Chapter 486 World Chapter Great Wall Border (Part )

After waiting for a while without any response, and considering that someone as cold as Wang Yao was unlikely to be a good listener who would answer his questions, Baili Shouyue immediately started talking incessantly.

"Our destination this time is called 'Cloud Desert'. It is said that in ancient times, it was a rich land that was no less than the current Central Plains, and an extremely powerful country once rose in it. However, this country was destroyed due to a great war between gods that was not even recorded in history books. In the thousand years since then, the ruined country has been haunted by all kinds of mutant demons that are far more ferocious than the wild monsters in the canyon. Over time, as humans moved away, it slowly became a deserted and uninhabited death desert. For thousands of years, except for a very small number of heroes above the [Legend] level who occasionally went in to explore, no one dared to enter. The reason why the previous emperors of the Tang Dynasty joined forces with the Jixia Academy to build the Great Wall was to resist the rampant demons inside. This is also the origin of the predecessor of our Great Wall Guards."

Turn the wooden stick in your hand evenly to make the heating surface of the rabbit as even as possible, Baili Shouyue continued.

"But in the following hundreds of years, as the demons in the periphery were eliminated and suppressed one by one by the major forces, and with the opening of the Silk Road, the desert border that was originally not suitable for living was gradually occupied and redeveloped by various ethnic groups after a hundred years of evolution. Today, although no one dares to set foot in the wild areas in the center, countless ethnic groups have prospered and lived in the periphery. This is a good thing. After all, with desertification becoming more and more serious today, more habitable areas can also reduce disputes. However, most of the peripheral areas that should have developed peacefully and stably have quickly fallen in the past two years. The cause of all this stems from the event we call the 'Battle in the Clouds'."

Wang Yao's eyes narrowed slightly subconsciously as he looked up at the night sky where the stars were becoming more and more prominent.

"The cause of the incident was that one day four years ago, people on the border were suddenly surprised to find that some of the alien races entrenched in the Cloud Desert, such as the Goguryeo, Sand Snake Gang, Horse Gang and other minority groups, were able to use their flesh and blood to display the unique skills of heroes. There were even a large number of alien races using some unheard-of weapons, but they dealt damage comparable to the heroes' ordinary attacks. They quickly gathered in the Cloud Desert and became stronger, as if some invisible force had merged them into a new force. They began to expand outward continuously, attempting to annex the entire border, and even threatened all the surrounding original forces."

"Against this backdrop, four years ago, in order to protect the people from foreign invasions, Her Majesty united several surrounding forces, including the 4 Constellations led by the great sage Xiaoyao Huanmeng from the Jixia Academy, to conduct a thorough cleanup of the border area. This was the beginning of the 'Battle in the Clouds', and the rebellion was finally quelled after two years, which was two years ago. With the end of the war, the border area that had been developed with great difficulty also declined. Today, only some towns and markets remain."

When Wang Yao heard this, he thought of the 28 heroes in the different space sealed by Zhuang Zhou before, and then he realized that the constellations mentioned by Baili Shouyao might be referring to "them".

But at the same time, he was also keenly aware of a problem: "Four years ago, that was..."

"Yes, it was the day you left the Great Wall and traveled to the Three Kingdoms with the captain. It seems that you have indeed lost that memory."

Baili Shouyue said.

"At that time, the situation was already very turbulent, with chaos and disorder everywhere. The aliens relied on their unknown skill modules and equipment, plus their numerical advantage, and they even forced us to be overwhelmed. We were even in danger of being breached and occupied by the aliens at any time. So now you know why the captain suddenly sent you to Sanfendi four years ago? If it weren't for that turmoil, we could have left you at the Great Wall. Why would we have gone to the trouble of sending you to such a remote and backward Sanfendi?"

Having said that, Baili Shouyao looked towards Wang Yao again meaningfully.

"I don't know why the captain likes you so much that she personally sent you here for your safety. Of course, don't be fooled by the captain's heartless appearance. I can see that from the moment she recognized you, she has been doubting herself in her heart, wondering if her decision to send you to the Three Kingdoms was a mistake."

In the past four years, Wang Yao has undergone tremendous changes. Even though he has never talked about his past experiences, everyone can see that his four years of experience in Sanfendi were extremely painful and profound.

