(ps: In the previous chapter, Venerable Zhenyang called Ning Chen. It should be Mr. Bai. It was a typo and has been changed back. Thank you to our deputy moderator for the reminder)
Pill Pagoda On the 32nd floor, the man in red clothes left with a sword. Venerable Zhenyang pondered quietly. After a moment, he said, "Here comes someone."
"Tower Master"
A disciple in green clothes walked in and saluted respectfully.
"Let me tell you, Pill Pagoda Mo Kuang has been stolen, and we are trying our best to hunt down the thief," Venerable Zhenyang said slowly.
"Yes"
The disciple in green bowed again and immediately retreated.
"Bai Yujing, don't let me down."
Venerable Zhenyang stood up, looked down at the red figure gradually disappearing in front of the tower, and said softly.
Three hundred miles away, Hongyi appeared. Looking at Mo Kuang in his hand, an indelible feeling of cherishing the sword surged out of his heart again.
From today on, this sword belongs to him.
In just a few days, Pill Pagoda's attitude changed so quickly. It was obvious that the Holy Land had posed a considerable threat to Pill Pagoda. Something must have happened recently that he didn't know about. It seemed that he had to find a way to find out the whole story.
As for Tianfu Saintess, although this woman had tricked him once, it was not a life-and-death feud. Killing someone was indeed a bit excessive, but using Yellow Springs Restriction to trap her for a year and a half was a good choice.
The old man had informed him of Tianfu Saintess's whereabouts, but he didn't expect this place.
Wild land, Eastern Frontier Wasteland!
He had heard of this desolate land. It was bitterly cold all year round and desolate. It had always been a place where prisoners from major dynasties were exiled.
He didn't understand why Tianfu Saintess wanted to go here. The old man Pill Pagoda didn't explain either. He seemed to be deliberately hiding something.
The purpose of Tianfu Saintess's trip is most likely related to Pill Pagoda's unusual attitude. It just so happened that he had just smashed Yan Yuntian's Seven Kill Palace upside down. He took the opportunity to go to the Eastern Wasteland for a few days and let Yan Yuntian search for it all over the world.
Thinking of this, Ning Chen no longer hesitated and immediately set off towards the east.
At the same time, in the Seven Kill Palace, an angry roar resounded throughout the world. When Yan Yuntian returned, seeing the ruined palace riddled with holes, murderous intent roared all over him, like a sinking abyss or an angry sea, and he wished he could tear that abominable phoenix into pieces.
Po Jun Palace, Le Chengyi looked at Mist Concealing Pearl in their hands, a faint smile flashed on their beautiful faces.
Yan Yuntian ah Yan Yuntian, although you are a peerless genius, if you are so careless again, you will really fall into the hands of this person.
One day later, in the Eastern Wasteland, the phoenix transformed into a phoenix. Hong Yi walked out, looking at the endless desolate land, he couldn't help but feel sad.
Continuing to travel eastward for hundreds of miles, he still hasn't seen anyone. Only the chirping of birds echoes in the sky. Ning Chen raised his head and glanced at the Suzaku who had been following him, and ignored him.
There was no need to waste any more energy before he thought of a way to crack Suzaku's secret technique.
"Go quickly"
At this moment, a sharp shout came from the northwest. Looking along the sound, in the distance, more than a dozen officers and soldiers were escorting more than a hundred prisoners towards the east. The clatter of iron ropes echoed in the wind, which was very harsh.
Ning Chen walked behind the team, about five miles away, following slowly and unhurriedly. He wanted to see where these prisoners would be escorted.
Most of the day later, when the sun was about to set, the team stopped in front of a medium-sized mine and settled temporarily.
"Just a few people?" In front of the mine, a bearded man looked at the prisoners being escorted, threw a jar of wine over, and said with a rather dissatisfied expression.
"These are all the prisoners recently. The order from the Holy Land is too urgent. How can we find so many prisoners at once?" In front of the team, the leading officer and soldier took the wine jar, took a deep drink, and replied.
"Hey, that's right. Let's have a rest tonight and continue on our way tomorrow." The man sighed softly.
Not far away, under the dim sky, Ning Chen listened to the conversation between the two people and couldn't help but frown. Why does the Holy Land need so many prisoners?
Mining? This seems to be the only explanation.
However, what kind of ore made the Holy Land pay so much attention to it that it even sent Tianfu Saintess over?
Thinking of this, Ning Chen no longer waited for this group of people, but took the lead and rushed towards the east.
The cold moon rose, and the temperature in the wilderness suddenly dropped. In the night, a red light passed by, and disappeared without a trace after an instant.
Buqun Mine, the largest Profound Iron production place in the Eastern Wasteland. Under the moon, an extremely beautiful woman stood quietly, looking at the mine that was running day and night in front of her, with a bit of urgency in her eyes.
I don't know when, in the distance, a touch of red clothes appeared. After watching for a long time, it disappeared again.
Under the bottomless mine, a young man with ragged clothes and unkempt hair appeared and walked toward the mine with many prisoners.
"What the hell place"
Ning Chen whispered softly and looked around cautiously.
There are logs used for support everywhere under the mine, but gravel still falls from time to time, which makes people feel frightened.
"Profound Iron Ore"
Ning Chen frowned slightly when he saw the ore being transported by truckload. Is it the Profound Iron ore that the Holy Land wants? Is this thing useful?
Profound Iron is a good thing for a mortal dynasty, but for a behemoth like Tianfu Holy Land, its use is not as great as imagined.
