Chapter 187: Two Armies Confronted

Returning to the fifth floor of the Haotian Tower, it was still as dead silent as last time. Apart from the sultry heat, there was not even a breeze. The air was so dry that it felt like the wind was blowing through your throat.

But it is this environment that has become a paradise for the Sand Clan.

As Zhou An appeared, a sand whirlwind appeared in the desert in front of him. The Sand King floated above the sand whirlwind and asked calmly: "How are you going to deal with me?"

"Do you like it here?" Zhou An was surprised to find that Sand Emperor no longer had the hostility he had at the beginning.

“Yes, survival has always been our top priority. I know that the Sand Clan’s survival characteristics have made us the absolute natural enemy of most creatures in this world. Over the years, we have tried our best to restrain ourselves and avoid conflicts with the creatures in this world.

But once the number of Sand Tribe people increases, the desert will inevitably spread, and this emperor can do nothing about it. The spirit race is born and raised by nature, and we cannot control it ourselves.

For the survival of my clan, I even went so far as to destroy some newly born sand spirits. Even so, the surrounding creatures did not let us go and kept slaughtering my clan. In their eyes, the existence of my clan meant destruction.

After fighting with the surrounding tribes for more than two thousand years, we were killed many times and only a few of us are left. This emperor has been wandering in this desert with his people to avoid being hunted down by other tribes.

This resentment and humiliation accumulated, and eventually I was unable to control myself. I turned into a sand demon and began to attack the races that attacked us.

Unfortunately, the Sand Clan is only one race after all. How can we resist the union of hundreds of races, not to mention that there are countless races in the vast outside world? We were destroyed once again, and I was sealed in the Sumeru Sand Gourd.

Emperor Kaiyuan could have killed me when he sealed my soul with the Haotian Mirror, but he said that in the future I would meet someone who could solve the Sand Clan’s survival problem.

The world here is the most ideal living environment for my Sand Clan. Even if the power is sealed, at least my people can reproduce and thrive without having to worry about survival. "

Zhou An was surprised, and at the same time, he inexplicably felt a little wary of Emperor Kaiyuan. He had figured out all this a long time ago.

"After Emperor Kaiyuan sealed you, has anyone ever unsealed you and taken away the Haotian Mirror?" Zhou An asked.

"No, if the Haotian Mirror was taken away, this emperor would definitely know it." Emperor Sha looked very sure and answered Zhou An's question without hiding anything.

After all, the hope of survival of the tribe now lies in Zhou An's hands, so he must bow his head. Compared with being hunted down by hundreds of tribes back then, this time's bowing is nothing.

"One last question. As long as you answer it sincerely, I will leave this level to the Sand Clan. If we find an independent planet suitable for the Sand Clan to survive in the future, I can also send you there." Zhou An said.

Although the Sand Emperor didn't know what a planet was, he roughly understood the meaning. He dispersed the sand whirlwind, knelt on one knee and saluted Zhou An, saying, "Thank you, Emperor."

Zhou An could hear the true meaning of this thank you, as well as the bitterness of many years.

"Well, get up. What do you think of Emperor Kaiyuan? What kind of person is he?" Zhou An asked.

“I only met him once when Emperor Kaiyuan sealed my clan. He is a man of great bearing. Among all the clans, only he is worthy of the title of emperor.

I heard a lot of rumors about him back then. He conquered all races, opened up rivers and forests, and allowed all races to recuperate. It was also because he calmed down the wars between all races that the Kaiyuan Empire was founded. If it weren't for the issue of survival, even I would be willing to join the Kaiyuan Empire."

There was obvious awe in Sand Emperor's tone towards Emperor Kaiyuan, as well as deep helplessness and resentment.

"Well, just stay here with peace of mind. I will do what I promised you." Zhou An prepared to leave.

Emperor Sand suddenly said, "Emperor Kaiyuan was not a human, and no one knew what race he was. At the time, most people said he was a spirit, followed by a demon. Emperor Kaiyuan never publicly stated his race."

Zhou An was surprised. He nodded slightly, then cast a spell to let the Haotian Tower send him out.

