“How many people are left in the city?” Only after a long time had passed did Shi Hao ask this.

“Not many, some clans already completely wiped out, some clans only having some sickly elders. The strong have pretty much all fallen in battle.” The single-armed elder said with a sigh, carrying dejection and sorrow.

This was a lonely city, one that received no assistance, standing at the very forefront. Even if the experts in the city were as common as clouds, they still couldn’t withstand this type of exhaustion.

As he looked at the city walls, at the mottled traces, Shi Hao seemed to have heard shouts of war. He could vaguely make out the scenes he saw on the black ancient ship.

Many people were guarding the city, the most powerful naturally Desolate Border’s Seven Kings. However, there were too many enemies, not withdrawing after endless battles, blood soaking this place red.

Later on, the women, children, and even elders ascended the city, protecting it together, participating in the blood-soaked great battle.

“The disaster of the past, are they going to continue now?” Shi Hao said to himself. He was indignant over his clan’s affairs. They were fighting bloodily at the forefront, yet the people in the back were put to the blade.

“The Nine Heavens have problems. Even if those two or three true immortals are dying, they shouldn’t have not expressed anything even now.” The single-armed elder released a light sigh.

They actually didn’t stand out for Stone Clan, Fire Clan, and the others, instead slandering them. The single-armed elder was furious.

“Apart from this, there are some matters that might also be the source of the misunderstanding. Back then, the city’s kings had taken the heads of great ones from the Nine Heavens, and previously let some people go back to the foreign realm.” The elder suddenly spoke of some past events.

Let some go back to the foreign realm?

Shi Hao immediately thought of many things. Why was this?

Was there a mole? Insincerely defecting to the other side?

However, the single-armed elder didn’t say too much, only lightly sighing. There were definitely some hidden secrets.

“Regardless, there are people in the Nine Heavens side who know the entire truth, yet they actually ignored the humiliation dealt to my clan. This is extremely bad!” The elder said coldly.

Shi Hao thought to himself for a bit. He felt like the Nine Heavens were a mess, some things not things he could understand.

“After all these years passed, have you all defended this city bitterly alone?” Shi Hao asked again. This wasn’t worth it at all!

“We defend the front, our clansmen spread the branches and scatter the leaves in the back, isn’t this quite good?” The elder laughed, but it made one feel inwardly sore. This bloodline already carried the determination to die while protecting this city.

What about the seven kings? Were there still any of them that were alive? This was something Shi Hao really wanted to know.

The seven great figures’ roars shook the sun and moon, shattered mountains and rivers. They kept the foreign great army in check, truly matchless and incomparable. Could he meet them personally?

In the end, Shi Hao couldn’t hold himself back, asking this.

“There are some who are still alive, but their time is limited. After the others died in battle, they burned their own bones to support this city.” The single-armed elder said with a numbed expression.

There was sorrow in the depths of his eyes, as well as grief. However, his current expression was because just too many have died already, even the seven kings falling one after another, what else could be said?

Burning their own bones to support this city? Shi Hao was confused. He looked below the city wall, at the burning undying bones.

“It is something similar, but the bones below the city walls are those of the enemy, using the city to extract their power. After the seven kings died, they burned their true bodies on their own accord, igniting their precious bones to grant the city energy.” The single-armed elder said.

When Shi Hao heard this, he was greatly moved!

“The foreign side’s undying beings, as well as even higher ancient ancestors and undying kings, if they come knocking on the city walls, would this place be able to hold them back?” Shi Hao asked, inwardly carrying many doubts.

“After all these years have passed, isn’t this city still standing here? This lonely city is still here!” The single-armed elder said with a sigh, but how much misery and sadness was involved in this? Just how many lives were paid to accomplish this?

Shi Hao trembled. Just how did they accomplish this? No matter how much they sacrificed, it should still be extremely difficult to stop the enemy.

“This ancient city has tremendous power, and it can be used to control Heaven Abyss, stop the foreign matchless experts’ steps.” The elder said.

Shi Hao learned a shocking secret. By grasping this city, one could control the power of Heaven Abyss. This was precisely how they stalled the foreign great army.

“What is Heaven Abyss?”

“A sea of natural laws, the power of unmatched judgment! Before cutting off connection with the world, Immortal Domain also helped us arrange some things. However, that type of power is about to run out. Heaven Abyss is related to Immortal Domain, even connected.” The elder directly told him.

