25

Pausing for a moment, Yanshi seemed to be completely immersed in his memories. His eyes revealed a gentle look. After a while, he continued, "Father soon found out about this. I was my father's only son, and the future successor to the Puyan people's clan leader. My father had originally wanted me to marry the daughter of a major clan leader. When he found out that Yun'er and I were in love, he vehemently opposed it. However, how could I be defeated so easily? My father had once asked me to choose between the position of clan leader and Yun'er. I chose Yun'er without hesitation. In the end, my father had no choice but to agree to our marriage. I can still remember the twists and turns of those years. It has only been two years since we got married. To me, these two years have been like a celestial life. I was so happy, so happy. Every time I left home to handle some matters, I would always think of the gentle Yun'er waiting for me at home. She would definitely prepare my favorite dishes and wait for my return. Whenever I thought of her, my heart would be filled with sweetness and anticipation. Yesterday, just as your sword was about to strike me, I only had one thought in my mind, and that was that I would never be able to see my beloved Yun 'er again. In the end, you would rather injure yourself than hurt me. I am truly grateful to you for that. Because, as long as I could return home alive, I would be able to see Yun'er again. But, but, she actually left just like that. My happiness is gone. It disappeared so suddenly. Brother, how can I accept this! "At this point, Yanshi burst into tears. His tears flowed unceasingly, wetting the front of his robes.

After listening to Yanshi and Yun'er's story, Dumb was deeply moved. Yanshi's unforgettable love for Yun'er continuously shook his heartstrings.

After a long time, Yanshi's emotions calmed down a little. He choked with sobs and said, "My Yun'er was so kind. She had never provoked anyone, so it was impossible for her to have any enemies. She was so kind to everyone. Even if a kitten or a dog was injured, she would heal them. But, but, she left just like that. She left with unwillingness and pain. Who was it, who was so heartless! He didn't even want to let go of such a kind girl like Yun 'er. I hate it, I really hate it. If I hadn't gone out to patrol today and stayed by her side, Yun 'er wouldn't have died. "

Dumb patted Yanshi's shoulder and asked, "Brother Yanshi, have any strangers come to your tribe recently?"

Yanshi shook his head and said with certainty, "No, absolutely not. We Puyan people rarely interact with outsiders, and we would never bring outsiders into our tribe. If you hadn't spared my life yesterday, and it was related to Tiangang School, I would never have brought you back to the tribe. Brother, I really don't want to live anymore. I want to die. I want to go to the underworld to follow Yun 'er. Perhaps, we can be together again there. The only thing I can't let go of now is Yun 'er's enmity. I will tear that demon into pieces. "A cold murderous aura filled the entire carriage, and for a moment, Dumb felt a chill run down his spine.

Yanshi's eyes gradually turned cold, and he said in a low voice, "Brother Dumb, thank you for waking me up. I must take revenge for Yun 'er. You're right, that demon is most likely a member of our tribe, and it's even more likely that he's in the group. Because Yun 'er has been with me for so long, she must have learned some martial arts. If I want Yun' er to not make a sound, that demon must have some extraordinary martial arts. I believe that he must have a motive for killing Yun 'er, and he will definitely appear again. After you get off the carriage, don't tell anyone that I've woken up. When I return to my father, I will definitely find the enemy. The people guarding the carriage are all brothers that I have absolute trust in. They won't leak our conversation. "

Dumb didn't understand, but he nodded and said, "Brother Yanshi, don't be too sad. The enemy will definitely be beheaded."

Yanshi closed his eyes and squeezed out the last two drops of tears. He said coldly, "From now on, I won't be sad anymore. There's only hatred in my heart. Brother Dumby, get out of the car and wipe away your tears. Don't let others see it. "

Dumb wiped his tears and said, "Brother Yanshi, take care." He turned around and was about to get off the carriage.

"Wait." Yanshi called out to Dumb.

Dumb blankly turned around and asked, "Brother Yanshi, is there anything else?"

