224 Passing Through the Gates (2/2)
Qin Yun shuddered and felt that his breathing had stopped. His limbs were paralysed and he was unable to move a muscle.
On his shoulder where the identity imprint was, a sound was heard.
”Weng! Weng!”
The bronze mirror glittered and finally turned into a hue of green.
”There's no problem with his identity imprint. He should be a businessman from elsewhere who came here to trade. Hehe... Boy, the Ten Extremes is very dangerous. It's not a place for people like you!”
The leader of the guards revealed his yellow teeth and gently patted Qin Yun's cheek with the blade of his knife. Casually, he continued asking. ”What's your identity number?
”Woooo! Woooo!”
At this point in time, a bugle was heard across the entire Ten Extremes.
”Tata! Tata!”
A group of cavalries galloped past the gate and along the streets.
”Riding a horse along the streets? What has happened that could be so serious?”
As the leader's expression changed, he diverted his attention away from the cowardly Qin Yun and gave his order. ”Retreat, back to base! I'm afraid something big has happened!”
...
Looking at his silhouette from behind, Qin Yun finally came to his sense and started to breathe heavily.
”Not bad!”
Fang Yuan approached him at encouraged him with a calm voice.
”Since you managed to fool them, we can now try to go through the gate... Let's not waste time and be on our way now!”
”Wuuu!”
Qin Qing walked at the back. As she turned around, she could still see the chaos in the entire Ten Extremes and felt a little confused. 'Could it be... They have found out what happened in the desert plains?'
...
Fang Yuan and company made it through the gate.
The fire was still burning and a few square miles of the desert was charred.
Hundred of cavalries remained silent as they formed a circle.
”It's here! Officer Lin's last hint of spiritual aura was here!”
A soldier dressed in white exclaimed as he searched the area with a spiritual light.
”How would they dare to kill an officer of the Ten Extremes! When did the people of Nine Suns Sect have this ability?”
From the side, a general in black armour stood out.
He was tall, had eyes like a monkey and sideburns like a tiger. His face was squarish and he had large ears. With every step of his, it felt as though there was a mini earthquake.
”Bang!”
As the black-armoured general approached the center, he clenched his fist and punched the ground.
Soil and mud flew everywhere and everything that was left was a huge hole with the smell of a rotting corpse.
Fang Yuan was not that helpful and made sure that the Nine Suns Sect were the ones who would be responsible for his own doing.
All of their efforts to conceal the corpse were futile and it was discovered.
”Whoosh!”
Within the hole, a few shattered pieces of stone started to gather together under the influence of an invisible force and finally landed in the black-armoured general's hands, forming the shape of a bronze token.
”Lin Quannan's token is here. It seems like he has met with an unfortunate event...”
The general closed his eyes. ”What a strong spiritual spell! Its foundations are wood-type and it is further complemented by wind and fire-types! When did the Nine Suns Sect have such a strong alliance?”
”Reporting!”
At this point in time, following the arrival of an eagle, a soldier knelt on one knee and reported loudly. ”We have news that Nine Suns Sect have already traversed through the desert and have entered Three World Mountain. Should we continue to chase them?”
”There's no need to!”
The black-armoured general waved his hands. ”Do you want to relived what they have experienced?”
The Illusionary World was too mysterious, and there were instances of even spiritual knights in the Elemental Opening Realm dying there! Even the Ten Extremes would not be willing to risk, and from that day onwards, the Three World Mountain became a forbidden ground.
”Something feels... out of place!”
As the soldier in the white feather robe bent over, his face was filled with curiosity. ”Although all signs point to the Nine Suns Sect as the culprit, these soldiers did not die at the hands of the Nine Suns Sect...”
”Could it be...”
The black-armoured general froze before slowly dusting his hands. ”It is the bad luck of Officer Lin to have encountered a highly skilled person. This person could have come from the desert beyond the Three World Mountain! This is not good!”
His eyes glittered. Suddenly, he leapt onto his horse. ”Immediately inform the city to keep their guards up. A fugitive might be making his way back to Da Qian!”
”And also, order all the cavalries to patrol the smaller routes!”
It was evident that this black-armoured general had enough experience. As he passed down his orders, he slowly set up a giant net to capture the fugitives.
Little did he know that Fang Yuan and company had already left the Ten Extremes and even bypassed the final gate. They had already entered Da Qian Empire!
Sand Region.
This was one of the regions among the 99 in Da Qian Empire and was situated at the North-west of the empire. The people here were brute. The region consisted of 6 counties, and Dongyi County was one of them.
In the county, there were many people. Within a sedan, the Qin Siblings looked out with tears welling up in their eyes.
”Finally... we're back!”
Qin Qing clenched her teeth as her eyes were filled with tears. ”I will... take my revenge!”
