Along the way, Wang Han and Wu Kun explained the situation of the Blood Stone Stronghold while refining the spirit artifact that Mu Xuan had given them. As a result, Mu Xuan gained a general understanding of the Blood Stone Stronghold and felt more at ease.

The Blood Stone Stronghold was a place where humans gathered. However, it was not a gathering place with the consent of the royal family of the Great Song, so its security was not high. Therefore, there were not many people living inside.

Under normal circumstances, this was only the Blood Stone Village, but thirty years ago, it was occupied by a group of robbers, causing the entire village to be filled with smoke.

The current Blood Rock Stronghold was led by a bandit named Li Xue, who was also the leader of the bandits. He was a late stage Nascent Soul cultivator, and if it weren't for the commanders and soldiers of the Nine Cities, the border area would have been turned upside down long ago.

Furthermore, there was a brother at the late stage of the Nascent Soul Stage who held the position of the second in command of the Blood Stone Stronghold; three mid stage Nascent Soul Stage powerhouses, all three of them were third in command of the Blood Stone Stronghold, and the one who was killed was only the third in command with the weakest cultivation.

There were more than ten experts in the initial stages of the Nascent Soul stage.

Thinking about this Immortal Ancient Town, on the surface, it doesn't even have a single God of Reproduction. Just a small Blood Stone Stronghold already has more than ten people. One could imagine how powerful that Blood Stone Stronghold is.

Below them, there were even more enlightened and agile experts. In the entire Blood Stone Stronghold, according to what Wang Han knew, three years ago, the Mu Family had heard about at least three thousand people.

However, there was one thing. The people who lived in the Blood Stone Village were all fugitives. Some were forced, some were wanted, some were voluntary. In short, all of them were people who did not care for their lives.

According to Wu Kun and the others, there were at least a few hundred people like the Blood Stone Stronghold. If they were united, it would be a terrifying force.

These forces were known as underworld forces, and the strongest were even guarded by Origin Manipulation Realm cultivators. However, these existences were very careful and would never do anything excessive, because they knew that once they touched the bottom line of the Great Song, there would be no need for them to continue existing.

The Blood Stone Stronghold's actions this time around had already strictly violated the Song Province's bottom line against the underworld factions. Perhaps a big change would happen to the underworld factions.

If the other underworld forces were to find out, they would not allow the Blood Stone Stronghold to do anything. This was undoubtedly an excuse for Da Song to destroy all the underworld forces that existed here!

The distance of seventy li was nothing in the eyes of these people who had the lowest cultivation base but were at the peak of the agility level. An hour later, Mu Xuan and his men arrived in front of the Blood Stone Stronghold under the leadership of Wang Han.

The walls of the stronghold were built with earth that was more than ten feet high, and the tightly shut stronghold entrance was filled with numerous soldiers and sabers. The security was extremely tight.

It was as if the Blood Stone Stronghold was being guarded against a great enemy. This surprised Mu Xuan.

"Who are you? Why did you come to our Blood Stone Stronghold? "

With a cruel smile, he took out the three feet tall mountain peak that he had used many times before. A stream of sword Qi shot out and that person who had spoken on the wall of the stronghold was killed with a single sword strike.

After a moment of silence, a series of warning sounds came from the wall of the Bloody Stone Stronghold.

"Enemy attack!" Enemy attack! "Hurry and report this to the Great Master, the enemy is invading!"

The guards of the stronghold were all at most in the Enlightenment Realm. They were on par with Mu Xuan. How could they still have the confidence to kill an existence at the peak of the Spiritual Movement Stage with a single slash of Mu Xuan's sword! He could only shout out a warning so that the real experts would come and kill the people below.

At the same time, he also understood why the Great Master told them to be on high alert.

When Wang Han and Wu Kun saw the guards in blood-red robes on the wall, their eyes turned red. A vicious aura exploded out and their bodies started trembling uncontrollably.

Mu Xuan knew that this was the scene of them slaughtering more than 900 old, weak, and handicapped people in the village.

Thinking about it, it was indeed painful to see his loved ones fall one after the other in front of him without being able to do anything. Even though he knew Mu Xuan had killed the people chasing after him, he still couldn't quell their anger.

Just as they were about to start fighting, Wu Ling said in a wise tone, "Some of them are innocent. We cannot generalize about killing innocent people."

Wu Ling's words made the violent Mu Xuan slightly calmer.

Indeed, Wu Ling's words made a lot of sense. It was impossible for all of the 900 plus people in the village to participate in the massacre. There were indeed many innocent people among them.

Not only that, Mu Xuan found that no matter what, Wu Ling was always thoughtful.

Mu Xuan's mouth twitched. He also realized that this Blood Stone Village wasn't made of iron. After all, there would always be fights wherever there were people. As long as he killed the culprit, then there would definitely be people who would help uncover those involved.

This way, they would be able to kill less and reduce the pressure on themselves.

Three years ago, the Blood Stone Stronghold already had over three thousand people. But now, not to mention three thousand people, even if it were thirty thousand people, they could still live in this stronghold!

Just by telling the seven of them to kill the three thousand plus people who were waiting for their deaths, even if their combat power was not ordinary, it would still be impossible. They would also have a time when they would be exhausted, not to mention, how could these underworld forces not resist?

After thinking about it, he decided that he should find a safe way to destroy the forces of the Blood Stone Stronghold and avoid massacring.

With a flash of inspiration, Mu Xuan came up with a brilliant idea.

After whispering a few words into Wang Han's ear, Wang Han first found it unbelievable, but soon after, he revealed a crafty smile.

Wang Han came to the entrance of the stronghold and said to the guards, "Everyone, don't misunderstand. We are the subordinates of Han Sanhe. We fled back as fast as we could. This brother had killed our own people red-eyed and wrongly killed them. Please do not mind him."

When they heard that it was Han San's subordinates, the guards relaxed a little. Although Han San's cultivation was the lowest among the three Third Boss' families, he was after all the Third Boss', and his subordinates could not be offended. In addition, Han San had gone to chase down the two people who had escaped from the mountain village, so some leaders of the guards had heard about it.

But he still vigilantly asked: "Then where is Third Master Han now? "Why didn't you come with Third Master?"

Wang Hanyu said a few words with tears streaming down his face, but he did not say the main point. It was as if he was hiding something, which made the guards at the top of the stronghold impatient.

"Second Boss is here. Look, it's the Second Boss."

Soon, a middle-aged man with a dignified appearance arrived at the top of the city gates. He frowned while facing Mu Xuan's group of seven, who were covered in dust, dirt, and tattered clothing.

He realized that even though Mu Xuan and the others looked battered and exhausted, their killing intent was overwhelming. They didn't seem like Han Sanhe's subordinates at all.

When he thought about how Li Xue had slaughtered over 900 old, weak, and handicapped people in a remote area, this Second Leader had a guess.

Seeing that the one who could really make the decision was here, Wang Han's wail sounded like thunder: "Third Master died without justice ah!"

However, there was no trace of grief on his face. This made the Second Leader even more certain that these people were related to Li Xue slaughtering those 900 plus people!

Suddenly thinking of his recent dissatisfaction, the Second Leader's mind started to move.

"Open the gate and let them in."
