I became a fox girl and was captured by the True Dragon Saint

76. Round

"Really?" Emperor Jing smiled without commenting on Si Lian's words.

He said he had a surprise for the Bagpipe Squad.

Now it’s time to reveal the surprise.

*********

"Your Excellency? How is that possible...Are you overthinking it?"

Hearing the roar coming from afar, Jiang Ke'er did not feel complacent about the successful triggering of the trap. Instead, she became more nervous, so nervous that it made everyone feel uneasy.

"How could a king of a country do such a shameful thing as sending a venerable to assassinate someone... What if we get discovered? The whole Shenzhou might be staring at us now!"

"As long as we are not discovered, there will be no shame."

Jiang Ke'er's tone was solemn. She was 100% sure that among these contestants, there was a killer planted by Emperor Jing.

She wasn't too worried about the other contestants, but the killer's presence made her feel uncomfortable.

"But... why?" The little demons were puzzled. Jiang Ke'er did not tell them about this before the game started.

In order not to affect the mentality of the other team members, she had not told the little demons that Si Lian had been captured until now.

"Oh." Jiang Ke'er sighed.

She had been wondering why Emperor Jing arrested Si Lian.

The size of the Bagpipe Squad is not enough to make Emperor Jing do such a thing. Only the killer Lan Ying has violated Emperor Jing's bottom line and is a thorn in his side.

Therefore, capturing Si Lian and forcing her to reveal Lan Ying's whereabouts was most likely Emperor Jing's purpose.

But most interrogation techniques were ineffective against Si Lian. Jiang Ke'er knew the relationship between Si Lian and Lan Ying. When she heard Si Lian shout out the three names "Qiao Xiaoxian" in a daze while drunk... in fact, she already knew what she should know.

Therefore, Si Lian would never betray Lan Ying.

The only thing that could possibly shake her is the safety of the Bagpipe Squad.

For this reason, Emperor Jing will definitely place his own "insurance" in this game to put mental pressure on Si Lian step by step.

Jiang Ke'er could hardly imagine what kind of mental pressure Si Lian was under at this moment. On one side was the team into which she had poured all her efforts and which carried her lifelong hopes, and on the other side was her own daughter.

Every time she falls into a life-or-death crisis, it is a heavy blow to Si Lian, causing her spirit to suffer.

The only thing he could do was to end it all as soon as possible and kill all the other contestants, so that the "safeties" planted by Emperor Jing would become the focus of attention and would not dare to show too much strength.

"So Qingyi, why on earth did Emperor Jing send His Holiness to kill us? I don't understand," Lin Gang pressed.

"Of course he's afraid of us!" Just when Jiang Ke'er didn't know how to explain, Jie Shui laughed and interrupted, "We are the invincible bagpipe team! Isn't it natural for the shit emperor to be afraid of us?"

"That's right, that's what happened," Jiang Ke'er said with a smile.

Anyone could tell that Jie Shui's words were totally unreliable, and Jiang Ke'er was just trying to get out of it. However, the other team members did not continue to ask questions. They believed that if Jiang Ke'er didn't say anything, there must be some unspeakable reason.

Just do exactly what she tells you to do.

"Continue with the original plan and look for the canyon." Jiang Keer said.

If the other party has a Venerable in charge, then any ambush or sneak attack will be meaningless. The other party is probably monitoring my movements and waiting for me to reveal a flaw.

However, the opponent will not kill instantly by direct attack and use the power of the Venerable level.

Because his goal is to force the Bagpipe Squad into death, he would be more inclined to use his own perception advantage as a venerable to coordinate the overall situation and guide the other contestants to gradually surround and kill the Bagpipe Squad, rather than taking action himself.

Only in a desperate melee would he take action himself and deal a fatal blow to the Bagpipe Squad.

And this is your chance!

The canyon is the most important part of my plan for this operation.

You must find the canyon. Once you find the canyon, you will have a chance... Even if you are a Venerable, you have to pay a price!

*********

Si Lian stared at the projected game situation, his brows furrowed deeper and deeper.

In her expectation, the human cultivators should be like a pile of loose sand, fighting each other with their own ulterior motives, to compete for the final qualification.

