Chapter 12336
Falling into Jiang Xiaoshang's hands, every second was an indescribable, terrifying ordeal.
Lin Yi's heart stirred, and he glanced at the list of those who had been granted amnesty.
Sima Hongtu made the list with a loyalty score of 85.
This surprised Lin Yi a bit.
Sima Hongtu impressed him not only as a cunning old fox, but also as an honest man. Unexpectedly, he was quite loyal at the beginning.
However, upon closer reflection, he realized that he had witnessed Jiang Xiaoshang's endless methods of tormenting people.
Having been treated so meticulously by Jiang Xiaoshang, even if it were the Great Sage Evil Demon himself, let alone Sima Hongtu, he would probably have to obediently offer him a cigarette.
Released from the new world, Sima Hongtu's eyes became clear.
"Son."
Sima Hongtu bowed respectfully.
Lin Yi patted him on the shoulder: "From now on, we're on the same side. Go back to the Sima family and keep an eye on the movements of the Tianjun aristocratic families, especially the Tiangong side."
Sima Hongtu nodded repeatedly, then said with some unease, "The Sima family is full of hidden talents. If I go back like this, won't they find out something is amiss?"
When he submitted to Lin Yi this time, he knew that a special mark had been planted deep within his primordial spirit.
If it were any other respectable aristocratic family in Tianjun, they would at least be more polite to the masters they worship, on the surface.
The Sima family, however, was an anomaly.
Even a top-tier honoree like Sima Hongtu must have his primordial spirit checked regularly, and no disloyalty is tolerated.
If the mark Lin Yi planted were discovered, it would be a huge joke.
Lin Yi laughed and said, "Don't worry, they won't find out."
Sima Hongtu was skeptical.
Little did they know, Lin Yi's confidence was not entirely unfounded.
What he planted was not an ordinary primordial spirit imprint, but the seed of the world will of the new world.
Given the level of this thing, let alone ordinary cultivators and experts, even if the gods were present, they might not be able to see through it.
Unless it's a creator god, it's more likely.
After giving all his instructions, Sima Hongtu immediately set off.
It's quite a sad story.
He came for the track loophole, but after all that, he didn't get the loophole and ended up with a new boss for no reason.
However, under the subtle influence of the seeds of world will, he did not harbor any resentment; instead, he felt a sense of regret for not having met them sooner.
Ultimately, although he was a top-ranking retainer of the Sima family, he was not truly loyal to the Sima family.
He had suffered a lot of humiliation at the Sima family before, and now that Lin Yi had recruited him, he even felt a sense of satisfaction in getting revenge.
As he stepped out of the barrier, a voice suddenly sounded behind him, causing Sima Hongtu to stiffen.
"Grand plan".
An old man in black robes appeared out of nowhere, his eyes were sinister and his cold aura alone was enough to freeze a person into ice.
Sima Hongtu's eyelids twitched, and he quickly turned around and bowed: "Elder."
This person is Sima Hui, the eldest elder of the Sima family.
Despite sharing the same surname, Sima, their status within the Sima family was worlds apart.
Sima Hui is a core member of the Sima family and sits in the position of the Grand Elder. His power is so great that he can rival the head of the family.
In contrast, Sima Hongtu, although he could be considered a collateral branch of the Sima family, was not even remotely related by blood.
The title of "Special Grade Offering" sounds prestigious, but in reality, the person's status in the Sima family was merely that of a henchman, much like a dog kept by the Sima family.
He had absolutely no right to interfere in the affairs of the family, big or small.
All you have to do is obey.
Sima Hui patted him on the shoulder: "What are you doing here?"
His tone was very casual, but Sima Hongtu knew very well that if he answered the question even slightly inadequately, the other party could turn hostile at any moment.
The execution of a top-ranking retainer would be shocking in other families, but it was not an isolated case in the Sima family.
Sima Hongtu quickly said, "I heard that Dewey ended the beggar track, so I came to see if it was my informant Dewey."
Sima Hui's tone was inscrutable: "Is it him?"
Sima Hongtu shook his head repeatedly: "He's a hopeless case, how could he possibly have that kind of luck?"
"is it?"
Sima Hui looked him up and down meaningfully: "Then why are you taking this so seriously, even setting up a spatial barrier?"
Sima Hongtu chuckled awkwardly: "If it really is him, I have to help him cover it up, since having a fragment of divine power in his hands is bound to attract covetousness."
Sima Hui shook his head with a smile: "You're not telling the truth."
Before Sima Hongtu could reply, he stepped directly into the barrier.
In an instant, Sima Hongtu's heart jumped into his throat.
Lin Yike is still inside and hasn't come out yet.
Don't be fooled by the fact that Sima Hui came alone. As the eldest elder of the Sima family, he can summon a large group of experts at any time.
Moreover, he himself was a master of the Seven-Zhang Dharma Form.
If the two sides were to meet face to face, the consequences would be unimaginable.
The key point is that under the current circumstances, Sima Hongtu has no reason to stop it. Even if he comes up with a good reason, it will only increase the other party's suspicion.
Sima Hongtu was secretly gathering strength.
Having come this far, he had no choice but to give up and prepare to cooperate with Lin Yi.
Given the terrifying strength Lin Yi had previously displayed, he still had a chance to defeat Sima Hui, though the chances were slim.
The real trouble lies in the fact that Sima Hui's position is extraordinary, and if something happens to him, the Sima family will inevitably be shaken.
It would be extremely difficult to completely sever its ties with the Sima family.
As a result, just as Sima Hongtu was bracing himself to make a move, Sima Hui stopped, his tone carrying a hint of disdain.
"So drunk, you think you're worthy of being an informant for the Sima family?"
Sima Hongtu was taken aback.
At this moment, within the vast spatial barrier, besides him and Sima Hui, there was only a drunken and unconscious Dewey, and Lin Yi was nowhere to be seen.
Sima Hongtu was speechless.
what's the situation?
The spatial barrier has not been lifted yet, so theoretically Lin Yi must still be here; it's impossible for him to have vanished into thin air.
This involves the most basic rules and principles, which cannot be violated simply by having great strength.
Sima Hongtu quietly released his divine sense, but still couldn't find any trace of it.
In fact, Sima Hui's divine sense was far more powerful than his. If there had been even the slightest clue at the scene, Sima Hui would have discovered it long ago, and it wouldn't have been his turn.
Suppressing his surprise and doubt, Sima Hongtu stepped forward, glanced at the decadent Dewey, and said with a forced smile, "It's my fault for not managing him well."
Sima Hui shook his head: "This is not your problem. How could you, a special-grade retainer, waste your precious time on such trash? This is a flaw in the family management system."
As he spoke, he placed his hand on Dewey's head.
Sima Hongtu felt a sudden tightness in his chest.
He knew that the other party was examining Dewey's primordial spirit, and once they discovered something, the situation would immediately spiral out of control.
The atmosphere froze for a moment.
