In those years when I was a mortal and a demon

"Great Elder, I was the one who invited these two people, and I had already informed my father about this matter when he left the clan several months ago." At the critical moment, Shi Die blocked Lu Yuan.

"In that case, it's up to you." When the old stone demon heard Shi Die's words, he frowned and retracted his gaze.

"Father, you are too biased towards them. Don't you know that my great tribulation is about to come?" Shi Man became dissatisfied.

"Of course I know, but I have found a treasure for you that can protect you from the heavenly tribulation. However, this treasure is in the hands of a demon lord from a foreign race, so I will leave the Holy City for a while later and go to him to borrow it to help you survive the great heavenly tribulation." The old stone demon said slowly.

"Treasure?" Shi Man asked in confusion, seeming very surprised.

"Great Elder, are you going to leave the Holy City?" Shi Hai and others on the other side stood up with a changed expression.

"Well, so during this period of time, all the affairs of the Holy City will be handled by you guys together. Remember not to cause any trouble for me!

And you two, don’t stay in the Holy City.” The old stone demon said at the end, glancing at Lu Yuan and Niu Yin, and his tone became cold and stern.

Lu Yuan and Niu Yin naturally did not dare to object and nodded in agreement.

"There is one more thing. A lot of Brother Xiao's Shilun power was taken away by Shi Man before. You can't just ignore it, Great Elder!" Shi Die asked coldly.

"The power of Shilun?" the old stone demon whispered.

Shi Man raised his eyelids and looked at the dome of the temple again, looking unmoved.

"Well, let's do Shi Man a favor regarding the power of Shi Lun. If Shi Man can comprehend some of the mysteries of the Shi Lun totem, it will also be a good thing for our Stone Demon Clan.

You should also know that other branches of the Stone Demons have a lot of opinions about us occupying the Holy City, and have been looking for opportunities to drive us out of the Stone Demon Mountains. "The old Stone Demon sighed and said to Shi Xiao with a helpless look.

Now that things had come to this, Shi Die and the others didn't know what to say, so they could only nod, suppressing their displeasure.

"Okay, everyone disperse. Shiman, come with me." The old stone demon said to Shiman expressionlessly.

Shi Man's eyes flashed, and after hesitating for a while, he walked silently to the old stone demon. Then the two of them disappeared in a dazzling light.

"Shi Die, I know you are very dissatisfied with the Great Elder's handling of the matter, but after all, today's matter has been explained, so let's stop here. And for you, Shi Xiao, the most important thing now is to go into seclusion and practice hard as soon as possible, and strive to advance to the Demon Sect as soon as possible. As long as you become a true Holy Son, if Shi Man attacks you again, it will be a violation of the clan rules." Shi Hai saw that Shi Die and the other man looked unhappy, and warned them with a serious face.

"As for you two, since the Great Elder doesn't want you to stay in the Holy City any longer, you'd better leave as soon as possible." Shi Hai turned his head and looked at Lu Yuan and Niu Yin again, his tone full of unquestionableness.

Hearing this, Lu Yuan rarely looked at Niu Yin, and they both saw agreement in each other's eyes.

Things have come to this point, the mountain giant is no longer important, the most important thing is to leave this dangerous place as soon as possible.

But just as the two were about to agree, Shi Die on the side spoke.

"I will arrange for them to leave, so I won't bother you, Brother Shi Hai."

"Okay... but they must leave within three days, otherwise the Shi Man will definitely take the opportunity to cause trouble again, and we won't be able to intervene then." Shi Hai hesitated for a moment, then called on the other stone demons to leave.

Next, Lu Yuan and his companions left the temple and returned to Shi Die's residence.

But as soon as he entered the valley, Shi Die immediately sacrificed the token that controlled the formation here. After a shaking, the surrounding thousand-foot peaks began to slowly rotate with the valley as the center.

"Fellow Daoist Shi, what do you mean? Since the Demon Lord Senior in your tribe asked us to leave, why did you activate the formation? Are you trying to trap Fellow Daoist Yuan and me?" Niu Yin asked with displeasure after noticing the sudden emergence of the forbidden power in those mountains, and even pulled Lu Yuan into the mix to take advantage of the situation.

"Fellow Daoist Niu, you have misunderstood. I will explain it to you two after the formation is fully activated."

Lu Yuan looked at the slowly rotating mountains. Although he didn't know much about the formation, he could feel that the restrictive power of the formation had no effect on him.

Moreover, even if Shi Die really had intentions of doing something bad to him, he could have joined forces with those fellow members of the Demon Sect to take action together long ago. There would have been no need to go to so much trouble.

"It's not that I misunderstood anything. It was already very obvious in the temple just now. You have a feud with the great elder of your clan, and I don't want to get involved in this matter." Niu Yin said coldly.

"Celebrate the festival? Brother Niu, you are too serious. It's just that the senior members of our clan have some differences of opinion on participating in the holy sacrifice. It's far from a fight to the death." Shi Die said disapprovingly.

"It's actually related to the Holy Sacrifice? I have also heard about the Holy Sacrifice, and our Thunder Ox Clan has also been recruited by the Blood Light Holy Ancestor." Niu Yin nodded in silence.

"Of course, if either of you wants to leave now, we two will never stop you. But I hope you can help us refine the true blood of the mountain giant before you leave." Shi Die said sincerely.

"It has come to this, are you two still planning to continue?" Niu Yin became puzzled.

"Why not? Anyway, the news of the mountain giant has not leaked out. Now we are fully capable of taking the two fellow Taoists into the holy land without anyone noticing." Shi Die said with a smile.

“Yes, we were a little worried before. Even if we use the teleportation ability of the Shilun Totem to enter the holy land, the great elder who controls the forbidden magic weapon of the holy land will most likely notice it.

But now that he is leaving the Holy City, the forbidden magic weapon in his hand will lose its effect because the distance is too far!" Shi Xiao said the key.

"Is there actually this reason?" Lu Yuan suddenly realized why Shi Xiao and the other man did not care about Shi Lun's power in the end.

"Hehe, you should know that except for the three elders who possess forbidden magical weapons, anyone else who wants to enter the Stone Demon Holy Land can only wait for the Shilun Trial which opens every three hundred years. Even Sister Die and I are no exception." Shi Xiao added.

Lu Yuan nodded. If that was the case, the risk would definitely be much smaller.

Seeing the excited looks on Lu Yuan and Niu Yin's faces, Shi Die took the opportunity to throw out a piece of news that they could not refuse.

"Now I have something else to tell you two fellow Taoists. The mountain giant who died in the holy land was at the level of a demon lord when he was alive!"
