Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 889 New Demon

Tianming was stunned for a moment when he encountered a sudden change. He looked around at his new cage, then immediately held the railings with his hands and howled, "What are you doing!?"

"Why are we locked up? Let us out quickly!"

Shao Yutong also spoke at this time, and asked with hidden anger, "High Priest, I wonder where we have offended Loulan, and we are... treated like prisoners?"

The high priest of Loulan sneered, took a few steps forward, and said, "Do you still want to pretend?"

"What are you pretending to be!?" Shao Yu asked in confusion.

"Hmph!" The high priest snorted again, slammed his scepter on the ground, and said in a positive tone, "You are here for the Ancient Soldier Demon God, right?"

Tian Ming waved his hands in displeasure and shouted, "We are just here to give you something. Who knows what the hell the God of War is!?"

"Good intentions are not rewarded, please let us go quickly!"

"Hmph, you killed the warriors of Loulan and seized the dragon soul, wasn't it just to activate the Demon God of War?" The high priest stubbornly insisted on his opinion, "And you still lied about not knowing?"

Tian Ming felt that he was as unjust as a certain opera character more than a thousand years later. He obviously had good intentions, but went through all kinds of hardships and narrow escapes before sending little Xiu Xiu back, only to end up like this.

"Who harmed Old Man Lu? He was obviously taken away by others, I just didn't have the ability to save him!"

"Are all you Loulan people unreasonable!?"

At this time, the high priest knocked the ground with his scepter, and a circular floor tile next to him slowly rose up, revealing Xiao Li who was imprisoned by iron chains.

She lowered her head and said nothing. She seemed uninjured, but she was depressed.

The memory left to her by the goddess Jiutian Xuannv was not that comprehensive. For example, she never expected that her biggest trouble after entering Loulan would come from the Loulan people who believed in the goddess.

Chi You's Jiuli clan and the Loulan clan had a feud for generations. She knew that her mission originally included resolving this thousand-year grudge, but this high priest couldn't explain it at all.

Just because of the Tears of the Goddess, I firmly believe that she is a descendant of the Chi You clan, in order to snatch the Demon God of War and start another war.

After a long period of fruitless communication, Xiao Li was speechless.

These Loulan people are out of their minds!
  The high priest turned around and faced the wall, and the people around him wisely made way for her.

"This girl's necklace..." the high priest pointed to the mural on the wall and said, "It is exactly the same as the necklace in the hands of Chi You, who was known as the 'War Demon' in the legend and brought endless disasters and killings to the world!"

"Xiao Li... I don't know if this is your real name, but you must have an identity that cannot be concealed - a descendant of Chi You!"

"Thousands of years have passed, and you still haven't repented. You still want to seize the Demon God of War and continue killing and war!" The high priest righteously accused Xiao Li.

Tianming rubbed his eyes and looked at the Tears of the Goddess on Xiao Li's chest again, confirming that it was indeed very similar to the mural on the wall, but... so what?

Even if Xiao Li is a descendant of Chi You, does it not mean that she is not a good person?
  By the way, what on earth is Chi You?
  After Tianming thought about this simple question, he immediately threw it aside and shouted loudly, "Why do you think Xiao Li is not a good person because of a necklace!? Are you still being unreasonable!?"

"Let me go quickly!"

Shao Yu also echoed, but he spoke more methodically and logically, "High Priest, we have no intention of getting involved with the Demon God of War. Besides, the dragon soul is now in your hands. As long as you let us go, we will immediately Leave Loulan and promise not to destroy Loulan’s stability."

Xiao Li drooped his head and had no intention of responding.

Because she knew very well that this high priest was an unreasonable master. As expected, when faced with Shao Yu’s reasonable request, the high priest didn’t believe it at all, “I still want to use sweet words to deceive people, ha!”

The high priest didn't want to talk to Tianming and others anymore, turned around, walked towards the direction of the goddess statue, and said:
  "The sacrifice is about to begin."

"Loulan is about to be reborn."

"And your crimes will be judged in front of the Crescent Lake, under the thousand-year blue moonlight!"

An impassioned speech was very meaningful, but unfortunately it was ruined by another voice.

“This mural is very interesting.”

"Who!?" The soldiers guarding the high priest were shocked. Why did an extra person suddenly appear? They shouted hurriedly.

When the high priest heard this, he didn't care about maintaining his dignity. He quickly turned around and saw an impossibly handsome man standing in front of Chi You's mural, with his hands folded across his chest, looking at it with interest.

"Who are you?" She repeated the same question.

It's a pity that the other party ignored their intentions.

Tianming shouted excitedly at this time, "Uncle Gu Xun! Are you here too?"

Gai Nie and Xue Nu, who were about to draw their swords, stopped when they saw Gu Xun appear.

After Gu Xun carefully observed the mural, he said to himself, "Xiao Li, according to legend, the Tears of the Goddess are a drop of tears shed by the Nine Heavens Xuannv out of compassion for the people of the world who were devastated after the Yellow Emperor Chi You's war. It was this tear that protected the last Chiyou people and allowed them to survive."

"So why were the tears of the goddess hanging on the hands of Chi You, who should have been dead at that time?"

Xiao Li looked at Gu Xun who suddenly appeared, with a slightly different color in his eyes, and replied slowly:

"The Tears of the Goddess are not only the Nine Heavens Xuannv's compassion for the common people in the world, but also the sorrow for Chi You who lost himself and indulged in war. This mural is to reflect this."

"Similarly, this also represents the protection of the Chiyou people by the Tears of the Goddess."

"The symbolic meaning, I understand." Gu Xun smiled and nodded, indicating that he understood.

The high priest was unhappy now, and cursed with a gloomy face, "The sinners of the Chi You clan dare to misinterpret the will of the goddess!"

"Today, you will definitely receive God's judgment!"

When Gu Xun heard this, he couldn't help but grin widely, "Hahaha, thanks to God's judgment, I think you Loulan people have been in the desert for a long time, maybe all the yellow sand has been poured into your brains!"

When Tianming heard this, he quickly echoed, "Uncle Gu Xun... is so right, there is something wrong with this woman's brain!"

Just when the high priest was about to order the few rotten guards around him to go up and capture Gu Xun, he spoke again, his tone full of ridicule and gloating:
  "You can't personally see Chi You, the war demon from ancient times, but now there is a new war demon that you can experience."

"I hope your gods can help you judge them, haha..."

　I forgot to write the chapter name in the last chapter...
