On the edge of a barren mountain range, a place of high forest. There were corpses lying on the ground, and within tens of meters, the leaves were splashed with blood everywhere, and the blood was dripping down the leaves, not yet coagulated. A hunting squad of more than 20 people had just been wiped out by the crowd.

After a while, quite a few hunters, mercenaries, and cultivators from the Barren Mountain Range rushed towards this direction.

Apparently I heard the sound of a fight here.

"Look, these people are dying in such a horrible state, they are all fingered through the brain and heart. "None of the people who can come here are weak. This kind of scene is rare, but these people are not afraid.

I only heard them gather here and talk about it.

"These people are the hunting party of the Blackstone City Lord's Mansion. I recognize the markings on their cuffs. "Many people from Blackstone City in the crowd recognized the identities of these people.

"The Black Rock City Lord's Mansion, who would specifically target the Lord of a City? Could it be that the Black Rock City Lord has provoked some enemy. "For most martial artists, very few people take the initiative to provoke the lord of a city. Even if it's just a small city lord with no background, let alone a city with a population of more than one million like Black Rock City, it's not a small city.

"Is the enemy of Black Rock City, it's really interesting, but I think this enemy's strength is not very good, otherwise he will directly hit the city lord's mansion, why bother to attack these people. In the crowd, there was a fan in his hand, and the young man who looked like a boy was a little playful.

This was obviously done by Xiao Che, and when these people were talking, Xiao Che had already left this place.

Xiao Che planned to sweep away all the people in the Black Rock City Lord's Mansion in the Barren Mountain Range. Not only can the Black Rock City Lord's Mansion be on guard against him and concentrate on dealing with him, but also he can use this to hone his martial arts. After all, whether it's the God Eater Duel or the Demon God Claw. It takes a lot of actual combat to hone it.

On this day, a huge waterfall was found in the Xiaoche Barren Mountain Range, which was thousands of feet high and reached into the clouds, as if it was flowing down from the sky. This place is a valley, and no one usually comes here. Sprinkle the herbs you have refined yourself in the past few days around to be disturbed by the demon beasts.

The waterfall flowed straight down, and Xiao Che erected a stake in it. He wants to borrow cultivation and disappear without a trace. Although, he had already cultivated without a trace to the first layer of the Shadowless Realm. But it's not a complete mastery. After all, it is not easy for the magical body method here to be cultivated to perfection.

However, with this giant waterfall, Xiao Che is also extremely confident in himself to cultivate it to the state of perfection.

The wooden stake controlled by Xiao Yuan is like duckweed under the waterfall, swaying with the current. At this time, the shirtless Xiao Che was walking on it. If you want to truly master the shadowless realm, you must not get a splash under such a violent waterfall. It's easier said than done, but it's extremely difficult to do.

At the beginning, Xiao Che didn't know how many times he was hit by the waterfall, so Xiao Che kept practicing on the stake every day until he was exhausted, and then began to recover, and continued to train after recovery. Such high-intensity training will never be able to survive without tenacity and perseverance.

And Xiao Che practiced so diligently and diligently, and practiced for two months without a trace. In the past two months, Xiao Che occasionally went out of the valley to hunt the men and horses of the Black Rock City Lord's Mansion. All the warriors in the Black Rock City area of the Barren Mountain Range knew that there was a madman in the Barren Mountain Range who targeted the Black Rock City Lord's Mansion, but they never knew who it was.

There are good deeds that actually open a gambling game to bet. Guess who it really is. And who will be the winner in the end. This kind of gambling was just a boring game at first, but when the stakes reached 100 million Chiling coins, it finally became a big gamble.

In the Qingxuan Empire, the spirit coin is used as currency, and the spirit coin is a strange spirit stone casting, which is very precious. The value is divided into red orange, yellow green, blue and purple from low to high. This kind of spirit coin can be directly used for cultivation. It became hard currency.

The ratio of spirit coins for each color is 1:10. Although the Red Spirit Coin is the lowest value of the Spirit Coin. But a city like Blackstone City only handed over about a billion Red Spirit Coins to the Empire a year. It can be seen that it is also extremely precious.

And Xiao Che, who was deep in the mountains, didn't know anything about it.

Two months went by in a flash. Yesterday, Xiao Che finally managed to not get a drop of water on the stake. Today is the last time he will practice here. I finally have a feeling of complete control over the shadowless realm.

Now when Xiao Che used it without a trace, it was very different from before. The previous non-existence seemed unusually rough to his current eyes. And now it's very satisfying. There is no waste of spiritual power when using it. The subtleties are visible.

After two months of cultivation, Xiao Che also officially left this place.

In the past two months, due to Xiao Che's action, there is no longer a single person from the Black Rock City Lord's Mansion in this area of the Barren Mountain Range. Thinking about it, Shi Tongtian also knew that someone was targeting their City Lord's Mansion.

