Honghuang: Starting with double pupils, he became a disciple of Jiejiao Yunxiao!

Chapter 62: Lonely City, the last of the seven kings.

Hearing Shi Chen’s affirmative answer, the old man showed joy on his face.

But soon, he restrained his joy.

He waved his hand, signaling the children to retreat.

It can be clearly seen that on his broken arm, there is a terrible law of power that is constantly eroding him.

But the old man’s face did not show any pain.

It’s as if he has gotten used to everything.

“You… are not a True Immortal, how did you get in?”

The old man’s voice was very hoarse, as if he hadn’t spoken to anyone for many years.

As he spoke, two beams of light flew out of the old man’s eyes, and at the same time, a broken bronze battle axe appeared in his hand.

Although the battle axe was broken, dark red bloodstains could still be seen on the axe blade.

I don’t know how many powerful beings this battle axe has killed.

The old man’s words also let Shi Chen know that below the True Immortal, it is impossible to enter this place.

To put it bluntly, this is a battlefield to deal with those above the True Immortal.

This is similar to what Shi Chen had guessed before. The reason why the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths can be stable until now is largely because this original imperial city has blocked the enemies above the True Immortal.

Only those below the True Immortal will be let go.

After all, there are too few people in this imperial city.

Being able to block those above the True Immortal is already trying its best.

Judging from the old man’s actions, even if he proved Shi Chen’s identity, he still retained a sense of vigilance against him.

Shi Chen was not impatient at all.

If it weren’t for this vigilance, the old man would not have lived to this day

“I came here by using the blood of other tribesmen and performing the blood traction formation.”

Shi Chen said without any reservation.

The old man nodded slightly, but his expression did not relax at all.

“”Fellow tribesmen, stand on that bluestone.”

Following the direction pointed by the old man, Shi Chen could see that there was a bluestone under the city wall, three feet square.

It looked like an ordinary stone, nothing special. Upon hearing this, Shi Chen stepped on it without hesitation.

If he guessed correctly, this bluestone should be some kind of lie detector ritual.

As for harming himself?

Are you kidding? Shi Chen has so many treasures on him, is he still afraid that the other party will harm him secretly?

The bluestone instantly emitted an extremely bright light.

Then, a ball of flame rose from the bluestone and enveloped Shi Chen.

This flame is the same as the flame that Shi Chen had seen along the way to burn the true immortal.

If it were an ordinary person, I’m afraid… will avoid it at the first opportunity.

But Shi Chen’s expression was normal, allowing the flame to hit him.

It swept across Shi Chen’s whole body, not even sparing his soul.

But the flame was blocked at Shi Chen’s brow.

The sword mark of the Qingping Sword naturally would not allow others to run wild on its own territory.

Fortunately, Shi Chen controlled the sword mark in time and released the restriction.

Otherwise, this fire would really have no way to check his soul.

If it were someone else, Shi Chen would not be so confident in letting others search his soul.

But Shi Chen trusted this old man very much.

The fire did not hurt Shi Chen, but made the rune flame on his forehead more intense, as if it was resonating with a force.

“It’s not a powerful creature from a foreign land pretending to be someone else.”

The old man nodded, feeling relieved.

This stone can test whether someone is a real member of the Stone Clan!

After all, there are many ways to disguise bloodlines in foreign lands.

In the past, people from foreign lands also used this method, causing a lot of losses in the original imperial city.

That’s why there is such a test method.

However, even so, the old man was still not at ease, and continued to speak.

“Please look up.”

The old man continued.

I saw a bone realm on the wall, and at this moment, it shot a ray of light, covering Shi Chen.

Shi Chen’s current treasures are also a sign of his skill and courage.

Since you want to see it, I’ll let you see it, and the main point is to be open and honest.

After a moment, I heard the old man say happily

“He is a tribesman, he didn’t lie!!”

“They came with good intentions!”

The old man was excited, and the other people on the wall also showed joy, and even the children cheered in a low voice.

After so many years, it was the first time they saw foreign tribesmen.

How could they not be excited?

With a flash of divine light, the one-armed old man opened his original defense and appeared in front of Shi Chen.

The old man looked at Shi Chen in front of him, excited and relieved.

After so many years, he finally saw his own people.

“How are the tribesmen outside?”

The old man asked impatiently.

This made Shi Chen’s nose a little sour.

For so many years, they have been fighting alone here.

The first thing he said when he saw the tribesmen was not why there had been no reinforcements for so many years, but to care about how the tribesmen were living now.

This made Shi Chen feel quite uncomfortable.

