Chapter 281 - Intensive Decision
People of all trades could be found in the Capital of Stone Country. The city was incredibly lively.
The grand city was as huge as remains from the divine and demonic times. Beautiful foreign women, mighty demonic birds and vicious beasts were common sights here, especially in a time like this when all kinds of people walked the capital’s streets.
It had been two days since Shi Hao arrived at the Capital. He settled in the city without visiting the Martial Imperial Manor, for he had learnt that his grandfather might have already left.
He was overwhelmed with regret!
Although it was not confirmed by any source, all sorts of rumors had been going around in the Capital. It was no longer a secret, since the Great Demonic God had not been spotted these days.
Rumors had it that the supreme experts of the Demonic Spirit Lake had entered the Capital to ask for an explanation. They even started a fight with the imperial family, which forced the Great Demonic God to leave this city.
The news itself was truly astonishing, but no one could verify it. After all, no cultivators had witnessed the battle.
Another version of the story was that the Archaic Demonic Spider had descended aggressively into the capital and announced that Grandpa Fifteen was its target. The Human Emperor protected Grandpa Fifteen, who then kept a low profile since then, but was still in the Capital.
However, most people were still doubtful and felt that this story was not accurate.
Some said that the Human Emperor told him the whereabouts of Shi Ziling, so Grandpa Fifteen had left the grand city at top speed to find his child.
People found this explanation the most likely one.
“Grandpa!”
Shi Hao clenched his fists. He had no idea whether his grandfather was still here or not. Even if he was here, meeting him like this would probably cause a lot of trouble.
Grandpa Fifteen must have remained hidden recently for a reason. Could it be that the demonic spider was here? He couldn’t help but recall the image he saw in the void passage where a mountain-sized spider was fighting fiercely with someone.
Where did that take place? His heart sank at the thought. It seemed like the archaic Demonic Spider had indeed taken action, only that he did not know who it was fighting against. Was the Human Emperor the one trying to stop it?
Shi Hao could only guess, for everything was uncertain.
He returned to the capital, but the city was just too large. Even after spending two days roving the city, he still only managed to looked around a fourth of the city. For a youngster that grew up in the mountain forests, everything seemed extremely interesting.
Finally, he passed the Martial Imperial Manor. He gazed for a while at the manor from afar, but he did not enter in the end.
“Where is grandpa?” Shi Hao sighed to himself. He had come here full of expectation, but it seemed like he was one step too late. Had he missed the opportunity?
During the next couple of days, Stone Country’s Capital became even more bustling. All kinds of creatures arrived at the grand city, making it all the more boisterous and lively.
The fact that Shi Ziteng was back might not mean much to the others, but Shi Hao was greatly shaken by the news.
Soon, other great forces were shocked as well, for Shi Ziteng did not come back alone. He was accompanied by others, some of whom were exceptionally powerful.
