Planting explosives

"Hahaha."

The lewd laughter echoed throughout the woods, He Niannian's legs began to tremble involuntarily, slowing her escape considerably.

From the air, Wu Qi saw the situation clearly and recognized the girl's identity.

It's truly a case of "searching high and low without finding it, only to have it come to you effortlessly."

Among those pursuing He Niannian, there was only one Soul King powerhouse; the rest were all Soul Ancestor.

This lineup is more than enough to deal with He Niannian.

However, now that Wu Qi has arrived, how could he simply leave it unattended?

He wasn't sure if there were still pursuers or powerful figures lurking in the shadows, so he didn't rush into the fray immediately.

"Spiritual Skull Spirit Bone Skills, Phantom Spirit Sharing!"

Under his spiritual guidance, He Niannian's vision became exceptionally broad, and she could even see the movements of the pursuers behind her without turning around.

She immediately realized that someone was secretly helping her.

In order not to expose the identity of the person hiding in the shadows, she dared not make a sound and could only rely on the other party's help to constantly evade pursuit.

Wu Qi's voice quickly echoed in her mind.

"Take them far away; I'll kill them later to avoid being discovered by the people in the Mine Mountain."

He Niannian recognized that voice all too well; it was none other than Wu Qi, the one who had helped her back then.

Even without Wu Qi saying anything, He Niannian knew what to do.

Because the information she overheard concerned the lives of hundreds of miners, if she alerted them, they might not even have a chance to react.

Seeing He Niannian evade their attacks time and time again, the pursuers could no longer sit still.

"Damn, this is a tough one. This little wench is incredibly fast."

The team leader's playful expression vanished, replaced by a serious tone. "Be careful. Things aren't going well in the Hagen-Dazs Kingdom lately. Several waves of powerful figures from the Spirit Hall and the Heaven Dou Empire have arrived."

"If we leak this secret information, the sect will not let us off the hook."

To avoid He Niannian running too far or being discovered by powerful figures passing by, they decided not to waste any more time.

"Fourth Soul Skill, Demon Wolf Rage."

The leading Soul King possesses the Snow Demon Wolf Martial Soul, and his Fourth Soul Skill is the Spiritual Deterrence Soul Skill.

With He Niannian's cultivation level of over twenty, she was simply unable to resist.

"Kill her to prevent future trouble."

Seeing He Niannian frozen in place, the others immediately stepped forward to finish her off.

Before they could make a move, He Niannian suddenly "woke up" and stuck out her tongue at them.

The leading Soul King powerhouse sensed something was wrong and turned around to see a person with bloodshot eyes and Asura blood shadow emerging behind him slowly approaching them.

"Divine Slaughter's Domain!"

"Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Soul Bone skill: Blue Silver Domain!"

The power of the domain, centered on Wu Qi's body, rapidly spread, enveloping everyone within it.

The chill emanating from the Divine Slaughter's Domain added even more coldness to this already chilly night.

The Blue Silver Domain isolates everything within, preventing any leakage of its aura.

There was no other way; the other side had already noticed something was amiss. If He Niannian continued running, and they sent some people back to seek backup, it would be a huge problem.

After all, Wu Qi was only one person and couldn't fight on two fronts.

"Who are you? My New Mountain Sect has no grudge against you, so why are you obstructing us!"

If the news leaks from them and the sect finds out, they will surely die a horrible death.

If we can use the reputation of our sect to force Wu Qi to retreat, and then deal with He Niannian, it will not be too late to mend the fence after the sheep are lost!

Unfortunately, they didn't know that Wu Qi had come here to cause them trouble.

At the same time, Wu Qi also knew He Niannian, so naturally he wouldn't let them off easily.

To avoid any accidents, Wu Qi didn't waste any words and acted swiftly.

"Spiritual Head Soul Bone Skill: Illusion Space!"

The moment their Soul Skill were activated, everyone in the team was terrified and began to kill each other.

Wu Qi with incredible speed, reaping the lives of these people.

When it came to the last person, He Niannian threw her Spear Martial Soul, piercing through the man's chest.

After doing all this, she couldn't help but angrily add, "These people are despicable!"

Wu Qi gave a brief reply and immediately collected all the corpses and bloodstains on the ground into his Soul Tool.

He looked up at the snow-covered night and couldn't help but say, "After one night of snow, there will be enough to bury all traces of this place."

He then looked at He Niannian and said, "Come with me!"

With He Niannian by his side, they first met up with Qiangu Changkong and the other person. By the time they returned to the city, it was already past midnight.

He Niannian had been holding back for a long time, and seeing that she finally had a chance to speak, she knelt down with a thud and said in an almost pleading tone, "Please, please save my father and the hundreds of miners in the Mine Mountain."

Wu Qi frowned.

He had already guessed that the New Mountain Sect had realized they had been exposed and wanted to destroy the evidence!

He helped He Niannian up and comforted her, "Don't rush, tell me slowly. We've come back this time to take action against the New Mountain Sect."

He Niannian recounted the events in detail.

Six days ago, New Mountain Sect arranged for all miners to enter the underground Mine Shaft.

They claimed that as the weather got colder, hiding underground could protect them from the cold.

At first, no one thought there was anything wrong with it.

Tonight, when He Niannian came to the Mine Mountain to visit her father, she overheard the group of people talking.

"They planted a large amount of explosives in the Mine Mountain, waiting for all the miners to return before burying them all underground!"

He Niannian said bitterly, "Work was suspended for a while before, and some miners went home to visit their families. The deadline they were given was that they all had to return to the mine within ten days."

"After dawn today, there are still three days left until the deadline. But no one dares to return to the Mine Mountain at the last minute; we only have less time left."

Wu Qi was aware of the seriousness of the matter, but they were unaware of the Mine Mountain's operations.

Similarly, their purpose in coming here is also to investigate the Wu Family's involvement.

Rescuing all the miners now would surely alert the enemy, and it's even possible that the New Mountain Sect has other plans.

Perhaps the rescue team sent by Wu Qi will be buried underground along with the miners.

The most urgent task for Wu Qi is to quickly ascertain the condition of the Mine Mountain before arranging a rescue plan.

The Qiangu Changkong asked, "I want to ask you, who exactly is operating the Mine Mountain? And who is this Charles you mentioned earlier?"

After thinking for a moment, He Niannian replied, "This Mining Area was originally opened by Mr. Charles who recruited people to mine it. My father also came to the Mine Mountain at that time."

"Later, Mr. Charles didn't stay at the Mine Mountain for long before he completely disappeared."

"According to the later Former Employer, Mr. Charles transferred the Mine Mountain to them."

Wu Qi pressed further, "Is it the New Mountain Sect?"

He Niannian hesitated slightly, then said with certainty, "They didn't reveal their origins. But from their few words, it's certain that they are from the New Mountain Sect."
