"Yeah, that's not right."
"There's something fishy going on here."
"Is Du Shaofu really that strong? I heard that Yuan Shihu has reached the Xiantian stage, could it be that Du Shaofu has already …"
Many of the Du family members heard this and immediately reacted. Then, many of them looked stunned. Defeating Yuan Shihu in two moves was definitely not something an ordinary Xiantian stage cultivator could do.
In the study, Du Zhenwu sat upright and looked at Du Shaofu who had just walked in. He gestured for him to sit aside and said, "Shaofu, regarding yesterday's matter, I want to ask your opinion."
"That Yuan Shihu scolded me, so I beat him up. That's all." Du Shaofu replied. In front of his uncle, he was much more well-behaved.
"So what if Yuan Shihu beat him up? It's no big deal. Our Du family isn't afraid of the Yuan family. We won't bully others, but we definitely won't lose out either. Don't you agree?" Du Zhenwu rolled his eyes at Du Shaofu. He felt that in these ten years, he really didn't understand this nephew of his.
"Yes, uncle is right. I definitely won't let others bully me in the future." Du Shaofu smiled.
"Alright, there are no outsiders here. Tell me about yesterday's matter." Du Zhenwu glared at Du Shaofu, his expression turning serious.
"Actually, I don't know what happened, but I feel that the Ye family came yesterday, and the Yuan family came today. Things are a little strange." Du Shaofu hesitated for a moment, then said to Du Zhenwu.
Du Zhenwu's eyes revealed a look of surprise, and he said to Du Shaofu, "Tell me, how is it strange?"
"The Ye family was too friendly. Although that Ye Zijin is young, she's obviously a cold and arrogant girl, but she was overly friendly to me. On the other hand, the Si family was too pretentious. They said that they were here to cause trouble, but in the end, they left after making a few noises. It was obvious that they weren't really here to cause trouble. Also, that Chuo Long shouldn't be simple. Even if the other members of the Chuo Clan didn't think of it, I believe that Chuo Long must have known. Although I injured Chuo Hu, we are still juniors. The Chuo Clan came looking for trouble in such a grandiose manner, but they still came. Even if they came, it was just for show.
Du Shaofu paused for a moment. His eyes flickered as he looked at Du Zhenwu and said, "There must be something wrong when things are out of the ordinary. Therefore, these things don't seem normal."
Hearing Du Shaofu's words, Du Zhenwu's eyes flickered. Suppressing the astonishment in his heart, he continued to ask Du Shaofu, "Good boy, it seems that I have indeed underestimated you. Tell me, why did you fight yesterday? Was it just because Chi Hu scolded you?"
"Hehe."
Du Shaofu smiled and said, "That girl from the Ye Clan was too enthusiastic about me. I didn't want to disappoint her enthusiasm, so I decided to be a little more high-profile."
"That girl is not simple at such a young age."
Du Zhenwu said softly. Then, he looked at Du Shaofu and said softly, "Things are indeed not simple. The Stone City has been peaceful for so long. I'm afraid that it is about to change. The Ye Clan is already the first to lose control. Do you want to know why?"
"I'm a little curious." Although Du Shaofu was a little confused, he was also quite curious.
Du Zhenwu continued to ask Du Shaofu, "The Stone City is on the edge of the Barbarian Beast Mountain Range. There are many demonic beasts in the Barbarian Beast Mountain Range, and there are many kings among them. However, no demonic beast experts have ever invaded the Stone City. Even in the previous beast tide, no demonic beast entered the Stone City. Do you know why?"
Du Shaofu shook his head. During the two beast tides a while ago, the ground shook and everything was destroyed. However, there really weren't any demonic beasts that entered the stone city.
"Because the Stone City has a demonic beast guarding it." Du Zhenwu said. When he mentioned the demonic beast, his eyes changed.
"A demonic beast guarding the Stone City?" Du Shaofu also heard about this for the first time.
"In these years, the kings of the demonic beasts in the Barbarian Beast Mountain Range did not dare to set foot in the Stone City. The forces outside the Stone City that wanted to touch the Stone City did not dare to act rashly. Everything is because of the demonic beast guarding the Stone City. It is a Thunder Lion that is rumored to have reached the level of a Beast Lord."
At the mention of the Thunder Demonic Lion that guarded the stone city, Du Zhenwu's eyes also rippled with yearning. The level of a Beast Marquis was equivalent to the level of a human Martial Marquis. That level, to him, was also an existence that was unattainable.
"The level of a Beast Lord!"
Du Shaofu's eyes suddenly lit up. The level of a Beast Lord was even higher than the level of a Spiritual Pulse. A demonic beast that was even stronger than a King Scaled Demonic Tiger was extremely powerful. There was actually such a terrifying existence in the Stone City.
"It is said that a few hundred years ago, an ancestor of the Ye Clan accidentally saved an injured Thunder Lion. From then on, the Thunder Lion stayed in the Ye Clan and stayed in the Stone City. It also intimidated the demonic beasts at the edge of the Barbarian Beast Mountain Range. For many generations, the Ye Clan has been sitting in the Stone City and became the City Lord." Du Zhenwu said.
"I see." Du Shaofu roughly understood. With such a strong demonic beast in the Ye Clan, how could the other clans resist?
