The ancient city, which had been silent for thousands of years, was recently filled with bursts of laughter and joy.

A few smiles appeared on those faces that were originally numb.

Children chased and played in the city, their laughter echoing through the ancient city like heavenly music.

The elderly sat around the campfire, chatting and laughing, reminiscing about the glorious past.

At that moment, they seemed to forget the war, the suffering, and the hatred.

They have only one identity: members of the Stone Clan.

Three days later, the warm sunlight shone on the mottled walls of the ancient imperial city, adding a touch of life to this ancient city.

The air was filled with the aroma of roasted meat, and the sounds of children playing and laughing filled the air, creating a peaceful scene.

However, beneath this peaceful surface lies a tense undercurrent.

Qin Yuan sat cross-legged in a secluded courtyard, silently circulating his cultivation technique and absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

He has maintained this state ever since the Stone Village people returned.

On the one hand, it is to consolidate one's own cultivation, and on the other hand, it is to remain vigilant at all times in case of unforeseen circumstances.

Suddenly, a powerful aura descended, and Qin Yuan abruptly opened his eyes and looked up.

Stone King walked up to Qin Yuan, looking somewhat tired, and slowly said, "Make preparations, I am about to move the Primordial Imperial City."

Qin Yuan's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly stood up, bowed, and asked respectfully, "May I ask, King Stone, how should we prepare?"

Stone King waved his hand and said, "There's no need to prepare too much. Just inform the people in the city and reassure them. The commotion will be quite significant, so please don't panic."

Qin Yuan accepted the order and immediately used the power of the magic array to spread the Stone King's words throughout the entire ancient city.

A moment later, the figure of the Stone King appeared in the sky above the ancient city.

He slowly raised his hands, and a terrifying surge of magical power instantly swept outwards, as if it would tear the entire world apart.

Beams of divine light descended from his body and merged into the divine city beneath his feet.

The enormous divine city began to shake violently, and countless ancient runes lit up on the city walls, emitting a dazzling light.

The immense power was earth-shattering, almost overturning the entire no-man's-land.

This huge fluctuation was immediately noticed by the people at the Imperial Pass.

On the walls of the Imperial Pass, Elder Meng Tian and a group of cultivators were closely watching the direction of the Primal Imperial City.

Since Qin Yuan brought back the Stone Village people and claimed that the Stone King was still alive, they have been discussing it for several days.

Initially, most people were skeptical of the news that the Stone King was still alive, since it was only Qin Yuan's word and there was no conclusive evidence.

Moreover, even if the Stone King is still alive, his condition after being imprisoned for ten thousand years is still unknown.

However, this earth-shattering surge of power forced them to confront the problem.

"This...this is..."

A cultivator pointed to the towering pillar of energy in the distance and said in a trembling voice.

“It’s the Primordial Imperial City! It…it’s moving!” another cultivator exclaimed.

An ancient city appeared, breaking through the void and slowly approaching the Imperial Pass.

The runes flashing on the city wall were as dazzling as stars, radiating a chilling pressure.

Upon seeing this, the cultivators in the Imperial Pass instantly panicked.

They had previously held onto a sliver of hope, thinking that even if the Stone King were alive, he might not care about what they had done to the Stone Clan.

But now, seeing this imposing primitive imperial city, the fear in their hearts could no longer be suppressed.

They had personally witnessed Qin Yuan using the power of the Imperial City to kill a True Immortal.

Now that the Stone King has personally led the Imperial City here, how can they possibly resist?

"Quickly! Activate the defensive formation!"

Elder Meng Tian made a decisive decision and ordered the activation of the Imperial Pass's defensive formation.

Countless cultivators sprang into action, activating the formations, and beams of light rose up, enveloping the entire Imperial Pass.

The atmosphere at the Imperial Pass was extremely tense.

Everyone was on high alert, preparing for the impending onslaught.

However, to their surprise, the original imperial city did not head towards the Imperial Pass.

Instead, it landed slowly on an open area not far from the Imperial Pass, making a deafening roar.

Dust billowed and the earth trembled, as if a violent earthquake had struck.

The immense impact of the original imperial city's landing far exceeded the expectations of the cultivators at the Imperial Pass.

The terrifying shockwave spread out like ripples, instantly destroying countless arrays surrounding the Imperial Pass.

The sturdy city walls were riddled with cracks, as if they could collapse at any moment.

Many weaker cultivators were directly shaken by the backlash, coughing up blood and turning pale. Some cultivators with lower cultivation levels even fainted.

At this moment, the defense system of the Imperial Pass appeared so fragile and vulnerable.

On the imperial city wall, the Stone King watched this scene with a slight frown. He turned to Qin Yuan, his tone tinged with doubt: "Didn't you notify them when you came?"

The Stone King's gaze swept over the scene of the Imperial Pass being on high alert, and he already understood.

The fact that the Imperial Pass was on high alert clearly indicated that they had not received any prior notice and were treating the Primal Imperial City as an invading enemy.

Qin Yuan chuckled, his tone somewhat nonchalant: "Notify me? I think... I forgot."

He deliberately pretended to be indifferent, as if forgetting to inform the Imperial Pass was just a trivial matter.

Looking at Qin Yuan's appearance, the Stone King sighed helplessly.

He knew that Qin Yuan was doing this on purpose, wanting to take this opportunity to vent his dissatisfaction with the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

After all, the Stone Clan has suffered far too many grievances and injustices over the years.

The Stone King smiled but didn't say anything more.

He understood Qin Yuan's feelings and the resentment in his heart.

Then, the Stone King took a deep breath, took a step, and his figure instantly appeared above the Primal Imperial City.

He slowly raised his hands, and an immense and unparalleled pressure swept out like a tide.

A phantom figure slowly emerged behind the Stone King, like a towering giant, exuding supreme majesty.

A majestic voice instantly resounded throughout the heavens and earth: "I am the Stone King of the Stone Clan!"

"Since the beginning of this era, countless sons of my Stone Clan have died guarding the borderlands and fighting bloody battles in foreign lands!"

"But I never imagined that in this vast land, my Stone Clan would be slandered as a sinful bloodline! I demand an explanation!"

The Stone King's voice boomed like thunder, shaking the entire heavens and earth.

At this moment, countless living beings felt this ancient pressure, and their hearts were filled with awe and fear.
