He paused for a moment, and the rock seemed to be completely immersed in memories, with gentle eyes flowing out. After a while, he continued: "This matter was soon known to my father. I am my father's only son and the future successor of the Pu Rock tribe. My father originally wanted me to marry the daughter of a large tribe leader. When he knew that I loved Yun'er, he strongly opposed it, but how could I be easily defeated? My father once asked me to choose between the position of the tribe leader and Yun'er, and I chose Yun'er without hesitation. In the end, my father had no choice but to agree to our marriage under the pressure of all kinds of twists and turns over the years. The memories of those years are still vivid in my mind. We have been married for only two years now, and these two years have been a life like that of the gods for me. I am so happy, really happy. Every time I leave home to do business, I think about it, and there is gentle Yun'er waiting for me at home. She must be cooking my favorite dishes and waiting for me to come back. As soon as I think of her, my heart is filled with sweetness and hope. Yesterday, when your sword was about to cut me down, the only thought in my mind was that I would never see my beloved Yun'er again. Later, you chose to hurt yourself rather than hurt me, and I am really grateful for that. Because as long as I am alive and return home, I can see Yun'er again. But she's gone, my happiness is gone, it disappeared so suddenly, brother, how can I accept this?!" When he said this, the rock burst into tears. Tears kept flowing down, wetting his collar.

  After hearing the story of Yán Shí and Cloud, Ah Dāi was deeply moved. The love between Yán Shí and Cloud, which was carved into his heart, kept shaking his heartstrings.

  After a long time, the rock's emotions calmed down a bit, and he choked back tears to say: "My Yun'er was so kind, she never provoked anyone, absolutely no one would have a grudge against her. She was good to everyone, even if it was just a wounded kitten or puppy, she would heal them. But, but she's gone like that. With resentment and pain, who is it, who is so heartless?! Not even sparing Yun'er, such a kind girl. I'm so angry, I really am so angry, if I hadn't gone out on patrol today and stayed by her side, Yun'er wouldn't have died."

  Ah-Dai patted the shoulder of the rock and asked: "Brother Rock, have there been any outsiders visiting your tribe recently?"

  The rock shook his head and said affirmatively, "No, absolutely not. Our Pu Rock tribe has always had little contact with outsiders, let alone bring them to our own clan. If you hadn't spared my life yesterday and weren't related to the Tian Feng Sword Sect, I would never have brought you back to the clan. Brother, I really don't want to live anymore, I want to die, I want to go underground to follow Yun'er, maybe there we can be together again. Now the only thing I can't let go of is Yun'er's revenge. I must tear that demon into pieces." A cold killing aura filled the entire carriage, and for a moment, Ah Dai suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.

  The gaze of the rock gradually turned cold, and he said in a low voice: "Ah, stupid brother, thank you for waking me up. I will definitely avenge Cloud's death, what you said is right, that demon is likely to be someone from our clan, and it's even more possible that this demon is among us. Because Cloud has followed me for so long, she must have learned some martial arts skills, if the demon wanted to silence her without making a sound, he must have extraordinary abilities. I believe he killed Cloud with a purpose, and he will appear again. After you get off the carriage, don't tell anyone that I woke up, when we return to Father's place, I will definitely find out who the enemy is. The people guarding the horse carriage around us are all brothers I absolutely trust, they won't leak our conversation."

  The silly Ah Diao nodded and said: "Brother Rock, don't be too sad, our enemy will definitely surrender."

  Yan Shi closed his eyes, squeezed out the last two tears and said in a cold voice: "From now on, I won't be sad anymore. My heart only has hatred. Ah Dai brother, get off the car, wipe away your tears. Don't let others see."

  Ah-Dai wiped away his tears and said: "Rocky big brother, take care." He turned around and was about to get off the vehicle.

  "Wait a minute." The rock yelled at Ah-Dai.

  A'Dai turned back and asked: "Brother Rock, is there anything else?"

  Yan Shi looked at Ah Diao deeply and said: "Brother, you are indeed a kind-hearted good person, thank you. From now on, you are my best brother."

  Ah-Dai grasped the hand of Yan Shi, "Big brother, I have no siblings, and was lonely since childhood. Having you as a big brother is my good fortune!"

