Chapter 99: The Priest of Bakhidar

In the room.
"I have a vague feeling that the Nine September's goal might also be this compass," furrowed 'Emperor of Shadows' Li Xiaogong, "After I came here, I searched for treasure information in the Persian Gulf area but did not find any treasures that meet the goals of Nine September."
"And that compass, as you have heard from Fake Nine September, is a treasure from thousands of years ago. Although it is not certain whether it is a treasure from the ancient Xilan period, the possibility cannot be ruled out."
Li Xiaogong glanced at September as he speculated, but September, as a woman with great acting talent, showed no signs of anything unusual. She simply sat on the bed silently comforting Tumida.
"Xiaogong makes a valid point, but apart from the fake news about September Heaven, there is no other information related to September Heaven yet. Let's wait a little longer, we still need to deal with the matter of that fake September Heaven."
Just as Liuxing finished speaking, his phone in his pocket started to ring. It seemed like there was already a result.
Liuxing took out his phone and answered the call, "Hello, Xiaofei?"
"Sir, I have extracted a confession from them through rigorous interrogation. They admitted to colluding with NH Company inside and out! I also gave them a good beating," Xiaofei's voice came through.
"I see, then you should hurry back."
Liu Xing breathed a sigh of relief, and Qi Xiaosa and Baozi jumped up to celebrate.
"I can't go back now, they brought a group of people to catch me! Forget it, Master, I have to hang up!"
"Hello?! Xiao Fei!"
At this moment, September suddenly spoke up and asked, "Since the NH company has bribed the local police, wouldn't it be very dangerous for us to continue staying here?"
A few people present immediately realized the grim situation they were in.
"Oh, Xiaoxue is really clever. It looks like we need to move quickly," said Qixiaosa seriously. "Everyone, let's pack up our things."
"There's actually nothing much to tidy up. We just arrived in the Persian Gulf this afternoon, and then hurriedly went to the NH company to wait for Jiuyue Tian at night. Our luggage hasn't been touched yet." Li Xiaogong explained, "Miss Xiaoxue, do you have anything that needs to be organized?"
September shook her head and said, "There's nothing to tidy up."
Liu Xing nodded and said, "Then let's hurry up and leave, so that we won't have more trouble as the night gets longer."
The group carried their luggage downstairs and settled their bill, when suddenly the issue of transportation came up.
"We will definitely get stuck by the checkpoints if we take a taxi. How can we leave this city?" Ryusei pondered.
September pointed to a nearby shop that rents camels, "That means of transportation looks good."
Everyone followed September's direction and looked.
"Camel? Indeed, this city is built around the desert, and the people from NH Company cannot block all our escape routes. There must be some negligence, as long as we ride the camels and run into the desert, we can get rid of those people," Qi Xiaosha agreed.
Then, under the monetary offensive in September, the boss readily rented camels to them.
Liuxing, Li Xiaogong, and Dazhuang each rode one, Qixiaosa and Baozi rode one together, and Jiuyue and Tumida rode one together. The five camels headed towards the edge of the city.
After some exploration, a few people successfully left the city and entered the desert area.
Meanwhile, September and Tumida, who were walking at the back of the team, started whispering to each other.
"Put the compass in your bag, you are safe now," September said.
Without saying a word, Tumida held the compass and responded to September with silence.
"You still have your guard up against us," September whispered into Tumida's ear, "If I had any ulterior motive for your compass, I wouldn't have let you go last night."
"You? Who are you?!" Tumida turned around in shock and looked at September.
"Don't be so shocked. I'm not angry about you using my name," September gently embraced Tumida, not letting her turn around. "I suppose you impersonated me to retrieve the compass and divert NH Corporation's attention away from your village."
"...Okay."
"Don't worry, I won't take your compass, but I need you to take me to meet the elder of your family. I have some questions about the compass that I want to ask." September explained.
Timida fell into silence again, silently pondering the truthfulness of September's words in her heart.
In the desert, Li Xiaogong, Qixiaosa, and September all pretended to be unable to bear the heat, sweating profusely despite their extraordinary abilities.
