747 The Enemy Appears

“Country Lord, why don’t we stay here for a while and meet these shameful dogs? These thieves specifically target women. They’re truly the scum and disgrace of the Human race. I’ve long wanted to meet them, but they’ve been hiding better than rats. I can’t find any traces of them. This is a good opportunity,” Wushuang Ghost suddenly suggested.

One could tell that there seemed to be a burning flame in his eyes.

“Don’t you want to go to the Devil Oasis?” Li Xiang looked at Wushuang Ghost and asked curiously.

“With our speed, we should have enough time to get to the Devil Oasis, but this place is urgent. Since we’ve encountered the guys from the Desert Devil Bandits, there’s no reason to let them go,” said Wushuang Ghost loudly.

!!
“Are you going to the Devil Oasis?”

At this moment, even Hua Mulan and the others were surprised. That was a true forbidden zone for life. Others would avoid it, but now someone was actively looking for it. If they didn’t hear it personally, they would have thought it was a joke.

“That’s right. According to the news, the Devil Oasis is only one or two hundred kilometers away from here. It won’t be difficult to get there. Since we’ve met here and encountered the matter of the devil bandits, it’s rationale to stay and help General Hua. Of course, if you don’t welcome us, we can leave now,” said Li Xiang with a smile.

“It’s great to have the help of the two of you. Thank you.” Hua Mulan’s face revealed a hint of joy.

She could sense that Li Xiang and Wushuang Ghost were powerhouses in the mythical realm.

Li Xiang was a powerhouse in the divine realm who had comprehended more than one type of law in fact.

To have the help of such a strong person was naturally a good thing.

“According to the message left by King Hua, the devil bandits will take action today. But they didn’t say whether it will be day or night. They can take action at any time today,” said Hua Mulan slowly.

Li Xiang and Wushuang Ghost had said that they wanted to go to the Devil Oasis, but at that time, neither Xiao Que nor Hua Mulan believed them. They thought that it was just an excuse. Now that Li Xiang had said it so seriously, they had to believe it. They looked surprised, and at the same time, they valued Li Xiang and Wushuang Ghost’s strength even more.

If one wasn’t a top expert, who would dare to head to the Devil Oasis?

It was naturally a good thing for them that such a powerful person could stay and deal with the Desert Devil Bandits.

“Since King Hua said he’s going to steal you from the camp, he’ll show up for sure. Otherwise, the Desert Devil Bandits’ reputation will be ruined. I’m interested in how King Hua steals you.”

“Good. Then I’ll thank Brother Li in advance!”

Hua Mulan nodded and said, “Brother Li and Wushuang Ghost are heading to the Devil Oasis for an important matter. According to the information I receive, no one has ever left the oasis alive. If it’s not necessary, I advise you to consider it carefully. It’s better to wait until your cultivation is higher before exploring such a dangerous place.”

The Devil Oasis was an extremely dangerous place. It was a forbidden zone for life and was strange and unpredictable. No one knew what was inside.

She also didn’t want to see two powerhouses of the Human race being buried in the Devil Oasis so meaninglessly.

“There’s no need to persuade us on this matter. We have to go to the Devil Oasis for a reason. Besides, no matter how powerful the Devil Oasis is, it may not be able to make me die there,” said Li Xiang calmly and smiled indifferently. His expression was one of unwavering conviction.

Since he had already made a decision, he would not change it easily unless he had no other choice. He chose to go in not because he was confident that he could save his life at the critical moment.

Then, the two of them began to talk again. They talked about everything under the sun. During their conversation, Li Xiang also gained a basic understanding of General Valley.

According to Hua Mulan, there were millions of soldiers in General Valley. These were all professional soldiers who had experienced the battlefield. Only a portion of them had joined the four generals’ mansions in the valley. The rest were in a free state.

They would not join any force unless they met someone who could truly make them submit.

They no longer had a country, no home, and no one to pledge loyalty to. They only had the duty of a soldier and faith. Having lost their country and the monarch they were loyal to, they were at a loss as if they had lost their direction. They would not easily pledge their loyalty to others.

It was called the General Valley, but it was a group of soldiers who had temporarily lost their faith and direction as well as fell into confusion.

After the conversation, the tent fell into silence.

Li Xiang and Wushuang Ghost silently circulated their cultivation techniques, moving their spirits and absorbing heaven and earth vitality. They gradually deepened their cultivation and strengthened their innate talent. Hua Mulan was the same. As she cultivated, the air was filled with the faint fragrance of flowers, making people unconsciously intoxicated.

Time passed by in a flash. When it was almost noon, Hua Mulan, who was sitting at the side, suddenly disappear.

Even when they were cultivating, Li Xiang and Wushuang Ghost did not relax their attention at all. The moment Hua Mulan disappeared, they immediately noticed it and opened their eyes.

“General!” Xiao Que’s expression changed as she shouted.

“Oh no! This is the method of the devil bandits. They have been using this strange method to take away their target. It’s silent and without any signs. They just disappear without any reason. They won’t even have a trace of resistance before they are taken away,” said Wushuang Ghost with a serious expression.

“What a strange technique! This should be some kind of magical power. Although it was very obscure when it disappeared, it still couldn’t avoid the movement of the magical power’s law. However, this magical power is truly weird.”

Li Xiang suddenly stood up and quickly went to the place where Hua Mulan had been meditating.

He swept his gaze over and suddenly stretched out his hand. He grabbed at the ground and a grain of sand appeared in his hand.

“Sand?” Wushuang Ghost said in confusion.

“This sand is very common. It’s everywhere in the Golden Desert. It’s not strange for it to appear anywhere. Can it be that the general’s disappearance is related to this sand?” Xiao Que asked with a look of confusion and worry.

“This grain of sand didn’t exist before, but it suddenly appeared after General Hua disappeared. The magical power used by the devil bandits should be some kind of substitution technique.” Li Xiang’s eyes flashed with a sharp light as he spoke his judgment.