At least, it's not worthy of Tianfu Saintess, a Half-Venerable-level person, coming to guard it in person.
Deep in the mine, three middle-aged men who looked like supervisors looked at the cartloads of Profound Iron mine that were being shipped out. The dissatisfaction between their brows was clearly visible.
No, it's still wrong!
"Bang"
The sound of shattering iron and stone was heard, and among the people digging, the iron pickaxe in the hand of one person was suddenly knocked away. In the Profound Iron mine, a piece of black and bright ore appeared. It was so different that it immediately attracted everyone's attention.
The three supervisors immediately stepped forward. After seeing the ore, they said solemnly, "Keep digging!"
The next moment, the clanging sound sounded again, and the black ore was dug out. After one piece, a second piece appeared, and then a third piece... Each piece was found, and it was personally brought to the ground by the three supervisors.
Ning Chen looked at the ore that was taken away, and narrowed his eyes slightly. There is no mistake, this should be what the Holy Land wants.
The difference between iron and divine materials can be distinguished with the naked eye. These pieces of iron ore are extraordinary.
Tianfu Saintess The purpose of this trip should also be for this thing.
Speaking of which, these ores feel somewhat similar to the scrap iron he looted from the Seven Kill Palace, but they are not exactly the same.
"Saint"
While Ning Chen was thinking, the prisoners beside him stepped aside and bowed their heads in salute.
With a supervisor leading the way, Tianfu Saintess walked among the crowd and looked at the place where Star Soul Iron Ore was dug. He waved his delicate hand and a green sword appeared. He slashed with the sword with a loud bang. The sword light penetrated several feet and cut a huge gap.
"Continue..."
Xi Mujin opened his mouth, but before he could finish his words, the entire mine suddenly shook violently, and rocks fell like rain, which was shocking and abnormal.
"This idiot"
Ning Chen saw this and cursed in his heart. Underground mining is inherently a high-risk matter. It would be strange if the mine did not collapse due to such a big movement.
"Holy girl, let's go quickly." Upon seeing this, the three supervisors turned their palms to shake away the falling boulders, stepped forward and said urgently.
"Go away, uncle"
Ning Chen became angry at that time. He no longer cared about hiding his identity, and cursed loudly, there are so many people underground, and the martial arts people have left, are they all going to be buried alive?
When the three supervisors heard this, their expressions darkened. However, in the dangerous moment, they had no time to pay attention. They took Tianfu Saintess beside them and quickly rushed out of the cave.
"Ink Madness"
The four people left, and in the blink of an eye, Ning Chen waved his hand to call out Ink Frenzy Sword Edge, stepped forward, his Sword Intent was rising to the top, Mo Kuang trembled, a Dao Sword light swept out, one turned into two, two turned into four... An endless stream of swords appeared, hovering in the sky in the mine, blocking the falling boulders.
"Why are you standing there, why don't you leave quickly!" Ning Chen roared angrily.
Hearing the roar, people who had no time to react immediately rushed out of the mine in a swarm.
In the rumbling and shaking mine, more and more boulders were falling. After the last few prisoners ran to the ground, the entire mine suddenly collapsed.
Outside the mine, a prisoner who had narrowly escaped death was slumped on the ground with weak legs. He looked at the collapsed mine in front of him. He was stunned for a moment, and then looked around.
"Has the benefactor come out?"
One question, two questions, one question. The prisoners who made mistakes or complained about injustice and were exiled here are all anxious at this moment. You ask me, I ask you.
The human heart, good and evil, are never absolute. Perhaps, at a certain moment, good will overwhelm evil, and it makes no difference to anyone.
Boom, under the mine, a Dao Sword light sliced open the ground, red light swept out, black hair danced, looking at the four people who escaped first, the anger in the eyes was uncontrollable.
He was covered in blood and had no right to blame anyone. However, if he did not take responsibility for his own fault, it would harm these innocent people. The word "saint" is really disgusting.
In the distance, Xi Mujin looked at the figure in the sky. His guilty eyes immediately turned cold. It was him!
"Sword style, falling from the sky"
Mo Kuang screamed, and a Dao Sword light shot straight into the sky, and then fell down with the power of breaking the sky, and slashed towards Tianfu Saintess with a shocking sword.
The sword light struck, and Ancient Zither appeared in Xi Mujin's hand. With a loud sound, the mysterious sound rang, and a sword box appeared out of thin air. Two azure swords flew out to meet Mo Kuang's sword light.
There was a loud earthquake, dust and sand stirred up, Xi Mujin's feet took three steps, Ancient Zither pulsed, and the blue glass swords shot through the air and slashed towards the figure in the sky.
Ning Chen With a cold look on his face, Mo slashed wildly and shook his sword away. Then the sword turned and the tips of the two swords collided, causing boundless turbulence to flow out in all directions.
"Mo Kuangjian? Pill Pagoda sent you!"
After the two moves clashed, Xi Mujin recognized the sword in the former's hand and said with a cold expression.
"No matter who sent me, today, you will pay the price for your stupid behavior."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ning Chen left Condensing Essence and pointed across Ink Frenzy Sword Edge. In an instant, the undercurrent of the waves surged endlessly. After the King of Hell broke, the peak energy on the sword appeared for the first time. Suddenly, the boundless sword pressure fell from the sky. Sword Intent passed by, and the earth instantly collapsed.
"Burial"
A moment later, the Life-Burying Sword sank with endless destructive power. Along the way, pieces of emptiness quickly collapsed. The shocking sight made the prisoners who survived the disaster in the distance tremble unconsciously.
