"Who are you and what's the matter here?" one of the three old men looked at Xiao Che.

"Boy Zhou Ye, passing through here, there are many disturbances. Xiao Che made up a fake name. He didn't know where these people came from now, so naturally he wouldn't tell him his real names.

"You've come down from the Blood Demon Bat Tide Battlefield, and you smell of Blood Demon Bat's blood. "The old man seemed to know something.

"Yes, the kid had been fighting the Blood Demon Bat Swarm for a day. If the seniors have nothing else to do, the kid will go first. Xiao Che didn't hide it, saying that Xiao Che was about to leave.

Xiao Che didn't want to know anything about the affairs of this village, and the less he knew about the affairs of the rivers and lakes, the safer it was.

Xiao Che's reaction made the three old men feel a little funny, but this made them think more highly of Xiao Che, there are not many young people who are so cautious.

"The Lord of the Xiao Mansion came to our Stone City, and he left like this, if it spreads, others will think that I Stone City does not know how to entertain guests. One of the old women walked out.

"Eh, mother-in-law, where is this, yes, I'm Xiao Che. I don't know what the seniors have to say?" Xiao Che was shocked when he saw the old woman reveal her identity as soon as she opened her mouth, but it didn't show it on his face.

"We, Stone Town, want to talk to Lord Xiao. The old man who spoke at the beginning said directly.

"Okay, senior, please say. Xiao Che has always remained humble and calm.

"Does Mansion Lord Xiao know the origin of our Stone City?" the old man asked.

"I don't know. Xiao Che replied truthfully.

"It seems that your master Qing Xuance senior didn't mention it to you. "Although the old man is much older than Qing Xuance, in the Xuantian Realm, he is judged by the martial arts realm.

"If you have anything to say from your predecessors, please speak up. Xiao Che didn't understand what the old man meant.

"Let's put it this way, we in Stone City want to join the Xuanfu as a whole, but we can't exist publicly, only you can know about it, and we must maintain enough independence. How?" replied the old man.

"Senior, this is impossible, I don't know anything about your origins, how can I rashly agree?" After listening to the old man's words, Xiao Che always felt that there was something strange in it, and he couldn't agree to it.

"Lord Xiao, is it possible that our requirements are too high for the Xuanfu to be realized?" the old man wondered, he could be said to have quite a good understanding of the organizational structure of the Xuanfu. That's why they made the decision. However, he didn't expect Xiao Che to refuse.

You must know that the strength of their Stone City is extremely strong, for the current Xuanfu, if the Stone City is merged as a whole, then the Xuanfu can become a super force on the Qingyuan Continent.

"The requirements of the predecessors seem to me to be too simple, every branch of my Xuanfu has a strong independence, speaking of which, my Xuanfu is more like a big alliance, but, because of the common concept, this alliance is closer. To be honest, Stone City's martial arts strength is much stronger than Xuanfu's. Everything has a reason, and the juniors don't know what the seniors in Stone Town think, so the juniors don't dare to agree. Xiao Che continued.

"Mansion Lord Xiao, I understand what you're worried about. Let's put it this way, I, Stone Town, fully agree with the concept of Xuanfu. Lord Xiao, don't look at me, Stone City is so strong now, but if it changes greatly today, if Stone City continues like this, sooner or later it will not be able to escape the end of destruction. If the Lord of the Xiao Mansion is willing to accept me from Stone City, then I can completely inform the Lord of the Xiao Mansion of the origin of the Stone Town. The old man understood what Xiao Che was worried about, and the reason why he chose Xuanfu was also after careful consideration.

"That's good, the juniors listen to you. "Xiao Che must know the origin of Stone City, otherwise, he would never have received it so confusedly.

"Lord Xiao, please come here. Saying that, everyone in Stone City returned to their respective homes, leaving only seven old people and more than twenty middle-aged people to take Xiao Che into a living room.

The living room is antique, and it doesn't feel very big from the outside, but when you enter the inside, you find that the inside is very large. It is about 500 square meters, and the living room has a long table with seven chairs on each side.

In addition, there are many seats on both sides, and the more than 20 middle-aged people are seated in turn.