Black Rock City, the Lord's Mansion.

"Uncle, when will I be able to go out, I won't go far to walk around Blackstone City, can't I?" a young man who looked like a gentleman was complaining weakly to the man in the Taishi's chair.

This young man was none other than Shi Hu, the nephew of the city lord of Black Rock City. The person on the Taishi's chair is none other than Shi Tongtian, the lord of Black Rock City. Shi Hu has now been grounded by Shi Tongtian and is not allowed to go out in the mansion. I'm afraid he'll make a mistake. But Shi Hu is used to going in and out of Fengyue places on weekdays, and the people in the casino are really suffering.

But he really didn't dare to disobey his uncle's orders.

In the past two months, Shi Tongtian has also been extremely angry, although there is no trace of anger on the surface. He really couldn't think of anyone who was targeting him like this. Recently, he listed the people who had a holiday with him, although there were many people who could be targeted, but after his secret investigation, it was not those people who made the move. Even the Meng family has become the target of his key surveillance.

He didn't take the Liu family to heart, since Liu Long and Liu Qing returned to the Liu family with blood two months ago, the two factions of the Liu family have completely broken up. Now that the Liu family is fighting in the dark, it will naturally not be them.

The Liu family's Great Elder faction had also asked him for help, but he was now too busy to take care of himself and did not directly help. However, at his behest, the Li and Zhang families were on the side of the elders of the Liu family. And the Meng family announced that they would not interfere in this matter.

Shi Tongtian is now accumulating strength and transferring all the people of the City Lord's Mansion who are outside back to Black Rock City. Entering and exiting the city gates must be strictly checked. Although he still doesn't know who this person is, he knows that this person will definitely come to the City Lord's Mansion, and he will. He was waiting at the City Lord's Mansion.

Xiao Che walked out of the Barren Mountain Range and headed towards Black Rock City.

"It's been more than two years, at the beginning, you forced me into the barren mountain and almost killed me, and now the master is back. Shi Tongtian, we will meet soon. Xiao Che unconsciously raised the corners of his mouth.

"Dad, is this Black Rock City? It's big enough. Xiao Yuan, who entered Xiao Che's Spirit Sea, said curiously.

In front of Xiao Che was a huge city, the walls of which were made entirely of obsidian. Obsidian has a strong defense. The city made of the entire obsidian is the only one in the entire empire. That's how Black Rock got its name.

From a distance, the city looks like a giant beast, crawling on the edge of the plain. To the south are the Barren Mountains. According to legend, the reason why Blackstone City was built with precious obsidian was to protect against the tide of beasts in the past.

However, in the current Qingxuan Empire, there is no beast tide anymore. As the empire grew stronger, humans and monsters remained relatively peaceful. In many cities in the human world, you can also see many monsters coming and going.

"Black Rock City is indeed not small, but in the abyss, there are many bigger cities in the Qingxuan Empire. When the matter of Black Rock City is settled, Dad will take you around the world. Xiao Che was arrogant.

"Okay, okay, I'm a big fan of new things. Xiao Yuan said excitedly.

As the saying goes, Wangshan runs a dead horse, although it looks at the Black Rock City right in front of you, if you really walk, it is not close. As the entire city enlarged infinitely in his eyes, Xiao Che finally arrived in front of the gate of Black Rock City.

There are two long lines of people in front of the door, and every passerby needs to be carefully checked.

A while ago, it caused many strong people to be dissatisfied, but when the strong people who made trouble were killed on the spot by the city lord's palace guards, no one made trouble here anymore.

The warrior put away his unruly here. Honestly enter the city.

Black Rock City has always been popular because of its proximity to the Barren Mountains. The inspection of the City Lord's Mansion was strict and swift, and it soon arrived at Xiao Che.

"Name. The City Lord's Mansion guard asked.

"Xiao Yun. Xiao Che looked like a countryman. Gave a pseudonym. After all, the name Xiao Che really caused a sensation in Black Rock City two years ago. He didn't want to be recognized so quickly.

"Where did you come from and what for?" the guard continued.

"From Bluestone. It is a distant relative of Liulong of the Liu family. Here's the credential. Xiao Che took out the Liu family voucher that Liu Long gave him.

"It's the Liu family's certificate, but I haven't heard that the Liu family has a distant relative surnamed Xiao. Hearing the Liu family, the guard showed a hint of respect, after all, the Liu family is also a big family in Black Rock City, and it was not his own little guard who offended him, but he still asked responsibly.

"Well, Liu Long is my mother's aunt's cousin. I'll call him my cousin. Xiao Che said casually.

"What a mess. Okay, you go inside. The guard was a little dizzy by Xiao Che, it turned out to be such a distant relative, and the guard's tone lost the slightest respect before when he said it. Bluestone Town, but a country boy.