In that situation, taking the opportunity to hide and hide until the end of the game would be the only chance for the Bagpipe Team to survive.

But in fact, the human monks not only did not make such a mistake, but their actions were very purposeful.

They followed closely behind the Bagpipe Squad several miles away, forming a double-layer encirclement formation. No matter how the Bagpipe Squad turned left and right, they were able to follow closely and never lost direction. It seemed that they were fully aware of the Bagpipe Squad's current location.

On the surface, they would fight each other a few times as if in a show, and then immediately retreat, taking the opportunity to adjust their formation and exchange positions.

In this way, not only can the outside audience not see any clues, but it can also form an extremely tight and efficient encirclement formation, making it impossible for the Bagpipe Squad to get any chance of breaking out.

There is no doubt that there is a super master in charge at this moment, and the identity of this super master is definitely extraordinary.

"Oh, you see?"

Emperor Jing listened to Si Lian's increasingly rapid breathing in the box and smiled with ease: "I have said that there are thousands of geniuses in the human race, and those few are not the only ones... The more outstanding talents over the years have already been taken under my command. I wonder if you are satisfied with this commander of my imperial guards?"

Si Lian was shaking with anger. She closed her eyes, feeling desperate: "You even sent the commander of the imperial guards in... You really have no bottom line!"

"Bottom line? That was originally a thing I set for those ordinary people, just to prevent them from causing trouble for me. What bottom line do I need?" Emperor Jing laughed. "What? Are you interested in telling me the whereabouts of Lan Ying now?"

"It's still uncertain who will win." Si Lian gritted her teeth, but her voice lacked confidence.

"By then, it will be too late for you to regret," Emperor Jing said playfully, "Lan Ying is just an assassin. Is she that important to you? Why would you waste your life's hard work for her..."

Si Lian said nothing.

Emperor Jing continued, "Your team members this year are really excellent, so excellent that I am somewhat concerned about them. They may be your only chance in this life. If you miss them, you will never meet them again."

Si Lian still didn't say anything, but she knew very well in her heart that what Emperor Jing said was right - although she always said that they were the worst class she had ever taught when she scolded Jie Shui, they were actually the best class she had ever seen.

Her heart ached as she watched the bagpipe team gradually being surrounded. She felt so heartbroken that she almost fainted and her vision went dark.

"You can torture me and search my soul," Si Lian's hoarse voice was lifeless, "but you can't get the whereabouts of Lan Ying from me."

"Why? Why are you so stubborn?" Emperor Jing shook his head and sighed.

Si Lian smiled bitterly: "Because I have already betrayed her once."

"What do you mean?" Emperor Jing frowned.

Si Lian leaned weakly against the box.

"You...are not the first person to threaten me."

Emperor Jing fell silent.

However, neither Jingdi nor Si Lian noticed that not far behind them, a guard's breathing quickened and his body trembled slightly.

(Both the 30th and the 1st are very busy, but I will resume with two updates tomorrow.)

77. Round

Si Lian's voice sounded hoarse and old.

"That time, I chose to save the team because I believed that Blue Shadow's power could help us get through this disaster."

“But I paid a price for it.”

There was no life in Si Lian's eyes. She stared painfully at the bagpipe squad that was gradually being surrounded. She huddled in the corner of the box, hugging her knees tightly with her hands.

"What is your relationship with Lan Ying?" Emperor Jing realized something was wrong. "Why is she on par with the team in your heart?"

Si Lian laughed at herself.

"She is my only concern and the reason I am still alive... I will never betray her again. Even if you use soul search on me, you will not be able to find out her whereabouts. I have sworn an oath to the Heavenly Dao in the Land of Oaths. Don't even think of getting any information about Blue Shadow from me in any form of exploration."

"The Land of Oath?!" Emperor Jing was shocked, "You... are so cruel!"

To take an oath at the Land of Oaths, one must pledge one of his or her three souls and seven spirits as collateral. Until the oath is fulfilled, the soul will be forever pledged in the Soul Monument at the Land of Oaths.

If you make a vow like "I will never betray Lan Ying again in this life", then that soul will not return until after you die.

