A Demon’s Path

When the four walked out of the hotel, the fighting on the street was over, but the mopping up work was not yet complete.

The streets were filled with gunpowder smoke after the fierce battle, and under the blowing of the morning wind, there was a pungent smell everywhere, making it uncomfortable to breathe.

On the ground, every few miles there are corpses of golden armored warriors one after another, and the whole White Mist City looks like a mass grave.

Last night, Ling Xiao and the others hid in a room protected by a large formation, and they neither heard nor saw what happened outside. Looking at the White Mist City after the war, one can imagine how fierce the fierce battle was last night.

"How to distinguish the golden armored warriors in the Tower of Gods and Demons from the golden armored warriors in these cities?" Ling Xiao asked Yao Wan while walking and watching.

Anyway, this is not a secret, Yao Wan told Ling Xiao very straightforwardly: "Our golden armor has been tempered with holy fire and baptized with holy water, which can resist poison and high temperature, which is not on the golden armor of these city warriors."

Ling Xiao rolled her eyes, Yao Wan knew what Ling Xiao wanted to know, and then said: "Of course, if we want to distinguish it from the appearance, our golden helmets are generally pointed, like the top of the tower of gods and demons, while Theirs is a dome."

Fang Hongzhao had always doubted Yao Wan's identity. When he heard Yao Wan say "we" in person, his face still changed: "You really are from the Tower of Gods and Demons!"

Ling Xiao chuckled, patted Fang Hongzhao on the shoulder and said, "Xiao Fang, don't be so nervous."

Out of the inexplicable sense of trust in Ling Xiao, Fang Hongzhao didn't care about Yao Wan's identity, but that thorn still remained in his heart.

Over the years, countless of his companions died at the hands of the Tower of Gods and Demons, and the Tower of Gods and Demons even caused his most respected brother Lu Zhan to betray him, which made him feel bad about the Tower of Gods and Demons.

The so-called "hate the house and the crow", Fang Hongzhao naturally retains a bit of vigilance and disgust towards Yao Wan who was born in the Tower of Gods and Demons.

Ling Xiao didn't have the heart to take Fang Hongzhao's thoughts into consideration. He was silently counting how many of the corpses on the street belonged to White Mist City, and how many belonged to the Tower of Gods and Demons.

After a rough estimate, the loss on the side of the Tower of Gods and Demons seems to be twice as large. This result makes Ling Xiao very happy.

This kind of simple provocative trick is done in one go, Ling Xiao "appreciates" the IQ of those "soldier brothers" very much.

Of course, what Ling Xiao really appreciates about them is the captain of the first team in White Mist City who is willing to take the risk of being held accountable to stand up for his younger brother. Such friends and bosses are really rare.

In fact, Ling Xiao is the same kind of person as the other party in this respect, but he didn't realize it.

"Okay, before they recover, let's talk about it after we leave this city." Ling Xiao walked towards the west gate.

Suddenly, Ling Xiao seemed to have thought of something, and stopped in her tracks: "Xiao Fang, why were there so few people in the stronghold last night?"

Fang Hongzhao explained: "Because Master Nalan was attacked in Bailu City, almost all our soldiers went to Bailu City to protect Master Nalan through the teleportation array."

Hearing what Fang Hongzhao said, Ling Xiao suddenly smiled, turned around and walked towards the city gate in the opposite direction.

Yao Wan was taken aback: "What are you doing? Do you want to go back to Bailu City?"

Ling Xiao didn't even look back, and continued walking forward: "Exactly. After meeting Nalan Jie, maybe I will find the person I'm looking for."

At this time, there was a commotion in the hall of the City Lord's Mansion in White Mist City.

The body of the city defender named Lu Han was placed in the middle of the hall of the city lord's mansion. His family wept bitterly while accusing the leader of the priests of Baiwu City, Yuan Jiaxin, for killing their relatives.

Yuan Jiaxin is so angry, he has no grudges against the other party, why did the other party frame him?

"City Master Bai, don't you think this is a bit strange?" Yuan Jiaxin was so angry that his subordinates were first attacked by soldiers of Baiwu City for no reason, and now they were framed by the other party.

However, he had to swallow his anger, because their search operation violated the agreement between the Tower of Gods and Demons and the Bai Family of the Four Great Families, so he could only patiently explain to the Lord of Baiwu City: "If I really kill Your people, how could I leave these alive and let them testify against me?"

A middle-aged man with a short beard was sitting on a chair in the middle of the hall. He was wearing a purple-gold hair bridle and a white silky robe. His attire was simple yet dignified.

This person is Bai Yuan, the lord of Baiwu City, and a collateral disciple of the Bai family in the East Continent of the Four Great Aristocratic Families. To be appointed as the city lord is naturally not an ordinary person.

The relationship between the Tower of Gods and Demons and the major families is in a tense period, and Bai Yuan doesn't want to make things big. However, he is not willing to fall into the prestige of their Bai family.

Therefore, he insisted on only asking Yuan Jiaxin to answer his two questions: "Priest Yuan, those words, please explain, who are you looking for? Also, are the scars on the corpses of my soldiers yours?" It was caused by the priest of the tower of gods and demons."

Yuan Jiaxin is so angry, the devil knows why the guy who died inexplicably has the scar of "Holy Soul Power".

He couldn't explain it because it was impossible for someone who hadn't been baptized in the holy water of the Tower of Gods and Demons to make such an attack.

