Shi Potian quietly stood on top of the city wall. Their Stonebull City-State wasn't a large city-state, and its establishment was quite legendary.
Stonebull City was established by an ordinary soldier, and this soldier's surname was Shi. This sounded very ridiculous. How could an ordinary soldier establish a city? But in the world of spirit weapons, such a miracle happened.
The Shi Clan's Ancestor was named Shi Gandang. He was originally an ordinary soldier in Stonebull City. In Stonebull City, ordinary soldiers had to learn a cultivation method, the Stonebull Cultivation Method. This method was the most basic cultivation method for ordinary soldiers to practice. Ordinary soldiers who practiced this method would at most have a bit more strength and a bit more defensive power. It was definitely one of the most basic cultivation methods in the world of spirit weapons.
However, the Shi Clan's Ancestor was a rare genius. Naturally, because he came from an ordinary family and his soul was a cow, he didn't attract much attention. After he grew up, in order to make a living, he joined the army and became an ordinary soldier. Naturally, he also learned the Stonebull Cultivation Method.
In the Spirit Weapon World, ordinary commoners could only cultivate the most superficial cultivation techniques. It was the same for the Patriarch of the Shi family. In the past, when he was at home, he had already cultivated some of the most ordinary cultivation techniques. However, his progress wasn't fast. Other than his innate strength and the fact that he ate more than others, no one had discovered anything special about him.
Later on, when the Shi Clan suffered a disaster, Shi Gandang was forced to join the army in order to make a living. When he joined the army, he was already 20 years old. It can be said that he had passed the best age for cultivation.
However, Shi Gandang didn't expect that after he practiced the Stonebull Cultivation Method, his progress would increase by leaps and bounds. His cultivation increased very quickly, and soon, his strength surpassed most of the soldiers.
However, Shi Gandang wasn't a young man who didn't know anything. He was very clear that the faster he cultivated, the faster he would die. This was because at that time, the army of Stonebull City was under the control of the Great Clans. If a civilian cultivates fast, then he would be a genius and could threaten their rule. Such people would often be sent to carry out certain death missions. In the end, they would die without knowing why.
Shi Gandang knew about this, so he didn't show his strength. He only showed that he was a bit stronger than ordinary soldiers. At the same time, he also became a low-level officer in the army.
But later on, a war broke out between Stonebull City and a neighboring city. The army of Stonebull City was defeated again and again. Moreover, the city used decapitation tactics. The Great Clans of Stonebull City were destroyed one after another. In the end, even the city lord's family was destroyed. The Stonebull City was about to fall.
If that city had taken over Stonebull City and treated the people of Stonebull City well, then perhaps Shi Gandang would have become a civilian. Perhaps he would have relied on his own strength to establish a family. However, he definitely wouldn't have become the city lord of a city.
However, the city-state that conquered the Stone Bull City-State didn't treat the ordinary people of the Stone Bull City-State well. They massacred the people of the city and didn't care about them at all. In this case, the people of the Stone Bull City-State naturally resisted, and so did Shi Gandang. It was during this battle that Shi Gandang showed his strength for the first time. Under his leadership, the people of the Stone Bull City-State slowly united and started to fight against the invaders.
This war lasted for a total of five years, and Shi Gandang went from an ordinary soldier, from someone who hadn't even reached the Sky Dance level, to a Sky Dance level expert, even reaching the half-step Broken River level.
After five years of war, the invaders of Stonebull City were beaten into submission. In the end, the city retreated. Although Stonebull City lost some land, it wasn't a lot. Stonebull City still retained two-thirds of its original cities.
It can be said that it was under Shi Gandang's leadership that Stonebull City was re-established. Because of Shi Gandang's leadership, after the city was re-established, Shi Gandang was revered as the city lord. This was the origin of the Shi Clan.
After Shi Gandang became the City Lord of the Shi Family, he began to vigorously promote the Stone Ox Cultivation Technique. Of course, after many years of cultivating the Stone Ox Cultivation Technique, Shi Gandang also made improvements to the Stone Ox Cultivation Technique. In the end, the Stone Ox Cultivation Technique of the Stone Ox City-State had become a famous cultivation technique in the entire spirit weapon world.
On the other hand, because the Shi Family was different from the traditional Great Clans, their rule over Stonebull City was also different. Stonebull City could be said to be a very poor place. This was because their ruler wasn't from a Great Clan, so they didn't know much about business. As the saying goes, one can't be rich without business. Therefore, Stonebull City was very poor.
However, the Shi Clan was very good to the ordinary people of Stonebull City. Not only were their taxes very low, but they were also very fair.
Naturally, the most important thing was that Stonebull City was a military city-state. In this city-state, all adult men had to undergo military training. Because of this, Stonebull City's army was very strong.
But because they were too poor, the state of Stonebull City's army wasn't very good. They belonged to the category of city-states that were good at defense but not good at offense.
