"Also, all the old monsters in that dilapidated village are dead. Which child is still alive?"

The manager said with a gloomy expression.

"Sir, we've already investigated and found that the child is most likely a stand-in, and could not possibly be the Shi Hao from back then," someone boldly replied.

"Fool!" the steward roared in anger, slamming his hand down. The wooden table shattered instantly, and a shockwave rippled down, cracking the Vajra Rock ground and causing it to sink more than a foot deep, demonstrating the terrifying power of his cultivation.

"Even if it's fake, we have to find a way to kill him. What kind of family is the Rain Clan? Ancient and glorious, with a long history, even older than the Stone Kingdom. They value face above all else. Letting that brat live is an insult to their dignity!"

The manager roared.

Hidden in the void, Shi Hai looked at the steward below with a gloomy expression and whispered:
"The Rain Clan's reputation? Does the Rain Clan's reputation really require my Stone Clan to pay such a price?!"

Shi Yuntao sneered:

"The truly ancient and glorious ones are not the so-called Rain Clan. The Stone Clan was once the most glorious in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths. Now that they have declined, can they be humiliated like this?"

You must know that the Stone Kingdom is descended from the blood of the Seven Kings of the Borderlands, a true descendant of the Immortal Kings. In terms of antiquity, the Rain Clan is nothing.

As for the Rain God, he hasn't even become an immortal yet; he's just a celestial being trapped in an ancient temple.

The group below showed fear and couldn't help but back away. The gloomy man above roared, making their eardrums ache.

"Don't worry, sir. With those old monsters dead, we'll soon hear who will protect him," the group quickly declared.

"I'm warning you, don't leave a single flaw, or I'll tear your tendons out and skin you alive. If anything goes wrong, no one will survive!"

“We’ll make proper arrangements. We might let him be accidentally bitten to death by a poisonous insect, or let a ferocious beast rush out of the mountains, startling him so he’ll slowly ‘die of illness.’ We could even hire some thugs who won’t harm him, but…”

"That's enough, all of you go. I only care about the results." The manager waved his hand, dismissing the people.

The dilapidated village felt even more desolate. The wind blew, and the old doors and windows creaked and groaned, sounding like ghostly wails in the night.

Several elderly people have passed away, and no new "criminals" have been sent here in recent decades, making the place seem gloomy and lacking in human presence.

At night, even the servants were unwilling to go out or move around the estate.

“Your name…” The little one scratched his head; they had the same name.

“They’ve called me Shi Hao since I was little,” the child whispered, head bowed, his expression somber. Several of the elders had died, and he felt very lonely.

"How about you keep this name and I'll change it?" the little boy said. This child had suffered a lot for him, and he didn't want to take away the name he had always used.

"No need, I'll just change it. This name always brings back so many memories, and I want to end it all," the child next to me said.

After thinking for a long time, he gave himself the name Shi Qingfeng, hoping that he could be as free as the wind and leave this cage.

The two children had bright, big eyes. They looked at each other and laughed.

"I want to see Dahei," Xiao Qingfeng said, her eyes filled with reluctance and longing, hoping to see her best friend before leaving.

Over the years, he has been truly lonely. He has no peers to play with, no friends, and only that black tiger can bring him joy. He is very pitiful.

"it is good!"

As dawn broke, before they could even set off, a voice came from outside the gate. A loud voice said, "Child, where are you? Your uncle has come to get you. Get out of this awful place, or you'll be bullied by those servants."

A middle-aged man entered the village; he was tall, with a full beard, and very rugged. The little boy got up and slipped away, not wanting to be seen.

"Oh, it's Uncle Hai!" Xiao Qingfeng exclaimed joyfully.

Uncle Hai is Grandpa Hai's son, and the family has always treated him very well. After several of the elders passed away, Grandpa Hai discussed it with his son and decided to take the child in and adopt him, feeling that he was too pitiful.

“It’s not a good idea to leave here,” a servant stepped forward to stop them.

"What a load of rubbish! If the child stays here, he definitely won't live more than three months. Don't you know how he got a limp? As soon as the old man was critically ill, a rare venomous dragon came and bit his foot..." Uncle Hai said indignantly, his bushy beard trembling like steel needles.

"Uncle Hai, I'll go see Big Black with you." Xiao Qingfeng ran over.

This is a small village that is responsible for delivering game, fruits, and vegetables to the second ancestral home of the Shi tribe. It has only about a hundred households.

A loud roar echoed, and a giant black tiger appeared at the village entrance. It was three zhang tall and six or seven zhang long, an enormous creature, and it charged forward at high speed. Behind it were four adorable tiger cubs, running alongside it.

