"This time I went to the spar mining area, I led the team, Wang Xiaoxuan was fully responsible for the affairs of the sect, Chen Xiude/Feng Liuyan was in charge of the inner gate, Yin Xiaoxue and Huang Bingqian were in charge of the outer gate, and Zhang Guangzu was in charge of the foreign affairs hall.

Those who went out with me were Tang Yonghao, Li Chuyuan, Ding Biyao, Zhong Shusheng, Chen Lirong, Tang Jiasheng, Zhou Shimin, Zhou Jiahao, Zhao Junhui, Wang Tingxuan, and Xiao Dequan. The training was postponed, and when I came back to arrange, eight people were selected from the registered personnel to be taken out for the actual examination.

If there is any situation, you can go to the Elders' House to find Sect Master Ding, Sect Master Zhang, and Elder Li Jing, and they will assist you in dealing with it. You need to spend money and go to Zhang Guangzu to withdraw it. ”

The spar mining area is located in the deep mountains of the Longquan Mountains, about 1200 or 300 roads away from Deyuan County. The roads are sparsely populated and difficult to navigate, but they are suitable for flying and are faster, usually in two days.

Twenty people were divided into two groups, one group was led by Tang Yonghao to go first, and the other group was led by Lei Yu to postpone, with an interval of more than ten miles, all the way along the mountain road.

Now with Ding Baguio's 'Qingxu Taige', there is no problem with the accommodation of twenty people, half of the flight is gone, the severe winter day, the sky is dark quickly, in a forest on the mountain, the thunderstorm also signals, let everyone rest in the woods, and go again tomorrow morning.

There was no word for a night, and everyone spent comfortably in the 'Qingxu Taige'. In the afternoon of the next day, they came to the spar mining area, the jurisdiction of the Immortal Sect.

Changshengmen is in charge of Zhao Zhi'an in the spar mining area, Jin Dan was in the early stage of cultivation, short and fat in stature, a pair of shrewd eyes turned around, he is from the Bicui Peak sect, he has been in charge of the spar mining area for ten years, and has been in charge here.

Seeing the arrival of several people in the thunderstorm, except for Senior Brother Tang, who was cultivating in the foundation building period, the rest were all cultivating in the qi refining period, including the leader of the team, Lei Yu, who was even more ridiculous, only in the fifth-layer realm of qi refining, his attitude became cold, and he said lightly, "You go find a place to settle down first, and then talk about it tomorrow morning." With that, he turned around and left.

Lei Yu didn't mind, and led a few people to the shed in the mining area, and found a few empty houses to temporarily use as a place to live.

When the night came, the thunderstorm asked Ding Baguio to take everyone into the 'Qingxu Taige', leaving Tang Yonghao to go to the mining area overnight with him.

In the entire mining area, there are more than 20 Changshengmen rotating disciples, responsible for the guards around the mining area, there are more than 100 workers, who go down to the underground in shifts, in more than a dozen narrow tunnels hundreds of meters deep, with manual excavation and mining of spars, the spars mined every day are handed over to the disciples responsible for collecting spars at the entrance of the ground passage, and then transferred to Zhao Zhi'an, who keeps and collects them.

On the rotation for half a year, it happened to be the personnel of Zixuan Peak, and from their mouths, Lei Yu found something greasy, "The disciple who collects the spar on the ground is surnamed Diao, named Shiqing, and the sixth-layer realm cultivator of Qi refining, and he is also a disciple of Bicui Peak, who has followed Zhao Zhi'an for ten years, and has been doing the work of collecting and sorting spars, and has never changed people, collecting spars and making accounts, all of which are done by him alone, and never let the people on duty interfere, even if he takes a look, it is impossible."

In a place where the environment is so bad and birds don't poop, Senior Brother Diao has stayed for ten years, never complained, and never had any language exchange with the people on duty, that is to say, he only obeyed Zhao Zhi'an's command and completely ignored others.

Lei Yu secretly analyzed, there are only two possibilities, he can persevere, one is that he may be Zhao Zhi'an's puppet, that is, the person who has been planted with a life and death charm, or he is a person with the surname Zhao to fill his own pockets, otherwise no one can do it!

