Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Even the Great Lun Sect, which everyone knew had suffered a great loss at the hands of Du Shaofu, had never made trouble for the Seven Star Hall.
The calmness of the Nine Great Lun Sect made people feel that there was a special undercurrent.
It seemed that something big was about to happen in the Central Plains that had been peaceful for a long time.
The Desolate Country stood between the Dark Forest and Stone City. Even though many empires on the border were dividing up the Stone Dragon Empire, no one dared to make a move against the Desolate Country.
The old kings of the Stone Dragon Empire couldn't hold on until the new generation of the General, Gu Xinyan, Guo Shaofeng, Ghost Child, Wu Que, and others joined in. They had all stepped into the Martial Emperor Realm and were extremely talented. Therefore, they were able to hold back several empires and barely put up a last stand.
However, that kind of resistance wouldn't last long.
After repeated wars, the last army of the Stone Dragon Empire couldn't hold on anymore. They were short on supplies and their morale was unstable.
More importantly, the shadows of several of the Nine Great Lun Sects were behind the empires. Even the General and the others couldn't hold on for long.
"The Dragon Vein has been broken. Is the Stone Dragon Empire's fate really coming to an end?"
Smoke rose in front of the army. The North Vanquishing King wore blood-stained armor and had a solemn expression.
…
Stone City, Du family's back mountain.
"Sister Youruo, everything has been arranged. We've done our best to take care of the refugees of the Stone Dragon Empire."
On the mountain peak, Li Xue's attire was still as enchanting. She had become more capable over the years.
She was young but held a high position in the World Society. At this time, she was already famous in the Desolate Country. She had countless suitors but no one could get close to her.
"Do our best, especially the old, the weak, women, and children. Also, let the flying monsters of the Heavenly Beast Hall bring food, water, and medicine to places with more refugees," said Murong Youruo.
"Okay."
Li Xue nodded and turned to leave. Then, she seemed to remember something and looked back at Murong Youruo. She wanted to say something but stopped.
"Just say what you want to say. Is there anything you can't say to me?" Murong You Ruo smiled.
Li Xue's eyes moved, she smiled faintly and said, "Many of the elders in the Du Family have some complaints about you, and some people in the Stone City also feel that you are too hard hearted. At the very least, you should have taken down the Lanling Prefecture to settle the refugees. These days, the Vice President and the Minister have been under a lot of pressure."
"After all, Stone City and the Stone Dragon Empire have a lot of connections."
Murong Youruo's eyes seemed calm. She then muttered in a low voice, "It's good that they are kind-hearted, but they won't be able to accomplish great things …"
Li Xue looked at Murong Youruo and said, "No matter what, I will always support Sister Youruo."
"Why do you support such a hard-hearted person like me?" Murong Youruo asked Li Xue with a faint smile.
"Because you're doing this for the Guild Leader. You know that even if the Guild Leader were here right now, he would've already taken action. You're just trying to pave a path for the Guild Leader while he's not here."
Li Xue said with a smile. She then turned around and left. Her beautiful figure left behind a beautiful arc in the air before she disappeared.
"It's really hard on you, little girl."
As Li Xue's figure left, a rather wretched middle-aged face appeared in front of Murong Youruo.
"Brother Qing Chun."
Murong Youruo smiled and bowed when she saw the figure in front of her.
"There's no need for those formalities. I'm just an idle person." Zhen Qingchun smiled. There was a charm around him.
"If Brother Qing Chun were an idle person, I can guarantee that the Great Lun Sect would've wanted to come to the Desolate Nation long ago."
Murong Youruo's autumn eyes were like water. Under her long eyelashes, her eyes glowed with spiritual light. Her temperament was like a gentle breeze that gently brushed past her.
"Haha …"
Zhen Qingchun smiled and looked at Murong Youruo before him. He said softly, "I didn't expect that the ones with courage in the Desolate Nation would be you two little girls."
"Brother Qing Chun, you must be joking. Old Yi went into seclusion because Miss Xie Fei has already become his disciple. She has received the true teachings of Old Yi. He was afraid that Miss Xie Fei would come to ask for help. Therefore, he deliberately went into seclusion and left everything to me.
