In those years when I was a mortal and a demon

"What! A mountain giant at the level of Demon Lord!" After hearing this, Lu Yuan and Niu Yin could no longer sit still, and both looked at Shi Die with changed expressions.

"I have engraved the image on it. If you don't believe it, you can take a look at it first." Shi Die seemed to have thought of something and raised his hand to throw out a piece of jade stone.

Then he cast a spell, and a shocking scene appeared immediately. It was a huge creature several hundred feet tall, like a mountain, leaning lifelessly against a thousand-foot-high peak.

"With such a large body, he must be a mountain giant at the level of a demon lord!"

Niu Yin exclaimed, his face full of excitement. If he could train it into a puppet body, it would be like having an extra Demon Lord-level fighter.

Lu Yuan standing aside also had a gleam in his eyes. With his current realm of being in the middle stage of the Demon Sect, he successfully refined the Mountain Giant into the fifth transformation. Although he could not exert the strength of the Demon Lord realm, he could possess a small part of the magical powers of the Mountain Giant.

"How about it, have you two made a decision now?" Shi Die looked at Lu Yuan and Niu Yin, and said with a hint of pride.

"A mountain giant at the level of Demon Lord is enough to offset the risk this time." Lu Yuan said solemnly.

"I'm willing to go too, Fellow Daoist Yuan. Although our previous thunder magic competition was accidentally interrupted by Shi Man, I had the upper hand at that time." Niu Yin looked at Lu Yuan carefully.

Previously, Lu Yuan and Shi Xiao were able to shake Shi Man's strength when they joined forces, which really made him extremely fearful.

"So what? Later, when Fellow Daoist Shi and the others were in danger, you didn't help them at all. And weren't you just now shouting that you wanted to leave as soon as possible?" Lu Yuan said coldly.

"Well, Fellow Daoist Shi, it wasn't that Niu was trying to protect himself at that time. It was really that my cultivation was too low and I couldn't get involved." Niu Yin hurriedly explained to Shi Die and the others.

"What Fellow Daoist Niu said makes sense, but Fellow Daoist Yuan did help Brother Xiao and me. But can't you two really try together? I believe that if you refine together, you will get twice the result with half the effort. After all, it's best not to delay too long before we enter the holy land this time." Shi Die asked in a soliciting tone.

"Well, I have a suggestion that can speed up the process of refining true blood and solve the problem of the ownership of the mountain giant's body." Lu Yuan thought for a while and suddenly spoke.

"Brother Yuan, what magic trick do you have?" Shi Xiao's face lit up with joy.

"So, this matter is of personal concern to the Holy Emperor." Niu Yin was somewhat skeptical.

"Let's compete again, but it won't be a simple show of thunder magic. Those before were just fancy moves. If we're going to compete, we'll have to compete with real skills. The two of us will follow Fellow Daoist Shi and the others into the holy land. Whoever refines more true blood will get the body of the mountain giant!" Lu Yuan looked at Niu Yin.

"Is what you said true?" Niu Yin was a little skeptical.

He has the Lightning Orb in his hand, and is not afraid of anyone in the competition of thunder magic.

"Of course, I can swear on my inner demon, otherwise, do you still think that Lu is the kind of person who can't afford to lose?"

"Brother Yuan, this suggestion is very good. Sister Die and I can be witnesses for the two of you!" After listening to Lu Yuan's suggestion, Shi Xiao said in agreement.

"Then it's a deal!" Seeing Shi Die nodded and indicating his willingness to act as a guarantor, Niu Yin readily agreed.

Once everyone has no objection, the next thing becomes easy.

Shi Xiao told Lu Yuan that they would just have to wait for the Great Elder to leave, and then they would use the teleportation ability of the Shilun Totem to directly enter the holy land.

Before entering the holy land, there is the protection of the formation, so there is no need to worry about Shi Man coming to cause trouble again. Although the formation here is slow to activate, its power is extraordinary and enough to block enemies at the Demon Lord level.

At this time, in another secret place in the holy city surrounded by mountains.

"I will leave for the Demon Ape Tribe later and it will take about a year for me to come back. During this period, no one can contact me except you. Do you know why?" The old stone demon looked at Shi Man and asked meaningfully.

"I understand. Father is creating an opportunity for me to attack Shi Xiao again!" Shi Man chuckled.

"That's right, but remember, you must not take action inside the Holy City. You must wait until Shi Xiao leaves the Holy City.

I have asked the two foreigners to leave as soon as possible today. For safety reasons, Shi Xiao and his men will definitely use the teleportation ability of the Shilun totem to take the two people directly out of the holy city. That's your chance." The old stone demon nodded approvingly to Shi Man.

"Teleport out of the holy city? Wouldn't it be difficult to confirm their location this way?" Shi Man frowned when he heard this.

“Earlier in the temple, I had secretly planted marks on those two foreigners. As long as we confirm their locations, we can find Shi Xiao.

With Shi Xiao and Shi Die's current cultivation level, the Shi Lun Totem can only teleport a distance of a thousand miles at a time, and it cannot teleport a second time in a short period of time.

So you must make a quick decision and don't let Shi Hai and the others notice and intervene. As for Shi Die, it's best not to hurt her, otherwise it will be troublesome if you anger the third brother.

He already had some complaints about the Holy Sacrifice this time. If we hurt Shi Die again, and he tells Yuansha Saint Ancestor that we don't want to participate in the Holy Sacrifice, we won't be able to withstand his wrath." The old stone demon warned again.

"Don't worry, father. I know what I'm doing. Today I was just careless for a moment, and because Shi Die was present, I couldn't kill them. But they won't be so lucky next time!" Shi Man said angrily.

"Well, with your cultivation level, even if the four of them join forces, they will definitely not be able to make any deep calculations. Among the other two foreigners, the guy from the Thunder Ox Clan has the Lightning Control Pearl. Try to capture it. It will definitely be useful to you in overcoming the great heavenly tribulation in the future.

The other one, Yuan, looks a bit extraordinary, and he probably has some secrets. I'll take him down if I have a chance, and study him carefully when I come back." The old stone demon seemed to remember something and told Shi Man.

"That demon actually cultivated a holy demon body, which is equivalent to the existence of the holy clan. Many high-level demons in the holy world find it difficult to do so. It is really hard to believe." Shi Man nodded.

"This is the forbidden token of the holy land. After you get it, sneak into the holy land quietly. Try to use Shi Xiao's Shi Lun power to comprehend the Shi Lun totem inside. This is your last chance." A light flashed in the old stone demon's hand, and an ancient hexagonal token emerged and was handed to Shi Man.

After Shi Man took the token, he negotiated with Old Shi Mo for a while before they left.
