"I'm sorry for making you all worry."
Du Shaofu said to the gossipy old ladies of the Du Family beside him. At this moment, the noisy voices made his heart feel warm.
"The Roc Emperor is back!"
"The Roc Emperor is back!"
"… … …"
In a short period of time, the entire Stone City trembled. Figures rushed out from the streets and gathered into a dense crowd. They immediately rushed to the Du Family's residence.
The crowd gathered outside the Du Family's residence, but it wasn't noisy. They stood in neat rows.
Not long after, the streets inside and outside of the stone city were packed with figures.
Everyone seemed to be waiting for something. Their gazes fell on Du Shaofu.
Some old people had tears in their eyes, some young men clenched their fists, and some women and children stood quietly.
But at this moment, everyone was strangely quiet.
The strange atmosphere made Jiangchen, the Phantom, the Blood Vine, and the others secretly tremble.
"Shaofu, a total of 398,432 people were slaughtered. Everyone is waiting for your return."
Du Zhixiong's expression turned serious. He looked at the huge stone tablets in front of the tomb and clenched his fists. Lightning flashed in his eyes.
Du Shaofu looked at the citizens of the stone city that had gathered outside the Du Family. Then, he turned around and bowed to the mausoleum. His clear eyes were filled with an intimidating light.
"A debt of blood must be paid in blood. We ask the Roc Emperor to seek justice!"
The Ye Family's Ye Baolin and the Bai Family's Bai Jiru stepped out and bowed with one knee.
They had to guard the Stone City, so they didn't participate in the war between the two countries.
"We ask the Roc Emperor to seek justice. A debt of blood must be paid in blood!"
The entire city knelt down. Their voices were monstrous, reaching the clouds and shaking the nine heavens.
At this moment, everyone's suppressed hatred and anger were released.
Everyone's eyes trembled. Ever since they confirmed that the Roc Emperor was still alive, they had been waiting for the Roc Emperor to return.
The blood debt of the Stone City and the blood debt of the Desolate Country must be avenged!
At this moment, the person they were waiting for had returned. They must seek justice for the tens of thousands of lives that were slaughtered!
Du Shaofu's gaze swept across the familiar figures in front of him. His eyes trembled.
"Shaofu, more than thirty thousand lives. Their blood flowed like a river...... We must avenge this!"
Du Zhixiong's eyes trembled. His eyes were bloodshot, and he clenched his fists so hard that his knuckles cracked.
. child..... They didn't show Mercy... This is blood debt of blood. You must avenge! "
An old man from the Du family's eyes were bloodshot. How could he not take revenge?
"Only by wiping out the Stone Dragon Empire and the Cheng Family can we take our revenge!"
Ye Baolin's robe fluttered. His eyes were red. His voice reverberated in the air above the Stone City.
"Roc Emperor, please seek justice. Blood debt must be paid in blood!"
The entire city shouted in unison. The blood debt of the Stone City, the scene of corpses everywhere and blood flowing like a river, was something no one in the Stone City could forget.
Even the old, the weak, the women, and the children were not spared. How cruel!
Du Shaofu raised his head slightly and clenched his fists.
They didn't spare the old, the weak, the women, and the children. This made Du Shaofu's heart ache. His purple robe fluttered in the absence of wind. A chilling aura surged around him, causing the space of the Stone City to change.
"Blood debt must be paid in blood. Those who offended the Stone City will pay a hundredfold. The fallen citizens of the Desolate Country who laid the foundation!"
His voice was like thunder. Lu Shaoyou roared at the sky with a sorrowful expression.
The rolling sound waves shook the void. Du Shaofu's blood-red eyes were filled with purple-gold lightning. A terrifying aura surged from his body.
"Rumble …"
The stone city trembled as the roar came out. Golden light spread out from Du Shaofu's body. Suddenly, endless golden light spread out from the sky.
Thunderclouds occupied the sky, and arcs of lightning flickered in the sky. Waves of lightning flashed and thunder rumbled in the sky.
The sky changed color and the sky darkened.
"What a strong killing intent!"
Mei Ling's eyes moved. She couldn't help but reveal a look of surprise in her eyes. Just this killing intent alone made her soul tremble.
"He's really angry."
Ouyang Shuang's beautiful eyes trembled. This was the first time she had seen him so angry.
… … …
A moment later, in the main hall of the Du Family, Zhen Qingchun, Du Zhenwu, Du Zhixiong, several elders of the Du Family, Jiangchen, the Blood Vine, Phantom, and Ouyang Shuang were all present.
