The One Qi Sect, a famous sect in Cangzhou, has a Martial Saint in charge, but it does have a fourth-grade master of supernatural powers, so it can barely be considered a major force.

The man at the head of the group was Jiang Lang, a true disciple of the One Qi Sect, who was also the oldest and most powerful among them.

He had already reached the peak of the Condensing Qi Realm, with an extremely solid foundation, and had collected all the resources needed to form his core. After entering the secret realm, he successfully formed his core.

His mission to protect his fellow disciples and gather evil spirits here was to take them to this place.

While I'm at it, I'll also try to get some benefits.

After all, this secret realm has many benefits, and a Golden Core Grandmaster like him can usually do very well here; such opportunities are rare on ordinary days.

They picked off the weaker, higher-level blood beasts, and obtained a considerable number of high-grade blood beast crystals.

At this point, they had already merged their internal energy and entered the eighth level of the Qi Condensation stage.

"Junior Brother Ye, you've done it again."

Han Yunshu's voice was soft, and she was gentle and beautiful, but a hint of greed flashed in her eyes.

Along the way, thanks to Junior Brother Ye's treasure-hunting rat, they have made some gains each time.

This time we took a long detour to find this place.

I never expected that this remote place would turn out to be such a hidden paradise.

Normally, we would underestimate this unassuming junior brother Ye.

Ye Sheng, the young man who was called upon, scratched his head and said somewhat shyly:

"Senior Sister Han, you flatter me. It's all what I should do."

Normally, Senior Sister Han was the only person who was kind to him, so this praise made him feel flattered.

Seeing the group of people in front of him chatting and laughing, completely disregarding them, Qin Tian clenched his fists tightly, but still dared not utter a sound.

Jiang Lang looked at Qin Tian's timid appearance and said with a smile:

"Looks like you've had quite a haul."

"Tell me, what treasures did you get?"

"We only have some cheap ores here. If you need them, we will gladly offer them to you."

Qin Tian looked respectful.

Jiang Lang's expression changed slightly, and his tone became more serious: "Oh? They're all just 'cheap'?"

"We are somewhat interested in the ore, and also somewhat interested in what you have, but of course we're not going to steal it."

"You can borrow it, and of course... you can buy it too."

"Please, everyone, treat others with sincerity!"

Han Yunshu also revealed a gentle smile, looked at the Qin family members, and said softly:

"Why don't we go in and see where these ores are?"

"Or perhaps the ore is on you? Could you please take it out and let us see it?"

One plays the good cop, and the other plays the bad cop.

Qin Tian remained respectful and said in a deep voice:

"You flatter us, senior. We didn't get any ore from our bodies; it's all inside the cave."

He still wore a smile on his face, but his heart sank to the bottom.

There wasn't much ore in the cave; most of his previous harvest was in his storage bag.

If these people go inside, they will definitely find something is wrong.

Their Qin family was nothing compared to a behemoth like the Qi Sect.

Even if they revealed their names, the other party probably wouldn't pay them any attention.

Besides, he wasn't naive enough to think that they would still be alive after handing over the items.

The other two guest ministers were equally somber.

The group exchanged glances, all understanding that although the other party was speaking politely now, they were likely planning to silence them later.

But escaping isn't easy either.

Given the close proximity, can they really escape?

Qin Tian maintained his smile, intending to delay a little longer. However, when he saw the little mouse in Ye Sheng's arms staring intently at him, he immediately sensed something was wrong and shouted:

"Go into the cave."

Qin Tian tossed out a packet of lime powder, briefly obstructing the view of the Yi Qi Sect members, before quickly turning and rushing into the mine.

The cave is a maze of interconnected passages, leading to who-knows-where.

They speculated that mining inside might be more profitable.

However, the area was filled with malevolent blood beasts, including some powerful high-level malevolent blood beasts. To be on the safe side, they dared not venture too deep.

They just kept mining on the outside of the mine.

Even so, the profits are still considerable.

Unexpectedly, now that they have nowhere else to turn, they have no choice but to rely on these malevolent blood beasts to stop the enemy.

Going inside would at least allow us to temporarily escape their pursuit and give us a glimmer of hope!

The three moved in perfect unison; this was their planned escape route. Without any hesitation, they unleashed their full power and charged straight into the mine.

At this time.

Li Ming's voice drifted over:

"What's going on? The one in front doesn't seem to be your cousin, does he?"

"They seem to be from the One Qi Sect?"

"The One Qi Sect?"

Li Ming said he had never heard of it.

In the past few days, he and Qin Yun have been searching some nearby locations.

Although there wasn't always anything available every time I went, I still gained quite a bit.

With his formidable strength, he repeatedly slew several high-level evil blood beasts and obtained a considerable amount of high-grade evil energy crystals.

During that time, he encountered many people who tried to kill him, and naturally, they all became victims of his blade.

It also brought him a lot of life energy, about 100%.

The martial world is not just about fighting and killing. When Li Ming happened to encounter a group of people, although they were not weak, they were very friendly, so he did not take the initiative to make a move.

Instead, they chose to exchange the evil energy crystals for treasures.

The other party was very polite, directly offering a premium price to purchase it, and also provided information about the top-grade evil energy.

Li Ming also learned the location.

Knowing that many forces have already arrived, they plan to join forces to challenge the Blood Mountain Army on the last day.

Upon learning this news, Li Ming felt relieved.

For Qin Yun's safety, he planned to let Qin Yun reunite with the Qin family first, and then he would go alone to seek the supreme evil energy.

Unexpectedly, he happened to witness the scene right in front of him.

At this moment, Jiang Lang's mocking voice rang out:

"I didn't expect that after three ran away, two more came, but they're even weaker, and they don't seem to have any treasures."

Upon hearing this, Li Ming looked at the group of people.

The leader had a stable aura, not at all like someone who had just broken through to the Golden Core stage. He must have a solid foundation and was accumulating experience before unleashing his full potential.

The remaining person was unremarkable and not worth mentioning.

Li Ming said calmly, "I wonder if there's anything you gentlemen can help you with?"

Jiang Lang smiled and said, "It's nothing, it's just that we're a bit poor and want to borrow some money."

Behind him, Ye Sheng looked at the treasure-hunting rat in his arms, which was pointing its little paws at Li Ming frantically because of its squeaking.

"Senior Brother Jiang, this person definitely has a great treasure on him!"

Ye Sheng couldn't help but speak up.

He had never seen the treasure-hunting rat so excited before, and he himself became somewhat excited as well.

"oh?"

Jiang Lang was overjoyed; he hadn't expected such an unexpected surprise.

Li Ming frowned and said, "You don't recognize me?"

This surprised him. He had made it onto the list of people and had made quite a stir a few days ago, but he didn't expect that none of the other party recognized him.

Upon hearing this...

Jiang Lang was taken aback, his brows furrowed, and he looked Li Ming up and down, only to find that he did not recognize the name.

He then snorted coldly, "I don't care who you are, kid. I advise you to be smart."

"Hand over the stuff honestly, and maybe you can save your life."

Jiang Lang was extremely arrogant, showing no regard for Li Ming whatsoever.

In his view.

However, he is only at the Condensation Realm, and the woman next to him is also only at the Condensation Realm; they are nothing to fear.

The other disciples of the One Qi Sect did not show any unusual reaction; instead, they looked at Li Ming with amusement.

It's like watching a clown.

Although Li Ming had caused quite a stir before, not everyone went to watch that battle.

A few people didn't take it seriously...

Unfortunately, these were the people from the Qi Sect.
