Martial Prince's Mansion

The Desolate Region is vast, its territory boundless.

The capital of the Stone Kingdom was a colossal city, magnificent beyond compare, constructed from countless blocks of turquoise Crystal Stone. Its imposing walls resembled a mountain range, and its towering towers stood like a Heavenly Palace, exuding an aura of grandeur.

The city was densely populated, and naturally, it was also heavily guarded. The city walls were inscribed with endless runes, resembling large, rotating stars that shone brightly and exuded a unique aura.

On the towering city walls, squads of soldiers patrolled. They were disciplined, their weapons sharp and gleaming with a cold metallic sheen. A palpable aura of killing intent permeated the air.

Suddenly, a ripple appeared in the space not far from the city wall. Several young men emerged from it.

"Brother Ye Feng, where do you think my grandfather is right now?" Shi Hao looked around at the bustling crowd. He had no memory of his grandfather. He only remembered that his grandfather had gone out to obtain the Treasure Blood needed for his baptism.

"Chirp."

A loud voice rang out from the sky.

A gigantic dragon- Dragon Scale Finch flew towards the city wall. Its swooping descent caused a stir among the soldiers on the wall. They were filled with trepidation and stood ready for battle.

"Shall we attack the city?"

"This ferocious bird is too strong."

"Everyone be careful."

High in the sky, a giant red bird swept across. On its back sat an old man.

The old man was burly, with white, unkempt hair. His beard was the same, showing it hadn't been combed in who knows how many years.

This man must have been very handsome when he was young. Even now, with his stubble and messy hair, he still possesses a unique aura, standing like a king.

Unfortunately, he only had one arm, but carried a large bow on his back. Despite his physical disability, he still appeared incredibly powerful.

The old man controlled the Dragon Scale Finch, landing it in front of the city wall. He patted the massive bird's head and said, "Hahaha, you can go now, lest you frighten my people."

Then he jumped down and walked towards the city gate.

Who is this old man?

The soldiers guarding the city, weapons in hand, questioned the old man.

"Buzz!"

An energy shockwave emanated from the old man's body, overturning many of the city guards around him.

The old man walked step by step to the city's garrison commander and said with a smile, "Oh, isn't this the sixth son of the War Prince's Mansion? You've grown so much. What, don't you recognize your fifteenth grandfather?"

The old man smiled and smiled.

"You are Grandfather Fifteen? You're back?" the general exclaimed in shock.

"Hahaha..."

The old man and the young man walked out of the city gate.

"We're doomed."

The city's garrison commander frowned and said, "The Fifteenth Prince is still alive! The capital is in chaos. Quickly, report this to the Great Demon God; he's returning!"

"Is that your grandfather... Shi Hao...? That old man has an extraordinary aura and looks somewhat like you..." Stone Skin Monkey asked Shi Hao.

"I don't know... I guess so... I was too young when Grandpa went out, so I don't remember what he looked like... Brother Ye Feng, what do we do now?" Shi Hao had no plan in mind, so he could only ask Ye Feng.

"Follow them," Ye Feng said.

Ye Feng followed the old man all the way to a magnificent mansion next to a bustling street.

The mansion occupies a vast area, with auspicious beasts holding copper rings in their mouths atop the Auspicious Beast gate. Two jade-carved Divine Beast flank the gate. The floor is paved with white marble, clearly indicating it is the residence of Royal Marquis.

Above the main gate is a plaque with three large characters written on it: Martial Prince's Mansion!

The prince was given the title "Martial", which is enough to show his bravery, strength and transcendent status.

"Zhongtian, you're back?!"

As soon as the old man arrived at the Martial Prince's Mansion, another old man came out to greet him. The old man clasped his hands in congratulations and said, "This is truly a cause for celebration! Today, the residence will hold a grand celebration."

Shi Zhongtian didn't realize the old man was acting strangely. After all, this was the Martial Prince's Mansion, his own home, so he didn't think much of it. After exchanging a few pleasantries with the white-haired old man, he stepped into the Martial Prince's Mansion.

"And now?" Shi Hao asked.

"Climb over the wall." Ye Feng smiled.

Ye Feng, along with Shi Hao, Stone Skin Monkey, Shi Er Meng, and Shi Qingfeng, did not enter through the main gate of the Martial Prince's Mansion's Martial Prince's Mansion. Instead, they scaled the wall and entered. With a few leaps, they arrived at the top of a relatively tall building. From the top, they could see the old man slowly leading Shi Zhongtian into the Martial Prince's Mansion.

"Zhongtian, let's go check the other plans for tonight... You're finally back, we should definitely celebrate properly."

"There's no need for that. I'll give Hao Er the pure blood of the Pixiu first. It's been many years since I last saw him. I wonder how his cultivation is going."

The old man frowned, watching Shi Zhongtian's retreating figure. He truly didn't know how to explain things to Shi Zhongtian.

Just as the old man was wondering how to delay Shi Zhongtian, the elders of the Martial Prince's Mansion's Mansion, Shi Yuan and Shi Zhonghe, arrived and stopped Shi Zhongtian.

With elders from the Martial Prince's Mansion appearing one after another, Shi Zhongtian finally realized that something was amiss. He had just returned; how could he have alarmed so many elders?

"Fifteen, what happened to your arm?" Shi Yuan asked, continuing to stall for time. He had already sent someone to the Rain King's Mansion to request the Rain King's assistance.

Shi Hao's Supreme Bone was removed, and the whereabouts of Shi Ziling and his wife are unknown. As an elder, Shi Zhongtian, with his Great Demon God nature, is Martial Prince's Mansion Elder believe will definitely turn the Martial Prince's Mansion upside down.

"It's alright, but where are my old brothers?" Shi Zhongtian instinctively asked warily. Those who came out of the Martial Prince's Mansion to "greet" him were all elders with whom he wasn't on good terms. As for the elders with whom he had shared life-and-death experiences, not a single one appeared. "Why haven't they come out to see me? And where are Zi Ling and his wife?"

Shi Zhongtian discovered that not only were his closest sworn brothers absent, but even his son and daughter-in-law were not there.

This is very abnormal.

"They... the couple... went to the Western Frontier."

Some of the elders of the Martial Prince's Mansion answered Shi Zhongtian's questions hesitantly. Shi Zhongtian instinctively sensed that something had changed. He was Great Demon God, not a fool god. He was a demon god, not a fool. Seeing the flickering eyes of some of the previously neutral elders, he knew that something major must have happened at the Martial Prince's Mansion's Mansion while he was away.

This scene was being watched closely by Ye Feng, Shi Hao, and others.

Shi Hao asked, "It looks like a fight is about to break out. Brother Ye Feng, I need to go help."

Ye Feng pulled Shi Hao Shi Hao, reassuring him, and said, "What's the rush? It's not time to show up yet. Just sit down and watch the show. Watching the battle between the older generation of powerhouses will be good for you."
