Infinite Gate: I Became a Martial Saint from Another World

Listening to Cao Mengxin's answer, Zhou Hong remained silent.

After that, it took some time for the two to arrive at Zhou Hong's home.

Zhou Hong opened the door and said to Cao Mengxin, "Come in."

"Ah."

After responding, Cao Mengxin stepped into the house.

Afterwards, Zhou Hong, who was sitting on a stool, asked Cao Mengxin, who was sitting across the table, "What is the matter with you coming here this time?"

Hearing Zhou Hong's question, Cao Mengxin replied, "I came here this time to ask you about my husband Su Tong."

"Brother Su Tong's matter?"

"That's right!"

When mentioning Lei Sutong, Cao Mengxin's tone became anxious.

"Su Tong...hasn't been back for a long time."

"I went to your village to look for him, but County Magistrate Deng ordered people to seal off the place and forbid anyone to enter!"

After hearing what Cao Mengxin said, Zhou Hong's thoughts started to turn rapidly.

"The county magistrate of Yuxi County has sealed off the place?"

"Could it be that he also knows about the evil beast?"

Zhou Hong thought to himself, but this doesn't make sense, a county magistrate should not have access to such confidential information!

"I'm afraid City Lord Ren told him to do it."

Zhou Hong quickly thought of the answer, and he felt it was almost correct.

Without thinking any more, he continued to listen to Cao Mengxin's words.

"After that, I asked my father to ask around, and finally heard your name in Lianlongfu City, so I came to find you, Elder Zhou!"

Cao Mengxin had heard Zhou Hong's name from Lei Sutong and had also seen Zhou Hong, so she was able to find Zhou Hong based on this.

"So that's it!"

Zhou Hong had a look of sudden realization on his face.

"So, please tell me, what happened in Qingwan Village? Where is my husband Su Tong?"

Cao Mengxin looked at Zhou Hong eagerly, wanting to know the truth as soon as possible.

"Brother Su Tong...you really left me with a difficult problem!"

Zhou Hong thought so, then he stood up from the stool and paced back and forth around the table.

Seeing his appearance, Cao Mengxin also stood up and asked, "What's wrong?"

Hearing her words, Zhou Hong sighed, then asked hesitantly: "Do you... really want to know?"

Hearing Zhou Hong's question, Cao Meng's heart tightened. She sensed something was wrong from Zhou Hong's tone.

She calmed down for a moment, then said firmly: "Please tell me!"

"All right!"

Knowing the determination of the woman in front of him, Zhou Hong could only tell her the truth.

Then he said, "Brother Su Tong is...dead!"

Hearing this, Cao Meng's heart was struck by lightning. She took a few steps back and almost fell down.

"careful!"

Zhou Hong's figure was as fast as lightning. He quickly came to Cao Mengxin's side and held her steadily.

As a warrior, his lower body should be as stable as a rock, but at this moment Cao Mengxin felt like an ordinary person and his legs were weak.

Her legs were trembling, and she sat weakly on the stool with the help of Zhou Hong.

The next moment, tears welled up from her eyes, and sadness and grief surged like a violent storm.

The past scenes with Lei Sutong flashed through her mind. She could no longer hold back and began to cry with her face covered.

"Ugh!"

Zhou Hong sighed again, unable to say any words of comfort at this moment.

No matter what you say at this moment, it is powerless in the face of cruel reality!

Looking at Cao Mengxin who was crying with her face covered, Zhou Hong couldn't help but recall Lei Sutong.

If it hadn't been for his help, I wouldn't have been able to complete the task so easily when facing Su Qiao's matter.

It was through comparing himself with Lei Sutong that he realized his own shortcomings.

Unfortunately, Lei Sutong could never see his wife again!

Cao Mengxin was also a strong woman. After crying for a while, she finally vented most of the pain in her heart and stopped crying.

"Who killed him?"

Cao Mengxin asked.

As Lei Sutong was a warrior, it was impossible for him to die accidentally. He could only die in battle!

"A monster!"

Zhou Hong said.

"Strange...monster?"

Hearing Zhou Hong's answer, Cao Meng was stunned. She had thought of various identities of the murderer, but still had not thought of this possibility.

"I won't lie to you. Besides, for the sake of your child, don't go after that monster. It's not something you can handle!"

Zhou Hong said in a serious tone.

Hearing Zhou Hong's tone, Cao Mengxin was also analyzing the truthfulness of his words.

Then she said, "I don't know whether it's a monster or not. Even though you said so, Elder Zhou, I won't give up!"

Afterwards, Cao Mengxin said nothing more and left with steady steps.

Zhou Hong did not stop him. He knew that Cao Mengxin did not believe him, but the matter of the evil beast was too complicated. It involved the other side of this world and could not be explained in a few words!

"Ugh."

Zhou Hong sighed again, but a raging rage was burning in his heart!

Cao Mengxin's arrival awakened his memories of Qingwan Village. He remembered his master Li Yi. In the last battle in Qingwan Village, he was so powerless!

With just one strike, he was severely wounded by the evil beast and fell to the ground, unable to get up again!

He could only fall to the ground, helplessly watching the beast slaughter the villagers.

Just like a weak and powerless weakling!

His master, his fellow brothers, and everyone he knew were killed by that beast!

He didn't like this feeling, this feeling of being at the mercy of others, he never wanted to experience it again!

"Just wait, you beast! For my own sake and for the countless lives you have slaughtered, I will definitely kill you!"

"I will kill you like a pig to be slaughtered!"

Zhou Hong shouted in his heart.

At this moment, a new power emerged in Zhou Hong's heart. This power was quietly growing, and even Zhou Hong himself did not notice it!