Looking at the hopeful eyes, he suddenly didn’t want to tell the old man how the tribesmen were living outside.

Shi Chen’s silence gave the old man a bad premonition, and he hurriedly asked

“But what bad things happened?”

Finally, Shi Chen sighed and told the current situation of the Shi Clan.

This kind of thing cannot be concealed.

Otherwise, it would be too unfair to the outside world.

“What?!!”

The old man was furious after hearing Shi Chen’s words.

He never expected that he was still fighting bloody battles, while his people were beaten into so-called sinners.

“Alas, the Stone King and others among the Seven Kings beheaded some important figures in the Nine Heavens, and they were probably misunderstood because of this.”

The old man sighed and said

“Those great men were corrupted by darkness, and Shi Wang and his men had no choice but to kill them.”

The old man told this secret.

“But that’s not right.”

The old man became confused again.

“This matter was not unknown at the time. Many people knew about it. It should not be misunderstood.”

“As I recall, there should be some true immortals still alive in the Ninth Heaven. Didn’t they come forward to explain?”

“In this era, those so-called true immortals have never taken action for the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.”

“Don’t even explain it.”

“The only time he attacked was to deal with me.”

Shi Chen said with a mocking tone.

“Attack you?” the old man said in astonishment.

“who is it?”

“”The Demonic Dragon Sect, or the Sword Valley?” the old man asked.

“Both”

“They are the ones who even slandered us as sinners.”

“Didn’t the true immortals in the Immortal Palace come out to stop them?”

“He was the one who led the charge.”

The old man took a few deep breaths and felt a fire burning in his chest.

He was so angry that he almost roared.

Anyone would be angry about this.

They fought bloody battles here, killing until only the old, weak and sick were left, but the tribesmen in the rear were slandered and harmed, and were called the descendants of sinful blood!

Even those true immortals did not help them clarify the matter, but took the initiative to harm them.

How could he not be angry?

“hateful”

“If the Vermillion Bird King hadn’t died early, given his hot temper, he would have definitely killed them back and crushed them to dust!”

The old man said with deep hatred.

Vermillion Bird King?

Upon hearing this name, Shi Chen was stunned for a moment, then he remembered that this should be the ancestor of the Fire Nation.

It turned out that the Vermillion Bird bloodline that the Fire Nation had always been talking about referred to the Vermillion Bird King, not the Vermillion Bird of the Great Wilderness.

So, Huo Ling’er and Shi Hao were still well-matched old friends?

“How many people are left in the city now?

Shi Chen asked.

He wanted to know what the situation in the imperial city was like now.

The old man smiled bitterly and said

“Not much left”

“Even an old guy like me and a child have climbed up the city wall, how many people can still be there?”

The tone of the one-armed old man was lonely and a little sad.

This is an isolated city without any support.

For an era, it has been fighting alone.

No matter how strong it is, it will be exhausted.

The bloodstains on the city wall are not only from the enemy, but more from their own people.

Looking at the mottled marks, Shi Chen seemed to hear the sound of fighting coming from ancient times.

The old man hesitated for a moment and said

“The king of the city once cut off the head of a great man from the Ninth Heaven, and also let some creatures go to foreign lands.”

“This may be the source of the misunderstanding.”

Shi Chen knew about this.

The Seventh King specially sent some undercover agents there, such as the Cricket Ancestor who played a key role in the future.

However, who would have thought that in this entire era, not a single true immortal was born in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, let alone the Immortal King. They were beaten and huddled in the Imperial Pass, not daring to move rashly.

This also made it impossible for those undercover agents and backup plans to be launched.

Over time, how many of those undercover agents still maintained the idea of being undercover, and how many of them were pretending to be real and really defected to a foreign land?

In this way, the Seventh King’s action of sending people there at the time was more like a traitor.

“That’s not a reason.”

Shi Chen said.

The old man was silent, and the last bit of hope in his heart disappeared.

This can’t be a reason for them to wantonly humiliate our people and persecute them as traitors.

“Now, is there anyone left among the Seven Kings?”

Shi Chen asked his purpose.

The purpose of his coming this time was to find the Seven Kings.

In the original plot, when Shi Hao came, the last of the Seven Kings had fallen.

Now that he has arrived so early, he should be able to see a living one, right?

“There is still one person alive among the seven kings, but his condition is not good.”

“King… he can’t hold on for much longer.”

The old man’s expression was filled with sadness and desolation.

The once huge race had now fallen to such a state.

Too many had died in the battle, and now even the last of the seven kings was about to fall.

Was this their end?

“”Let’s go, let’s go into the city and have a look.”

