The Tenth Elder watched the scene and asked.

"Let Shi the Third vent a bit. After all, Li Mu has caused considerable harm to the Stone Race, and letting out some steam might make him feel a bit better."

"Letting him vent is one thing, but I’m afraid he might be killed by Li Mu!"

The Tenth Elder said indifferently.

Shi the Third shattered half of the Crystal Stone, and had just recently reached Late-Stage Eighth Realm. It was just a case of enemies meeting, forcing him to hold on to his breath.

And at this moment, the two of them had already fought out of the hall.

The space around them was shattered into pieces by their fight.

The commotion attracted the guards from the Royal City.

But upon seeing the Third Ancestor and the Great Ancestor fighting, and it didn’t seem like a mere spar, they were dumbfounded.

Shi Jun was stunned!

But then he shouted loudly, "Great Ancestor, Third Ancestor, stop fighting!"

Yet the two of them completely ignored him.

Especially Shi the Third, upon hearing the words ’Great Ancestor’, fought even more fiercely, determined to harm his enemy even if it meant hurting himself.

"What on earth is happening?"

Shi Jun frowned deeply, his heart anxious.

Two ancestors of the Stone Race, no!

Wasn’t the Third Ancestor supposed to be dead?

What on earth is happening?

He felt as if his mind could not comprehend it all!

At this moment, Brother Shi and others also slowly emerged from the main hall.

"Tree-man Race!"

Shi Jun’s expression shook. As a member of the Royal Family, he certainly knew about the Tree-man Race’s existence, but weren’t they in Hidden Forest Abyss?

How did they end up in the Royal City?!

Moreover, those two gave him a sense of extreme danger!

"How did you appear in our Royal City?"

Shi Jun slowly spoke.

"No rush, Shi the Third will tell you all soon."

Brother Shi smiled gently, then nodded slightly to Elder Shizhan, "It’s about time, Brother Shi!"

Suddenly, the Tenth Elder sent out a palm strike, directly separating the two fighters.

"That’s enough, stop now!"

"Brother Shi, what do you intend to do?"

Shi the Third roared angrily. With blood-red eyes, he retained a scrap of reason. Were it not for considering how the Tree-man Race helped him return to the Stone Race, he might have charged right in.

"Having more friends is better than more enemies, right?"

Speaking so, he looked at Li Mu with a smiling gaze.

"So it was all orchestrated by you!"

Li Mu looked coldly at Brother Shi.

"Not killing you is already giving you face. Back then, the Li Family killed many members of my race."

The Tenth Elder spoke with a cold voice.

If not instructed beforehand by the Clan Leader, his desire to kill Li Mu would have been even stronger than Shi the Third’s.

Compared to the Qin Family, the Tree-man Race was slaughtered by the Li Family to the point of not daring to show their faces.

If it weren’t for the Li Family’s self-destruction, the Eastern Continent wouldn’t have been left to the Qin Family.

As for Shi Jun and the others of the Royal Family, they were completely confused, unable to understand!

Who is Li Mu?

Wasn’t that the Great Ancestor?

"Alright, we’re all people of status, and we share a common enemy. Isn’t there a saying among the Human Race: the enemy of my enemy is my friend? Let’s talk."

Brother Shi said indifferently.

"Wait here!"

Shi the Third glanced at Shi Jun and the others, then flew towards his hall.

"Let’s go!"

Brother Shi smiled. He understood Shi the Third’s anger.

But for the greater cause, he had to swallow his pride.

Leading the people of the Tree-man Race, he flew towards the Three Ancestors Hall, while Li Mu sighed and also flew over.

Leaving Shi Jun and the others behind, their minds in disarray.

"Is there a problem with the Great Ancestor?"

A young member of the Royal Family beside him asked weakly.

"Shut up!"

Shi Jun glared at him fiercely, finally understanding now.

Why did the Great Ancestor make such a decision?

So that’s how it is!

Inside the Three Ancestors Hall.

Shi the Third sat in the upper seat with a gloomy face, Brother Shi and the others sat on the left, while the last to arrive, Li Mu, sat on the right.

"Was all this Qingyu Xian’s idea?"

He looked at Brother Shi, asking coldly.

"Of course!"

By this point, there was no need to hide, and he admitted straightforwardly.

"You shouldn’t be angry, there’s no need."

"After all, the Stone Race will return to your control, we won’t interfere with that."

"However, Li Mu must not die. The Li Family ruled the Eastern Continent for so long, they understand Great Yu’s tactics the best, including arrays, Cultivation Techniques, and such. Keeping them is useful."

"This is not only the Clan Leader’s intention but also the consensus of several major dangerous areas!"

His words were a warning to Shi the Third, not to resist, or the Stone Race wouldn’t mind changing an ancestor.

It was as simple as that!

"Ha! Several major dangerous areas? What about the Stone Race then?"

Shi the Third sneered, questioning him.

"Ha!"

Brother Shi also chuckled, "Authority is determined by power, Shi the Third. You should understand this, right?"

"You...!"

Shi the Third was so enraged by his words that his internal blood was boiling. If not suppressed, he might have spat blood on the spot.

Well spoken!

Weakness is the original sin, is it?

"Phew——"

He exhaled slowly to calm himself, "Anything else?"

"The energy left by the ancestors of the Stone Race is still within my race, so you need to open a passage allowing the Stone Race to come to my race."

"Although we have fought out from Hidden Forest Abyss, the Human Race has sent experts." 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

"And they are setting up the Celestial Fire Array which suppresses my race, so we need the help of the Stone Race."

He then turned to Li Mu, "I remember the Celestial Fire Array was created by your Li Family, break it!"

"I will try!"

Facing the resolute Brother Shi and the fear-inducing Tenth Elder, Li Mu could only agree.