In the study room of Kongling Immortal Mansion on Sky Island, Xing Yan was the first to ask, "What's going on?"

When Zhou An told everyone the information he had obtained, everyone was surprised and fell into deep thought. Where did this jade and silk book come from and who drew it?

After a while, Shangguan Rong said, "It may not make much sense to ask the minister who sent it. They got it from the auction. It has been in their family for many years. I am afraid that the auction house no longer exists."

Hua Wu Yue said: "We still need to explore the Tianyuan Mountains to know the answer."

"Lingsha has been investigating the things left behind by Madam Baigu recently. Zi Yan and Zi Xuan, you two go and check it out. Zi Qiong will stay here to continue to comprehend new skills and new magic weapons." Zhou An said.

"Yes." The two women responded.

Shangguan Rong warned: "Remember to be careful, the appearance of this Jade and Silk Book reveals something strange."

"Understood." After the two women took their leave, they called on two teams of purple-clad guards to fly away.

Seven days passed quickly. Today was the day when Miro and Yuan Zhen had an appointment to fight. Zhou An and Hua Wu Yue came to the sky above the border of Huangzhou together to watch the fight.

Also with them were the other members of Shenyin, hiding above the clouds and watching.

This is the Gobi Desert. The nearest city is more than a hundred kilometers away. Moreover, this city was abandoned several months ago and everyone moved to a new city that is more suitable for living.

Therefore, they chose to fight here, so that even if there is some noise, it will not affect ordinary people.

Crown Prince Yuan Heng personally took command and led an army of three million to this Gobi Desert.

He had heard from his master about the abilities of the Demon Emperor Qianyuan. Although he admired the abilities of the Emperor Qianyuan, he was able to kill Immortal Yufeng because of the Eight Desolate Divine Fire Formation, not the Demon Emperor's own abilities.

In addition, he now has the support of so many monks and powerful people, plus his own talent, and the four treasures he has newly acquired, including the Golden Dragon Sword, which makes him full of energy and vigor. He sees himself in the future as being on par with Emperor Kaiyuan, or even surpassing him.

Rule the entire world and establish an immortal dynasty.

When the army arrived at the border of Huangzhou, there was a Gobi Desert in front of them and endless yellow sand in the distance. It was hot and dry, filled with the smell of death.

He threatened to all the countries in the five states that if they won the duel, they would lead their troops straight in and take over Huangzhou first.

Just as he was thinking about his bright future, a stream of light fell in front of him, revealing the demon general Qianyuan.

Miro and Rosa walked to the front, followed by the King of Ten Thousand Demons and the General of the Eight Desolations, as well as the eight generals' subordinate demon generals. There were only a few hundred people in total, and the gap in numbers between the two sides was completely disproportionate.

Seen from a distance, it looked like Miro and Rosa standing in front were like a mantis trying to stop a chariot. People who didn't know the situation would really laugh at them for overestimating their own capabilities.

Zhou An naturally would not let ordinary troops participate in such a war. The military supplies and manpower required for the army to cross the desert were too great. Knowing the significance of this war, there was no need for him to waste these.

So much food is enough to feed the total population of several large cities. Even if Zhou An gets countless funds and ingredients by signing in everywhere, there is no need for him to waste them here.

Seeing the battle between the two armies, the Nine Mysterious Goddess who was watching from the clouds sarcastically said, "Emperor Qianyuan is really stingy. Doesn't he even pretend to be nice?"

Zhou An smiled and said, "Everyone knows the strength of my Qianyuan soldiers. To deal with the coalition forces of the four states, it is enough for the demon army to dispatch the Eight Desolate Generals."

"Arrogant." Empress Jiuxuan snorted coldly, but she knew in her heart that without external aid, the strength of the Qianyuan Demon Tribe was enough to crush the coalition forces of the four states.

It is called the Four-State Coalition because the Ice and Snow Empire of Bingzhou is connected to the north of Qianyuan, so there is no need to go far away to join the coalition. The Ice and Snow Empire has already assembled a large army and is ready to march to Binghai Pass again, but this time Jiuxuan Mountain and several major sects will provide support, and they will not be scared away like last time.