Yanshi looked deeply at Dumb and said, "Brother, you're really a kind person. Thank you. From now on, you're my best brother. "

Dumb grabbed Yanshi's hand and said, "Brother, I don't have any brothers or sisters. I've been lonely since I was young. It's my fortune to have a brother like you!"

Returning to the carriage, Dumb sat beside Xuanyue under everyone's gaze.

Yue Hen asked, "How's Yanshi?"

Dumb shook his head and said, "Brother Yanshi's condition isn't good. He was completely tormented by his wife's death. He didn't say a word and just stared at his wife's coffin." Dumb thought to himself, 'This is the first time I've lied. Brother Yanshi, I hope you can find the enemy as soon as possible.'

Yue Ji sighed and said, "He's quite pitiful. His wife died at such a young age."

Xuanyue suddenly opened her eyes and looked at Dumb. She didn't say anything.

A day later, under the protection of 500 Puyan people's warriors, the group arrived at the largest tribe in the southwest of the Puyan people — the Rock tribe. The people here all had the surname Yan. Yanshi's father was the chief of this tribe and also the chief of the Puyan people.

The 500 warriors stopped on a small hill in front of the Rock tribe. Perhaps they had received the news long ago. When Dumby and the others got off the carriage, thousands of Pu Yan Tribe warriors in bright armor came out from the tribe to welcome them. They were all light cavalry, wearing leather armor and holding long spears in their hands. The tips of the spears were pointed at the ground. Under the sunlight, the spears shone with a dazzling light. A murderous aura spread throughout the entire army. The Rock tribe was much larger than the one Yanshi was in. As far as the eye could see, there were stone houses of different sizes and shapes everywhere. It was the size of a large city. There were also some grand and tall stone buildings. The tribe occupied a large area. Standing on the hill, it was hard to see everything.

The Rock tribe's thousand soldiers spread out and blocked in front of Dumb's group. Rock Giant ordered all the warriors to stop. He jumped off his horse and shouted, "I am Rock Giant. Which brother is leading this group?"

"It's Brother Rock Giant! I heard something happened? The chief sent me to greet you. " With a deep voice, a fast horse rushed out from the other side's light cavalry camp. This person's horsemanship was very good. The tall black horse was like a black lightning, quickly rushing over. Rock Giant wasn't surprised by the opponent's speed. Instead, he showed a faint smile.

The knight on the black horse seemed to have become one with the horse. He slightly leaned forward and slightly swayed along with the galloping of the horse. In the blink of an eye, he had arrived in front of the rock giant. When the black horse was about 5 m away from the rock giant, the knight on the black horse let out a roar and fiercely pulled the reins. The black horse let out a long neigh and rose up like a human. Under the control of the knight, the black horse landed on one side.

Rock Giant laughed and said, "Brother Yan Li, your horsemanship is getting better and better!"

The warrior called Rock Force by Rock Giant was not tall, but he was very strong. He looked like he was in his early twenties, and he had a valiant look on his face. The muscles on his bare arms were bulging, and his veins were bulging. One look and you could tell that he was a strength-type warrior. The black horse he was riding on was even more extraordinary. Its black fur looked like black satin under the sunlight. After galloping at a high speed just now, it suddenly stopped. It was only slightly panting, as if it was not affected at all. "Big Brother Rock Giant, what happened? Where's Brother Yanshi? I heard from the people you sent that Sister Yun Er, she … "

Rock Giant sadly said, "Little Yun is too pitiful. Let's not talk about it now. Yanshi and Little Yun's corpses are in the carriage behind us. Let's go into the tribe first. Everything will be decided by the chief."

