Chapter 674 Crescent Moon Spring

Surrounded by mountains, a peculiar city is located.

Beyond the mountains, there is yellow sand everywhere. The city is isolated, yet beautiful and rich.

Houses are built densely along the mountain. Outside the city, the fields wind into the distance with no end in sight.

Marble paved the main streets of the city, with branch roads extending to every corner of the city.

In the center of the city is the most sacred temple in the city. A huge statue of the goddess was built in front of the temple, surrounded by a crescent spring pool connected to the underground water system.

However, the water level of this clear Crescent Moon Spring is declining year by year. And cities are also facing a huge crisis.

The high priest of the temple holds a scepter and is surrounded by the most powerful golden-armored guards in the entire city.

A guest appeared in the city today.

"Welcome to Loulan, guest from afar."

The high priest looked very polite when facing this foreign visitor.

In front of him was an old but still very elegant man.

"Tudor met the high priest."

"Our soldiers found you walking alone in the desert and wanted to find Loulan. Can you tell me what exactly was found on you?"

Tudor sighed, his expression gloomy.

"Disaster, a huge disaster!"

As soon as Tudor finished speaking, the female priests in the temple whispered to each other, and the high priest also frowned.

"what's going on?"

"The Qin State in the east occupies all the land, and the Chehou of the empire, Hanyang Jun, is extending his ambitions to the Western Regions. He has conquered one country after another, turning the upright and loyal warriors into his minions. Soon, all the countries on this land will suffer from this disaster. I was also injured at the hands of his minions from the Chiyou clan."

"Chiyou's clan?"

The high priest was wary of this name. In fact, the big reason why the high priest treated him so politely was because he found scars caused by Chi You's technique on his body. Want to find out what happened?

"Zhao Shuang has huge ambitions and intends to conquer various countries in the Western Region, including Loulan."

"What did you say?"

"Zhao Shuang's next target is Loulan."

"Loulan has always been isolated from the outside world. Why does he want to occupy Loulan?"

Tudor shook his head, full of helplessness.

"Because of the Demon God of War!"

Tudor's words put everyone in the palace on guard, and the high priest's face suddenly dropped.

"Why is he hunting you?"

Tudor clearly felt hostility, but he was not afraid.

"because this!"

"Dragon Soul!"

The high priest blurted out, and when he looked at Tudor, he was no longer as wary as before.

"This is what Zhao Shuang wants. My friend entrusted me with it before he died and asked me to take it to Loulan."

Tudor handed the dragon soul to the high priest, who had gratitude in his eyes.

"Thank you, distinguished guest. You saved Loulan!"

"Zhao Shuang has huge ambitions and intends to conquer the entire Western Region. Loulan is just one of the countries. Let alone this rumor, even if there is not, he will lead his evil army. Loulan is still in danger after all."

"Loulan is surrounded by yellow sand, and no army of any kind can be stationed for a long time. Loulan will make this Qin people understand that Loulan cannot be defeated."

The high priest of Loulan is full of confidence, with his scepter on the ground and his long eyebrows showing heroic spirit.

"Inform the soldiers in Loulan to enter a state of combat readiness. Once any army intends to approach Loulan, expel it immediately."

"yes!"

Zhao Shuang rode a camel and walked in the desert with Xiao Li by his side.

Yellow sand is everywhere and the sun is hot. Zhao Shuang took a sip of water and breathed a sigh of relief.

If it weren't for Xiao Li's living guide, there would be almost no chance of traveling through this desert.

"Dragon Soul?"

"Yes, I have been searching for the whereabouts of the dragon soul these years. Until finally, I saw the man named Tuduo kill Old Uncle Lu and take the dragon soul."

"Then why don't you take it back?"

"That Tudor knows the secret technique and can blur my perception. I can feel the dragon soul, and I can also feel that it is in the Yuezhi Royal City. But to find the specific location in a city with a population of hundreds of thousands, almost impossible."

"So you hid with Aaliyah because you wanted to use the power of Queen Yuezhi to find the dragon soul."

Xiao Li glanced at Zhao Shuang and said.

"This is a reason! More importantly, I am waiting for your arrival."

"I?"

"You have inherited an ancient heritage and can suppress Chi You's power. This Tudor has been hiding in the Yuezhi King's City all these years because he knew that even if he captured the dragon soul, he would not be able to control Chi You's power. Until that night, Chi You He has absorbed enough power from his blood, and now he is very dangerous."

"Where is the dragon soul now?"

Just as Zhao Shuang finished speaking, Xiao Li suddenly raised his head and his expression changed.

Xiao Li's words were filled with surprise. The vague feeling in the past became clear again, and she could feel the huge vitality emanating from the dragon soul.

There is only one possibility!

But this possibility made Xiao Li unable to understand.

"The dragon soul has returned to Loulan!"

Zhao Shuang murmured after hearing this.

"Since Tudor got the dragon soul, why did he give it back?"

"You mean Tudor took the initiative to return the dragon soul to Loulan, but why?"

Xiao Li's face was still confused, but Zhao Shuang already understood.

"Of course it's to gain Loulan's trust."

As Zhao Shuang said, Xiao Li fell into deep thought. Soon, Zhao Shuang's words came true.

A camel cavalry team from Loulan, holding long axes, guarded the edge of Loulan's border. When they saw a stranger approaching, they immediately surrounded them.

Xiao Li frowned, but during the process, Zhao Shuang beside him messed up his hair with his hands, rubbed the camel, covered it with mud, and smeared it on his face. It looked like Fugitive.

"Do it with me!"

"oh oh!"

Although he didn't know what Zhao Shuang was going to do, Xiao Li also followed suit.

"Who are you!"

As the camel cavalry approached, the leader asked.

"We are all refugees."

"Escape?"

Xiao Li was confused and turned around in silence, only to see Zhao Shuang crying and cursing.

"Zhao Shuang, this traitor, goes against the grain, acts recklessly, and harms the common people..."

Xiao Li opened his eyes wide and opened his lips slightly in surprise, not believing what he was saying now.

"The Zhao Shuang you are talking about is the Hanyang Lord of Qin?"

"It's this guy! In order to raise military expenses, he enslaved the people. I was a businessman, but he took all my goods. Not only that, he also wanted to conscript me into labor. Even if I die, I will not succumb. Under his lustful power."

Xiao Li saw Zhao Shuang scolding him, with an expression of hatred on his face, as if he was going to eat him alive.

The captain of Loulan's camel soldiers sighed, seeming to sympathize with the tragic experience of the two people in front of him.

"Come with me, I have many things to ask you."

Xiao Li looked at Zhao Shuang blankly and saw a look of suspicion on his face.

"You are not in the same group with that beast Zhao Shuang, are you?"

"How could it be possible? We are Loulan's most loyal and upright guards..."

Xiao Li saw that the Loulan guard, who was originally very wary of them, completely changed at this moment, desperately trying to explain and want to take them back to Loulan.
