Chapter 153: Sneaking into the Mine
Yunxuan had already told Xie Liuyin how to enter the underground mine, and knowing that she was about to come in, Yunxuan had already been waiting at the entrance of the passage.
So when she saw two tall men in black walking out of the passage, Yun Xuan squinted her eyes and looked at them for a moment. After successfully making eye contact with one of them, Yun Xuan immediately confirmed that this person was Xie Liuyin.
Because only she can discover her existence and see her.
This is Yunxuan's special method as a ghost cultivator. It is also this special ability that allowed her to follow those men in black all the way into the mine without being discovered.
"I just went in and took a look. There were a total of thirty men in black inside. Most of them were foundation-building cultivators. The few who were in the Golden Core stage were all staying in the stone chamber further inside and rarely went out."
"There are only six captured miners left now. I guess the others were beaten to death by these people." Yun Xuan had seen the clothes of the miners in the Qingxiao Sect mine before she came.
In order to distinguish the miners from outsiders, the Qingxiao Sect specially customized clothes for them, and amulets were sewn into these clothes to save the miners' lives at critical moments.
So as soon as Yunxuan came over, she quickly recognized the missing miners.
Hearing Yunxuan's words, Xie Liuyin frowned.
She was also aware that there were talismans sewn into the miners' clothes. If the talismans could save their lives, but several miners still died here, it would mean that the supervisors here were too cruel and two lives were not enough to protect them.
Xie Liuyin closed his eyes, tried hard to suppress the anger in his heart, and followed Yunxuan's lead to walk inside.
Although Chang Yue didn't understand why Xie Liuyin seemed to be very familiar with the terrain of the underground mine, she didn't ask any more questions when she saw that she was taking the right path.
I think the junior master must have some special method.
After the three of them passed several forks in the road, they finally found the place where the men in black were temporarily staying.
According to Yunxuan's description, Shang Yunzhi was imprisoned next to the men in black.
"The terrain here is very complicated. If someone comes here for the first time, they will definitely go the wrong way. This arrangement is probably to prevent outsiders from sneaking in." Yun Xuan couldn't help but boast: "Thanks to me coming here in advance to help you remember the terrain here, otherwise you would have been exposed as soon as you came in."
The corners of Xie Liuyin's mouth hidden under the mask curled up slightly, and he secretly gave Yun Xuan an affirmative look.
Seeing the two subordinates finally come back, the leader of the men in black asked them, "Did you bring everything?"
"You all call him the boss." Yun Xuan spoke at the right time.
Xie Liuyin replied very naturally: "The boss has been bought."
She took out her storage bag and took out the refining materials one by one for the person in front of her to look at.
"We bought the best batch, which cost us a lot of spirit stones." Xie Liuyin said in a rough voice.
The leader of the men in black slapped her head hard when he heard her words and said, "Come on, why are you complaining so much when I asked you to buy something? It's just a few spirit stones. When this is over, I will give you two more Phoenix Blood Stones."
When they heard the words "Phoenix Blood Stone", Xie Liuyin and Chang Yue's eyes widened unconsciously.
However, Xie Liuyin reacted quickly, and immediately pulled Chang Yue to the leader of the black-clothed men and said with a flattering smile: "Thank you, boss, thank you, boss!"
The leader of the men in black interpreted their surprised expressions as greed for the Phoenix Blood Stone.
The leader snorted, "That's all you can do. Go give all these to the weapon maker and tell him to refine them quickly. If he still can't refine a mining weapon in three days, don't blame me for being rude!"
Xie Liuyin nodded repeatedly, quickly took the things and went into the stone chamber where Shang Yunzhi was, and repeated the leader's words in front of the guard.
But when leaving, Xie Liuyin took advantage of the guard not looking at him and secretly made a gesture to Shang Yunzhi.
The moment he saw the gesture clearly, Shang Yunzhi immediately looked up at Xie Liuyin and Chang Yue's faces. When he met their exposed eyes, both of them blinked at him.
At this moment, Shang Yunzhi was completely certain that the two men in black in front of him were played by his junior master and his friends!
After all, the gesture just now was the secret signal that Xie Liuyin had agreed upon with him before.
The door of the stone chamber was closed again, but this time Shang Yunzhi was not so scared.
He simply sorted out the materials on the ground, and then said to the guard in dissatisfaction: "I am going to refine the weapon, what are you still standing here for? Let me tell you, this is the skill I need to make a living, and I won't teach anyone else!"
"You can practice it if you want. Who cares about learning from you?" the man in black said disdainfully.
Shang Yunzhi was unconvinced and said, "Who knows if you will learn secretly while standing here and watching? I don't care. If you don't leave, I won't practice."
His attitude was very tough, and the man in black had no choice but to walk out of the stone chamber cursing in order to get the magic weapon as soon as possible.
In this way, Shang Yunzhi is safe for the time being.
On the other side, Xie Liuyin and the other person who had left earlier, under Yun Xuan's suggestion, walked around the mine.
There were two things they needed to do when they sneaked in this time. First, they informed Mao Jun and others outside about the situation in the mine and the number of men in black.
The second thing is to find a way to gather the innocent miners and protect them so that they will not be implicated when the fighting breaks out.
The first point is that Chang Yue had just sent the message under the cover of Xie Liuyin.
But the second task was a bit difficult to complete.
The supervisors in this underground mine clearly treated the miners like livestock, not giving them any time to rest.
Thinking of this, Xie Liuyin found an opportunity to talk to one of the supervisors: "Brother, when can we take a break? It's really boring to keep staring at these people."
The supervisor was already in a bad mood because of this. When he heard Xie Liuyin say this to him, he immediately started to complain: "That's right. These miners work until midnight, and we have to watch until midnight too. It would be great if these untouchables could just mine obediently without us watching them."
Hearing this, Xie Liuyin's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she quickly added: "That's right! Now I just hope that the artifact cultivator can really refine a useful mining artifact. Then we can get a few more artifacts and mine all the ore as soon as possible."
"Oh, I don't know how much benefit we can get by then?" Chang Yue was not a fool. She had seen Xie Liuyin dealing with people several times, so she naturally learned a lot from him. She also took the opportunity to ask the supervisor questions.
The supervisor really had no doubts about them, and was particularly enthusiastic when talking about these things: "Who knows, maybe they can give us some gravel, and the majority will definitely be sent to the ancestors."
Ancestor?
Xie Liuyin and Chang Yue looked at each other, and they both grasped the key.
From this point of view, the mastermind behind the Phoenix Blood Mine incident is at least a cultivator with Nascent Soul cultivation level.
Xie Liuyin thought secretly in his heart.
