Returning to Stone City again, Ma Xie found that much had changed here.

The mortals on the streets were no longer as bustling as before, but many people dressed as monks were swaggering and walking, and almost all of these people were disciples of the three northern sects.

"Brother Ma, there are many disciples of the Tianwu Sect here, do you want to avoid it. He Wen'an said to Ma Xie.

Ma Xie thought about it and agreed, at this moment, it is better to avoid a little limelight, who knows if Ni Shuifeng and those people will suddenly appear, and then it will be unfavorable to him.

He Wen'an took out an iron mask and handed it to Ma Xie: "Put it on! ”

Ma Xie put the mask on his face, and it was just the right size.

"Iron Mask Man, Brother Ma, I'll call you Iron Mask Brother in the future!" Song Xue'er said.

"Since you don't want the people of the Heavenly Martial Sect to find out about you, you better change your name so as not to cause unnecessary trouble. He Wen'an also said: "Iron Mask? This name is not bad. ”

"Okay, let's call it Iron Mask!" said Ma Xie, and it seemed that he had been able to operate in another capacity for the time being.

Entering the City Lord's Mansion with an iron mask, Ma Xie and his party attracted everyone's curiosity.

Tang Feihuai stood at the gate and shouted at He Wen'an: "Lao He, where did you find these masters again, you won't be driven away again this time!"

It turned out that in the past few days, He Wen'an has found a lot of "monks" in order to help Shi Dang, but He Wen'an can't see which monks are powerful, as long as he hears that the other party is a monk, he can't wait to bring him to the city lord.

Those casual cultivators could not enter the territory of Stone City, and some smart monks used He Wen'an to join the power of the Stone City Lord, hoping to enter the secret realm.

Most of the monks he brought with him were promiscuous, which made He Wen'an very embarrassed in front of the other doormen, although everyone knew that he was kind, but they would still joke and taunt him occasionally.

It's a pity that this time He Wen has a bottom in his mind, he looked at Tang Feihuai and said, "Hmph, this time I won't disappoint the city lord!"

For Ma Xie, He Wen'an has a special self-confidence.

He is the first person Ma Xie saw after coming out of the great wilderness in the north, and he is also the first friend, and it is his insight that brought Ma Xie back to Stone City, although he doesn't know how Ma Xie's strength is compared to the monks around the city lord, but He Wen'an believes in his own vision, he knows that Ma Xie This kid will definitely become a great weapon!

Back in the City Lord's Mansion, everything was so familiar, Ma Xie couldn't help but want to say hello to Tang Feihuai, but Song Miao pulled him behind him, and he suppressed this impulse.

Along the way, Ma Xie met many familiar faces, but they all passed by him, and no one knew who the iron-masked man He Qian'an brought back.

When he arrived in the hall of the City Lord's Mansion, He Wen'an broke away from the others, and then went to report to Shi Gandang in person.

After a while, he heard a powerful footstep, and Shi Dangdang strode out from behind.

"Ma Xie!" shouted Shi Dangdang as soon as he entered.

At this moment, Ma Xie had already taken off his mask, and he respectfully bowed to the Lord of Stone City.

"The winged horse evil of Shicheng has completed the trust of the city lord and avenged my master Mu Xunfeng! Today I learned that Shicheng is in trouble, and I have come to ask for battle!"

These are his words from the bottom of his heart, since entering the Jin Kingdom, the Stone City Lord has been helping him, and this time he finally has the opportunity to repay the Stone City Lord.

Ma Xie told Shi Gandang about what happened after he left Shicheng, and then introduced everyone to Shi Gandang, when Shi Gandang saw Yuan Wuji, who could speak, although he was surprised, he didn't have such a gaffe as He Wen'an.

Shi Dang said: "Brother Mu has an apprentice like you, and he will die without regrets." Unexpectedly, the sea of clouds repented at the last moment, and it was a kind of atonement that he could go to your master's wake to wake the spirit. What's even more unexpected is you, but in just over a year, you are already a third-level cultivator of the Qi Refining Realm, and for us mortals, you are already an immortal!"

