566 Deep mine source cave
Yunxiao sneered when he saw the crowdâs fearful eyes on him. Then, he said to Ying Lin and the other leaders, â âItâs rare for everyone to wait for me here and not leave. How can I thank everyone for this young masterâs concern?â
Everyone could hear the sarcasm in his words, and they looked at each other helplessly.
âItâs good that youâre fine, boy. If something happened to you, the deal between us would be over,â tan dijun said with an embarrassed smile.
âHmph!â
Yunxiao snorted lightly as he clenched his fist in the air. The northern heaven cold star sword suddenly flew back into his hand, and a sword beam as cold as water bloomed in the air, pointing at Zhen deyou as he said coldly, â âDo you still remember what I said just now? you really deserve to die.â
Zhen deyou was shocked by the sword ray and retreated continuously. He had watched this man kill a seven-stars martial venerable with one sword and destroy an eighth-rank demonic beast with one punch. He could not compete with either of them.
In fact, Yunxiaoâs strength had been greatly overestimated by the crowd. Fang Tianhe was killed by the Thunder tribulation of a ninth-tier profound artifact. Although the power of the imperishable golden body was very strong, the key was that the monster had exhausted its demonic power and was already an arrow at the end of its flight.
But, the visual effects of the two attacks were so shocking that even tan dijun and Ying Lin did not dare to provoke Yunxiao, let alone Zhen deyou. His face changed drastically with fear, and he quickly hid behind elder Sima.
Tan dijunâs face changed drastically. He stepped forward and said,âElder Zhen was indeed in the wrong. Iâll have him apologize to you.â
âApologize?â
I almost lost my friend because of this, â Yunxiao sneered. how can an apology end this? â Tan dijun, youâre getting more and more humorous.â
Tan dijun was so angry that his eyes bulged, but he did not dare to argue with Yunxiao, so he said angrily, â âThen what are you going to do? I wonât let you kill elder Zhen!â âWhy donât I compensate you with some vitality stones?â he suddenly thought of something and asked.
He knew Yunxiaoâs character very well, and he seemed to be very friendly with primordial stones.
âHmm, I can consider that.â
As expected, Yunxiaoâs eyes lit up as he immediately put away the northern heaven cold star sword and said, â âHow much?â
Everyone felt dizzy. So this could work too. The bargaining between tan dijun and Ying Lin had already made everyone feel uncomfortable. It seemed that money could do anything. Even a martial venerable could use Yuan stones to buy his life.
Tan dijunâs heart ached. He knew he was going to be extorted again. He said,âLetâs put it aside for now. When we find the treasure, weâll settle the deal together with the first two deals we made. How about it?â
He thought to himself,âwhen the time comes, Iâll let senior brother Zhang linghua negotiate with the kid. With a Martial Emperor in charge, heâll be able to suppress him and prevent him from asking for an outrageous price.â
âAlright!â
Yunxiao was rather straightforward. He stared coldly at Zhen deyou and said, â âIâll hang your head on your neck for now. Whether I take it away or not will depend on how many origin stones your sect is willing to pay for you. If youâre not worth tens of billions in their eyes, then Iâll just take it away!â
Zhen deyouâs face turned pale. Although he was angry and ashamed, he was helpless. Dignity was important, but many people valued their lives more.
Tan dijun felt dizzy. Although Yunxiaoâs words were directed at Zhen deyou, he was undoubtedly telling him that the problem could not be solved without tens of billions of primordial stones.
He felt that he couldnât handle this person at all, so he shook his head and said, â letâs go quickly. If we can find the southern Fire golden crystal source, these few primeval stones wonât make a difference.
His words immediately gave all the surviving cultivators some hope and courage. After experiencing such a difficult life and death situation, they were probably about to see the light.
Ying Lin and the others looked at each other and didnât say anything. They lowered their heads and continued walking.
The whole team was divided into four parts: local forces, Chamber of Commerce forces, itinerant cultivators, and the last part was Yunxiao and tongxuan. The two of them smiled wryly, and tongxuan said gratefully, â âThank you,â she said.
âItâs fine,â Yunxiao chuckled.
It was just two simple sentences. Some people and some things didnât need to be said too much.
After the battle with the mud monster, everyone was listless.
young master Yun, you have too many responsibilities on your shoulders, â Hanxuan said. I hope you wonât risk your life to save me like this next time, or Iâll feel uneasy.
donât worry, â Yunxiao said with a smile. thereâs no danger ahead.
âEh? How did young master Yun find out?â Hanxuan found it strange.
The conversation between the two men was in a normal tone, so everyone could hear it clearly. They were all surprised and wanted to hear Yunxiaoâs opinion.
donât you see those fools from the Chamber of Commerce walking in the front? â Yunxiao laughed. When were they at the forefront when there was danger?â
âThis bi an ...â
Hanxuan was stunned for a moment, then came to a realization. âI see!â
Everyone also revealed a look of understanding. This was indeed the case.
Ying Lin was very angry. He snorted angrily, flicked his sleeve, and continued to speed forward, not wanting to listen to Yunxiao anymore.
Yunxiao smiled and formed a team with Hanxuan. They crossed a few more mountains and finally came to an open area, where withered plants and sparse trees began to appear.
