Soon after leaving Tianlong Square, Li Aotian, who had changed his appearance again, came to the Xiaoyao Inn opened by the Zhou family in the north of the city, and saw Zhou Tao, father and son, who had been waiting for a long time, from a guest room.

"What's the situation, but there's news from the Witch Sect?"

As soon as he saw Zhou Tao's father and son, Li Aotian went straight to the point.

"Master, there is no important news about the Wumen at the moment, but there are other important situations that I think are very necessary to tell you. ”

Zhou Tao said with a serious expression.

"What's important outside of the Witch Gate? ”

Hearing that it was not related to Wumen, Li Aotian was slightly disappointed, but he did not stop Zhou Tao from continuing.

"That's right, according to the latest information that my Zhou family has gotten, just last night, the Earth Demon Sect and the Heavenly Sword Sect among the ten major sects secretly sent a large number of elite disciples to sneak into the city. ”

"After the elite disciples of these two major sects entered the city, they have now quietly lurked around the Dragon Mansion, and it seems that they should be preparing to wait for an opportunity to attack the Long family. ”

"In addition to the changes in the Earth Demon Sect and the Heavenly Sword Sect, there is an even more strange thing, early this morning, the eight major families of the ten major families, including Xu, Shi, Ji, Li, Jiang, Nangong, Ouyang and Situ, actually withdrew from Tianlong City in batches through the teleportation array. ”

Zhou Tao said two more secret news in a row.

"What? You said that the Eight Great Families are secretly evacuating people from Celestial Dragon City, is this news accurate?"

Regarding the matter of the Earth Demon Sect and the Qingtian Sword Sect's disciples entering the city, Li Aotian did not show too much surprise, but was particularly concerned about the secret withdrawal of the eight major families.

"Absolutely accurate, although the Eight Great Families withdrew the disciples of each clan from the city in batches, all of this is under the surveillance of my Zhou family."

"Now the people left in the city by the eight major families are less than one-tenth of what they were before, except for the head of the family and a few elders who have cultivated a little stronger, there are only a small number of elite disciples with excellent cultivation talents left, and as for those guards or something, they have all been withdrawn. ”

Zhou Tao said with great certainty.

"How could this happen, the Ten Clans Grand Meeting is only halfway through, and the real highlight of the Ten Clans Auction Conference has not yet begun, and they actually withdrew most of the clansmen in advance..."

"Zhou Tao, do you know where the people who withdrew from the Eight Great Families have gone?"

After thinking for a moment, Li Aotian asked carefully.

"I don't know much about this, I only know that some of them teleported away through the teleportation array, and some of them left through the four gates of the east, west, north and south. ”

"I'm sorry Master, because there are too many of them and they are too scattered, plus they are out of Tianlong City again, so we really can't continue to investigate further. ”

Zhou Tao said with a little self-reproach.

"I don't blame you, after all, this Tianlong City is not your Zhou family's territory, and it is already very good that you can hear so much. ”

patting Zhou Tao on the shoulder, Li Aotian smiled and comforted.

"Senior Li, I see that you are more concerned about the affairs of the Eight Great Families, why don't you care about the affairs of the Earth Demon Sect and the Heavenly Sword Sect at all?"

Zhou Zhaohong, who had never spoken, couldn't help but ask.

"It's very simple, because I have long known that the Earth Demon Sect and the Heavenly Sword Sect will move. ”

"You are all not outsiders, let me tell you a piece of news, tonight, I will unite the Heavenly Sword Sect and the Earth Demon Sect to deal with the Long family, if everything goes well, the Long family will be completely removed from the cultivation world tonight!"

Li Aotian did not hide it from Zhou Zhaohong and his son, he told his plan for tonight.

"What, Master, you're going to make a move against the Long family tonight, or join forces with the Earth Demon Sect and the Heavenly Sword Sect, it's too sudden!"

As soon as he heard what Li Aotian said, Zhou Tao's face suddenly changed greatly, and his father Zhou Zhaohong was no better, and his mouth grew in shock.