After that, Shi Gandang talked to Ma Xie about the current situation, and now in addition to the three major sects and the Tianji Gate, the forces of Banyue Mountain City are also involved, and the "Treasure Hunter Alliance" is also making a lot of noise.

"But I don't have to worry, as long as these monks don't hurt the people of my stone city, they don't care what strange treasures they have! The more power, the better, I have long seen that the three major sects are not pleasing to the eye. Shi Dangdang said: "Anyway, King Jin said, as long as it is not the three major sects that take away the treasures." He didn't expect these scattered cultivators to be so united! The current situation is that the three major sects have to open the entrance to the secret realm, hehe, there is a good show to watch now. ”

Because of the addition of several forces in Banyue Mountain City, the situation has changed, and now the biggest contradiction is not the three major sects and Shicheng, but the four major gangs of the three major sects and Banyue Mountain City and a group of loose cultivators.

Shi Cheng is not a thorn in the side of the three major sects at this moment.

"But how do you explain to the King of Jin, if you can't get the treasure, I'm afraid the King of Jin will be difficult for you!" Ma Xie asked.

Shi Dangdang shook his head: "It's okay, King Jin won't blame me for this kind of thing, not to mention that the order he gave me was not to let the three major sects get the treasure, not others, I didn't disobey their orders, King Jin really wanted to deal with me, and he wouldn't be stupid enough to use this excuse." Although I am far away from the royal city, there are still people in the clan who will speak for me. You can rest assured of this!"

"Castle Lord...... Some things have to be ......," He Wen'an said worriedly.

Shi Dangdang's expression sank and said: "Greetings! I have said many times, this is an internal matter of our Shi family, so you don't need to ask too much! The ancestors of our Shi family let us keep this line here, as long as we don't leave Shicheng and defend Shicheng for the Jin Kingdom, even the patriarch can't do anything to us! Our lineage has been guarding Shicheng since the founding of the country, and every city lord has never even left Shicheng, will the clan let our lineage's loyalty go to waste because of this little mistake?" Rest assured, the patriarch will never make a move on our side. ”

It turns out that Shi Gandang is indeed the clan brother of Shi Xinghai, the current King of Jin, and since the day Shi Gandang inherited the position of the city lord, in order not to arouse the suspicion of the King of Jin, he has strictly followed the rules of his ancestors, and has never taken a step out of Shicheng!

Every generation of Shicheng City Lords is like this, they don't have as many thoughts as other fiefdom lords, and in the thousands of years since the founding of the country, they have never expanded, never raised soldiers, and not even a single descendant to cultivate.

Shi Kangdang and his ancestors are like a firm and stubborn rock, always guarding this desolate place.

He Wen'an knew that Shi Dangdang was loyal to the King of Jin, but he got a lot of news from the caravan in Shicheng, and the prime minister Xu Baiyang had been encouraging the King of Jin to completely implement the county system, and Shicheng was the last stumbling block for him to complete the reform of the county system.

"Chen Baiyang's younger brother Chen Baiqiu has also been targeting us in Shicheng recently. They relied on the support of the Tianwu Sect behind their backs, not only drove out all the scattered cultivators who defected to us, but also instructed their subordinates to hinder the development of our Shicheng caravan in the Light Wolf City, that day the monks of the Martial Sect relied on the fact that there were not many monks in our Shicheng, and wantonly patrolled the scattered immortals in the territory of our Shicheng, and there were still some monks in our Shicheng, all of whom were driven away by the Tianwu Sect!" He Wen'an said angrily: "I am now looking forward to the forces of Banyue Mountain City coming to kill the majesty of the Tianwu Sect!" To be honest, even that Blood Killing Ancestor I think is much better than these people!"

The Blood Killing Ancestor was originally a monk near Shicheng, but his base camp was not in Shicheng, this time the three sects went north, and his power was also suppressed a lot, which was also the only thing that the three major sects did to win the hearts of the people.

