Chapter Twenty-Seven: Return to Stone City

Ma Xie was not at all confused in his heart, he knew what he should do next.

Although Mu Xunfeng objected, Ma Xie still had to go to the Tianwu Sect to find Yunhai, he had to make a break with Yunhai, and he had to question Yunhai in front of Yunhai why Yunhai wanted to assassinate Mu Xunfeng.

Before going to the Heavenly Martial Sect, Ma Xie first had to go back to Stone City. Qi Nanfeng's sister and brother are the sons of Mu Xunfeng's deceased, and now that Mu Xunfeng is dead, Ma Xie wants to take care of these two poor sisters and brothers instead of the master.

Ma Xie put away a few relics of Mu Xunfeng, a few of which were the utensils used in the pursuit of the black fire that day, and the rest were just some coils and clothes, all of which were put away by Ma Xie, the long sword that Mu Xunfeng carried on weekdays, Ma Xie also carried it on his back, and he swore that he would use Mu Xunfeng's sword to kill Yunhai and his disciples Fei Shao, Lu Mai and Duanmu Xuan!

bought a fast horse in Yuanjia Town, and Ma Xie ran all the way to Shicheng.

As he got closer and closer to Shicheng, there were more people on the road, and Ma Xie remembered the rumors he had heard in Yuanjia Town that day, and he was very curious about what this treasure was that was about to be born, was it a divine weapon, or was it an elixir that greatly increased people's strength, or was it some innate spiritual object?

Some of these people from the rivers and lakes directly entered the stone city, and some simply set up camp outside the stone city and searched on the spot, all wanting to try their luck and see if they could leap into the sky.

Outside the Stone City, Ma Xie met an old acquaintance - He Qian'an.

It turned out that there were too many people in the rivers and lakes who suddenly appeared near Shicheng, and these people said that they were here to hunt for treasures, but most of them just came to see the excitement, but these people were idle, which really added a lot of chaos to the people of Shicheng.

He Wen'an was transferred back by Shi Dangdang and sent to deal with these idle people in the rivers and lakes. Before becoming the doorman of the Stone City Lord, although He Wen'an was well-known in the rivers and lakes, he was only a small role, and today he replaced the Stone City Lord to place these people in the rivers and lakes, and finally raised his eyebrows.

Most of these Jianghu people outside the city have no sects or sects, they are all second- and third-rate characters on the rivers and lakes, and the real sects and sects of cultivators have already lived in Shicheng or the nearby Light Wolf City, and there are disciples patrolling nearby every day. Moreover, these sects have already mastered a lot of information, and they will not look for it like headless flies.

Relying on the prestige of the Stone City Lord, He Wen'an first contacted the stewards of several high-ranking sects and asked them to assist him in managing these knights gathered outside the city. He didn't dare to go directly to the cultivator's sect, after all, it was no longer accessible to mortals. Of course, these sects were very willing, and they immediately sent a large number of disciples to gather all the Jianghu scattered people outside Shicheng who were not under the jurisdiction of the people, and assigned them to the jurisdiction of several major sects, and they were all under the jurisdiction of these sects before the birth of the treasure.

In this way, the gate faction couldn't help but justifiably accept the chassis outside Shicheng, and even found a group of cannon fodder for themselves. These scattered heroes without sects were very reluctant at first, but after these masters of the sect casually subdued a few troublemakers, no one dared to raise objections.

He Wen'an rode a horse and looked at the gradually calming stone city, and felt quite proud in his heart. At this time, he saw Ma Xie riding a fast horse towards the stone city, and hurried over.

"Ma Shaoxia, long time no see. He Wen'an called Ma Xie to stop.

Finally met an old acquaintance, and Ma Xie was also very happy. He stopped his horse and talked to He Wen'an, who told Ma Xie about the recent situation in the Stone City.

"I really don't know what kind of ghost news came from anyone, but now that there are so many people gathered in Stone City, and there are more and more of them, I think there will be not enough food and drink soon. He Wen'an complained.

Ma Xie asked He Wen'an what kind of strange treasure was unearthed, and He Wen'an couldn't say it, not only He Wen'an couldn't say it, but in fact, most of the people came when they heard the wind, and no one knew what kind of strange treasure was born, let alone when it was born, only that it was near Shicheng, because all the three major cultivation sects sent people here.

The Heavenly Martial Sect, the Xuanmen Exterminating Sect and the Purple Immortal Sect, the three cultivator sects in the northern Jin Kingdom, have always been low-key and hidden, but this time they appeared here in such a high-profile manner, something unusual must have happened.

He Wen'an sent Ma Xie into Shicheng and told Ma Xie not to cause trouble recently, there are now masters here, and even the City Lord's Mansion is not necessarily the safest place.

Ma Xie originally wanted to ask He Wen'an about the secret battle between the City Lord's Mansion and the Light Wolf City, but before he could open his mouth, He Wen'an felt like leaving, because two more groups of people were fighting over the land.

Back at the City Lord's Mansion, Ma Xie found that it was also different, these usually lazy doormen did not dare to be negligent at the moment, the morning patrol around the City Lord's Mansion was day and night, and no one could enter the City Lord's Mansion without Tang Feihuai's approval. Ma Xie waited outside the door for a while before being introduced into the mansion by Tang Feihuai.

On the venue of martial arts practice in Fuzhong, Ma Xie saw several unfamiliar faces.

"That's a group of doormen secretly received by the city lord before, and they are rarely on the floor in front of people, isn't it not peaceful recently, these people are willing to come out to guard the city lord's mansion. Tang Feihuai introduced.

"They're powerful, aren't they?" asked Ma Xie.

Tang Feihuai stretched out his finger and put it in front of his mouth: "Shhh...... Don't talk about these weirdos, these people are very difficult to get along with. Tang Feihuai took Ma Xie away before explaining to Ma Xie that since these people appeared in the City Lord's Mansion, these guests before them all felt an invisible pressure, although these people had never made a move, they all knew that no one was the opponent of these people.

Because the carpenter king, who has the highest martial arts among them, earnestly warned everyone: None of you should provoke this group of people, they are not ordinary doormen, they are all "dead soldiers" of the city lord, and their skills are above me, if you don't want to die, be honest.

Although some of the disciples were unconvinced, none of them were opponents of the Carpenter King, and some people even rumored that the Carpenter King was originally a cultivator, but his realm was relatively low.

Ma Xie came to the hall of the City Lord's Mansion and went to meet the City Lord.

Shi Dangdang was discussing things with a few people at this moment, and Ma Xie waited in the side room for a while, and when these people had left, he went to see the Lord of Shi City.

Behind the city lord stood a man in black, standing with his hands in his hands, his eyes were pitch black, and there was not a trace of whites of his eyes. The city lord looked tired, and after hearing about Mu Xunfeng, he didn't say anything for a while, and only said for a long time: "Brother Mu left me like this, how can I dare to survive this big wave in the future!"

Ma Xie felt as if the Stone City Lord had suddenly aged many years, and he found that the Stone City Lord actually had a few white hairs.

Shi Dangdang asked Ma Xie about his plans after that, Ma Xie didn't hide it, he must go to Tianwu Sect for revenge, so he came back just to settle the two Qi Nanfeng sisters and brothers for the master.

"You don't have to worry about this, your master and I are inseparable friends, like brothers, I will definitely not let him have any regrets. I have a mansion in Kyoto, which was my residence when I was summoned to Kyoto. I want you to escort Nanfeng there to get me to the house. Shicheng is too remote, and it is not a long-term solution for you young people to stay here, you still have to go to the capital, see the world, and only then can you get ahead in the future and win glory for my Shicheng disciples!"
