Black Iron Vein

"Where did this Demon Race come from, daring to act so presumptuously here!"

With Yin Nakong charged straight at Wolf Ancestor, wielding his halberd. His Foundation Establishment Late Stage expert.

"Hehe, Brother Yin, these aren't Demon Race, they're Human Race."

Sikong Shixue smiled, waved his sleeve, and a blood-red Precious Sword appeared in his hand. He then casually tossed it away, Precious Sword transformed into a streak of blood light, flying straight at the Four-Eyed Green-Tailed Eagle, who was also a Foundation Establishment Late Stage Blood Race.

How is that possible?

Liu Changqing's face darkened, and he turned to look at the last Blood Race. The latter smiled sinisterly, and thick blood light shot into the sky. His cultivation was no weaker than the other two.

"Three Foundation Establishment Late Stage!"

Yang Tianyou gasped inwardly, his eyes filled with disbelief.

"Damn, I've kicked a hornet's nest..."

Yang Tianyou's heart skipped a beat. He forced himself to calm down and began to think of a solution.

First of all, although the current situation is tricky, it is not a fatal threat. After all, Wolf Ancestor and Four-Eyed Green-Tailed Eagle are both extremely powerful. Even when facing Foundation Establishment Late Stage Blood Race, they are evenly matched. Only Liu Changqing is under some pressure, but he can hold on for a short time.

Having figured this out, Yang Tianyou felt relieved. Then he recalled the map he had taken on the Flying Boat. He had felt something was off back then, and now he realized that there was another Blood Race town very close to Black Creek Town.

Normally, the distance between two towns wouldn't be too close, otherwise it would cause a lot of unnecessary conflicts. However, the distance between Black Creek Town and the neighboring Blood Race town is only two hundred miles, which is very abnormal. At the time, Yang Tianyou thought it was a coincidence when he was on the Flying Boat.

However, considering the current situation in Black Creek Town, he simply couldn't believe that there wasn't something fishy going on with the three Foundation Establishment Late Stage guards.

With that thought in mind, Yang Tianyou quietly disappeared, intending to sneak in and investigate himself.

His injuries haven't healed yet, and he can only exert about 70-80% of his strength at most. His injuries will definitely worsen after fighting someone.

Normally, Yang Tianyou wouldn't make a move, but the mysterious Black Creek Town in front of him piqued his curiosity.

During the war, the Blood Race still dispatched three Foundation Establishment Late Stage cultivators to guard the town, clearly indicating that something in Black Creek Town was of great importance to Blood Race.

This was already worth the risk. He secretly sent a Voice Transmission Talisman to Liu Changqing. This Talisman was different from Communication Talisman; it was highly concealed, but it could only be used at close range.

After Yang Tianyou activated the Voice Transmission Talisman, neither the Blood Race Foundation Establishment on the other side nor Liu Changqing, who was on full defensive, reacted. However, Yang Tianyou knew that the latter had already agreed, otherwise he should have retreated while fighting.

After preparing himself and affixing two Spirit Concealment Talisman to his body, Yang Tianyou's figure gradually merged into the world and disappeared.

Yang Tianyou hurried along the right side, passing through the area in front of the town. He followed the stream and soon arrived at the end of the canyon, stopping in front of a cave where a constant tinkling sound could be heard.

At this moment, due to the fierce battle outside, the Blood Servants looked worried. However, driven by the long whips of several Blood Race guards, these Blood Servants, who were already deeply servile, dared not resist and could only speed up the transportation of ore.

"A mineral vein!"

Hidden in the shadows, Yang Tianyou's Shen Yi lit up, but he was somewhat disappointed; he couldn't take this with him.

However, looking at the long line of Blood Servants in front of him, Yang Tianyou narrowed his eyes and, with a flicker of his figure, followed the route of the Blood Servants to a warehouse.

This was a gigantic, bluish-white warehouse with doors that were three or four zhang high, opening on both sides. Teams of Blood Servants would transport ore into the warehouse and then return with empty containers.

The scorching air gushing from the warehouse cooled and dissipated only after rushing dozens of feet outside the warehouse door. After observing for a moment, Yang Tianyou muttered to himself, "It must be the Smelting Workshop."

Muttering to himself, Yang Tianyou, skilled and daring, slipped inside through the base of the wall, relying on the protection of the High-Grade Spirit Concealment Talisman.

Perhaps because of the long period of peace, the guards here were very lax. There were only a dozen or so guards, including the few at the entrance, and none of them noticed Yang Tianyou's infiltration.

In the very center of the warehouse, several large furnaces stood burning fiercely, and surging Earthfire poured out from several holes in the ground, becoming docile and controllable under the effect of the Formation.