The seven old men, three men and four women, were headed by the three male elders, while the female elders were headed by the previous mother-in-law.

Xiao Che knew very well that these seven were all super powerhouses above the five grades of the Supreme Realm. According to Xiao Che's perception, the cultivation of each of them is above the Wenren Battle Heaven, the old man who is the leader is about the same strength as the Sedum City, and the old woman is not simple, her cultivation can be said to be the second strongest among the people, stronger than the other two male old men. Even the more than twenty middle-aged people are all existences of the Supreme Realm, and the weakest one is also the second rank of the Supreme Realm, which makes Xiao Che quite shocked.

These people can be said to be the pinnacle of strength in Stone Town. It can be seen that Stone Town is powerful.

The old man's next narration made Xiao Che listen very attentively.

It turned out that at the beginning, it was the oldest and highest cultivator who came to Stone Town, and although he was far from having the strength he has now, he was also a rare genius in the world.

Xiao Che never expected that he would be Huo Qing, the great general of the Qingxuan Empire.

General Huo Qing, when he was a teenager, he was famous all over the world, he was not famous for martial arts, but when he was only sixteen years old, he was personally named a major general by the emperor of the Qingxuan Empire, and it was also the first time he led the army to go out, and at the age of sixteen, he led more than 10,000 iron horsemen to open up territory for the Qingxuan Empire. The original Qingxuan Empire did not have such a large chassis as it is now. At that time, the Qingxuan Empire was far from bordering Northern Yan. Not to mention the endless sea.

On that expedition, he was not the commander, but he was personally granted the right to act cheaply by the emperor, and he could not listen to the general's orders. In other words, when he went on his first expedition, the emperor actually didn't expect him to achieve much merit at all, but let him play freely.

To put it bluntly, it was for him to practice, who knew that in that war, the general of the Qingxuan Empire at that time personally led an army of more than 2 million to conquer the various ethnic groups in the northwest, but he was besieged and harassed, although he still gave the ethnic groups a blow in the end, but did not achieve the expected results.

The whole court was full of disappointment. At that time, Huo Qing, who was only sixteen years old, led more than 10,000 iron cavalry alone, traveled thousands of miles long distances, attacked the rear of various tribes in the northwest, destroyed more than 100 base camps in the northwest, and captured more than 10,000 families of the leaders of various tribes. Even if the armies of the tribes in the northwest returned to the division later, Huo Qing still entered and exited seven times, annihilating more than 100,000 enemies with more than 10,000 iron cavalry, and his own losses were no more than 2,000.

It can be regarded as saving some losses and face for the unsuccessful western expedition.

The most important thing is to make His Majesty's face shine. And I also saw his outstanding command and combat talent.

Since then, Huo Qing has been on every expedition, and his achievements have become more and more brilliant, and he became a general when he was thirty years old. It can be said that he is a rare young general in the history of the Qingxuan Empire.

He now conquered a large part of the western, northwestern and northern empire.

But then, for some reason, he "died of illness" only five years later. At that time, the whole country was in mourning. No one expected such a young general to die early.

The emperor was also quite good to him, and he was already a prince when he was alive. In the Qingxuan Empire, a different surname could not be crowned a king, and later, because many civil ministers and military generals made great contributions, the emperor of the Qingxuan Empire gave this title to the deceased princes with great merits.

Huo Qing was obviously one of them, and after his "death", he was posthumously named King Huo.

Xiao Che never thought that the old man in front of him would be the mighty general and the King Huo who would be admired by future generations.

The other two old men turned out to be from extraordinary backgrounds, one was the former emperor of the Northern Qi Dynasty, and the other was the former prime minister of Emon.

What Xiao Che didn't expect the most was the old woman, she turned out to be the famous Concubine Wei of Beiyan.

Concubine Wei of Northern Yan can be said to be a rare strange woman in the world, she was born in the Wei clan, a small tribe of the Northern Yan Empire. When she was young, she was known as the first beauty of Beiyan.

