Chong Jiu originally wanted to leave first, but when he thought of Shu Jianyue, he pulled back the foot he had taken.
Taking advantage of the chaos, they collected some purple-gold iron that was piled up outside.
He didn't let any of them escape his notice.
"Ah... Boss, all the iron ore we mined today has disappeared!" a guard exclaimed.
Upon hearing this, Chong Jiu immediately quickened his pace.
It was my first time doing something like this, so I was a little nervous.
His speeding up caused an anomaly in the air, which the team leader immediately noticed.
"Who's there? Come out right now, or if I catch you, you'll be skinned alive, if not dead."
He uttered threatening words as he walked steadily toward the place where the commotion had originated.
Chong Jiu immediately calmed his breathing and slowly moved to the side, eventually moving behind the crowd.
The leader walked to the spot where the commotion had started before the heavy moxibustion, took out a large cleaver, and began hacking around.
He chopped for a while before stopping, then looked down at the ground, trying to figure out where the person had gone by the footprints.
He was quite certain that someone had been there, but someone who could hide their presence from him must have a high level of cultivation.
The ground in the mining area was all mud, unlike grassland where footprints could be hidden, but no matter how hard they looked, they couldn't find any footprints. There were only some messy footprints near the miners.
He looked up at the group of people, trying to find someone among them.
But since that person could hide their form, they should also be hiding in the crowd.
So the leader looked towards the gaps in the gaps.
Chong Jiu, standing at the back of the crowd, calmly watched him. He sensed the magnetic field suppressing his cultivation level getting weaker and weaker, and the corners of his lips involuntarily turned up.
Not only him, but also the long-oppressed miners felt it.
They looked at each other blankly, but no one made a sound.
They're not stupid; once this oppression is gone, it will be their chance to escape.
The guards were all equipped with magical artifacts to resist the suppression, so they didn't sense anything. They looked around warily, hoping that the person wouldn't escape.
That way, they'll have something to say.
On the other side, Yu Chuan and Kong Xuan followed Jiang Yiqing into the center of the Abyss Clan's territory. After waiting for a while without seeing Chong Jiu and Shu Jianyue come in, they couldn't help but look at Jiang Yiqing.
"What happened?"
Jiang Yiqing shook her head. "How should I know? I was the first one in."
Kong Xuan looked up at the sky; he couldn't see anything from there.
"They might have gone somewhere else. Let's look for them elsewhere later."
Just as Jiang Yiqing was about to speak, they were surrounded by a group of people.
The person walking at the front saw Jiang Yiqing and asked in surprise, "Jiang Yiqing, why are you back? Didn't you say you would never come back?"
"You've also brought two outsiders with you. You've grown quite bold."
Jiang Yiqing noticed that he instinctively shrank back. "Jiang Yuan, I need to see the clan leader. Take me there quickly."
Jiang Yuan looked at him with disdain and laughed, "Who do you think you are? Do you think you can just see the clan leader whenever you want? Don't forget, you've already been expelled from the clan."
"You're a traitor for coming back now. I've already been very lenient by not killing you on the spot. You still want to see the clan chief? Do you even have the right to do so now?"
Jiang Yiqing looked at him anxiously, wanting to step forward but was stopped by Kong Xuan.
Kong Xuan pulled him behind him and looked at Jiang Yuan coldly, saying, "If you don't want to die, take us to your clan leader."
Jiang Yuan was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter, "Haha... Who do you think you are? No matter how high your cultivation is, you can only use two levels here."
As Jiang Yuan spoke, he made a two-pointer gesture, then his face turned cold as he said, "Our clan leader is not someone that just anyone can see."
"Someone, take them to the mine."
“Yes…” Four or five people walked out from behind Jiang Yuan and headed towards them.
After Jiang Yuan said those words, Yu Chuan tried it out and found that he could only use two levels of his cultivation.
What's going on?
Jiang Yiqing forcefully pulled Kong Xuan behind her, glared at Jiang Yuan and roared, "Are you a pig? Can't you see anything different about me?"
After yelling, her face turned pale, and she clenched her hands tightly, her whole body trembling.
Kong Xuan shook his head. He was clearly quite strong, so why was he so timid?
Jiang Yuan and the other five people were taken aback by his shout and looked him over.
Jiang Yuan's eyes widened suddenly. "You, how could you?"
Where is your service seal?
Jiang Yiqing took a deep breath and said, "There is a Venerable One who can remove the servitude mark from our bodies, so please take me to the clan leader quickly."
Jiang Yuan stared at him for a while, then turned to look at Kong Xuan. Was it him?
Didn't I offend him just now?
Jiang Yuan took a breath and asked, "Did that Venerable One come along?"
Jiang Yiqing glanced at Kong Xuan but didn't say anything.
Kong Xuan slapped him on the head and looked at Jiang Yuan coldly, saying, "Take us there. Don't ask anything else. You have no right to know."
He returned to Jiang Yuan what he had said about Jiang Yiqing.
Jiang Yuan's face turned pale, but when he thought that he might be that Venerable One, he lowered his eyes and suppressed the ferocity in them.
Yu Chuan was anxious to know where Shu Jianyue and Chong Jiu had gone, so he glared at Jiang Yuan and said, "Hurry up and lead the way, don't waste time here."
Jiang Yuan glanced at him, nodded, and winked at the men he had brought, "Come with me."
Kong Xuan didn't miss his wink. He glanced at the person who had left first, then pulled Yu Chuan aside, signaling him to be more careful.
Yu Chuan nodded and followed closely behind him.
Although the two were not much different in terms of cultivation, Kong Xuan was much more composed.
It was also Shu Jianyue's contracted divine beast, so Yu Chuan trusted him a lot.
Although they had landed in the center of the tribe's territory, it still took them quite a while to get to the tribe chief.
Everyone who passed by cast curious glances at them.
Jiang Yiqing's neck was almost tucked into her stomach.
Kong Xuan couldn't stand it anymore and lifted him up. "Stand up straight, or I won't mind shaving your head off."
Jiang Yiqing's neck immediately straightened.
Kong Xuan looked around and found that everyone here carried some of that person's aura and energy.
This realization made his face turn ugly, and Jiang Yiqing was so frightened that he wanted to shrink his neck down again.
Yu Chuan walked over to him and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong? Did you find something?"
Kong Xuan glanced at him and shook his head. "It's nothing. We'll talk about it when we meet your parents."
Jiang Yuan led them to the reception hall and said, "Wait here for a while, I will go and inform the clan leader."
Jiang Yiqing nodded vigorously. He grew up here, so he naturally knew where he was and what the procedure was for meeting the clan leader.
Yu Chuan found a stone stool to sit on and looked around.
Looking around, the houses were arranged in an orderly manner and were all exquisitely built.
They were in the center of the area, at a high altitude, where they could see very far.
