The central square of the cella area.

Battle platforms stand one after another, with tens of thousands of people gathered here.

The noisy sound is like a mountain torrent and tsunami, shocking!

A huge light curtain was suspended in the sky above the square.

On the light curtain, names appeared one by one, and the order of their arrangement seemed to be the ranking list of the inner hall disciples in this hall competition.

However, at this moment, the names on the light screen were jumping non-stop as the palace competition progressed fiercely.

Such a lively scene requires an extremely large number of deacons.

Some of the deacons took advantage of the chaotic crowd and quietly dispersed.

They also changed their attire into the uniforms of Dark Temple disciples, and moved swiftly among the various palaces and pavilions.

The main task of these people is obviously not to maintain order, but to take this opportunity to secretly investigate Di Yao's whereabouts.

Tao Ling is one of them.

At this moment, she was wearing the black tights of an inner hall disciple, which perfectly outlined her graceful figure.

Compared with the usual deacon's white robe, it has a different flavor.

The man who teamed up with Tao Ling was also a white-robed deacon.

He used to be a disciple of the Dark Temple, and later passed the assessment of the Deacon Hall and became a true deacon.

With his previous identity, he is extremely familiar with the area of ​​the Dark Temple, so it is very suitable to let him lead the way.

"Brother Zhou Jin, are you sure that the mountains to the north of the island are where Di Yao is hiding?"

Along the way, Tao Ling looked at the slightly pale man next to her with curiosity.

"Well, according to my former spies in the Dark Palace Sect, this news should be true."

Zhou Jin nodded and said in a low voice: "However, before we confirm the truth, don't alert the enemy for now."

"So, this time, we should go and find out the truth first, and then report to our superiors. We will definitely make it difficult for that guy to escape!"

Hearing this, Tao Ling's eyes flashed, and she felt the pleasure of killing the pervert with her own hands.

"By the way, to prevent others from noticing anything unusual, have you sealed your sound transmission talismans?"

Zhou Jin suddenly stopped and reminded.

"Don't worry, I still understand these basic common sense."

Tao Ling blinked her beautiful eyes and smiled.

After saying that, she swept her body and continued to move forward towards the north.

"She is indeed a beauty."

Looking at the graceful figure in front of him, Zhou Jin narrowed his eyes and secretly praised in his heart.

"No wonder Senior Brother Di likes her."

Immediately, a sinister smile slowly appeared on the corner of his mouth.

The righteous and awe-inspiring look he had before was completely gone at this moment.

whoosh——!

Not long after the two left, a tiny black shadow suddenly appeared in the area.

This black shadow was none other than Jing Ke.

Its cold eyes swept around, quickly locked onto the north, and quickly rushed away.

As we go north, the densely packed temples gradually become sparse.

In the view ahead, there are towering mountains and green trees everywhere.

This mountain range is obviously Di Yao's hiding place.

Although it is sparsely populated, it is home to many powerful monsters.

From deep within the mountains, fierce roars of beasts could be heard from time to time, filling the air with a sense of danger.

"So remote?"

With the help of Jing Ke's shared vision, all the surrounding scenes were transmitted to Lin Hao's mind.

Looking at the sparsely populated forest, he couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

Lin Hao didn't dare to guarantee that Jing Ke could find Tao Ling just by smell.

To ensure that everything was safe, he followed the crowd and came to the competition venue in the central square.

However, here, wherever you look, there are crowds of people.

All kinds of noise filled the entire square!

Even with the sound transmission talisman, finding Tao Ling from it is as difficult as sifting through sand in the waves.

"Boss, what are we doing here?"

Seeing such a lively scene, Xiaobai looked curious.

Then it jumped onto Lin Hao's shoulder and looked towards the arenas in the center of the square.

"Looking for someone."

Lin Hao said calmly, his eyes also looking towards the central area.

However, the inner hall disciples on the stage all had powerful auras, and they displayed various martial arts moves at will.

“Bang, bang, bang!!!”

The sweeping energy fluctuations caused the surrounding formation protection shields to tremble violently.

Compared with the competition in the Hundred Colleges Contest, the battles here are obviously more exciting.

Lin Hao couldn't help but sigh in his heart about this.

No wonder most of these disciples of the temple are disdainful of the Hundred Colleges Competition in the outside world.

Looking at the fierce battle scene, Lin Hao clenched his fists and glanced at the ranking battle light curtain in the sky.

If I were to go on stage and compete with these inner hall disciples of the Dark Temple, I wonder what level of ranking I would be able to get?

"Master, I found it."

While Lin Hao was daydreaming, Jing Ke's voice came into his mind.

At that moment, his mind moved slightly, and he started sharing vision with Jing Ke again.

In the field of vision, two figures appeared in the dense forest path.

A man and a woman.

They were all wearing the attire of disciples of the Dian Sect.

That woman was obviously Tao Ling.

"Is the prey hiding in the forest?"

Looking at Tao Ling and the other person who were moving forward quietly, Lin Hao thought and a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.

Judging from the actions of Tao Ling and the male deacon, he guessed that the two of them were just going there to test the situation.

If Di Yao is discovered, they will inform other deacons and masters to start a capture.

"We must kill that guy before we are rounded up!"

With a change of mind, Lin Hao turned and walked to the corner outside the square, quietly summoned the Mantis King, and asked him to go and assist Jing Ke immediately.

This is because once he is captured by the Deacons' Hall, the bounty mission he has accepted will be automatically invalidated.

A bounty of 20,000 dedication points is equivalent to two million Lingyang Stones.

Naturally, Lin Hao was unwilling to give up such a huge sum of money!

Just like that, under such close surveillance, two figures were seen in front of them, flying deep into the mountains.

He stopped moving forward not far from a cave, then blocked his breath and hid on a giant tree.

"According to the information I have, Di Yao is most likely hiding in that cave."

Zhou Jin said in a low voice: "The news is absolutely reliable."

Hearing this, Tao Ling nodded silently.

But on second thought, she felt something was wrong.

"Brother Zhou, since your information is reliable, why didn't you call more people over this time, and only bring me along?"

Tao Ling turned around and looked at Zhou Jin who was standing on the tree branch next to him, and couldn't help but ask.

"Because Senior Brother Di Yao only wanted you."

Sensing Tao Ling's suspicion, Zhou Jin stopped pretending and a sinister smile appeared on his face.

"Senior Brother Di Yao?!"

Hearing this, Tao Ling's face changed drastically, and he finally realized that he had fallen into a trap.

At that moment, she didn't even think about it and quickly retreated.

Buzz——!

However, at this moment, the surrounding runes flickered, and a light curtain of formation suddenly appeared, instantly covering the area of ​​dozens of feet in radius.
