Chapter 54: The Secret of Shicheng
Chapter 54: The Secret of Stone City.
"Yes, this is not right."
“There’s something tricky here.”
"Is Du Shaofu really so strong? I heard that the tiger has reached the innate realm. Could it be that Du Shaofu has already..."
Many people from the Du family reacted immediately after hearing this, and then many people were shocked. It was definitely not something that ordinary innate realm practitioners could do.
In the study room, Du Zhenwu sat upright, looked at Du Shaofu who was walking in, signaling him to sit aside, and said, "Shaofu, I want to ask you what you think about yesterday."
"When the tiger scolded me, I beat him up, that's all." Du Shaofu replied. There were a lot of rules in front of his uncle.
"Then I will beat you up if you beat me. It's no big deal. My Du family is not afraid of the Bing family. We don't bully people, but we will never suffer any losses, right?" Du Zhenwu gave Du Shaofu a blank look. He felt that he had really misunderstood his nephew in the past ten years.
"Yes, uncle is right. I will definitely not let others bully you in the future." Du Shaofu said with a smile.
"Okay, there are no outsiders here. Let me talk about what happened yesterday." Du Zhenwu glared at Du Shaofu, with a more serious expression.
"Actually, I don't know what happened, but I feel that the Ye family came to the door yesterday and the Feng family came to the door today, and things were a little abnormal." Du Shaofu hesitated for a moment and said to Du Zhenwu.
Du Zhenwu showed an unexpected look in his eyes and said to Du Shaofu: "Tell me, why is it abnormal?"
"The Ye family is too enthusiastic. Although Ye Zijin is not old, she is obviously a cold and arrogant woman, but she is too enthusiastic to me. The Ye family is too artificial and said that she is coming to make trouble, but she left after a few yells. It is obvious that she is not really coming to make trouble. And the Ye Long should not be simple. Even if the others in the Ye family didn't expect, I believe that the Ye Long must know that although I hurt the Ye Tiger, we are all juniors after all. The Ye family came to the door to make trouble, and they lost the Ye family's face. But they still came, and they just acted like acting when they came."
Du Shaofu paused for a moment, his eyes moved slightly, and he looked at Du Zhenwu and said, "If something goes wrong, there will be a demon, so these things seem to be abnormal."
Du Zhenwu listened to Du Shaofu's words, his eyes fluctuated secretly. He suppressed the surprise in his heart and continued to ask Du Shaofu: "Good boy, it seems that I really underestimated you. Tell me why I had to do something yesterday? Did that tiger scold you?"
"hey-hey."
Du Shaofu smiled slightly and said, "The girl from the Ye family is so enthusiastic about me. I'm always embarrassed to let her down, so just be more high-profile."
"That girl is not easy at such a young age."
Du Zhenwu said lightly, then looked at Du Shaofu and said lightly: "Things are indeed not simple. Shicheng has been calm for so long, and it is afraid it will change color. The Ye family is the first to be able to bear it. Do you want to know the reason?"
"Somewhat curious." Although Du Shaofu was a little confused, he was also quite curious.
Du Zhenwu continued to ask Du Shaofu: "The stone city is right next to the Barbarian Beast Mountain Range. There are many monsters in the Barbarian Beast Mountain Range, and there are many kings among them. However, no strong monsters have ever invaded the Stone City. Even the beast tide a while ago, no monsters entered the Stone City. Do you know the reason?"
Du Shaofu shook his head. The two beast tides a while ago were shaking wherever they passed, and everything was destroyed, but no monsters entered the stone city.
"Because the stone city has a guardian monster." Du Zhen's martial arts way, when he mentioned the monster, his eyes also changed.
"The monster that guards the stone city?" This was the first time Du Shaofu heard of this.
"Over the years, the monster kings in the Barbarian Beast Mountains have not dared to set foot in the Stone City, and the forces outside the Stone City who want to get involved in the Stone City dare not move easily. All of this is because of a monster protecting the Stone City, and a thunder demon lion that has long been at the level of beasts."
When talking about the thunder demon lion guarding the stone city, Du Zhenwu's eyes also had ripples in his eyes. The level of the Beast Marquis is equivalent to the rumored strong man in the human Wuhou level. That level is also an unattainable existence for him.
"Beast-like level!"
Du Shaofu's eyes suddenly lit up. The level of beast horoscope is higher than that of the vein spirit level. How powerful is a monster stronger than the Wang Scale Demon Tiger? There is such a terrifying existence in the stone city.
"It is rumored that hundreds of years ago, an ancestor of the Ye family accidentally rescued the injured Thunder Demon Lion. Since then, the Thunder Demon Lion has remained in the Ye family, stayed in the stone city, and shocked the monsters on the edge of the Barbarian Beast Mountains for generations. The Ye family has been using this to hold the stone city and become the lord of a city." Du Zhenwu said.
"So that's it." Du Shaofu roughly understood that the Ye family had such powerful monsters, so how could the major families compete with each other?