Those who lack souls are equivalent to giving up the chance to advance to the immortal level. Their cultivation realm will be forever locked below the immortal level. At the same time, they will never be able to use many soul-related techniques. Even if they can use them, their power will be less than half of that of others... In this land of Gods, where even the slightest bit of strength can determine life and death, such a decision is simply courting death.

"Forget it," Emperor Jing sighed and leaned back in his chair, "In fact, I have always admired your actions... In this case, I will not embarrass you anymore. I will give you a decent death."

"Thank you so much." Si Lian sneered.

"But you have to watch this game with me carefully," Emperor Jing said expressionlessly, "Since you chose Lanying, your team will pay the price for your choice."

In the picture in the sky, the semicircular team of human monks has successfully encircled the Bagpipe Squad and is gradually shrinking the circle.

The spectators in the stadium slowed down their breathing and stared at the screen carefully, for fear of missing the fleeting killing scene.

Seeing that arrogant team being pushed into a desperate situation little by little...it's really an enjoyment, so satisfying!

********

"There are no canyons nearby," Jiang Ke'er retracted her consciousness, her expression tired, "Move to the northwest and try to break through... Wait."

Jiang Keer closed her eyes again and sensed.

After a while, she opened her eyes in surprise: "There seems to be a canyon thirty miles to the northeast, move northeast immediately!"

Going northeast, the terrain becomes obviously wider and higher.

Gradually, the green branches and leaves disappeared, leaving only brown and black dead trees and branches standing on the white stone ground.

"This white stone seems a little strange." Jiang Ke'er was a little hesitant.

It was like two different worlds, separated by a clear dividing line. One side was a jungle with blooming flowers in spring, while the other was freezing cold, with a chill that felt like a knife cutting your face.

Jiang Keer squatted down to examine the huge white stone. The coldness came from this thing.

In a different world, if you encounter a strange environment, you should take a detour for safety reasons, but now the Bagpipe Squad really has no time to take a detour.

"Let's fight! Keep running!"

The current situation of the Bagpipe Squad is that they are racing against time to survive. They must reach the northeast canyon before the encirclement is completed, in order to have a chance of survival.

Can't lose.

Jiang Keer gritted her teeth.

Can't lose at all costs!

*******

"Adjust direction and chase to the northeast. They are slowing down." After a slight perception, Zeng Tie, who had a simple face, sent a message to the rest of the human team.

The captain of the Blazing Team, Chen Bule, who had taken over another body, clenched the knife in his hand: "Finally she stopped running away. This time I will chop off her head with my own hands!"

"Everyone, pay attention. Don't use magic or attacks on Qingyi lightly. If you do, it must be a fatal blow!" Zeng Tie warned through voice transmission, "Seize the opportunity to attack the mage named A Miao. Once you get rid of him, they will be at their wit's end."

"It's so cold." someone said.

Zeng Tie frowned and squatted down. He also noticed the changes in the surrounding environment. The temperature dropped sharply and cold white stones were piled on the ground.

He reached out and picked up a piece. After seeing the shape of the other party clearly, he couldn't help but exclaimed in shock: "Snowflakes? Such big snowflakes!"

The hexagonal ice crystals are as big as a human head, very thin, and their edges are as sharp as knives.

This thick snow could also block his perception to a certain extent. In his perception, the breath of the bagpipe team in front of him had become a little unclear.

"This place is really weird. Let's kill them and put an end to this." Zeng Tie had a bad feeling in his heart. "They are hiding in the canyon ahead. Be careful of an ambush. Divide half of our forces to outflank them from above."

The team quickly arrived at the entrance of the canyon.

Half of the people flew upwards, while the other half carefully searched the canyon.

But there was no need to search at all, as they saw the petite shadow as soon as they arrived at one end of the canyon.

Jiang Ke'er placed one hand lightly on the hilt of the sword and held the wine gourd with the other.

She tilted her head back and the fragrant wine in the wine gourd poured into her throat in gulps. Only when the last drop of wine disappeared did she lower her head and solemnly tie the wine gourd around her waist.

The girl wiped her mouth, her face having an alluring drunken blush, and then she hooked her finger at Zeng Tie and all the human monks at the entrance of the canyon.

"Weak scum, come here!"