However, the always domineering Blood Killing Ancestor was extraordinarily quiet this time, and he never made a move against the three major sects, and the disciples under the sect also restrained a lot, only some mortal disciples were carrying out some activities, and all the cultivators seemed to have disappeared.

There are different opinions on this matter, some people say that the blood killing ancestor is afraid of the three major sects, some people say that the blood killing ancestor is accumulating strength, and it is even rumored that the blood killing ancestor has a big problem in his cultivation, and he can't get out to deal with these three major sects for a while.

In any case, the matter of snatching the treasure and killing the ancestor in blood is no longer involved.

When everyone said this, the chef behind him had already set up a large table of wine and food, and Shi Gandang did not call others, leaving only He Wen'an, the "Mr. Mo" and Ma Xie and his party to eat.

"This is 'Mr. Mo', an old friend of mine, the matter about the strange treasure has always been that he came forward to coordinate with the three major sects, after all, I am a mortal, and I have a special identity, I don't want to have too much to do with these sects. Shi Dangdang introduced everyone.

Mr. Namo said very little, and after hearing Ma Xie's experience, he also sighed in surprise: "Such a genius." Then after thinking for a long time, he said: "City Lord, we discussed with the three major sects before, and each side of the secret realm can have ten people in each side, and now that other forces have come in, it seems that the number of people on each side will be reduced. Although this Ma Shaoxia is extremely talented, after all, he only has the third layer of the Qi Refining Realm, is it a bit dangerous after entering?"

Shi Gandang waved his hand and said, "I believe in Ma Xie! Besides, strictly speaking, Ma Xie is the only cultivator in my Stone City, even if he is only the first layer of the Qi Refining Realm, I will let him in! Because only he can represent my Stone City, although I have no intention of competing for the treasure, but I also don't want to have a single cultivator in my team." Ma Xie, do you say yes?"

"What the city lord said is extremely true! My horse evil is the 'Wings of Stone City' canonized by the city lord himself, as long as the city lord gives an order, I will definitely be a fool of my heart! Please rest assured that the city lord will not lose the face of our stone city! I will definitely do my best to bring back the 'Chixiao' divine sword to the city lord!"

"Hahaha! It's not a loss to someone I value. However, Ma Xie can do his best to do his best, and as for whether he can stay in a strange treasure, he doesn't have to force it. As for the Chixiao Excalibur...... If you can't get it!" Shi Dangdang smiled.

Ma Xie knew that the Stone City Lord was worried about his safety, so he arched his hand and said, "Ma Xie must do his best." ”

At this time, Song Xue'er asked: "What is the 'Chixiao' Divine Sword, why does even the great king want to get it? I thought that King Jin lacked anything!"

Yuan Wuji said: "That is the top five existence in the fire system divine soldiers, and it is also known as the 'sword of the king', which once defeated the world's number one evil divine soldier - 'Domineering Flowing Fire', the monks who can have this sword are all characters on the king's side, if they can exert the true power of this sword, it can really be described as the 'sword of dragon slaying'! It is said that just the fire light it emits can kill a strange beast in the Dan realm in seconds! With this sword, ordinary monks can't even get close." Moreover, the flames inspired by this sword are specialized in restraining all kinds of evil demons, and they are natural nemesis of evil spirits. ”

Shi Dangdang said with a smile: "Hey, you little thing, not only eat a lot, but also know a lot, and even know such a fortunate secret." But there is one thing you probably don't know yet, the first owner of this legendary 'King's Sword' is the ancestor of our Shi family, Shi Cheng. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked, they didn't expect that the ancestor of the Lord of Shicheng turned out to be the first owner of this sword, no wonder this sword is called the "Sword of Kings", because his owner is indeed the king who created a country!

This is not difficult to explain why King Jin is reluctant to fall into the hands of the three sects of the Dao Dynasty.

The strange treasure has not really appeared, but it has already stirred up the storm in the north of the Jin Kingdom, and for a while, the eyes of many forces in the north have converged here.