"Suddenly, this is called a surprise attack, the Long family will hold a supreme auction tonight, they definitely didn't expect that we would choose to make a sudden move at this time. ”

"The only thing I'm worried about now is why the Eight Great Families chose to withdraw a large number of clansmen from Heavenly Dragon City at this time, this is too unreasonable..."

Li Aotian couldn't figure it out.

"Could it be that the Eight Great Families have already sensed that the Earth Demon Sect and the Heavenly Sword Sect are going to make a big move, and in order to avoid being involved, they have withdrawn their clansmen from Heavenly Dragon City in advance. ”

Zhou Tao guessed out of thin air.

"It's impossible, others won't say it, the Xu Shi family and the Long family are allies, if they really know the intentions of the Earth Demon Sect and the Qingtian Sword Sect, they will definitely stay to help the Long family, and it will never be possible to withdraw people from the city. ”

"As for the other six major families such as the Ji family, because they are already hostile to the Long family, if they really know that the Earth Demon Sect and the Heavenly Sword Sect are going to deal with the Long family, they will definitely want to stay and get a piece of the pie, and it is impossible for them to take the initiative to evacuate. ”

Regarding Zhou Tao's speculation, Li Aotian directly denied it.

"Hey, Senior Li, do you say that there is such a possibility, because the Eight Great Families have received some kind of threat from within the city, so they have to withdraw most of the clansmen from Tianlong City. ”

Zhou Zhaohong suddenly guessed.

"Father, I don't think it's possible, because in Tianlong City, there are no people and forces that can threaten the eight major families at the same time, even if it is the Long family, I think it's enough to hang. ”

"Besides, it definitely can't be the Long family, because if it is really threatened by the Long family, then there is no need for the Xu family and the Shi family to withdraw, they and the Long family, it is in the same boat. ”

Without waiting for Li Aotian to speak, Zhou Tao took the first step and said.

"Zhou Tao, although your thoughts have some truth, but they are not all right, who said that in Tianlong City, except for the Long family, there is no force that can threaten the eight major families, have you forgotten the Wumen?"

Li Aotian corrected.

"Wumen? No, Master, the main force of Wumen in the city is a Seven Killing Hall, and the Seven Killing Hall has been destroyed by you, even if there are still some remnant forces, it won't be able to make much of a storm." ”

Zhou Tao was a little puzzled.

"I never said that there is only one Seven Killing Hall of Wumen in the city, like the Long Family and the Blood Killing Gate, aren't they all affiliated forces of Wumen. ”

"Besides, the Wumen is very hidden, in recent years, how many forces they have secretly developed, and how many people they have recruited, none of us know, let's just say that the Demon Sect, I had suspected it before, it was also subdued by the Wumen. ”

Li Aotian said meaningfully.

"Oh... I see, Master, what you mean is that the forces planted by the Wumen in Tianlong City are not only the Seven Killing Hall, the Blood Killing Sect and the Long Family, but there may also be other forces that we don't know about, right?"

Zhou Tao suddenly realized.

"That's right, that's what I meant, and if that's the case, then your father's guess just now is entirely possible, because as far as I know, the Seven Killing Hall was already under the idea of the Nine Great Families before it was destroyed. ”

"On the night when the Seven Killing Hall was destroyed, with the cooperation of the Long family and the Seven Killing Hall, except for the Wang family, the heads of the other eight major families in the Nine Great Families were all taken down by the people of the Seven Killing Hall, and the Yuan Shen Prohibition was forcibly planted. ”

"Think about it, why did the Wumen let the Seven Killing Halls' attack on the heads of the major families, didn't they just want to achieve the goal of controlling the eight major families, but they didn't expect that the Seven Killing Halls' would be destroyed that night. ”

"With the destruction of the Seven Killing Hall, if the Wumen wants to continue to achieve the goal of controlling the Eight Great Families, it is bound to send its subordinate forces to intervene in this matter, and at this time, the people of the Eight Great Families secretly evacuated Tianlong City, to say that there is nothing to do with it, I don't believe it. ”

Li Aotian carefully analyzed.

