The short-haired middle-aged man looked to be about forty or fifty years old, he was tall and had a short beard, and he had a bit of majesty that only a superior person had.

"Senior Li, let me introduce, this is my father Zhou Zhaohong, and he is also the current head of my Zhou family. ”

As soon as he returned to the cave, Zhou Tao introduced the short-haired middle-aged man next to Li Aotian to him.

"It's really the head of the Zhou family, you brought so many people here, are you planning to deal with me?"

After casually glancing at Zhou Zhaohong, Li Aotian said expressionlessly.

"Oh... Don't get me wrong, seniors, I... I'm just here to find a dog, and I don't mean to be an enemy of my predecessors. ”

Obviously, he learned Li Aotian's true identity from Zhou Tao's mouth, Zhou Zhaohong didn't dare to offend Li Aotian, and hurriedly denied it.

"Hmph, I hope you're telling the truth, speaking of which, I'm really a little curious, how did you find here?"

Li Aotian said a little strangely, the place he was looking for was already a short distance away from Feiyan City, and it had been two days, Zhou Zhaohong was able to bring someone to find it accurately, this ability, even Li Aotian himself did not have this ability.

In particular, Li Aotian also used the Forbidden God Banner to isolate the entire cave from the outside world, even if it was some secret techniques for tracking the aura, it should be impossible to track it here.

"It's... Senior's question, can I not answer it, because this is related to some secrets of my Zhou family, and it is not easy to make it public. “

Zhou Zhaohong's face was puzzled.

"I don't want to say it, okay, then you won't open your mouth again in your life!"

Li Aotian said, and the true yuan coercion of the Xuanwang in his body burst out without reservation, directly pressing on Zhou Zhaohong's body.

Under the pressure of Li Aotian's powerful True Yuan coercion, Zhou Zhaohong first let out a miserable scream, and then fell to the ground on his knees with his legs disobedient, his face distorted, and a large amount of cold sweat broke out on his forehead and back.

"Senior Li, be merciful!"

Unexpectedly, Li Aotian said that he would do it, and Zhou Tao hurriedly pleaded for Zhou Zhaohong.

"Can you say it now?"

didn't pay attention to Zhou Tao, Li Aotian looked down at Zhou Zhaohong condescendingly.

"Say, I said, the reason why I was able to find this place is because my Zhou family ancestors have a secret technique, called Beast Heart Tong, this secret technique can communicate with almost all birds and beasts that have not opened their minds, and can even forcibly control them. ”

Under Li Aotian's strong oppression, although he was very reluctant in his heart, Zhou Zhaohong still told the secret of his finding this place.

"Beast Heart-to-Heart Communication?Can you communicate with birds and beasts that have not opened their minds?Is there still such a secret technique in the cultivation world?"

Hearing what Zhou Zhaohong said, Luo Yiling and Li Junhao couldn't help but change their faces, especially Luo Yiling, whose faces showed an extremely incredible look.

"I know you feel incredible, but this is indeed true, this is a secret technique passed down from the ancestors of my Zhou family, it is said that it was obtained in an ancient ruin, it is by relying on this secret technique, my Zhou family can gain a foothold in Feiyan City by collecting intelligence. ”

Seeing that Luo Yiling didn't believe it, Zhou Zhaohong hurriedly added.

"What kind of beast heart is it, does it have anything to do with gathering intelligence?"

Royling said puzzled.

"Of course it has a relationship, with the secret art of beast heart communication, but wherever there are birds and beasts, there are their eyeliner, I'm right, Lord Zhou. ”

Li Aotian stared at Zhou Zhaohong with a smile, and at the same time restrained the true yuan coercion on his body.

"What Senior Li said is basically good, but the strength of my Zhou family is still too thin, even if I have the secret technique of Beast Heart Tong in my hand, I can't make the eyeliner dense throughout the continent, and even the northwest of the dense Guhua Continent can't do it. ”

As Li Aotian reined in the coercion of Zhenyuan, Zhou Zhaohong suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and stood up on his own.