This time, the reason why they joined the Anti-Sacred Academy Alliance was because the relationship between Stonebull City and the Sacred Academy wasn't very good. Because of their background, the Sacred Academy had always looked down on the Shi Clan. Moreover, the Shi Clan's temper was very strong. If you look down on me, I'll ignore you. Because of this, Stonebull City and the Sacred Academy became more and more hostile.
The Sacred Institute wasn't a good organization, they didn't want to see the city-state develop. Because of this, the people of the Sacred Institute suppressed Stonebull City-State in many ways. If the people of Stonebull City-State weren't hardworking, then they would have already been disbanded.
Because of this, the Shi Clan and the Sacred Academy became more and more hostile. When the Anti-Sacred Academy Alliance was formed, the Shi Clan immediately joined. Moreover, they were one of the few city-states that didn't have a rebellion.
This time, the Sacred Academy chose Stonebull City as their target because they wanted to make a show of strength. They wanted to eliminate the Shi Clan in one fell swoop. The Shi Clan had long been an eyesore to the Sacred Academy.
Shi Potian was the current head of the Shi Clan, the city lord of Stonebull City. This time, the Sacred Academy didn't send a lot of people to attack Stonebull City, only about 300 people. However, these people were all Void Dance Experts. Because of the Stonebull City's cultivation method, they didn't have a lot of Void Dance Experts. A considerable number of Void Dance Experts went to support Puhe City. Because of this, there were only a few dozen Void Dance Experts in Stonebull City. Naturally, they couldn't go out and fight against the Sacred Academy, they could only defend the city.
Shi Potian has already arrived at the city. Naturally, they wouldn't let the Sacred Academy enter the city. If they let the Sacred Academy attack, then they wouldn't be able to force them out of the city.
The Stonebull City has already repelled the Sacred Academy's attacks several times. Although the Stonebull City didn't have a lot of experts, their ordinary soldiers weren't that strong. Even if the Sacred Academy used scattered troops, they still wouldn't be able to break into the city. Now, the Stonebull City and the Sacred Academy have been fighting for three days. The Sacred Academy still hasn't managed to break into the city. One can say that this was a small miracle.
However, Shi Potian was now somewhat worried. This was because the casualties in the city were very high. Most of them were Void Dance Experts. Moreover, the Stonebull City wasn't a rich city. There wasn't a lot of food stored in the city. Once the battle started, food would be consumed. Because of this, the situation in the city wasn't very optimistic. Shi Potian didn't know how long he could defend the city.
At this time, footsteps were suddenly heard. Shi Potian didn't need to look to know that the person who came was his younger brother Shi Poshan. Shi Poshan quickly walked to Shi Potian's side and excitedly said, "Big Brother, there's good news. City Lord Zhao Hai just sent people over. They said that they have solved the problem in Deer City and are preparing to send reinforcements to support us."
When Shi Potian heard this, he couldn't help but stare. Then he immediately said with a happy face, "It's solved? Good, very good. Quick, tell City Lord Zhao Hai that we are ready. They can come at any time. " Shi Poshan nodded and turned around. Shi Potian also couldn't stay here any longer. After giving a few words to the people on the city wall, he also came down from the city wall and directly went to the transmission formation.
As soon as Shi Potian arrived at the transmission formation, he saw a white light flash on the transmission formation. Then a group of people appeared in the transmission formation. The person in the lead was tall and big. It was Zhao Hai.
Although Shi Potian hadn't seen Zhao Hai, but he knew a lot of rumors about Zhao Hai. He knew that Zhao Hai was tall and big. Now that he saw Zhao Hai, he naturally wouldn't be mistaken. He immediately stepped forward and cupped his fist to Zhao Hai and said, "Greetings City Lord Zhao Hai. I am the City Lord of the Stonebull City, Shi Potian."
Zhao Hai quickly returned the greeting and said, "Greetings City Lord Shi. Thank you for your hard work these past two days. We're late."
Shi Potian quickly said, "You're not late. As long as the city isn't broken, you're not late. City Lord Zhao, please go to the City Lord's Mansion to rest."
Just as he said this, the sound of a gong could be heard from the city wall. This gong was very loud, the entire city could hear it. Upon hearing this, Shi Potian's expression couldn't help but change as he said, "The Sacred Court is attacking again."
Zhao Hai turned his head to Shi Potian and said, "City Lord Shi, I ask you to resist the Holy Court's attack and repel them. Once the reinforcements arrive, we'll be able to eliminate the Holy Court's people in one fell swoop. If we attack now, the Holy Court's people would notice us and they might run away. Then all of our previous efforts would be wasted." Shi Potian nodded and said, "City Lord Shi, I ask you to resist the Holy Court's attack and repel them. Once the reinforcements arrive, we'll be able to eliminate the Holy Court's people in one fell swoop. If we attack now, the Holy Court's people might discover us and run away.
Shi Potian didn't even think about it before he nodded and said, "Alright, I'll leave it to you. Poshan, stay here with City Lord Zhao." Then he turned around and walked away.