Hua Mulan had actually seen it a long time ago, but she never took the initiative to ask Wang Yao. In addition to the guilt in her heart, she was more unwilling to let Wang Yao recall those painful memories again. She was such a person, seemingly dazed and impatient, but in fact her heart was as transparent and gentle as a mirror.

Wang Yao subconsciously turned his head slightly and looked at the woman under the tree who was still murmuring in her sleep.

She had a standard beauty's face, a plump and slender body, slightly moist lips that opened and closed, and her proud breasts rising and falling rhythmically with her breathing. If you ignored her sloppy sleeping posture and the saliva dripping from the corners of her mouth, it would be a rare sight of a sleeping beauty.

Turning his gaze back to the starry sky, Wang Yao changed the subject and said, "Fenfendi has not received any relevant news about the things you mentioned in recent years."

Hearing this, Baili Shouyue just replied as if it was a matter of course: "Of course, the Three-Point Land is remote and backward, far away from the center of the continent, almost at the edge of the world. In addition, they have been focusing on the civil war for many years and have no time to take care of the situation in the interior, and never take the initiative to pay attention to it."

In this regard, Wang Yao's attitude is to be more willing to believe that the so-called "Battle in the Clouds" was deliberately blocked by the Jixia Academy; after all, the outside world is rampant with monsters and communications are extremely underdeveloped. It is not difficult for such a behemoth as the Jixia Academy to block any information. Otherwise, even if Sanfendi was backward, it would be impossible for Zhuge Liang, who came from the Jixia Academy, to not know about it.

As for why the news was blocked, it was probably because they were worried that once such rebellion campaigns spread, it would probably cause a series of chain reactions. Once power is involved, it is a road to the abyss of no return. Wang Yao had every reason to believe that some forces were not actually wholeheartedly submissive to the Jixia Academy.

On the other side, Baili Shouyao continued: "The inland has not been peaceful in recent years, and most of the main forces of the Jixia Academy are concentrated in the inland. Backward places like Sanfendi are generally not given much attention, otherwise it would be impossible for a demon king of your level to survive until now. You must know that almost all the demon kings in history were strangled in the cradle by the Jixia Academy in the early stages." Baili Shouyao was also present when Hua Mulan confronted Liu Zhang and others, so he naturally knew some of Wang Yao's life stories and his current special identity.

And this may be the legendary "regional discrimination". As an "inlander", Baili Shouyao seems to look down on the remote and backward Sanfendi. Whenever he talks about Sanfendi, there is always an inexplicable arrogance and disdain on his face. But what he doesn't know is that no matter how turbulent the inland has been in the past two years, it is essentially far inferior to Sanfendi, because the situation in the inland is at most relatively chaotic, while Sanfendi almost lost the world's orthodox Jixia Academy!

In a sense, what Wang Yao did in Sanfendi in recent years is far from being comparable to the so-called "Battle in the Clouds". If it weren't for Wan Gu Chang Ming of the Jixia Academy who forcibly blocked the news of Sanfendi in order to stabilize the overall situation and prevent it from becoming more chaotic, Wang Yao's notorious reputation would have spread all over the world long ago.

From an unknown soldier, he gradually grew up, and finally raised the banner of rebellion in the name of "liberation", swept across the three-point land, conquered Fusang, defeated Xuanyong, severely damaged the black and white chess, slaughtered millions of captives, and stained the river with blood for thousands of miles, and even reached the point of fighting a decisive battle with the Jixia Academy. Which of these things would not surprise people? Anyone who heard about it would break out in a cold sweat, because under the high-pressure rule of the Jixia Academy, no one had ever achieved such a horrific record in nearly 2000 years!

Of course, none of this matters anymore.
Wang Yao said calmly: "You seem to be a little off topic."

"Uh" Baili Shouyao hesitated for a moment, and when he came to his senses, he coughed awkwardly to cover up his embarrassment.

Unconsciously, he seemed to be showing off. This kind of boasting mentality, similar to "Look, we are very great", made him, who has always been mature and steady, feel quite embarrassed.