"That's not bad, no wonder you can gain a foothold in the cultivation world by gathering intelligence, and you can still find here. ”

"Don't talk nonsense, since your Zhou family's intelligence ability is so strong, then you should have heard a little bit about what happened to the Wang family recently. ”

Li Aotian cut straight to the point.

"What the predecessors are referring to is that after Wang Ying's cultivation was abolished, he recovered in a short period of time. ”

Zhou Zhaohong asked.

"Do you really know what's going on?" Li Aotian's eyes lit up.

Zhou Zhaohong shook his head: "No, I don't know, this is what Tao'er just told me, he said that the seniors were very puzzled about Wang Ying's affairs, and he also wanted to figure out the reason." ”

"I don't know, that means you're worthless here!"

Li Aotian's tone changed suddenly, and he became cold.

"Although I don't know the specific situation, the Wang family is indeed a little strange during this time, and the seniors may not know, in just one or two months, I have disappeared thousands of people in Feiyan City inexplicably, among which the existence of the Yuan Dan realm alone has reached more than forty people, and most of them are casual cultivators. ”

"Originally, in a cultivation city as big as Feiyan City, it was normal for someone to go missing, but as far as I know, these missing people are all more or less related to the Wang family. ”

Zhou Zhaohong said with a solemn expression.

"What you said has a relationship with the Wang family, what is the specific relationship?"

Li Aotian asked with a puzzled face.

"Hmm... For example, some of them disappeared from the inn under the name of the Wang family, some of them disappeared inexplicably after coming out of the shops under the name of the Wang family, and even more, after entering the shops under the name of the Wang family, they never came out again. ”

Zhou Zhaohong explained in detail.

"You mean, the Wang family used shady means to quietly murder thousands of people?"

Li Aotian said with a strange expression.

"Whether it was murder or not, I can't say for sure, but after these people disappeared, they never showed up again, and probably the number was far more than thousands, because this number is only what we know. ”

Zhou Zhaohong said in a low tone.

"How did you get this number?"

Li Aotian said a little strangely, it stands to reason that a second-rate cultivation city like Feiyan City, where hundreds of thousands of cultivators live, has lost thousands of people in a month or two, and it should be difficult to attract people's attention.

"The seniors forgot what my Zhou family relied on for food, someone disappeared inexplicably, their relatives and friends will naturally look for it, once they can't find it, some will come to my Zhou family to buy information to inquire about the whereabouts of those people. ”

"If it's a few cases of this kind of thing, forget it, but if there are thousands of cases of this kind of thing in a month or two, my Zhou family just doesn't have a brain, and they know that there are ghosts in it. ”

"According to the information provided by most of the people who came to buy intelligence, their relatives and friends had more or less something to do with the Wang family before they disappeared, so I dare to conclude that this matter must be related to the Wang family. ”

Zhou Zhaohong explained the cause and effect of the incident in detail.

"Do those who are missing have any common characteristics?"

Li Aotian hesitated for a moment and asked tentatively.

Zhou Zhaohong nodded hurriedly when he heard this: "Yes, those people's cultivation is above the Divine Wheel Realm, and they are all young and middle-aged men, not a single woman." ”

"It's kind of interesting, I think I should know how that guy Wang Ying recovered his cultivation!"

Li Aotian muttered with a cold glint in his eyes.

"Brother Li, how did Wang Ying recover his cultivation?"

Luo Yiling asked curiously.

"I don't know exactly how to recover, but it should have used some side tricks, and it's not an ordinary witchcraft, no wonder the magic used when Wang Ying and I fought that day was so weird, in this way, everything makes sense!"

Li Aotian muttered again.

"Senior, I know everything truthfully, can you raise your noble hand and let us go?"

Zhou Zhaohong asked tentatively.

"What's the hurry, I haven't finished asking yet, I'll ask you again, after Wang Ying was injured by me, what unusual actions did the Wang family have in the past two days?"

