"Yes, Commander!"
The man who spoke kept his head down, not daring to show the slightest displeasure on his face.
"Alright, fewer people is fine. We'll check on the other reception halls later. The higher-ups need a lot of immortal ore lately, and our Ten Thousand Mirrors Ore Vein's current production can't keep up."
Commander Yuan paused for a moment, then continued, "If we can't deliver enough immortal ore by the deadline, everyone in the mine will be punished!"
"Alright, you two lead the group and take them with you to the next reception hall! I have some business to attend to and need to return first!"
After speaking, Commander Yuan produced a communication stone in his hand, and walked out of the hall alone to communicate with someone.
Inside the main hall,
Upon hearing what these people were saying, the old Daoist priest and his companions' expressions instantly turned ugly.
Those who could become immortals were certainly not fools.
From their undisguised conversation, they had already gleaned a crucial piece of information.
So these people are in charge of mining?
Although it's called a celestial mine, there are actually mineral resources in the lower realm as well.
One is just ordinary ore, while the other is celestial ore from the Immortal Realm.
They may have different names, but their actual uses should be similar.
Therefore, these people currently lack manpower for mining, and they want to bring all of these newly ascended people over to mine.
Turned into a miner right from the start?
"My lords, please forgive our bluntness, but we..."
The old Daoist priest looked conflicted, but ultimately chose to speak.
"Smack!"
However, before he could even utter a word, a loud slap suddenly rang out in the empty hall.
Especially since the interior of the main hall was already quiet, this made it particularly conspicuous.
The old Daoist priest was sent flying dozens of meters away, rolling and tumbling hundreds of times on the ground before finally coming to a stop.
A mouthful of blood gushed from its mouth, mixed with several teeth!
The one who made the move was none other than the man who had just opened his mouth.
At this moment, his eyes were cold.
Before Commander Yuan, he naturally had to grovel and bow his head in submission.
But what's with these few pieces of trash that flew up from the Mortal Realm?
They even dared to bargain with him.
Saying it's haggling is a bit of an exaggeration.
After all, the old Daoist priest was sent flying before he could even finish speaking.
To be honest, this guy was just venting his anger from what he had just received from Commander Yuan!
The man spat, which landed right at the monk's feet. " Mortal Realm ants, you don't think you're so great just because you've ascended to immortality, do you? This is the Immortal Realm, not your mortal little world. Here, at least for now, you are all trash in my eyes!"
But after witnessing this person's prowess, the other four didn't dare to move an inch.
Because they didn't even realize when this person made their move.
This person is at least one major realm higher than the other five.
"To tell you the truth, there are at least eighty or a hundred ascendants like you in our Reception Hall alone every month. Do you really think you're something rare?"
Fools! This is the Immortal Realm, teeming with immortals. You are nothing more than one of the countless mortals here!
"It's an honor for you Mortal Realm ants to be able to mine the veins for us, do you understand?"
A disdainful smile curled at the corner of the man's lips.
Like this old Daoist priest, he had seen far too many people who wanted to refuse them during his years in office.
This kind of person is just a scoundrel; just beat him until he behaves.
Do they really think they're some kind of chosen one from the lower realms?
"Does anyone else have any objections?" The man glanced around, seemingly satisfied with establishing his authority, and then continued, "If no one does, then leave with me. Anyone who harbors any ill intentions will face consequences next time, not just a slap."
This guard guarantees that next time, at least one corpse will appear!
"Yes! I will obey your command, sir!"
The other four gritted their teeth, lowered their heads, and didn't let these people see the expressions on their faces.
There's nothing we can do; they're tough. Trying to fight them head-on at a time like this is just suicide.
It's better to go with these people first. Although becoming a miner sounds bad, at least it saves my life.
At this moment, they also realized a problem: in this immortal Immortal Realm, the lives of these Mortal Realm ascension beings were as worthless as grass.
Any random person could probably crush them easily.
Thinking of this, the five felt a pang of bitterness.
I never imagined that all my hard work in cultivating and ascending to immortality would end up like this. If this news gets back, the beings in those smaller worlds will probably laugh their heads off!
"Yes, sir!"
The old Daoist priest then got up from the ground.
He covered his mouth with one hand and mumbled incoherently.
They didn't dare utter even a single extra word.
"Hmph, you worthless wretch!"
Seeing this, the guard smiled with satisfaction.
"Walk!"
After saying that, he waved his hand and turned around.
As for these people, he didn't even need to look at them.
There's absolutely no way these guys can escape from him.
The other person was likely also a guard, at the same level as the man who had just spoken.
This person remained silent amidst the commotion, but his gaze was not much different from the other's.
As for establishing authority, that can be done by one person.
"How dare you! Why don't you all follow us?"
Before the two leading guards could take a few steps, a shout came from behind them.
The sound immediately made everyone in the group turn around.
The commander who had spoken frowned even more deeply, his brows almost forming a deep frown.
What's wrong with everyone today? They all seem to have a rebellious streak.
Looking back, they were surprised to see that Su Chen and his group remained unmoved.
At this moment, one of the fourteen celestial soldiers was pointing his finger at Su Chen and his group, cursing angrily.
"Kill one first; it seems the previous 'killing the chicken to scare the monkey' approach wasn't effective enough!"
The killing intent in the guard's eyes was almost overflowing.
I was already in a bad mood, and then these bastards kept provoking me.
If it weren't for their current manpower shortage, he would have definitely killed Su Chen and his group.
If he really kills all of them now, he won't be able to explain himself when he gets back.
Let's kill one first.
Anyway, Commander Yuan definitely won't remember what these people look like. When we go to the other reception halls to pick up people, we can just underreport the number of people!
"Yes, Guard Li!"
Upon receiving the order, the celestial soldier raised his spear, intending to pierce through the Source of All Spirits closest to him.
At the same time, the aura of Seventh-Layer Loose Immortal swept out from this person, attempting to suppress the Source of All Spirits to the ground.
In his eyes, these newly ascended beings were basically all at the First Heaven Loose Immortal.
Reaching the Second Heaven Loose Immortal is already considered an accident.
He himself was Seventh Heaven Loose Immortal, at least five minor realms higher than his opponent.
Such a huge disparity in skill was enough for him to kill these blind scumbags with a single shot!
