Lin Tao thought to himself, this bastard had nothing to do, so he had to mention this.

He didn't have time to think too much, so he turned over and entered the house and said to Dong Wan'er, Chu Gongyu and Qin Hongxiao: "I don't have time to explain. The one who came to investigate was the city gate guard that day. He knew me, and I couldn't let him see it. It was dark that day, and they shouldn't recognize you. Be careful, I'll escape first."

As soon as Lin Tao left, the door creaked and opened.

"According to the order of the City Lord's Mansion, come and search for the fugitive Lin Tao. Who do you know Lin Tao?" the Death Sect soldier asked as soon as he entered the door.

Everyone shook their heads: "Who is Lin Tao? I haven't heard of it."

The monk of the Demon Sect winked, and two or three city lord guards entered the room, whispered it, and then came out.

"Did you find anything suspicious?" asked the monk of the Demon Sect lightly.

"Nothing." The guard replied.

The cultivator of the Demon Sect turned his eyes to Chu Gongyu again and said, "Are you from the Tianjian Sect?"

Chu Gongyu was also good at psychological quality, and he did not show any suspicion at all times, and said, "Yes."

"Tianjian Sect... If I remember correctly, there seems to be no Tianjian Sect in Zhou State?" asked the cultivator of the Demon Sect again.

Chu Gongyu explained in detail the story of attending the martial arts meeting and returning to Zhou State to recognize his ancestors.

The monk of the Demon Sect heard this and asked again: "There are only you guys?"

Chu Gongyu calmly replied: "My master and other brothers left in advance. It was originally going to come in two days, but unexpectedly the city was blocked. What happened to you?"

The monk of the Demon Sect ignored him, looked inside the house with hesitation, and said, "I'll go in and take a look."

The room was a little dark and lacked light, but the furnishings were simple, and you could see at a glance that there was no place to hide.

The monk of the Demon Sect narrowed his eyes and frowned and thought. He had clearly vaguely felt the aura of the monk just now.

"Are you sure there are only three of you here?" He asked Chu Gongyu again.

"It's true that there are only three of us," Chu Gongyu smiled and said, "Why, do you find something wrong?"

The monk of the Demon Sect didn't speak, staring at the room with his eyes tightly. At this time, Lin Tao was hanging on the beam above his head. As long as he looked up, he could see Lin Tao.

Lin Tao tried his best to restrain the aura of a monk, but the distance was so close that no matter how weak the aura was, it made people feel it.

"Strange." The monk of the Demon Sect said softly, and involuntarily raised his eyes slowly.

A cold sweat as big as a bean, crossed Lin Tao's cheeks and hung so much that it could fall down at any time and fall on the head of the Demon Sect cultivator.

The beads of sweat gathered bigger and bigger, and they were about to fall. Then the Demon Sect cultivator was slapped by one hand. Yang Cong stood behind him and said with a smile: "Let's go here first today, rest for a while, and continue in the afternoon."

As soon as the Demon Sect cultivator raised his foot, sweat beads fell to the ground.

Lin Tao breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and the crisis in front of him had been temporarily over.

The Demon Sect cultivator was called by Yang Cong, and temporarily dispelled his doubts and said, "Then let's talk about it in the afternoon."

After they left in a mighty manner, Yang Cong walked behind and gave them a wink.

When he heard that the search was found here, he immediately thought that Lin Tao might have trouble, so he came over to rescue the situation.

And he didn't expect that it was him who saved Lin Tao's life with just one stroke.

If Lin Tao is exposed one and half a moment later, the Demon Sect cultivator will send a signal as soon as possible. The nearby Demon Sect cultivator will come in less than half a moment, and Lin Tao and the others will not be able to escape.

After the Demon Sect cultivator left, he said, "I can't stay here."

Dong Wan'er was very surprised and asked, "Aren't they all gone?"

"The Death Sect soldier in the Demon Sect had some doubts and was interrupted by Yang Cong. He didn't react for a while. I'm afraid he would recall it later. When he came again, things would not be as simple as before." Lin Tao explained.

"What are you going to do?" Dong Wan'er asked.

"I'm going out for a while to meet the monks who falsely accused me. Maybe they know more than us." Lin Tao said.

"Can you find them?"

"They have found me." Lin Tao said lightly.

After Lin Tao went out, he looked at the notes in his hand again. This was what someone stuffed into his hand in the chaos that day.

There are only five words on the note: "Three updates, Five Willow Tree." The meaning is very obvious, so I asked him to meet near Five Willow Tree on the third update.

Although Lin Tao didn't know who was sending the letter, most of the time, this person was the bastard who assassinated the Death Sect and dragged him into the water.

At midnight, Lin Tao came to the near Wuliu Tree early, restrained his breath and hid in the darkness.

He had made plans, and as soon as the man showed up, he immediately subdued him and figured out the matter out.

He lurked behind the woods and waited for a long time, and saw a man coming from afar.

Lin Tao waited for him to get close enough, and suddenly took action, flashed behind the man with a short distance of celestial space. The true energy of his palm instantly condensed. With a puff, the man's body lost consciousness and fell to the ground like a puppet.

