Chapter 887 Hidden Truth
Ye Zhou concentrated his mind and breathed, and began to restore his spiritual power.
A quarter of an hour later, a white light flew in from outside the courtyard and hovered in front of Ye Zhou.
Ye Zhou opened his eyes, raised his hand and pointed in the air, and Qi Rongyin's voice came out of the white light.
Ye Zhou had just sent a message to her to ask why the city was suddenly under martial law. Qi Rongyin told him that this matter was related to the demon cultivators in Hei Lao Mountain. The specific situation was not convenient to disclose now, and she told Ye Zhou not to leave the city unless necessary in the near future.
It seems that the cultivators sent by the City Lord's Mansion to investigate must have found something in Hei Lao Mountain.
Ye Zhou thought to himself.
Then Qi Rongyin mentioned Xu Zhuo. After Xu Zhuo was arrested that day, she knew that Ye Zhou had some friendship with Xu Zhuo, so she paid attention to Xu Zhuo's situation.
When Xu Zhuo and his companions were attacked by a demon cultivator in the Ghost Desert, Lin Yunshan and Chu Wu wanted to hold back the demon cultivator to buy time for Xu Zhuo and his companions to escape. Xu Zhuo and his companions immediately fled separately, but they never expected that the demon cultivator was very powerful and captured them all alive.
In order to rescue Lin Yunshan and his companions from the demon cultivator, Xu Zhuo offered to help the demon cultivator to deceive the cultivators of Xianliu City in exchange for Lin Yunshan and his companions. This was also the reason why Xu Zhuo insisted on joining the patrol team outside the city and sending Lin Xueer away after returning to the city.
During the first mission, Xu Zhuo wanted to lure several cultivators who went out of the city with him into the hands of the demon cultivator, but he never expected that something went wrong in the middle of the journey, and one of the cultivators saw some clues.
In order to avoid alerting the enemy, when the team encountered an insect attack, Xu Zhuo deliberately left the cultivator in the insect tide. He thought that the cultivator had already been killed by the insects, but he never thought that the cultivator was lucky enough to survive and returned to Xianliu City before Xu Zhuo, and informed the City Lord's Mansion that Xu Zhuo was a spy of the demon cultivator.
The City Lord's Mansion did not make this public, but secretly deployed defenses near Xu Zhuo's residence, waiting for Xu Zhuo to return to the city and fall into the trap.
Unexpectedly, something went wrong on the day of the arrest. Xu Zhuo fought hard and seriously injured two cultivators, and successfully broke through and escaped, but he still couldn't escape the pursuit of the City Lord's Mansion cultivators in the end.
After hearing this, Ye Zhou was silent for a long time, and all his thoughts finally turned into a sigh.
Unlike Ye Zhou, Xu Zhuo had known Lin Yunshan and others for a long time, and they had been through life and death many times. They were friends of life and death. It was normal for him to do so, but he shouldn't have attacked other innocent cultivators.
Qi Rongyin did not tell Ye Zhou how the City Lord's Mansion dealt with Xu Zhuo in the end, but Xu Zhuo colluded with the demon cultivators, and according to the rules of Xianliu City, he would definitely not survive.
After calming down a little, Ye Zhou returned to the small gourd, injected 300,000 medium-grade spirit stones into the Jiuxuan Star Shifting Formation, and began to practice the Heavenly Soul Art with the help of the Tianxuan Cold Soul Liquid.
Two days later, Ye Zhou opened his eyes and saw three empty jade bottles in front of him.
The next moment, Ye Zhou appeared in the small courtyard. Today he was going to go to the city market to exchange all the useless spiritual insect materials, magic weapons and other things on his body for spirit stones and spiritual plants.
After leaving the small courtyard, Ye Zhou went straight to the East Market.
Along the way, Ye Zhou found that the cultivators in the city were a little worried. In several teahouses on both sides of the street, many cultivators were talking about the movements of the demon cultivators outside the city. From what they said, the demon cultivators outside the city seemed to be ready to attack Xianliu City.
Ye Zhou's face darkened slightly. If the demon cultivator was going to attack Xianliu City, he had to leave as soon as possible, otherwise he would be trapped in the city and die with Xianliu City.
Thinking of this, Ye Zhou's pace quickened a bit, and in just half an hour, he arrived at Dongfang City.
