Guo Lin was scared foolish, until now, he could not understand the situation, why the Xie villagers were not afraid of him.
Suddenly, a low rumbling sound appeared from far away.
Everyone quietened down, but Guo Lin’s heart was thumping, did the ancestor come?
Just at this time, a villager staggered in, his face full of fear: “The stone gravel beasts! The stone gravel beasts are here!”
Without finishing his words, the rumbling sound that was coming closer, caused the floor to shake like a sieve.
Before everyone could react, they heard a ‘boom’ sound, the incomplete wall, was instantly broken. Some of the stone gravel beasts the size of hills had broken in, and rushed into the village.
The stone gravel beasts were like a tide rushing in, causing everyone’s hair to stand.
Xie QIng’s eyes turned red, and shouted: “All the men of the Xie family get into positions! Xie Wan, bring the rest of the people, and retreat to the mountain!”
Is this the end….our Xie family sword village which had existed for 700 years, is this the end of our line…
Xie Qing’s heart was filled with sorrow, but he knew it was not the time to feel the sorrow, his sword aimed at Guo Lin, and said: “You will go and fight with us, if you guys can leave, I will spare you!”
Guo Lin’s face was pale, the color of white reaching down to his legs, but the cold sword tip of Xie Qing that was pointed at his throat, actually woke him up, as his face fluctuated, he clenched his teeth: “Ok!”
His heart had set his resolve, if he was able to live through this, the Xie family will not be spared.
The Xie family sword village, all the men who were able to wield swords, had red in their eyes, as they howled and swung towards the stone gravel beasts.

Seeing the amount of stone gravel beasts that covered mountains and plains like a big tide, flowing into the village, a black robed lady’s face behind a mask exposed astonishment. Beside her, was a blind old man, seated on a wheelchair, and a middle aged man standing behind and pushing the wheelchair.
The old man was frail and skinny, blinded, on his knee was an old fashioned Erhu.
“Is the Xie village broken through yet?” The old man suddenly asked, his voice hoarse and dried out, it was disgusting to listen to.
Quivering, she immediately replied: “The wall has already been broken, and the stone gravel beasts are entering.”
“I hope your information is correct.” The old man said indifferently.
The lady’s face changed, an intangible pressure, caused her to gasp for breath. She tried her best to expose a smile: “Blind senior relax, the news from Onyx Soul Horse are never wrong.”
If Tang Tian saw this black robed lady, he would definitely recognize her. She was the Onyx Soul Horse Jing Hao and him had met before.
“I heard you found the Lyra Treasury?” The old man suddenly asked.
The black robed lady hatefully replied: “Such a pity we met the people from Honorable Martial Group, and gave it up!”
Upon thinking of the encounter, her mood became extremely bad. She had spent countless of resources and energy, to finally find a lead on the Lyra Treasure, but in the end she was cheated by those two assholes!
“Honorable Martial Group?” The old man said indifferently: “You wanted to snatch up everything alone, don’t blame it on others.”
The lady in black kept quiet.
“Relax, if we are really able to find that sword, then that drop of blood is yours.” The old man said coldly: “For your little sister to have you as an older sister, she is lucky.”
The lady in black had her entire figure shake, her eyes suddenly becoming wide, angrily said: “You runned a check on me?”
“Why shouldn’t I?” The old man retorted.
The black clothed lady was mute, she tightly bit her lips, until they became white.
“Why use the stone gravel beasts?” The old man was oblivious to her anger, and asked directly.
The black clothed lady was quiet for a while, and explained: “The stone gravel beasts are earth affinity star spirit beasts, and can advance forward without obstruction, although they are quite slow. Wherever it cannot go near, it is where the treasured sword is.”
She continued explaining: “After a few hundred years, the surrounding soil around the treasured sword, will have a change in affinity due to the power of the sword, and the stone gravel beasts are unable to go near it.”
“Such an ingenious method.” the old man complimented indifferently.
The black robed lady bit her lips, and suddenly said: “This is Guo Dong’s territory.”
“I know him.” The old man nodded, the hollow eye cavity, was like a void hole, and his unpleasant voice, sounded like it drifted into nothingness as well: “Fire Crow Headsman. Keke.”
When he suddenly made that weird nose ‘keke’, the black robed girl jumped in fright.
The black robed girl did not dare say much anymore, on the outside, this old man’s character was normal, but he was a real demon killer that would not blink. And he had actually checked up on her, this caused her to be more afraid.
The old man suddenly let out an expression of surprise.
Those hollow eye cavities, were looking towards the direction of the Xie family sword village. The black robed lady noticed his surprise, and immediately gazed towards the same direction. She had just arrived, although the old man did not say anything, but she could hear, that the movements last time did not go smoothly.
A strong and vigorous figure, was in the middle of the stone gravel beasts, ever sword move would cause a stone gravel beast to fall.
The light cry of the sword could be heard very clearly despite the distance.
The old man kept on listening to it, and his constant emotionless face, suddenly exposed a praiseful look: “Such a splendid sword cry! Given enough time, his future would be limitless!”
“You will give him time?” The black robed lady asked back.
He shook his head, as he straightforwardly said: “No.”
He muttered to himself: “The last time we saw those two outstanding young men, but they have not appeared yet, that’s weird.”
It was like he felt sorrowful, but also felt like he was relieved.
