Otherworldly Desert Dust-Chapter 531 - 486: Fluke Success

"Trying to run?"

Marquis Changqiu had clearly already ordered people to block the cracks in the Earth Hall, and this time, the two Sheep-faced Warriors he brought were significantly stronger than the previous Black Robed Vajra.

Their fists were like electric drills and their feet like pendulums; each blow caused intense vibrations in the air, making the entire Earth Hall shake.

However, Wu Hen did not plan on fighting.

Since Marquis Changqiu was here on a mission, the more he exposed himself in front of him, the greater the chance Cangling would lock onto him.

After deliberately showing feebleness, Wu Hen attempted a breakthrough.

"Use whatever means you have to break their blockade," Wu Hen said to Taiya.

Taiya was even unclear about the situation, but remembering that this Corpse King had once saved her life, following his advice couldn't be wrong.

"Listen, these people are definitely trying to steal the Abyss Light Yuan You. We can't let them succeed, so we must take the Abyss Light Yuan You away and keep it secure," continued Wu Hen.

Upon hearing this, Taiya immediately understood.

Indeed, there was a group of thieves who wanted to harm the entire Lan Guang Temple.

Taiya recited an ancient spell, and then golden characters surrounded her, enlarging immensely and turning into golden weapons that flew towards the crack in the Earth Hall.

The power of the spell was formidable, pushing back all members of the Black Shirt Organization guarding the crack.

Seizing this opportunity, Wu Hen, Guo Hong, and Lu Xian burst out.

"Taiya, are you insane, as a temple concubine do you not know what you are doing?" Marquis Changqiu roared furiously.

"The temple concubine must have been bewitched, her mind controlled by these villains," said one of the Sheep-faced Black Shirts.

With Taiya's help, the three of them smoothly broke out of the Earth Hall.

As an Eighth-Rank Life, if he really wanted to leave, the people here might not be able to keep him, especially with three powerful assistants.

It must be said that Guo Hong and Lu Xian's strength in this wasteland had already become noteworthy. The Black Shirt Organization was no match for them, especially as they had bought some advanced luxurious equipment in Oasis City not long ago. Facing the siege of the Black Shirt Organization now proved a good occasion to use this equipment.

Guo Hong deployed a blocking device in the Ancient Lizard Pool, which released air walls to not only block the enemies outside but also create optical mirrors that obscured the enemy's vision.

Bursting out of the Earth Hall, though the outside was filled with ambushes, the air walls caused their figures to vanish within the Ancient Lizard Pool, whose innately complex structure, with its light and water, covered the area in a layer of colorful optical mist. With the air wall devices activated, it essentially turned the place into an underground labyrinth, making the enemies' siege extremely difficult.

Marquis Changqiu did not expect that this group had advanced from junks to such sophistication, making the equipment of his subordinates seem somewhat outdated.

He could never let the enemies escape under his watch. Marquis Changqiu immediately communicated with Lan Guang Temple, having the knights join in the chase and seal off the entire temple.

"We can't let them escape Lan Guang Temple," Marquis Changqiu shouted.

Oasis City was actually very large and, with its myriad of teachings and complex internal powers including numerous foreign tribes and countries, even Lan Guang Temple and the Black Shirt Organization lacked the authority and power to completely seal off Oasis City.

Thus they had to capture the enemies within these underground temple grounds.

Unfortunately, there was a major insider within the enemy group, brainwashed by a few words, steadfastly believing they were a Ghost Agent...

No one was more familiar with Lan Guang Temple than Taiya.

Taiya was also used to dodging the Lan Guang Temple knights who regularly drilled and practiced for emergencies; she knew their tactics like the back of her hand.

Under the savvy guidance of Taiya, they hardly encountered any blockages along the way, successfully navigating out of the Ancient Lizard Pool maze, and sneaked out of Lan Guang Temple without anyone noticing.

"Let's go this way; this leads to my favorite roasted chicken shop," Taiya led the way, seemingly thrilled by the adventurous ordeal, her cheeks flushed with excitement.

"Good thing they have food you're not allergic to. I thought you only drank dew," Wu Hen commented.

"That person, I've met him many times after the temple ceremonies, never thought he would actually want to kill me, how hateful," Taiya said.

"Uh..." Wu Hen didn't know how to explain for a moment.

From the circumstances, Marquis Changqiu was supposedly on the side of Lan Guang Temple, theoretically there to protect Taiya.

As for those wanting to harm Taiya...

Wu Hen had a good guess as to who it was.

"Marquis Changqiu is indeed a high-ranking member of the Black Shirt Organization, and he's after Dai Jing and her group. Dai Jing is likely in this Oasis City," Wu Hen stated.

Marquis Changqiu had two suspicions about him.

One was the mysterious Hunter referred from above, which was the reverse pursuit by Cangling.

The other was an ally of Dai Jing.

Naturally, Wu Hen did not want Marquis Changqiu to peg him on that level; he had to play the role of an ally to Dai Jing.

