Nothing Was More Reliable Than a Surprise Attack

The meteorite iron mine was vast, but even facing such a massive meteorite iron mine, Ma Liang's Ten Thousand Ghosts Grand Formation was completely unaffected.

Almost instantly, everyone in the entire meteorite mine was enveloped by the Ten Thousand Ghosts Grand Formation and subsequently controlled by the vengeful ghosts.

The many managers at the meteorite mine were also dumbfounded.

When Xu Wei, the chief steward of the Meteorite Mine, saw the vengeful ghost suddenly appear, he thought that the Demonic Sect was about to attack the Meteorite Mine.

But Xu Wei quickly realized that this was impossible.

Have the Demonic Sect gone mad?

Our Vast Heaven Sect became the first person in a thousand years to step into the Martial Divine Realm, and now our Vast Heaven Sect is invincible in the world.

How much have the Demonic Sect drunk that they would jump out at this time to attack our Vast Heaven Sect's properties?

But when Xu Wei saw the Ghost Emperor floating in the void, he understood... It wasn't the Demonic Sect... It was our Vast Heaven Sect's Ten Thousand Ghosts Grand Formation.

And in this world, only Ma Liang is capable of controlling the Ten Thousand Ghosts Grand Formation!

But the problem is, wasn't Ma Liang on Xinghe inspection tour?

Why did Ma Liang appear in the south?

Before Xu Wei could figure out what was going on, Ma Liang had already controlled the Ten Thousand Ghosts Grand Formation to gather everyone in the entire meteorite iron mine together. When Xu Wei saw Ma Liang, he was completely dumbfounded.

Others might not recognize Ma Liang, but how could Xu Wei, as the Grand Steward, not recognize him?

This was indeed Ma Liang, and Xu Wei recognized the man beside Ma Liang —wasn't he An Lan from the Dark Moon Palace?

Ma Liang and An Lan stood on either side, while in the middle stood... Wang Tieniu?

What the hell is this combination?

Just as Xu Wei was stunned, Chu Xinghe removed the Fox-Pattern Mask from his face. The moment the mask was removed, not only Xu Wei, but everyone in the entire meteorite mine recognized his identity.

But at this moment, the entire meteorite mine was in a state of complete confusion. Why was Senior Brother Xinghe here?

Wasn't Senior Brother Xinghe on a northern inspection tour? How did he end up in the south?

What happened to the promised Northern Tour?

I heard that Chu Xinghe is going on an inspection tour on behalf of the sect leader, and the whole north is going crazy.

I've heard that the preparations for this event in the entire north are even more elaborate than before.

After all, a sect leader's inspection tour requires going every few years, but Xinghe inspection tour is completely different.

A core disciple inspecting the sect on behalf of the sect leader was something that had never happened before in the history of the Vast Heaven Sect, but no one thought there was anything wrong with it.

After all, Xinghe's Future position as sect leader is absolutely unshakeable.

So is there any problem with letting Xinghe familiarize herself with it beforehand?

Therefore, the people in the north really put in their best efforts for this Xinghe inspection, and everyone was dreaming of making a good impression on Xinghe.

But who could have imagined that Chu Xinghe would suddenly appear in the south, and even at the meteorite iron mine? What the hell is going on?

"Xinghe greets Deacon Xu..." Chu Xinghe stepped forward and bowed to Steward Xu Wei.

"Ah... Xinghe, why did you come to the South? You didn't even give us a heads-up. We... we didn't prepare anything..." Xu Wei quickly walked to Chu Xinghe's side.

Upon hearing Deacon Xu speak, the entire meteorite mine erupted in excitement.

Chu Xinghe?

Is this our Senior Brother Xinghe from the Vast Heaven Sect? Countless people stared wide-eyed at Chu Xinghe.

"Quickly, prepare the best tea and snacks..." Deacon Xu instructed his men as he prepared to lead Chu Xinghe inside.

Faced with Xu Wei's invitation, Chu Xinghe smiled and said, "There's no need for tea or snacks. Xinghe 've come here on official business, so please arrange for someone to show me around, Deacon Xu. I need to see all the details and accounts of this meteorite mine."

If Xu Wei was wondering why Chu Xinghe was in the south just a moment ago, Xu Wei expression changed after hearing Chu Xinghe's words.

Not only Xu Wei, but countless managers present also had their expressions change drastically.

The news of Chu Xinghe tour had been widely circulated for some time. Just a few days ago, everyone was saying that Chu Xinghe tour was both an opportunity and a test for the north.

The opportunity goes without saying; who in the world doesn't know Chu Xinghe's methods?

Look at the four branches of the Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce; every time Xinghe makes a move, it's incredibly wealthy.

Many people believe that if Xinghe can seize this opportunity, he will become incredibly wealthy, but if he fails to do so, he will be doomed.

People both envy and worry about the northern regions.

But no one expected that Chu Xinghe wouldn't go north at all, but instead descended directly into the south. Furthermore, with the Ten Thousand Ghosts Grand Formation activated, anyone with a modicum of common sense could tell that Chu Xinghe's visit was definitely not for leisure; he was here to get serious.

If they had received advance notice of Chu Xinghe's arrival, things would have been fine. With the capabilities of the people at the Meteorite Mine, wouldn't they have made perfect arrangements?

Chu Xinghe arrived without any warning. The meteorite mine was completely unprepared. Inspecting it now? Wouldn't that be a death sentence?

