Chapter 760

~8 min read 1,459 words

One good and one bad, the two pieces of news made Yu Jun and the group of Shushan people's expressions heavy.

They were called good news and bad news, but strictly speaking, both could be considered bad news.

Did Chi You had already stepped into Loulan one step ahead of them; what kind of good news is that?

Even if they were lucky enough to catch Did Chi You in Loulan, there was a certain possibility that Did Chi You had already found the magic sword sealed in Loulan and regained a portion of his power.

At Shushan, Su Xuan could stand on equal footing with Did Chi You.

Whether Su Xuan could fight Did Chi You again after he had regained part of his power, no one could say for sure.

In Yu Jun's initial conception, the most perfect situation was that they would find Loulan one step ahead of Did Chi You before he regained his power, and wait here for Did Chi You's arrival, and then annihilate Did Chi You.

But things did not go as well as he thought.

Did Chi You arrived at Loulan one step ahead.

Thinking of what Su Xuan said, that Did Chi You had only arrived at Loulan not long ago, Yu Jun could not help but feel some resentment in his heart. He wanted to resent Su Xuan, such as Su Xuan delaying time, going to Xianyang first, and then deliberately waiting for the completion of the sand ships.

If it weren't for these things wasting time, how could they have fallen behind Did Chi You and arrived at Loulan late?

But when the words reached his lips, he could not say them.

After all, Su Xuan also had good intentions, and if it weren't for the sand ships built by the Mohist School, relying solely on their Shushan people, even if they had arrived in the desert one step ahead, their speed would not have been so fast, and it was even possible that they would have been lost in the desert and died there.

He even thought of Su Xuan finding the withered fish and defeating the guardians of Loulan.

It can be said that without Su Xuan's help, even if he knew the location of Loulan from the classics, it would not have been so easy to find Loulan. Not to mention anything else, just those two huge sand snakes earlier, without the help of the Fusang Divine Tree, would have been enough for him to handle.

He might not necessarily be able to beat those two sand snakes.

Or rather, without a way to deal with the sand snakes' ability to be reborn, he would have been unable to shake off their entanglement at all.

Although the battle between Su Xuan and the sand snakes ended very quickly, Yu Jun was, after all, an old Jianghu hand, and he had the corresponding eye for it.

"Now we can only hope that there is still room for salvage!"

Yu Jun sighed.

Compared to blaming others, he still hoped to do his own job well and be able to stop Did Chi You.

And after all, he had no confidence to blame Su Xuan at all.

Su Xuan's willingness to help their Shi Lan tribe deal with Did Chi You's matter could already be considered an extra favor; he could have just ignored everything.

After all, the matter of Yu Yuan had nothing to do with Su Xuan from the beginning.

Even if Donghuang Taiyi was a traitor to the Yin-Yang School, even without Su Xuan ascending Shushan, would Donghuang Taiyi have given up coveting Yu Yuan? This is impossible!

The sand ships stopped in the desert. After leaving a few people to guard the sand ships, Su Xuan and Meng Tian, as well as the Golden Fire Cavalry, all came into the desert.

Su Xuan came to the side of the whirlpool surrounded by withered fish and released his divine sense to probe the reality of the whirlpool.

Then he said to everyone: "Below the whirlpool is an underground karst cave space. As expected, it should be the passage to Loulan!"

While speaking, he took the lead and jumped down.

Watching Su Xuan take the initiative to jump into the whirlpool and his figure disappear into the whirlpool, the people of the Yin-Yang School did not hesitate and followed in Su Xuan's footsteps, jumping into it.

Afterward, the people of Shushan, and the Six-Fingered Black Hero and Jing Ke of the Mohist School also followed suit and jumped into the whirlpool.

Meng Tian and the Golden Fire Cavalry under his command watched Su Xuan and the others jump into the whirlpool one after another and enter the entrance of Loulan, looking at each other in dismay for a while.

For the soldiers, whether it was the withered fish, the sand snakes, or this unique entrance, they were all things they had never seen before.

However, their mission this time was to obtain the ancient war weapon, the Soldier Demon God, for His Majesty the Emperor. Even if there were a mountain of blades and a sea of fire ahead, they must accomplish this.

"The whole army, line up and jump in order!"

Meng Tian gave an order, and then many Golden Fire Cavalry followed Su Xuan and the others' example and jumped toward the whirlpool.

Loulan is a small state that exists in the desert. Its existence is not even known to the various states in the Western Regions.

The reason is that this country is hidden in a mysterious oasis, and on the edge of the oasis, there is a barrier that has existed since ancient times.

The existence of the barrier restricts outsiders from breaking into Loulan, and at the same time, prevents the people of Loulan from going out.

Of course, it is not that there is no way to go out, but for the people of Loulan, there is no need to go out.

After all, outside is a vast desert; what is there to do by going out?

Staying honestly in the oasis, such a life, could not be more comfortable.

Under such a state of isolation from the world, the ancient Loulan Kingdom lasted for a full two thousand years.

In two thousand years of time, their heritage has never been broken. It must be said that this is a miracle.

Of course, what is more worthy of being called a miracle is that for two thousand years, the oasis where Loulan is located has always existed.

It must be known that two thousand years of time is enough to turn the sea into mulberry fields, but the water source of this oasis has always existed, and the existence of the water source maintains the prosperity of the oasis.

It must be known that although there is a barrier that isolates the location of Loulan from the outside world, outside is a vast desert.

After two thousand years, located in the very center of the desert, yet having an endless water source and an eternal oasis, this in itself is an unreasonable thing, which is why it can be called a miracle.

And the one who created this miracle with one hand originated from the things left by the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden and the Dragon God.

In the past, the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden personally set up a barrier here.

Loulan was born from this, and even though the years outside have changed, Loulan has always existed here, unaffected by the outside world.

The Dragon God left behind an object called the "Dragon Soul." The Dragon God is embedded on the statue of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden, and the divine power is endless. For two thousand years, with the help of the True Dragon's power to move clouds and rain, it has continuously created water sources for Loulan. It is also under the nourishment of this water source that the oasis where Loulan is located has become more and more lush.

Although limited by the fact that Loulan's territory is not large and its population is not many.

But for Loulan, they are able to have their current life, all relying on the grace of the Mysterious Maiden.

Because of this, their worship of the Mysterious Maiden and their faith in the Dragon God have reached a point that can be called crazy. In order to complete the mission entrusted by the Mysterious Maiden and guard the things that exist in Loulan, they can even offer their own lives.

Unfortunately, in the end, even if they offered their own lives, they were ultimately unable to guard certain things well.

Disaster, suddenly descended! Chuan