  Back on the carriage, Ah-Dai sat down beside Xuan-Yue under everyone's gaze.

  Yuè Hén asked: "How is the rock?"

  A'Dai shook his head and said, "Yan Shi's condition is very bad, he's completely traumatized by his wife's death, not saying a word, just staring at her coffin." A'Dai thought to himself, this is the first time I've lied, Yan Shi, I hope you can find your enemy soon.

  "His wife died so young, it's really pitiful."

  Xuan Yue suddenly opened her eyes, looked at Ah Dai, and didn't make a sound.

  One day later, under the escort of 500 warriors from the Puyan tribe, they arrived at the largest tribe in the southwest of the Puyan tribe - the Rocky Tribe. Everyone here has the surname Yan, and Yan Shi's father is the leader of this tribe, as well as the patriarch of the entire Puyan tribe.

  Five hundred warriors stopped on a small hillside in front of the Rock Tribe. Perhaps they had already received news, when Ah-Dai and others got off the carriage, more than a thousand armor-clad Rock Tribe warriors came out from the tribe to welcome them. They were all light cavalry, wearing leather armor, holding long spears, with spearheads pointing diagonally at the ground, shining brightly in the sunlight, and a murderous aura spread throughout the entire team. The Rock Tribe was much larger than the tribe where the rocks were located, and as far as the eye could see, there were stone houses of various sizes and shapes everywhere, covering an area as large as a big city. There were also some magnificent tall stone buildings, and the area occupied by the tribe was so vast that it was hard to take in at a glance from the small hillside.

  One thousand soldiers emerged from the rock village, forming a wing-shaped array, blocking Ah-Dai's team. Yan Ju ordered all warriors to stop advancing, dismounted his horse, and shouted loudly: "I am Yan Ju, which brother leads this team?"

  "Is that Rocky, the big brother?! I heard something's happened? The clan leader sent me to welcome you." Along with a thick voice, a cavalryman rushed out from the opponent's light cavalry camp. This person's horsemanship was extremely skilled, and the tall black stallion was like a black lightning bolt, quickly rushing over. Rocky didn't show any surprise at the other party's speed, and a faint smile appeared on his face.

  The knight on the black horse seemed to have merged with the horse, his body slightly leaning forward, lightly swaying with the galloping hooves. In an instant, he arrived in front of the giant rock. When the black horse was about five meters away from the giant's high head, the knight on the black horse shouted loudly and suddenly pulled the reins. The black horse let out a long neigh and jumped up under the control of the knight, landing to one side and stopping.

  Yan Ju burst out laughing and said: "Yan Li brothers, your horsemanship is getting better and better!"

  The warrior known as Rock Giant was not tall, but extremely robust, in his early twenties, with a fierce aura on his face. His bare arms had bulging muscles and twisted veins, clearly a strength-type warrior. The black horse under him was exceptionally spirited, its black coat shining like silk in the sunlight. After the sudden stop from the rapid gallop, it only breathed slightly heavily, seemingly unaffected. "Rock Giant brother, what happened? Where's Rock brother? I heard your people say that Cloud sister...?"

  Yan Ju said solemnly, "Xiao Yun is really pitiful, let's not talk about it for now. The bodies of Yan Shi and Xiao Yun are in the carriage behind us, let's enter the tribe first and discuss everything after the elder arrives."

  Yan Li's eyes blazed with anger, and he let out a heavy hum, saying: "Who the hell did this? If I find out, I'll make sure to break his bones and scatter his ashes. Come on, Yan Ju Big Brother, take me to see Yan Shi quickly. He and Yun Er sister have such deep feelings for each other, it must be really tough for him."

  Yan Ju sighed and said, "The rock has suffered a great blow, Xiao Yun is dead, and he took his heart with him. Since we set out on this journey, he hasn't spoken a word, nor would he eat, and he's lost a lot of weight, as if he's been stunned." He turned the horse around and led Yan Li towards the carriage carrying the rock. The carriage carrying the rock was behind them, and Yan Ju and Yan Li had to pass by Ah Dai and his group first. When Yan Li saw Ah Dai and his group, she furrowed her brow and said, "Yan Ju big brother, who are these people? Why are they in your group?"