Xu Wei quickly said, "Xinghe... you must be tired from your journey. We should treat you to a welcome feast today. Tomorrow morning, I'll personally show you around the entire meteorite mine."

Seeing Xu Wei's panicked state, as if he had lost his egg, Chu Xinghe knew that he had made the right decision to come!

Tomorrow? I don't understand at all... I'm here to find problems, and then amplify them. If I gave you a whole day, wouldn't you be working day and night to resolve them clearly?

What a joke I'll get to see tomorrow?

"Thank you, Deacon Xu. But the journey has been arduous. Let's not delay any longer and take a good look at the situation at our meteorite mine."

"Ma Liang... use the Ten Thousand Ghosts Grand Formation to protect all areas. We can't afford any trouble at this time."

"Don't worry Senior Brother Xinghe!"

Upon hearing Chu Xinghe speak, the scene descended into chaos.

Xu Wei now understood... Chu Xinghe's sudden arrival was definitely well-prepared.

With the Ten Thousand Ghosts Grand Formation instantly enveloping the entire meteorite iron mine, it could be said that at this moment, every move of the entire meteorite iron mine was under Ma Liang's control.

Anyone who dares to act recklessly will be shown the power of the Ten Thousand Ghosts Grand Formation by Ma Liang in no time.

Xu Wei, who had always been as calm as a rock in the meteorite mine, was truly panicked at this moment.

While others might not know the situation at the meteorite mine, surely Xu Wei knows?

This is a meteorite iron mine... Faced with such a treasure trove, from Xu Wei, the steward, to an ordinary disciple, there are very few who can be considered truly clean.

In the past, when the sect leader made his southern tour, Xu Wei would receive the news in advance and make preparations accordingly, taking care of all sorts of messy matters.

However, this sudden attack by the Xinghe gave the meteorite mine no chance to prepare... Xu Wei, who was usually calm, was now pale.

Not only was Xu Wei terrified, but almost everyone in the entire meteorite mine was filled with fear.

Seeing the terrified expressions on the faces of everyone at the meteorite mine, Chu Xinghe was ecstatic.

See... there's no safer way than a surprise attack.

Although I haven't even seen the condition of the meteorite mine yet, I, Chu Xinghe, already know how filthy this place is.

Do you think I'm joking about you taking the throne and making a southern tour on your behalf?

If I catch you doing anything underhanded, rest assured, I will amplify it to the extreme and announce it to the world.

If we don't let the whole world know about this mess of our Vast Heaven Sect, and if we don't damage the sect's reputation, then I, Chu Xinghe, will consider it a loss.

Ma Liang, watching Senior Brother Xinghe from the side, couldn't help but sigh.

Senior Brother Xinghe is indeed someone who cannot tolerate any flaws.

You don't even need to examine the meteorite mine closely; just by looking at the expressions of the people there, you'll know that the matter at the meteorite mine is definitely not trivial.

How many parasites must be hiding here? You parasites never expected that Senior Brother Xinghe would launch a surprise attack.

You're all doomed this time!

Although Xu Wei was extremely unwilling, Chu Xinghe had come on behalf of the sect leader, and in a sense, Chu Xinghe's words were the sect leader's words at this moment.

Even if Xu Wei had a thousand times the courage, he wouldn't dare disobey the sect leader, would he?

So, despite his discomfort, Xu Wei still began to introduce the meteorite mine to Chu Xinghe.

What about the enormous output of meteorite ore mines...?

How much profit does it generate for the sect every year...?

Conditions at the meteorite mine were very poor; everyone endured incredibly hardship...

Anyway, Xu Wei was complaining non-stop at this moment.

Xu Wei first led Chu Xinghe into the mine and personally demonstrated how to mine meteorite ore...

After observing the collection, Xu Wei led Chu Xinghe to the mine's giant warehouse. When the warehouse door opened, mountains of meteorite ore were piled up inside.

Xu Wei explained that these meteorite ore stones already had buyers.

Of course, the best meteorite ore must be reserved for the sect.

But when Xu Wei brought Chu Xinghe to the place where he said he was going to hand over the best quality meteorite iron ore to the sect, Chu Xinghe was dumbfounded.

Along the way, Xu Wei had been constantly explaining to Chu Xinghe the differences in quality among various meteorite ores.

Xu Wei explained in great detail what constitutes a good product and what is a defective product.

However, when they arrived at the highest quality meteorite ore prepared for the sect, the situation became somewhat out of control.

Because what appeared before Chu Xinghe at this very moment, the so-called highest quality meteorite ore... was actually all defective?

This scene left not only Chu Xinghe stunned, but even Xu Wei was dumbfounded.

Um... Deacon Xu, are these the highest quality?

As Chu Xinghe remained silent, Xu Wei's smile vanished, and his gaze suddenly fell upon a young man following at the very back. As the Grand Steward of the entire Meteorite Mine, no one knew the situation here better than Xu Wei.

Normally, everyone guarding the meteorite iron mine could embezzle a little or do some petty tricks without much trouble. But Xu Wei never dreamed that someone would dare to tamper with the high-grade meteorite iron ore being transported to the sect, something that even he, the head steward of the mine, was unaware of?

No wonder Xinghe suddenly appeared at the meteorite mine; Xinghe must have received advance notice!

Are you trying to kill everyone in the entire meteorite mine?!
