The nights in Blackstone Town are colder than those in Blackwater City.

Not because of the weather, but because the town has turned into a powder keg.

When Su Yu and Lin Shuang rode into the town, the notice board at the entrance of the town was filled with reward orders and recruitment orders posted by people from all walks of life.

The most eye-catching one was posted by the Qingyun Sect three days ago, with a blurry human face and the words "Wanted Order: This person stole the ancient secret treasure in Heifeng Ridge, killed the captain of the Qingyun Sect's law enforcement team and many disciples, and offered a reward of 5,000 spiritual stones, regardless of his life or death."

The face in the portrait is only 50 or 60% similar to Su Yu - the painter who issued the reward has only met Su Yu once, and in the chaos of the beast siege, being able to draw 56% of it is already a gift.

Su Yu and Lin Shuang changed into coarse cloth robes and smeared disguise cream on their faces, blending inconspicuously among the refugees from the wasteland.

The two found an abandoned stable on the edge of the town.

The roof of the stable has collapsed in half, and the floor is covered with moldy straw, but it is the safest place in Blackstone Town - at least better than the inn, which is full of spies from all walks of life.

As soon as we settled down, there was a noisy sound of horse hooves coming from the entrance of the town.

Su Yu looked out from the broken wall of the stable and saw a group of monks wearing uniform blue uniforms riding their horses into Blackstone Town.

The cuffs of their robes were embroidered with a small alchemy furnace pattern, and there were three silver ripples below the alchemy furnace - that was the logo of Ling Snake Trading Company, the largest chamber of commerce in Beimang, which mainly engaged in the sale of elixirs, magical weapons and intelligence.

The leader was an old man in brocade clothes who was in the middle stage of foundation building. He had a gray beard, a string of storage bags hanging around his waist, and his eyes were bright and restrained.

Behind him were dozens of capable monks, two of whom had auras that even Su Yu couldn't see through.

"People from Spirit Snake Trading Company are here too."

Lin Shuang lowered her voice, "They came for the secret treasure.

After the news of Tianji Pavilion came out, the whole Beimang went crazy.

Spirit Snake Trading Company must have spies in the town, and anyone suspicious will be targeted."

Just as Su Yu was about to answer, there was a heavier sound of horse hoofbeats at the entrance of the town.

This time, a group of monks came here wearing red armor. The armor was engraved with flame patterns. The leader was a middle-aged man riding a fire-scaled beast. In the late stage of foundation building, he had a long red sword hanging on his waist. The scabbard was inlaid with a fist-sized fire spirit stone.

Behind him were dozens of monks who were also wearing flame armor. They were in neat formation and full of murderous intent.

"Fire Yang Sect."

Lin Shuang's voice became even lower, "One of the strongest sects in Beimang, the sect leader is said to be in the elixir formation stage.

They were sworn enemies of the Spirit Snake Trading Company, and the two families had been at war over the Black Mountain Mine for more than ten years.

Now both families have sent people to Blackstone Town, and the town is afraid that it will explode."