  Yan Jiu Dao: "These outsiders were brought back by the rock from outside on the day of the incident, they seem to be guests of the rock. As soon as they returned to the tribe, Xiao Yun died, I suspected them and brought them all here, please elder decide."

  Yan Li's eyes gleamed with a fierce light, he dismounted his horse and strode towards Ah Dai and the others. As he drew closer, Ah Dai saw that Yan Li had two short-handled battle axes inserted into his back, the handles were less than a foot long, but the axe heads were enormous, the two crossed axes almost completely covering Yan Li's broad back.

  Yan Li bluntly said: "What kind of people are you? Is it you who harmed Yun'er sister?"

  Yuè Hén furrowed his brow, worried that what he had feared would happen after all. The Pu Yan tribe's habit of being hostile to outsiders was bound to lead to misunderstandings! He hastily explained: "We are mercenaries, preparing to head to the Tian Yuan tribe to complete a task. On our way through the noble territory, we encountered the Rock brothers and had previously clashed with them, but later became friends. The Rock brothers invited us to be guests in their tribe, who would have thought that something like this would happen? We absolutely do not harbor any malicious intentions towards the Pu Yan tribe, and we've been together with the Rock brothers all along, so how could we possibly harm his wife?"

  Yan Ju also jumped down from his horse and said, "Don't clear yourselves so hastily. When you arrived at the tribe, Xiao Yun had already been dead for several hours. Whether or not it was your doing, let the tribal elder decide. Although I also believe in you, as the vice leader of the Rocky Tribe, I cannot let go of anyone who is suspicious. It's really sorry to trouble you to come here. I believe that right and wrong will be self-evident, and the old tribal elder will definitely investigate until the truth is revealed."

  A flash of cold light, and the two large axes behind Rock Power were already in his hands. With a loud roar, he chopped towards Moon Scar. The two dark lights arrived at Moon Scar's face in an instant. This sudden change frightened Moon Scar, who was unable to draw his sword in time. He could only rely on his agile movements to dodge and retreat to the side. Rock Power showed no mercy, roaring with anger as he chopped the short axes towards Moon Scar. The heavy battle-axes that seemed to have a lot of weight appeared light as if they were nothing in Rock Power's hands. The dark lights crisscrossed each other, with an extremely frightening momentum.

  "Clang——" A loud noise came, and the people around temporarily lost their hearing. Ah-Dai took three steps back with his hands grasping the Tian-Gan sword before stabilizing himself, this rock's power was truly terrifying, seemingly even surpassing that of the rocks themselves. It turned out that Ah-Dai saw Yue-Heng fall into danger, so he had to use a move to resolve his crisis.

  Yan Li's battle axe was sealed by Ah Diao for a moment, and the two axes bounced back, his whole body swaying, and he involuntarily took a step back.

  "A'Dai took a deep breath, suppressing the surging blood and anger in his chest, and shouted: 'How can you not distinguish between right and wrong? You came up and attacked Brother Yuè Hén without any provocation! We didn't provoke you at all!'"

  "Let's go, it must be you foreigners who harmed Yun'er sister. Apart from you, who else would do such a thing? Today I will kill you first and avenge Yun'er sister." As he spoke, he wielded his battle axe and was about to charge again.

  Yan Ju grabbed Yan Li from behind and shouted: "Yan Li, what are you doing? You're not allowed to move them until things are clear!"

  Yan Li struggled with all his might, and Yan Ju seemed to be having trouble holding him back. "Yan Ju big brother, let me go! Who else besides them would harm Yun Er sister? She's so kind-hearted, you bunch of beasts, why did you kill her?! I'll kill you all for revenge!" Yan Li's words made the surrounding Pu Yan tribe warriors glare at Ah Dai and his group with anger, clearly sharing the same sentiment. The warriors had already dismounted their horses, drawn out their long knives from behind their backs, and surrounded them, looking like they were about to chop everyone into pieces. Wan Li, Miao Fei, and Yue Ji couldn't help but draw out their own weapons as well.

