Lin Bai had always thought that the reason he and Tang Wei had been teleported to the Ten Thousand Demon Corpse Cave was that the teleportation-array Grand Elder had acted on the Grand Elder's orders and deliberately altered the array's destination.

Those words from Lin Bai had continued to linger in Zhou Xinjin's heart.
"Could it be... that Lin Bai really isn't the murderer?" Zhou Xinjin let out a bitter sigh before returning to the Tianshui