Later, he fell in love with the then Prince of Beiyan in the rivers and lakes, and the Prince of Beiyan also had a bumpy fate. Although he is the crown prince, he grew up in the people and knows the suffering of the people. However, his father died unexpectedly, and his younger brother sought power and usurped the throne, almost letting him die outside, and only Concubine Wei was by his side during those difficult days. Later, because he accounted for most of his supporters in the DPRK and China, and won the support of the people, he did not let his brother succeed.

After he became the emperor, it was the time when Beiyan rose the fastest. Concubine Wei was to consolidate his position in the court, let him marry the Wenren family, and let the Wenren family be the orthodox queen.

That queen is the Wenren queen who is as famous as her.

However, the Empress Wenren passed away in middle age, and later the Northern Yan Emperor never sealed the queen, and the harem was all respected by Wei Guifei. sweet potato

After the death of the Northern Yan Emperor, Concubine Wei's son succeeded to the throne, and she supported her son to carry out reforms in Northern Yan, so that the national strength of Northern Yan eventually surpassed that of Northern Qi and became the largest power in the north of the Qingxuan Empire.

Her son is the old emperor. The current Emperor Yu can be said to be her imperial grandson. Concubine Wei has a very high status in Beiyan. It's a pity that at that time, Emperor Yu usurped the throne, and she left Beiyan incognito for the stability of the Northern Yan Empire. Emperor Yu did not find Concubine Wei after ascending the throne, and in order to eliminate her influence, he soon announced her death. By the time she learned about it, it was all settled.

She didn't want the turmoil caused by the hard work of the two generations of emperors she assisted, so she had no choice but to leave, and finally settled in Stone Town. However, she has also been silently protecting Murong Qing's sister and brother over the years. Even the Wenren family didn't know about her existence.

Emperor Yu sent Hei Yan to look for her for so many years, but she has not heard from her, but every time Emperor Yu wants to make a move against Murong Qing's sister and brother, he will encounter great resistance. Many times it was the means of Concubine Wei and Stone Town. It's just that Emperor Yu has always thought that it is the Wenren family.

Even the Wenren family itself didn't know about it. But in this way, no one suspected her at all.

A big reason for the development of Xuanfu is because of Emperor Yu of Northern Yan, Xiao Che has a very detailed understanding of the history of Northern Yan over the years, and naturally knows Concubine Wei. It's just that he couldn't have imagined that the old woman in front of him turned out to be the legendary Concubine Wei, and she was still alive.

The other three female elders are not simple, one is a female general of the Aemon Empire, one is the highest-ranking female official in the court of Northern Qi, and the other is the former princess of the Great Treaty Kingdom.

Even those twenty-four Supreme Realm middle-aged people were once famous figures in various countries.

The identities of these people shocked Xiao Che a lot. He never imagined that the water in Stone City, a small village in the Aemon Empire, would be so deep.

This Concubine Wei is Murong Qing and Murong Ming's grandmother.

Huo Qing's Huo family has a close relationship with the Qingxuan family.

Xiao Che is familiar with the history of the Qingxuan Empire, and in the historical records, this General Huo Qing is quite unruly. Xiao Che couldn't connect the old man in the village with the kind eyes in front of him and the mighty general.

But Xiao Che knew that everything they said was true.

"God Eater" also has a great effect, that is, it can easily distinguish whether a person is lying or not. The main thing is that the "Devouring God Decision" exercise can perceive extremely subtle spiritual power fluctuations, and even if a liar covers it well, it will produce some spiritual power fluctuations.

Xiao Che didn't feel the slightest fluctuation of spiritual power in them. Moreover, Xiao Yuan was in Xiao Che's spiritual sea, and he was even more able to distinguish between truth and falsehood.

The matter of Stone Town shocked Xiao Che a lot, and what he could do now was to quickly sort out his thoughts.

Soon these old men will finish telling all of them.

Xiao Che now somewhat understood why they chose to join the Xuan Mansion.

Now threatened by the demons, all the power of the human race will be concentrated. As the powerhouses of the Supreme Realm, there is no place for them to hide. When the time comes, Stone Town will definitely be exposed to the world, which will undoubtedly be a considerable danger to them.

Everyone in Stone Town can be said to have their own story, and they basically can't see the light.

