"It's just a small Stone Dragon Empire. We should have destroyed it long ago. If it wasn't for the Munchū wanting me to come, I wouldn't have bothered to come."
The young man's gaze was cold and sinister. His eyes flickered with a hint of arrogance.
The stars in the sky flickered like the ripples in the sea.
There was a boundless mountain range with countless people. Huge cities were built one after another. At this moment, all of them were shrouded in the night sky. It was like a black ancient heavenly serpent coiling across the horizon. It was incomparably majestic and gave people a strong sense of oppression.
The mountain range overlapped with each other and numerous palaces stood tall. It was as if a heavenly palace had descended upon the mortal world.
In one of the tall and majestic palaces, there was a huge shadow of a snake coiling around the palaces, which turned into inscriptions.
"I didn't expect the Sky Snake Sect to participate as well. Could it be that they want to interfere as well? The Cheng Family of the Stone Dragon Empire isn't easy to control. It seems like we have to act quickly," said an old man in the main hall. His body emitted a faint glow and his aura was extremely terrifying.
"Then let's make a move as soon as possible. We have prepared for so long for this step, and we can't allow anyone to beat us to it. We have to make a move before the Sky Snake Sect. If there's nothing else, you can leave first. Pay close attention to Tianwu Academy!"
An old man in his seventies sat in the middle of the main hall. His voice was majestic, as if he could look down on the world and shake the entire Central Region.
"Yes."
In the main hall, everyone stood up. The experts who were famous in the Central Region respectfully left.
"Don't think too much about Tianwu Academy. Even if you obtain that item, so what? At most, you'll have the chance to dominate the Central Region. As long as you listen to our arrangements obediently, the entire Central Region will be yours."
After the figures left the main hall, a strange light spread out from the main hall. The voice was dignified and indifferent.
Within the light, a silhouette stood. It was impossible to see the person's face clearly. The light around him was like a miniature lightning ball. The lightning around him flickered like silver snakes, enveloping his entire being. The pressure was even more terrifying. It was destructive and overbearing, making it so that no one dared to get close. They could only look up.
"Greetings, emissary."
Looking at the person who had come, the old man in his seventies stood up. His attitude was respectful, but his brows were slightly furrowed as he said, "I also want to expand the strength of the temple. At that time, it will be easier for us to find the hidden descendants of the clan that the emissary is looking for."
"Hmph, I hope you're telling the truth. We were able to turn the Divine Light Palace from a second-rate force in the Central Continent to a first-rate force in the Central Continent in just a few decades. We even helped you reach your current level of cultivation. You have to know that we're the ones who gave you all this, so we can take it back at any time." The figure within the lightning ball said indifferently. His terrifying aura fluctuated, causing the entire hall to tremble for no reason.
"Don't worry, Emissary. You have done a great favor for me and the entire Divine Hall. I will definitely have everyone do their best to speed up the search for the descendants of that clan."
When the old man in his seventies heard this, his expression changed slightly. He said, "I heard that emissary is still searching for the imperial palace's dragon qi. The Stone Dragon Empire has existed for thousands of years and the imperial palace's dragon qi is even denser. When the matter with the Tianwu Academy is resolved, I will definitely give the imperial palace's dragon qi to you."
"A wise man submits to circumstances. My support of you back then was not in vain, allowing the Divine Light Palace to reach its current status. The Imperial Palace Dragon Qi is a treasure, and it will be of great use to me when I take it back. If the Imperial Palace Dragon Qi is really rich, I will definitely reward you."
Within the lightning ball, the indifferent and dignified voice chuckled sinisterly. He continued, "If you want to deal with the Tianwu Academy, you have to be careful. The Tianwu Academy wasn't simple back then. Even though they suffered a calamity in the end, they might still have some hidden trump cards. Our identities are extremely sensitive in the outside world and it's not the time to expose ourselves. If we expose ourselves before we achieve great things, it will be inconvenient for us in the future. You have to be careful."
"Thank you for your reminder, Emissary." The old man in his seventies nodded.
"Find the hidden descendants of that clan as soon as possible. We can't delay any longer. Over the years, we have found quite a number of them, but none of them have the rightful owner. We have to speed up the search."
As the indifferent and dignified voice sounded, the silver lightning snake flickered and everything disappeared from the hall.
Looking at the disappearing figure within the lightning ball and silver snake, a trace of coldness flashed through the old man's eyes. A cold glint flickered in his eyes as he muttered, "When I obtain the item from the Tianwu Academy, I will strengthen the Deities Hall. When that time comes, I will no longer be controlled by you …"
… … …
Another day had passed. Early in the morning, the first rays of the morning sun shone across the sky.
