288: The changing destiny of the country!

As the Egyptian Outer Gods retreated, the Mysterious entities from outside the borders gradually receded.

They had originally been forcibly driven here by those Gods; now that the Gods had left, they also did not wish to conflict with the Night Watchers of Great Xia.

Watching the Mysterious beast tide retreat, the Night Watchers finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"The beast tide is retreating."

"We held the line! We held the line!"

"Don't just stand there, hurry and rescue the wounded…"

The Night Watchers, in an orderly fashion, began rescuing the wounded and repairing the pass.

Zhou Ping finally relaxed his mind at this moment; his injuries were also very severe, but in front of Nut, he had to show a strong side.

Now that the Egyptian Gods had retreated, he could finally catch his breath.

Zhou Ping returned to Xuehan Pass, supporting his body with his longsword, then slowly leaned against the city wall and sat down.

Guan Zai and others quickly came to his side, "Zhou Ping, how are you feeling?"

Zhou Ping's pale lips curved into a smile, "It's nothing."

Seeing this, Ye Fan quickly took out a Medicinal Pill from his bosom and placed it into Zhou Ping's mouth.

"Healing is important, stabilize your body first, and then recuperate properly when we return to Shangjing."

Zhou Ping, after taking the Medicinal Pill, nodded, and then a wave of drowsiness hit him; he leaned against the city wall, holding his sword, and fell asleep.

Guan Zai sighed, then carried Zhou Ping on his back and sent him to the medical station.

At this moment, Lu Wuwei walked to Ye Fan's side, "Commander, the situation over there has been roughly clarified."

Immediately, Lu Wuwei recounted his and Song Zhong's encounter from beginning to end.

When he heard that Lu Wuwei had been thrown back by the other party, Ye Fan ungraciously chuckled.

"No wonder, I was thinking how someone as safety-conscious as you would come back without a safety helmet."

Lu Wuwei awkwardly looked at Ye Fan, "Is this matter really that funny?"

"I'm sorry, I couldn't help it." Ye Fan composed himself, then said, "If what Song Zhong said is true, then the purpose of the Egyptian Outer Gods coming to Great Xia this time was actually to rescue Osiris and Shu?"

Lu Wuwei nodded, "At first, I didn't believe it either, but the facts proved that Song Zhong indeed didn't lie to us.

Moreover, the Egyptian God Kingdom, among many mythical systems, is not considered very strong.

Therefore, they cherish their Divine Power very much, and it is understandable that they would come to rescue them when two Nine Pillar Gods went missing together this time."

Ye Fan paced while thinking, "You're right, but I always have a feeling that their visit this time is not as simple as just a rescue."

Lu Wuwei also fell into contemplation, "Perhaps, after this matter concludes, we can conduct a more in-depth investigation!"

Ye Fan nodded, "Then I'll leave this matter to you."

...

In the boundless barren mountains, Amun, who had transformed into an old man, was now prostrating on the ground.

The black scepter had already transformed into a thin needle, stuck into the mountains.

Amun was using this method to detect the Dragon Veins, because Great Xia's National Luck was bound to the Dragon Veins.

There are a total of three main Dragon Veins in Great Xia, arranged in parallel from north to south.

And the divine war that broke out in Cangnan City back then broke the middle Dragon Vein.

These Dragon Veins crisscross, and only with careful investigation can they be accurately found.

Fortunately, Amun was very skilled in this Dao.

"The Qi here is chaotic; although it's a false Dragon, by tracing its roots, one can find the true Dragon Ancestral Land."

Suddenly, Amun's expression stiffened, "Strange, strange, why has this Dragon Vein's Power suddenly strengthened?"

Amun, sensing the anomaly, quickly drove the black needle deeper.

Strands of Divine Power spread out from the black needle, continuously extending and diffusing into the earth.

The solemnity on Amun's face deepened, "This is… the portion of Egypt National Luck represented by Osiris? How could it appear here? Could it be…"

There was only one possibility for this situation: Osiris had fallen in the land of Great Xia.

Therefore, the portion of National Luck that he carried would naturally be swallowed by Great Xia.

Amun felt a little worried; he hadn't expected the situation to change now.

Before he even made a move, Egypt National Luck had already lost a round.

As a God who had mastered the Law of Curse, Amun had a bad premonition.

Perhaps, he should first ask for instructions from Sun God Ra…

Inside Sun City, the four heavily wounded Nine Pillar Gods finally returned to the Sun Plaza.

God of the Yellow Sand Set and Nephthys, the God of Death, looked at their disheveled appearance, their eyes filled with confusion.

"What exactly happened? How did you end up like this?" Set asked, puzzled.

"We sensed the fall of Osiris, did a God from Great Xia make a move?" Nephthys also asked with great concern.

Sun God Ra slowly spoke, "First, place Shu on the Divine Pillar for treatment; we'll discuss the rest later."

"As you command!"

Geb placed Shu into the green light pillar, and the Power Of Faith contained within it immediately seeped into his body.

For the pain of a God, faith was the best medicine.

Watching Shu's body float in the light pillar, Sun God Ra finally relaxed; at least, the life of this Nine Pillar God was safe.

Tefnut and the others also returned to the light pillars to begin healing, and during the healing process, they recounted their experiences in Great Xia in detail.

When he heard that Nut had been severely injured by a human, Set's face showed an expression of disdain.

"Nut, I didn't expect you to be injured like this by a human; you're really bringing shame to our Egyptian God Kingdom."

Set's words precisely hit Nut's sore spot.

"Set, shut your stinking mouth that only spouts sand. You haven't fought that human named Zhou Ping; you have no idea how difficult that guy is to deal with," Nut retorted.

"Haha, really? Nut, don't worry, the shame you've brought will be reclaimed by me, the great God of the Yellow Sand Set." Set didn't believe Nut's words at all, only thinking that he was making excuses for his incompetence.

"Hmph! I hope you can still laugh then."

Boom!

A Divine Might spread out from the central light pillar.

"Enough, this is not the time to quarrel." Sun God Ra's voice carried a hint of anger. "Tefnut, you just said that you didn't see the original Great Xia Gods, but instead met a new God?"

Tefnut nodded, "Absolutely true. That God had been chasing Shu and Osiris, and just as we were about to rescue them, that guy actually tried to take us down with him."

"Yes, that guy was simply a madman," Aisis said with lingering fear.

"Tefnut and Aisis are right, mm." Geb let out a muffled sound; he had been tormented quite a bit by that guy Song Zhong.

After hearing their words, Sun God Ra fell into contemplation.