Yan Li's eyes were full of anger. He heavily snorted and said, "Which bastard did this? If I find out, I will burn his bones and scatter his ashes. Let's go, Brother Rock Giant, quickly take me to see Yanshi. He and Sister Yun Er had such a deep relationship, it must be hard to bear. "

Rock Giant sighed and said, "Yanshi has suffered a deep blow. Little Yun's death also took his heart. Since we started the journey, he hasn't said a single word and refused to eat. His entire body has lost a lot of weight, as if he's in a daze. Let's go, I'll take you to see. "Finished speaking, he turned his horse around and brought Yan Li to the carriage. The carriage carrying Yanshi was at the back. Rock Giant and Yan Li had to pass by Dumb's side first. When Yan Li saw Dumb's group, he couldn't help but frown and said, "Brother Rock Giant, who are they? How come they're in your group? "

Rock Giant said, "These outsiders were brought back by Yanshi on the day of the incident. They seem to be Yanshi's guests. Once they returned to the tribe, Little Yun died. I was afraid that they would be suspicious, so I brought them along and asked the old chief to make a decision. "

The Cold Light in Yan Li's eyes intensified. He swung his stirrup and dismounted from his horse. With large strides, he walked in front of Dumb's group. As he got closer, Dumb saw that Yan Li had two short axes stuck in his back. The handles were very short, not even a foot long, but the axes were very large. The two crossed axes seemed to completely cover Yan Li's wide back.

Yan Li said without any trace of politeness, "Who are you people? Did you harm Sister Yun 'er? "

Moon Scar furrowed his brows. What he was worried about had happened. The Puyan people's habit of hating outsiders was bound to cause a misunderstanding! He quickly explained, "We are mercenaries. We were preparing to go to the Sky Yuan tribe to complete a mission. When we passed by your territory, we met the Yanshi Brothers. We fought before and became friends. The Yanshi Brothers invited us to the tribe as guests, but who knew that something like this would happen. We have no ill intentions towards the Puyan people. Moreover, we have always been with Yanshi, so how could we kill his wife?"

The Rock Giant also jumped down from his horse and said: "Don't be so thorough with your choices. When you arrived at the tribe, Little Cloud had already been dead for a few hours. Whether you did it or not, we'll ask the chief to decide. Although I believe you, as the deputy chief of the Yanshi tribe, I can't let any suspicious person go. I'm sorry that you have to come here. I believe that right and wrong will be judged by the public. The old patriarch will definitely get to the bottom of this. "

With a flash of Cold Light, the two axes on Yan Li's back appeared in his hands. With a loud roar, he chopped at Moon Scar. Two black lights instantly appeared in front of Moon Scar. This sudden change scared Moon Scar. He didn't have time to draw his sword, so he could only rely on his agility to dodge to the side. Yan Li didn't let him go. With a roar, the two axes chopped at Moon Scar like a storm. The seemingly heavy axes seemed to be weightless in Yan Li's hands. Black lights crisscrossed each other, giving off an imposing aura.

"Clank!" A loud sound rang out, causing everyone to temporarily lose their hearing. Dumb held the Heaven Dipper Sword with both hands and took three steps back before he could stand firm. This Yan Li's strength was truly terrifying. It seemed to be above Yanshi's. It turned out that Dumb saw that Moon Scar was in danger, so he could only use an Upward Slash to resolve the crisis.

Yan Li's axes were blocked by Dumb, and the two axes bounced back. His body swayed, and he couldn't help but take a step back.

Dumb took a deep breath and suppressed his surging blood. He angrily said, "How can you not distinguish right from wrong and attack Big Brother Moon Scar? We didn't provoke you!"

Yan Li angrily roared, "Bullshit! It must be you outsiders that harmed Sister Yun 'er. Besides you, who else would do such a thing? Today, I will kill you first to avenge Sister Yun 'er. "Finished speaking, he waved his axes and was about to rush forward again.

Rock Giant grabbed Yan Li from behind and angrily shouted, "Yan Li, what are you doing? Before things are cleared up, you are not allowed to touch them. "

Rock Li struggled with all his might, and the Rock Giant actually couldn't hold on to him. "Big Brother Rock Giant, let me go. Other than them, who else would hurt Big Sister Yun'er? Big Sister Yun'er is so kind, you bunch of bastards, why did you kill her? I will kill you to avenge her! " Yan Li's words caused the surrounding Puyan people to glare at Dumb and the others. Obviously, they had the same opinion. The warriors had already jumped down from their horses. They pulled out the long blades on their backs and surrounded the group. Looking at their aggressive expressions, it seemed like they wanted to dismember the group. Wan Li, Miao Fei, and Yue Ji couldn't help but pull out their weapons.

