Chapter 1236 - Attack or Defend?

Chapter 1236 Attack or Defend?

“I will do my best.”

Luoyun nodded in response. In high spirits, a formidable aura of energy instantly rose from him, and he said, “I’ll live up to Sword Sect’s great reputation!”

If Fang Qiu were here, he would be amazed.

This young man called Luoyun was a guru!

“Go ahead.”

The old man nodded with a smile.

In this way…

Huaxia sent a team headed by Luoyun to Egyptt.

For Huaxia…

Fang Qiu could only be regarded as a specially engaged agent. It would not be suitable to refer to him as “Special Envoy of Huaxia,” a title that he held when he was in Zhongdong.

Compared with John Doe…

The core strength of Huaxia was the Sword Sect!

It was the top organization in Aesia, a crucial and central force that could be trusted unconditionally.

However…

Very few people knew anything about the Sword Sect!

In Egyptt…

The Egyptt government panicked as the major forces of the world took action, one after another.

Like Huaxia, Egyptt also had its metahuman circles and large-sized forces connected to the government!

As the host…

As soon as a large number of Holy Fruits appeared in the area within nobody’s jurisdiction, they noticed it and sent some people to observe the phenomenon.

In no time, the news about the appearance of the entrance of an ancient relic also reached their ears.

For the Egyptt government…

Initially, they didn’t want to get involved in this matter at all. No matter who set up such a trap, it had nothing to do with them. They just needed to ensure that the people from forces worldwide wouldn’t hurt anyone.

But now…

The emergence of the entrance to the ancient ruin instantly attracted the attention of the higher-ups in Egyptt.

In the center of Kairo…

Soon, five people gathered in the conference hall of a high-rise government building.

Three of them were dressed in suits. At first glance, one could tell they were government officials, but the other two were dressed rather oddly. One looked very much like a primitive person, just like the people from the primitive tribe that Fang Qiu came across when he first came here, but this person held a sharp javelin made of black iron in his hand!

The other was wrapped in some simple yellow and white strips of cloth. There were three strips of yellow cloth with circles on his arms, each of which measured about a finger’s width.

His feet were also bound with three circles of white cloth of the same width. He wore a white vest and a pair of white knee-high bloomers. All in all, he was particularly eye-catching.

“What’s the situation now?”

The five people were sitting around the conference table. One of them, a middle-aged man in a suit, pointed to the magnified picture of the scene projected to the screen and asked.

“Why would an ancient relic crop up?”

“No one expected the appearance of this ancient relic.”

“We need to confirm whether this ancient relic is real and how we should deal with it next?”

The three senior government officials turned around and focused on the two people as they spoke.

“The relic is real.”

The man holding the javelin stared at the picture and added, “Besides, it’s probably the relic of a Pharaoh!”

“The relic of a Pharaoh?”

As soon as he said that, the three senior government officials froze.

“Exactly what I was thinking.”

The man with the cloth stripes tied on his body said, “But it shouldn’t be the ruin of a Pharaoh. Even so, we can’t afford to lose it.”

“You mean to attack?”

One of the higher-ups asked.

On their side, the two men in outlandish clothes exchanged glances.

The man with the javelin immediately shook his head and said, “We can’t attack them. The major forces in the world are not easy to trifle with. With our current strength, we are no match for them. But we should inherit what is in our territory. Even if they want to rob it, we must have a share.”

“That’s right.”

Another person nodded and said, “It’s an Egyptt relic which belonged to our ancestors. Compared with foreigners, we have an advantage they don’t have: our ancestors’ inheritance. With this support, we must find the key to the relic and enter before those foreigners.”

“I believe those foreign forces would not dare to fight with us.”

The javelin-wielding man said with a cold expression, “If it’s an ancient relic of a Pharaoh, I can summon Anubes.”

There…

Fang Qiu stood ten meters from the light curtain and carefully observed the murals as they changed, trying to find the key to the transformation of the murals.

Just then…

“Buzz, buzz, buzz…”

The phone in his trouser pocket suddenly vibrated.

In the past, every time Fang Qiu went abroad…

His mobile phone would be turned to vibrate mode or switched off. This time, he didn’t turn it off because he needed to contact Li Ji and get more information.

He took out his phone to take a look.

Sure enough, it was Li Ji.

“Hello?”

Fang Qiu moved and retreated quickly. With his Divine Consciousness, he scanned his surroundings. After he made sure that no one was around, he answered the call.