Black ore was thrown into the furnace and, after going through a series of processes, turned into a reddish-brown liquid metal that flowed out. Then, under the tempering of a special process, it solidified into neat metal blocks.

"Black Iron!"

Yang Tianyou's eyes lit up as he recognized the metal—a Spirit Gold of the Tier 2.

No wonder there are three Foundation Establishment guardians. If the reserves of Tier 2 Black Iron Vein are large enough, its value could even exceed one million Spirit Stones.

The ore vein is inanimate and cannot be taken away, but there is no such concern about these preliminarily smelted Black Iron blocks.

Following the trail of the Blood Servants, Yang Tianyou quickly found the warehouse that was specially used to store Black Iron blocks. The warehouse was not large, after all, there was not much Black Iron that had been smelted. The defense was not low, and Tier 2 Formation was clearly engraved on the door.

Of course, now that the warehouse doors are wide open, the defensive function of the Formation is completely gone.

Without hesitation, Yang Tianyou suddenly appeared, waved his right hand, and Starlight flashed by, like a beautiful ribbon of Moonlight falling down, and heads fell silently one by one.

Upon entering the warehouse, neat rows of iron boxes were placed on wooden shelves. These were all finished Black Iron. Judging by the quantity, the vein in Black Creek Town must have been accumulating iron for quite some time.

With a joyful expression, Yang Tianyou channeled his Spiritual Power and swept away all the Black Iron.

He then activated his Great White Gold Eyes to scan the warehouse, looking for anything he had overlooked. Sure enough, he discovered some clues.

On the left side of the warehouse, underground, there was a Concealment Array, clearly hiding something.

The Twin Blades transformed into golden light and cleaved out with a clang, splitting open the metal ground to reveal a Black Iron box three feet high and four feet wide.

The box was engraved with many Array Mark, but they were of low level and were easily opened by Yang Tianyou. Then, several pieces of Spirit Gold that looked very similar to Black Iron came into view.

These metal pieces were entirely black, with pale gold patterns swirling around their surface. Wisps of Geng Metal Spiritual Qi accompanied the patterns, making them quite peculiar.

"The Black Iron Essence... it's actually such a treasure!"

Yang Tianyou smiled happily. The Black Iron Essence was a top-grade Tier 2 Supreme-Grade, which could only be produced in medium to large-sized Black Iron. It was rare and extremely precious.

These few pieces in front of us are the result of a long period of accumulation of minerals in Black Creek Town, but now they all belong to Yang Tianyou.

With a flick of his sleeve, he collected all the spoils of war. Outside, exclamations of surprise were already rising and falling. He simply walked out of the warehouse in a magnanimous manner.

Brush!

The Starlight transformed into a deathly Moon Disc, splattering blood wherever it passed. Without any Foundation Establishment Blood Race, even Blood Race at the Qi Refining Realm were no match for it.

Even the smallest gain is still a gain. The Yang Household family members, who uphold the principles of diligence and thrift, will not let go of any opportunity to make a profit.

Soon the entire warehouse was ransacked, and he even dug out the Blood Soul Essence Cores of those Purebred- Blood Race and stored them in his Storage Ring.

After doing all that, Yang Tianyou didn't stop there. He went back to the Black Iron Mine and swept away all the newly mined ore before leaving triumphantly.

His movements appeared slow, but in reality, it took less than a quarter of an hour. After Yang Tianyou returned, he immediately sent a telepathic message to Liu Changqing, informing him that they could retreat.

The latter was currently struggling to defend against the ferocious attacks of the Blood Race in front of him and had already suffered considerable injuries. After receiving Yang Tianyou's telepathic message, he fought and retreated while sending signals to Wolf Ancestor and Four-Eyed Green-Tailed Eagle.

Neither of the two Spirit Beasts were easy to deal with; they unleashed their attacks, forcing the Blood Race away before helping Liu Changqing escape.

The remaining Qi Refining cultivators also began to retreat in an orderly manner, using Talisman to cover their retreat, leaving the Blood Race helpless and unable to pursue them.

During this process, Yang Tianyou also stepped in to help, killing more than a dozen Qi Refining Qi and Blood Clan members, which enraged several Foundation Establishment Blood Race who wanted to kill him personally, but were stopped by Wolf Ancestor and other Foundation Establishment of their own side.

A dozen or so breaths later, dozens of cultivators retreated to Liu's flying boat. Streaks of azure light enveloped the surface of the flying boat, quickly turning into rainbows and disappearing, leaving only the blood clan cultivators with pale and uncertain faces behind.

"Notify the Crimson Blood Guards to conduct a full-scale manhunt for these damned Human Race rats!" Si Kong spoke with murderous intent, his eyes filled with a predatory glint, and the other Blood Race dared not meet his gaze.
