The Giant Stone City was located about a hundred kilometers to the south of the Freezing Sky Sect. It was a small city and the strongest practitioners within the city were the Mayor.
The moment Lin Hao came to the Giant Stone City, he immediately came to it.
But, in the past few months, not only had Black Wind Bandits's attitude changed greatly, every time they robbed someone, they would not only go on a killing spree, they would even abduct a young lady in the prime of their Giant Stone City.
As a result, as a Mayor user, Shi Yun thought of many ways, and finally contacted the Northern Frosty Sect, hoping that they would lend a helping hand.
"Stone Mayor, please tell me all the information that you have in your hands right now." Lin Hao said.
Shi Yun nodded his head and said, "The leader of these bandits was called Black Wind Bandit. When he first appeared six years ago, I fought him with my cultivation at the sixth level of Qi Sea Stage and defeated him. At that time, Black Wind Bandit was only at the second level of Qi Sea Stage. Three years ago, that Black Wind Bandit was already at the eighth level of Qi Sea Stage. In that exchange, I was seriously injured and was on the verge of death, and had to use many methods to survive, but in the recent three years, Black Wind Bandit has not appeared again. A bandit called Ba Hu is leading the operation, and that Ba Hu's cultivation should be at the level of Ninth Level of The Qi Hai Realm. "
Until now, I still have no idea where their bandit's nest is. I only know that they often come from a place called Stonefall Valley, and the total number of bandits is around fifty people, who are all Qi Sea Stage practitioners. "
Shi Yun explained to Lin Hao all he knew and then said, "Young Master Lin, if you go alone, I'm afraid it will be difficult to deal with the bandits. I can arrange for the strength of our City Lord'S Mansion to match yours."
Lin Hao shook his head, and said: "There's no need for now."
There were still too few clues involved in the battle. As for manpower, Lin Hao did not need them, with too many people, it would be inconvenient for him to do anything. Just as he was about to leave the City Lord'S Mansion, two more people walked in.
They were clearly disciples with Freezing Sky Sect and two practitioners with half a step into the Elemental Core Stage. One of them was Lv Zong.
Seeing that, Lin Hao did not believe that things would be so coincidental. The other two people who accepted the mission before him were from Southern Cold, and it was very possible that they used some methods to make the person who accepted the mission give up and replace them.
Lin Hao did not care about the two of them, but the two of them stood at the entrance, blocking Lin Hao's way out. Their eyes were unfriendly, but especially Lv Zong, their eyes were fierce.
"Lin Hao, I never thought that you would be so fast, just that, to complete this mission, you have no chance of succeeding, I advise you to get the hell out of the Giant Stone City right now, if you get in our way while we're doing this mission, we won't be courteous to you!" Lv Zong shouted coldly.
Lin Hao sneered and said: "We each rely on our own abilities."
"Lin Hao, I was careless last time, and you luckily had the upper hand. This time, I will definitely let you know how powerful I am." Lv Zong clenched his teeth and said.
"Last time?" Lin Hao looked at him and spoke.
The last time he attacked outside the mission hall, he remembered Lin Hao, yet Lin Hao did not even turn around to look at him. He simply did not know who he was, and this feeling made the anger in Lv Zong's heart blaze up multiple times!
"Remember, my name is Lv Zong. I guarantee that this name will become your next nightmare!" Lv Zong bellowed.
"Lin Hao, you are just a newcomer, but your actions are a little too arrogant. The wood is the wood, and the wind is necessary to destroy the forest, it seems like you do not understand, for whatever plans you have next, I hope that you can honestly tell us and only act after obtaining our consent. Otherwise, it will affect our plans, and affect our plans to eradicate the Black Wind Bandits.
"What I want to do is my own business. You don't have the right to criticize me. Now, you can move aside."
"You …" Lv Zong was almost unable to control his emotions and was about to attack.
"Junior brother Lu." The other person anxiously stopped Lv Zong and looked at Lin Hao: "Brat, my name is Liang Mu, I won't care too much about you, but from today onwards, you better behave yourself."
Lin Hao sneered, and then passed between the two of them.

After leaving the City Lord'S Mansion, Lin Hao followed some of the scattered clues that the stone luck had given him and arrived at the Stone Valley.
used his True Eye of Martial Arts to investigate, and very quickly found a few hidden mechanisms and secret passages. He did not know the situation inside, thus, Lin Hao did not rashly enter.
It was already close to dusk and the sky gradually darkened. Lin Hao directly made a fire in the rubble valley, and then conveniently took out a fat hare to roast. Not long after, a rich smell of meat wafted out.
After he finished eating and drinking his fill, Lin Hao sat cross legged beside the bonfire and started to cultivate his Heaven Defying Sword Canon. He operated his Sword Element and actively spread his own The Aura of Strength out.
During the entire night, Lin Hao discovered many hidden forces to check on himself, but he pretended not to notice them.
The night seemed to pass peacefully.
In the sky, a weak light was gradually emitted.
Just then, a finger thick, black snake with a triangular head crawled out from a pile of fine rocks. It crawled towards Lin Hao, who was fast asleep at the side, and quickly climbed up the rock, arriving beside Lin Hao's neck. It flicked its tongue, and suddenly bit towards Lin Hao!
"Shua!"
Just at this moment, a Sword Qi shot out from Lin Hao's body, cutting the poisonous snake into two, in the next moment, Lin Hao's figure was nowhere to be seen!
Not far away, a man wearing a black cloak and hiding behind a boulder looked surprised. Just as he was about to leave, he saw his target standing in front of him.
Without the slightest hesitation, he flung his arm, and several more small poisonous objects flew towards Lin Hao from within his sleeves.
Lin Hao snorted, and the Heavenly Marks Sword was instantly unsheathed, the sword light flashed, the sharp Qi cutting all the poison into pieces, the man wearing the black cape did not dare move, because the cold, sharp sword tip was already at his throat!
