Checking in at the Stone Clan's Second Ancestral Land: Vermilion Bird True Feathers +100, Three Great Lords Arrive

Cloud Surging Town. →

It is located in a small town in the Western Frontier the Stone Kingdom.

Although it is just a small town, its population has reached more than 80,000.

Therefore, Cloud Surging Town, with its large population, is also called Cloud Surging City.

Cloud Surging Town originally had only a little over a thousand people, so it was reasonable to call it a town back then.

After Hundred-Year of development, the population of Cloud Surging Town has reached over 80,000.

This was neither accidental nor inevitable; rather, it was because a powerful Guardian Spirit came to Cloud Surging Town a hundred years ago.

Because of the power of this Guardian Spirit, which protects the town, it gradually grew larger.

Moreover, for the past Hundred-Year, the Guardian Spirit have protected this city, and its population has increased from less than a thousand to more than 80,000, and is about to break through 100,000.

Of course, this number is just a drop in the ocean compared to the total population of the entire Stone Kingdom.

The Stone Kingdom is so vast that its territory spans hundreds of millions of miles, and the population of a single king's fiefdom can reach over a billion.

It manages a vast and boundless territory, and simply cannot manage it all.

In fact, the Guardian Spirit of Cloud Surging City is a plant flower whose name no one knows.

Furthermore, the three flowers are all different in color and properties.

Like the Three Lives Flower, one is surrounded by crimson light, one is as white as jade, and one is shrouded in purple mist.

This flowering plant is quite large, located on an earthen hill in the city. Huge, dark green leaves grow on its trunk, and three flowers grow among these giant leaves.

The fragrance is delightful.

And the Stone Clan's Second Ancestral Land is located here. (-_-) (-_-)

The Stone Clan's Second Ancestral Land.

Suddenly, the sky flashed, and a person landed on the ground.

This person was none other than Qian Ye.

I came here just to take this photo.

At a glance, Qian Ye saw that the Stone Clan's Second Ancestral Land was now scorched black, with every inch of soil burned away, houses collapsed, and only a few broken stones and tiles remaining.

It's clear that the fire happened not long ago.

Qian Ye also knew who the arsonist was—it was Shi Hao.

The purpose was to frame their enemy.

This is because it is the Second Ancestral Land of the Stone Clan, the place where the ancestors of the current Stone Emperor who rules the Stone Kingdom once lived.

There are also royal relatives of the Stone Kingdom, all of whom are of the Stone Clan lineage.

The consequences would be unimaginable.

The burning of the Stone Clan's Second Ancestral Land enraged the Stone Emperor and the Stone Clan's kings, nobles, and generals.

After discussion, the Stone Emperor has dispatched three kings to the Western Frontier to find the person involved and resolve the matter.

In reality, they were sent to kill people to uphold national prestige.

The bloody punishment of the Stone Kingdom, the wrath of kings and nobles, caused rivers of blood to flow and corpses to lie for tens of thousands of miles, and no one could stop it.

With three powerful princes arriving this time, bloodshed is inevitable.

Qian Ye looked at the charred Stone Clan's Second Ancestral Land without feeling anything.

"I'm just here to check in; I won't cause trouble, I won't meddle, I won't worry, and I won't cause any problems."

Looking up at the bright sunshine, I thought, "What a beautiful day! But who would have thought that soon, this place would be a mountain of corpses and a river of blood? 🍓 ⋆ 🍦 🎀 🎀 🍦 ⋆ 🍓"

"Ding! Master, congratulations on checking in at the Stone Clan's Second Ancestral Land! Reward: Vermilion Bird True Feather +100!"

The system features a loli voice.

Qian Ye accepted it with a smile. One hundred Vermilion Bird True Feather —that would probably require plucking all the feathers from Vermilion Bird's tail, right?

He smiled, found a wall to sit on and rest for a while, and then went to Cloud Surging City for dinner.

It would be nice to take a stroll around the city, check out some photos, and maybe stay another night.

