Recently, the Tianhun Empire invited Mu En, the head of the Sea God Pavilion of Shrek Academy, to mediate and ease the serious conflicts between their two empires.

But they didn't expect that Mu En was still in seclusion, which made things more tense. Even the people around him chose to stay at home and live elsewhere.

The houses seen along the way were the same after Tang Lan's repeated inspections, with no signs of life.

This place has become a no-man's land.

"The famous wasteland is ahead. There are some tips on the way. You better sit tight!"

Seeing the sun gradually setting to the horizon, Che Tu, who was sitting in the front, suddenly reminded Tang Lan and others.

Tang Lan had already seen the barren land on the map. After crossing the barren land, the famous Qingshan City was less than thirty miles away.

The reason why this place is called the Desolate Land is because of the great war that took place here when the Heaven and Earth Empire was divided.

According to historical records of Shrek Academy, after the split, the Douling Empire and the Tianhun Empire deployed hundreds of thousands of troops and fought here for three full months.

Both sides dispatched countless powerful soul master corps for this purpose.

For a time, the mountains and rivers were broken and the earth was scarred. Even though so many years have passed, this place has not changed much.

The most important thing is that the breakthroughs in soul guides made by various parties during that period of time made rapid progress.

In the last period of time, even the powerful soul guide cannon was used.

Ordinary soldiers in it will be killed in less than an hour. This place can be said to be a real battlefield meat grinder.

It was not until decades later that the real reason gradually became known to the world.

It turned out that the Tiandou Empire was split into two empires, and the powerful soul guides used in the war between the two empires were actually secretly supported by the Sun-Moon Empire.

They were far away on the other side of the ocean, selling their soul guides in exchange for various conditions.

To this end, the two empires almost consumed more than half of the national strength of the former Tiandou Empire, and also made the Sun and Moon Empire across the ocean unprecedentedly powerful.

Only in the end did a war break out between the two continents.

"Stop, where are you from? No one is allowed to enter here without permission, go back quickly!"

Tang Lan and his group's carriage team had not gone far when they were stopped by a group of soldiers from the Tianhun Empire.

The leading sergeant rode his horse and circled the carriage for a long time before starting to drive it away.

"Go, lift up the carriage curtain for me. I want to see who's in there and who's so arrogant!"

Seeing that Tang Lan and others did not react at all, the sergeant immediately gave orders angrily.

Then, six soldiers went to the troika and tried to lift the curtains of the carriages.

"Humph, open your dog eyes and see what this is!"

However, the next moment, Ma Xiaotao's cold snort came from the carriage.

Tang Lan turned around and saw Ma Xiaotao taking out a token from her ring. There was a lotus pattern on the token, and it was made of pure gold.

The sergeant took it and glanced at it casually, seemingly not taking it seriously. But a few breaths later, the guy fell off his horse with a thump.

Then he crawled to the carriage where Tang Lan was, knelt down and begged for mercy, "I didn't know you were here, I didn't recognize you, please spare my life, spare my life!"

Tang Lan looked out through the gap in the window and clearly saw that the soldier's crotch was wet.

After seeing the token clearly, this guy was so scared that he wet his pants.

But even so, the other party did not dare to move at all.

Seeing his men standing there at a loss, the sergeant cursed, "You stupid people, why don't you roll over here and kneel down? Do you want to implicate your own people?"

Upon hearing this, the ordinary soldiers were terrified and quickly knelt on the ground with their heads buried in the ground, not daring to lift them up.

"Let's make it up. You will escort us through this place. We are going to Qingshan Town to stay for the time being!"

Ma Xiaotao sighed lightly, forgiving these people's sins.

"Little man obeys!"

The sergeant respectfully handed the gold medal to the coachman, who then passed it to Ma Xiaotao.

Then he rode on a fast horse and led his men to gallop ahead, shouting as he went, "The Imperial Master is here, everyone make way, anyone who disobeys my order will be executed!"

His voice echoed over and over again in this desolate land.

The soldiers and generals of the Tianhun Empire had to stand respectfully on both sides of the road, not even daring to look up at the carriage.

The Tianhun Empire has clear status regulations. Rebellion is a serious crime, not to mention offending a big figure like the National Master who is second only to the emperor.

Everyone knows that the honorary imperial teacher of the Tianhun Empire is Mu En, the current head of the Sea God Pavilion of Shrek Academy.

It was the position of the Imperial Master of Destiny that the previous emperor had specially bestowed on Mu En in gratitude for his kindness, and he also sent people to forge three golden identity tokens exclusively for the Imperial Master.

Later, he announced to the world that anyone who saw the imperial teacher Jin Ling was like seeing the emperor, and that the three armies could be mobilized to execute the enemy first and report later.

It can be said that almost everyone in the Tianhun Empire knows that the national teacher is a high-ranking official of Shrek Academy.

This time, he should be heading to the imperial city of the Tianhun Empire, so all soldiers need to give way to him and perform escort duties.

But after leaving the deserted land, Ma Xiaotao ordered these people to go back.

By the time everyone arrived at Qingshan Town, the sun had already set, with only a little red glow shining in the sky.

But the town here is extremely lively. If Tang Lan didn't know that this is a small town, looking at the bustling scene of people coming and going around, he would have thought it was a small city.

The reason why Qingshan Town is so lively is ultimately due to the barren land.

As everyone knows, the Desolate Land is a strategic location. No matter whether it is the Douling Empire or the Tianhun Empire, as long as they occupy the Desolate Land, then the road ahead will be flat.

Both sides were able to advance dozens of miles a day, thus gaining the initiative in the battle.

