This person's name is Li Yuanba, and Human Immortal Second Heaven.
"Snort!"
But as soon as he finished speaking, Yang Wu glared at him fiercely, which made him shrink back and sit up straight again.
In his excitement, he forgot that his behavior was extremely rude.
While the two were talking, the other commanders also whispered among themselves, expressing their own opinions.
"Lord Yang, I think both Deputy Commander Zhao and Deputy Commander Li have some merit, but we still need to go to the scene to investigate and at least find some clues!"
Another tall, thin man stood up and clasped his hands in a fist salute to Yang Wu.
This person's cultivation level should be the strongest among those present besides Yang Wu. This person's name is Yuan He, and his cultivation level has reached the Human Immortal Sixth Heaven.
If Yang Wu were to be promoted again someday, Yuan He, as Yang Wu's subordinate, would likely be directly promoted to the new commander of the Ten Thousand Mirrors Ore Vein.
"Moreover, the opponents who were able to kill Yuan Feng and the others like this must all be at least Human Immortal experts. Those people that Vice Commander Zhao sent out probably also encountered an accident!"
Yuan He's words are quite convincing.
Everyone else also knew Yuan He's status in Yang Wu's eyes.
So when Yuan He spoke, everyone else was quietly watching.
"That makes sense!"
Upon hearing this, Yang Wu pondered for a moment, then nodded. "How about this, one of you take some men to take a look."
His gaze swept over the nineteen people, finally settling on Jing Shaowu and Li Yuanba had just spoken.
Yang Wu raised his right hand and lightly tapped his fingertip. "It's just the two of you!"
There were two Human Immortal, one of whom was at the Human Immortal Fifth Heaven, which was already quite impressive.
As for the Heavenly Derivation Sect, the branch near their Five Dragons Mountain is actually just one of their branches, and the strength of the experts there is not much different from that on their side.
However, the other side has a Holy Master, who is equivalent to the Grand Commander of their Five Dragons Mountain.
Their Five Dragons Mountain's Grand Commander oversees several mines and hasn't been at the Ten Thousand Mirrors Ore Vein recently.
Therefore, Yang Wu is currently the strongest person here.
However, whether it is the Holy Master or the Grand Commander, they are both Earth Immortal level experts. Generally speaking, they would not condescend to attack a True Immortal, especially in the Hall of Reception.
Earth Immortal experts generally wouldn't set foot in such a place.
Because the Hall of Reception is the closest place between the Immortal Realm Mortal Realm.
They generally believed that the Hall of Reception contained impure energy rising from the Mortal Realm.
Getting close to the Hall of Reception will allow the impure energy to enter their Immortal Physique, thus affecting their subsequent cultivation!
"Yes, Commander! We two guarantee to capture... we guarantee to find clues!"
Li Yuanba level was decent among the deputy commanders, but he seemed a bit simple-minded and impulsive.
Sometimes, the mouth moves faster than the brain.
Therefore, Yang Wu sent Li Yuanba along with Zhao Shaowu.
Li Yuanba originally wanted to say that he could catch the murderer, but then he realized he didn't know the other party's strength, so he quickly changed his mind.
This earned him another eye roll from Yang Wu.
"Take your mining squad and set off immediately!"
"Yes, sir!"
After saying that, the two of them left the tent first.
After the two left, Yang Wu sighed, rubbed his temples, and asked, "How much ore are we still short of the next batch to be handed over to the Three Immortals Pavilion?"
These days, not only the deputy commanders below, but even he, the actual commander, is overwhelmed by this matter.
When others are criticized, at most they are criticized by him, but when he is criticized, the pressure he bears comes from the Grand Commander, or even a stronger person above the Grand Commander.
In severe cases, they might even remove him from his command!
"Reporting to the Commander, we are still short ten million cubic meters!"
Yuan He stood up and responded.
"Ten million? Tsk tsk!"
With their manpower, they can only mine a maximum of six million cubic meters of immortal ore per month.
There's only a little over a month until the next ore delivery.
It seems they're running out of time at the Ten Thousand Mirrors Ore Vein.
This is why they have recently been capturing so many ascendants from the nearby Reception Hall.
Moreover, it wasn't just the Reception Hall within the Ten Thousand Mirrors Ore Vein area that went to capture people; people from other Reception Halls in the surrounding area also went to arrest them.
There's no other way; the Ascended are the readily available, most useful, and cheapest labor force.
Yang Wu looked up and gave a firm order, "Continue arresting people, expand the search area. If the Heavenly Derivation Sect interferes, don't hold back. Otherwise, if our ore production doesn't meet the target by the deadline, everyone will be in trouble!"
The millions of cubic meters of celestial mine that have been vacated will not be a problem as long as there are enough people.
"And also, for the next month, make those miners work with all their might. As long as they don't die, dig until they're dead!"
"After this is over, there will be a transition period, and we'll have time to continue recruiting then!"
For them, the current challenge is to overcome the difficulties they face.
As for the lives and deaths of those miners, they were utterly insignificant in their eyes.
Or perhaps, from the moment they were captured and brought to the mine, they were destined to spend their entire lives there, until their last breath was burned out!
"Yes, sir!"
Upon hearing this, the remaining seventeen deputy commanders left the camp one after another, and then began to tirelessly lead their men through the darkness, continuing to search for people in the various reception halls.
"Ah Qiu!"
"Who's insulting me!"
On the way to the No. 13,756 Reception Hall, Li Yuanba suddenly sneezed, then turned to Jing Shaowu and said, "Old Lens, you think... it was the Heavenly Derivation Sect who did it?"
"I think it was those people who did it!"
"Who did you say made the move? It couldn't be Bai Kongxuan, could it?"
"That seems unlikely. Could it be Gongsun Yu? If it really is him, you might not even be able to gain the upper hand against him!"
"But if we go there now, their people will have already left!"
Li Yuanba kept chattering away, and Jing Shaowu couldn't even get a word in edgewise.
A look of undisguised disdain crossed his face.
"Alright! Shut up. We'll find out when we get there. Instead of guessing here, let's go and see for ourselves." Jing Shaowu seized the opportunity to interrupt Li Yuanba's monologue, "Everything we're talking about now is just speculation. Only by going there in person can we possibly find any clues!"
Upon hearing this, Li Yuanba retorted irritably, "Heh! You think I don't know!"
He could tell that Jing Shaowu was getting annoyed with him, but he didn't care. He immediately snorted coldly.
Behind them, each of them led hundreds of the Myriad Mirrors Mining Army in a grand procession.
Finally, at sunrise, they arrived near their target, the Hall of Reception.
"Wait a minute? What is this?"
The two of them immediately sensed that something was wrong.
Why has a huge palace appeared next to the Hall of Reception? This palace is much larger than the Hall of Reception.
They were 100% certain that there had never been a palace here before, or rather, before today.
Most of these deputy commanders traveled between the various reception halls and were very familiar with the situation of the surrounding reception halls.
Yuan Feng may have visited this Reception Hall more often, but it's not like they haven't been here before.
More importantly, this palace is clearly no ordinary object!
