"The Stone City is fine. No one can be presumptuous in the Desolate Country."
The voice of the Master Apothecary, Yi Wuming, was heard, informing the people of the Stone City to be at ease.
"The Desolate Country has many strong cultivators. Those people are nothing!"
The Stone City was in an uproar. Seeing those arrogant youths, despite their strength, being trampled by the Desolate Country's strong cultivators in an instant, and being killed with a wave of their hand, they were all encouraged and proud.
"Brother Qingchun, should we inform Third Brother?"
Moments later, in the palace, Du Yunlong asked Zhen Qingchun as he looked at the young Legalism men and women who were restrained on the ground.
"No need. Shaofu is in seclusion. The Imperial Palace's Dragon Qi is of great use to him and cannot be disturbed. Perhaps he already knows about this, so there is no need to worry."
Zhen Qingchun said. He was the clearest about the matter between Du Shaofu and Legalism.
Legalism had come time and time again to clamor and bully others. They had gone too far and would not rest until one of them was dead. No matter how strong Legalism was, the Desolate Country was no longer the same as before. They had the Golden-winged Rocs behind them, so Zhen Qingchun was not as worried as before.
Just as Zhen Qingchun had expected, although Du Shaofu was in seclusion in the depths of the Imperial Palace, using the rich Imperial Palace Dragon Qi to cleanse and temper himself, and using the Imperial Palace Dragon Qi to comprehend Heaven and Earth, nothing that happened in the stone city could escape Du Shaofu's prying eyes.
However, Du Shaofu did not appear. Some small figures of Legalism did not need to delay their own cultivation.
The Desolate Country was no longer the same as before, especially the Imperial Palace's Dragon Qi. There were also many talisman matrices set up by him and his brother Zhen Qingchun. Once dozens of killing matrices were activated, even if the Legalism army came to attack, Du Shaofu felt that they could make the Legalism pay an unbearable price.
The commotion in the Stone City was huge, but because it happened in a short period of time, it did not spread too much. After that, it began to calm down.
However, at this moment, there was a vast and isolated area between heaven and earth that was alarmed.
This vast world was a world of its own. It was incomparably vast, and its aura was ancient. Heaven and earth energy overflowed. It was an absolute treasure land.
In a simple courtyard, there were many people sitting in different seats. All of them looked agitated, and some of them were angry and reprimanding.
If Du Shaofu were here, he would be able to recognize some of them.
The people present were all experts of Legalism. Du Shaofu had seen many people who had been forced to dig out their hearts during Legalism.
"Dead. The souls of the three Martial Domain Realm cultivators are gone. They must have been killed by that little bastard. How hateful. Does he really think that my Legalism can tolerate him?!"
An elder was furious. Of the group of people he had sent to the stone city in the outside world, three of their soul imprints had already dissipated, proving that they were already dead.
It wasn't difficult for him to guess that they had all been killed by Du Shaofu.
In the past few years, dozens of people from Legalism had died at the hands of that kid.
Since ancient times, how many years had it been? When had Legalism ever suffered such provocation? How could he not be angry?
"I said before that we should just capture that kid. There's no need to be polite. He dares to kill the juniors of Legalism again and again. This is a provocation. This time, no matter who pleads for mercy, it's useless. We can't tolerate it anymore!"
A middle-aged man was furious. Among the three Martial Domain Realm juniors who had died, one of them was his junior. He couldn't calm his anger. Back then, he didn't agree to send people to inform that little bastard. They should have just captured him. He even felt that there was no need for that little bastard to participate in this grand celebration.
"That lowly bastard has always looked down on us. A lowly bastard outside should be dealt with once and for all."
An elder's eyes were gloomy. He was Qing Yu. At this moment, he could only stand at the back and didn't have the qualifications to sit.
Back then, Qing Yu's leg was chopped off by Du Shaofu. He couldn't recover his broken leg, so he couldn't recover. He had always been limping, so he bore a grudge in his heart.
However, Qing Yu still had lingering fears. Back then, his body and mind had been severely injured outside. He must have been afraid and was almost killed outside. Therefore, he became more and more resentful.
"That little bastard is actually still alive and is getting stronger. I heard that he even became the young clan leader of the Golden-winged Great Peng Bird Clan. I don't know if it's true or not. His wings have already formed. I'm afraid that he will be difficult to deal with. If I had known, I would have killed him completely back then. We wouldn't have had to let our juniors suffer such losses!"
An elder shouted. He was Chen Qiong, who had just reached the Martial Domain Realm.
Back then, Chen Qiong had also gone to the stone city. In the end, he only brought Qing Yu, who had a broken leg, and didn't gain any advantage. He had always had a knot in his heart, causing his cultivation to not improve at all.
"All of you, shut up!"
On the seat of honor, an old man whose eyes had been closed all this time opened his eyes. The light in his eyes was like lightning, and his aura was intimidating. He said, "You keep calling him a bastard bastard. Don't forget, half of his body is my Han Clan's blood. Do you think my Han Clan's blood is so lowly?"
