Yao Jing
"What? Luo Yin, did you want to snatch this cultivator from me? You know me. I can let you deal with the others, but this one is definitely mine." Shen Tu immediately opened his eyes wide and shouted.
"Humph, do you think I'm you? I haven't been close to women for many years, but, this woman is of great use to me." Luo Yin narrowed his eyes and said with hatred. At the same time, he glanced at Xiao Yi, who was in the hands of Qiu Da. However, after Xiao Yi's disguise, even Luo Yin couldn't recognize him.
"What? Does this woman have an influential background?" Shen Tu held back his anger and asked in surprise.
"Hum, it's that guy's woman. I can't be wrong. I didn't expect that you would accidentally catch his woman." Luo Yin said word by word, clenching his teeth.
When Shen Tu heard this, he clapped his hands and laughed loudly. "Since she's your enemy's woman. It's easy to deal with her. Let me refine his woman into a stove for you to vent your anger. What else can I do better than this? Ah? Ha, ha, ha, ha!"
"Bullsh*t!" Luo Yin let out a cold cry when he heard this. "How are you going to lure that brat into the trap after hurting you? You are someone who loves treasures as much as your life. You actually don't know about a rare commodity. Even if you want to humiliate her, you must do so in front of that brat. Only then will you release the hatred in your heart."
Shen Tu was not angry after being scolded. Although he was still greedy, he rolled his eyes and said in a gloomy voice, "Luo Yin, you have to say this. We have known each other for many years, so I have to lend you this woman. However, this kind of top-grade female cultivator is valuable to me. She is worth more than ten thousand..."
As Shen Tu spoke, he rubbed his dirty and fat hands together. The meaning behind his words was extremely clear.
Luo Yin looked at Shen Tu with hatred. In the end, the hatred in his heart prevailed. He said in a hoarse voice, "Don't worry. As long as you follow my words, I'll take 10% of the treasures behind the Black Tortoise Formation. The rest will be yours. After that guy is hooked, if you help me to kill him, the woman will naturally be yours."
"Hee hee, to be able to get you to make such a decision, it looks like that little brat is really extremely repulsive." Shen Tu laughed. His pair of pig eyes violently rubbed on Shu Wan's body a couple of times.
Luo Yin waved his hand and took Shu Wan into his space.
Xiao Yi's heart trembled. However, at this moment, he had no other choice but to endure. Otherwise, wouldn't he have let down Shu Wan?
However, Shen Tu said to Qiu Da, "You've made a great contribution. I'll reward you."
After saying that, Shen Tu pointed to Xiao Yi in Qiu Da's hand and asked, "What's the purpose of keeping this boatman?"
"Master, this boatman is still rather strong. Your women can get the nutrients. As a result, I brought him here as well." Qiu Da said as if he was trying to gain some merit.
"This is very good. You're worth teaching." Shen Tu was in a very good mood.
"Taoist Shen Tu, don't waste any more time. You'd better hurry up to see the Black Tortoise Formation. You can deal with your own grievances in the future. I don't have time to listen to you." The shape-shifting turtle urged.
Shen Tu had waited for decades for this Black Tortoise Formation. Now, he naturally focused on the formation, so he had no time to waste. He immediately took Luo Yin and the shape-shifting turtle to the depths of the cave residence.
Qiu Da, who was in the Core Formation Realm, walked to a secret chamber with Xiao Yi in his hand.
Raising his hand, he threw Xiao Yi into the room and was about to turn around and leave.
However, he suddenly felt a strong wind blowing from the back of his head.
Qiu Da immediately knew that he was in trouble. He abruptly turned around, only to see that the boatman, who had already collapsed, had suddenly stood up. He was holding a giant blue stick in his hand, and it was about to hit him in the face.
There were stick shadows all around, where could Qiu Da hide?
The next second, there was a muffled sound.
Xiao Yi's Spirit Convergence Needle smashed viciously onto Qiu Da's head.
Before Qiu Da could even make a single sound, not only was his head smashed to his throat, but all of his bones were broken under the brunt of the blow.
His original 1.7 meters height was smashed to less than one meter, and his Divine Soul was smashed to pieces. The corpse was piled up on the ground, dead.
Xiao Yi rushed in the direction where Luo Yin and the others disappeared. Shu Wan was still in their hands, so how could Xiao Yi not be worried?
However, a mechanism gate appeared after turning into a narrow and deep hole.
There were hundreds of copper nails the size of bowls on the gate, and each of them could be pressed down. As long as the order was right, the gate could be opened. This kind of pure mechanical means was not for any Divine Awareness formation. Even if Xiao Yi's Divine Awareness was strong, he could not see through it and decipher it. He could only explore it bit by bit. If he tried to open the door, he would break it violently.
However, if he violently broke through the gate he would expose himself too early. It also meant that he put Shu Wan in danger. Xiao Yi naturally did not dare to do so.
He immediately started to grope carefully in front of the mechanism gate.
However, after twenty minutes, he still had no clue.
The sweat on Xiao Yi's face was falling down in a hurry. His concern was growing. The more anxious he was, the more he could not find a clue.