Mining workers, Lei Yu learned that all the people who were caught from outside by the surname Zhao, or deceived by the laborers, came to this mining area in a daze, in addition to providing three meals a day, it is impossible to resist and escape, otherwise they will be executed, and at the end of the year, I don't know how many workers will resist and run away because of the collapse of the tunnel, and they can not bear such pain, and resist, run away, and die. It can be said that "every spar is full of the blood and tears of the mining workers." ”

Zhao Zhi'an in the Jindan period lived in a house alone, and the rest of the brothers on duty lived near the quarantine area not far from the living area of the workers in the lower mines. A few days ago, dozens of people from the Demon Dao came to besiege the mining area, but they were repelled by Zhao Zhi'an and these twenty brothers. Some were wounded in the fighting.

Under the pretext of visiting the wounded, Lei Yu and the others came to the residence of more than 20 sect disciples, learned about the above situation, took out a few pills, and healed the wounded, no matter what, these people were also his subordinates.

Seeing the arrival of Lei Yu and Senior Brother Tang, these 20 or so people, as if they had met relatives, told them that they were all looking forward to returning to the sect as soon as possible after the hardships here.

"I'll go to the mines, and you're staying here. Lei Yu said.

"Sect Master Lei, a large array has been set up in the mining area, and you can't go without the permission of Senior Zhao," said one of the senior brothers surnamed Chen.

"It's okay, I'll take a look, if it doesn't work, forget it. "Thunderstorm Road.

Alone at the entrance of the mine, he found that he was close to the range of the large array of defenses. He used the earth element decomposition method to melt into the ground dozens of meters underground and enter the large array. Next to the mine ground, in Senior Brother Diao's room, Senior Brother Diao was cultivating in the house. Looking at his Mu Na's appearance, Lei Yu was even more sure that he was a puppet surnamed Zhao.

Diving into the ground again, he entered the passage of the mining area, and continued to go deeper and deeper along the passage, and finally descended to the fork of the tunnel several hundred meters deep.

"Little stone, what do you think of the distribution of spars in this spar mine?"

"Master, the spiritual power of several passages is very strong, and the spiritual power of this passage is even stronger. ”

Thunderstorm followed the passage pointed by the small stone for about a few miles, and just turned a corner, the little stone exclaimed: "Master, the spiritual power here is very strong, and the spar is here!"

There were a few workers in front of them who were mining spars, and in a few baskets, they were all piled up with medium and high-grade spars. The thunderstorm melted into the soil of the tunnel, and nests of medium-grade and high-grade spars were constantly found around it, and the number distribution was quite large, at least in hundreds of thousands of nests.

"It turns out that he is really a big moth. Lei Yu thought to himself with emotion.

With the bottom in his heart, the thunderstorm quickly returned from the original way, and when he first reached the ground, suddenly a strong divine sense came, and a cloudy and earth-surveying voice came: "There is a road in heaven that you don't go, you want to come here to drip this troubled water, Sect Master Bai has an order, I will leave you today!"

Thunderstorm in the blood thunder bead, there is a chance to practice with the minions in the late stage of the condensation vein, the actual combat level, also close to the late stage of the condensation vein, but he has never really fought with the people who cultivated in the Jindan period, at this time he knew that he had revealed their secret, this surnamed Zhao had the secret order of the sect master of the Bai Sect, and he had a mortal enmity with him, and the situation at this moment was only a duel between you and me, and there was no good thing to say, but he gritted his teeth and crossed his heart, "I will fight to the death with you today." ”

"Senior Zhao, I am on the order of the head of Su to investigate the situation in the mining area, please cooperate. Lei Yu showed the shield, and at the same time, the movements in his hands did not stop, and the five-in-one large array jade plate sank into the ground, striving to protect himself first.

"It doesn't matter what head Su and head Li, the old man only listens to the orders of Sect Master Bai, it is he who wants me to kill you today, and now that you have also gone down to the mine, knowing the truth, let you go, the person surnamed Su will never spare me, so I can't let you go out alive, are you self-determined, or do you want the old man to do it himself?" Zhao Zhi'an said viciously, for a person in the Qi refining period, how could he not take it to heart.

"I'm going to ask you, how many spars do you covet in a year, and how do you divide the account with the one surnamed Bai?"

"When you die, go to the Netherworld Mansion and ask Lord Yama!" Zhao Zhi'an said calmly, he was not in a hurry, under such a huge disparity in cultivation, he was not afraid that he would be able to run away.

