Bang! Sha Eroy stomped the ground in anger, looking at the eye of the earth vein before him, his eyes full of rage. Wanyan Shahe had deceived them; he never intended to build a "wall".

Wanyan Shahe used the Sand King Hall to control the earth veins, gaining sand loam, and constructed a massive Yellow Sand Giant Army.

He controlled the earth veins and possessed endless spiritual power. As long as the area was radiated by the earth veins, it was under his control.

Wanyan Shahe attempted to use the Yellow Sand Army to capture Yellow Sand City and other boundary fortress towns, expanding the radiation range of the earth veins, to revive the Desert Empire from a thousand years ago.

"The Sand King Hall is too weak!"

Through the eye of the earth vein, Wanyan Shahe saw Sha Eroy and High Priest Shaqian on the other side.

The Sand King Hall only wanted to establish a Desperate Great Wall stretching tens of thousands of miles on the western desert's border to block the Da Zhou Dynasty's army.

After separating the western desert from the Da Zhou Dynasty, the Sand King Hall could reunite the scattered tribes across the western desert under the grand ambition of the Desert Empire, forming a new Desert Empire.

Even if it failed to form a new Desert Empire, the Sand King Hall would have supreme status in the western desert, commanding a third of the land, and becoming the desert's local emperor.

As for Wanyan Shahe, he wanted to reclaim all the territories occupied by the Da Zhou Dynasty in the western desert, relying on his Yellow Sand Giant Army to contend with the Da Zhou Dynasty.

After controlling the earth veins, Wanyan Shahe felt omnipotent, with endless power, not even knowing the limits of his strength.

His ambitions inflated due to his newfound power.

Sha Eroy said furiously, "I should never have let him control the earth veins."

High Priest Shaqian appeared very composed, seemingly unaffected by Wanyan Shahe's actions.

He didn't even glance at the angry Sha Eroy, silently observing the eye of the earth vein, as if he could see Wanyan Shahe at the earth vein's center through the chaotic-colored eye.

Sha Lan couldn't help but say, "Without letting him control the earth veins, we have no other candidates. Wanyan Shahe is the last remaining royal descendant of the Desert Empire, only he can unleash the inherited power of the royal bloodline."

"Endless Sand Realm..." Sha Eroy thought, realizing that the Endless Sand Realm was the power within the Desert Empire's bloodline, a powerful spatial divine technique.

As long as Wanyan Shahe followed the Sand King Hall's plan, using the power within the earth veins and sand loam to unfold the Endless Sand Realm, he could establish an insurmountable high wall stretching tens of thousands of miles.

"No rush, let's wait a bit longer." High Priest Shaqian gave one last look at the eye of the earth vein before turning to leave, saying.

Upon hearing this, Sha Eroy calmed down, carefully pondering the high priest's words, yet couldn't grasp the meaning behind them after a long contemplation.

He looked at Sha Lan and asked, "What does the high priest mean?"

Sha Lan rolled her eyes, "How would I know? Don't overthink it. Since the high priest said there's no rush, let's wait."

She turned to leave the stone chamber where the eye of the earth vein was located, heading towards the Sand Forbidden Chamber, as she still needed to "educate" Sha Tong, who almost caused a great calamity earlier.

Sha Tong is too young and impulsive in his actions.

If he really had killed all those guards from Yellow Sand City, the Da Zhou Dynasty's army would likely appear at the Sand King Hall's gate in no time.

The Da Zhou Dynasty is just waiting for an excuse to mobilize its troops and conquer the western desert.

...

In front of the Yellow Sand City tower.

"You came from Black Sand City? Does that mean you're the person Second Sister mentioned?" Chu Tiange stared at Lu Yu and asked.

"Hmm? What do you mean?" Lu Yu asked curiously.

"You don't know?" Chu Tiange noticed the confusion on Lu Yu's face and explained, "Second Sister sent me a message, saying she found an earth vein in Black Sand City and that a Divine Weapon Pavilion disciple knows about it as well."

"Aren't you a disciple of the Divine Weapon Pavilion? Isn't it you?" Chu Tiange asked in confusion.

"Second Sister?" Lu Yu racked his brain but couldn't recall any woman he'd interacted with. Shaking his head, he said, "Maybe you're talking about someone else."

"But I do know about the things beneath Black Sand City. The one who entered with me was a guy..."

Lu Yu's voice gradually diminished.

Thinking back to Chu Tianhe's several peculiar behaviors in the desert world, Lu Yu asked unsurely, "Is your Second Sister called Chu Tianhe?"

"Yes."

"...," Lu Yu said helplessly, "Then there's no mistake. What your Second Sister mentioned was indeed about me."

Chu Tiange, keenly aware of the "guy" Lu Yu mentioned, began to have guesses, almost fully understanding the situation.

"What's the current situation in Black Sand City?" Chu Tiange asked.

Compared to others, Lu Yu, who had left Black Sand City, should be more aware of the city's current situation and also know Chu Tianhe's current circumstances.

Lu Yu said, "Black Sand City is currently under the control of the Sand King Hall. The original City Lord is missing, and now it's leaderless. Various factions are plotting for the City Lord's position, and the city is in great chaos."

Upon hearing this, Chu Tiange's face immediately showed signs of worry. He quickly asked, "What about my Second Sister?"

"Before I left, Chu Tianhe had already returned to the Hidden Dragon Commerce Association. There were considerable losses of guards during the previous exploration of the earth veins, and her security force might not be strong. However, there seems to be a master in residence at the Hidden Dragon Commerce Association, so she should be safe."

When Lu Yu was with Chu Tianhe, he noticed a powerful presence within the Hidden Dragon Commerce Association. It did not conceal its existence, deliberately releasing its strong presence to deter any nearby ill-intentioned individuals.
