Chapter 152 The Mine is Underground
As agreed long ago, when Yunxuan left with Shang Yunzhi, she left her ghost power marks along the way in the places they passed by, and also told Xie Liuyin about some very obvious local landmarks.
So, when she brought Maojun and Changyue out to look for people, they quickly found the road that Yunxuan and others had taken, and followed the clues given by Yunxuan and followed them all the way.
The Phoenix Blood Mine is only an hour's journey away from Yuecheng. It is precisely because it is the closest to Yuecheng that the Qingxiao Sect's mining area has been targeted.
At first, Mao Jun and the others were somewhat skeptical about Xie Liuyin's guidance. After all, they really didn't find anything that Xie Liuyin left on Shang Yunzhi that could be tracked.
When Xie Liuyin finally stopped and pointed to a plain and said "right here", the confusion on the two people's faces became more and more intense.
"Junior Master, are you saying that Shang Yunzhi was captured here? But isn't this a plain? It doesn't look like there is a mine here, and there is no illusion nearby?" Mao Jun asked curiously.
If there is a large illusion around, there will definitely be spiritual fluctuations. Others may not be able to detect it, but Mao Jun is a Jindan cultivator, and if there is an illusion, it will definitely not escape his consciousness.
Chang Yue also felt it was strange, but she didn't ask casually, because she trusted this junior master-master very much.
Xie Liuyin looked up at the crooked tree that Yun Xuan had specifically mentioned to her, and sure enough, she found a slightly protruding black stone under the tree that required more than a dozen people to hug.
"This is it, right? The mine is underground. You won't be able to find it if you only look at what's in front of you." Xie Liuyin didn't keep them in suspense and simply told them.
The two of them had taken it for granted before, and thought that the mines were exposed to the outside like the Qingxiao Sect.
When they heard Xie Liuyin say this, they suddenly realized that, yes, mines can be built underground!
"Then let's go in and check it out now." Chang Yue was already impatient at this time.
But Xie Liuyin stopped her: "There are many guards in the mine, and there are many innocent miners. If we rush in rashly, we won't be able to catch them all. If someone escapes or captures the miners to threaten us, it will be difficult for us to deal with them."
"In my opinion, it would be better to leave a few people here to guard, and the rest to ask the city lord to send guards to surround these people as soon as possible."
As Xie Liuyin spoke, his eyes had already turned to Mao Jun. After all, he had already dealt with the mayor of Yuecheng before, so it should be easier for him to get help if he came forward to ask for it.
Mao Jun also thought this made sense. He paused before saying, "The mayor of Yuecheng doesn't like to take charge of things. I don't think there will be many guards from her. I'll find some more disciples from the garrison."
There is such a large mine here, so the Qingxiao Sect’s garrison in Yuecheng naturally sent a number of disciples to supervise it.
Xie Liuyin nodded in agreement and told Mao Jun to be careful and not to run into anyone in the mine.
After he left, Xie Liuyin took Chang Yue and hid, monitoring the entrance of the mine while planning how to attack it later.
Not long after they hid, they heard a commotion under the big tree. They looked over quickly and saw two men in black suddenly appear.
They talked for a few sentences, apparently about going into the city to buy something, and then headed towards Yuecheng.
Xie Liuyin and Chang Yue, who were far away, both had good hearing and heard what was said. They looked at each other for a moment and nodded at each other without thinking.
So, after the two men in black walked a long way away, a formation suddenly fell on them. They were imprisoned by the formation without any preparation and were instantly unable to move.
Just when the two were panicking and still guessing what had happened, Xie Liuyin and Chang Yue came out.
"Junior Master's formation is really powerful. They really can't move." Chang Yue talked more at this time.
Xie Liuyin smiled and said, "The things my master gave me are naturally not bad. Let's get started quickly to avoid any more trouble."
At Xie Liuyin's urging, the two quickly knocked out the two men in black, and then simply changed their clothes.
Although Xie Liuyin and Chang Yue were of different body shapes from the two men in black, fortunately they had all learned the art of changing their shape, and they quickly changed their shapes according to the two men on the ground.
After making sure that the body shapes and disguises were exactly the same, Xie Liuyin tied the men up and waited for Mao Jun to arrive with reinforcements before taking the two men away for interrogation.
"I heard these two people talking just now, and they mentioned that they wanted to buy the shells of iron-backed insects and the skins of fire-bone crocodiles. These are the things we asked Shang Yunzhi to carry before. I think these men in black are out to help him buy materials for refining equipment." Xie Liuyin guessed.
When they saw the two men in black coming out alone, they came up with an idea. They planned to intercept them and then disguise themselves as them to enter the underground mine.
At that time, we will cooperate with Mao Jun and others to catch all the people in the mine.
"We don't have these materials. If we go in empty-handed, we will probably be exposed soon." While Xie Liuyin was speaking, he used a sound ruler to find Mao Jun and asked him to help them collect all the materials for the magic weapons they had compiled before bringing them over.
Seeing how sharp she was and how quick she acted.
Chang Yue couldn't help but sigh in her heart: No wonder Junior Master was able to lead Qiu Yu and others to secretly plot against the Young Master of Demon Sect so many times in the Juelan Secret Realm. Anyone who can be Junior Master is indeed quite capable.
No, now we shouldn't call him the Young Master of the Demon Sect. After all, Si Yu was kicked out of this position by his biological father more than half a year ago.
The current young master of the Demon Sect is Si Yu’s second brother Si Wujiu.
However, the dispute over the succession to the Demon Sect had nothing to do with them, so Chang Yue was too lazy to mention it.
Mao Jun was very fast. Not long after Xie Liuyin and Chang Yue dressed up as men in black, he arrived with two teams of people.
Fortunately, Xie Liuyin had informed him in advance and told him how he and Chang Yue looked now, otherwise, with their strange looks, it was not known whether Mao Jun would attack them as soon as they met.
"This is a team of guards lent to us by the city lord. This is the captain of the guard, Zhang Qing. The remaining ten people are people I found from the garrison. They are all cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage." Mao Jun briefly introduced the people he brought with him, and then turned to ask about the situation on Xie Liuyin's side.
Chang Yue was not a talkative person, so Xie Liuyin simply told her what had just happened to them and their next plans.
After hearing the plan, the captain of the guard named Zhang Qing was quite surprised. He looked at Xie Liuyin and the others, as if he was surprised that they dared to take such a risk.
"Since you have made up your mind, I guess you won't listen to my advice, so I can only remind you to be careful." Mao Jun said helplessly.
Xie Liuyin nodded at him: "Don't worry, we will!"
After saying that, she and Chang Yue, who had been prepared, took the refining materials brought by Mao Jun and headed straight for the underground mine.
