But... his gaze fell on his right hand, flesh and blood blurred, with jade-like bones visible.

A surge of bloodthirsty aura was about to burst out, but he forcibly swallowed it back.

Chen Xuan looked at the Third Ancestor with apprehension.

No wonder a mid-Eighth Layer Dao Realm expert, just one punch injured him severely.

At this time, in the distance, Li Mu was watching this scene coldly.

The sudden stabilization of the space above the royal city was certainly his doing.

"If you don’t call for reinforcements now, you’ll die!"

His eerie tone made even Chen Xuan, a thousand meters away, feel an icy chill.

Their eyes met.

Li Mu’s face was cold and sinister; it was all because of him. If it weren’t for the delays, the Li Family wouldn’t have had to make sacrifices, and Li Fu wouldn’t have had to die.

Were it not for facing the two Great Ancestors of the Stone Race, he wished he could personally kill him.

"Sigh—"

Chen Xuan exhaled slowly; if it were just at the initial stage of the Eighth Layer Dao Realm, he wouldn’t be afraid.

But the mid-stage... the gap in strength was too vast.

"Chief Eunuch... Originally, I didn’t want to make you risk it, but..." 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

That black copper coin was instantly activated by him.

Meanwhile, Liu Sheng, in the Human Race’s main camp, suddenly opened his eyes, but he let out a sigh of relief.

For such a long time, he had been worried.

But the activation of that black copper coin turned out to be a good thing, at least the lad was still fine.

The white copper coin was instantly thrown out by him, immediately turning into a portal.

"Chief Eunuch!"

Wu Jin abruptly stood up from his cultivation.

"Wait here!"

"Inform your father to be ready to assist me!"

Then he stepped into the portal.

The two copper coins were teleportation arrays left from ancient times; activating one would cause the other to respond.

Inside the spatial passage.

Liu Sheng’s expression was solemn, the spiritual power in him already poised to strike; after all, it was the Stone Race!

Even with him, he had no confidence, and staying in the Stone Race’s territory for too long would cause suppression.

Other perilous places were the same.

This was the main reason the Human Race had never solved these perilous lands.

Upon seeing the white light at the end of the passage, Liu Sheng’s expression concentrated, and in the next moment, the scene shifted, appearing above the royal city.

His gaze scanned around!

All of them were Mid-Eighth Layer Dao Realm, that is... Li Family’s people!

Liu Sheng’s gaze instantly locked onto Li Mu; the Li Family was annihilated by the Qin Family, their kingdom taken, he was certainly familiar with their aura, along with that faint imperial majesty.

Even after several generations, it still lingered.

"Chief Eunuch!"

Seeing Liu Sheng, Chen Xuan inexplicably felt a sense of security.

"This is...?"

Only then did Liu Sheng turn his gaze to Chen Xuan.

"Li Mu, Human Race, and those three Stone Race ancestors!"

"The situation roughly is that Li Mu wants to kill the three of them; in the end, he should be preparing to take over and control the Stone Race!"

That’s his guess, but it should generally be correct.

Only unsure of what means Li Mu used.

"Bad to the core!"

Liu Sheng looked at Li Mu, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

Compared to the Stone Race, he more wanted to kill Li Mu.

"I was wondering who was behind this lad; it turns out to be the renowned Chief Eunuch Liu Sheng of Great Yu!"

Li Mu said indifferently.

Meanwhile, the moment Liu Sheng appeared, the three Great Ancestors of the Stone Race instantly gathered together, especially the Great Ancestor, with a vigilant expression.

The powerhouse of Great Yu!

An old-school Peak of Eighth Layer Dao Realm expert, if it were his prime, it’d be manageable, but now suppressed, they were no match for him!

"Boss, what do we do?"

The Third Ancestor transmitted his voice.

This Late Stage Eighth Layer Li Mu was already enough to trouble them; now, there came a Peak Eighth Layer Liu Sheng.

If things went wrong, the three of them might end up here today.

He wasn’t afraid to die!

But if they all died, the Stone Race would be doomed!

"Don’t panic!"

Even for Liu Sheng, it wouldn’t be easy to kill them.

"Are you ready?"

The Third and Second Ancestors heard his voice, and their bodies trembled, knowing what he meant.

Yet they still replied in unison, "Yes!"

Everything for the Stone Race!

"You and I join forces to kill those three; that way, the Human Race loses a strong enemy, how about it?"

Li Mu asked Liu Sheng.

"Liu Sheng, you kill him, we won’t interfere, and afterward, we’ll allow the two of you to leave the Stone Race."

At this moment, the Great Ancestor also spoke.

Beside him, Chen Xuan felt somewhat awkward; the parties could be considered mortal enemies, yet now they were all drawing in Liu Sheng, and it felt really strange to him.

"Alas!"

He sighed inwardly.

As expected, there are no eternal enemies, and foes can become friends as long as there’s interest.

But Liu Sheng wasn’t a fool either.

As for Li Mu, he couldn’t be bothered to respond, so he looked at the Great Ancestor of the Stone Race, "Kill him, and I shall keep your Stone Race safe for a hundred years!"

Using him as a tool?

Did they really think he was an idiot!

He saw that the Great Ancestor of the Stone Race was being suppressed, and what made him wary was that this was the Stone Race’s royal city; they were bound to have some trump card.

And Li Mu, merely a Late Stage Eighth Layer, had no qualification to negotiate with him.

Moreover, being a remnant of the previous dynasty, relatively speaking, he was more appealing than the Stone Race.

Kill him!

Even if Emperor Yu knew he entered the Stone Cave, he had a legitimate reason, and he absolutely wouldn’t blame him.

"Good!"

Chen Xuan shouted in his heart.

The Chief Eunuch was truly astute, kicking the ball back to the Stone Race with just one sentence.

"A hundred years?"

The Great Ancestor murmured. To be honest, he was a bit tempted since, although the Stone Race had reached its peak, its top-tier strength was still lacking significantly.

There was only him at the Peak of Eighth Layer Dao Realm.

If all three of them could reach this realm, even Great Yu would have to think twice before dealing with them.

Even if eventually the Stone Race were destroyed, Great Yu would lose much as well.

In the Eastern Continent, with so many perilous lands, the Stone Race only ranked third; there were two stronger ones, and Great Yu wasn’t powerful enough.

At this moment, Li Mu’s expression changed, looking coldly at Liu Sheng and threatening,

"Liu Sheng, you’re playing with fire!"
