The sound of hoofbeats shattered Wind Cloud City's tranquility as a group of miners rode up to its gates. They explained their purpose to the guards, claiming they had urgent business with the city lord, and they mentioned Fan Lang's name.
The guards did not dare neglect them. They opened the gates, let the miners in, and led them to the City Lord's Mansion.
After going through quite a bit of trouble, the miners finally met Luo Jiuxiao himself and recounted everything exactly as it had happened.
"Fan Lang killed the Bear Family Two Tyrants and seized the Bear Family Mine?" Luo Jiuxiao was greatly shocked and sprang to his feet.
"Yes. The Bear Family Mine has now fallen into Fan Lang's hands. He sent us here to deliver a message," one of the miners replied.

What if this was a trap?
If he went to take over the mine, what awaited him might be a deadly ambush!
