“Such a dense demonic aura!” Lu Yang frowned. “Is this the mine of the He family and the Dongdan family?”

He and An Zijin were both recruits under Ji Fengyao, recruited from other cities.

When Ji Fengyao and Bai Yusheng came here last time, none of them had been transferred to Ji Fengyao's side yet.

However, the fact that the Dongdan family discovered zinc-iron ore in the Monster Forest was something that almost every cultivator on the Maple Moon Continent had heard of.

So when Lu Yang saw the mine carts and the zinc and iron ore scattered all over the ground, he guessed where he was.

Neither he nor An Zijin expected that the mineral vein discovered by the Dongdan family would actually be a den of demons!

No wonder the Dongdan family has been recruiting miners more and more aggressively over the past six months, yet they haven't shown any sign of reaching full capacity.

Mining in this hellish place, not many people would be tempted to die!

“Miss, you’re not planning to go in, are you?” An Zijin had a bad feeling. “The demonic energy in there is so strong, it’s no joke.”

"Besides the demonic energy, didn't you sense anything else?" Ji Fengyao asked, turning her head to the side.

"Heartbeat?" An Zijin replied.

“You mean the sound of a heartbeat,” Lu Yang said almost simultaneously with An Zijin, but then added, “But the demonic energy here is so dense that there can’t be any living creatures, unless he himself is a demon.”

Ji Fengyao knew, of course, that beating heart was not a demon.

However, the demonic energy in the mine had been accumulating for too long and was now leaking out wildly. She really didn't have a better way to think of at the moment, so she could only patiently wait for the demonic energy in the cave to dissipate on its own and try to go in again when the demonic energy was not so dense.

Her only worry now is:

Is Yan Hanxing a demon? Has he already entered? Will he be the first to obtain the Immortal's Heart?

The heart of an immortal is of no use to demons, but it can pose a threat to them.

If the monster knew of its existence, it would definitely try everything to destroy it!

“Qian Youying, if your family is truly a descendant of the Snow Fox Clan, then besides those vague legends and the Snow Fox bloodline, there is nothing else passed down. This Immortal Heart was clearly not buried alive, but intended to see the light of day one day. Your ancestors never said how to retrieve it,” Ji Fengyao asked, still finding it somewhat unbelievable.

"No, there is only one instruction regarding how to obtain the Heart of an Immortal, and this instruction is the same as the version circulating outside. It is obtained by a destined person," Qian Youying said truthfully.

Ji Fengyao: "..."

Ha, what a lucky person got it.

That old fox didn't consider what would happen if his master's heart was taken by a demon.

Just then, the Third Elder of the Dongdan family, along with Dongdan Yinxiang, arrived at the mine with dozens of people.

Seeing the devastation at the mine and the endless stream of demonic energy emanating from the mine shafts, their expressions turned grim.

The outside world only knows that this mine is a zinc-iron mine. The Dongdan family monopolizes a zinc-iron mine, which has already made the Zhou family very dissatisfied.

With such a big commotion at the mine, everyone knows there's something fishy going on.

In addition, the Zhou family has already started arguing with Dongdan over Zhou Boqing's birthday gift and Zhou Mingxuan's death.

If they find out about the situation at the mine, they certainly won't let it go.

I'm afraid that the Zhou family and the Dongdan family, the main clans of the Danling Continent, will turn against each other because of this!

"Sixth Elder, what do you think we should do now?" Dong Dan Yinxiang asked humbly, which pleased the Sixth Elder.
