Chapter 695: The Great Elder's Invitation

Tian's abilities far exceed my expectations. 。Leiwantian stared at Lu Qian with a profound gaze. 。"This, actually, Senior Brother Lu instructed me to keep it a secret from everyone, including Su Qing...“That king camel monster is cunning and vicious. I disliked him long ago. Besides, following him, my strength couldn't improve at all, unlike with you, Master. You are brilliant and powerful, with a bright future ahead. Your aura also suits my growth perfectly.”

Purple Leaf True Immortal's kind words had been spoken to their fullest. Lu Xia Tian listened, rolling his eyes. If it weren't for Purple Leaf True Immortal always being by his side, he would think Purple Leaf True Immortal had learned bad behavior from the little fire crow.

"Alright, come back. I hope your newfound abilities will be of help to me in the future, otherwise you'll just remain a scabbard for your entire life." Lu Xia Tian reached out and interrupted Zi Ye Zhen Wu's incessant chatter. Regarding Zi Ye Zhen Wu's mention of new abilities, Lu Xia Tian was still immersed in the joy of his recent breakthrough to the late stage of the Golden Core realm and hadn't given it much thought.

In the following days, Lu Xia Tian continued to stay in the meteorite cave, consolidating the realm he had just broken through. Until after several days, a tremor ran through the token on Lu Xia Tian's body. Not long after, he saw Tuo Ba Hong leading two clan members quickly approaching.

"Lu Ge, you are truly patient. To stay in the Meteorite Cave for several years is something I admire. I am impressed." Tuo Ba Hong had wounds on his chest and abdomen, but his face was filled with joy.

"Since you have nothing to do anyway, your wound looks serious and you'll need to rest for a while. How is the war with the Skeleton Army going" Lu XiaTian asked.

"It's more than just nervous, it's like water and fire. Those skeletons don't know what they're doing, the more you kill, the more there are, like there's no end to them." Tuo Ba Hong scratched his head and said, "I didn't suffer any losses either, killing two ninth-order skeletons. The wounds on my body healed quickly after a while. If it wasn't for the serious injuries this time, I probably wouldn't have withdrawn from the front lines."

Lu Xia Tian nodded. The cultivation methods of this giant stone clan were quite unique, with strong close-combat abilities and good recovery capabilities. With Tuo Ba Hong's cultivation level, although his injuries looked serious, it shouldn't take long for him to recover.

"It seems that you venerable elders have finally remembered that there's still someone like me around. Otherwise, I wouldn't know how long to stay." Lu Xiaoxiao laughed.

"Lu brother, you're being unfair to our Great Elder. The Great Elder returned only a month ago after leaving the city last time." Tuo Ba Hong explained, then lowered his voice and said, "I heard that the Great Elder was also injured this time."

Lu Xia Tian was startled. If according to Tuo Ba Hong's words, the head elder of the Tuo Ba family had left the city for several years, returned injured, and considering the current army of skeletons, things wouldn't be as simple as they seemed.

After a few brief exchanges of pleasantries, Tuoba Hong took Lu Xiaoteng and left. Along the way, Tuoba Hong told Lu Xiaoteng about recent military affairs, nothing more than how numerous the Skull Army was and how they seemed inexhaustible.

Soon, Lu Xia Tian followed Tuo Ba Hong out of the cave and arrived at a small town on the ground. Looking around, the town was surrounded by a dark and oppressive atmosphere. In that cloud, there seemed to be wails of ghosts and howls of wolves, as well as the eerie laughter of demons. If ordinary people heard them, they would probably be driven mad. However, the Giant Stone Clan were all brave and skilled warriors. Under such extraordinary pressure, their fighting spirit was unusually high. Beneath the town, there were already many piles of discarded white bones. According to Tuo Ba Hong's account, the army of skeletons had attacked the city several times, but they were all repelled by the Giant Stone Clan warriors. The Giant Stone Clan also launched several attacks outside the city. At this time, within tens of thousands of miles, the forces of both sides were complex and intertwined.These skeleton armies not only had a deadly feud with the Giant Stone Clan, but wherever they passed, they also became enemies of the local monsters.

The Skull Army continuously sent out large squads to nibble away at the territories of local monsters and the Giant Stone Clan. Wherever they passed, they turned it into a desolate and eerie wasteland, while all the monsters and the Giant Stone Clan fought with all their might against the Skull Army. Especially the Giant Stone Clan, constantly dispatched squads to intercept the Skull Army's advance.

Along the way, he occasionally encountered male and female warriors of the Stone Giant clan. Although they found his silver hair unusual as a foreigner, they didn't pay much attention. Time is the best medicine, and after several years, the commotion caused by Lu Xiaoteng's initial arrival had long since faded.

Not long after, Lu Xiaotian arrived at Tuo Ba Chongxiao's big tent. It was a simple tent, but it occupied an area of about several acres. Even Yuanshi level masters from the Giant Stone Tribe above level ten had to sit down on the ground to guard, which showed how dangerous the battle situation was.

“The Grand Elder is waiting for you inside.” Tuo Bái Hóng stood outside the big tent, his face respectfully solemn.

"Come in." As soon as Lu XiaTian reached the doorway, a gentle breeze blew and the canvas curtain of the tent automatically opened.

"I wonder what brings you to summon me, senior"

Lu Xia Tian bowed to Tuo Ba Chongxiao. The elder before him looked a little paler than the last time he saw him. It seemed that what Tuo Ba Hong said might not be false. Perhaps the Tuo Ba Chongxiao in front of him was really injured.

“With your calmness and intellect, I’m sure you can guess.” Tuoba Chongxiao looked at Lu Xiaodao with a half-smile, “Those extraterrestrial companions of yours are restless here all day long. Only you can remain calm and focused on cultivation. If it weren’t for me calling you over this time, you might not even know how long you’d stay in the Yinxing Cave. My Shíji clan’s cultivation holy land isn’t bad, is it”

“As for tempering oneself, the effect is indeed extraordinary.” It seems that the other party has already understood his actions over the past few years, so Lu Xia tian had nothing to deny.

"As you can see, the current state of my clan is dire. The skeletal army rampaging outside the city is merely an advance force of the Ghost Clan. When the true Nine Nether Ghost Clan arrives, the millennium tribulation foretold in the Xian Shi Ji will officially begin. The Dragon-Lion is a sacred relic of my Giant Stone Clan and our hope of surviving the coming millennium tribulation. Therefore, no matter what, the Dragon-Lion must remain with my clan. However, since you managed to subdue it, you must have paid a considerable price. My Giant Stone Clan can offer you compensation."

Tuoba Chongxiao spoke to Lu Xia Tian in an unquestionable tone.

Lu Xiaitian's face darkened. Even though the other party was a Level 10, or even above Level 10 expert, to so blatantly want something that belonged to him, Lu Xiaitian felt rage in his heart. However, due to his current strength, he couldn't resist for now.

"Di Kun is something I earned with my life, fighting alongside me all this way. You just want to take it away like that Don't you think that's too much"

Lu Xia Tian said in a cold voice, since the other party spoke to him like this, he must have something to discuss with him. Otherwise, if they could directly take it away, perhaps Tuo Tuo Ba Chongxiao wouldn't give him much face right now. He would have taken it directly when they first met.

And Di Kun, since then, to Lu Xiaotian has become more than just a spirit beast. He is like family. In many times facing threats to life, it was Di Kun who stood with him, weathering the storm together. 。Over the course of ten years, Lu XiaTian's cultivation aside, he had also accumulated a small amount of fairy spirit within the Town Demon Tower and the Qingguo Barrier. Enough for over six hundred...