Li Aotian glanced at Zhou Zhaohong, and then continued to ask.

"There's nothing out of the ordinary, oh... By the way, tomorrow is the day of the marriage of Wang Ying and Miss Fengying of Fengling City, and the Wang family has been preparing for this matter for the past two days, and the entire palace looks very festive and very lively. ”

After thinking about it, Zhou Zhaohong said truthfully.

"Tomorrow to get married?

Li Junhao said with some surprise.

"Oh, I know this matter, this is not a coincidence, but the Feng family and the Wang family have long decided, and the Wang family has already publicized this in the city. ”

Zhou Tao suddenly interjected, looking a little lonely.

"Zhou Tao, you said at the Yanhong Inn that day, you are very interested in that wind shadow, right?"

Li Aotian suddenly asked Zhou Taodao.

"Alas, what's the use of being interested, people are going to get married tomorrow, and I can't do anything. ”

Zhou Tao sighed.

"You also said that people will not get married until tomorrow, and they haven't married yet, I have a little friendship with Fengying, I know that she must not be willing to marry Wang Ying, it should be due to the pressure of the family. ”

"If I can defeat the Wang family before they officially get married, their relatives will naturally not be able to become a family, then you won't have a chance. ”

Li Aotian said with a smile.

"Ah, that's... Is that really going to work?"

Zhou Tao was a little incredulous.

"Of course it works, are you questioning my strength?"

Li Aotian said with a cold face.

"Of course I'm not questioning Senior Li's strength, you even destroyed the Black Water Gate, let alone a mere Wang family. ”

"I can't believe it, Senior Li, you will actually help me. ”

Zhou Tao touched his head awkwardly and said.

"Didn't you say that I am the person you admire, since you admire me, and I happen to have a holiday with the Wang family, what does it matter if I send you a favor. ”

Li Aotian pretended to be generous.

"Senior, you're really not joking with me?"

Zhou Tao was obviously still a little incredulous, and he confirmed again.

"You are an old man, and you are worthy of me to joke with you, I am serious, you can say if you want to!"

Li Aotian said impatiently.

"Yes, of course I do, father, what do you say?"

Zhou Tao looked at Zhou Zhaohong beside him emotionally.

"Although the Feng family is far less powerful than before, but for now, it is still the largest family in Fengling City, if my Zhou family can marry the Feng family, this is naturally the best, and when the time comes, it will definitely be able to overpower the Wang family and become the first family in Feiyan City. ”

Looking at his son's emotional appearance, Zhou Zhaohong said with a smile.

"It's embarrassing to be the head of your Zhou family with such ambitions, alas, no wonder you have a secret technique like the Beast Heart, and you haven't been able to develop and grow until now. ”

Li Aotian shook his head in disappointment and said.

"Didn't the seniors have any advice?"

Hearing what Li Aotian said, Zhou Zhaohong couldn't help but ask.

"I like to say things directly, I don't like to beat around the bush, I can make your Zhou family directly become the number one family in Feiyan City tomorrow, and in a few years, even if it becomes a first-class family, it will not be a problem to even be among the top ten families. ”

"But the premise is that your Zhou family has to be attached to me and listen to my orders, what do you think?"

Facing Zhou Zhaohong's eyes, Li Aotian said with a bright eye.

"To be a first-class family... Ranked among the top 10 families... This... Is this possible?"

Zhou Zhaohong couldn't help but swallow dryly.

"Without me, it would never be possible, but with me, it is absolutely possible, and your Zhou family can find another way to be among the top ten families like the Wang family. ”

"The Wang family relies on business all over the mainland, why can't your Zhou family rely on the intelligence all over the continent to become one of the top ten families, you can think about it carefully. ”

Li Aotian said confidently.

"Don't think about it, I agree to Senior Li's request, as long as the senior can help my Zhou family, I can swear by my heart and demons, my Zhou family will definitely respect your orders for generations and never break my word!"

Zhou Zhaohong agreed without thinking, and at the same time showed a look of madness on his face......