  Xuan Yue walked up to Ah Dai's side, coldly staring at Yan Li and said: "Are all of you Pu Yan tribe people a group of simple-minded individuals? Killing us will allow you to avenge? What evidence do you have to say that we are the murderers. Are all of your Pu Yan tribe people so foolish?" As she spoke, a thick white light burst forth from Xuan Yue's body, enveloping the six of them in a holy aura.

  The sacred aura emanating from Xuanyue's body brought a sense of calmness to the crowd, and their fear suddenly weakened.

  Yan Li's anger had dissipated, and he furrowed his brow, saying, "So there was a magician after all."

  Ah-Dai's eyes widened in fear as he stood beside Xuan Yue, staring intently at Yan Li, ready to strike at any moment. Under the continuous circulation of his true energy, he had already suppressed the surging blood and qi from earlier. The Tian Gang sword emitted a faint, flickering light.

  Xuan Yue gently shook the magic wand in her hand, glaring at Rock Power, waves of white light constantly surging from her wand, ready to attack at any time. Her other hand touched the Phoenix Blood on her chest, preparing to use her strongest attack when necessary. She had been spoiled since childhood, and naturally, she was furious in this situation.

  Yuehen has recovered from the shock just now, he did not draw out the long sword behind his back, and shouted at the rock: "Now that the wife of Brother Rock has just passed away, can't you go and see him? We can't run away even if we want to. If you investigate and confirm that it was indeed us who did it, you can flay us alive anytime. This is the place where your Pu Rock clan's power is the greatest, are you afraid that we will escape? If you want to kill us without any reason, we will absolutely not wait for death with our hands tied."

  Yan Ju grabbed Yan Li's sturdy arm and said angrily, "Yan Li, don't you even listen to your big brother's words? Let's go take a look at the Rocky brothers first, then we'll wait for the clan leader's decision."

  Yan Li's angry hum, raised his left arm, pointed at Yue Hen with a battle axe: "You wait, if you really killed Yun Er sister, I will chop you to death with one axe." After finishing speaking, he turned around and walked towards the horse carriage behind. Without their leader, other Pu Yan tribe warriors also retreated under Yan Ju's scolding.

  Yan Ju let out a deep sigh, shook his head and said: "Everyone, please don't mind, my brother Yan Li has had a very hot temper since he was young, I apologize to you all on his behalf."

  Miao Fei curled his lip and said, "What's the use of apologizing? Hurry up and investigate the facts clearly. We have very important things to do and can't afford to be delayed here with you."

  Yan Yu nodded slightly and stopped talking, chasing after Yan Li instead.

  When Yan Li walked down from the carriage made of rocks, his face turned iron green, and his whole body kept emitting waves of killing aura. He stared at Ah Dai and others for a moment, then rode on his black horse, commanding the five hundred people who came with him from the Rock Tribe to surround everyone and head towards the tribe. Yan Ju was afraid that Yan Li would cause more trouble, so he followed closely behind Yue Hen, his face also extremely serious.

  After entering the tribe, Yan Ju arranged for everyone to enter a stone house and locked the door from the outside, dispatching dozens of warriors to guard it, while he and Yan Li hurriedly went to see the tribal chief.

  Miao Fei sat on the stool, let out a heavy hum and said: "What's going on here! How come we're so unlucky to encounter such a thing? Yuehen big brother, if they insist on saying that we killed Yanshi's wife, can't we just wait for death?"

  Yuehen glared at him and said, "Miao Fei, calm down. Now that things have developed to this point, we can only wait. This Pu Yan tribe's largest clan has tens of millions of people, how could you possibly fight your way out? We're under their roof, and right now, we don't even have the possibility of resisting. Besides, since we haven't done anything wrong, what are we afraid of? Let's just wait and see. I refuse to believe that Yan Shi's father, as the leader of the Pu Yan tribe, won't be able to see the truth."

  "Even if we find out the truth, what can we do? The murderer is cunning and hasn't left any clues. How are they supposed to investigate? Are we going to be trapped here forever just because they can't solve it? This killer must have planned this for a long time, I'm afraid it's going to be very difficult to catch them! That short-tempered man named Gantetsu is the most hateful, he came at my brother without saying anything. I really want to shoot an arrow through his head."