Hearing the old man speak, everyone looked at each other in dismay. Some people trembled inwardly and didn't dare to say anything.
As the old man spoke, several other elders who had their eyes closed all this time opened their eyes. Dazzling light flashed through them.
"Elder, that's not what we meant."
After a while, an extraordinary middle-aged man in long robes spoke up. He looked at the old man with reverence. His eyes shone brightly as he said, "This time, it's the old clan leader's birthday. He has invited people from all over to congratulate him. He will also hold a sermon. When the time comes, he will select some outstanding people to reward. When the time comes, the various clans will send their juniors to congratulate him. The Beast Region, the Yao Region, the Four Seas, and Wutong Mountain will all send people. Above Kyushu, the followers of our Legalism will also be given a quota. However, this time, the old clan leader specifically mentioned Du Shaofu, who we've never seen before. We can't guess his intentions, but presumably, they didn't listen to the warning and were a bit unruly. That's why they brought this disaster upon themselves. However, if the old clan leader wants to see that brat, we still have to bring him back. "
"The old clan leader's birthday is such a grand occasion, yet he allowed that little bastard … … brat to participate. What kind of favor is this? But that brat isn't grateful at all. He even dared to kill a member of our Legalism. This is unforgivable. Otherwise, if word of this spreads, what face will our Legalism have left? After what happened on the Tianhuang Continent, our Legalism has already become a laughingstock. "
He felt that the dignified Legalism couldn't let that brat go.
Not far from the old man, there was another old man. His face was old and his eyes were deep and vast. He said, "He shouldn't be allowed to live, but after all, the blood of our Legalism flows in his veins. That time, he didn't die and miraculously survived. He was able to defeat Dongli Chihuang, who had undergone nirvana in the outside world. Now, he's in control of a region, and he's also related to the Great Golden-Winged Rocs. If we can perform well this time, we can give him a chance to acknowledge his ancestors. That way, when we're outside, we'll have more followers. If anything happens, we'll be able to enter Kyushu faster. We'll also be able to communicate with the Great Golden-Winged Rocs."
Hearing the old man's words, the people around him nodded. Those who were angry and gloomy didn't say anything else.
"I'm afraid it's useless. That brat is too ferocious and unruly. I'm afraid he won't be easily used by us," Chen Qiong said. He had interacted with Du Shaofu before and knew his temper and character well.
The old man who had just spoken frowned slightly. Then, he said calmly, "If he can be used by our Legalism, that would be great. However, let's see how good he is first. If he doesn't live up to his name, then he's not qualified to enter our Legalism. If he really is qualified, his mother is still in the clan and he'll have no choice but to obey."
"It's just a brat. If he really is qualified, we'll persuade him and he'll naturally acknowledge his ancestors. If that doesn't work, we'll let the juniors in the clan step in and let him know what it means to be a dragon among men. Maybe then, he'll directly beg to acknowledge his ancestors."
Not far away, an old man slowly said, "I'm just afraid that if we let that brat come back so openly, that family will most likely be unhappy."
"Everything will depend on that brat's talent. If he's talented enough, we'll be able to establish some relations with the Golden Roc Clan. As for that clan … we'll talk about it when the time comes," the old man who had just spoken continued.
"What do we do now? That kid has killed so many people from our school of Legalism. Are we just going to let him do as he pleases? Also, the remaining juniors have probably ended up in his hands as well," an old man said in displeasure. He wanted to ask for instructions.
"Everything will be decided when the time comes. He's just a brat. Of course he's arrogant. When the time comes, we'll teach him a lesson and make him suffer. In the future, he'll naturally be obedient. The brat only dared to kill three of the people we sent out. This proves that he's afraid in his heart and thinks that he can threaten us."
The old man spoke. His gaze was calm and unwavering. He glanced at the people beside him and said, "Who's willing to go out and bring that brat back? I'm afraid it won't work if your cultivation is too low. That brat is rumored to be extraordinary, and he's also the ruler of the Barren Country. He has the help of the Imperial Qi in the palace. It won't be easy to beat him up. We need to have enough intimidation!"
"I'll go. At the same time, I'll see if he's really qualified. If he's not, then there's no need to bring back our Legalism."
A middle-aged man walked out. He was dressed in tight clothes and had a stocky build. However, his eyes were so deep that the bottom couldn't be seen. There was a faint fluctuation of bright light, and his aura made the space tremble.
"Qin Wei, your Qin Clan was once an emperor in the outside world, so you're familiar with the Imperial Qi. With your cultivation, it's enough. Remember to bring back the rest of our Legalism."
The old man spoke. He didn't say much.
"Yes."
The middle-aged man called Qin Wei nodded. His voice was crisp. He stood up and left.
The elderly man at the head of the table closed his eyes again and didn't say another word.
…
Stone City, after a small disturbance, continued to be calm.
On this day, the sky was slightly bright. The sun rose from the east, dispelling the darkness before dawn.
The Imperial Palace was dazzling. Multicolored light rose, solemn and sacred.