"It makes sense, if all this is really as analyzed by Senior Li, then everything is clear now, the people of the Eight Great Families suddenly withdrew from Tianlong City, this must be related to the Witch Sect. ”

"I just don't know what kind of relationship there is between the Eight Great Families and the Wumen, it is possible that the Eight Great Families have been actually controlled by the Wumen, and their people are evacuated from Tianlong City, that is the order of the Wumen. ”

"Of course, another possibility cannot be ruled out, that is, the eight major families do not want to become a subsidiary force of the Wumen, so in order to avoid the clansmen being killed, they let most of the clansmen withdraw from Tianlong City. ”

Zhou Zhaohong is also the head of the clan in the end, and according to Li Aotian's analysis, he summed up two different possibilities.

"It's a pity, we have a very limited understanding of the distribution of Wumen's power in the city, otherwise, we wouldn't be as confused as we are now, and we can't grasp anything. ”

Zhou Tao said helplessly.

"It's not your fault, Wumen is a powerful, cunning and insidious enemy, it is extremely hidden, not to mention your Zhou family, even the Star Alliance has not found much secret information about it for so long. ”

Li Aotian smiled and patted Zhou Tao's shoulder and said.

"Master, I..."

Zhou Tao was about to say something more about what Li Aotian said, but as soon as he opened his mouth, a communication jade talisman in his arms suddenly lit up with a dazzling white aura.

"Master, there's news again!"

Quickly took out the communication jade talisman from his arms, Zhou Tao said to Li Aotian excitedly, and then pasted the communication jade talisman on his eyebrows.

It didn't take much time for Zhou Tao to take the communication jade talisman from the center of his eyebrows, but his expression looked a little strange.

"What's wrong, what's going on?"

Seeing that Zhou Tao's expression was a little wrong, Li Aotian hurriedly asked.

"Master, things are getting more and more weird and complicated, according to the news just now, the Dao Monarch powerhouses of the eight major families have all rushed to the Long family before and after!"

Seeing Li Aotian asking, Zhou Tao hurriedly explained.

"It's all at the Long family, when is this happening?"

Li Aotian was surprised.

"Just half an hour ago, the eight of them, accompanied by the heads of various clans, entered the Dragon Mansion before and after, and they have not yet come out. ”

Zhou Tao said in detail.

"Wait, are you saying that the Dao Monarchs of the Eight Great Families entered the Dragon Mansion separately accompanied by their own family heads, instead of going in together?"

Li Aotian opened his mouth to confirm.

"That's right, that's it, how do I feel more and more that something is wrong!"

Zhou Tao said with a frown.

"What's wrong, this is about to happen, it's a big thing!"

Li Aotian seemed to have guessed something, and he muttered with an ugly face.

"Master, could it be the Long family... I want to take the opportunity to attack the Dao Monarch powerhouse of the Eight Great Families!"

Zhou Tao couldn't help but swallow dryly, and Zhou Zhaohong on the side also showed a shocked expression when he heard this.

"Wrong, it's not the Long family, it should be said that it is the Wumen, because only the Wumen has this strength, and it can take down the Daojun powerhouses of the eight major families at one time!"

Li Aotian shook his head and sighed bitterly.

"Master, do you mean being killed or being captured?"

Zhou Tao was a little uncertain.

"In the eyes of Wumen, there is no so-called captured, what happens to the eight people mainly depends on their attitude towards Wumen, if they choose to sincerely serve Wumen, then naturally they don't have to die, but if they would rather die than obey, then it will definitely be a death. ”

Li Aotian explained with a wry smile.

"Then I will let people continue to stare at the Long family to see if the eight people have come out of the Dragon Mansion alive in the end, if there is, it means that he and his family have completely surrendered to the Wumen. ”

Zhou Tao said, and hurriedly pasted the communication jade talisman on his eyebrows......
