The cultivators of the top forces all retreated from Sky Mountain. There were still countless people at the foot of the mountain, but they were all below the Noble Plane. There were also fewer people from the top forces.
People continued to descend from Sky Mountain. Gradually, those at the foot of the mountain also left. After trying, they understood that even if the bell really rang because of the Great Emperor's summons, they were not fated.
Of course, there were still many people who were reluctant to leave, especially those from the Western Region of the Eastern Barren Territory. This towering Sky Mountain was a holy land of the Western Region.
As time passed, there were some legends at the foot of Sky Mountain. According to the people who came down from Sky Mountain, they could hear the sound of a zither amidst the falling snow. The melody was extremely beautiful. It was the artistic conception of the zither that the Great Emperor had played on Sky Mountain.
There were also people who said that the bell of Sky Mountain and the music of Sky Mountain were because Donghuang the Great missed Emperor Ye Qing, a friend who had been through life and death with him. Therefore, his will traveled across endless space and time to come here, affecting Sky Mountain and causing the bell to ring.
The legend of the two emperors began to spread again. Many people still didn't understand why Emperor Ye Qing suddenly died and why Donghuang the Great ordered the destruction of Emperor Ye Qing's statue. Was it because of the throne?
"What a pity. They were best friends who once traveled the world hand in hand. In the end, they ended up on opposite sides because of power. But even if Emperor Ye Qing failed and perished, Donghuang the Great would probably miss him," someone at the foot of the mountain said.
"I wonder what kind of people the two emperors were. I regret not being born in that era and witnessing their legend," a young man said with a smile. The two emperors unified the world and had been through a lot.
"Of course they are people who care about the world."
Suddenly, a casual voice sounded. The people who were chatting turned around and saw an old man in ragged clothes walking to the side. He still had a wine pot hanging on his body. He walked to the foot of Sky Mountain and stood with his hands behind his back. He looked up at the peak of Sky Mountain. He actually had an extraordinary temperament.
"Why do you say so?" the young man asked with a smile.
"If you don't care about the world, how can you become the ruler of the world?" the old man said indifferently.
"I don't believe it." A young man in blue waved his folding fan and smiled. "The rules of the world are set by the strong. To be able to unify the world, one naturally has absolute power. Caring about the world is too hypocritical. Plus, if that's true, why is Emperor Ye Qing a taboo?"
The old man shook his head with a smile and did not argue with the young man.
"Old man, you're here too. You made it so easy for me to find you." At this moment, a young girl wearing a green dress walked over the white snow. She was extremely happy to see the old man.
"Little girl, our fate has come to an end. You don't have to look for me in the future." The old man smiled and shook his head.
I don't believe you. I'm going to follow you. Don't think you can shake me off. "The young girl said coquettishly," Don't worry, I'll make delicious food for you every day. "
The old man shook his head. "My fifth son's cooking is very delicious. I haven't tasted it in a long time. I'm going back."
The girl's beautiful eyes froze, and then she seemed a little disappointed. "Grandpa, you're going home."
She had always thought that the old man didn't have a home.
"Yes." The old man nodded with a smile.
"Then I'll go to your house as a guest. I can also help you massage your bones," the girl said with a smile.
"My sixth daughter has also grown up. She's very obedient. My second daughter is a little naughty, but it should be fine for her to massage my bones," the old man said with a smile. The girl stared at him. This old man was so fertile? He was already the sixth daughter?
"You're growing so fast. Your second daughter and sixth daughter are definitely not as pretty as me," the girl said with a glare.
"My second daughter is very pretty. No one in the Eastern Barren Territory would say that she's not pretty. My sixth daughter is also much prettier than you." The old man thought of the two girls and smiled.
"Then what are you doing here instead of going home?" The girl pouted, unconvinced.
The old man looked at Sky Mountain and smiled. "I'm waiting for someone I might be waiting for."
This was a bit hard to pronounce. The girl didn't understand. She also looked up at Sky Mountain. Waiting for someone? Could it be someone he was waiting for? Who was it?
The young man beside them had been listening to their conversation. He looked at the old man in shock and couldn't help but say, "This old man is crazy."
The young girl blinked her eyes. These words had hit the bottom of her heart. Today, this old fellow was behaving strangely. What kind of nonsense was he spouting? She didn't know what was wrong with him.
"I …" The old man stared at the young man, dumbfounded. He casually shook his head in frustration. Was he crazy? Young people nowadays.
…
The 10003 year of the Divine Prefecture Calendar was coming to an end. Many major events happened in the Eastern Barren Territory. From the first day of the year, the Qin Dynasty and the Donghua Clan formed a marriage alliance and established the Dongqin College. Gu Dongliu defeated Lu Nantian, and then Ye Futian was assassinated. The Qin Dynasty began to officially embark on the road of revival.
The Eastern Barren Territory was filled with bloodshed this year. The second disciple of the Cottage was strong enough to destroy Qin Yu's prestige. Only then did the Qin Dynasty and the other forces be deterred again. Otherwise, many people in the Eastern Barren Territory would have died.
