts and pierced her fair and smooth pink neck fiercely. Their movements were as fast as lightning.
He is so secretive and ruthless that even top assassins would feel ashamed when they see him.
What’s even more shocking is that each mosquito is as big as a dragonfly!
"good!"
Illya, however, didn't even turn her head and responded casually. Her delicate body trembled slightly, and an earth-shattering soul pressure surged out of her body, covering the entire palace in an instant.
"Puff puff!"
The mosquitoes that were originally full of murderous intent exploded one after another, and their stumps were scattered all over the ground. In just half a breath, not a single one of them was left.
Feeling the terrifying coercion of the Overlord Body, even Feng Xieye, who had the cultivation level of Chaos Realm, could not help but change his face slightly, and was shocked in his heart.
"Your name is Feng, right?"
Before he could come to his senses, a sneer suddenly came from his ears, "Come, come, let's see if Gu's swordsmanship is only in the soul state, can it still catch your eye?"
What followed was a terrifying sword light that destroyed the heaven and earth, and its astonishing sharpness seemed to split the world in half.
Damn it!
Is this really the soul state?
Looking at the oncoming sky-defying sword light, Feng Xie's face turned pale, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he suddenly began to regret why he had said something mean and deliberately provoked the other party.
In an instant, the sharp sword light swallowed him up completely. The entire garden was covered in white, and the dazzling light made it difficult to open one's eyes.
…
Just as the city in the sky was in turmoil, two graceful figures, one white and one colorful, appeared quietly at the foot of the Goddess Mountain.
"Sister Bing'er."
Zhuma's beautiful eyes were looking forward to it, with a faint smile, she asked Li Bing beside her in a sweet voice, "Are we going to take away the lair in the Goddess Mountain?"
"I'm here for revenge."
Li Bing shook his head, with a hint of coldness in his sweet voice.
"revenge?"
Zhuma was stunned for a moment, "Who can I seek revenge from?"
"The wind has no limit."
Li Bingying opened her lips lightly and slowly uttered three words.
