Chapter 355: The Grudge between the Chiyou Tribe and Loulan!
The grayish-yellow sand was like a piece of yellow gauze shrouding the earth.
When the sandstorm came, visibility would be obstructed.
The old soldier in tattered vine armor guarding the city gate glanced at the setting sun in the west, initially wanting to see how much longer until sunset.
But that glance left him frozen in place.
Then, as if seeing something extremely terrifying, the fear in his eyes gradually spread across his cracked face.
His body began to tremble uncontrollably.
“They’ve come, they’ve come again!”
The nearby soldiers heard his incoherent muttering and followed his gaze.
All their faces changed drastically!
“Quickly alert the Grand Priestess, they are here again!”
“Secure the city gates, hurry and close the gates!”
In just a short moment, the area before the city gates became desolate.
The “Three Two Seven” soldiers who were leisurely walking outside moments ago all retreated inside, securely shutting the city gates.
A dark procession slowly approached from a distance.
A black flag fluttered in the wind.
Looking out, there were thousands of people densely packed.
Every soldier riding a camel was clad in black armor!
Among these soldiers, a few figures stood out prominently.
Looking at their attire, they were Central Plains people.
It was the Grand Master of the Yin-Yang School, along with Lord Yunzhong and Lord Xiang!
“These three, this is Loulan,”
one man, appearing to be a leader among the troops, pointed at Loulan and spoke in a rugged voice to the three.
He was the leader of the Chiyou Tribe.
Loulan and the Chiyou Tribe have an irreconcilable grudge.
The Lady of the Nine Heavens was once the guardian of this land.
It was she who created this beautiful world in the desert.
One day, a star fell from the sky.
From then on, floods spread, beasts ran rampant, and people faced the threat of death every day.
Eventually, a courageous warrior named Chiyou appeared; he was strong and fearless, standing against the heavens, safeguarding the rights of people to survive.
The goddess forged an incredibly powerful sword, the Chiyou Sword, for Chiyou using the fallen star.
With this peerless sword, Chiyou quelled disasters and protected this land.
However, the powerful weapon not only granted Chiyou strength but also birthed terrifying ambition within him.
Chiyou became increasingly brutal, wanting everyone to kneel before him.
Ignoring the goddess’s admonitions, Chiyou forged eighty-one bronze giants capable of destroying everything.
Amidst the ruins and slaughter, a miraculous boy survived.
That was the Yellow Emperor.
With the goddess’s guidance and the help of the Divine Dragon, he defeated Chiyou and destroyed his bronze giants.
In the end, only a War Demon God forged from the fallen star remained.
The goddess understood that the immense energy of the fallen star could create life or annihilate all beings, but human greed could never resist the temptation of the heart’s demons.
Thus, the goddess sealed the War Demon God and the Chiyou Sword in Loulan, to be guarded by the people of Loulan for generations.
The descendants of the Chiyou Tribe have always been determined to reclaim the magic sword left by their ancestors and activate the sole remaining War Demon God.
For many years, Loulan has been striving to resist the invasion of the Chiyou Tribe, sending them away empty-handed.
But a few days ago, a group from the Central Plains came directly to find the leader of the Chiyou Tribe.
They claimed to be able to help them reclaim the Chiyou Magic Sword.
Now, with Da Shiming and Lord Yunzhong appearing here, it is obvious that these people appearing with the Chiyou Tribe are
the Wei!
“We will help you breach the city, the Chiyou Magic Sword belongs to you, and the War Demon God belongs to us.”
Metal Elder Lord Yunzhong, clad in a white robe, had a face as dark as charcoal.
Donghuang Taiyi’s order was to assist the Chiyou Tribe in breaking Loulan and obtaining the War Demon God sealed within the city.
“Hahaha, good! As long as we can breach Loulan, I take the sword, and you take the War Demon God!”
The leader of the Chiyou Tribe laughed loudly.
Compared to a sealed War Demon God, the Chiyou Magic Sword, which could control the winds and rains, was naturally far more important.
Legend has it that the War Demon God was personally sealed by the Lady of the Nine Heavens, and no one could unlock it except her.
Even if this War Demon God fell into the hands of these Central Plains people, it would merely be an unusable iron lump!
Being able to use these Central Plains people to break Loulan, he naturally couldn’t ask for more.
“Alright then, Xiangjun, it’s up to you.”
Lord Yunzhong turned his gaze to a middle-aged man beside him.
This man was the Earth Elder of the Yin-Yang School, Xiangjun.
The Yin-Yang School practices the Five Elements Technique, and the five elders are inherently attuned to the Five Elements.
Xiangjun nodded and stepped forward….
The finger techniques in his hand changed continuously.
Suddenly, the ground began to tremble.
As his finger techniques transformed, the trembling grew more and more pronounced.
Countless grains of sand began to gather, as if they had come to life, rushing toward Loulan below.
“What are they doing?”
A team also appeared on a distant sand dune.
The leading man had white hair and a cold expression.
The one asking this question stood next to him was Tian Ze.
Wei Zhuang and Tian Ze were ordered to advance to Loulan in advance, unexpectedly encountering this scene.
“Attacking the city, can’t you tell?”
Wei Zhuang, cold as an ice block, even in this hot desert, brought a chill to the air.
As his power increased, his personality also became more ruthless.
“Heh, of course I can tell. I’m asking you how they plan to attack the city.”
Tian Ze responded with a cold laugh, unwilling to show weakness.
The Chiyou Tribe had failed to conquer Loulan for hundreds of years, and he didn’t believe these few from the Yin-Yang School could change the situation.
“Every field has its specialty, and the answer will reveal itself.”
Wei Zhuang didn’t want to waste breath explaining to Tian Ze.
At this moment, the countless grains of sand manipulated by Xiangjun had already piled up at the foot of Loulan’s wall.
A long slope connected directly to their troops’ front.
Only then did Tian Ze realize Xiangjun’s intention.
The city walls of Loulan were difficult to climb, but he directly commanded the sand to form a staircase.
With this staircase, the soldiers of the Chiyou Tribe would be able to directly leap over the city walls and rush into the city to fight.
Tian Ze’s eyelids twitched, and he coldly said, “Good tactic!”
On the other side, the leader of the Chiyou Tribe was overjoyed at the sight of the staircase appearing before him.
He drew his curved sword, commanding the soldiers to launch an attack.
Seeing this scene, Tian Ze inquired, “Should we take action?”
Wei Zhuang hesitated for a moment before shaking his head, “Let’s observe the changes.”
Li Mo brought them here to ambush Donghuang Taiyi.
At this moment, only three elders from the Yin-Yang School and the army of the Chiyou Tribe had appeared.
Wei Zhuang was a person who took things seriously—one meant one, and two meant two.
He would not expose his whereabouts just because innocent citizens in the city were at risk from the massacre of the Chiyou Tribe.
The lives and deaths of those people had nothing to do with him.
