Forcibly Plucking Wool

Inside the stone cave.

The guard cultivator, seeing the Giant Sword Technique shattered in one strike, was terrified, his face turned ashen. Then, his hands continuously cast spell techniques, hoping that after the powerful magic tool collided with the Earth Wall Technique, its power would be greatly reduced, allowing the Giant Sword Technique to cut it down.

He cast the spell techniques faster and faster, holding onto his beautiful wish.

When danger approached, potential could indeed be stimulated.

Another, shorter cultivator, did not give up either. To give up would mean death and the destruction of his path. Even at the last moment, he did not want to give up.

At this moment, he was unable to move and could only desperately urge his Magic Power again, preparing to cast another Earth Wall Technique.

Just as they were desperately casting their spells.

The Purple Crystal Bracelet emitted a purple halo, slicing through the air that felt like a solid substance, and charged towards the Earth Wall glowing with Yellow Spirit Light.

"Crack!"

Shattered in one strike, the Earth Wall with its faint yellow spirit light turned into light spots and disappeared.

The purple halo emanating from the Purple Crystal Bracelet dimmed slightly. It seemed its power had indeed been reduced, just by a tiny bit.

The Purple Crystal Bracelet, with its residual power, sent out rings of air waves around itself, charging towards the two people who were casting spell techniques.

The Purple Crystal Bracelet spun around their necks like a gear.

"Thump!"

"Thump!"

Two heads rolled to the ground almost simultaneously.

Cheng Buzheng saw the two corpses with their heads separated, blood continuously spreading outwards.

He did not delay. His Divine Sense probed, and he found nothing valuable on their bodies. He only managed to find two bottles of Bigu Pills.

Then, he flicked his finger, and two flames shot out towards the corpses. After injecting some Magic Power, the flames intensified greatly, and the temperature rose sharply.

This was not like grilling where the temperature was kept constant. Instead, the Magic Power was instantly pushed to its limit, and the temperature directly reached its Limit State.

In the blink of an eye, the corpses disappeared, leaving only two piles of ashes in their place.

Cheng Buzheng quickly walked to the pile of Spirit Stone Raw Ore and waved his hand, enveloping the pile of Spirit Stone Raw Ore with a surge of Magic Power.

With a flash of yellow light, he and the Spirit Stone Raw Ore disappeared from the stone cave.

A yellow light rapidly burrowed underground, occasionally dropping a few Waste Stones.

By the time Cheng Buzheng burrowed to the eighth mining tunnel, the Spirit Stone Raw Ore enveloped by Magic Power had already disappeared.

A quarter of an hour after Cheng Buzheng left, a short and stout cultivator under the Mine Overseer entered the stone cave.

Upon seeing the devastated stone cave and two piles of ashes.

He exclaimed:

"This is bad! Someone!

The Spirit Stone Raw Ore has been stolen, quickly report to the Mine Overseer!"

The terrified cries for help spread through the mining tunnel.

Not long after.

Figures from all directions quickly gathered towards the stone cave.

"Who... who exactly was it?"

"Could it be that person the Mine Overseers put a bounty on?"

"Most likely, that person has been the boldest so far!"

"Impossible! Perhaps someone is framing them?"

"What's the point of discussing this now? Has anyone seen the Mine Overseer? Hurry and notify him, that's important!"

"I haven't seen him!"

"I've already sent someone to notify him! The Mine Overseer will be here soon."

"The Huang Family Brothers on guard today, not a single one was left alive, all of them were beheaded."

"Yeah, luckily it wasn't my shift today."

"This job is still quite dangerous!"

A quarter of an hour later.

A burly, sallow-faced middle-aged cultivator, his face grim, said coldly.

"Who discovered it first?"

"Mi- mine!" A short and stout cultivator stepped forward.

Then, with downcast eyes and cold sweat dripping, he carefully wiped the sweat from his forehead and nervously recounted how he discovered the scene, his immediate call for help, and the specific time, explaining it all in detail.

At this moment, he dared not anger the mine overseers, or he would face a storm.

The sallow-faced mine overseer suppressed his anger and listened patiently.

Instantly.

The scene fell silent, everyone looking at the sallow-faced mine overseer, waiting for his command.

The sallow-faced mine overseer knew that today's events could not be concealed; his subordinates would surely have spies from other mine overseers. Although he wanted to make things difficult for the other mine overseers, he was not someone who would sacrifice himself for others.

However, in the previous agreement, it was clearly stipulated that whoever encountered trouble first must immediately notify the other mine overseers.

If the incident was concealed, the losses incurred would be compensated by the concealer. If they refused to compensate, the other mine overseers would surely attack collectively.

In the blink of an eye, he made up his mind.

The sallow-faced mine overseer surveyed the crowd and said coldly:

"Xiao Er, immediately dispatch seven people to inform the other seven mine overseers that the little thief has appeared and to prepare themselves.

This is extremely urgent... depart immediately."

As soon as he finished speaking, he didn't look back and directly entered the stone cave to deal with the aftermath.

A lean young cultivator watched the mine overseer's retreating back, stepped forward two paces, and respectfully bowed his head with clasped hands, without the slightest hint of overstepping.

"Yes! Big Brother, I'll go do it now."

Then the lean cultivator pondered for a moment and said.

"Those at the Third Level of Qi Refining who know the Wind Control Technique, step forward!"

The only three cultivators at the Third Level of Qi Refining in the crowd exchanged glances and, as if by tacit understanding, stepped forward simultaneously.

"You have the highest cultivation and are the fastest. To deliver the message as quickly as possible, the three of you will separately deliver the message to No. 8 Mine Tunnel, No. 7 Mine Tunnel, and No. 6 Mine Tunnel.

Thank you for your hard work, go quickly and return quickly!"

After speaking, he clasped his fists in salute. He dared not put on airs. Although he was a favored subordinate of the mine overseer, these three cultivators were at the same level as him, the Third Level of Qi Refining. It was best not to offend them, as no one knew what the future held.

As soon as the words fell.

The air exploded, and the three cultivators at the Third Level of Qi Refining had already vanished from their positions, leaving only three rings of air waves that struck the rock wall.

Then the lean young cultivator spoke again.

"Those at the peak of the Second Level of Qi Refining whose Wind Control Technique has reached the Great Accomplishment realm, step forward."

Three cultivators at the peak of the Second Level of Qi Refining emerged from the crowd.

The lean youth scanned the area and said in a low voice.

"Hou San, you go to No. 1 Mine Tunnel and deliver the message. Don't delay on the way, understand?"

"I'm going right now!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned and left.

"Jiao Ping, Hu Liang, you two go to No. 2 and No. 4 Mine Tunnels respectively. Go quickly and return quickly!"

"Yes!" Without any nonsense, they each cast a Wind Control Technique and rapidly advanced towards their target locations.

The lean youth scanned the area again. "You all return to your respective patrol areas and watch out for unfamiliar Mortal Cultivators!

... Do not be careless!"

Afterward, the lean youth also cast a Wind Control Technique and rushed directly towards No. 5 Mine Tunnel.
