Free Web NovelChapter 1642: Chapter 1728: Countless Crises
In this dire situation, where survival is at stake, it’s already a crazy endeavor.
"Blade Emperor, I remember you telling me before that the Saintess is in this Great Desert. Now that this sandstorm is approaching, can she escape?"
Su Xuan was just standing at the Dragon Gate Inn’s watchtower, using binoculars to observe the area. What he saw was somewhat alarming. The sandstorm was sweeping in from four directions, creating an unprecedented scene. It’s conceivable that anyone in the middle of this desert would have no way to escape, and the only thing that might help them weather this crisis is the so-called Dragon Gate Inn that claims eternal survival in the desert, but even it might not withstand this ferocious onslaught.
The desert beasts also seemed to sense the danger, converging from all directions towards the center, which made Su Xuan feel greatly uneasy. Human nature in the face of survival is indeed crazy.
At this time, Su Xuan also thought of the Saintess. The main reason he came here this time was to find her, but so far, there has been no sight of her, and Su Xuan doesn’t even know who the Saintess is.
"If I’m not mistaken, the Saintess has already gone underground to possibly find the tomb, but I don’t know if she succeeded. When my father found me, I asked them to head into the passage!"
The Gu Emperor said softly.
Su Xuan nodded, realizing there was no other way.
As Su Xuan walked through the corridor, he glanced at the thousands of people inside Dragon Gate Inn. Most of these people held significant status and positions in society; the majority were leaders. Yet, at this moment, they seemed oblivious to the impending danger, continuing to drink and wonder if they could benefit from the storm.
Su Xuan never expected these people to help him much; they were merely like sand scattered aimlessly.
"Truly the singer who knows not the hatred of a fallen nation, singing songs of leisure across the river!"
Blade Emperor looked at this guy, still feeling frustrated. After he spoke, Su Xuan helplessly smiled and said,
"These people originally came to take advantage; you shouldn’t expect too much help from them. However, you could try; a few of them still have some spirit!"
Su Xuan rubbed his nose, knowing well that if he couldn’t handle these people, it would be impossible to fend off those madmen from Japan just with him and a few others.
Su Xuan couldn’t believe coexistence was possible this time. The people from Japan might even kill all of Di Lingtian’s people because they want the greatest secret hidden in this desert. Once they obtain it, they naturally won’t let others know, so everyone will die.
"Everyone, silence, please!"
Su Xuan suddenly used Dark Strength to speak, and though the inn was noisy, everyone clearly heard him, causing them to stop involuntarily. Then, someone said,
"Crazy, does he fancy himself the Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch?"
"Exactly, ignore him. Let’s drink."

The human heart is truly complex. Su Xuan sighed helplessly, knowing that more than half of the people here disapproved of him.
"Do you think this is just an issue between me and Blade Emperor, damn it... a bunch of bastards!"
Su Xuan was also angry and directly cursed.
"Why are you insulting people? Who do you think you are!"
A man with a face full of viciousness looked at Su Xuan and said angrily.
"Damn it, I just called you a bastard, what are you going to do about it? Do you have a problem with me calling you a bastard?"
Su Xuan retorted bluntly. For these people who mind their own business, Su Xuan felt he shouldn’t take everything upon himself as they were too self-righteous.
When Su Xuan spoke harshly, that guy was left speechless. They knew to some extent whether Su Xuan could fight or not, at least not even the Jade-faced Divine Sword seemed a match for Su Xuan, so they dared not provoke him easily.
"Alright, alright, young man, calm down. Everyone, don’t get overly agitated; we’re all in this together now!"
Blade Emperor quickly said.
At this moment, a man rushed in, shouting.
"Blade Emperor, it’s not good—someone’s challenging us again!"
"Damn it, who is it now? Won’t it ever end!"
Blade Emperor was really exasperated. These people wouldn’t stop; they kept coming here, making it ridiculously melodramatic.
"Ignore them, let them come in!"
Su Xuan suddenly rubbed his nose, thinking these people always assumed they wouldn’t be attacked, so now let them understand what danger truly means.
Su Xuan could guess without going out that it must be the experts from Japan coming. Those guys were very confident, believing that of all the heavens and earth, theirs was the greatest, with immense confidence in their martial arts. They might not come to destroy Dragon Gate Inn but to intimidate these people.
"Mr. Su, they don’t intend to come in; they’ve set up an arena outside!"
"Ha, turns out it’s really like that!"
Su Xuan rubbed his nose, then returned to his room, crossed his legs, and decided to ignore it.
Outside, curses and shouts spewed derogatory terms like "sick man of East Asia".
"Young brother, what are they trying to do?"
"Heh, it’s simple—they want to subdue us without a fight. Japan has never changed; they love to subdue without battling. Setting up this arena today aims to make those clowns go out and fight them, inducing fear for the imminent attack."
"What should we do? If this continues, we probably won’t have any fighting strength left!"
"Heh, do you think this scattered sand counts as fighting strength?"
Su Xuan sighed helplessly. These people were like dead dogs with no one daring to step out. They all looked at each other, then everyone turned their gaze to Su Xuan’s room. In their view, Su Xuan was so powerful that if he didn’t fight, who else would be suitable to do so?
