"Yes, even that kid is a disciple of the Ancient Heaven Sect."
Sima Ta Xing smiled slightly, and then a complicated look flashed through his eyes. He said softly, "It's just that that kid is indifferent to the position of Sect Master of the Ancient Heaven Sect. It seems that the entire Ancient Heaven Sect is not enough to fill his heart. The world will be in chaos. Maybe he can really make a name for himself …"
After leaving the Ancient Heaven Sect, Du Shaofu moved the Purple Lightning Profound Cauldron into the Desolate Ancient Space again.
Then, Du Shaofu sat cross-legged on the Demon Lion's back. He pondered for a while and began to meditate.
He had just broken through and needed to stabilize his cultivation.
After a while, Du Shaofu's body was covered in golden light. He was meditating and comprehending the Weapon Dao that he had comprehended from the second stone tablet.
… … …
The Stone Dragon Empire was invaded by the armies of eight countries. Although they had the support of several old kings, they were still forced to retreat.
Fortunately, the general and Gu Xinyan returned. They managed to hold the Stone Dragon Empire back until now.
The armies of the Eight Empires attacked from all directions. Compared to the three Empires that had joined forces, their strength was undoubtedly much stronger.
Among the eight countries, there were one valley, two churches, three sects, three schools, and nine major forces. Even the general couldn't hold on.
If the eight countries didn't seem to have some scruples, they would have conquered the Stone Dragon Empire long ago.
However, they couldn't hold on any longer. The armies of eight countries finally captured Dragon City.
The final battle took place outside the Fierce Tiger Gorge. Countless armies killed each other. The intensity of the battle paled in comparison to the Desolate Country's attack on the Stone Dragon Empire.
It was said that the battle lasted for a day and a night. Blood gathered into a lake and dyed the mountains into a blood island.
The blood-red mist and evil aura hovered above Dragon City for three days and three nights without dissipating.
In that battle, countless warriors and the last army of the Stone Dragon Empire fell. Their mournful cries resounded through the Nine Heavens.
It was also said that the clansmen of the Du Household appeared in the final battle.
The people of the Du Household were guarding the imperial capital, Dragon City, but they were powerless to stop anything. Instead, they lost many people.
Finally, under the escort of several cultivators who were not weak, the Du Palace's clansmen retreated, their whereabouts once again unknown.
Dragon City was finally conquered. Wherever the army passed, they plundered and plundered. It was not unusual for them to burn, kill, and plunder.
This caused the people of the huge Dragon City to panic, and countless people thought of ways to escape.
Some forces immediately attached themselves to the eight countries and helped them commit their crimes.
After that battle, the Stone Dragon Empire truly ceased to exist.
The armies of the eight nations captured the imperial capital, Dragon City. The entire Stone Dragon Empire fell into the hands of the eight nations.
"Our Stone Dragon Empire has existed for thousands of years. Our destiny has finally run out!"
The entire country was occupied. There were old people who cried, and there were young people who clenched their fists.
But all of this was already too late to reverse the situation.
"Where's our Brave God King? Why hasn't he appeared?"
"Why is the Desolate Country not willing to send their troops? If the Desolate Country was willing to send their troops, they would not have to fear the armies of the eight countries."
"Is the Brave God King really that heartless …"
"You don't know. The Brave God King isn't even in the Desolate Country. He doesn't know anything about this!"
"The Brave God King had no interest in the Stone Dragon Empire. He didn't want to become the emperor of the Stone Dragon Empire."
"At least the Desolate Country has been taking in refugees, providing them with food, water, and medicine. They have already taken good care of the Stone Dragon Empire. Countless people have been protected."
Some people cried. The Brave God King, the last hope of the Stone Dragon Empire, did not appear at the last moment. This made people feel sad and resentful.
There were also people who were grateful. After all, the Desolate Country's actions had already spread throughout the Stone Dragon Empire. If it wasn't for the Desolate Country's protection, who knew how many innocent people would have suffered.
The Desolate Country, from the Dark Forest to the edge of the Lanling Prefecture City and even the edge of the Barbaric Beast Mountain Range, was already filled with people.
In two years, countless refugees from the Stone Dragon Empire had flooded in. Countless forces had moved to the Desolate Country, and a new round of city construction had begun.
However, the Stone City had always been closed. Other than the residents of the Stone City, no one was allowed to enter.
However, the surroundings of the Stone City had changed drastically.
The surrounding buildings were tall and connected to the Barbaric Beast Mountain Range. The small Stone City had now become a huge city.
"Destroyed, it's still destroyed. Blood flowed like a river …"
In the main hall of the Du Family, Du Zhixiong and Du Zhenwu's eyes dimmed.
At this moment, the core members of the World Society and the Du Family were in the main hall of the Du Family.
"How are the Old Kings?"
After a while, Du Zhenwu asked Du Yunlong who was in the main hall.
"The Old Kings are seriously injured and are still grieving. If it wasn't for the General and the others who brought them back, I'm afraid the Old Kings would have died for the Stone Dragon Empire."
Du Yunlong said. His eyes were filled with respect for the Old Kings.