The old man said.

At this time, the old man had completely let go of his vigilance against Shi Chen and took him into the city.

I saw a faint light flashing on the city gate, and Shi Chen and the other man disappeared on the spot and entered the Primitive Imperial City.

This is actually a detection process.

If there are people with bad intentions, they will be killed by the Primitive Imperial City at this moment.

After so many years, it has been soaked in the blood of countless strong people, making this Primitive Imperial City also have its own spirituality.

In the ancient city, it was as quiet as death.

Only the dirty little face under the eaves on the side was looking at Shi Chen.

In those numb eyes, there was a faint flash of curiosity.

There was no laughter, no breath of life, and the whole city seemed very dull.

After all, for them, life is day after day. How can there be any joy in the battles of the day?

In the distance, there is a huge palace, which is full of light and fire, almost transparent.

Faintly, you can see that there are several tall figures sitting cross-legged in the palace.

The terrible flames are burning on their bodies, burning their true bodies, igniting their bones, and releasing their blood and flesh. The essence flows into this ancient city and becomes the power of this ancient city.

These tall figures are none other than the seven kings who died in the past.

They fought for the nine heavens and ten earths when they were alive.

Even after death, they will use their bodies to continue to provide defense for this imperial city.

How desolate and tragic it is.

The great man who once shook the world ended up like this.

From ancient times to the present, which immortal king can do this?

Shi Chen took out a pill from his arms, handed it to the one-armed old man and said

“This medicine should be able to heal your injuries.”

As soon as the pill was taken out, it exuded a strong medicinal fragrance.

Even a sniff of it would make people feel refreshed.

The one-armed old man even felt that the black fog curse on his wound had subsided a little.

“”I can’t take such a precious thing!”

The old man refused without hesitation.

In his opinion, such a precious elixir should not be wasted on him.

“”Senior, don’t worry, I have plenty of these pills.”

Shi Chen said as he took out another large bottle of pills. The rich scent of the pills immediately spread out, causing many children to stick their heads out and sniff hard.

“smell good”

“What is this smell? It smells so good!”

……

Those children were skinny, short, and had dirt on their faces, but at this moment they showed a rare look of joy.

This made Shi Chen feel very uncomfortable.

It was just the scent of the elixir that made these children look like this. How hard were their lives?

Was it worth it for them to pay such a price?

“Do you have more of these pills?”

The old man said with some difficulty.

“The king is also injured, these pills should help him recover a little.”

Even at this time, the old man did not think of himself.

This made Shi Chen feel even more uncomfortable.

He stuffed the pill into the old man’s hand without saying anything.

“Just take this on your own.”

“Wang, I have a better elixir.”

“Really?”

The old man immediately became excited and took Shi Chen to the city without saying anything.

“This is the king’s habitat.”

Soon, the old man brought Shi Chen to a low mountain.

There was no palace, just a barren mountain with wormwood growing at the foot of the mountain.

The mountain was covered with black bloodstains, withered and lifeless.

If the old man hadn’t told him, no one would have known that the last of the seven kings would be here.

The current situation in Diguan is such that the last of the seven kings rarely takes action unless it is a matter of life and death.

It is too difficult to maintain this isolated city by relying on him alone.

But he must live.

Only if he lives, the city will not be destroyed. Only then can he continue to stand at the forefront.

Many times, he can only watch his people die.

“”Greetings, King!”

The one-armed old man said in an extremely pious voice, paying homage to the short mountain road.

“”Junior Shi Chen, I am honored to meet the ancient ancestor!”

Shi Chen also bowed deeply.

Whether it was out of respect for his ancestors or for the Seventh King, Shi Chen chose to do this.

“I already know why you are here.”

Suddenly, the low mountain emitted a soft light, not dazzling, but very warm.

There was no pressure, nor energy fluctuations, just like an elder reminiscing with a younger generation.

But in this calm, Shi Chen felt a kind of momentum.

A majestic momentum that was unrivaled in the world, and no one could stop it!

“I’m sorry about the people.”

“I didn’t expect the outside world to become like this.”

“If I had known this earlier, I would have gone out and sought justice for my people!”

“But now… my injuries are too severe to leave this city.”

“Feel sorry……”

“It is us who are useless and have harmed you.”

The last of the seven kings said this with a lot of self-blame.

“”Your Majesty!” the one-armed old man said excitedly

“It’s not your fault, Your Majesty. You have done enough. If you were alone, what could those immortal kings from foreign lands do to you?”

“By the way, the pills, this child brought some pills, maybe they can relieve your injuries, Wang!”

……
