In those years when I was a mortal and a demon

Half a day later, in the valley where Lu Yuan and his companions were, everyone was sitting cross-legged with their eyes closed, as if waiting for something.

Suddenly, Shi Die seemed to notice something, and raised his hand to attack the person below him. A beam of spiritual light broke through the ground and flew in front of him.

"According to the report from Shi Kui, who is under my control, the Great Elder has already left the Stone Demon Mountains!" A look of joy appeared on Shi Die's face.

"Let's set off without further delay!" Niu Yin stood up impatiently.

"No rush. I think we should wait a little longer until your chief elder goes further away." Lu Yuan narrowed his eyes and said lightly.

"Brother Yuan, what you said makes sense. Although this may lead to more trouble, Shi Man is still in the tribe. It won't hurt to be cautious." Shi Xiao nodded in agreement.

"Fellow Daoist Niu, why don't you wait a little longer?" Shi Die smiled.

"I didn't expect that Brother Yuan, with his level of cultivation, would be so careful." Niu Yin muttered with some disapproval, but still sat down cross-legged again.

......

Another day and night passed, and after a brief discussion, everyone felt that it was about right.

Shi Die and Shi Xiao looked at each other and nodded. Then they raised their hands to the sky at the same time, and gray-white light shone from their bodies. Two phantoms of Shilun totems over a hundred feet high were instantly condensed.

Seeing this, Lu Yuan and Niu Yin moved as if they were prepared, and immediately appeared between the two stone pillars with Shi Die.

There was a flash of white light under their feet, and an ancient stone platform emerged from the ground with a rumble, lifting the four people up to a height of more than ten feet.

Shi Die and the other man took a deep breath and made a seal with one hand. Soon, circles of five-colored halos emanated from the two Shilun totems, instantly covering the entire stone platform.

......

On the outskirts of the Holy City, in a dense forest somewhere in the Stone Demon Mountains, Shi Man, who was regulating his breathing with his eyes closed, frowned and opened his eyes with a hint of confusion.

"Why did the marks of the two foreigners disappear?"

After mumbling, Shi Man formed a seal, and suddenly an evil red light appeared on his forehead. But it was only for a moment, and then it quickly disappeared.

This result immediately turned Shi Man's puzzled expression into shock.

"Did they find out they were marked and try to erase it?"

"No! Father is a mid-stage Demon Lord. Unless a Demon Lord with a higher cultivation level than him does it himself, Shi Die and the others alone cannot wipe them out!"

Just as Shi Man was pondering the reason, a flash of light suddenly appeared from his chest. In the light was an ancient hexagonal token that was vibrating slightly.

"Huh? Someone was able to break the ban and enter the holy land!" Shi Man exclaimed lightly, and the confusion in his eyes became even stronger.

Suddenly, a gleam of light flashed in Shi Man's eyes and he stood up abruptly.

"I see. I didn't expect you guys could hide in the holy land. No wonder I couldn't sense the mark."

"Shi Die and Shi Xiao, you are so brave! Bringing outsiders into the holy land without permission is equivalent to treason. I want to see what reasons Shi Hai and the others have to stop me." Shi Man smiled and immediately went towards the location of the holy city.

However, after only a few breaths, Shi Man suddenly stopped his escape, and the smug look on his face slowly turned into a sinister one. Then he changed direction, abandoned the Holy City, and headed in another direction.

......

This was an endless gray and white world. Whether it was the sky, the ground, or the mountain walls, they were all gray and white, as if there was a layer of gray gauze that could not be wiped off covering the entire world.

"Such a strong earth attribute power, even the lightning power in my body is suppressed!" Niu Yin said solemnly.

Not only him, but also Lu Yuan who came to the holy land had the same feeling. If he fought with others here, it would be great if he could exert 80% of his strength.

"You two may not know that, as early as in ancient times, the Stone Demon Mountains were the gathering place of ancient mountain giants. And this place is where those mountain giants will come to sit and die when their time is up.

After the corpses of countless mountain giants gathered here, the earth attribute power here became stronger and stronger. Therefore, those who practice earth attribute skills can at least increase their combat power by nearly double here. "

As Shi Xiao explained, he looked around with a puzzled look on his face.

"Sister Die, this is not the place we marked at the beginning." Shi Xiao suddenly turned his head to look at Shi Die beside him.

"It should be because of the prohibition of the holy land that our transmission went wrong." Shi Die nodded first, then smiled at Lu Yuan and Niu Yin and said, "I'm sorry, fellow Taoists. Brother Xiao and I misjudged the distance of the transmission. But since we are here, we only need to spend a little more time to get there."

Lu Yuan didn't say anything when he heard this, but just nodded lightly. However, Niu Yin seemed quite uncomfortable with the strong earth attribute here, and urged Shi Die and the others to lead the way quickly.

Just as several people, led by Shi Die, were rushing in a certain direction, in a remote corner of the holy land, a gray haze flashed by, and Shi Man's figure also appeared in the holy land.

With a "puff" sound, the evil red light on Shi Man's forehead flashed again, but this time the red light did not dissipate as quickly as before.

“They really came in!”

Shi Man whispered excitedly, then took out the forbidden magic weapon from the holy land and quickly cast several spells.

"Now the power of the holy land's ban has been increased to the extreme by me. Even if you have the Shilun Totem, you can never teleport out again!"

After doing all this, Shi Man pointed at his forehead, and the evil red light on his forehead suddenly flew up and flashed in a certain direction.

......

After flying for most of the day, Lu Yuan and his companions finally arrived near a mountain that covered an area of ​​several miles. The mountain was about a thousand feet high, with no grass growing on it, and the whole mountain was covered with huge gray-white rocks.

When they saw this mountain, Lu Yuan and Niu Yin were both surprised.

Although this mountain seems inconspicuous, it is the only one standing alone within a thousand miles, which seems quite strange.

"Okay, this is it. My two Taoist friends, please wait a moment. Brother Xiao and I will make the mountain giant appear immediately."

Seeing that Lu Yuan and Niu Yin looked puzzled, Shi Die gave a brief explanation, and then she and Shi Xiao cast a spell at the same time, raised their hands and lifted up the thousand-foot-high mountain.

Amidst the violent tremors, the entire mountain slowly rose from the ground and was actually lifted up by Shi Xiao and the other man.

After being lifted up about a hundred feet, the thousand-foot-high mountain was thrown more than ten miles away with a loud shout from Shi Xiao and the other man, shaking the earth.

Although Lu Yuan was amazed at the magical powers of the two, he appeared calm on the surface. After all, he had seen Shi Man display his abilities before in the Stone Demon Holy City.

And the most important thing is that most of Lu Yuan's attention was attracted by the scene below the thousand-foot-high mountain.
