Chapter 358: The Da Siming Almost Struck by Lightning!
Just as the Chiyou Tribe leader was mesmerized, Lady Ehuang shot him a cold glance.
He instantly felt a chill run down his back and returned to his senses.
Shifting his gaze to the equally captivating Grand Priestess, he chuckled, masking the chill from before: “Haha, I’ve caught you, finally caught you!”
After so many years of fighting with Loulan, he had ultimately emerged victorious.
He had long coveted this Grand Priestess!
“Grand Priestess, as long as you hand over the Chiyou Magic Sword and the War Demon God, I can let you go.”
Both the Chiyou Magic Sword and the War Demon God were vital artifacts protected by Loulan.
Throughout the ages, aside from their Grand Priestess, no one knew where they were hidden or how to activate the War Demon God.
The Grand Priestess was clearly aware of this fact.
Even if she were to die today, she couldn’t allow this secret to be uncovered by them.
With a haughty glare at the leader of the Chiyou Tribe, she disregarded his words.
“If you want to kill me, then do it.”
The Chiyou Tribe leader sneered, “Aren’t you afraid of death?”
The Grand Priestess remained unfazed, “My mission is to guard the Chiyou Magic Sword and the War Demon God. Since becoming Grand Priestess, my life no longer belongs to myself.”
Hearing this, the Chiyou Tribe leader not only didn’t get angry but instead displayed a sickly smile.
“You aren’t afraid of death, but what about them?”
He pointed at the captives outside the hall and waved his arm lightly.
Immediately, a soldier impaled a captive’s chest with a spear.
The Grand Priestess’s expression changed drastically as she realized the intent of the Chiyou Tribe leader.
“You shameless!”
The Chiyou Tribe leader coldly laughed, “Their lives are now in your hands. Whether they can survive or not depends on your words.
As long as you tell us where the Chiyou Magic Sword and the War Demon God are, they can all live. Grand Priestess, even if you don’t fear death, you must consider them, right?”
This was merely a ploy to fool her.
Even if the Grand Priestess told them the whereabouts today, the Chiyou Tribe wouldn’t let them off easily.
Sometimes, living is more terrifying than dying!
“Why bother complicating things? Our Yin-Yang School has a secret technique to search a person’s memories.”
Seeing that another day was about to pass and yet nothing had been found, Lord Yunzhong felt a hint of unease rising in his heart.
The longer the time dragged on, the more unpredictable the situation became.
The War Demon God and the Chiyou Magic Sword were extremely special; even Donghuang Taiyi could not deduce their locations.
Then there was no choice but to ask this Grand Priestess.
But she had made it clear she was prepared to face death and was resistant to both soft and hard tactics.
Then they could only use the Yin-Yang School’s Soul Shifting Technique!
Once they uncovered her secret, whether she lived or died would not matter.
Lord Yunzhong looked at Da Siming and instructed, “Da Siming, you will handle this.”
Da Siming was more than eager to torment the Grand Priestess who had tricked her into the cage, and thus she would not refuse this order.
Immediately, a layer of red light emerged in her hands as she formed hand seals and pointed towards the Grand Priestess’s forehead!
Once the Soul Shifting Technique was activated, all her secrets would be revealed to Da Siming.
Seeing that red hand getting closer to her, a hint of fear finally surfaced in the Grand Priestess’s eyes.
She wasn’t worried for herself; she was concerned that it might turn out just as they had said.
If her secrets were dug up, the entire world would not know peace.
“Stop, stop, you must not! You must not touch the Chiyou Magic Sword, you cannot handle that thing! Stop!”
Of course, Da Siming wouldn’t listen; the more she pleaded for mercy, the more exhilarated she became.
Just as Da Siming’s finger was about to touch the Grand Priestess’s forehead, a crack sounded suddenly from the ceiling.
Da Siming instantly felt the hairs all over her body stand on end and, without a moment’s hesitation, retreated.
At the same time, the roof was split open, creating a large hole.
A blinding bolt of lightning fell straight down like a purple spear, striking the spot where Da Siming had just been standing and creating a massive crater.
“Who dares to disrupt the affairs of my Yin-Yang School?”
Da Siming, still shaken, shouted coldly and looked up at the roof.
“Who goes there?”
Yunzhong and Xiang Jun simultaneously attacked.
Two strands of magical energy shot towards the roof.
However, they were met by two even more powerful blasts of “Dragon’s Energy”!
As the four streams of energy collided, the roof was nearly blasted off.
As the sky was revealed, three figures appeared before them.
The elders of the Yin-Yang School focused their eyes, and their expressions changed drastically.
Especially Yunzhong and Xiang Jun, who had just acted, turned pale with fright.
The once-despairing Grand Priestess brightened at the sight of the newcomers.
There is always a way out!
Although she didn’t know who they were, the enemy of my enemy is my friend!
Loulan was saved!
However, the next words from Yunzhong and the others plunged her back into an icy despair.
“We pay our respects to Lady Dongjun and the Moon Goddess.”
“We were unaware of the arrival of Lady Dongjun and the Protector; please forgive our offense.”
The hierarchy within the Yin-Yang School was extremely strict.
Lady Dongjun’s status was two levels higher than that of the elders; having attacked Lady Dongjun and the Moon Goddess just now was a great disrespect.
The Moon Goddess and Fei Yan floated down from the roof.
The Moon Goddess calmly stated, “Ignorance is no crime.”
Seeing that Fei Yan next to her did not seem to express any reproach either, Yunzhong and Xiang Jun finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Looking at Li Mo, they uncertainly said, “Is this the National Advisor?”
At this time, the only person who could be with Fei Yan and the Moon Goddess was surely the National Advisor of Great Qin.
“We pay our respects to the National Advisor, Lady Dongjun, and the Moon Goddess.”
Da Siming’s previous resentment instantly disappeared into thin air.
If it had been anyone else who had attacked just now, she definitely wouldn’t have let it go so easily.
But these three… she couldn’t provoke any of them!
At this point, the Grand Priestess realized that these people were all in cahoots.
“Donghuang Taiyi truly plays his hand well.”
Li Mo coldly snorted, his expression not looking good.
He knew that old fellow Donghuang Taiyi was up to no good.
Donghuang Taiyi only told him the coordinates of Loulan but did not mention anything about the War Demon God and the Chiyou Magic Sword.
If it weren’t for his own shortcuts, those two items would likely have ended up in Donghuang Taiyi’s hands.
As for the power of the Chiyou Magic Sword and the War Demon God, there was no need to elaborate.
If Donghuang Taiyi got that sword, the threat would be greatly enhanced.
Yunzhong and Xiang Jun also sensed Li Mo’s cold attitude at this moment and understood the reason behind it.
However, now was not the time to turn against each other, especially since the items in those seven copper boxes were still in his possession.
They could only face the situation with a brave front and argue, “Lord Donghuang sent us to clear the obstacles in advance, lest others hinder our great undertaking.”
Hearing this, the Grand Priestess detected something amiss.
These two groups seemed to look like they were on the same side, but there appeared to be conflicts among them.
Moreover, these few people looked particularly respectful towards the young man.
Realizing this, she decided to take a gamble.
She called out loudly, “Nonsense! They intend to seize the Chiyou Magic Sword and the War Demon God!”