  Yuehen said: "He's just a roughneck, what are you bothering with him for?"

  Xuan Yue sat on the bed, fiddling with her magic wand, and said: "Anyway, I have plenty of time, they take care of food and accommodation here, just wait." After finishing speaking, she glanced at Ah Dai and said to him: "You come over, sit next to me."

  Since yesterday, Xuan Yue used her tranquil light to save the rock despite the danger of exhausting her magical powers. Ah Dai's attitude towards her has changed a lot, and when he heard her call, he sat down and whispered: "Yueyue, aren't you worried at all? If it really doesn't work out, let's use the scroll to call your father over, maybe he can save us?"

  Xuan Yue shook his head and leaned in close to Ah Dai's ear, whispering: "If Dad comes, what can I play with? By the way, what did Yanshi say to you today?"

  The silly and honest low voice said: "Rocky brother, he said, ah, he's still stunned, didn't say anything!" Because the stone bed was at the other end of the room, the two deliberately lowered their voices, so Moon Shadow and others did not hear. They were still discussing ways to escape.

  Xuan Yue curled her lip and said, "You still want to deceive me. If he didn't tell you anything, why is your sleeve wet? You've been wiping away tears, haven't you?"

  A'Dai obviously didn't think that Xuan Yue's observation was so meticulous, and a hint of embarrassment flashed across his face. He leaned in close to Xuan Yue's ear and whispered: "Ge Shi woke up, but he told me not to tell anyone else that he's awake, saying it's to help find the murderer. You mustn't say anything about this!"

  The warm breath of Ah Diao blew into Xuan Yue's ear, and Xuan Yue couldn't help but dodge a little, giggling and scolding: "Why are you so close to me, annoying."

  "Look at you two, it's already this late and you're still in the mood to fool around. I'm telling you, Miss Gengetsu, as a high-level magician, can't you just cast some kind of teleportation magic to get us all out of here?" Her words immediately lit up Wanli and Miao Fei's eyes, for them, this place was simply too dangerous, with the risk of losing their lives at any moment.

  Xuan Yue grunted, her back against Ah Dai's, leaning on his shoulder. "You don't understand, so don't talk nonsense," she said. "Transmission magic is not that easy to use. It's a specialty of spatial system mages, and it's extremely difficult. Even for spatial mages, if they're not at least a Grand Mage level, it's hard to transport people. I'm studying light system magic, after all. Moreover, if we leave now, wouldn't that be admitting guilt and becoming scapegoats for the murderer? Do you want to be chased by the Pu Yan tribe every day on this continent? You can run if you want, but I won't leave until things are clear."

  Yuehen coughed and said, "Miss Xuan Yue is right, we absolutely cannot leave now, we must wait. I estimate it won't be long before their clan leader summons us. Let's see him first and then talk about it. Things have reached this point, all we can do is wait."

  At this moment, the stone house door opened and Yanju and Yanli walked in together. Yanju was expressionless, while Yanli had an angry look on his face and said loudly: "Let's go, follow us to see the patriarch."

  "Three-inch nail, speak more politely, we are not your prisoners," Moon Girl said angrily.

  Yan Li was furious and roared, "Who did you say is the three-inch nail?" Wu Guang flashed by, and the two battle axes were back in his hands. Yan Ju hurriedly pulled him back and apologized to Yue Ji, "Sorry everyone, my brother has a bad temper. The clan leader invites you all and wants to ask about your situation yesterday."

  Yuè Hén nodded, made a gesture to Chōng ā Dāi and Xuán Yuè, and said: "Alright, let's go." As he spoke, he stood up and was about to head out.

  Yan Ju stretched out his hand to stop Yue Hen and said: "Please leave your weapons in this room before leaving."

  Miao Fei angrily said: "What? You still want us to leave our weapons behind? No way, what if you resort to force?"

  Yan Li coldly sneered: "With just the few of you, even if you really engage in combat, with your weapons and abilities, what can you do? In the end, it will still be a tragic defeat."

  Miao Fei hated it the most when others looked down on him, and upon hearing this, he became furious, saying: "What did you say? Are you very powerful? Do you want to compare paintings first?" He was skilled in technique, but didn't take Rock's infinite strength seriously.

