Two thousand years ago, a strand of sword light flashed across the nine heavens, tearing through the sky.
The world recovered, and martial arts began to revive.
Two thousand years later...
Lin Xuan was unaware of Su Changfeng and the others' conversation. He arrived at the Gobi Desert and found the highest point to sit down.
Then, just wait patiently.
This oasis is quite large, and the Tianyun placer gold vein beneath it is even larger than Zhuo Qinghe and the others predicted.
He observed it with his supernatural ability to sense aura, and found it to be powerful and extraordinary.
However, at the same time, a strong aura of calamity also arose.
This indicates that the coming period will be very turbulent, and this oasis will become a place of trouble and a living hell.
A major war is inevitable.
The Tianyun Spirit Clan will not let this go easily, and there are even demons and evil spirits on their side.
Lin Xuan did not believe that the few soldiers at the entrance could stop the demons from sending another large army.
After all, as long as the Heavenly Cloud Secret Realm is open, anyone who meets the requirements can enter and exit continuously.
Having suffered such a great loss, the evil forces will surely send people in again.
Fortunately, there are many restrictions on entering the Tianyun Secret Realm.
Not only can their strength not exceed the Purple Mansion Realm, but the number of people also seems to be limited, probably not exceeding ten thousand.
Lin Xuan was unaware of the specifics; they were sent up by Lu Zhantian.
That rainbow-shaped divine bridge must be quite extraordinary; it's the key to reaching the island. The demons and evil spirits will likely have something similar.
It's like a pass for entering and exiting.
"Tianyun Sand Gold must be mine, no matter who tries..."
Lin Xuan muttered to himself, his body surging with murderous aura.
He closed his eyes and began to regulate his breathing, maintaining peak condition at all times, with the large black bow placed in front of him.
This position is the highest point in the entire oasis; if there is any movement anywhere, his arrows can be shot without hindrance.
Time passed little by little.
Zhuo Qinghe and his team were capable; after allocating manpower, they immediately began mining Tianyun placer gold.
This stuff is different from other minerals; it doesn't need refining, you can just mine it directly.
Tianyun placer gold is mixed in with the associated stone minerals.
All the mining team has to do is extract the rock, break it up, and extract the Tianyun gold inside.
The process is simple, but it's hard work.
Fortunately, those who came this time were all elites from the First Army, and their strength was all at the Sea of Wheels Realm.
Nowadays, the speed and efficiency of mining as a miner are unmatched by ordinary miners.
One punch from him could shake the earth.
The entire mining team was divided into one hundred points, mining the vein from different directions, which was very efficient.
at the same time.
The other teams that had separated after entering the Heavenly Cloud Secret Realm have reunited.
However, the number of people was significantly less.
When they first arrived, there were nearly 10,000 people, but now there are less than 7,000.
Clearly, these teams have suffered significant losses.
However, Lin Xuan did not expect that they would have a way to contact and locate each other. It seems that their separation was pre-arranged.
"Heh... Old scoundrel Lu, you really did make many preparations..."
Lin Xuan chuckled softly.
But nothing was done.
The more people there are, the faster the mining of Tianyun placer gold will be, and the happier he will be.
However, Lin Xuan often used his Qi Observation ability to investigate and found that the calamity aura above the oasis was becoming increasingly dense, which gave him a premonition.
Something is bound to happen in the next couple of days.
"Come on! Kill as many as you come..."
Lin Xuan muttered to himself and closed his eyes again.
He didn't enter the ancient era, not even these past few days, but instead focused on guarding this mineral vein, which is very important.
At least 100,000 jin of Tianyun gold dust.
That's enough for him to negotiate terms.
Time flies.
Two more days have passed in the blink of an eye.
Boom... Boom! Bang!
On this day, Lin Xuan was nourishing his soul with the Nourishing Spirit Technique when a deafening roar suddenly erupted from the horizon.
A terrifying, malevolent aura, like a surging river, came from the horizon.
"Oh no, the demon army is coming..."
Such a commotion could not be kept secret.
The news alerted all the human soldiers, and even the second team mining below knew about it, rushing out of the mine.
"Everyone, form ranks!"
Zhuo Qinghe roared and rose into the air, clad in armor and wielding a long spear.
A menacing aura filled the sky.
The power it unleashed even surpassed the limits of palace creation, making it comparable to some experts in the Nascent Soul Realm.
"Holy crap, this guy was hiding his strength all along."
Ling Zhan glanced at Zhuo Qinghe in the air and couldn't help but grin and curse.
"Stop talking nonsense and gather with the main army. If you wait any longer, the demon army will come and you won't be able to escape..." Su Changfeng shouted, "Members of Team Twenty-Three, follow me."
Except Lin Xuan..."
Damn it!
Upon hearing this, Lin Xuan couldn't help but roll his eyes.
What do you mean by "except for me, young master"?
It makes it seem like I'm not a member of Team 23.
Lin Xuan stood up, squinting as he looked at the demonic army sweeping in from afar. The sinister and malevolent aura soared into the sky, like a raging river. Judging from this, it was more than one level stronger than the tens of thousands of troops on the island earlier.
"They really spared no expense, actually deploying three thousand demonic-level monsters, and the rest were all elites among the Nether-level monsters."
Lin Xuan sneered, a strange light flashing in his eyes.
He didn't rush to take action.
Instead, he looked at Zhuo Qinghe and the others.
These people had been keeping a low profile until they discovered the mineral vein, then they jumped out and reaped the benefits.
With a formidable enemy at our doorstep, it's time to let them taste what it's like to be on the front lines.
