Chapter 397 Caught!

"Three seniors, what's the matter?" Shi Yue asked nervously with a horrified expression on his face.

His behavior was consistent with the reaction of a Qi Refining cultivator when he met three Foundation Establishment cultivators, and it should not arouse suspicion.

"Disciple of Taixu Sect, why are you here? Are you alone?" The man in white robe looked Shi Yue up and down and asked coldly.

"Junior heard that there are many spiritual herbs growing near Sanxin Market, so I came here to pick them? There is no problem with this!" Shi Yue asked cautiously.

"There are also many spiritual herbs in the residence of Taixu Sect. Why do you come here to pick them?" The woman in green skirt raised her eyebrows and asked in a deep voice.

"This... there is no rule that our Taixu Sect disciples can only move around near the Taixu Mountains!" Shi Yue frowned and said, he then thought of something, took off the storage bag on his waist, and said: "Junior is willing to hand over the dozens of spiritual medicines I have, please let me go!"

"Hmph, do you think we are after the spiritual medicines on you? Ridiculous, now someone has killed our patrol team, we have been ordered to arrest all strange monks who appear near the mountains and bring them back to the market for interrogation, and those who disobey will be killed without mercy, do you want to follow us obediently or do you want to die here?" The blue-robed Taoist said with a fake smile.

"Uh..." Shi Yue secretly said in his heart that it was not good, and a hesitant expression appeared on his face.

"Shi boy, promise them that it seems that a Jindan stage monk has arrived. If you resist, you can't run far. Anyway, there is nothing in your storage bag, so it's okay to let them look through the storage bag." Xiaoyaozi's voice suddenly rang in Shi Yue's mind.

"What if they torture me or don't let me out!" This thought flashed through Shi Yue's mind.

"What are you afraid of? At most, they will release Linglongwu. Just remember to give him the spirit stones when the time comes."

Seeing that Shi Yue did not respond, the white-robed man's face darkened and he was about to say something. Shi Yue spoke first and said, "Junior is willing to go back to the market with the three seniors for interrogation."

"Humph, that's better. Come up! Don't play tricks with us. We have captured dozens of people now. Two of them resisted and have gone to see the King of Hell." The white-robed man snorted and said coldly.

Shi Yue responded, and the Qingfeng wings behind him flapped lightly, and slowly flew onto the white flying boat.

At this moment, a blue light flew from the distant sky, and stopped in front of them after a few flashes.

The blue light faded, revealing a tall and thin middle-aged man wearing a blue Confucian robe. Judging from his aura, he was a Jindan stage cultivator.

"Greetings, Elder Zhao." The three white-robed men hurriedly saluted when they saw the middle-aged scholar, their expressions extremely respectful.

"Well, this is the newly captured strange cultivator! He is only at the Great Perfection of Qi Refining. Song Ming, you can escort him back alone, and the others will continue to search for strange cultivators." The middle-aged scholar looked Shi Yue up and down, pointed at the blue-robed Taoist priest, and ordered in an unquestionable tone.

The blue-robed Taoist priest responded, slapped the storage bag on his waist, and a several-foot-long black chain flew out of it.

The black chain was covered with tadpole-sized black runes, which looked quite extraordinary.

"What do you mean, senior?" Shi Yue was shocked when he saw the blue-robed Taoist priest take out a chain, and his expression was a little nervous.

"This is a soul-locking chain, which can lock the magic power in your body to prevent you from escaping." The blue-robed Taoist priest explained, and was about to lock Shi Yue's hands with the black chain.

"Forget it, I have a history with Taixu Sect. For the sake of your sect, just escort him back to the market! But I have something to say in advance. We are arresting fugitives, and we are not the only one to arrest you. If you dare to escape, don't blame me, Zhao Dongliu, for not giving face to Taixu Sect." At the end, the middle-aged scholar's face was full of murderous aura.

Shi Yue's heart trembled, and he nodded and said, "Junior has remembered it. I will never run away."

Song Ming slapped the spirit beast bag on his waist, and a strange bird about ten feet long flew out of it.

The strange bird was green all over, with two heads, the heads were only the size of fists, the neck was about a foot long, and the head was bald, looking very ugly.

Shi Yue and Song Ming jumped onto the green strange bird one after another. Song Ming slapped the green strange bird under him, and the green strange bird spread its wings and flew quickly to the distant sky, faster than the best flying magic weapon.

The wind whistled past him, and the scenery below him quickly retreated.

"Senior Song, excuse me, what is the name of your spiritual bird? It's so fast! It's faster than my Qingfeng Wing." Shi Yue asked curiously.

"Hmph, can a top-grade flying magic weapon compare with my two-headed eagle? My two-headed eagle is only a high-level first-grade one, and its speed is a few points faster than the top-grade flying magic weapon. When it is promoted to the second level, its flying speed will catch up with the flying magic weapon." Song Ming said with some pride.

After hearing this, Shi Yue showed an envious expression on his face. The mana consumed by driving a flying magic weapon is not small, but driving a spiritual bird does not require any mana, just consumes some spiritual consciousness. He thought that he had to buy a flying spiritual bird with a faster flying speed in the future.

Thinking of this, he suddenly thought of the giant dragon egg in the palm of the sky space. He didn't know when this money-making thing would hatch.

After a cup of tea, Song Ming landed at the entrance of Sanxin Market.

Shi Yue was surprised to find that there was a golden light curtain above the entire Sanxin Market, emitting a strong wave of prohibition. It turned out that the city defense formation of the market was activated.

A row of monks wearing uniform golden shirts stood on the city wall. Several giant crossbows were placed on the city wall. The thick golden arrows were aimed at the sky. Under the sunlight, they reflected a strange cold light.

Several golden shirt monks stood on both sides of the entrance. They were allowed to enter but not leave. Several golden shirt monks escorted more than a dozen immortal cultivators with black iron chains on their hands into Sanxin Market.

"Hey, Brother Song, why don't you lock this person with a soul-locking chain?" A tall middle-aged man came over and asked curiously.

"It was ordered by Elder Zhao. This person is a disciple of Taixu Sect. Give Taixu Sect some face." Song Ming explained.

"I see, then I will take care of this man, and you can go and capture the strange cultivators!" The middle-aged man nodded and waved his hand, and a man in a golden shirt came over quickly.

"Take this man to the dungeon. Elder Zhao has ordered that he does not need to be locked with a spiritual chain." The middle-aged man pointed at Shi Yue and said.

The man in the golden shirt responded and asked Shi Yue to follow behind a dozen cultivators with black iron chains on their hands.

After entering Sanxinfang City, Shi Yue found that there was no one on the street, but many cultivators gathered in the buildings on both sides of the street. They had different expressions on their faces, pointing at Shi Yue and his group and whispering something. 鈥斺��
