"That Wang Tuoguai is sinister and vicious. I've disliked him for a long time, and I can't increase my strength by following him. I'm not like you, master. You're brilliant and have a bright future ahead of you. Your aura is also very suitable for my growth."
Magnolia Purpurea said all the good things. Lu Xiaotian rolled his eyes. If it were not for the fact that Magnolia Purpurea had always been by his side, he would have thought that Magnolia Purpurea had learned bad things from Little Fire Crow.
"Alright, come back. I hope your newly awakened ability can help me in the future. Otherwise, you'll only be a scabbard for the rest of your life." Lu Xiaotian waved his hand and interrupted Magnolia Purpurea's chatter. As for Magnolia Purpurea's new ability, Lu Xiaotian was still immersed in the joy of breaking through to the late stage of Jin Dan, so he did not pay too much attention to it.
In the following days, Lu Xiaotian continued to stay in the Meteorite Cave, consolidating his cultivation. Several days later, Lu Xiaotian's medallion vibrated. Not long after, he saw Tuoba Hong quickly walk over with two clansmen.
"Brother Lu, you really have endurance. You've actually stayed in the Meteorite Cave for a few years. I really have to hand it to you." Tuoba Hong's chest and abdomen were both injured, but he seemed to be extremely happy.
"There's nothing to do anyway. Your injuries don't seem light, so you'll probably need to rest for a while. Is the battle with the skeleton army very tense?" Lu Xiaotian asked.
"It's not just tense. It's like fire and water. I don't know what's going on with those skeletons. The more I kill, the more there are. There's no end to them. " Tuoba Hong scratched his head and said, "I didn't lose out either. I killed two skeletons of the ninth step. My injuries will be healed very quickly. If it weren't for the fact that I was quite injured this time, I probably wouldn't have retreated from the battle. "
Lu Xiaotian nodded. The cultivation method of the Stone Golem Tribe was quite different. Their close combat abilities were extremely powerful, and their recovery abilities were quite good. With Tuoba Hong's cultivation, it would not take long for him to recover from his severe injuries.
"It seems your Great Elder has finally remembered someone like me. Otherwise, I really don't know how long I'll have to stay here," Lu Xiaotian said with a smile.
"Brother Lu, Brother Lu, you've wrongly accused our Great Elder. Ever since the Great Elder left the city, he only returned a month ago." Tuoba Hong explained, then lowered his voice and said, "I also heard that the Great Elder seemed to have suffered some injuries this time."
Lu Xiaotian was shocked. According to what Tuoba Hong had said, the head elder of the Tuoba family had left the city for many years and returned with injuries. Thinking back to the skeleton army at this moment, things would not be so simple.
The two of them chatted for a while before Tuoba Hong directly left with Lu Xiaotian. Along the way, Tuoba Hong told Lu Xiaotian some things about the battles in the past few years. It was mostly about how there were so many skeletons and how they could never be wiped out.
Very soon, Lu Xiaotian left the cavern with Tuoba Hong and arrived at the small city above ground. Looking around, the surroundings of the city were already covered in darkness. The atmosphere was extremely oppressive. Within the gloomy clouds, there seemed to be ghostly wails and howls, as well as the laughter of daemons. If ordinary people heard this, they might have lost their minds from fright. However, the Stone Golem Tribe were all valiant warriors. Under such extraordinary pressure, their battle intent was abnormally high. A large number of abandoned bones had already accumulated below the city. According to Tuoba Hong, the skeleton army had attacked the city several times, but they had been repelled by the warriors of the Stone Golem Tribe. The Stone Golem Tribe had also left the city several times to fight. Right now, the forces of the two sides were intertwined and complicated. The skeleton army was not only mortal enemies with the Stone Golem Tribe, but wherever they went, they would also become the enemy of the local daemons.
The skeleton army constantly sent out large numbers of troops to encroach on the territories of the local daemons and the Stone Golem Tribe. Wherever they went, they would turn into a ghastly ghost town. All the daemons and the Stone Golem Tribe were doing their best to resist the skeleton army. This was especially true for the Stone Golem Tribe. They constantly sent out troops to intercept the skeleton army.
Along the way, they would occasionally encounter male and female warriors of the Stone Golem Tribe. Although they were curious about this silver-haired outsider, they did not pay much attention to him. Time was the best medicine. After a few years, the commotion that Lu Xiaotian caused when he first arrived had already faded.
Not long after, Lu Xiaotian arrived at Tuoba Chongxiao's large tent. It was a simple tent that took up several acres of land. Even some of the Stone Golem Tribe's Nascent Soul cultivators above the tenth level had to be stationed on the ground. It was clear how dangerous the battle was.
"The Great Elder is waiting for you inside." Tuoba Hong stood outside the tent with a respectful expression.
"Come in." Lu Xiaotian had just stood at the entrance when a light breeze blew, and the tent's curtains were automatically lifted.
"May I know why Elder has summoned me here?"
Lu Xiaotian bowed to Tuoba Chongxiao. The old man in front of him looked more defeated than the last time he saw him. It seemed that Tuoba Hong was telling the truth. Tuoba Chongxiao might have really been injured.
"With your calmness and wisdom, I'm sure you can guess." Tuoba Chongxiao looked at Lu Xiaotian with a faint smile. "The people who came with you can't stay here all day. Only you can calm your heart and focus on cultivation. If I didn't call you here this time, I don't know how long you would have stayed in the Cave of Fallen Stars. The Stone Golem Tribe's sacred place for cultivation, isn't it not bad? "
"It's really good for tempering one's body." It seemed that Tuoba Chongxiao had already understood his actions in the past few years. Lu Xiaotian had no reason to deny it.
"I believe that you have seen the current situation of our clan. The skeleton army that is wreaking havoc outside the city is actually just the first wave of the ghost race's vanguard. When the real Ninth Netherworld Ghost Race arrives, the Thousand Year Calamity recorded in the Immortal Annals will officially begin. The Dragon Lion is a sacred relic of my Stone Golem Tribe. It is also our tribe's hope of surviving the thousand-year calamity. So, no matter what, the Dragon Lion must remain in my tribe. However, since you were able to subdue the Dragon Lion, you must have paid a certain price. My tribe can compensate you. "
Tuoba Chongxiao spoke in a tone that left no room for discussion for Lu Xiaotian.
Lu Xiaotian's face darkened. Even if Tuoba Chongxiao was at level ten, or even higher, Lu Xiaotian would still be furious if he was so brazenly asking for something that belonged to him. But he was too weak to resist.
"I traded my life for Di Kun. It's been fighting with me all this time. You want to take it away like this? Don't you think that's too much?"
Lu Xiaotian said coldly. Since Tuoba Chongxiao had spoken to him like this, he must have something to discuss with him. Otherwise, if he could just take it away, Tuoba Chongxiao wouldn't be so nice to him. He would have taken it away when they first met.