"What should I do?" Xiao Yi clenched his fists, and his eyes were red with anxiety.
However, at this very moment, a few inaudible footsteps could be heard from behind him.
"Who is it?" Xiao Yi growled in a low voice. He abruptly rose to his feet and silently pounced to the man's side like a large bird. He raised his hand and pinched the man's throat.
A skinny figure appeared in Xiao Yi's hand. This caused Xiao Yi's heart to twitch. He focused his eyes on it.
However, he was shocked by what he saw. He withdrew his fingers and stared at the person in front of him with a stunned look.
It was a woman, a woman in her forties. She used to be a very familiar person to Xiao Yi.
This woman was Xiao Yi's aunt, Yao Jing!
One of Xiao Yi's goals during this trip was to search for and rescue Yao Jing. He didn't expect to see her here so abruptly.
However, at this moment, Yao Jing was standing tall and straight. Her clothes were revealing, and her body was dirty. Her hair was in a mess, and her eyes were lifeless. She looked like a ghost.
Xiao Yi couldn't help but think of the first time he saw Yao Jing. She was such a sly person. She always stuck her head out and was so cunning and domineering that she didn't put anyone in her eyes.
But today, she was in such a bad situation that Xiao Yi could not speak for a while.
Yao Jing took the lead in opening her mouth. Although her voice was hoarse, there was urgency in it. "You came along with Shu Wan, right? You concealed your cultivation level. You're here to save Shu Wan, right? I know how to open the door, so I'll help you."
As Yao Jing spoke, she staggered towards the mechanism gate. She did her best to follow the order and pressed down on every copper nail.
When all the copper nails were pressed, the mechanism gate finally slid soundlessly to the side, revealing the secret tunnel of the mechanism gate inside.
"You, why do you want to help me?" Xiao Yi did not immediately enter the secret tunnel. Instead, he cried out involuntarily.
"If you are lucky enough to go out with Shu Wan alive, please ask Shu Wan to take a message for my husband in Hai City and my son and daughter. I, I am sorry for them. Ask them to educate our son and daughter well. Do not let them step on the evil road." Yao Jing's eyes were drifting, and she said slowly.
Hearing this, Xiao Yi looked at Yao Jing's listless look and finally felt a little pain in his heart. He wiped his face with his hands and restored his face. He whispered, "Aunt, it's me!"
"Ah!" Yao Jing let out a low cry. Her eyes widened instantly as if she had seen a ghost. "Xiao, Xiao Yi!"
"It's me, aunt. I've finally found you." Xiao Yi nodded his head vigorously. Even though he was not used to calling her aunt, at this moment, he called her aunt from the bottom of his heart.
Yao Jing saw Xiao Yi's face clearly. Her face changed dramatically, and her eyes flashed. She reached out her hand and randomly pulled at the clothes on her body, trying to cover her body. However, the clothes were completely revealing.
Xiao Yi hurriedly took off his clothes and wrapped them around Yao Jing's body. Even though she had already reached this stage, she could still preserve the last bit of her dignity.
"Xiao Yi, I didn't expect to see you again." Yao Jing's eyes flickered, and two lines of tears could not help but flow down her face. "I, I was sorry for your Xiao family."
"Aunt, everything is over. Don't mind it anymore." Xiao Yi said in a low voice.
"Are Pengbo and Xiao Na all right? Is your uncle all right?" Yao Jing asked carefully.
Hearing this, the corner of Xiao Yi's mouth trembled. He sighed and said, "Yes! They're all good! They miss you very much."
When Yao Jing heard the news of her closest relatives, she finally couldn't help but burst into tears.
She had a lot of words to say to Xiao Yi, but she remembered Shu Wan. She quickly wiped her tears and said to Xiao Yi, "Go and save Shu Wan. Shen Tu has an ecstasy brocade banner. If you are not careful, you will get into trouble."
"Yes. Please wait for me here. I'll bring you home. Xiao Yi nodded and headed for the depths of the tunnel.
Yao Jing grabbed Xiao Yi's clothes and nervously looked inside the cave. An endless amount of hope ignited in her heart. After endless years of pain and humiliation, it was as if the light of dawn was right before her eyes.
Xiao Yi flew all the way, and there were no obstacles along the way. He went straight into the depths of the cave, about a thousand meters away.
At this moment, Luo Yin, Shen Tu, and the shape-shifting turtle had already arrived in front of the Black Tortoise Formation.
There was a massive pool of water. With a slight touch of True Energy, talismanic seals began to cover the water's surface, giving off an oppressive pressure. It seemed to be incredibly profound.
"Fellow Taoist, next, it's your turn." Shen Tu pointed to the pond and said to the shape-shifting turtle.
Without saying anything, the shape-shifting turtle shook its body and went straight into the pool with a splash. Then it immediately transformed into its original shape.
It turned out to be a giant turtle about half the size of a pool of water. With a roar, the giant turtle sank into the bottom of the pool, and True Energy surged wildly and injected into the Black Tortoise Formation.