"Big Black..." Xiao Qingfeng rushed over quickly, filled with joy.

In the distant mountains and forests, the little one was taken aback. This tiger was no ordinary creature; it was full of vigor and had mysterious runes growing inside its body. It was a ferocious beast.

In the distance, a young man with a cold expression saw this scene and said, "Damn it, the Hai family father and son actually adopted him. Both of them are powerful. They live in seclusion here, and all the villagers nearby trust them."

That night, wild beasts roared in the mountains, and several enormous black creatures, seemingly driven mad, charged into the village, intending to massacre its inhabitants.

"Ow..."

"Oh no! A ferocious beast is coming! It's going to kill people! Run!" the villagers cried in terror.

"Puff", "Puff"

……

In the darkness, the trembling of bowstrings rang out, and several glowing arrows bearing runes flew out, striking the enormous black shadows. The roars of the beasts immediately ceased, and several giant beasts fell to the ground dead.

Soon after, the villagers calmed down.

"Uncle Hai, you're truly still going strong! You managed to easily shoot down such a ferocious beast as Biao." The villagers expressed their sincere gratitude.

The little boy nodded from the distant mountains and forests. The Hai family father and son were indeed reclusive experts, with extraordinary skills and remarkable abilities.

"This old man can shoot talisman arrows; his skill is profound. Could he really be an unparalleled master?" In the distance, a group of people frowned, their eyes revealing murderous intent.

In the following days, poisonous insects and birds of prey appeared from time to time, troubling the village. Although the Hai family father and son killed them all, the villagers were still trembling with fear.

"It's outrageous! They're forcing us to hand over the child. If we send him back, I'm sure he won't live more than two months," Uncle Hai said angrily.

"Enough of this place. We've been here long enough. It's time to move on. Let's take this child with us. But before we leave, I'm going to have a bloodbath," Old Master Hai said coldly.

At night, when another ferocious beast attacked, two figures emerged, swift as ghosts, rising into the air and disappearing into the distance.

"what……"

"what……"

Screams rang out one after another, not only from the beasts but also from the dead. The experts sent by the steward were all extraordinary and powerful, possessing bone script skills; otherwise, how could they be so ordinary as to be responsible for tracking down clues and information about Shi Ziling and his wife? However, it was still not enough; all twenty-odd people were killed, and not one of them escaped.

"So strong!" Little One exclaimed in surprise from the forest. Having lived in the mountains for many years, fighting against ferocious birds and beasts, he naturally knew how to conceal his presence and avoid being discovered.

Upon receiving the news, the steward of Chongyun Town had a sinister look in his eyes. More than twenty experts had died in one night, which was something that no ordinary person could do.

"Do I really have to go there myself?!" He stood up abruptly, releasing a powerful aura that caused the walls of the entire room to crack.

As dawn broke, in the magnificent mansion, Yu Meng rose and strolled through the garden, casually asking, "I heard you lost some men?"

The steward immediately bowed, not daring to look directly at him, and said, "Yes, there are actually some experts living in seclusion there. They are very powerful. I am prepared to personally take action and kill them."

Yu Meng said coldly, "A master, I like it. I recently raised a ferocious beast that needs the blood of a strong person. Take the people with me with you and go capture that father and son for me. I suspect they may have some background."

The steward was startled, then overjoyed. With an important figure from the Rain Clan making a move, who could possibly survive? Even if that father and son were reclusive masters, they would surely meet a gruesome end.

He knew that Yu Meng had been having a lot of bad luck lately and was holding a grudge that was about to erupt, which might stir up a terrible storm in the Western Frontier!

In the village, Xiao Qingfeng was very grateful and said, "Grandpa Hai, I can't go with you. I have to leave with the older brother. He said he can cure my foot. You should leave quickly, otherwise those bad people won't give up."

Finally, when they met in the dense forest, Xiao Shihao appeared.

"Thank you, Uncle Hai. You should leave now, leave this village. A major earthquake is about to strike Western Xinjiang," the little boy said.

"You're quite an interesting child, telling us this news as soon as we meet," the old man said with a smile.

“Kid, are you exaggerating?” Uncle Hai said.

"It's true." The little one blinked her big eyes and said seriously, but no matter how you looked at her, she looked like a beautiful and cute porcelain doll, which was not very convincing.

"What's going to happen?" the old man asked.

"All the bad guys in the Western Frontier must be severely punished!" The little boy clenched his fist.

"What are you going to do, little one?" the old man asked.

The little boy dragged the bodies of the old man and the other killed experts out of the dense forest and said, "Please wait a moment."

Finally, he carried the corpse and rushed towards that dilapidated village.