Xu Anyue moved to Dumb's side and coldly looked at Yan Li, saying, "Are you Puyan people all a bunch of simple-minded people? You think you can take revenge by killing us? What proof do you have that we are the killers? Are you Puyan people all so stupid? " As she spoke, a thick white light surged from Xu Anyue's body. A holy aura enveloped the six of them.

The holy aura from Xu Anyue's body brought a sense of peace to the group. The fear they felt immediately lessened.

Yan Li was stunned. He was no longer as angry as before. He frowned and said, "So there's a magician."

Dumb was afraid that Yan Li would attack again. He stood beside Xu Anyue and stared at Yan Li. He was ready to attack at any time. Under the continuous circulation of True Qi, he had already suppressed the surging Qi and blood. The Tian Gang Sword was flashing with a faint Dou Qi.

Xu Anyue lightly shook the magic staff in her hand and glared at Yan Li. Waves of white light constantly surged from the magic staff in her hand. She was ready to attack at any time. Her other hand touched the Phoenix Blood on her chest. She was ready to use her strongest attack if necessary. She had been spoiled since she was young. Facing this kind of situation, she was naturally furious.

Yue Hen had already recovered from the fright. He did not pull out the long sword on his back. He said to Yan Li, "Now that the Yanshi Brothers' wife has just died, don't you guys want to go see him? We can't run away. If you find out that we did it, you can skin us and break our bones at any time. This is the place where you Puyan people have the most power. Are you afraid that we will run away? If you want to kill us without any reason, then we will definitely not wait for death. "

Yan Ju grabbed onto Yan Li's sturdy arm and said angrily, "Yan Li, you don't even listen to your big brother's words anymore? Go, let's go see the Yanshi Brothers first, then return to the tribe and wait for the patriarch to decide. "

Yan Li hatefully snorted. He raised his left arm and pointed his battle axe at Yue Hen, saying, "Just you wait. If you really killed Sister Yun Er, then I will chop you to death." Finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards the carriage at the back. Without a leader, the other Puyan people retreated under Yan Ju's scolding.

Yan Ju sighed and shook his head, saying, "Everyone, please don't take it to heart. My brother Yan Li's temper has been very fiery since he was young. I apologize on his behalf."

Miao Fei curled his lips and said, "What's the use of apologizing? Quickly find out the truth and let us go. We still have important things to do. We can't afford to be delayed here. "

Yan Ju nodded slightly and didn't say anything else. He chased after Yan Li.

When Yan Li came down from Yanshi's carriage, his face was ashen. His entire body emitted waves of murderous intent. He glared at Dumb and the others, then mounted his black horse and commanded the five hundred people from Yanshi's tribe to escort everyone back to the tribe. Yan Ju was afraid that Yan Li would cause trouble again, so he followed beside Yue Hen with an abnormally serious expression.

After entering the tribe, Yan Ju arranged for everyone to stay in a stone house. He locked the door from the outside and assigned a few dozen warriors to guard it. Then, he and Yan Li hurried to see the patriarch.

Miao Fei sat on a stool and snorted heavily. "What the hell is going on here?! Why are we so unlucky to encounter something like this? Brother Yue Hen, if they insist that we killed Yanshi's wife, are we just going to wait for death? "

Yue Hen glared at him and said, "Miao Fei, calm down. Now that things have developed to this point, we can only wait. This is the largest tribe of the Puyan people. No matter what, there are at least several hundred thousand people. Do you think you can kill your way out? We are under the same roof, and we have no chance of resisting. Moreover, since we didn't do it, what is there to be afraid of? Let's wait. I don't believe that Yanshi's father, as the patriarch of the Puyan people, can't see the truth. "

Yue Ji said, "So what if he can see the truth? The culprit is very cunning. He didn't leave behind any clues. How can they investigate? Are we going to be imprisoned here forever if they can't find the truth? This culprit must have planned this for a long time. I'm afraid it will be very difficult to find out! That shorty called Yan Li is the most despicable. He attacked Big Brother without saying anything. I really want to shoot an arrow through his head. "

Yue Hen said, "He is just a brute. Why are you so calculative with him?"