As the first ray of sunlight appeared on the eastern horizon, the entire Imperial Capital was in an uproar. Figures began to gather at the central plaza of the Imperial Capital.
Today was the day of the battle between the younger generation of the Stone Dragon Empire and the Tianhu Empire. It was known as the Kingdom War and no one wanted to miss such a grand occasion.
However, the Imperial Palace had already issued a ban. In order to maintain order, no one was allowed to ride on demonic beast mounts or fly. Those who disobeyed would be severely punished.
Thus, early in the morning, figures gathered on the streets and surged towards the central plaza of the Imperial Capital.
At the center of the Imperial Capital, there was a huge plaza. It was surrounded on three sides and could accommodate millions of spectators.
On the fourth side, there was a huge city tower. Standing on the city tower, one could overlook the entire plaza. Usually, this was the place where the Imperial Capital held important events or offered sacrifices.
Although the plaza could accommodate millions of spectators, it was already a terrifying number.
However, compared to the hundreds of millions of people in the entire Imperial Capital, it was extremely small. First come, first served. Those who were late could only wait and watch from the nearby streets. The duel between the younger generation of experts would definitely be held in mid-air. At that time, they would be able to observe the fight from afar.
"Phew …"
Du Shaofu, who had quietly trained for two nights and one day, withdrew the white glow around his body this morning. After spitting out a mouthful of turbid air, he slowly opened his eyes. A powerful aura shook the entire room, causing it to tremble slightly. Immediately, he walked out of the room.
After walking out of the room, Du Shaofu saw Ouyang Shuang, Du Xiaoyao, Du Xiaoqing, Little Tiger, Dark Wolf, and Phantom who were already in the hall.
"Someone from the Imperial Palace is here to bring you to the plaza." Ouyang Shuang said to Du Shaofu.
"Go."
Du Shaofu smiled faintly. A battle between the younger generation of the Stone Dragon Empire and the Tianhu Empire. Du Shaofu naturally did not want to miss such a lively event. Furthermore, the Emperor Cheng had mentioned that he would send someone to bring him to the plaza. Hence, he had already made plans.
After speaking, Du Shaofu looked at Dark Wolf and Phantom. His index finger gently stroked his chin as he smiled and said, "The two of you can accompany me. Bring along a few smart brothers as well. It's the first time the Valor Divine Marquis' residence is going out, we can't be too shabby."
"Yes."
Dark Wolf and Phantom both had the intention to go. Following the Valor Divine Marquis would naturally give them a different treatment. They might even be able to see the famous experts of the Empire up close. Hearing this, the two of them were immediately overjoyed and went to make arrangements.
In a short time, under Dark Wolf's arrangements, seven burly men in brand new armor arrived in the hall. Each of them held their heads high and their chests puffed out.
Among the seven of them, five of them were at the Perfect Pulse Spirit Stage. The remaining two were at the Peak of the Pulse Spirit Stage.
Even though the seven of them were not at the Martial Marquis Realm, they were still considered top figures in the Imperial Capital. Even if they were in the Imperial Palace, they would still be mid-ranked leaders.
However, the seven of them were dressed as guards, which made Du Shaofu stunned. It seemed that although there were not many people left in the Wolf Fang Escort Agency, their overall strength was the most elite.
Du Shaofu felt that it wouldn't be too shabby to bring seven Meridian Spirit Realm guards and two Martial Marquis Realm stewards to the plaza to participate in the competition.
After a while, a flying demonic beast from the Imperial Palace circled outside the Valor Divine Marquis' residence. Everyone leaped onto the flying demonic beast and headed to the plaza.
In mid-air, on the back of the flying demonic beast, Du Shaofu couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air as he looked down at the terrifying number of densely packed figures on the streets of the city.
Du Xiaoqing was rather excited. If not for Du Shaofu holding her back, she would have run down to the crowd below to join in the fun.
After that, Du Shaofu found out the rules of the competition between the two empires from Ouyang Shuang. Each empire would send out five people, and the loser would leave the stage. The winner could continue to fight or take the initiative to leave the stage. In the end, it would be considered a loss until all five people from one of the empires were defeated.
Although it was said that there was an agreement not to take the lives of others on purpose during the competition, there were also rules. If the loser didn't take the initiative to surrender and still fought with his life, then life and death could only be left to fate.
"The rules are simple and neat." Du Shaofu said softly.
When Du Shaofu arrived at the plaza, he was somewhat speechless when he saw the densely packed crowd below.