Du Zhenwu sighed and said: "It is a pity that the Thunder Lion is already old and has not been able to improve in terms of cultivation. Its lifespan is nearing its end and it seems that it has not recovered from its injuries. This is also the reason why it has been staying in the Ye Clan. Now that it is old and weak, in addition to its injuries, its aura is declining day by day. There is news that the Thunder Lion may die soon."
"There will be a day when the Marquis level beasts reach the end of their lifespan."
Du Shaofu sighed in his heart. There will be a day when the Marquis level beasts reach the end of their lifespan. The lifespan of humans is shorter than that of demonic beasts. Comparing a Marquis level cultivator to a Marquis level cultivator, the Marquis level cultivator would definitely have a longer lifespan. If you want to go against the heavens and seize life, you have to continuously break through the shackles. Unfortunately, on the path of cultivation, every breakthrough is extremely difficult. The higher the level, the harder it is to reach the heavens.
"For a Demonic Beast at the Beast Marquis level, especially a Demonic Beast like the Lightning Demonic Lion, the bones within its body are priceless treasures. Its essence blood is also priceless treasures. Once it dies, it will be enough to change the weather in the stone city. Over the years, countless gazes have been fixed on the Ye family and the Lightning Demonic Lion." Du Zhenwu's eyes trembled. For existences at the level of Beast Marquis, their bones and blood essence were enough to cause people to go crazy over them. All these years, those clans had been preparing and waiting. If anyone could obtain the treasures left behind by the Thunder Lion King, the benefits would be unimaginable.
"Once the Thunder Lion dies, I'm afraid the Ye Clan will not be able to hold on. The Tai Clan, the Bai Clan, the Qin Clan and the other clans will definitely not let go of such an opportunity." Du Shaofu was shocked. Thinking back to the battle between the Purple Flame Demonic Phoenix and the Golden Roc, the Sky Snake Sect, the Mysterious Underworld Sect and the Mysterious Talisman Sect all participated in the battle. This time, if the Thunder Lion died, how could the other clans in the Stone City let go of such an opportunity? The Ye Clan would definitely not be able to take all the benefits for themselves.
"That's right, the Ye Clan also knows that once something happens to the Thunder Lion, the Ye Clan will not be able to hold on to the benefits left behind by the Thunder Lion. Therefore, the Ye Clan is probing to see who exactly wants to fight for it." Du Zhenwu said.
Du Shaofu frowned and said, "I understand now. No wonder the Ye Clan is so friendly towards me. They want to pull the Du Clan to their side and then find out who wants to deal with the Ye Clan the most. The Ye Clan has already started to make arrangements."
Du Zhenwu looked at Du Shaofu, his eyes filled with shock again, and said, "That's right, the Ye Clan has already started to make arrangements. Last time, when Ye Baolin came, he had already secretly sent a message to me, saying that he wants to join hands with the Du Clan. When the time comes, he will not forget about the benefits of the Thunder Lion."
"Uncle agreed?" Du Shaofu raised his head and asked.
"Can we not agree?" Du Zhenwu's mouth curved into a bitter smile.
"The Ye Clan's methods are indeed brilliant."
Du Shaofu knew that the Du Clan had no choice but to agree. If the Du Clan did not agree, it would be the same as telling the Ye Clan that the Du Clan also wanted to deal with the Ye Clan. But now that the Du Clan and the Ye Clan were so close, the other three clans would definitely be wary of the Du Clan.
"One month from now, the younger generation of the five great clans will compete. At that time, the situation might change, and my Du Clan will probably be unable to stay out of it. We've already been dragged into this vortex." Du Zhenwu sighed, and his face was filled with worry.
"Uncle, what does this have to do with the competition between the younger generation of the five clans?" Du Shaofu did not quite understand.
"The Ye Clan has been sitting in the Stone City for many generations, but outside the Stone City, there are many forces that have always wanted to touch the Stone City. Therefore, the Ye Clan cannot fight alone. Although we have the Thunder Lion, the other clans will naturally have complaints."
Du Zhenwu explained, "Therefore, since a long time ago, the Ye Clan has arranged for the competition between the younger generation of the various clans once every few years. The strongest one will be able to enter the Lightning Pool to cultivate. At that time, only the four great clans participated, and my Du Clan only had the qualifications to participate more than ten years ago."
With regards to this, Du Shaofu was not unfamiliar. It was said that although the Du Clan had always been in the Stone City, their official rise began more than ten years ago, and they had not been in the five great clans for long. As for the Lightning Pool, he had never heard of it before. Curiously, he asked, "What is the Lightning Pool?"
Du Zhenwu said, "The Lightning Pool is owned by the Ye Clan. It is said that it can only be opened once every few years. There is a small amount of the Thunder Lion's blood essence inside. Cultivating in the Lightning Pool will allow you to obtain lightning to forge your body, which is very beneficial to your cultivation. If you can cultivate in the Lightning Pool, your future will be limitless. In the past few years, every time the younger generation of the major clans competed against each other, the winner would always be the Ye Clan. Hence, the Ye Clan's strength has always been stronger than the other clans. It's a pity that our Du Clan hasn't risen for a long time, so no one from our Du Clan has entered the Lightning Pool yet. "
Hearing this, Du Shaofu's eyes flickered. Lightning Body Refinement. He had practiced the cultivation method of the Golden Roc. If he added this Lightning Body Refinement, would the effects be even better? Maybe there would be other benefits. After all, the Lightning Lion was a terrifying existence at the level of a Beast Lord.
