After crossing over, he has no taboos among the zombies.

At the same time, in the backyard of the "Lookout Inn" on the other side of Blackrock Town, the wind blew gravel onto the dilapidated wooden fence, making a crackling sound.

Big Tooth Gold leaned against a smoothly polished wooden pillar, his fingertips unconsciously rubbing the row of shiny gold teeth at the corners of his mouth - this sign had accompanied him in Sin City for twenty years, but now it was missing several teeth and looked a little funny.

Behind him, Liu Shan, Ge Yanbing, Ma Da and Ma Er, four trusted confidants, were either sitting or standing, their faces showing fatigue from running around. They hadn't taken off their weapons at their waists yet, and the blood stains on the blades had already dried up and turned dark brown.

Shen Gonglan's reaction speed was far beyond their imagination. Just as they finished dealing with the industries in Sin City, the pursuers came to kill them.

If the messenger of God had not returned to the Sin City and Shen Gonglan had not been held back, they would never have been able to get here.

"Master Tai, do you really want to give away that 'Blood Jasper'? You risked your life to snatch it from the den of sand bandits!" Ma Da couldn't help but speak. He had a rough voice and spoke with a straightforward and urgent tone.

Ma Er tugged at his sleeve, but couldn't help looking at the bulging bag in Dayajin's arms, his eyes full of reluctance.

Big Tooth Gold spat fiercely, his teeth flashing in the dim light. "You can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a child! Shen Gonglan's men are only a hundred miles away from Black Stone Town. If we don't bribe the Black Stone elders, we won't be able to save the blood jade, let alone our own lives!"

He turned to look at Ge Yanbing, who was lean and sharp-eyed. "Bingzi, go to the door and keep an eye on it. Don't let anyone get close. If you see anyone from Blackrock Town, report it immediately."

Then he said to Ma Da and Ma Er, "Check the things again, don't make any mistakes."

Several people nodded, and Ge Yanbing tiptoed to the door of the inn. Ma Da and Ma Er took the bundle and carefully looked through the three treasures inside: a blood chalcedony as big as a pigeon egg with a warm red glow, the handle of a beast bone dagger with three crystal cores embedded in it, and a small jar of tightly sealed ambergris - each of them was Dayajin's most valuable possession.

A moment later, Ge Yanbing came back and reported in a low voice: "Master Tai, there's not much noise outside. There aren't many people on the street. They're all familiar faces in town."

Dayajin nodded and patted his bag: "Come on, follow me to Elder Black Stone. Remember, when we get there, talk less and follow my instructions."

The four of them followed Daya Jin through the gravel road of Black Stone Town and headed straight for a forest in the deepest part of the river bend in Black Stone Town. They used spirit stones to clear the way along the way, and fortunately, everything went smoothly.

Deep in the woods, there is a mansion built of a whole piece of black rock. The courtyard wall is three meters high. At the door, two people have long swords hanging from their waists, and their eyes are as sharp as hawks.

As soon as he approached, he was stopped by the guard with a sword drawn: "Who are you? Black Stone Town is a forbidden area. No unauthorized persons are allowed to approach."

Just as Ge Yanbing was about to step forward, Dayajin immediately held him back and put on a flattering smile, with the gold teeth at the corners of his mouth particularly conspicuous: "Thank you for your hard work, brothers. I am Dayajin, and I have an urgent matter to discuss with Elder Heishi.

This small gift is not a token of respect, so please let me know." As he spoke, he pulled the animal bone dagger from his bag and handed it to the guard. The crystal core on the dagger faintly radiated spiritual energy, and it was obvious at first glance that it was not an ordinary object.

The guard on the left weighed the dagger, his eyes moved, but his face remained stern: "The elder is in seclusion and will not see outsiders. Hurry and leave, don't ask for trouble."

Ma Da couldn't help but erupt, but Ma Er held him back. Dayajin took a deep breath, fished out the heavy ingot of blood chalcedony, and bent even lower, almost touching the ground. "Brother, please be flexible! I have a connection with Elder Black Stone, and I come to you with all sincerity. This blood chalcedony is of top quality, capable of warming a cultivator's meridians. I only ask that you let me see the elder, even if it's just for a word!"

The way he used to order his men around in Sin City had now turned into servile flattery.

The guard stared at the blood chalcedony for a long time, and finally said to his companion: "You guard the door, I'll go ask." After that, he turned and went into the mansion.

Da Yajin stood at the door, cold sweat dripping down his temples. Behind him, Liu Shan and the other three watched warily, their hands resting on their weapons. They all knew this was their only chance of survival. A few days ago, in the wilderness, Shen Gonglan's men had nearly surrounded and killed them several times. If it weren't for a group of old brothers who risked their lives to cover their retreat, they wouldn't have been able to escape Blackrock Town.

The team of dozens of people was either dead or scattered, and only these few people were left following Dayajin.

After a cup of tea, the guard came back and said coldly, "The elder said that we only have one stick of incense left for you to come in alone."

Dayajin's heart tightened, but he nodded immediately: "Thank you, brother!" He turned to Liu Shan and the other three and instructed, "You wait here and don't cause trouble." After that, he followed the guards into the elders' residence.

After crossing two courtyards, they arrived at the dim main hall. Sitting on the throne, Elder Heishi's hair and beard were all white, but his eyes were surprisingly bright. Dayajin fell to his knees with a thud and kowtowed three times. "I, Ye Tai, pay my respects to Elder Heishi! I beg you to save my life!"

"Ye Tai." Elder Black Stone's voice was hoarse and emotionless as he spoke slowly, "Back then, you despised Black Stone Town as inferior to Sin City. What's wrong? Are you unhappy now?"

"Elder, please understand!"

Dayajin's voice trembled, "I accidentally killed Shen Gonglan's nephew Shen Gongjin, and am now being hunted by Shen Gonglan's men."

He hurriedly placed the blood chalcedony and ambergris on the ground. "These are my humble gifts. I only ask that the elder take me and my brothers in! I also have a secret warehouse with thirty carts of black iron essence and twenty boxes of various healing herbs. If you are willing to protect me, I will have them shipped here immediately!"

Elder Blackstone's gaze fell on the blood chalcedony, his fingers tapping gently on the armrest. A deathly silence fell over the hall. The incense stick's flame gradually dwindled, and Dayajin's back was already drenched in cold sweat.

Finally, the elder spoke, "Shen Gonglan is a treacherous and cunning man. It's unwise to offend him for such a small thing as yours. But then again, Black Stone Town isn't a place he can just come to. Well... for the sake of our past friendship, I'll allow you to stay in Black Stone Town."

Dayajin felt as if he had been pardoned and kowtowed repeatedly: "Thank you, Elder! Thank you, Elder!"

"Go down, someone will arrange accommodation for you. Don't go out and show off if you have nothing to do."

"Thank you, Elder! Thank you, Elder!"

A moment later, Dayajin walked out of the Elders' Mansion and saw Liu Shan and the other three. Ma Da hurried forward and asked, "Master Tai, is it done?"

Da Ya Jin gritted his teeth and shook his head: "Let's talk about it when we get back!"
