Chapter 234 Military encounter

After stopping Que Xie, Li Chen turned to look at the soldiers leading the way and said in a deep voice: "They are not going in because they have weapons. We don't have weapons, so we will go in with you."

The leading soldier glanced at a few people and nodded slightly: "That's fine, guests are welcome."

After saying that, he turned around and led Li Chen and Hua Ying to continue walking inside.

I walked up the stone steps behind the statue of the goddess and soon arrived at the entrance of the hall.

Li Chen turned around and looked around, and found that this place was already level with the goddess's abdomen. A corridor stretched from the entrance of the temple to the goddess's body, and passed through the body to reach the hands held by the goddess.

Before Li Chen could take a closer look, the soldier leading the way whispered: "The high priest is inside, please come in."

Li Chen nodded slightly, exchanged glances with Hua Ying beside him, opened the curtain in front of him, and stepped in.

The main hall was very spacious, and there were more than a dozen people standing inside, including men, women, and a few elderly people.

Li Chen looked at it for a moment, then looked up at the figure on the high platform in front of him.

As Li Chen and the two entered, the figure slowly turned around. This figure should be the high priest of Loulan.

This person was wearing an orange and yellow dress, a white cape, and a nearly two-meter golden scepter in his hand. He looked to be in his thirties.

Li Chen looked at the high priest for a moment, then cupped his fists and said, "Li Chen, I have met the high priest."

The high priest of Loulan looked at Li Chen for a while, and then said, "I heard that the guest is coming from the Central Plains and wants to go to the Western Regions to collect medicine?"

Li Chen smiled and nodded and said: "Yes, it has been more than ten days since we entered the desert. When I saw this place today, I wanted to come here to have a rest before heading to the Western Regions."

The high priest looked up and down again, and then, with a wave of his hand, a metal cage fell from the sky, trapping Li Chen and Hua Ying in it.

Li Chen looked at the cage, then looked up at the high priest, and said solemnly: "What does the high priest mean? If you don't want us to rest here, we can just leave. There is no need for such a big battle, right?"

The high priest sneered, stepped forward, stared at Li Chen and said: "Do you still want to pretend? You said you are from the Central Plains. Loulan and the Central Plains are separated by the endless desert. How can you do it in this desert with your hands in the air?

Survive?"

Li Chen was stunned for a moment and said, "Just because of this, you want to lock us up?"

The high priest said solemnly: "No outsider has come to our Loulan in the past hundred years. If there is no one to guide you, you will not be able to find it here. The fact that you are able to get here means that our warriors outside have been killed by you."

Li Chen's mouth twitched: "Why wasn't your warrior the one who guided us here?"

The high priest looked at Li Chen and said: "If our warriors guided you here, I will definitely give you a token, but until now, I have not found that you have a token from the Loulan warriors in your hand."

Li Chen's face turned a little dark. He hunted geese all day long, but unexpectedly he was pecked in the eye by a goose.

Old Man Lu was not a good person either. When he was leaving, he emphasized to himself not to harm the people of Loulan, but he didn't expect that he would do it to him.

Li Chen shook his head and sighed, looked up at the high priest and said, "Why do you have to show your cleverness in a place like this? If you pretend to be stupid, wouldn't that be good for both you and me?"

Looking at Li Chen's eyes, the high priest felt flustered for no reason. He hurriedly waved his hand to the soldiers in the hall and said loudly: "Come here, take them down."

Li Chen smiled, waved his hand, and the Li Shen Sword appeared in his hand, and then slashed forward, and the seemingly very solid metal cage was cut open by Li Chen.

Only then did the soldiers in the main hall react. They raised their axes and rushed towards Li Chen.

Li Chen shook his head. The combat effectiveness of these soldiers was far inferior to that of those in the Chu Palace.

His figure swayed and disappeared into the cage. When he reappeared, he was already behind a soldier. With just a slight exertion, the soldier collapsed to the ground.

Using the same method, in the blink of an eye, all the soldiers in the hall fainted.

The high priest's expression changed drastically, and just when she was about to speak, Li Chen appeared in front of her, with the Lishen Sword in his hand pointed at her throat.

At this time, the people in the temple were in a panic. Several men picked up the ax dropped by the soldier on the ground, pointed it at Li Chen, and shouted in a panic: "Let go of the high priest!"

Li Chen glanced at them, and then a strong killing intent arose from his body. Those people could no longer stand and collapsed in the hall.

Shaking his head, Li Chen looked back at Hua Ying who was walking out of the cage, and said with a smile: "Go out and inform them to come here, and ask them to try not to hurt anyone."

Hua Ying nodded, turned around and walked towards the outside of the temple. The high priest was in his hands, and no one outside dared to move.

Moreover, there are no masters in the entire Loulan. With Huaying's second-level skills, no one can stop her.

Li Chen then turned around, looked at the high priest, and said calmly: "Why bother? If you don't point it out, we can live together peacefully for a while. Now, you can only become a prisoner."

The high priest is worthy of being the leader of Loulan. After a while, he has calmed down. He looked at Li Chen and asked in a deep voice: "Who are you? What is the purpose of coming to Loulan?"

Li Chen said leisurely: "Loulan has been isolated from the world for many years, and you don't even know my name."

"As for the purpose of coming to Loulan, I am here for the Demon God of War and the Sword of Chi You. So, is the high priest willing to give up my love?"

The high priest looked a little ugly, looked at Li Chen and said, "The Demon God of War and the Sword of Chi You? Are you a descendant of Chi You?"

Li Chen shook his head: "No, I have nothing to do with Chi You. These two things are my own ideas."

The high priest was startled for a moment, and then said: "Then you know how terrifying the Demon God of War and Chi You's Sword are. Once they lose control, the world will fall into chaos again."

Li Chen smiled: "These two things are indeed scary, but they are only for others. For me, they are just two weapons of some use."

"Before coming in, I had a conversation with Old Man Lu, your Loulan Warrior. These two items are huge hidden dangers to you Loulan, so you might as well leave them to me to deal with."

The high priest lowered his head and asked in a low voice: "Is the Loulan warrior still alive?"

Li Chen nodded: "He has no grudge against me. I wouldn't kill him, but I didn't expect that he would mess with me."

Hearing this, the high priest breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at Li Chen: "I'm very grateful that you didn't kill him, but the Demon God of War and Chi You's Sword are of great importance, and I can't give it to you."