Shi Hao trembled inwardly. The things he learned today were all secrets after all.

“Let’s go in the city so you can take a look.” The single-armed elder said, actually bringing Shi Hao inside the city. He had long lowered his guard. This was the first time someone was brought in after endless time.

Shi Hao had many questions. Even though just now, the elder directly told him some great secrets, he didn’t have time to ask things in detail yet.

He felt like there were many things on the elder’s mind, as if he was trying to make choices, having some things to say.

“Senior, what’s wrong?” Shi Hao asked.

“The great decisive battle is about to arrive. This lonely city, this deathly still ancient land, perhaps it might reach its end, cease to exist.” The elder released a light sigh.

“What?!” Shi Hao was shocked. THe great decisive battle was arriving?

This was definitely a huge deal! However, did New Imperial Pass’ people know about this?

“We had a premonition for some time already. Just today, there might be undying beings knocking on our doors. They might really start to attack the Nine Heavens Ten Earths!” The single-armed elder said.

At this time, the city gate flashed with light. The two individuals disappeared from their original location, directly entering the city.

While entering the city, the city was like a giant soul body, examining him, confirming that there was nothing wrong, and only then did they appear in the city.

Inside the ancient city, it was extremely quiet, extremely spacious. Several elders were leading ragged-clothed children, all of them sizing up Shi Hao.

Of course, there were others, but compared to this grand giant city, the number of people were negligible, too few in number.

After experiencing the flames of war, the past ancient city of glory was about to collapse. There were dried bloodstains on the ground. The streets, buildings, and other things were all incredibly ancient.

As they proceeded, Shi Hao saw some women, as well as a few even younger children. Their faces were all dirty, extremely nervous as they looked at Shi Hao.

There were no cheers of joy or smiles, the atmosphere in the city heavy and oppressive!

“The inauspicious previously urged some foreign experts, its source rumored to be in the innermost depths of the foreign side! However, there are some who do not believe this to be the case.” Along the way, the elder talked to Shi Hao, telling him some old things.

Even the things he randomly talked about were serious information for Shi Hao!

“That is...” Shi Hao stared into the distance. There was a giant palace, the entire building covered in overflowing fiery light, almost transparent.

One could vaguely see several kings seated there, burning their true selves, their bones burning, flesh releasing spiritual essence, supporting this city.

“After falling in battle, they still continue to protect this place.” The elder said extremely calmly.

However, Shi Hao knew just how much grieving, helplessness, and sorrow there was behind this. These were world-shocking great figures, yet their ends were so miserable.

Not far out, there were people sobbing. These were children, skinny, their figures not tall, faces full of dirt. They shed tears in front of that palace.

The children were crying, extremely sad. It made others also feel extremely bad.

“The descendants of the seven kings, they are now all extremely pitiful.” The single-armed elder released a light sigh.

Was this type of price they paid worth it?

However, the ancestors gave the order to protect this place to the death, for them not to shrink back. They had to stay with this city, die with it.

“I hope you can bring these children with you!” The single-armed elder said. He wished to go against his ancestor’s orders, to make an exception, let these children live.

“Mom, where’s dad? When is he coming back?” Not far out, a four or five year old child wearing tattered beast skin clothes asked.

“He’ll come back when you grow up.” That woman’s eyes carried tears, consoling her child like this.

“What about eldest brother, second brother, third brother and the others? Why haven’t they returned yet?” The small child asked.

That woman couldn’t hold back, really wishing to cry. She already lost her husband and three children. When she was asked like this, she felt as if a knife was being twisted in her heart.

“Grandma, when can I see dad? Also, uncles, big brothers, they have been gone for a long time too, not coming back after so long. Also, I’ve never met grandpa.” Not far out, a small girl in the corner timidly asked an old woman.

The old woman’s body was shriveled, face full of wrinkles. She didn’t say anything, only reaching out a rough hand, gently stroking the little girl’s dirty cheeks.

“Bring all of the women and children, let the children leave for a better place!” Shi Hao said, greatly shaken up, feeling absolutely terrible.

It was because these were the things most commonly seen throughout the city, yet there was so much sadness and grief.

Shi Hao’s mind was heavy. After entering this ancient Imperial Pass lonely city, he learned a lot about the truth. He found it hard to smile, feeling extremely downcast.

This was especially when the great decisive battle was about to arrive! The decision of fate, what will it really be like? Everything here might reach its end.
