Chapter 488

As a result, no one expected that one day, Donghuang Taiyi would first defect from the Yin-Yang School, then, in pursuit of power, be miserably possessed by another, and today, he would die, meeting such an end.

Looking at Donghuang Taiyi's miserable state, Lord Lord Yunzhong did not utter words of contempt or mockery as he might have in the past.

After all, when a person dies, it is like a lamp going out!

But in his heart, he still felt some emotion.

The greatest emotion was.

"The era of Donghuang Taiyi has completely passed!"

From now on, there will be no one named Donghuang Taiyi in the world!

The Many Loulan matter was settled.

The aftermath was, of course, not as simple as collecting Donghuang Taiyi's corpse.

Before Su Xuan and the others arrived at Many Loulan, Did Chi You had arrived here first. Without asking questions, he slaughtered the people of Many Loulan and imprisoned the High Priestess. He slaughtered the people of Many Loulan before her eyes in front of the statue of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden, not only wanting the High Priestess to witness how the people of Many Loulan died, but also out of a perverse sense of humor, wanting the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden to witness how the people she cherished withered away. Of course, the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden might not be able to see this; when all is said and done, what existed here was just a stone statue.

After the members of the Yin-Yang School collected Donghuang Taiyi's corpse, following an order from Meng Tian, the three thousand Golden Fire Cavalry quickly took over the entire Many Loulan.

Not to mention that the golden-armored guards of Many Loulan had already been slaughtered by Did Chi You; even if they had not been damaged, they could not have made any waves against the three thousand fire cavalry led by Meng Tian.

One reason was that Many Loulan had closed its doors to the world for many years, and the population of the entire country was not large, with only a few thousand soldiers available.

The second reason was that the guards of Many Loulan had never fought anyone and were lax in combat; how could they compete with the elite Golden Fire Cavalry who had campaigned in the south and north and participated in the Qin war to destroy the six states?

Soon, Su Xuan and the others arrived at the Many Loulan palace and came to the platform.

Seeing the High Priestess imprisoned in a cage, Su Xuan walked over, raised his hand, and formed a blade with his palm.

As the palm blade fell, a crisp sound rang out, and the entire cage shattered into pieces.

The Many Loulan High Priestess was freed.

She dragged her heavily injured and weak body and looked at Su Xuan.

She naturally recognized Su Xuan.

Su Xuan's previous battle with Did Chi You had given her hope. Although there was an accident where Su Xuan was struck by Did Chi You, in the end, Su Xuan defeated Did Chi You.

It could be said that Su Xuan's arrival resolved Many Loulan's crisis.

Looking at Su Xuan, the Many Loulan High Priestess said softly, "Strange Central Plains person, thank you, thank you for saving Many Loulan!"

Su Xuan said calmly, "You don't need to thank me. Saving the world is a duty that we cannot shirk; I am irreconcilable with evil!"

Hearing Su Xuan's words, the Many Loulan High Priestess felt even more moved in her heart. She did not expect this person to be so noble.

She continued, "That may be so, but you ultimately killed that demon and saved our Many Loulan. The thanks that are due must still be given."

As she spoke, she asked Su Xuan about another matter, "That girl earlier, and the giant dragon transformed from the dragon soul..."

After Did Chi You died, she actually wanted to say a few words to Xiao Li.

Unfortunately, Xiao Li did not give her this opportunity and directly let the Pixiu carry her and Su Xuan to the square below.

After that, she only saw Xiao Li riding the dragon and ascending, disappearing without a trace.

Witnessing the departure of Xiao Li and the Pixiu, she felt complex emotions, feeling empty in her heart, as if she had lost something.

"It wouldn't hurt to tell you that the girl was transformed from the tears left behind by the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden and was born to prevent this catastrophe. The giant dragon is called Pixiu, the son of the dragon god Yinglong. It was hidden in the dragon soul and was only able to manifest because it was stimulated by Xiao Li's power!"

"After completing the task, the Pixiu took Xiao Li and left this world together!"

"I see!" Although the High Priestess had some answers in her heart when she heard the conversation between Xiao Li and Did Chi You earlier, knowing the origins of Xiao Li and the dragon soul, she still felt a bit lost when she learned they had left.

After all, the Many Loulan clan had received the order of the Mysterious Maiden and had guarded the seal of the Did Chi You Sword for generations, not daring to have any slack.

In the end, the incarnation of the Mysterious Maiden appeared, and as the current High Priestess of Many Loulan, she did not get to say a single word to the other party; it was ultimately somewhat uncomfortable.

Following this, she heard Su Xuan say, "I forgot to tell you one thing. With the Pixiu ascending and leaving this world, the dragon soul of your Many Loulan no longer exists. After losing the dragon soul, Many Loulan's water source will soon be cut off. If Many Loulan continues to stay here, it won't be long before it perishes due to the lack of water, just like those countries that perished in the desert!"

"What?!"

The High Priestess came to her senses, her expression changing drastically.

She never expected that such a thing was waiting for her.

No wonder her heart felt empty after seeing the Pixiu leave, as if she had lost something; so it was the dragon soul that was lost!

The dragon soul had extraordinary significance for Many Loulan. It was precisely because of the existence of the dragon soul that Many Loulan's water source had not been cut off for two thousand years, and while small countries in the desert perished one after another, Many Loulan had survived for a long time.

Now, although Many Loulan had suffered a great catastrophe and heavy casualties, there were still many survivors.

Now that they had lost the dragon soul, where should these survivors go?

The High Priestess never expected that Many Loulan would lose the dragon soul. The dragon soul was transformed from the Pixiu; it was understandable that the Pixiu left this world after completing its task, but for the people of Many Loulan, losing the dragon soul was equivalent to losing the hope of living.

"Goddess, is this your punishment for us? Punishing us for not guarding the Did Chi You Sword well!"

The High Priestess could not help but whisper to herself in her heart.

This matter made her very uncomfortable.

Su Xuan's voice sounded in her ear again, and she could not help but perk up and listen carefully.

"Therefore, you only have two choices before you now!"

Looking at the Many Loulan High Priestess, Su Xuan said faintly, "The first choice is to lead your people to continue staying in Many Loulan, and then wait for the water source to dry up, for everyone to turn into withered bones, and to perish along with Many Loulan!"

"The second choice is to lead your people to join my Great Qin and become subjects under my Great Qin's rule. My Great Qin's territory is vast, and I don't mind giving you a place to live!"

After hearing Su Xuan's words, the Many Loulan High Priestess was stunned, and then she looked at the Golden Fire Cavalry who had occupied the entire Many Loulan and replaced the original Many Loulan golden-armored guards to guard the entire Many Loulan.

She said softly, "Do I have any other choice?"

"It seems not!"

Su Xuan gave a definite answer.

The Many Loulan High Priestess took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "I need to consider it!"

She was a smart person. After hearing these words from Su Xuan, how could she not know the origins of Su Xuan and the others?

I am afraid that Su Xuan and the others did not come to deal with Did Chi You from the very beginning.

If it were purely to deal with Did Chi You, why would they bring an army, and this army looked like elites at a glance.

I am afraid their goal was Many Loulan!

Just after sending away the demon Did Chi You, another group of invaders came. The Many Loulan High Priestess's mood became very heavy.

However, perhaps because she already knew about the loss of the dragon soul, she was not angry.

In any case, these Central Plains people were much better than Did Chi You, who slaughtered without asking questions; at least they were willing to reason.