Ta-da-da~

Just then, footsteps sounded from the path opposite.

Ta-da!

Wow wow wow~

Waaaaah~

Then, amidst the chaotic cries of men, women, and children, and the sounds of weapons and armor clashing, a cacophony of grief erupted.

Qian Ye activated his Divine Eye and took a look. He was surprised to find that he had only come to check in and had unexpectedly run into this situation.

I didn't want to cause trouble, but things didn't go as planned.

"Well, since we're already here, let's make the best of it and see how things go."

"We are innocent!"

No... I don't want to die yet.

"Spare us, sir! The ancestral land was burned; we really didn't do it!"

"My lord, spare our lives! We didn't set fire to our ancestral land! Please release my children!"

"Enough nonsense. Even if you didn't burn down our ancestral land, you're still guilty, and guilty of a capital offense. The Battle King has given instructions: it's better to kill ten thousand innocent people than to let one guilty person go free. So, accept your fate."

"Waaaaah... Battle King... Even the Battle King shouldn't kill innocent people indiscriminately, right?"

"Yes, does that mean the Battle King can indiscriminately kill innocent people?"

"Heh, all of you better behave yourselves. The Battle King can't kill innocent people indiscriminately, but Battle King came with the Stone Emperor's decree. If he says you're guilty, then you're guilty, you're not innocent, and you have to die. Do you understand, you bunch of idiots?"

"You..."

The army leaders who were escorting the prisoners started arguing with the prisoners.

In fact, these people were not criminals, but residents living within a radius of 100 li in the Second Ancestral Land.

Because they were close to the Second Ancestral Land, they were all implicated and brought here to be slaughtered to avenge the burning of the Ancestral Land.

Therefore, even knowing they were innocent, they had to be killed.

Immediately, nearly three thousand people, including men, women, and children, were brought to the central square of the ancestral land.

They all wept bitterly, crying out that they were wronged.

However, the king's orders were ruthless and merciless; a single command could result in certain death. Even if these soldiers knew they were innocent, they dared not disobey the king's orders, otherwise they would be the ones to die.

Buzz buzz buzz~

Suddenly, three dazzling suns appeared above, each radiating Great Dao runes. Then, the three figures appeared and landed before the crowd.

"Greetings, Battle King!"

"Greetings to the two Your Excellencies."

Upon seeing the three men, tens of thousands of soldiers immediately saluted.

The innocent people kneeling on the ground, upon hearing the soldiers' words, immediately looked at the three men, recognizing them as the three kings and marquises sent down by the Stone Emperor to serve this time. The one in the middle, dressed in battle armor, was the Battle King of the Stone Kingdom, second only to the emperor.

"Battle King, spare us! We're all innocent!"

"Spare me... spare my children, just kill me."

"We are all innocent, completely innocent! Why are you killing us? Why?"

"I don't want to die, I don't want to die..."

The innocent prisoners cried and begged for mercy from the Battle King and the two marquises.

However, the three princes remained unmoved. By the time these people were arrested, they were already doomed and had no choice but to accept the outcome.

At this moment, Qian Ye was also observing the three kings and nobles of the Stone Kingdom.

We've only just met, after all, we've only been in Perfect World for a few years, and we've only been to three places: the Martial King's Manor, Stone Village, and the Fire Nation's Palace.

Having never been to the Stone Kingdom palace of the Stone Kingdom, he naturally did not recognize these royal relatives of the Stone Kingdom.

He then glanced at the three suns above the three men's heads. Of course, they weren't real suns; they were just props used by the three kings and nobles to show off.

Qian Ye then smiled.

The three kings and marquises, one of whom was the Battle King, were high above the common people of the Stone Kingdom. They were unapproachable and no one dared to provoke Battle King. With a single word, they could take the Life of hundreds of millions of people on the spot.

But to Qian Ye, the three of them were nothing more than three farts.

He was someone who could instantly kill three kings and marquises hundreds of times over with a single move.

Naturally, the three of them didn't catch his eye.

So I didn't say much and just stayed a bystander.