  Yuè Hén grasped Miao Fei's arm, glanced at Yan Li who was ready to fight, and put down his own long sword, saying: "Everyone, let's leave our weapons behind."

  Yuè Jī and Wàn Lǐ didn't say anything, apparently very convinced by Yuè Hén. They directly put down their weapons on the table. Miáo Fēi also took off his soft sword under Yuè Hén's glare, reluctantly throwing it aside.

  At this moment, a red light suddenly flashed in the room, and everyone looked at the direction of the red light in surprise. Only to see Xuan Yue spreading her hands and saying: "I don't have any weapons." It turned out that she had used the Phoenix Blood to put away her magic wand and Ah Dai's Tian Ge Sword when Moon Scar and others put down their weapons earlier. But what she didn't know was that Ah Dai still had a Tian Xia Zhi Xie - Ming Wang Jian on his chest.

  Yan Li snorted and said, "Whether or not you have a weapon is something you know best. If you go to the clan leader's place with a weapon, it's absolutely impossible to get in. You're looking for death yourself, don't blame us." After finishing speaking, he turned his head and walked out.

  The crowd followed Yan Ju and Yan Li, surrounded by a group of Pu Rock tribe warriors, walking towards the center of the Rock Tribe. It took them half an hour to arrive at a magnificent building in the heart of the Rock Tribe. The building was entirely made of rock, triangular in shape, with a height of over 30 meters and covering several thousand square meters. It was the largest building in the entire Rock Tribe. Outside the three-meter stone gate stood twenty warriors guarding it. Unlike the light armor cavalry before, they wore extremely heavy black heavy armor that completely covered their bodies, including their heads, which were hidden under helmets with face masks, making it impossible to see their faces. Each heavily armored soldier held a giant battle axe in his hand, standing majestically and exuding an aura of extraordinary skill. If not for the skin color revealed through the gaps in the armor, these motionless warriors seemed like statues from the outside.

  Yan Ju and Yan Li stopped in front of the 20 heavily armored warriors, and Yan Li, who was normally arrogant and violent, surprisingly showed great respect and saluted the heavily armored warriors. He pointed to Ah Dai and the others behind him and said: "Holy Tilu warriors, greetings. The tribe leader has asked us to bring these outsiders to see him, please let them pass."

  Twenty heavily armored warriors simultaneously sidestepped and cleared the road, with no one speaking in between. Their uniform movements showcased their well-trained foundation.

  Yan Ju walked to Yan Li's side, also saluting the twenty warriors before turning to the crowd that was about to follow him and nodded. He reminded everyone: "This is our Pu Yan tribe's most sacred Ti Lu Temple, only when something major happens will it be decided here, don't speak casually after entering, follow my and Yan Li's footsteps."

  Yan Ju's kindness towards everyone had earned their respect. Yue Hen hastily nodded and said, "We will."

  Yan Ju's gaze was heavy as he looked at Ah Diao and Xuan Yue, saying: "If you have any weapons on you, it's best to take them out quickly. Otherwise, once the mechanisms in front of the Temple of God discover them, the Tilu warriors will inevitably launch an attack, and by then, no one can save you."

  Xuan Yue didn't believe that there was any power that could detect the items in the Phoenix Blood, and she spread out her hands, saying: "I don't have anything on me, what are you looking at?"

  A'Doh's heart skipped a beat, the Reaper Sword at his chest was something he couldn't take out no matter what, but seeing how serious Ya'Kor was being, it seemed like these Tiro warriors were extremely formidable. After hesitating for a moment, A'Doh chose to remain silent. He didn't want to harm anyone here due to the evil power of the Reaper Sword.

  Yan Ju let out a soft sigh and said, "In that case, let's go." With that, he led the crowd towards the temple.

  Before entering the temple, Yan Li threw away the two battle axes behind him and walked in with his head held high. Yan Ju followed him in, followed by Yue Hen, Miao Fei, Wan Li, Yue Ji, and Xuan Yue. As expected by Xuan Yue, under the effect of the divine artifact Phoenix Blood, the weapons were not detected at all.