Xuanyue sat on the bed and fiddled with her magic staff. She said, "Anyway, I have plenty of time. They take care of our food and accommodation here. Why don't we just wait?" After saying that, she glanced at Dumb and said to him, "Come here and sit beside me."

Since Xuanyue disregarded the danger of exhausting her magic power and used the Light of Tranquility to save Yanshi yesterday, Dumb's attitude towards her changed a lot. Hearing her call, he sat down and whispered, "Yue, are you really not worried at all? If it really doesn't work, let's use the scroll to call your father over. Maybe he can save us? "

Xuanyue shook her head. She moved closer to Dumb's ear and whispered, "If Dad comes, what can I do? By the way, what did Yanshi say to you today? "

Dumb whispered honestly, "Brother Yanshi said, ah, he's still in a daze. He didn't say anything!" As the stone bed was on the other side of the room, and the two deliberately lowered their voices, Yue Hen and the others did not hear it. They were still discussing how to escape.

Xuanyue curled her lips and said, "You still want to lie to me. If he didn't say anything to you, why is your sleeve wet? That's because you're wiping your tears, right?"

Dumb obviously didn't expect Xuanyue to observe so carefully. His face revealed a trace of embarrassment. He leaned close to Xuanyue's ear and said, "Brother Yanshi did let me wake him up, but he said that in order to find the murderer, he didn't want me to tell anyone about him waking up. You must not tell anyone!"

Dumb's warm breath blew into Xuanyue's ear. Xuanyue couldn't help but dodge. She giggled and said, "Why are you so close to me? Annoying."

Yue Ji looked at Dumb and Xuanyue and said, "Look at the time, and you're still in the mood to play. I say, Miss Xuanyue, you're an Advanced Magician. Don't you know some teleportation magic to bring us all out?" Her words immediately made Wan Li and Miao Fei's eyes light up. To them, this place was really too dangerous. Their lives could be in danger at any time.

Xuanyue snorted and turned her back to Dumb. She leaned on his shoulder and said, "Don't talk nonsense if you don't know anything. Is teleportation magic that easy to use? That's the specialty of Space Magicians. It's very difficult. Even for Space Magicians, if they aren't at the level of Great Magician, it's very difficult to teleport people out. I learned light magic. Moreover, if we leave, wouldn't we be the scapegoat for the murderer? Do you want to be chased by Puyan people every day on the continent? If you want to run, run. I won't leave until I get to the bottom of things. "

Yue Hen coughed and said, "Miss Xuanyue is right. We definitely can't leave now. We must continue to wait. I reckon it won't be long before their clan leader summons us. Let's see him first. Now that things have come to this, we can only wait. "

At this time, the door to the stone house opened. Rock Giant and Yan Li walked in together. Rock Giant was expressionless while Yan Li had an indignant expression. He loudly said, "Come, follow us to see the clan leader."

Yue Ji angrily snorted, "Three Inch Nail, be a bit more polite. We aren't your prisoners."

Yan Li angrily roared, "Who are you calling Three Inch Nail?" A black light flashed and the two battle axes appeared in his hands. Rock Giant quickly pulled him back and said to Yue Ji, "I'm sorry everyone. My brother has a bad temper. The clan leader has invited you to ask about yesterday's situation. "

Yue Hen nodded and gave Dumb and Xuanyue a look, saying, "Okay, then let's go." Finished speaking, he stood up and was about to leave.

Rock Giant reached out to stop Yue Hen, saying, "Please leave your weapons in this house before leaving."

Miao Fei angrily said, "What? You want us to leave our weapons? No, what if you use force? "

Yan Li sneered, "With just the few of you, if you really use force, what can you do even if you have weapons? You will still die with a grievance."