Perhaps it was Wang Yao's always indifferent attitude that aroused his competitive spirit?
After adjusting his mindset a bit, Baili Shouyao continued, "Looking back now, regarding the turmoil four years ago, some say that the pagans entrenched in the desert reached a deal with the evil god through some kind of evil ritual, and some say that the skill modules and equipment that can rival heroes were actually obtained by foreign countries through excavating ancient ruins. In short, half a year ago, the empress finally pacified all the external threats. In order to prevent the tragedy from happening again and prevent the surrounding lives from being destroyed again, she issued an edict and ordered our Great Wall Guards to explore the border again. According to the information we have obtained so far, it seems that the person who led the alien race back then was a mysterious woman of unknown identity. So this time, our mission in the border is to search for the traces of this woman and the remaining forces and eliminate them!"

Hearing this, Wang Yao's mouth corners suddenly curled up slightly and he smiled coldly.

This action happened to be seen by Baili Shouyue: "Is there any problem?"

"It sounds nice to say that it is for the common people, but in fact it is just for those skill modules scattered in the desert and the equipment of unknown origin." Wang Yao said incisively.

"I guess other forces have also sent their heroes to the border."

Wang Yao knows these people in power too well. Even the Jixia Academy can fool people for unknown purposes. How high can you expect the rulers of other forces to have high moral awareness? For the sake of people? Stop it.
Besides, the world has suffered from the Jixia Academy for a long time. If the secrets of the Yunzhong Desert are solved and those equipment and skill modules of unknown origin are taken for oneself, then one will have the strength to stand on equal footing with the Jixia Academy and will no longer be controlled by it!

Which force would be willing to let go of such a good opportunity? Therefore, it is likely that the Empress Wu Zetian of the Tang Dynasty did not only send Hua Mulan's team into the desert. The Great Wall Guards were more of an open line for outsiders to see. There may be more complex and intertwined forces involved in private.

But then again, the 'mysterious woman' that Baili Shouyue mentioned as leading the foreign rebellion.
Wang Yao subconsciously reached to the side, where his cell phone was still lying quietly. Gradually, his gaze became more profound.

On the other hand, Baili Shouyue was also somewhat surprised, amazed at Wang Yao's sharpness, but also somewhat afraid of his deep darkness; at least most people actually believed that it was the mercy of Her Majesty the Empress, whether it was the soldiers or most of the heroes.
"Perhaps you are right."

Baili Shouyao does not deny that some of the behaviors of those in power are not as glamorous as they seem on the surface, but unlike Wang Yao, he does not pay attention to the common people. Like most heroes, he also recognizes the hierarchical system that divides people into different levels, so no matter what, he will wholeheartedly obey the instructions of his superiors.

"Indeed, this time the border can be said to be a gathering of heroes. Except for Sanfendi, which has not taken any action, all other forces have joined in, including Chang'an, Great Wall, Haidu, Sunset Temple, Wolf Flag, Thousand Caves, Mingsha, Yucheng, Yunmeng, etc. We didn't plan to come to find you, but half a year ago, your Zhuge Liang suddenly sent a letter to the Great Wall, saying that you were in danger and asked us to take you away. He also emphasized that you have successfully promoted to a hero. Considering that the Great Wall is also in urgent need of new combat power, we came to Sanfendi."

At this point, Wang Yao finally had a general understanding of this trip; a world-class battle that seemed to be aimed at eliminating hidden dangers, but was actually for competing for scarce resources!
It must be said that the information blockade of the Jixia Academy was indeed very effective; at least up to now, except for those great sages and a few heroes like Wang Yao who stood at the forefront of the world, no one in the world knew about the prophecy of the doomsday disaster.
Of course, Wang Yao knew very well that the Jixia Academy would also not be able to announce the yet-to-be-confirmed doomsday disaster too early, as that would cause the world to be out of control and fall into chaos prematurely. After all, if the world was really about to be destroyed, who would continue to obey the constraints of the Jixia Academy?
There are still two doubts about Baili Shouyue's statement: Why did he ask Hua Mulan to take him to the Jixia Academy before he lost his memory? At that time, he already knew about the existence of the Jixia Academy? Did he experience anything else before coming to this world?
And that mysterious woman, could she be the woman he had 'cell phone contact' with before?

With his hands behind his head, Wang Yao lay on the tree trunk, looking up at the starry night sky and fell into silence for a long time. Until late at night, he heard Hua Mulan's yawn as she woke up and her excited cheers for the ready-made food.

Perhaps, all these mysteries can only be solved after he goes deep into the border.