Xiao Che didn't care about this, anyway, he came in. Shi Tongtian, I'm here.

Xiao Che, who entered the city, did not go directly to Liu's house to find Liu Long and Liu Qing. Instead, I found a restaurant inn.

After all, he is not familiar with the current situation of the Liu family, and it has never been his style to act rashly.

The largest restaurant in Blackstone City is called "Obsidian Restaurant". This is not only the most luxurious restaurant in Black Rock City, but also the largest intelligence distribution center in Black Rock City. After all, the prices here are also extremely high, and the guests who can come here to spend money have a good net worth. The source of the information is also much more reliable.

Xiao Che is not a young man who has never seen the world, these rivers and lakes experience have long been familiar with him.

Entering the restaurant, Xiao Che asked for a few good side dishes, and Xiao Yuan in the spiritual sea was extremely interested in this kind of lively place. If he hadn't been afraid of missing Xiao Che's big event, he would have appeared in front of everyone a long time ago.

This did not disappoint Xiao Che. After a while, I heard someone talk about the Liu family.

"The Liu family's current head faction and the Great Elder's faction have split, and they are fighting to the death. However, I heard that the head of the family is lagging behind. A middle-aged man sitting next to him said.

"Yes, I've also heard that if it weren't for the three families of Li and Zhang helping the Great Elder faction, the family head faction would not be like this. However, it is also thanks to the Meng family's neutrality, otherwise the Liu family's head faction may have been completely defeated. The man next to him continued.

"Hmph, if you want me to say, the head of the Liu family is really stupid, those who know the times are Junjie, the power of the City Lord's Mansion is so strong, what's wrong with taking refuge in the City Lord's Mansion. It is also an honor to let the City Lord's Mansion take the initiative to win over. Someone on the side interjected.

"What you said is a fart, the Liu family has not had the slightest disrespect for the City Lord's Mansion for so many years, and now it is clear that the City Lord's Mansion wants to annex the Liu family. If the Liu family can work together, even the City Lord's Mansion will not be able to forcibly annex it. Just look at the Meng family. Someone retorted.

"As a warrior, there is nothing wrong with taking refuge in powerful forces for resources, but it is shameless to take refuge because of fear and profit. Someone said mercilessly.

Listening to these discussions, Xiao Che also learned about the current situation of the Liu family. It seems that Liu Long and Liu Qing are not having a good time with their faction.

The Great Elder's faction is really excessive, and no matter how disagreeable his own people are, they can't collude with outsiders. Although there must be the means of the City Lord's Mansion in this, the Great Elders are also excessive.

The Meng family is interesting. In such a situation, all forces in Blackstone City are busy taking sides. Almost all of them chose to stand on the side of the City Lord's Mansion, and the Meng family could still not be swayed, which was really rare. It seems that the head of the Meng family is a powerful character.

To say that the Meng family has no ambition in this situation, Xiao Che will never believe it. According to the current situation, it is inevitable that the Liu family will be annexed. If the Meng family intervenes at this time, they will definitely be able to gain a lot of benefits. In the end, the Liu family was destroyed, and the Meng family could get the benefits second only to the City Lord's Mansion. That's a lot of interest.

Now, when the head of the Liu family is seeing that he is going to lose, the Meng family is still unmoved, which is really rare.

"What do you want to do, if you dare to talk nonsense, you will be abolished. I heard a bang, and then a bald head with a sinister face walked in from outside. Without saying a word, he threw out the person who was talking about the Liu family just now.

"When did the people of the Liu family become so majestic, this is an obsidian restaurant. How dare you be so presumptuous. A young girl came down from the upper floor. There was a coldness in the words.

It turned out that they were members of the Liu family, and they must be the Great Elder's faction. Now that they have taken refuge in the City Lord's Mansion, they will be so arrogant. Xiao Che understood at a glance.

However, the manager of this restaurant turned out to be a young girl, and listening to the tone of her voice, it seems that this obsidian restaurant also has some confidence.

"Little girl, I'm presumptuous, what can you do?" The bald man of the Liu family looked fierce and vicious.

"Yo, the Liu family, I really thought that if I took refuge in the City Lord's Mansion, I could act recklessly. Someone came, scrapped all this garbage for me, and hung it outside the restaurant. The young housekeeper of the restaurant said disdainfully.

As soon as the young female steward's voice fell, Xiao Che's whole body tensed instantly, and he saw a figure flickering, and the bald man of the Liu family also used his spiritual power in an instant. I heard a bang, and the surrounding tables and chairs instantly shattered into powder. I saw that it was a white-haired old man who shot it, standing tall, while the bald man of the Liu family had broken bones all over his body, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead.

This old man is not simple. I can't imagine that just a restaurant has such a master. It seems that Blackstone City is not as simple as I thought. Seeing this scene, Xiao Che on the side felt a strong vigilance in his heart.