Miao Fei hated it the most when people looked down on him. Hearing this, he angrily said, "What did you say? Are you very strong? Do you want to compete with me? "He was proficient in techniques and did not put the powerful Yan Li in his eyes.

Yue Hen pulled Miao Fei back and glanced at Yan Li who was in a fighting stance. He put his sword to the side and said, "Everyone leave your weapons behind."

Yue Ji and Wan Li did not say anything. Clearly, they trusted Yue Hen very much. They directly took off their weapons and put them on the table. Under Yue Hen's glare, Miao Fei also took off the flexible sword at his waist and unwillingly threw it to the side.

At this time, a red light suddenly flashed in the room. Everyone looked in the direction of the red light in surprise. They saw Xuanyue spread out her hands and said, "I don't have any weapons." It turned out that when Yue Hen and the others put down their weapons, she used the Phoenix Blood to put away her magic staff and Dumb's Tian Gang Sword. But what she did not know was that Dumb's chest still had the world's most evil weapon — — Hell King's Sword.

Yan Li snorted and said, "You know best whether you have a weapon or not. When you go to the chief's place, as long as you have a weapon, you definitely won't be able to enter. Don't blame us for courting death." Finished speaking, he turned around and walked out.

Everyone followed Yan Ju and Yan Li. Under the escort of a group of Puyan people's warriors, they walked towards the center of the Rock Tribe. After half an hour, Yan Ju brought them to a stop in front of a tall building. This building was located in the center of the Rock Tribe. It was completely built with Yanshi stone. It looked triangular on the outside and was more than thirty meters tall. It covered an area of several thousand square meters. It could be said to be the largest building in the entire Rock Tribe. There were twenty warriors standing guard outside the three meter tall stone door. Different from the light armored cavalry from before, they all wore extremely heavy black armor. The armor completely wrapped around them. Even their heads were covered by helmets, making it impossible for people to see their faces. Every heavy armored soldier held a huge battle axe in their hands. They stood there majestically. One look and one could tell that their skills were not ordinary from their dignified bearing. If it wasn't for the color of their skin showing through the gaps in the armor, these unmoving warriors would look like statues.

Yan Ju and Yan Li stopped in front of the twenty heavy armored warriors. The arrogant Yan Li actually respectfully saluted the heavy armored warriors. He pointed at Dumb and the others behind him and said, "Holy Tiru warriors, greetings. It is the chief who asked us to bring these foreigners to see him. Please let them pass."

The twenty heavy armored warriors simultaneously moved aside to make way. Not a single one of them said anything. Their uniform movements showed that they were well-trained.

Yan Ju walked to Yan Li's side and also saluted the twenty warriors. Then, he turned to the people who were preparing to follow him inside and nodded. He reminded everyone, "This is the most sacred Tiru Temple of our Puyan people. Only important matters will be decided here. After entering, do not speak carelessly. Follow me and Yan Li's footsteps."

Yan Ju's kindness won everyone's respect. Yue Hen quickly nodded and said, "We will."

Yan Ju solemnly looked at Dumb and Xuanyue and said, "If you have any weapons, you better take them out quickly. Otherwise, once you are discovered by the mechanism in front of the temple, the Tiru warriors will definitely attack. At that time, no one will be able to save you."

Xuanyue didn't believe that there was any power that could detect the items in the phoenix blood. She waved her hand and said, "I don't have anything, why are you looking at me?"

Dumb's heart was beating like a drum. No matter what, he couldn't take out the Hell King's Sword. However, seeing how serious Yan Ju was, it seemed that these Tiru warriors were very powerful. After hesitating for a bit, Dumb chose to remain silent. He didn't want the evil power of the Hell King's Sword to harm the people here.

Yan Ju sighed and said, "If that's the case, then let's go." Saying so, he led everyone towards the temple.

Before entering the temple, Yan Li threw the two axes on his back to the side and walked in with his head held high. Yan Ju followed behind him, followed by Yue Hen, Miao Fei, Wan Li, Yue Ji, and Xuanyue. Just as Xuanyue expected, under the effect of the divine phoenix blood, the weapons were not discovered.