âA land with a mine vein must be barren. This place looks good.â
Xiao Minghui gazed into the distance and said, â âThere seems to be no life force in front of us, and thereâs a faint fire element. Itâs indeed a mineral vein. Weâve been in Southfire city for so long, yet we didnât know that such resources were hidden in the Deathlands.â
Everyone quickly jumped up a mountain in front of them and looked down. A large area of fiery red appeared on the surface of the mountain, extending into the distance with no end in sight!
âMagnet! Itâs actually such a huge mine!â
Everyone was shocked and looked over in horror. This mine vein appeared directly on the mountainâs surface without any concealment. Visually, it was not much worse than the few existing mine veins in South Fire City.
All the major forces were shocked and suspicious. Why would the thunderwind Chamber of Commerce provide such a large mine vein? this was definitely not their style.
âWeâve investigated this mine, and itâs at least one of the top five mines weâve discovered so far. Itâs also been confirmed that the source of Southern Fire golden crystal is right under this mountain range,â said Gao Lin with a profound tone.
Xun Zhiming said, â President Xun, you should be more direct. Why are you giving away such a huge advantage? donât tell us that youâre learning from others. Weâre all adults.
Iâve been kind enough to serve everyone, â Gao Lin said unhurriedly. but you donât appreciate it. Youâll see for yourself when you go to the mountain.
Tan dijun took the lead and flew up to the peak of the mountain. The crowd waited until Gao Lin and the others had also left before following closely behind. They all remembered what Yunxiao had said. Only when the people of the Chamber of Commerce left first could they prove that there was no danger ahead.
When everyone arrived at the peak of the mountain, they looked down and saw a bottomless black hole in the middle of the most red ore. Strong astral winds kept blowing out of the hole, bringing with them an extremely strong fire element. Some martial arts grandmasters felt that they were struggling to resist.
Yunxiao looked at the black hole and said, â âThereâs actually astral winds. Although theyâre not too strong, theyâre enough to prove that this place isnât simple. From the activity of the fire element, there was indeed a Southern Fire golden crystal source within the black hole. However, he sneered a few times and said,âCould there be a ninth-rank demonic beast inside?â
Everyone was shocked and secretly thought of this possibility. Otherwise, the thunderwind Chamber of Commerce wouldnât have made this treasure land known to everyone. Everyone was suspicious.
A ninth-rank demonic beast was an existence comparable to a human expert of the nine Heavens realm! Killing them was as easy as killing dogs!
Tan dijunâs face was also serious. If there was really a ninth-level demonic beast, even Zhang linghua wouldnât be able to drive it away.
The group of people all stared at Gao Lin. He was the only one who knew the situation best.
donât worry, â Ying Lin smiled and said, â there are no ninth-rank demonic beasts here. As for the rest, I wonât say much. Information is very valuable. If you are willing to pay tens of billions of primeval stones, I can consider telling you.â
âHmph, if there arenât any ninth-order monster beasts, then it must be a dangerous place.â
âWhoâs willing to go down with me?â tan dijun said.
Since the thunderwind Chamber of Commerce could get the information, so could he.
The people from the local forces looked at each other. Finally, Xiao Minghui and Xun Zhiming stepped out and were willing to go down together. The rest of the martial artists were obviously not strong enough.
As for those itinerant martial artists, it was even more impossible for them to follow and throw away their lives.
Tan dijunâs eyes fell on Yunxiao as he said, â âYoung master Yun, are you interested?â
not interested, â Yunxiao said with a smile. Iâm not interested. The southern Fire golden crystal mines that are scattered all over the mountains are enough to satisfy me. With experts like you eyeing the southern Fire golden crystal source, I donât dare to have any ideas about it. â
His insincere words immediately attracted a wave of disdain.
Tan dijun didnât force him. weâll go down and have a look, â he said. Iâll have to trouble young master Yun to take care of things up there. He was naturally referring to the people of the Chamber of Commerce. With Yunxiao here as a deterrent, he expected that Junlin would not dare to do anything to them.
After saying that, the three of them flew down into the black hole one after another.
The rest of the martial artists looked at the southern Fire golden crystal mines that were exposed on the mountain. Their eyes were all shining. It would be best if they had the southern Fire golden crystal source, but it didnât matter if they didnât. The things in front of them were enough for them to exchange for the vitality stones they could squander in their next lives. They excitedly ran all over the mountain and began to dig.
When martial artists mined, it was different from when ordinary mortals mined. They used all kinds of skills to smash the ground and pull large chunks of Southern Fire golden crystal ore into their rings.
Yunxiao, on the other hand, was very calm. He had been standing on the top of the mountain and watching everyoneâs actions, as if he was indifferent. Hanxuan followed his lead and naturally didnât move.
âBrat, youâre quite calm. Could it be that youâre also waiting for that Southern Fire golden crystal essence?â asked Ying Lin in surprise.
not even the president has moved, â Yunxiao said with a smile. why should I? â In short, I believe in the presidentâs wisdom, so he definitely wonât be at a disadvantage. If I follow the president, I naturally wonât be at a disadvantage.â