When talking on the phone in such a complicated environment, Fang Qiu controlled his internal Qi and formed a soundproof layer around him, which completely isolated his voice from the outside world.

“What’s the situation over there?”

Li Ji came straight to the point, “I heard an ancient relic was found?”

“I’m right before it.”

Fang Qiu immediately nodded and responded: “The ancient relic’s entrance appeared, but I’m not too sure about what is happening now.”

“Um.”

With a nod, Li Ji said, “Now, the news has spread far and wide all over the world.”

“So fast?”

Fang Qiu was surprised.

“We are in the information age.”

Li Ji replied with a smile, “Our leaders have sent some people there.”

“Really?”

Fang Qiu was startled.

“They’re members of the Sword Sect. Take care of them if it’s convenient.”

Li Ji said.

“No problem.”

Fang Qiu nodded.

Frankly…

He had always been curious about Sword Sect’s members. What kind of organization was Sword Sect? And what did its members look like? Why was it so mysterious?

“You’re alone there. Be careful.”

Li Ji’s voice came again, “Last time, the ancient relic found in Huaxia was a great shock to all the people worldwide. Many countries and forces feared us, so they chose to stay put, while they waited for the first group to analyze the situation. To their dismay, a guru in the first batch was killed. Therefore, they all gave up the idea of venturing into Huaxia. Things are different now. Egyptt is not strong enough to intimidate all forces around the world. As a result, all forces, including Northern Ou, have sent some people there in the first place.”

“Really?”

Startled, Fang Qiu asked, “Even people from Europa are coming?”

“As far as I know, there are many of them.”

Li Ji nodded and said, “Yes, and there are people from top-ranking forces. The top forces I’m talking about are not like the four great families well-known in Wulin. I mean, they are the best ones in each continent!”

He explained in detail.

Fang Qiu was startled.

Immediately, he laughed bitterly and said, “It’s getting pretty wild. Even the top-notch forces of continents are attracted.”

“The situation this time is different. You should be more cautious than before.”

Li Ji reminded him again.

“Understood.”

Fang Qiu nodded knowingly and hung up the phone.

When Fang Qiu put away his mobile phone he still had a wry smile on his face.

Sure enough…

Judging by those who arrived in Huaxia, he knew how interested they were in ancient ruins. However, it had never occurred to him that even those tiptop forces were attempted.

“Top forces of each continent?

“How preeminent would they be?”

With that in mind…

Fang Qiu took a deep breath.

“Even if this ancient ruin was a trap set up by Nirvana Organization, we have no choice but to get into it.”

“At the very least, this ruin hasn’t yet been opened. No matter what the ultimate goal of this trap was if there are any treasures here, they must end up in my hands!”

With that in mind…

Fang Qiu secretly clenched his fists.

Looking back at the light curtain, Fang Qiu began to worry about the people of the primitive tribe.

They had left in the afternoon but were only invited to see their temporary residence. So, they hadn’t taken away the things they used. Moreover, their only way of making money was to produce medicine for malaria. Without income to survive, it was very likely that the primitive tribes would return to find a way of making medicine or even come here to collect herbs.

At that time…

They would be in peril.

Thinking of this, Fang Qiu immediately rushed back. He had to ensure that the primitive tribe evacuate and move as far as possible!

In the beginning…

The news that a relic’s entrance appeared only circulated among the major forces. They all knew that once this news was made known to the public, it would draw more opponents and trouble. Therefore, of one accord, they kept it a secret.

However…

That night…

A post with this breaking news suddenly appeared on the world underground-force forum.

“The entrance of an ancient ruin was found in Egyptt!”

There were even photos taken from various angles in the post.

It was unknown who leaked the news.

Nevertheless, as soon as it was released in public…

It immediately caused a sensation throughout the underground forum.

In addition to the major forces, many individual practitioners and metahumans worldwide became overly enthusiastic when they saw the news.

It was an ancient relic!

For experts, it meant a rare chance to become a supreme expert and obtain a vast treasure.

For those who were less potent, it was an opportunity to amaze the world with a single brilliant feat!

Undoubtedly…

Such an opportunity was hard to come by for all metahumans. The remarkable thing was that this relic was not in Huaxia but in a place under no one’s jurisdiction, which meant they could act without scruples.

For a time…

In a mad rush, countless people on the underground forum began posting crazily to team up with other experts who were headed for the ancient relic together.

In a fever of enthusiasm…

They all went wild.

It seemed as if the ancient relic was within easy reach, and they could get it without much difficulty!
