Chapter 488: World Border Journey (2)

"Sister Mulan~!"

What came forward was not the response to Mulan's question, but a clear and childish cheer.

Just as the door opened, the team's "mascot" Shen Mengxi, as if seeing his parents returning from a long journey, couldn't wait to run over with his short legs. But he was too excited and was tripped by a stone after only a few steps. He fell to the ground with his face against the ground and stopped only when he slid in front of Hua Mulan's heels.

It is also rare to see someone who relies so much on Mulan, who always seems a little unreliable most of the time.

As if she was used to it, Hua Mulan naturally picked up the little Shen Mengxi at her feet and brushed the dust off his face. At the same time, she asked Su Lie in the distance again: "What's going on?"

She still cares very much about the current situation on the border. Perhaps this woman is indeed heartless in her daily life, but when it comes to major issues, she is equally competent and responsible.

It wasn't just Hua Mulan, Baili Shouyao was also puzzled, but Wang Yao, who was standing next to her, understood everything instantly; because as Hua Mulan asked, he keenly caught a glimpse of resentment in Baili Xuance's eyes in the distance the next second.

He immediately guessed the reason.

At this time, Su Lie had also walked over. He had an extremely sturdy and strong figure, and his bulging muscles were like solid stones. Every time he stepped on the ground, there was a slight vibration. Coupled with his resolute face, he gave people an invisible sense of oppression that was as real as reality.

Objectively speaking, as a tank + strong control hero, Su Lie does have the capital to make his opponents wary and fearful.

"Mulan, you've had hard work on the long journey." Although the words were directed to Hua Mulan, Su Lie first nodded slightly to Baili Shouyao and exchanged a silent glance with him.

As a partner who spends every day together, Su Lie knows that the most tired person on this journey is the poor shooter.

At the same time, he turned to look at Wang Yao: "Long time no see, little brother Wang Yao."

After a pause, Su Lie quickly glanced up and down at the man in the hooded robe, who looked obviously different from four years ago, and then added: "You seem to have become much stronger in the past four years."

Wang Yao nodded silently, which could be considered as a greeting, and at the same time it made him more certain; he had indeed lived in the Great Wall for a period of time, and the people here really knew him.

"It has also become more silent." Su Lie gave a summary, then turned around and led everyone into the Great Wall. After all, if the city gates were open for a long time, even if there were more than seven heroes present, it would still be very dangerous at the border.

"We did enter the border half a year ago." Su Lie led the way and explained, "According to His Majesty's instructions, we started from the border, passed through the Protectorate, Mingsha Ruins, and finally arrived at Qianku City, where we finally found the 'woman'."

"What? You found her?!" Hua Mulan was surprised. "So what? Did you catch her?"

The first mission of the Great Wall Guard this time is to find and arrest the 'mysterious woman' who triggered the Yunzhong Rebellion four years ago. Unlike some 'relatively' short-sighted forces, as the only female emperor in history and the actual supreme ruler of the Tang Dynasty, Wu Zetian's vision and strategy are equally profound and long-term.

At least in Wu Zetian's opinion, instead of searching for the hidden treasures scattered in the desert, why not go straight to Huanglong and find and control the culprit who caused all the troubles? As long as the rebel leader can be captured before other forces react, all the skill modules and mysterious equipment can be obtained, and even their sources and the many secrets hidden behind them can be found!

Of course, having a unique vision is one thing, but whether it can be done is another. At least for now, the Great Wall Guards have obviously suffered losses.

"It's not that easy. That woman is too powerful. We can't beat her at all." Shen Mengxi, who was led by Hua Mulan, said a little aggrievedly: "If you and Brother Shouyue were there at that time, maybe we would have had some chances if you were there."

Su Lie calmly denied this view: "Not necessarily. That woman's background must be extraordinary, and her strength is unfathomable. Even with Mulan and Shouyue as our main output, I'm afraid our chance of winning will not exceed 5%!"

Even Baili Shouyao was somewhat shocked when he heard this. While greeting his brother Xuan Ce who came over to greet him, he said in disbelief: "With so many people in our guards, we can't beat a woman?"

"Brother, don't underestimate that woman. Do you know how exaggerated she was? She killed little brother Mengxi instantly with one skill as soon as they met. And Dunshan was suddenly pulled into some kind of different space by that woman using strange means in the middle of the fight. When he came out, he was in tatters and lost his ability to fight."

Baili Xuance vividly described the battlefield at that time. At the same time, he turned around and said to Dunshan who was cautiously following him at the edge: "Right, Dunshan? Tell me the truth, were you beaten up badly in that alien space?"