And those who have been baptized with the holy water of the Tower of Gods and Demons are absolutely not allowed to join the forces of various families, otherwise they will be sentenced to death.

Therefore, if this person was not newly killed by his Yuan family, he could only be blamed on him.

What's more, he and Bai Yuan searched the souls of Lu Han's relatives at the same time, proving that they were not lying, which made Yuan Jiaxin unable to argue.

The only thing he can explain is that if he wants to keep people from knowing, it is impossible for those people to be kept alive.

But now that Bai Yuan is pressing hard, what else can Yuan Jiaxin do other than keep silent and refuse to admit it?

Seeing that Yuan Jiaxin was going to deal with him with shamelessness, Bai Yuan sneered and said, "Since Priest Yuan can't explain it, I have to inform my uncle and let him have a good talk with the noble Lord of Soul of the Tower of Gods and Demons... ..."

"Okay!" Yuan Jiaxin went through a hard struggle in his heart, weighed the stakes, and had to confess the truth bitterly: "Last night we met a man who was holding a god-slaying sword in the stronghold of the alliance of gods and demons. , this priest is looking for them with the power of the whole city."

Bai Yuan snorted again: "Tu Shen? How can you be opponents who own the Tu Shen? Don't use such words to fool the city lord!"

Yuan Jiaxin became ruthless, widened his eyes and said: "This priest swears to the Lord of Soul in the name of the soul, if what he says is false, he will be destroyed!"

Seeing Yuan Jiaxin make such a poisonous oath, Bai Yuan knew that what he said was true, so he showed a solemn expression and fell into deep thought.

After a while, Bai Yuan immediately issued an order: "Send the order of the city lord to send over the images of all the people who have entered the city in the past few days. In addition, the whole city is under martial law, and no one is allowed to enter or leave Baiwu City!"

After a while, the images of the three of Ling Xiao appeared in front of Bai Yuan and Yuan Jiaxin. Yuan Jiaxin pointed at Ling Xiao excitedly and said, "It is a man and a woman among these three!"

Wang Qiang, who guarded the city gate with Lu Han, also immediately shouted: "I remember them, they entered the city yesterday!"

That image not only showed Ling Xiao and the others, but also showed everything that the two dark cloud bees had done to Lu Han and Wang Qiang at a glance.

"It turns out that guy found Lu Han by using the dark cloud mad bee's breath-tracking skills!" Bai Yuan's brows tightened. Could it be that the other party's behavior was premeditated, and he wanted to make the tower of gods and demons and Bai Yuan Home Rush?

Wang Qiang broke out in a cold sweat, if it wasn't for Lu Han who died yesterday, then he would be the one who died.

Inadvertently walking through the gate of hell, Wang Qiang secretly rejoiced that he had accumulated more virtue because he flirted with women from good families less than Lu Han on weekdays.

The captain of the first team knew that he was being reckless, and immediately knelt down towards Bai Yuan with a plop: "My lord, the subordinates are responsible for all the responsibility. It is the subordinates who are reckless, and it has nothing to do with other brothers. Please punish the city lord!"

Bai Yuan waved his hand, but his eyes looked at Yuan Jiaxin with deep meaning: "Forget it, you are not to blame for this matter. I don't think Priest Yuan will blame him either, right?"

"No, no." Yuan Jiaxin twitched his face a few times, and replied awkwardly. He had a ghost in his heart, even if more than half of his subordinates were killed by the soldiers of Baiwu City, he could only swallow this breath forcefully.

"That's good." After Bai Yuan resolved the conflict, he passed on Ling Xiao's image: "Notify the whole city that these three people are wanted!"

"There is another beggar!" Yuan Jiaxin immediately added: "That guy is their accomplice!"

Bai Yuan coughed twice, and Yuan Jiaxin realized that he was too excited, and quickly restrained himself.

After a while, the phantom of a soldier guarding the city appeared in front of everyone in the hall of the city lord's mansion: "City lord, four people left the city just now, and three of them have similar figures, but their faces are nothing like it."

Bai Yuan had a premonition in his heart and said, "Send their portraits!"

"Yes, the city lord!" The soldier guarding the city immediately passed the appearances of Ling Xiao and the other four in disguise with soul stones.

Although they had put on makeup, Yuan Jiaxin recognized Ling Xiao at a glance: "It's them! City Lord Bai, we must catch these guys!"

Without Yuan Jiaxin's identification, with Bai Yuan's eyes, he can naturally recognize Ling Xiao's disguise.

Seeing that Yuan Jiaxin was so excited, Bai Yuan couldn't help saying coldly: "Priest Yuan, if you hadn't been delaying the timing, would these four people have a chance to leave my White Mist City? Go after them now, I'm afraid they won't be able to catch up?"

Although he didn't want to admit it, Yuan Jiaxin still agreed with Bai Yuan's statement, his whole head drooped all of a sudden, like a domestic dog that has made a mistake.

After contemplating for a while, Bai Yuan suddenly remembered something, pointed to the images of Ling Xiao, Yao Wan and Ling Shiyu and said: "Priest Yuan, among these three people, one of them must be from the Tower of Gods and Demons. Do you have any help?" How to find out their identities?"

Yuan Jiaxin's eyes lit up immediately, and a cruel smile appeared on his face: "No problem, hehe. As long as they are people from the Tower of Gods and Demons, they will definitely not be able to escape the search of Towers of Gods and Demons!"