"What does he want to do?" The father and son, along with Xiao Qingfeng, chased after him, puzzled.

Soon after, they felt a chill run through their bodies and were filled with dread.

In the distance, flames roared into the sky, and a group of servants ran out; the manor had been engulfed in flames.

Uncle Hai felt a chill run down his spine and said, "This is the ancestral land of the Stone Clan. It's fine if it's desolate and unmanaged on ordinary days, but if anyone dares to burn it all down, it will bring about a catastrophic disaster!"

"Hurry up, soon a king or nobleman will come in person!" Old Man Hai was also in a bind. He never expected that the little guy would dare to do such a thing. He was really audacious.

"Ah, young man, you actually did that." Xiao Qingfeng was also shocked.

The little one returned, very calmly, and said, "I only have one ancestral land, not here. I have no further connection with the Stone Kingdom clan."

As a child, he had his Supreme Bone stolen, and the people there were indifferent and persecuted his family. Here, his substitute suffered the same fate, ignored by everyone. This happened again and again, and he felt no sense of belonging to the Stone Clan in the capital.

Although he was kind, he was not timid and dared to act.

"Let's go!" Old Man Hai's scalp tingled with fear, and he dared not linger.

Soon, the group disappeared.

Shi Yuntao chuckled and said:
"Little Shi Hao has a lot of guts!"

Shi Hai shook his head with a wry smile, and finally sighed:

"It's good that it's burned. It won't cause a big commotion, and the capital won't do anything. Moreover, we can take this opportunity to destroy the formation below and make the Stone Emperor investigate thoroughly!"

"What?! The ancestral land of the Stone Clan was burned to the ground?!" The steward turned pale upon hearing the news.

"Roar……"

Upon learning this, Yu Meng let out a thunderous roar. He knew it was all over; a terrible disaster was about to befall him. He was in the Western Frontier and had even made an appearance there. Once investigated, he would definitely not be able to escape.

"Idiot!" Yu Meng roared, slapping the highly skilled steward away, sending his teeth flying and stained with blood.

"Sir, I didn't order anyone to do it!" The steward trembled with fear and knelt down with a thud.

"No matter who did it, it will bring about a huge disaster. The Shi Kingdom will send at least a few kings and nobles to investigate all the way to the bottom. Your past little tricks will naturally not be hidden, and we will also be implicated..." Yu Meng was furious, the veins on his forehead bulging, and he felt a great fear in his heart.

“Real kings and nobles would come in person…” The steward was dumbfounded, trembling, kneeling there, almost scared to death.

"Now you know fear, you're really bullying the weak and fearing the strong!"

Shi Hai looked at the Rain Clan members and said angrily.

Shi Yuntao shook his head and said:
"If it weren't for the tacit approval and secret encouragement from the Martial King's Mansion, the Rain Clan wouldn't dare to be so arrogant! Shi Yi's lineage is rotten to the core!"

Upon hearing this, Shi Hai fell silent, unsure of what to say.

Looking at Shi Hai's expression, Shi Yuntao knew perfectly well that he was worried about what would happen after Shi Yi, the person with double pupils, rose to power. He sneered:

"Double pupils are an invincible path, why need to borrow someone else's bones!"

When that brat coveted the Supreme Bone, he had already fallen into the lower ranks!

Moreover, my Stone Clan has a strong bloodline; it's not impossible for one or two more children in the clan to have double pupils. Shi Yi isn't that precious!

Thinking of Shi Yi's behavior in the early part of the original novel, Mo Xuan still disliked it very much, and thought to himself:
"So what if you have double pupils? I'll make double pupils a common talent in the village. I'll see what you, Shi Yi, have to be so proud of!"

Below, the true king and nobles will appear. Upon hearing this, the steward immediately collapsed to the ground, his face pale and bloodless, his body trembling and even his teeth chattering.

He was terrified. If the investigation were to proceed in detail, all those involved would be killed. It was already foreseeable that soon there would be a sea of ​​heads falling.

When a king or nobleman is enraged, blood flows like rivers and corpses lie for miles; no one can stop him! He has no way to survive; the whole world has no place for him to hide!

Not to mention him, even Yu Meng was terrified, pacing back and forth, his heart filled with extreme fear. If things escalated, it would be beyond his ability to cover up. That was the ancestral land of the Stone Clan, and it could not be desecrated.

"It wasn't me, what should we do..." The steward slumped there, his eyes lifeless, repeating the same thing over and over, his usual imposing manner completely gone.

"roll!"

Enraged, Yu Meng kicked him, causing a bone fracture to pierce the ground. The steward screamed, coughing up blood, and was sent flying, crashing into a nearby artificial hill. (End of Chapter)