"Cool coo coo!" Shield Mountain danced excitedly, as if trying his best to explain and prove himself, but then his eyes intentionally or unintentionally glanced at the man in the hooded robe following behind the crowd, and suddenly he quickly quieted down like a shy child.

As the front-line tank in the team, it is actually quite shy! In fact, Dunshan joined the Great Wall Guards after Wang Yao left four years ago, so he can be said to be the only one in the team who met Wang Yao for the first time.

"Don't be afraid, he's not a bad guy." Baili Xuance held the back of his head with both hands, and walked while making fun of Dunshan, who looked big and strong but was actually as shy and timid as a child.

Compared to the shy Shield Mountain, Baili Xuance is extremely outgoing. Even though they have been apart for 4 years, he does not feel strange at all when facing Wang Yao. Instead, he seems to be very used to it.

On the other hand, Hua Mulan, who was a little slow to react, finally reacted after hearing this: "Wait, what the hell! So what you mean is that all of you men were wiped out by a woman?!"

".You just reacted?" Baili Shouyao looked at the woman with a dark face. At the same time, he did not dare to underestimate the enemy he would face next.

After all, he was a terrifying existence who single-handedly led the rebels to almost break through the Great Wall four years ago, and even wiped out the Great Wall guards. His strength should not be underestimated, but I don't know how he compares to this guy.
Baili Shouyao looked meaningfully at Wang Yao who was following the crowd silently. At this moment, the man was lowering his head slightly, and the shadow of his hat brim covered his eyes. Only a few strands of white hair were fluttering gently in the breeze.

At this time, Su Lie sighed and said, "Unfortunately, in the end we were all defeated by that woman and could not stop her. Qianku City was still destroyed."

"What's wrong with Qianku City?" Mulan frowned, and she began to realize belatedly how difficult the problem was.

"That's what I wanted to tell you. During this short trip to the border, I found many things that were not right." Su Lie's expression gradually became serious. "Let me start from the beginning. Nine months ago, after you and Shou Yue left the Great Wall, we also followed them into the Cloud Desert. We followed the clues all the way to the outskirts of Qianku City. On the way, we accidentally encountered the Magic Breaking Arrow and found that she was also heading to Qianku City."

The demon-destroying arrow that Su Lie mentioned refers to Jialuo. Four years ago, when the foreign rebels emerged, Jialuo saved Su Lie and then briefly joined the Great Wall Guards and helped them guard the Great Wall. Hua Mulan was naturally aware of this.

And at this moment, without anyone noticing, Wang Yao, who had been following silently behind, stopped without any warning, while everyone else continued walking forward without realizing it.

Su Lie continued, "According to Jialuo, it seems that an evil force has set its sights on her hometown, Qianku City, and she was about to rush back to warn her people. It was not until then that I realized that Qianku City was not the hiding place of that woman, but her target at that time! According to Jialuo, that woman seemed to be planning to seize some ancient thing in Qianku City. Later, I personally investigated it and found that it could be used as a medium for some kind of resurrection ceremony!"

"So weird?" Hua Mulan opened her bright eyes, "When did our hero need a medium to be resurrected?"

"So the person who was resurrected must be no simple person, Sister Mulan." Baili Xuance still held the back of his head with his hands and reminded leisurely.

"What do you mean?" Baili Shouyao turned and asked his younger brother.

Shen Mengxi interrupted and said, "Just over three months ago, a world-shaking war broke out in the deepest part of the Cloud Desert. We don't know who the two warring parties were, but Sister Jialuo said that it must be related to the dangerous person who was resurrected."

“Well, there are some clues.” Su Lie added: “Although we cannot be sure whether the new enemy was resurrected by the mysterious woman, their opponent is very likely one of the great sages from the Jixia Academy, Peace Watch!”

Hua Mulan immediately tilted her head and exclaimed: "How come even those old monsters have come to the border?"

Su Lie nodded and said, "I'm afraid that's the case. Because just three months ago, on the eve of the outbreak of the war, the great sage Peace Watcher came to us. After he learned the ins and outs of some things from me, he went deep into the desert alone."

Suddenly, Mulan stopped.

As if sensing something, everyone subconsciously stopped and looked forward at the same time.

I don't know when, but a strong blue figure appeared at the end of the front.

He was a handsome man about 28 years old, wearing blue and white light armor; his silvery light blue hair was neatly combed back, and on his face with distinct features, his pair of sharp light blue eyes seemed to contain endless and terrifying magic power. His cold, arrogant and lonely manner revealed an irresistible sharpness!

That is--

One of the members of the Great Wall Guard; Destruction Blade Armor!