The Vice President is also clear in his heart. However, as a member of the Desolate Nation's Royal Family, he should be benevolent. He is now representing the Roc Emperor. There are some things that he wants to do, but may not be suitable for him to do.
Therefore, there are some things that only an outsider like me can do. "
Murong Youruo walked with light steps. Her delicate body was lithe and tender, and her curves were graceful. Her delicate face was peerless. She looked at the mountain peak in front of her with ripples in her eyes.
Zhen Qingchun looked at the girl before him and smiled. He then waved his hand and said with some arrogance, "Yi Wuming and Du Yunlong can see it, but they don't do it. They are benevolent. They can only guard the mountains and rivers, but they can't open them."
"Guarding a mountain is more difficult than opening a river."
Murong Youruo looked at Zhen Qingchun and said with a smile, "Brother Qing Chun, are you saying that I'm not benevolent enough, that my heart is hard, and that I'm a vicious woman?"
"But now is not the time for that kid to guard a mountain. What he needs is to open a river. Open a mountain and river!"
Zhen Qingchun looked at Murong Youruo and smiled, saying, "I know whether you're a vicious woman or not."
Murong Youruo smiled and continued to look ahead. The breeze lifted her skirt and she said softly, "I don't know when he will come back."
"He must have encountered something. At least there won't be any danger in the Ancient Heaven Sect."
Said Zhen Qingchun. Looking at the girl in front of him, there was a slight fluctuation in the depths of his inverted triangular eyes. After which, he smiled and said, "Girl, since you call me Brother Qingchun, why don't you become my sworn sister? I just don't know if you are willing."
"Youruo greets Brother Qing Chun."
A smile appeared on Murong Youruo's beautiful face. She immediately bowed. She knew what kind of person the person before her was.
"Haha …"
Zhen Qingchun smiled and helped Murong Youruo up. "Do whatever you want in the future. I'm here for you."
"Thank you, Brother Qing Chun."
Murong Youruo was grateful. She knew that the middle-aged man before her was helping her and becoming her pillar of support.
"Silly girl."
Zhen Qingchun smiled and walked a few steps to the edge of the mountain peak. He stood with his hands behind his back and looked at the sky with a serious expression. Then, a chill flashed in the depths of his wretched but charming eyes. He said softly, "He needs to be strong. Not only himself, but also those around him. In the future, he won't be facing one person, but a group of people from that clan. If he isn't strong, he won't be able to dig out his heart a second time!"
… … …
Time flowed like water. As Du Shaofu returned to the Ancient Heaven Sect, spring passed and autumn came. Two cycles had already passed.
Amidst the lush green mountains, strange flowers, and towering trees, there was a tinge of reddish-yellow color.
The barren mountain had appeared in the ancient golden space, hanging on the top of two huge mountain peaks. It had already been a year since it appeared.
Time quietly passed, but many people in the Ancient Heaven Sect were burning with anxiety. However, none of them could do anything about Du Shaofu.
Du Shaofu was still immersed in front of the ancient stone tablet. Ever since he opened his eyes for ten days a few months ago, he had not opened them again.
During this period, the area around the barren mountain had become a forbidden area of the Ancient Heaven Sect. Apart from a few people like Elder Gu Qingyang, even many elders of the Ancient Heaven Sect were forbidden from getting too close.
However, all the disciples of the Ancient Heaven Sect knew that Du Shaofu was meditating in front of the stone tablet. He seemed to be comprehending something.
Even outside the Ancient Heaven Sect, there was a lot of news that Du Shaofu, the Demon King, had been in seclusion in the Ancient Heaven Sect during the two years he had disappeared.
In a vast and ancient space, there was an independent world. The mountains were lush green, and there were many ancient buildings with exquisite carvings.
A lone peak stood tall, covered in lush green vegetation. The sky was blue and vast.
A woman in a green dress stood on the mountain peak. She was only 21 or 22 years old. Her dress fluttered in the wind, and her black hair fell to her perky buttocks. The outline of her exquisite face revealed an otherworldly aura.