"But we don't know where she is," said Guo Hong.

"I know, follow me," Wu Hen said.

Before at the Ancient Lizard Pool, while searching for Abyss Light Yuan You, Wu Hen had activated his Perception.

After all perceptions were activated, Wu Hen could easily draw the entire structure of Oasis City, including vividly imaging every conversation in his mind.

Although Wu Hen did not hear Dai Jing's voice, he captured a young boy's voice.

This boy was the one previously eroded by Mechanical Cells, to whom Wu Hen had personally handed a Life Pearl; his voice was quite unique and easily recognizable.

With this piece of information, it was enough for Wu Hen.

Considering Cangling was tracing back, Wu Hen did not overly rely on his three strong perceptions and kept only Hearing, then followed the voice to locate the Black Butler boy.

...

An old earthen building, a man whose cheeks were tightly wrapped flashed into the room.

Inside sat a young boy, wiping his weapon.

Not far from the youth, a woman was half-reclining on a pile of food sacks.

"Bad news, the temple concubine isn't dead," said the man as he removed his disguise, revealing a sharply defined face.

This man was none other than the Military Iron Armor Commander from the city wall. His expression was stern, clearly very annoyed by this outcome.

"Good news... the temple concubine you want to kill isn't in the hands of the Black Shirt Organization and Lan Guang Temple either." Suddenly a voice broke in.

At the door, Wu Hen wore a lazy smile, confidently and composedly stepping into this dilapidated secret rendezvous point, with a hand dragging Taiya into this rebel hideout.

The Black Butler boy gasped, staring at Wu Hen as if seeing a ghost.

The Military Iron Armor Commander, on the other hand, showed deep animosity, his eyes glaring fixedly at Wu Hen.

Dai Jing merely expressed a touch of surprise, then a faint smile played across her cheeks, saying, "You really are like a persistent yin soul, are you here for revenge?"

"I am indeed sincerely here to discuss cooperation," Wu Hen answered.

"You kill her, and we'll cooperate with you," said the Military Iron Armor Commander harshly, pointing directly at Taiya.

"Commander Shao, why do you want me dead?" Taiya, on the other hand, was puzzled.

The person who mentioned the Corpse King was him.

The one who bombed her with the Glazed Tile Cannon was also him.

She clearly had no grudge or grievance with this commander...

"Abyss Light Yuan You is a Holy Object of the Black Shirt Organization; it can continuously provide energy to the Black Shirt Organization – energy for weapons, city operations, and the evolution of their massive armed forces. The Lan Guang Temple they support is the provider and user of this Holy Object's energy. To weaken and suppress the Black Shirt Organization, one must start by destroying this Holy Object. A simpler method than destroying the Holy Object is to kill the person who can control and use it, like her," Dai Jing frankly explained why she wanted to kill Taiya.

"But I don't know how to use it?" Taiya was baffled.

"The temple behind you is already in a critical state; in this Oasis City, there are only two people who can use and control it, and one of them is you," Dai Jing said lightly.

"So if I die, then Oasis City will lose the Abyss Light energy, the whole city's defense weapon system will collapse, and Lan Guang Temple will decline as well?" Taiya asked incredulously.

"Yes," Dai Jing nodded.

"You evil heretics, I finally found your headquarters; I'm now going to eradicate you all on behalf of Lan Guang Temple," Taiya immediately activated her mission and she also glanced at Wu Hen, showing her gratitude.

Indeed, she had found the real culprits behind the scenes. They wanted to persecute the entire Lan Guang Temple, even the whole Oasis City!

"Taiya, calm down a bit," Wu Hen stretched out a hand to pull back Taiya, who was about to act on behalf of Moonlight to eradicate the Evil Spirit.

This girl was ridiculously straightforward.

Mainly because she fell right into the deception he crafted for her, which just happened to come true here.

"Oh, do we still need to interrogate those behind the scenes at a higher level?" Taiya asked.

"Well, you can indeed understand it that way," Wu Hen nodded.

"Alright... I won't eradicate them yet," Taiya said.

Hearing this, Dai Jing burst into laughter.

She chuckled until her body trembled, then looked at Wu Hen and said, "She really matches you well, innocently adorable. I don't care whether she lives or dies, as long as Abyss Light Yuan You is not in the hands of the Black Shirt Organization or Lan Guang Temple, my goal is achieved."

Abyss Light Yuan You was currently in Taiya's arms.

When she fled from Earth Hall before, Taiya had been holding it all along.

She had essentially stolen her family's Holy Object.

Of course, theoretically, this object belonged to Wu Hen; he just could not extract it or touch it, temporarily having Taiya hold it for him.

"Do you want to absorb the Abyss Light Yuan You? I can help you, but what can you do for me?" Dai Jing naturally saw what Wu Hen was thinking.

"I have some grudges with the Black Shirt Organization, I'm not clear on the composition of Lan Guang Temple, but for the Black Shirt Organization, I can handle it for you," Wu Hen said.
