Chapter 564 Xiao Li: My Lord, please don’t go too far!

The conditions set by the Moon God, who trampled the high priest under his feet, made the high priest feel endlessly absurd.

One day ago, she had vowed to fight the Qin people to the death; but when the war really started, everything she was proud of was vulnerable. The dragon beast revered as the "Dragon God" was subdued, and the army of more than 10,000 was defeated. The Qin army had begun to enter the heart of Loulan.

Although various traps were set up in Loulan, the high priest did not think that those crude preparations would cause too much trouble to the imperial army with the help of Gongshu's people.

[No, there is still a glimmer of hope! ]

Instantly, the high priest was heartbroken and wanted to pierce his throat with the gemstone scepter. Fortunately, a ray of imperceptible hope was born in the endless despair. Even though the high priest was controlled by the Moon Goddess, he still struggled to turn his head and look into the distance, expecting that in the endless yellow sand, a mighty cavalry would emerge and attack the Qin army from the front and back when Loulan had not yet been completely defeated, and defeat the Qin army in one fell swoop.

Tian Xuan, who had successfully subdued the dragon beast, was still aware of the High Priest's small movements, even though he was some distance away from the High Priest. Immediately, the corners of his thin mouth slightly raised, his face meaningful, and he said leisurely: "High Priest, are you wondering why the reinforcements from the Great Yue Clan have not arrived yet?"

Tianxuan's words, carried by the rustling cool breeze, fell into the ears of the high priest, causing the high priest's expression to change drastically, his eyes bulged, and a look of genuine horror appeared in his eyes.

"Tian Xuanzi, what do you mean by this?"

Tian Xuan smiled slightly and said without comment: "Long before I set out from Wushuang City, I had sent a message to Han Xin, the governor of Yanmen County, ordering him to lead the army to attack Dayuezhi. If nothing unexpected happens, your good sister, the most beautiful woman on the grassland: Princess Altria, has already lost her head."

Boom!
Tianxuan's words shattered the high priest's last hope. The death of Altria, with whom he had deep feelings, was a huge blow to the high priest. Her pretty face completely lost its color, turning pale and grim like a ghost. Her heart beat violently in her chest, and she felt unprecedented pain.

"My dear husband, I never thought you could be so cruel as to kill such a beautiful and chaste woman."

When Yan Fei heard Tian Xuan say this, she was slightly surprised, and she opened and closed her thin lips as she spoke.

Tian Xuan turned his head to glance at Yan Fei, his tone as calm as autumn water: "No matter how beautiful Princess Altria is, I have never seen her. Since I have never seen her, her beauty does not exist at all to me. So, why can't I kill her?"

"kill me!"

Suddenly, the high priest, who was still being stepped on by the Moon God, roared with a strong breath of death, praying for the coming of death. The queen of Loulan, who was real but not famous, did not doubt the truth of Tianxuan's words. According to common sense, the reinforcements of the Great Yuezhi should have arrived long ago, but they were not seen. Tianxuan knew her relationship with Altria. With the connections and means of this unparalleled monarch of the empire, how could he not make preparations!

"Okay, I'll make it happen for you!"

The Moon Goddess, with one of her slender jade feet stepping on the high priest's flat belly, heard the high priest's words and revealed a bloodthirsty look on her thin lips. She agreed without hesitation, ready to cut off the high priest's life.

"Don't kill her!" Tianxuan treated the high priest as prey. Now that the prey was in the cage, how could he kill it like this? He shouted to Yueshen to stop her and walked towards her. In a few breaths, Tianxuan came to Yueshen's side and looked down at the high priest who looked like a withered flower. "High priest, if you become my concubine, I can spare the lives of most of the Loulan people; if you don't want to, I will not spare a single Loulan soldier."

"Pooh!"

When the high priest heard what Tianxuan said, even though he had no intention of dying, he still spat a mouthful of bloody phlegm at Tianxuan. "Despicable!"

"This is also how I evaluate myself." Tian Xuan turned his head slightly to avoid the high priest's thick phlegm, and regarded the other party's scolding as a compliment to himself. "I have always believed that meanness is the amulet of villains, and nobility is the epitaph of gentlemen!"

"enough!"

Xiao Li, the incarnation of the Queen Mother of the Nine Heavens, witnessed a one-sided massacre. More than half of the Loulan army was killed, and the old, weak, women and children ran out of the dome-shaped houses with Western characteristics, holding iron forks, hoes, sickles and other farm tools, knowing that if the war continued, Loulan would be in for a catastrophe.

Goodbye Tianxuan teased the high priest who fell into his hands like teasing a kitten. Even though Xiao Li was not a real person, nor a god who had escaped from the mundane world, and strictly speaking, was just a puppet controlled by the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady herself, he still developed emotions that should not have appeared: pain.

As he was drinking, Xiao Li turned into light and came to Tian Xuan's side. The tears of the goddess on her neck shone brightly in the sun, highlighting Xiao Li's holiness and ethereal spirit. The moment she caught the eyes of the high priest, he felt an urge to worship her. The Pixiu perched on Xiao Li's shoulder also followed the mood of its master and started to show its teeth and claws at Tian Xuan.

"You... who are you?" Looking at the girl coming in front of him, the high priest's voice trembled. He couldn't help but develop endless trust in her and said in a trembling voice.

"She is the incarnation of the goddess' tears. Strictly speaking, she is the incarnation of a tear of the Queen Mother of the West. She is your half goddess!" Tianxuan noticed the change in the high priest's expression and quietly revealed Xiao Li's identity.

“Hmph!” Xiao Li snorted coldly with a straight face, “Your Majesty, if you want me to keep my promise and help you bring the Soldier Demon God and the Chiyou Sword back to light, then stop here! Otherwise, I don’t mind using the power that I gave me to perish together with you.”

As she spoke, Xiao Li's eyes were full of determination. It was obvious that even though she was the incarnation of the ancient goddess: the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady, she had been completely angered by Tian Xuan during their interactions.

"All right!"

Tianxuan could tell that Xiao Li was not joking with him, so he agreed reluctantly.

"Soldiers, listen up, this will end as long as the Loulan people surrender!" Tianxuan added the Wuji Divine Power to his voice, turning it into a sonic thunder that affected Loulan. With the backdrop of the vast heaven and earth, it was like the sound of nature that came directly from the resurrection of heaven.

"Here."

The Qin army had strict military discipline, and Tianxuan had great prestige in the army. When this order was issued, even though most of the Qin army soldiers were already bloodthirsty, no one dared to disobey. The uniform responses rang out one after another, echoing Tianxuan's order that sounded like heaven's will, shocking the people of Loulan.

Bang! Bang! Bang!
The Loulan people were already in low spirits, and now they had a chance to survive, so how could they let it go? The thunder of the Empire still echoed between heaven and earth, and one by one, their hands loosened, and their weapons fell to the ground with a crisp sound. Along with this, many people sat down on the ground, unable to stand up.

However, the high priest who had been released from under the Moon Goddess's feet, his beautiful eyes like dead ashes and withered trees, rekindled the fire of hope.