Although they escaped the Persian Gulf and were temporarily safe, the vast and endless desert once again put them in a difficult situation.
High temperatures and inadequate water sources.
Liu Xing stuck out his tongue and said, "It's so hot, I feel like I'm melting..."
Qi Xiaosa also said with an expression of unbearable attitude, "If we continue like this, we won't even need to be caught by NH company. We will also quit."
Baozi even lies flat and mutters with his mouth, "I haven't gotten married yet......"
Li Xiaogong covered his head with his hand and looked into the distance. Everywhere was endless yellow sand, and there was no trace of an oasis to be found.
Even Li Xiaogong, who had the dimension wall as a trump card, felt uncertain. They couldn't find the traces of the oasis hidden by the Tumida people in the desert, and they lacked supplies. If Tumida did not lead them to the oasis like in the original, they would definitely be in trouble after a long time.
Fortunately, after thinking for a while, Tumida chose to believe September's words.
"How about coming to my place..."
"Oh, can I?" September asked curiously.
Luxing also finally breathed a sigh of relief, "You finally believe us, we really have nothing to do with NH company. By the way, we don't know your name yet."
"Tumida."
Speaking, Tumida pointed in a direction, "Go this way."
After walking for an unknown length of time, the group finally saw a hint of green in a yellow desert.
As they approached, the whole view of the oasis came into their sight.
"The oasis ahead is where my people take shelter temporarily," Tumida explained, "Let's go, my grandmother Bakhidar is a friendly person."
Upon hearing this name, September immediately remembered the advice Dr. Q gave her before she came to the Persian Gulf:
"If you are clueless about finding relics in the Persian Gulf, you can try looking for the local priestess Bakhita. Her family seems to have a deep connection with the ancient Kingdom of Xiran. I had a brief encounter with her, but I heard she has recently gone missing."
Unexpectedly, I stumbled upon the priest I was looking for here. Wait, Tumida mentioned that the compass has been passed down for thousands of years, and their clan has a connection with the ancient kingdom of Xilan. Could it really be, as Li Xiaogong said before, that the compass is a treasure handed down from the ancient Xilan period? Could it be that what it is pointing to is...
九月一瞬间思绪万千，直到走到了村子大门口。
两个大婶和两个小孩站在村子门口，其中一位大婶问道：“图米达，你怎么带陌生人回村里。”
"Auntie, they are good people."
"Well, you take that girl into the village first, and the others will be searched."
After saying that, Auntie stopped Liuxing and Li Xiaogong.
In September, he turned back and smiled at them, then went to meet her grandmother, Bakhitari, with Tumida.
Tumida pushed open the door of a bungalow and walked in, with September following behind, smiling.
"Grandma, I'm back and I also brought a compass with me."
On the wooden bed in the room, an old grandma with white hair and dressed like a priestess frowned unhappily, "Didn't I tell you that you cannot bring any outsiders into the village?"
Tumida hurriedly explained, "Grandmother! If it wasn't for this sister, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to come back."
"Bakidhar High Priest, it was Mr. Q who asked me to come seek your help," September said respectfully.
Upon hearing the name of his old friend, the Bakhidar priest opened his eyes.
"Ah, yes, here is the compass. I will return it to you," September reached into her bag and took out the compass.
Just as September was about to hand the compass to the Bakhidar priest, the mysterious compass suddenly emitted a bright light and made a buzzing sound.
This abnormal reaction instantly stunned September.
And the priest Bhaktar, who knew the truth, burst into tears.
The response of the compass, could it be... the master our clan has been waiting for for thousands of years...
Once he thought of this, the priest Qibdhar quickly got off the bed.
Then, a scene that shocked Tumida and September appeared.
Priest Qibdhar knelt down before September with both hands, knees, and head, prostrating himself in a gesture of deep reverence.
"My esteemed master, the royal family of Kuslan, please accept my most sincere blessings!"
"Welcome back to your homeland!"
The Bagicar priest stood up and explained, "This is your noble Kuslan Kingdom."
It was not until then in September that Jiuyue finally reacted, looking at Bahidarl with a puzzled expression.
The ancient Sillan royal family? Me?
