In those years when I was a mortal and a demon

But at this moment, a roar was heard.

"Stop! Shi Man, you've crossed the line!"

As the voice rang out, several powerful auras instantly reached the bottom of the mountain. Then various magical power fluctuations roared together, and Lu Yuan soon felt the pressure from the Holy Magic Phase that was about to collapse ease.

Taking a closer look, they saw that there were five or six stone demons as huge as Shi Die and Shi Xiao at the bottom of the mountain. They raised their arms and tried to stop the thousand-foot-high peak from falling.

These new stone demons all had cultivation levels of at least the Demon Sect Stage, and the most powerful one was even in the late Demon Sect Stage.

"Get up!" The stone demon in the late stage of the Demon Sect shouted.

Then all the stone demons including Shi Die and Shi Xiao suddenly jumped up at the same time, and the thousand-foot-high mountain shook and was instantly blown away.

When Shi Man saw someone coming, he raised his hand and grabbed the thousand-foot-high mountain that was about to be blown away, stabilizing it in the air, and then casually threw it back behind him.

boom!

The valley shook violently again, and countless pieces of rubble and huge trees rolled down from the surrounding mountains. The stone demons watching the battle on the surrounding peaks were also shaken to the ground.

"Shi Man, I will fight you to the death today!" Shi Die, who had escaped, saw his residence in a mess. After a roar, he suddenly took out a token and sacrificed it.

Then he quickly cast a spell, and the token flashed with light, and the whole valley suddenly shook again. At the same time, the countless thousands of feet high peaks surrounding the valley slowly rotated, and there were signs of squeezing inwards.

Seeing this situation, the previously arrogant Shi Man also looked stern and seemed very afraid.

Formation?

Lu Yuan was shocked, but at the same time, he felt angry and secretly cursed Shi Die for not using it at the beginning.

But the next moment, Lu Yuan understood what was going on.

"Shi Die, no!" The new stone demon in the late stage of the Demon Sect suddenly raised his hand and pointed, and a stream of gray gas hit the token in the air.

The token wrapped in gray gas suddenly dimmed, and the surrounding mountains also stopped rotating. It seems that it is not that easy to activate the formation here.

"Brother Shi Hai, why are you stopping me!" Shi Die asked with a puzzled look on his face.

"Once the formation is activated, if Shi Man is really injured, the Great Elder will have to come here in person." The late-stage stone demon of the Demon Sect named Shi Hai warned with a serious face.

After hearing what Shi Hai said, Shi Die's eyes flashed with reluctance and she put the token away.

Shi Man, who was not far away, saw this and snorted fearlessly.

"Shi Man! Shi Die and Shi Xiao are now the Saint and Son of our clan. How can you be so cruel!" Shi Hai said angrily.

"Shi Hai, you are wrong. Shi Xiao has not yet advanced to the Demon Sect. He is not qualified to be the holy son of our clan." Shi Man retorted nonchalantly in the face of the accusations from his fellow clansmen.

"What about Shi Die? She has already advanced to the Devil Sect and is the daughter of the Third Elder. What do you think? Do you really think that you can do whatever you want just because the First Elder is backing you up?"

"Hmph! Shi Hai, you know that my father is the great elder of the clan, so why bother to meddle in other people's business!" Shi Man sneered and did not answer any of Shi Hai's questions.

"You!" The late-stage stone demon named Shi Hai was furious, but he had no way to deal with Shi Man.

Because Shi Man is not only stronger than him in cultivation, but also has an extremely noble status.

"My Lords! The Great Elder wants you to go to the Temple!"

At this time, a patrol team flew over from a distance, led by a divine general, Stone Demon, who carefully spoke to everyone in the valley.

"I know, it's annoying!" Shi Man muttered, then glanced at everyone and left first.

"What exactly is going on?" Shi Hai asked Shi Die and the others after Shi Man left.

"It's like this..." Shi Die calmed down a little and then briefly recounted what happened.

"Shi Man asked the two of them to help him overcome the great heavenly tribulation?" Shi Hai glanced at Lu Yuan and Niu Yin.

"Impossible. Shi Man's great calamity is indeed approaching, but if we use secret techniques to delay it, it can be postponed for at least a hundred years.

Moreover, with Shi Man's current cultivation, if he borrowed the pure earth attribute power in the Shilun Holy Land, even if it was dangerous to go through the great heavenly tribulation now, it would at most consume his vitality, and it would not cost Shi Man his life.

I guess this is probably an excuse made by Shi Man, who actually wants to take advantage of the opportunity to seize your Shi Lun power." Shi Hai thought for a while, and suddenly reminded Shi Xiao.

"Hmph! I knew he had no good intentions when he came to my door this time, but I never thought he would dare to attack me so blatantly in the Holy City!" Shi Xiao said gritting his teeth.

"I think it's probably because the last time my father came back to the tribe, he didn't have a pleasant conversation with the Great Elder about the Holy Sacrifice. In addition, Brother Xiao and I awakened the Shilun Totem, so the Great Elder called Shi Man back to check and balance us.

Otherwise, with such a big commotion just now, he should have shown up to stop it. Now he wants us to go to the temple, he must have bad intentions!" Shi Die's words were full of dissatisfaction with the "Great Elder".

After listening to the conversation between the three people, Lu Yuan couldn't help but frown. It seemed that today's incident was also related to the factional disputes within the Stone Demon Clan.

The so-called 'Great Elder' is in cahoots with Shi Man. Shi Die, Shi Xiao, and the so-called 'Third Elder' should have some disagreements with the Great Elder.

"Just grumble in front of me, but don't get angry when you get to the temple. Let's go. In front of all the ancestors in the temple, the Great Elder can't be too obvious in protecting Shi Man.

And if you don't go, it will appear disrespectful to the Great Elder, and it will give Shi Man an excuse to attack again." Shi Hai sighed and smiled bitterly.

"Okay, then what about these two fellow Taoists?" Shi Die nodded and asked, pointing at Lu Yuan and Niu Yin.

"After all, they are somewhat involved with what happened today, so let's go together." Shi Hai glanced at Lu Yuan and Niu Yin in the distance, thought for a while and said.

"This is a dispute among your Stone Demon Clan. It's not convenient for me, an outsider, to get involved in it, so I'll just stay out of it." Niu Yin obviously didn't want to get involved in the dispute among the Stone Demon Clan, and spoke up to express his desire to get out of it as soon as possible.

"What? Do you want us to take you there?" Shi Hai glanced at Niu Yin coldly.

"Uh..." Niu Yin looked at Shi Hai and several other stone demons in the Demon Sect stage whose cultivation was higher than his. His face turned pale and he stopped talking.

"My two fellow Taoists, you are forbidden to take action in our temple. You can be sure of your safety." Shi Die said somewhat embarrassedly.

Lu Yuan looked at the stone demons standing around him and Niu Yin casually, and knew that he couldn't leave even if he wanted to. He could only smile bitterly and nodded to Shi Die.
