Chapter 1673 - 1759: Saintess Awakens
It turns out that the reason Xuan left Su Xuan that day was because her identity as the Saintess was fully awakened. If she didn’t leave Su Xuan, she might have implicated him.Therefore, she followed her father to Miaojiang, and the reason they came here was to summon the Divine Strategy Army to restore the Gu Poison family.
Unexpectedly, upon entering the Great Desert, they realized that this desert was far more complex than imagined. Here, they faced countless hardships, and despite all the ancestral warnings, they still couldn’t find any trace of the Heavenly Gang Tomb Study. In the end, her father was eaten by wolves, and Xuan barely escaped, only to encounter the Pheasant’s men.
"There really is a Divine Strategy Army!
Su Xuan was still very curious, truly surprised that the legendary Divine Strategy Army actually existed.
"I’ve never seen it, but my father mentioned on his deathbed that the Divine Strategy Army does exist. Our Gu Poison family used to be the Guardian of Datang. If Datang was in danger, it was the Saintess of the Gu Poison family who would launch the carrier ships and summon the Divine Strategy Army to protect the Datang World. But later, Datang lost the people’s support, so the Gu Poison family followed the tide of history and did not intervene!"
Xuan explained softly. After Xuan finished speaking, Su Xuan felt a sense of regret. So that’s how it is, the Gu Poison’s predecessor actually controlled the Divine Strategy Army. However, since the Datang emperors became too corrupt, they did not continue.
"So that’s how it is!"
Su Xuan clicked his tongue and suddenly asked.
"Do you know how to get out of here? We are obviously trapped here."
Su Xuan wasn’t concerned about the Divine Strategy Army. What he cared about most was how to leave this place, which was of utmost importance. Su Xuan worried that something might happen outside. When he fell into quicksand, Su Xuan knew the Dragon Gate was about to collapse. But once the Dragon Gate falls, Su Xuan wonders if someone unscrupulous will commit atrocious deeds.
Undoubtedly, there was worry in his heart. Although he uttered something as he fell into quicksand, he was unsure if it had any effect.
"I don’t know either!"
She looked at Su Xuan apologetically. At that moment, she truly felt embarrassed. The Heavenly Gang Tomb is a very complex tomb, and Xuan wasn’t someone who specializes in tomb studies, so naturally, she didn’t know.
"Forget it, let’s find a way out first."
Su Xuan never expected Xuan to be the Saintess of the Gu Poison family. Now, how should he discuss this matter with her? Up to this point, Su Xuan really didn’t know how to ask Xuan for help to save someone because it would be unfair to Xuan.
Before knowing who the Saintess was, Su Xuan imagined if the Saintess really wanted to help him save someone, they might negotiate terms. But he never thought Xuan would be the Saintess. Su Xuan understood that for the Mysterious Lady to save someone, the sacrifice required the Mysterious Lady to merge with the Gu Emperor, and once merged, the Saintess couldn’t engage in any romantic affairs. This was incredibly unfair to her!
He sighed deeply, and now Su Xuan didn’t want to think much. After all, they were still trapped in this tomb, and getting out was uncertain.
"I’ve heard there is an Eternal Life Medicine here. Is this true?"
Su Xuan asked curiously. With the Divine Strategy Army existing, he wondered if the legend of the Eternal Life Medicine was true!
"There’s a possibility it exists!"
"..."
Su Xuan was speechless, thinking this really exists.
"I haven’t read much, don’t trick me!"
Su Xuan said weakly.
"Haha!"
Xuan couldn’t help but laugh, looking at Su Xuan with a smile.
"I’ve seen ancient books left by my family saying it really does exist, but it’s uncertain if it’s true!"
Xuan replied softly, pursing her lips. Despite being trapped here, being with Su Xuan made her feel it was the happiest thing in the world.
Dragon Gate Inn!
Although Di Lingtian didn’t let his subordinates burn, kill, or loot, the people at the Dragon Gate Inn lived very oppressively after Pheasant and Di Lingtian’s men came in.
"Lord Pheasant, why haven’t we eliminated these people yet, even when we already have overwhelming control?"
"Are you stupid? If we destroy them, who will do the hard labor?"
Pheasant really thought it was logical that Di Lingtian couldn’t annex the Dragon Gate Inn even until today. This guy’s brain seemed squeezed by a door, unable to see this.
The sandstorm buried many things, and now Lord Pheasant acted like a boss, remotely commanding these people.
For Lord Pheasant, a more perfect situation was knowing there were archaeologists there. So, Huo Qiyin had been directly conscripted by Lord Pheasant recently to search for the Heavenly Gang Tomb.
"Lord Pheasant, good news, we’ve made a significant discovery!"
At this moment, a warrior quickly ran over and promptly reported.
"What significant discovery!"
Lord Pheasant was very excited. This was definitely truly good news.
"Lord Pheasant, we’ve found a corpse, left since the Datang period. It’s very likely to be from the Divine Strategy Army!"
"Good, great, indeed a case of finding without much effort. By the way, did you contact Lord Iga?"
"Already contacted, the master said a team has been dispatched to come in, and they should arrive at the Dragon Gate by around this time tomorrow!"
"Good, fantastic, once our people arrive here, hmm hmm..."
Deep within Lord Pheasant’s eyes was a hint of killing aura. He didn’t dare kill these people now, largely due to Su Xuan. Su Xuan gave him a terrifying feeling, like a god of death.
Besides Su Xuan, another key reason was the strong cohesiveness that seemed to form under Su Xuan’s guidance. More importantly, the Desert Eagle hasn’t perished this time, thus forming a powerful force watching closely.
Lord Pheasant wasn’t foolish. Overdoing it, these people might unite, and even if they can’t harm him, they might perish together.
Yet, it would be different once his people arrived tomorrow.
