Chapter 368 – These eyes have only looked upon my own woman!
If someone else had said such a thing, they might still dismiss it.
But Wei Zhuang’s unhidden killing intent was enough to terrify even without a sword in hand.
The person speaking broke into a cold sweat right then.
“Stop!”
The Grand Priestess, holding her staff, stepped forward from behind the Loulan crowd.
She spoke to that person, “You step back!”
The man cautiously attempted to step back, but the sword on his neck felt as though it were glued there.
With each step he took back, the sword moved forward slightly.
After several steps, the distance had not changed at all.
Seeing this, the Grand Priestess became displeased and said, “Put down the sword; this is not your Central Plains.”
Wei Zhuang shot her a cold glance, his expression unchanged, and replied, “So what? If you keep talking, I’ll kill you first.”
This Grand Priestess was undoubtedly stunning.
But in Wei Zhuang’s eyes, she was merely a pretty skeleton.
Even the Shark Tooth Sword in his hand was more captivating.
He never showed any compassion for beautiful things.
The Grand Priestess was unfazed by the threat.
“You dare!”
The only response she received was a sword!
The Shark Tooth cut through the air with a cold glint, aiming directly for the Grand Priestess’s snowy white neck.
He vowed to behead her in public.
The Grand Priestess didn’t even have time to react before the sword was already before her.
“Stop.”
Just as the blade was a mere 0.01 centimeters from her neck, Li Mo’s calm voice finally echoed through.
Wei Zhuang’s arm instantly froze in mid-air like an unmovable steel rod.
The Shark Tooth Sword, aimed at the Grand Priestess, also came to a halt.
It seemed he had anticipated that Li Mo would call for him to stop and had prepared in advance.
“Grand Priestess, you know better than your people what is going on underground. Without my troops here, relying solely on your people, just facing Donghuang Taiyi would be beyond your capacity.”
Li Mo approached with Fei Yan’s assistance, directly stating the critical issue.
Loulan had suffered a significant defeat in its previous battle with the Chiyou Tribe, and if it weren’t for the Chiyou Tribe leader wanting to avoid further escalation, they would have been wiped out long ago.
Now, Loulan might very well have turned into a dead city.
Not a single one of these golden-armored soldiers would survive.
How could they stand toe-to-toe with Wei Zhuang like this?
The Grand Priestess had already realized this as well.
Though there weren’t many of them, the strength they displayed was absolutely something Loulan could not contend with.
“Let them take over here; you all should retreat and rest.”
The Grand Priestess had the sense to know the situation.
The temple had been destroyed, and it wasn’t the first time Li Mo and the others entered the forbidden ground.
If they argued with them now out of stubbornness, it would certainly be themselves who would suffer.
Furthermore, although Li Mo’s group also came from the Central Plains, had they not arrived, Loulan would likely have already perished at the hands of the Chiyou Tribe.
For both emotional and logical reasons, she shouldn’t quarrel with them at this time.
“Understood.”
With her words, the golden-armored soldiers obediently retreated.
“You should know who saved you.”
Wei Zhuang expressionlessly sheathed his sword, his demeanor unchanged.
What reason is there to reason with unreasonable people?
The person with the bigger fist is the one who has the reason.
He had no interest in engaging in a verbal dispute with them.
When problems can be solved with a sword, there’s no need for pointless chatter.
Look at the effect; isn’t it immediate?
The Grand Priestess showed a hint of apology on her face and said to Li Mo’s group, “I apologize, everyone; it was disrespectful of Loulan.”
Setting aside the fact that Fei Yan saved her before this, if Li Mo hadn’t led his men here, Loulan would have truly been overrun by the Chiyou Tribe.
Li Mo waved his hand and said, “No need for apologies; it’s getting late. Grand Priestess, find a place for us to rest. The bronze giant door in the underground won’t open so quickly.
After traveling continuously for so many days and experiencing several sandstorms, we haven’t had a bath yet.
Although at our level we don’t get dirty, enjoying a hot bath is still a pleasure.
If we could soak in hot water and have a bowl of hot soup in this oasis of the desert, it would be the fastest way to restore our energy.
Hearing this, the Grand Priestess immediately ordered preparations to be made.
Although the temple was destroyed, several side halls remained.
Tian Ze and Wei Zhuang followed Li Mo to the men’s bathing area.
The Grand Priestess personally led Fei Yan and a few other women to her living quarters.
Li Mo comfortably lay in the bath tub, the hot water relaxing his muscles, and he instantly felt incredibly refreshed.
“Ah~ so nice!”
Removing the towel from his face, Li Mo let out a satisfied sigh.
Tian Ze, who was rubbing his chest muscles, glanced over at Wei Zhuang, who had his eyes closed in the bath barrel on Li Mo’s other side.
He said, “We’re all here to take a bath; isn’t it a problem that there are no guards in that area?”
Wei Zhuang was tight-lipped, showing no intention of answering.
After all, it was Li Mo who called him here; it wouldn’t be his business if anything went wrong.
Li Mo took off the gauze from his eyes, putting it in the bath barrel to wash, and replied, “There are plenty of guards, no worries.
In fact, even though he was in this palace, he could constantly be aware of what was happening over there.
This Loulan City, claimed to be a nation, was still not as large as Xi’an City.
Once he fully opened his perception, he could take in most of Loulan in his mind.
Upon hearing this, Tian Ze no longer asked further questions.
Instead, he curiously observed Li Mo’s tightly closed eyes.
It was the first time he had seen Li Mo remove the eye gauze and couldn’t help but ask, “What happened to your eyes?”
When he first met Li Mo, he was as skeptical as others, wondering if Li Mo was truly blind.
How could a blind person move with fewer obstacles than an ordinary person?
Li Mo casually replied, “It’s a natural condition.”
He wouldn’t share that he had traveled from the future, not even with Fei Yan or Jing Ni, so he just made up a reason to brush it off.
Tian Ze pondered for a moment before nodding, looking at Li Mo’s eyes, seemingly hesitating to speak.
Li Mo twisted the gauze in the water and said, “If you have something to say, just say it.”
Upon hearing this, Tian Ze abandoned his politeness and directly said, “Open your eyes and let me see?”
As soon as he said this, Wei Zhuang, who had been pretending to be asleep with his eyes closed, opened his eyes and turned to look at Li Mo.
It turned out that he was also curious.
But not much could pique his curiosity.
And Li Mo’s eyes just happened to be one of those rare things.
Li Mo paused in his action of twisting the gauze.
Not many had seen his eyes.
Only those women he had been associated with had ever seen the true appearance of his eyes.
Because they initially didn’t believe it.
After seeing them, they all fell silent.
Would I be idle enough to pretend to be blind for no reason?
Li Mo suddenly laughed and said, “Do you think I’m faking blindness?”
Tian Ze and Wei Zhuang exchanged glances, and while they didn’t speak, their answer was unspoken.
Li Mo shook his head in silence and said, “Then I’ll let you see once.”
After saying this, he slowly opened his eyes.