"I checked a tunnel, where the middle and high-grade spars are at least 100,000 nests, and you only hand in those spars all year round, which shows how greedy you are, and what's the use of taking so many spars. Lei Yubian said that preparations were also underway.

"I didn't expect you to be a person from the fifth-layer realm of refining qi, and you actually came here for less than half a day, and you can feel the following situation clearly, compared to the several groups of people who came here to investigate before, I don't know how much more powerful, it is indeed a talent, if it weren't for the taboo you committed today, the old man also admires your ability, and it is not impossible to accept you as an apprentice." ”

"I advise you, rein in the precipice, and turn back to the shore, otherwise, your hard-won cultivation will be turned into ashes. ”

"Even then, you can't see it, okay, it seems that the old man will take it upon himself to give you a ride. Saying that, Zhao Zhi'an sent out a strong divine sense, thinking about knocking down the thunderstorm and killing him.

Thunderstorm had long been guarding against his move, and as soon as his strong divine sense was issued, Thunderstorm sacrificed the Ruyi Qiankun Stick, instantly sending out the power of the mutated stars, which was used to resist his powerful divine sense.

Zhao Zhi'an never expected that the person in the Qi refining period in front of him was not knocked down by his powerful divine sense, but instead sacrificed his weapon, wanting to resist to the death, he felt a little strange, he was stunned for a moment, and thought in his heart: "This is impossible, this invincible divine sense, even if it is a person in the foundation building period, it can't be resisted." ”

Just when he was stunned, Thunderstorm's shadowless sword stabbed at him with all his strength in an instant.

A danger warning flashed through his mind, he cultivated in the Jindan period, the defensive enchantment naturally generated, and the shadowless sword stabbed over, even if he cultivated in the Jindan period, the defensive enchantment was also quite hard, but the distance was so close, the shadowless sword of the thunderstorm was already ready to attack, and it was also exhausted with all his strength.

With a muffled sound of "pounce!", Zhao Zhi'an's defensive barrier was suddenly broken, just the cultivation of the Jindan period, the body itself has been tempered to be extremely tough, and the shadowless sword that passed through the defensive barrier only pierced a few centimeters into his chest, and it couldn't hurt him, but a heart-piercing pain made his body tremble, and he almost fell backwards, and with the inverted flight of the shadowless sword, a stream of blood spurted out.

"Okay, you actually dare to make a secret move, wait for me to let you, life is better than death, torture!" As he spoke, he clicked his fingers on his chest a few times to stop the bleeding wound. Zhao Zhi'an snorted viciously, raised his hand, and a flying sword was issued.

A sword was struck, and the back hand of the thunderstorm was immediately launched, and the three Shangyang swords suddenly flew out again, without hesitation at all, but Zhao Zhi'an, who had already prepared, made another shot by the thunderstorm, and the sleeve robe flew, and the three Shangyang swords that rushed away were easily swept aside by him, and they were not even touched.

The person of the Jindan period, the flying sword that struck, the sword intent was really powerful, and suddenly, the extremely dangerous warning in the thunderstorm's mind suddenly sounded, and the flying sword with a powerful sword intent stabbed at once, it was as fast as lightning and fire, and there was no room for thought at all.

The situation was extremely urgent, and Lei Yu wanted to dodge into the Blood Thunder Bead, but it was too late, and he saw the flying sword inserted into his right chest, but when he thought he was going to die, he had been cultivating the law of time for a while, and at this moment, it took effect, and at the same time that the flying sword was inserted into his chest, time stopped, and the flying sword had a very short pause.

It was the momentary pause of this time that saved Lei Yu's life, he took half a step back, unloading most of the strength of the flying sword, and the flying sword only entered the body a few centimeters, but it was only a little injured, and it was not enough to be fatal.

The thunderstorm was overjoyed, and the anti-Five Elements Law suddenly played a role, and the lively elements of the flying sword were absorbed at once, and the immortal flying sword became scrap iron, and it also erased the divine consciousness connection that Zhao Zhi'an had imposed on the flying sword. All this was done in less than a breath without any pause.

It seems that Lei Yu was pierced into his chest by this flying sword with a powerful momentum, and the powerful inertia carried him straight back. If this is the case, even if the thunderstorm does not die, it will be hit hard, and there will be no resistance at all.