To this end, the Tianhun Empire focused on building Qingshan Town, less than thirty miles behind the wasteland.

Although it is a town, the scale of the buildings here is indeed comparable to that of a small city.

Not only are there a large number of troops stationed around it, it is also the place for logistics supply for the Tianhun Empire.

In addition to the soldiers of the Heavenly Soul Empire, there are also a group of bounty hunters here. (End of this chapter)

Chapter 917 The Arrival of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion

They usually take on various missions, including hunting soul beasts, escorting important people or grain transport convoys.

As a result, this place attracted many businessmen, and over time it became a rich place.

"This is it, the Dusk Inn!"

"This name is really appropriate. It was dusk when we arrived here. What do you think of Tang Lan? Should we live here?"

Ma Xiaotao jumped off the carriage first, glanced around the surroundings, and pointed to the inn beside the road.

The inn is a very grand building with four floors and two big red lanterns hanging at the door.

Soon, a servant came out to greet them. He smiled and said, "My lords, do you need to stay in a hotel? We have everything in the hotel, including food, drinks, and hot water. I guarantee you will be satisfied!"

"In that case, let's live here!"

"You guys go and help them settle the horses."

Tang Lan winked at He Caitou, Huo Yuhao and others.

The meticulous Huo Yuhao immediately understood what Tang Lan meant. He turned around and followed He Caitou, following the three coachmen towards the stable on the side of the inn.

This place is no longer under the control of Shrek City.

As the saying goes, when you are out there, you must be vigilant, especially when you come to this inn, because there are many people and eyes inside.

If you are not careful, you might run into some people with bad intentions.

The three coachmen were different from them. They were all ordinary people, so Tang Lan naturally had to be more careful.

After entering the inn, Tang Lan found that the first floor was very lively.

It is now dinner time. All the soldiers, merchants, and even soul masters from various forces passing through here have gathered here.

In addition, a strong aroma of wine filled everyone's sense of smell.

Even for someone like Tang Ya who doesn't like to drink, her cheeks turned slightly red just after she smelled it.

Tang Lan looked at the girls like this and found them somewhat cute.

But he still took the girls upstairs first, and the waiter arranged accommodation for Tang Lan and others.

Tang Lan and his group of eleven people quickly found a room on the third floor.

"Senior, did you feel the unfriendly looks from those people just now?"

"These guys don't look like good people. We'd better be careful at night."

Wang Dong saw that Tang Lan did not return to the room, but stood above looking at everything below, so he came up and whispered.

This inn adopts the most basic U-shaped architecture, and you can see the scene below from the upstairs.

"Oh? I noticed what you said. I should be more vigilant."

"I didn't expect you to be so vigilant. I feel relieved now."

Tang Lan looked at Wang Dong with a gentle smile.

Seeing Tang Lan's look again, Wang Dong felt a little embarrassed for a moment and had to lower his head.

Because Wang Dong has always had many secrets, which even Tang Lan didn't tell him.

But now, she actually felt a little guilty, because Tang Lan was so good to her that he even gave her his soul bone.

But there are some things, including her life experience, that she herself hasn't figured out, so how can she tell others?

For a moment, Wang Dong's mind was a little confused and his mood became slightly depressed.

"What are you thinking about?"

"Some things, even if you can't figure it out now, will surely come naturally in the future. There are always more solutions than problems. We are getting stronger all the time, aren't we?" At this moment, Tang Lan's hand gently tapped Wang Dong's head.

Seeing that Wang Dong looked a little sad, he comforted him in time.

"Senior, actually I am..."

Wang Dong seemed to have made up her mind and she wanted to say something.

But Tang Lan interrupted him and said, "We've been traveling all day, and everyone must be tired. You should go back to your room! I'll ask the waiter to bring up the food."

Just like that, everyone agreed with Tang Lan's decision.

We decided to have a simple dinner in our respective rooms, and it would be better to try not to show up down there tonight.

At night, the moon is high in the sky, with only the whistling night wind.

Tang Lan sat cross-legged on the bed with his eyes closed in meditation, but at some point he suddenly opened his eyes.

Tang Lan's powerful perception immediately allowed him to sense a breath of air for several seconds.

But this aura is not from a human, but from a soul beast.

"It's this guy. How did it get here? Did it come here specifically to follow us?"

Tang Lan muttered to himself and gradually fell into deep thought.

At this moment, that aura approached again, and Tang Lan actually felt that this guy was going straight to Huo Yuhao's room.

"Three-eyed Golden Lion, I didn't expect you to follow me here."

"I didn't expect that everything would happen after all. Since you are so interested in the human world, I will help you."

Tang Lan's voice slowly fell, and then the whole person suddenly disappeared from the window.

Tang Lan summoned the ancient dragon martial spirit, and the huge dragon wings flapped behind him, and he was already in the air behind the inn.

After taking a quick look around, he soon discovered the three-eyed golden lion, which had shrunk to the size of a rabbit.

No wonder so many people couldn't find it. Not only did this guy shrink in size, but he also hid his aura.

After discovering this guy, Tang Lan said, "Three-eyed Golden Lion, what are you doing here? I let you go last time, you should cherish your life."

Then, the three-eyed golden lion spoke the truth: "Human, I don't want to be your enemy. This time I just want to meet that kid and talk to him."

Ever since the Three-Eyed Golden Lion learned about many things and emotions of humans from Huo Yuhao’s memories, it could no longer stay peacefully in the Soul Beast Forest.

She felt that this was the life she was supposed to live, and she longed to be human.

However, as a lucky beast of the Star Dou Great Forest, she has her own mission, which is to protect all soul beasts and help them grow quickly.