The Old Kings had sacrificed themselves for the Stone Dragon Empire. They were so unyielding and loyal that people couldn't help but respect them.
If it wasn't for the General and Gu Xinyan who brought them back to the Desolate Country, the Old Kings would have died.
"Eh …"
In the main hall, Du Xiaoqing was leaning on a chair in the main hall. She suddenly stood up and sat down. Her ethereal eyes rippled a little before a smile appeared on her face.
Beside Du Xiaoqing, a little golden macaque was leaning lazily on a chair. The hair on its head was colorful and the aura it exuded was like a supreme being. Its pale golden eyes looked at the people in the main hall and said, "Du Shaofu is back."
Hearing this, the people in the main hall were shocked. No one doubted the little golden macaque's words. Figures immediately rushed out of the main hall.
"Roar …"
After a while, outside the Du Family, a huge lion demon flapped its wings and flew over.
The young man in the lead was wearing a purple robe and his hair fluttered in the wind.
"The Roc Emperor is back!"
Soon, the entire Stone City was in an uproar. The news of the Roc Emperor's return spread throughout the Desolate Country.
"Destroyed. Is the Stone Dragon Empire finally destroyed …"
In the main hall of the Du Family, Du Shaofu clenched his fists tightly after hearing the news of the Stone Dragon Empire's destruction half a month ago. His eyes were filled with a complicated expression.
In the main hall, Du Yunlong, Du Xiaoman, Mysterious Wyrm King, Mu Mingqing, Third Fatty Wan, Silver-winged Demonic Condor, Solitary Sword King, Li Xue, Murong Youruo, and the others all looked at Du Shaofu, waiting for Du Shaofu to say something.
"Where are Brother Qing Chun and Elder Yi?"
Du Shaofu swept his gaze across the main hall and asked everyone. He didn't see Big Brother Zhen Qingchun or Medicine King Yi Wuming.
"Brother Qing Chun and Yi Wuming are both in seclusion," Du Xiaoqing said to Du Shaofu.
"I'll go check on the Old Kings first. You can all leave."
Du Shaofu didn't say anything and left the main hall.
Murong Youruo and Li Xue glanced at each other as they watched Du Shaofu leave. They understood each other's intentions and left the main hall.
"It's about time. Let's start the arrangements."
Murong Youruo said to Li Xue as she looked up at the sky in the corridor.
"Sister Youruo, do you really want to do this?"
Li Xue looked at Murong Youruo worriedly and said, "What if the President …"
"Someone has to bear the responsibility. Someone has to do something. That person is me."
Murong Youruo interrupted Li Xue and smiled, "You know what we're doing the most, so you should know that we have to do this. You have to help look after him in the future."
Li Xue didn't say anything else. She nodded and left.
…
The Old Kings were arranged to stay in a side courtyard of the Du family. When Du Shaofu appeared in the side courtyard, he saw the generals, Gu Xinyan, Guo Shaofeng, Wu Que, Ghost Child, Ouyang Shuang, and the others who were waiting for the Old Kings.
They had just heard the news of Du Shaofu's return from the Du family's disciples.
Therefore, when they saw Du Shaofu, the generals were not surprised. Instead, they all looked happy.
"The Old Kings are grieving. We couldn't stop worrying, so we had to keep watching. Perhaps they will listen to you."
Gu Xinyan said to Du Shaofu. In her beautiful eyes, the light fluctuated slightly, causing ripples in the hearts of those who looked at it.
"It's good that you're back. My grandfather and the others won't listen to us." Ouyang Shuang frowned slightly and said to Du Shaofu.
"I'll go check on the Old Kings."
Du Shaofu nodded and took a deep breath. There seemed to be a complicated look in his eyes. Then, he walked into the hall.
In the side courtyard, the North Vanquishing Prince, the South Vanquishing Prince, the East Vanquishing Prince, and the West Vanquishing Prince were all there.
There were also Ouyang Ling and some other Kings and Generals. There were more than 20 people.
They were the last remaining powerhouses of the Stone Dragon Empire.
Seeing Du Shaofu, Yuan Shanshan greeted him. She was like a loving mother, carefully sizing up Du Shaofu. "Shaofu, you're finally back. I heard that you've been meditating in the Ancient Heaven Sect."
"Aunt Shan, Uncle Ling." Du Shaofu smiled at Yuan Shanshan and Ouyang Ling. Then, his eyes swept across the hall.
"Shaofu, you're back."
Everyone in the hall stood up. The North Vanquishing Prince, the South Vanquishing Prince, and the East Vanquishing Prince stepped forward. The grief on their pale faces couldn't be concealed. Their eyes were bloodshot.
They hadn't changed out of their armor. It was stained with blood, and their hair was slightly messy.
"Grandpa Xie, greetings to the Old Kings."
Du Shaofu bowed. Looking at the North Vanquishing Prince and the others, he could clearly understand how the Stone Dragon Empire was destroyed. These Old Kings who were loyal to the Stone Dragon Empire were heartbroken.
"If back then …"
Du Shaofu muttered to himself. Guilt rose in his heart. He even found it difficult to face the Old King who had protected him back then.
