Loulan City, the capital of the ancient country of the Western Regions. To the west, it is connected to Qiemo, Jingjue, Kumi and Yudian. To the north, it is connected to Tongshi. To the east, it is connected to Bailongdui, which leads to Dunhuang and controls the strategic point of the Silk Road. The disappearance of the ancient city of Loulan was a mystery of the world. What kind of secret did this ancient city buried in the yellow sand sink into the ground? Even in the era of advanced technology, no one knew.
In this mysterious world, no one would know about it. Although Lu Li was moved by the ruins of the ancient city, no one would understand. To them, it was just a pile of ruins. What they cared about was the Ashura Bladesmanship, the peerless martial art that once allowed Asura to dominate the Central Plains!
Lu Li shook his head, mocking himself for thinking about the mystery of the disappearance of the Ancient City of Loulan in such an era. He tightened his cloak. Walking in the desert without a cloak would only make him covered in sand.
"Please! Your Excellency Hidden Emperor, follow me." A person who looked like a steward in crimson silk said to Lu Li. There were two men who were wearing black robes that looked similar to the Arabians in Lu Li's previous life following closely behind the steward. They had a scimitar hanging from their waists and were emitting a strong murderous aura.
Lu Li sized them up quietly. Second-rate warriors of the Pre-Sky Realm. They must be from the Three Heroes Gang. The Three Heroes Gang, which dominated the 36 countries in the Western Region, lived up to its reputation. If they could be recruited, the Secret Order would be much stronger and they would have the capital to conquer the Western Region. However, he was a little too optimistic at the moment. He believed that a person with such a huge influence would definitely not submit to his small hidden sect.
Fifty soldiers in black armor followed closely behind Lu Li, leading their horses. The murderous intent from them was almost tangible. The butler in brocade wiped the sweat off his forehead in fear. Before, he had looked down on this so-called Hidden Emperor of the Secret Order, but now he had locked that contempt in the depths of his heart.
Lu Li followed the steward. He could not help but feel envious of the Three Heroes Fort's wealth. An ordinary steward was dressed in silk. As they went deeper into the camp, they saw pairs of subordinates from the Three Heroes Stockade patrolling the area. The campsite was built on the ruins of Lou Lan, and there were large tents that were used to prevent sand from blowing. Most of the tents were already occupied, and some were still being filled with people from the Central Plains, Indians, and Arabs. Obviously, Lu Li had arrived late.
The steward took Lu Li to a remote tent near the periphery of the camp. The steward couldn't help but feel anxious. Clearly, Lu Li and his people were not to be trifled with. However, the central area had been taken up. This was the closest area to the center. If Lu Li was not satisfied, he really didn't know what to do.
Seeing this place, the 50 black-armored soldiers behind Lu Li suddenly released a strong murderous aura. One of them stepped forward and shouted to the steward,""How dare you treat the Emperor like this!”
Whoosh!
He pulled out his long saber and slashed down at the butler with lightning speed. This simple slash had condensed all of the black-armored soldier's essence, energy, and spirit. It was as fast as lightning and as powerful as a tiger! The butler was so frightened by this knife that he cried out and fell to the ground. The two guards beside him hurriedly pulled out their scimitars and crossed them to block it.
A clang was heard! The black-armored soldier's saber was blocked, but he did not show any surprise. Instead, he sneered disdainfully. As he channeled his inner strength, his entire face instantly turned red, and the veins on his forehead popped out, as if he had just arrived! The long saber suddenly pressed down." Open!”The two scimitars were unable to withstand the attack and were instantly blasted apart. The two guards were even sent flying to the sides, retreating several steps.
The long saber shook off the two scimitars and slashed down at the butler. At this critical moment, a scimitar shot out from the largest tent in the middle of the camp. Like a bolt of lightning, it was aimed at the abdomen of the black-armored soldier!
Lu Li's eyes glowed. He shouted coldly,""How dare you kill my guard in front of me!”Canyang attacked first, as if he had created something out of nothing. The tip of his spear tapped on the scimitar and sent it flying, stabbing into the desert in the distance.
The black-armored soldier also stopped his saber because of this attack, and the embroidered butler also saved his life. However, following that, there was a clanging sound and a flash of saber light. All the black-armored soldiers pulled out their sabers and stared at the tent in the middle of the camp.
"Lord Hidden Emperor is magnanimous. Why bother with a housekeeper? Besides, this was the only place in the entire camp that was still empty. Could it be that the Hidden Emperor still wanted others to let him go?”A rich and broad male voice came from the tent.
"What a strong internal strength. He's probably an expert who has refined his Qi into a spirit. What a good Three Heroes Stronghold. This should be one of the three heroes. I just don't know who he is. It seems that things are a little troublesome.”Lu Li thought to himself. Before he came to the Western Regions, he had underestimated the power of the Western Regions.
"It's okay. My subordinates are insensible. Please forgive me. This place is quite good. Seventeen, tell the brothers to put away their knives.”Lu Li said. The soldier in black armor who had defeated the two guards snorted and put away his saber. Out of the 3,000 soldiers in black armor, Lu Li chose 18 to be his guards. They would be given more powerful martial arts techniques and would be more loyal to Lu Li. They all had Lu as their surname and were named after their ranks. Each of them was a first-class expert in the Postliminary Realm! This time, Sixteen, Seventeen, and Eighteen all accompanied Lu Li to the Ancient City of Loulan to compete for the Ashura Bladesmanship. The remaining fifteen were either on missions or guarding the Jade Gate Pass with Zhao Yong.
The reason why Lu Li didn't stop the 17th Swordsman was to show his power and to test the strength of the Three Heroes Stockade. But it seemed that things were not looking good. It would not be easy to fight for the Ashura Bladesmanship this time.
There was no more noise in the tent. The butler and two guards left quickly. Lu Li and the soldier in black armor packed up and settled down, waiting for the start of the tournament. Lu Li sat in the tent with his legs crossed. He smiled and said," He wanted the Asura Saber Technique, and he also wanted the Three Heroes Stronghold!
Roar!
An illusory azure dragon came out of Lu Li's body and circled around him. Lu Li closed his eyes and his breathing became longer. He was immersed in cultivation.