Du Zhenwu sighed slightly and said lightly: "It's a pity that the Thunder Demon Lion is old and cannot further his cultivation level. His life span is approaching, and it seems that he still has injuries but has not recovered. This is also the reason why he has been staying in the Ye family. If he is old this year, his health is weak and his injury is getting worse day by day. There is news that maybe the Thunder Demon Lion will die during this period."
"The beast-like level will also have a day when the life span is over."
Du Shaofu sighed in his heart that at the level of beasts, there will be one day when his life span is about to end. Humans are shorter than monsters. Compared with monsters, a strong man at the level of Wuhou and a strong man at the level of beasts, the life span of monsters is definitely much longer. If you want to go against the will of heaven and death, you have to constantly break through the shackles. Unfortunately, every breakthrough in the path of martial arts is extremely difficult, and the higher the level, the more difficult it is to reach the sky.
"The monster beast at the beast level or the monster beasts like the Thunder Demon Lion. The secret bones in the body are heavy treasures, and the essence and blood are also heavy treasures. Once they fall, they will be enough to change the color of the Shicheng Fengyun. Over the years, many people have stared at the Ye family and the thunder demon lion." Du Zhenwu's eyes trembled a little. The existence at the beast level, the secret bones and essence and blood on the body are enough to make people fight wildly. Over the years, those families have been preparing and waiting. If anyone gets the treasure left by the Thunder Demon Lion, the benefits can be imagined.
"Once the Thunder Demon Lion dies, it is afraid that the Ye family will find it difficult to defend it. The families of the Bing family, the Bai family, and the Qin family will never miss that opportunity." Du Shaofu was shocked, thinking that in the Wudu Mountains, the Purple Flame Demon Phoenix and the Golden-winged Roc bird fought, and the giants of the Tianshe Sect, Xuanming Sect, and Xuanfu Sect also fought for it. If the Thunder Demon Lion dies this time, how could the families in the stone city give up that opportunity? The Ye family would definitely not be able to take over the amazing benefits.
"Yes, the Ye family also knows that once the Thunder Demon Lion changes, the Ye family cannot defend the benefits left by the Thunder Demon Lion, so the Ye family is testing the people who want to compete for it." Du Zhenwudao.
Du Shaofu frowned and said, "I understand, no wonder the Ye family is so enthusiastic about me. They want to bring the Du family and then find out the people who want to deal with the Ye family the most. The Ye family is already starting to arrange it."
Du Zhenwu looked at Du Shaofu, and his eyes fluctuated again, saying, "That's right, the Ye family is indeed already making arrangements. Last time Ye Baolin came, he had already sent a message to me and wanted to join forces with my Du family. At that time, there are the benefits of the Thunder Demon Lion, and he will not forget our Du family."
"Did uncle agree?" Du Shaofu asked with his head raised.
"Can we agree?" Du Zhenwu smiled bitterly at the corner of his mouth.
"The Ye family's methods are indeed very clever."
Du Shaofu knew that the Du family had to agree. If the Du family did not agree, it would be tantamount to tell the Ye family that the Du family also wanted to deal with the Ye family, but now that the Du family and the Ye family are approaching at this time, I am afraid that the other three major families will definitely be wary of the Du family.
"A month later, the younger generation of the five major families will compete. At that time, it may be the time when the weather changes color. My Du family will probably be unable to survive and have been dragged into this vortex." Du Zhenwu sighed, his face full of worry.
"Uncle, what does this matter have to do with the competition between the younger generation of the five major families?" Du Shaofu was quite puzzled.
"The Ye family has been living in the Stone City for generations, but there are still many forces outside the Stone City that have always wanted to get involved in the Stone City, so the Ye family cannot compete alone. Although there is a Thunder Demon Lion, other families will naturally have complaints."
Du Zhenwu explained: "So a long time ago, the Ye family arranged a competition between the younger generations of major families that once every few years. The strongest one could enter the Leichi cultivation. At that time, only four major families participated, but my Du family was qualified to participate more than ten years ago."
Du Shaofu is familiar with this. It is said that although the Du family has been living in Shicheng for generations, its official rise began more than ten years ago. It has not been long since it entered the five major families. However, I have never heard of the Thunder Pool before, and asked curiously: "What is the Thunder Pool?"
Du Zhenwu said: "The Thunder Pool is owned by the Ye family. It is rumored that it can be opened once every few years. It contains a small amount of essence and blood of the Thunder Demon Lion. Cultivating in the Thunder Pool can obtain the Thunder Forging body, which is of great benefit to cultivation. If you can enter the Thunder Pool to practice, you will have a bright future. Over the years, every competition between the younger generation of each major family has mainly won the Ye family. Therefore, the Ye family's strength has been stronger than other families. It's a pity that my Du family has not risen for a long time, and no children of the Du family have entered the Thunder Pool."
When Du Shaofu heard this, his eyes fluctuated secretly, and he practiced the Golden-winged Roc bird's cultivation method. If he added this Thunder Body, he would not know if the effect would be better. Perhaps there would be other benefits. The Thunder Demon Lion is a terrifying existence at the level of the beast.