Lin Tao turned the man's body over and then saw clearly that the man's face was nothing but Zhou Xi.

Zhou Xi looked surprised and frightened. After seeing Lin Tao clearly, the horror in his eyes gradually faded away and he said, "So it's you!"

Lin Tao was also confused. Shouldn’t Zhou Xi be dead? Why did he suddenly live? Or did he not die that night?

But that night, the Demon Sect seemed to have been fully prepared to slaughter the Zhou family. It is impossible to let an important person like Zhou Xi go, right?

There was a chaotic moment in his mind, and Lin Tao barely lowered the shock in his voice and asked him: "Why are you here?"

Zhou Xi looked confused: "Aren't you looking for me?"

"I fucking thought you were dead long ago, what should I do for you?" Lin Tao suddenly realized that besides Zhou Xi and him, there seemed to be a third person who manipulated them and dominated everything behind the scenes.

Lin Tao pulled Zhou Xi aside, hid his breath, and asked in a low voice: "Don't worry about so many, isn't you the one who came to me?"

Zhou Xi shook his head and could see that since the Zhou family suffered an extermination, he seemed to have become a different person and was very down and out.

Lin Tao asked again: "Who was Lin Tao who called the murderer that day?"

Zhou Xi still shook his head: "I don't know, I didn't dare to show up that day. The people from the Demon Sect already knew that my father and I escaped, so they paid attention to our movements. The Demon Sect ordered the city to be searched, and half of them wanted to find our hiding place."

He paused, suddenly remembered something: "Is it him?"

When Lin Tao heard that Zhou Huo also escaped, he felt a little unhappy.

He had a very bad impression of Zhou Huo. Not only did he humiliated Zhou Liangyu and the others in public, but his inaction towards the Demon Sect. Anyway, no matter what, Zhou Huo is not a good thing in his eyes.

"Your father escaped, too?" Lin Tao asked subconsciously.

Zhou Xi nodded: "My father didn't show up. The person who gave me the notes said that I was allowed to come out alone tonight."

Lin Tao thought about it and asked, "I'm very curious, how did you escape from the Demon Sect's net?"

Zhou Xi fell into deep thought and said, "That day someone helped us resist the Demon Sect for a while, and we escaped."

"Who is that person?"

Zhou Xi shook his head, "I don't know, it's too dark, I can't see the specific appearance of that person, but I must be unaware of it. That person's martial arts is very strange, and his cultivation is not low."

Lin Tao now understood, the key was that the person Zhou Xi mentioned was that he not only saved Zhou Xi and Zhou Huo, but also secretly assassinated the Demon Sect's death warrior. Even the murderer Lin Tao was also the same person.

He also made Lin Tao and Zhou Xi here, but he has not shown up yet. What the hell is he doing?

"You two have arrived." The silence in front of you was broken by an old voice.

The man didn't know when, in front of Lin Tao and the others, as if he was standing there and had never moved.

Lin Tao looked at the man's appearance, his facial features were almost twisted together, like clothes that had just been wrung out, eyes, nose, mouth, ears, and almost no organ looks normal.

The first impression he gave was that the facial features on this person's face were pieced together by different people, and none of them belonged to him.

Zhou Xi recognized him at a glance. He was his savior and he had to recognize him when he stepped forward.

Lin Tao stopped him, looked at the man coldly, and asked him: "What is your purpose?"

"My purpose is the same as you." The man said to Lin Tao.

"Do you know what I'm going to do?" Lin Tao asked back, suspected that the old man seemed to be placing his words.

"Now, Linjin City is in danger of being overwhelmed. The leader of the Zhengfa Sect, with three hundred elite soldiers, was hesitant outside the city. If the Demon Sect reinforces at this time, Linjin City will inevitably be lost, and the entire eastern part of the Zhou Kingdom will be in danger."

"So," said the ugly old man slowly, "You are like me now, wanting to reactivate the array eye so that the Dharma Sect has a chance to enter."

He continued: "But, I can't do it on my own, so I'll bring you together. Zhou Xi is the heir to the Zhou family, and he is familiar with the position of the array eye. You, Lin Tao, are also the key to us entering the city lord's mansion."

Lin Tao finally understood the old man’s true intentions. He took a deep breath. The amount of information was too large and it was difficult to accept for a while.

"Zhou Xi knows the location of the array eye, so you come to him. This is understandable, but why do you think of me? And, who the hell are you?" Lin Tao said almost in a roaring tone.

When Lin Tao saw this person, he felt that this person was both good and evil. He wanted to help the Zhengfazong regain Linjin City, but he ignored the lives and death of the people in the city.

The people in the city were killed 300 people, but his eyelids didn't twitch, and his ruthlessness was obvious.

But no matter what, he is most likely related to the Dharma-Sectarian School.

The ugly old man always had a expressionless face and said, "It's okay to tell you. I was invited by the girl from the Zhao family. Just like you, I am trapped in this city. You just need to know this."

The girl he mentioned in the Zhao family naturally refers to Zhao Mingting.