For example, if Concubine Wei appears in front of the world now, it will definitely lead to civil strife for Beiyan, and in such an environment, if Beiyan is in chaos, other countries will definitely intervene, and in this way, maybe Beiyan will fall apart in an instant.

Although Huo Qing didn't say why he left the Qingxuan Empire in the first place, Xiao Che knew that there must be more complicated things in this, and once Huo Qing showed up now, it was likely to cause a "super storm" in the Qingxuan Empire. The consequences are unbearable.

These people in Stone Town either disbanded or chose a force to remain hidden. Now it seems that Xuanfu is the most suitable choice.

After Xiao Che understood these causes and consequences, he made a decision in his heart.

"Seniors, juniors, on behalf of the Xuanfu, welcome Stone Town to join. With that, Xiao Che got up and saluted the people in this room.

"Mansion Master. "Although the strength of these people is above Xiao Che, now that they have entered the Xuan Mansion, they naturally call Xiao Che the lord of the mansion.

"The seniors and the stone city have special identities, in order to avoid unnecessary attention, the name is temporarily under my private name. Don't go through the public channels of Xuanfu, so that you can still hide your identity. How?" Xiao Che thought to the people of Stone Town.

"Lord, this is very good. Huo Qing didn't have any objection to Xiao Che's words.

"Seniors, I know a good place to go, I can move Stone City over, that place is not in my Qingyuan Continent, and you seniors can come back at any time. Xiao Che remembered the deserted city where Xiong Zhen was.

"Not in the Qingyuan Continent? Could it be that the Mansion Master has a teleportation array that can directly reach other continents? "Huo Qing, they naturally have extraordinary insight, and from Xiao Che's words, they can guess that they are inseparable. This also made them quite surprised in their hearts.

You know, it's not easy to master the teleportation array between different continents.

If they leave this continent, their identities will naturally be able to hide them well, and listening to Xiao Che's meaning, it will not be difficult for them to come back, which is a great thing.

"I wonder if my predecessors have heard of the Great Zhou Dynasty?" Xiao Che asked.

"It turned out to be Da Zhou. Okay, it seems that we have made the right choice to join Xuanfu. "Huo Qing and the seven elders obviously know about the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Xiao Che was not surprised by this, he had long known that these Supreme Realm martial artists had their own social circles.

Xiao Che believed that even these Stone City elders who lived in seclusion must have a good Supreme Realm outside to provide them with news.

And Stone Town's strength will only be stronger than he expected.

"Okay, seniors, now I still have a friend in Heling City, and there are more than 100,000 people alive in Heling City, and when I finish settling them, I will bring my friend to meet you. When you arrive in the Great Zhou Dynasty, you will inevitably trouble my friend. Xiao Che briefly told the elders about Heling City.

"Okay, we'll wait here for the Mansion Master, by the way, this is our contact information. Saying that, Elder Huo Qing handed over the contact mark to Xiao Che.

"Seniors, take care, I'll be back soon. After exchanging contact marks with them, Xiao Che left this place and headed in the direction of Heling City.

At this time, Stone Town has returned to its former appearance.

The people here have been hiding underground before, although the people in Stone City are powerful, if they really fight together, these tens of millions of blood demon bats must not be their opponents, but in that case, Stone City will be completely exposed to the world, which they absolutely do not want.

So they chose to take refuge underground for the time being. The underground of Stone Town has long been built into a convenient underground transportation network by them, and it is easy for them to escape to other places.

This time, they chose to do so in order to avoid the tide of bats.

Xiao Che left Stone City, traveled all the way, and soon returned to Heling City.

However, what he didn't expect was that just one day after he left, Heling City was in chaos.

Zhou Xiaodie clearly doesn't have the ability to organize them.

Xiao Che's departure was soon known to the people in the Heling Hidden Formation. Perhaps because of the pressure of life and death these days, it came out of nowhere, Xiao Che "escaped". For this reason, many people were very angry, and even had resentment towards Xiao Che.

At the beginning, this kind of emotion was only spread on a small scale, but when they saw that Xiao Che had not come back for so long, all kinds of negative emotions spread.
