Chapter 560: Beheading and sacrificing the flag? Killing a loyal minister by mistake?

"High Priest, I haven't seen you for many years. I hope you are doing well!"

Tianxuan, who was standing on the deck of a mechanical sand boat, looked down and saw the high priest driving the dragon beast to appear. A smile of contempt appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he spoke leisurely.

"Thanks to your Majesty, everything is fine."

Tianxuan's words, which carried a trace of the increasingly mysterious Wuji Shengang power, reached the ears of the high priest. The high priest, who was slightly petite, wearing a black cloak, and showing the demeanor of a ruler of a country, raised his head on the back of the dragon beast when he heard the words. It was obviously up and down, but when the high priest raised his delicate head, his majesty was fully revealed, like a queen who could not be desecrated, forcing people to look directly at Tianxuan.

Halfway through his words, the high priest changed the subject, his tone revealing deep regret.

"If the Qin people can get out of this area and never appear in front of me again, then I will definitely live a better life!"

"presumptuous!"

"Be bold!"

"Witch, you are looking for death!"

……

The high priest's words contained a strong hatred for the Qin people. After several years of assimilation, most people in the empire's territory have recognized the identity of the Qin people. Facing the contempt from the high priest, Tianxuan did not get angry, but his soldiers changed color and scolded him again and again.

When the subordinates greeted the high priestess and raised their greetings to her eighteen generations of ancestors and even the supreme belief of Loulan: the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady, Tianxuan frowned slightly, raised one hand, and made a gesture to stop the subordinates. Following Tianxuan's action, all the Qin soldiers who were cursing stopped, and no one dared to shout anymore.

"Unfortunately, you will never have the chance to fulfill your wish." Tianxuan leaned forward on the deck, overlooking the high priest. His eyes were filled with undisguised passion and greed. The high priest felt that this world-famous pervert seemed to be placing his hands in his eyes and touching himself. He couldn't help feeling a chill all over his body.

Along with the look that made the high priest feel terrified, there came words that were full of awe-inspiring domineering power and left no room for doubt.

"After this battle, I will make you my concubine!"

"Ying Tianxuan, you are daydreaming!"

"Don't even think about blaspheming the high priest!"

"The high priest is the incarnation of the Queen Mother of the Nine Heavens. Aren't you afraid of angering her?"

……

Tianxuan made no secret of his ambition for the high priest, and regarded him as a piece of fish on the chopping board. Just like Zhengge's status in the hearts of the imperial soldiers, the high priest has a high reputation in the hearts of the people of Loulan. Although Tianxuan had sent someone to propose a marriage not long ago, it really happened under their noses, which had a huge impact on the people of Loulan.

As soon as he finished speaking, all the Loulan people who could understand the elegant music of the Central Plains became extremely angry and started cursing and scolding.

"It is her blessing to be your concubine!"

"How can Loulan fight against the Qin cavalry?"

"Hahaha, in my opinion, this high priest whose real name is unknown, you should quickly clean yourself up and climb into the bed of the Lord!"

……

The 50,000 Qin soldiers and the more than 10,000 Loulan golden armored warriors were about 30 feet apart. The Loulan people were angry because Tianxuan teased the high priest and cursed him. The Qin soldiers were not vegetarians either, and they responded with dirty words. The originally stagnant and depressing atmosphere was affected by these dirty words and was quite boiling. "Husband, the verbal battle is enough, it's time to take action!"

Yan Fei, who was standing on the deck with Tian Xuan, witnessed all of this. Deep down in her heart, even though Yan Fei knew Tian Xuan's character, she still felt a little jealous. When the soldiers on both sides cursed at each other and even cursed each other's ancestors, Yan Fei frowned slightly, came to Tian Xuan's side, and whispered a reminder.

Clang!
Tianxuan watched his soldiers quarreling with the Loulan people. On the one hand, it was a chance for his men who had come from afar to take a break; on the other hand, appropriate quarrels could boost morale and dispel the fear of killing on the battlefield. Tianxuan heard Yan Fei's words and used his increasingly sharp spiritual perception. Just as Yan Fei said, the army's morale was ready.

His right hand drew out the Hongming Sword like lightning. The moment the peerless divine sword was unsheathed, the clear and loud sound of the sword shook the sky. The pure and transparent blade gathered the surrounding sunlight, making it impossible for people to look directly at the divine sword. As the divine sword was unsheathed, the chattering Qin army soldiers stopped talking one after another.

Countless eyes fell on Tianxuan and his Hongming Sword. As long as the blade fell, the 50,000 Qin soldiers, ready to go, would launch a fierce attack on the enemy like a tiger descending from the mountain. In an instant, murderous aura surged, and the 50,000 Qin soldiers broke away from their free and undisciplined state, showing the demeanor of a mighty army that had fought many battles.

"Behead that traitor and sacrifice him to the flag!"

The murderous aura of the 50,000 Qin troops fell on the Loulan army led by the high priest like a sudden cold day. Everyone, including the high priest, shuddered, as if every part of their body was pressed by weapons. Looking at the mighty Qin army thirty feet away, the high priest knew that the Qin army could launch an attack at any time.

The high priest gave the order to boost his own morale.

puff!

The traitor mentioned by the high priest was none other than Old Man Lu, whose real name was unknown. After finally returning to Loulan, he was treated as a traitor and tortured day and night. Now, his body was covered with wounds and blood, and there was not even a piece of good meat left. Old Man Lu was just hanging on to his last breath.

A long sword was raised and fell on Old Man Lu's scarred neck, mercilessly cutting off his head. Blood splattered, and the head rolled on the ground for several circles before stopping, but the eyes were still wide open, staring at Tianxuan.

"High Priest, there is one thing I forgot to tell you just now."

Although Chen Ping was behind the scenes in conspiring to label Old Man Lu a traitor, Tianxuan was the real mastermind. Seeing Old Man Lu's head being removed, Tianxuan was very happy. This was the fate of those who betrayed him.

"That is, Old Man Lu did not betray Loulan. He has been under my command for several years, but he has always been disobedient. As for why the Pixiu he sent back was fake, it was because I had discovered his identity a long time ago and replaced the Pixiu. Therefore, you did not kill my spy, but a loyal minister who worked hard for Loulan!"

"Hahaha!"

"A bunch of idiots!"

"You stinky bitch with long hair and short knowledge!"

……

As soon as Tianxuan said this, thunderous laughter broke out in the Qin army, and mocking and disdainful words were heard everywhere, despising the stupidity of the Loulan people.

"what!"

The high priest was instantly freed from his anger when faced with Tianxuan's ridicule. He felt that every look he got from her was filled with contempt and ridicule, and he felt uneasy. Finally, he screamed in shame and anger, and raised the gem-encrusted scepter in his hand, aiming it at the Qin army formation.

"Soldiers, attack, and avenge Old Man Lu and all those who died because of the Qin people!"

In shame and anger, the high priest gave the order to start a war, wishing he could immediately wash away the shame with Tianxuan's blood.
