I traverse America, using holy light to quell American terror!

The moment Li Yuan finished speaking, a glint flashed in Grace's eyes.

A deep blue halo emanated directly from beneath her feet.

Like flowing water, it swept past the group of Imperial Guards.

The next second, before the Imperial Guards could react,

Except for Ades, all the Imperial Guards had a glint of blue in their eyes!

He then stood there blankly, unresponsive.

Ades, the only one who wasn't affected, was still unaware of what had happened.

He looked at Li Yuan in front of him with a puzzled expression, then waved his hand behind him and said:

"Let's get started."

However, the surrounding desert was silent, and no one responded to his command.

Ades turned around in alarm, looking at his subordinates behind him.

Upon seeing their stunned expressions, Ades quickly raised the gun in his hand.

He pointed at Li Yuan and roared:

"What kind of witchcraft do you use? Who are you people?!"

"Oh? Interesting! You didn't fall for it?"

Li Yuan didn't answer Ades, but instead surprisingly praised him.

Then he turned to Grace behind him and gave the following instructions:

"Let them rest; they might have to dig again tomorrow morning."

Grace closed her eyes and nodded slightly.

He then took control of a dozen or so members of the Imperial Guard and slowly lay down in a sheltered spot.

In no time, he began to snore.

Ades, Evelyn, and the others stared at the bizarre scene, their mouths agape.

They stared in astonishment at the restrained Imperial Guards, thinking they were seeing things.

Li Yuan looked at Ades again and said softly:

"You're quite special. Would you be interested in becoming my servant?"

Li Yuan was very interested in anyone who could escape Grace's control.

I am very much looking forward to Ades joining my army of servants.

Although Ades was very nervous, he still shook his head firmly.

"I refuse."

Ades responded firmly:

"I have already dedicated my life to Hamunaptra, which has been guarded for generations."

As he spoke, Ades tightened his grip on the gun and said to Li Yuan:

"I wasn't lying, there really is a curse hidden inside!"

"I will stop you from entering Hamunaptra no matter what, even if it means death!"

"What a pity."

Li Yuan sighed in disappointment.

Then he raised his head and asked Ades:

"Ades, waking Imhotep shouldn't be that simple, right? Do we need to use some kind of method?"

Upon hearing Li Yuan's words, Ades's eyes narrowed slightly.

A bad feeling crept into his heart, and he quickly said in a low voice:

"That's true, but I'm not going to tell you under any circumstances!"

"Oh! Is that so? How about I guess?"

Li Yuan wore an expression that said he had already seen through the truth.

With a smile, he teased:

"I guess we need to get the Book of the Dead to awaken Imhotep, right?"

Knowing the plot all along, Li Yuan directly revealed the key item needed for resurrection.

This made Adles' eyes widen immediately.

However, he did not admit to Li Yuan's guess, and stubbornly denied it:

"No! He doesn't need the Book of the Dead! Your guess is wrong!"

"It's no use lying to me, Ades."

Li Yuan teased Ades in a soft voice.

Then he slowly walked towards him and softly expressed his thoughts:

"If your goal is to prevent Imhotep from being resurrected,

The best solution would be for me to take the Book of the Dead.

"Unless someone opens the Book of the Dead in Hamunaptra, Imhotep will never be able to rise from the dead."

Upon hearing Li Yuan's suggestion, Ades was momentarily tempted.

This was originally his idea, but he hadn't found a suitable candidate yet.

Thinking of this, Ades looked at Li Yuan with a complicated expression.

He asked in a heavy tone:

"What makes you think I should believe you?"

Li Yuan smiled and pointed to the Imperial Guards who had been knocked down by Grace.

He asked with a light laugh:

"Do you have any other choice but to believe me?"

Ades was speechless upon hearing this.

However, considering the unpredictable abilities of the enemy's subordinates, Ades could only sigh softly.

He then nodded and said:

"Okay, I agree with your approach."

But I hope you can release my men, okay?

Ades hadn't held out much hope for this request; he'd only mentioned it casually.

To his surprise, Li Yuan nodded and agreed without hesitation.

"no problem."

Li Yuan smiled and instructed Grace behind him:

"Grace, let them go."

Grace, having received the order, slowly opened her eyes.

The blue light in his eyes slowly faded, and his control over the Imperial Guards also disappeared.

The group of imperial guards, who had been fast asleep, awoke a few moments later.

When they realized that they had somehow ended up sleeping on the floor,

Their faces all showed a confused expression.

Seeing that Li Yuan had indeed released his men, Ades felt a little relieved.

He nodded slightly to Li Yuan and said in a deep voice:

"Sir, I believe you."

Given their abilities, killing them all should be effortless for them.

But the other party actually kept their promise.

This made Ades completely lower his guard.

He paused, then asked Li Yuan:

"Sir, may I know your name?"

Li Yuan smiled and nodded, then introduced himself:

"Li Yuan, an exorcist."

"Exorcist..."

Ades silently recited Li Yuan's profession, and his heart became even more convinced of his own thoughts.

Just then, Benny, who had been staring in disbelief,

With a thud, he knelt down on the ground, bent over, and shouted to Li Yuan:

"Mr. Li Yuan! I, Benny, swear!"

From now on, I'll follow you! I'll never have any disloyalty!

Seeing this, Li Yuan was startled.

His lips twitched involuntarily, and he silently grumbled to himself:

"This guy probably said the same thing to his last employer, right?"

Even so, Li Yuan did not intend to kill him immediately.

Instead, they planned to make the most of him and deal with him after he finished his work as an excavator tomorrow.

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Li Yuan's face.

He said softly to Benny:

"Of course, Benny, I forgive you for what you just did."

Banner felt as if he had been granted a pardon; he prostrated himself on the ground and kowtowed twice.

He shouted loudly at Li Yuan:

"Thank you! Thank you, Mr. Li Yuan, for not holding a grudge! Benny will definitely not let you down!"

Li Yuan shook his head and chuckled, not caring about Benny's attitude.

Instead, he turned and waved to the crowd, saying:

"Everyone, get some rest. I'm really looking forward to tomorrow's Hamnata trip."

Now, Li Yuan just wants to wait until tomorrow morning to enter Hamunaptra and find those two legendary scriptures!