"After your elder sister, second brother, Little Qing, and Little Tiger came back, the Stone Dragon Empire began to retreat. Although the Great Lun Sect sent their younger disciples to the battlefield, the Ancient Heaven Sect also sent many disciples. In addition, after the return of the General and Gu Xinyan, even the four Kings of the Ghost King Palace, Wu King Palace, Guo King Palace, and Gu King Palace announced their retirement from the war. However, the younger generation is with your elder sister and second brother. "
In the main hall, Du Zhenwu told Du Shaofu about the recent situation between the Desolate Country and the Stone Dragon Empire. He wanted Du Shaofu to know what was going on. Du Zhenwu said, "Many of the Stone Dragon Empire's generals have turned against us. Last night, we received news that the Desolate Country is unimpeded. We have already reached the Tiger Gorge outside the Dragon City. As long as we take the Tiger Gorge, we can reach the Dragon City!"
"The Tiger Gorge."
Du Shaofu's eyes flickered. He knew about the Tiger Gorge.
It was a natural barrier outside the capital of the Stone Dragon Empire. Although the Tiger Gorge was vast, it was extremely dangerous. It was easy to defend and difficult to attack. It was said to be a natural barrier that could protect the capital of the Stone Dragon Empire. It was said that this was one of the main reasons the Stone Dragon Empire built the capital.
"However, it won't be easy to take the Tiger Gorge. The old kings have already retired. Although the Stone Dragon Empire's strength has been greatly reduced, they still have the Great Lun Sect to help them. I heard that the Cheng Family has been hiding a lot of their strength. It's possible that the Cheng Family and the Great Lun Sect want to have a final battle at the Tiger Gorge. With the Great Lun Sect's participation, it's hard to say what the outcome will be."
Du Zhenwu was a little worried. Based on the information he received and his understanding of the outside world, he was no longer the leader of a small family in Stone City.
"The Great Lun Sect is suppressed by the Ancient Heaven Sect. The Stone Dragon Empire is nothing to worry about. I just don't know what the Great Lun Sect is planning to do. If they plan to do something in the Tiger Gorge, it'll be very serious."
Zhen Qingchun was sitting upright on the seat of honor. His wretched eyes were filled with charm.
Zhen Qingchun was a little worried. Although the Stone Dragon Empire was nothing to worry about, the Great Lun Sect was a colossus. They could easily annihilate a country.
If they were to do something in the Tiger Gorge, it would definitely be a tragic blow to the Desolate Country.
"Second Brother, when are they planning to attack the Tiger Gorge?"
Du Shaofu asked. Zhen Qingchun understood what he was worried about.
"Looking at the time, your Second Brother should be planning to attack the Tiger Gorge tomorrow. If they weren't waiting for you, they would've already gone to the Imperial Palace," said Du Zhenwu.
Du Shaofu's eyes were sharp. He knew Du Xiaoqing and Little Tiger's temperament. If they weren't waiting for him, they would've already charged into the Imperial Palace and started a massacre.
The army was facing difficulties, but with Little Green and Little Tiger's current strength, no one in the Stone Dragon Empire could stop them.
"Phantom, Beast Killer, Evil Soul, Blood Vine, follow me to the Tiger Gorge."
Du Shaofu stood up. He was worried about Du Xiaoqing, Big Sister, Second Brother and the others. Besides, there were some debts that he had to settle with his own hands.
"Be careful."
Du Zhenwu, Du Zhixiong and a few elders of the Du family stood up and reminded Du Shaofu.
Du Shaofu nodded and then said to Zhen Qingchun, "Brother Qingchun, I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you for this."
"Since I have nothing to do, I'll accompany you. Who knows, maybe we can meet some old friends from the Great Wheel Sect." Zhen Qingchun smiled and stretched his body.
… … …
At night, the sky was filled with twinkling stars. It was like a milky way made of fine sand, quietly lying in the blue sky.
The bright moon hung high in the sky, illuminating the magnificent Imperial Palace.
"Imperial Father, they should be attacking the Tiger Gorge tomorrow morning!"
Cheng Shengnan, who was dressed in a long dress, gently walked into the majestic hall. Her long dress could not cover her tall and slender legs. Her slim waist outlined a moving arc. Her elegant and noble temperament and invisible aura caused the surrounding Imperial Palace's draconic aura to begin to tremble.
"No, your grandfather shouldn't have gone to the Stone City …"
Emperor Cheng stood still. His originally rather fat body seemed to have lost a lot of weight in the past few months. There were a few more strands of white hair in his hair. He seemed to have aged ten years in just a few months.
Cheng Sheng-nan didn't say anything. Her eyes were unreadable.
"If the kings don't fight, the Cheng Family can't do anything alone. Why did things come to this? Is the Cheng Family really exhausted …"
Emperor Cheng let out a long sigh. His eyes were a little haggard.
In the past few months, he had been thinking about where he had gone wrong. His beloved daughter's status in the Divine Light Court was getting higher and higher. The Stone Dragon Empire should be getting better and better.
But why did the Stone Dragon Empire fall to this state? The kings were avoiding them, many generals were betraying them, and everyone was deserted …
"Tomorrow, I'll do my best to protect the Stone Dragon Empire. We haven't reached the end yet. As long as I'm here, the Stone Dragon Empire will still exist."
Cheng Sheng-nan said and then left the Golden-dragon Palace in a few steps.
