Ji Chenhai had not yet spoken.

Shang Xiye said in a deep voice, "I suspect that the Black Purgatory is also behind Ji Cunbai. Otherwise, as the leader of the martial arts alliance, Ji Cunbai and I have no connection whatsoever. There is no reason for him to involve the entire martial arts world in the assassination of me. Unless, there is someone or an organization behind him that he cannot afford to offend."

"Hey! What exactly is this Black Purgatory? They've really messed with our family! First it's a blood feud, then they arrest my disciples, then they kill my son-in-law. Do they think I'm made of clay?" Ji Chenhai was genuinely furious, his teeth chattering.

No one knows a father better than his son, so Ji Fengming immediately asked curiously, "Father, what are you planning to do?"

Ji Chenhai: "Quietly transfer all our people here, let's all mine together!"

Ji Fengming: "..."

Ji Fengyao: "..."

Shang Xiye: "..."

Black Owl: "..."

Xique: "Boss, you're awesome! We're short-handed, so let's call some more people. We'll finish this quickly, mine the mine, and head to the Di Kingdom to deal with those bastards!"

Bai Lu: "???"

Mining? What kind of mining?

Weren't they going to fight in the Di Kingdom?

"Why are you all looking at me like that?" Ji Chenhai blushed as he saw everyone looking at him with complicated expressions. He stiffened his neck and said, "We can't win against them head-on now. We might as well mine the spirit mine together, then use the spirit stones to improve our strength, and then go and settle accounts with those bastards."

"Yes, Father-in-law is shrewd and calculating." Shang Xiye held the little bandit's soft hand, and a flash of inspiration struck him. He immediately flattered her.

Shadowless, Traceless: "..."

Master, you've changed!

You've even learned how to flatter people!

Ji Fengming burst into laughter, exclaiming, "He wasn't being cunning; he was just a coward! I never thought, hahaha, even Dad can be a coward sometimes."

Even Black Owl couldn't hold onto Ji Fengming, and could only subconsciously pay attention to Ji Chenhai's movements.

Just as Ji Chenhai was about to slap him, Hei Xiao quickly pulled Ji Fengming aside and took the blow with his own back.

"Xiao Chen, don't stop me! This kid's got a problem if you don't discipline him for three days. I'm going to give him a good beating today!" Ji Chenhai knew his strength; even if he hit someone, it wouldn't hurt.

Seeing Hei Xiao being beaten, Ji Fengming panicked and grabbed Hei Xiao's shoulder, jumping back and shouting, "Dad, why did you hit Xiao Chen? Don't you have any sense of reason?!"

"I accidentally let it slip. If you're so tough, don't hide behind him. Come out here, and I promise I won't beat you to death, you little brat..."

Watching the father and son bickering as usual, completely disregarding the intrigues and schemes of the Black Purgatory, everyone felt much more relaxed.

Inside the yellow-signed upper room of the inn.

Cao Jinchang frowned as he looked at the two gang members in front of him who were missing limbs, and asked incredulously, "Thirty of you went into the mountains, and only the two of you came back?"

“Boss, we were lucky to come back. We found a cliff with a deep pool below, otherwise we would all have perished there,” cried the gang member who had lost an arm.

Gang member B immediately cried out, "Boss, the business of selling mountain goods in Mangcheng is truly impossible now. We don't know what happened in those Mangshan Mountains, but suddenly many extremely powerful ferocious beasts have appeared. Some of them can breathe fire, some can breathe water, and some have incredibly hard and sharp claws that can shatter our knives into pieces with a single swipe! There's also a... strange thing whose wings blot out the sky, and the feathers on its body shoot down faster than arrows, easily shattering stones. Many of our brothers have died at the hands of this thing!"
