"Elder Tuo!"

Ma Zhengting pondered for a moment, then spoke seriously.

The silent, gloomy-faced old man also stepped in front of Ma Zhengting at this time.

"Family Head, please instruct me."

Elder Tuo is the hidden blade of Mirror Lake Villa.

His strength is second only to Ma Zhengting.

However, very few know of his power because those who have seen him act are mostly dead.

"Elder Tuo, this time you personally take action and eliminate Ma Tong."

"As for that Zhang Xiaoshan, try to imprison him."

"His artifact refining methods are remarkable."

"I've seen Li Chengfeng from the Xuanqi Sect make artifacts many times, and he's still a bit inferior to Zhang Xiaoshan."

"If we can imprison this man in Mirror Lake Villa to continuously refine magic artifacts for the Ma family,"

"The strength of the Ma family will definitely see a tremendous leap in a very short time."

After Ma Zhengting finished speaking, Elder Tuo nodded solemnly.

Then, like a shadow, he disappeared completely in an instant.

On a cliff of Sun and Moon Mountain, Zhang Xiaoshan, Lin Miaomiao, and Ma Tong were having a picnic.

It was Lin Miaomiao's idea, she thought the scenery of Sun and Moon Mountain was excellent, and a picnic here would be very pleasant.

Zhang Xiaoshan didn't plan to leave Sun and Moon Mountain immediately, so he naturally agreed upon Lin Miaomiao's suggestion.

"Brother Zhang, thank you so much for helping me craft such a powerful magic artifact."

"But I really have nothing to repay you with right now."

Ma Tong had been expressing her gratitude all afternoon, to the point where Zhang Xiaoshan's ears were getting calloused.

Yet every now and then, Ma Tong couldn't help but thank him again.

All Zhang Xiaoshan could do was to let her continue talking.

"The scenery of Sun and Moon Mountain is beautiful both day and night."

Lin Miaomiao looked at the scene of the rising moon in the distance, feeling the boundless beauty of nature.

On Sun and Moon Mountain, the moon and stars seemed to become very clear.

After watching for a while, Lin Miaomiao continued.

"Sun and Moon Mountain was quite lively during the day, why is it so quiet now?"

Upon Lin Miaomiao's inquiry, Ma Tong replied casually.

"Not really."

"Sun and Moon Mountain is also very lively at night."

"Apart from the Mirror Lake Villa area, the other night markets are brightly lit, with many people partying all night long."

"The place we're at now is even a great spot to watch the sunrise."

"Many people usually stay around here to wait for the next sunrise."

"It's just strange that no one else has come today."

Ma Tong was very puzzled.

Many people would usually come to this place.

After Ma Tong finished speaking, Zhang Xiaoshan stood up calmly and said to Lin Miaomiao and Ma Tong.

"Wait for me here for a while, I'll be back shortly."

Although Ma Tong and Lin Miaomiao didn't know why no one had come, Zhang Xiaoshan knew the reason.

Because not far from the hillside, many figures had already appeared.

Among the many figures, the three leading them were not unfamiliar to Zhang Xiaoshan.

Because these three were the Golden Monk, Silver Taoist, and Bronze Beggar, the three Divine Realm Masters.

"Brother Zhang, we meet again."

Seeing Zhang Xiaoshan appear in the distance, the white-haired Gu Taoist greeted with a smile.

The Bronze Beggar Wu Simian and the Golden Monk Kuduo stood with indifferent expressions, saying nothing.

Seeing these three and the cultivators behind them, Zhang Xiaoshan's demeanor remained unchanged.

He simply said to everyone in a very calm manner.

"Leave while I still have an interest in moon-gazing!"

Zhang Xiaoshan knew why they had come.

A treasure-laden artifact refiner, more formidable than Xia He, clearly wouldn't go unnoticed.

Even the refiner himself was a unique commodity.

Upon hearing Zhang Xiaoshan's words, Silver Taoist Gu Taoist was not the least bit annoyed.

He chuckled and said:

"Brother Zhang, don't be misguided."

"We have so many people here, even a single Divine Realm master could easily be too much for you to handle."

"But rest assured, with the old Taoist, Golden Monk, and Bronze Beggar here, Brother Zhang's safety is guaranteed."

"Hand over the two storage rings you're carrying to the other friends here."

"As for Brother Zhang, as we felt an instant rapport upon meeting, come with us and help us three refine some magic artifacts."

"Your life is bound to be better than it is now."

"What do you think?"

Gu Taoist seemed certain he had Zhang Xiaoshan cornered, speaking with a nonchalant air.

Once Gu Taoist finished, Zhang Xiaoshan wasn't even interested in replying.

Gu Taoist initially had a smile on his face.

But Zhang Xiaoshan completely ignored him, not even considering engaging.

It made him seem like a clown in the middle of the forest.

"Why waste words with him?"

"Let the old beggar subdue him, and we will proceed as planned."

After Wu Simian the Bronze Beggar spoke, he suddenly attacked.

The Golden Monk Kuduo remained silent, evidently agreeing with the Bronze Beggar's strategy.

Although the Bronze Beggar was known for his defense as a body refining master,

His speed was not slow; in the blink of an eye, he appeared in front of Zhang Xiaoshan and reached out to grab him!