But everyone in the Eastern Barren Territory felt that this year was destined to not be peaceful. The storm that would sweep through the Eastern Barren Territory would erupt sooner or later. Qin Li's death was definitely the trigger.
Qin Yu returned to the Qin Dynasty and met the king.
At the moment, in the king's pavilion, the king was fishing in front of the lake. After listening to Qin Yu's words quietly, his expression did not change much. In fact, he knew about Qin Li's death earlier than Qin Yu. After all, he was in the Qin Imperial Palace.
On the trip to Sky Mountain, he lost a daughter and a grandson.
Qin Mengruo and Qin Li were different from Qin Yuan. Qin Yuan was the son of his concubine. His talent was actually seduction, which made him lose face. Moreover, he also coveted the throne. It was ridiculous. He only pretended to spoil his youngest son because his beloved concubine was indeed attractive in some aspects. After all, cultivators needed to enjoy some fun occasionally. In fact, among his many children, he disliked Qin Yuan the most. He even hated him.
On the other hand, Qin Mengruo was his youngest daughter, one of the three beauties of the Eastern Barren Territory. He had always spoiled her and let her marry into the Donghua Clan with a purpose. He felt that he owed her.
Qin Li was his favorite grandson.
There was also Qin Ge, who was also very outstanding among his children.
They had all died because of the Cottage.
"The Qin Dynasty has done many things against the Cottage," the king of Qin said. "However, it seems that we have always suffered losses. Now, Mengruo and Li are both dead." His voice was very calm, but there was a trace of coldness in it.
The Qin Dynasty destroying the Liu Kingdom had indeed shocked all the forces in the Eastern Barren Territory. However, they had never gained any advantage against the Cottage.
"The second disciple of the Cottage is somewhat unexpected, but it seems reasonable that she can defeat you. After all, she is ranked above Gu Dongliu. If she also has a Sage ritual implement, she can naturally defeat you. However, I did not expect you to lose so badly." The king of Qin continued, "Of course, you should know that the person we are truly afraid of is never the second disciple of the Cottage or the Sword Saint."
Qin Yu listened quietly beside him. His father had passed the position of crown prince to him. From now on, the Qin Dynasty was in control of the power. His father had stopped managing the Qin Dynasty's matters and left them to him. However, he naturally knew that his father was the true pillar of the Qin Dynasty.
"Many people say that Mr. Du of the Cottage doesn't know how to cultivate. However, how can someone who doesn't know how to cultivate teach such a group of disciples? Moreover, these disciples are so obedient. Do you believe that?" The king of Qin glanced at Qin Yu and shook his head with a smile, as if he was mocking something.
"Moreover, he is a person who is elusive and cannot be found. It's not like we haven't tried all these years. I guess that Mr. Du of the Cottage is not only very powerful but also very good at hiding or disguising. Even if he stands in front of you, you might not know who he is."
The king of Qin sighed. "With such an opponent watching everything in the dark, if he doesn't act, how can I act?"
"But until now, many of our children have died. We haven't even seen Mr. Du's face, let alone probing him. The disciples of the Cottage are already causing us so much trouble." The king of Qin shook his head in self-mockery. "However, there's finally some good news."
"What news?" Qin Yu asked. He didn't see any good news.
"Every time, the Cottage shows unparalleled strength and shocks everyone. The appearance of the Sword Saint, the death of Qin Ge, and the eruption of the second disciple of the Cottage. Every time, the Cottage is telling us not to act rashly. Coincidentally, it also reminds us that the Cottage also has concerns. It seems that Mr. Du is not invincible."
The king of Qin smiled. His eyes were filled with wisdom as if he had seen through everything. He seemed to be very scheming.
Then, he said coldly in a low voice, "Go and invite Clan Leader Hua to the Qin Dynasty. Then, go to the Fuyun Sword Clan and the Royal Xuan Temple. Since you're already on the Qin Dynasty's ship, you still want to fish in troubled waters? Is it possible?!"
There was a cold smile in his eyes. Sometimes, once you made your stand clear, many things were destined to be unchangeable.
The Fuyun Sword Clan and the Royal Xuan Temple had no other choice.
"Okay." Qin Yu's eyes flashed with sharpness. It seemed that his father was really going to act this time.
Even his father probably wouldn't be able to tolerate the deaths of his sister and Li 'er.
"Ye Futian is from the Hundred Lands. According to Qin Li, some of his elders and friends are there. Should we …" Qin Yu's eyes flashed with coldness.
"It's just a small matter." The king of Qin shook his head. "Destroying the Liu Kingdom can prove the dignity of the dynasty. Killing those people is meaningless apart from venting our anger. Since Li 'er was killed by Ye Futian in battle, then kill him. Remember, you will be the king of the Qin Dynasty in the future, the king of the Eastern Barren Territory.
