In a blink of an eye, Ling Tian had been in this new world for more than a month. Being a low-key mining slave for more than a month had also allowed him to obtain a lot of information.
The Xingyi Sect is a subordinate sect of the Xingyi Sect on the border of Zhao State. The sect leader, Rosen, is an outer sect elder of the Xingyi Sect. He was sent to Wushi Town to establish a force and collect resources. Now that he has achieved great perfection in foundation building, he is the best among the forces within a hundred miles.
Another day passed. Ling Tian completed today's excavation task. He received his portion of food from Liang Yu and walked silently to a corner to eat quietly.
After a while, Liang Yu rang the bell, gathering all the miners together, and announced in a very arrogant manner, "Listen up, everyone! Don't say I'm mean to you. I have great news for you now."
Everyone looked at each other, not believing that anything good could happen to this guy.
Seeing the deserted scene, Liang Yu's face naturally turned bad. He was about to whip someone with a gloomy face, but he held back when he remembered the request from above.
"What's with your attitude? I'm bringing you hope, you know? As long as you get it done, the slave mark will be removed and you'll be free again. You can also join our Xingyi Sect as an outer disciple and enjoy many resources. How can you not be interested in such a good thing?"
"Eliminate the slave mark?"
Liang Yu's words undoubtedly shocked everyone greatly. Eliminating the slave mark was something they had always dreamed of, but they were not newcomers to the world of martial arts, and there was no free lunch in the world.
"Director Liang, please tell us what we are going to do specifically?" Everyone nominated a representative and asked cautiously.
"Tsk, what else do you have? Are you going to hunt beasts? It's just mining. The mining area has just been discovered, and the upper sect is in urgent need of a group of miners to dig. This is still internal information and has not been passed on to the other sects. If I hadn't seen you usually behave, I wouldn't tell you. It's up to you to decide whether to go or not. If you come here today, this store will be gone..."
“I’ll go, I’ll go…”
Before Liang Yu finished speaking, Huang Pinliang eagerly raised his hand to sign up. With the leader in the lead, dozens of miners behind him were already shaken. After a while, more and more miners came. Liang Yu, who was in charge of the registration, was grinning from ear to ear. He could get five small-grade spirit stones for each head. With so many people, he made a lot of money.
Ling Tian, hiding nearby, had already seen through Liang Yu and Huang Pinliang's double act. This trip was bound to be fraught with danger. If he didn't sign up when everyone else had, he wouldn't be in any good situation. He was forced to sign up. He was still very much interested in the new mine; after all, it offered a considerable profit, and this was his unique method. As for the slave seal, he wasn't worried at all. It was merely a curse cast by a cultivator in the early stages of Foundation Establishment. For someone like him, possessing the soul power of the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment, breaking it was a piece of cake.
"Hey, if it weren't for the Void Beast attack, I would have had to use those spirit stones, and I don't know what I would have done to steal."
Recalling the scene at that time, Ling Tian's face was full of heartache. Except for those top-grade spirit stones, all the spirit stones were devoured by the Soul-Devouring Immortal-Destroying Sword. Of course, if it weren't for it, he would not have survived here.
The next day, Liang Yu came to the rest area of the mine early. His arrogant nature remained unchanged. He cracked his whip and said, "Sleep, sleep, sleep. If you don't sleep, you will die. Hurry up and gather. It's time to set off. If you are slow, I will punish you."
After leaving the mine, Liang Yu led a group of people to the exit of Wu Shi Town. When they arrived, there were already hundreds of people gathered there. They were all mining slaves from several major forces under the Xingyi Sect and independent cultivators who were coerced and bribed.
At the front stood two young men in red Taoist robes, and behind them stood a dozen young men and women in green robes. It seemed that the two red-robed men were of much more noble status.
As expected, when Ling Tian swept his divine sense, he found that the two red-robed men were both in the middle stage of foundation building, and the one behind them was also a master in the late stage of Qi training.
Seeing Ling Tian and the others arrive, the slightly more handsome man in the red robe spoke first, "Now that we're all here, let's set off. Please be advised that everyone must follow orders. If anyone harbors any doubts, don't blame me for being merciless."
As soon as he finished speaking, the man grasped the sword, and surged spiritual power poured into it. Then he shouted angrily and launched a devastating attack on the open space not far away, smashing a large pit more than ten feet deep and wide. The miners were frightened so much that they felt a chill down their spines and gasped.
The man was very satisfied with the miner's terrified expression. He then waved his hand, stepped onto the flying sword, and shouted behind him, "Let's go!"
Hundreds of miners with chains on their feet moved together, making a clanging sound. The scene was quite spectacular. Ling Tian was as low-key as ever, walking behind the main group at the end of the team.
Two days later, the atmosphere in the team became a little heavy, because everyone found that the direction they were heading to was actually the border between Zhao and Liang. The two countries were sworn enemies, and the probability of encountering the enemy in sensitive areas was very high, which made everyone feel uneasy.
As time went by, the atmosphere of panic in the team became more and more intense, but they had to keep it in their hearts due to the strength of the Xingyi Sect disciples.
At night, the mountain forest was obscured by thick fog, covering an extremely wide area. Even with spiritual awareness, it was impossible to discern the exact direction. The red-robed man in the lead frowned, and after a brief conversation with another red-robed man beside him, he shouted, "Recover where you are. Everyone, come closer. Junior brothers, you will guard the perimeter."
After a whole day's journey, the miners were exhausted, hungry and cold. They wolfed down their coarse grains and then lay down to sleep. Only a few men pretended to sleep, and no one knew what they were thinking about. One of them was Ling Tian.
With his eyes closed, he used his spiritual sense to cover the area of dozens of meters at all times. He was not afraid of being discovered, because unless a strong man in the middle stage of the Jindan realm appeared, he would not be noticed.
In the second half of the night, Ling Tian suddenly opened his eyes, then closed them and pretended to sleep. He found that there was a group of men in black in the thick fog, and their strength was slightly higher than his.
"Now we're going to have a good show."
In the thick fog, a man in black made a gesture, and his men quickly dispersed. After a few breaths, the man got the signal, and a ruthless look appeared in his eyes. He shouted in a low voice, "Attack!"
At that moment, a light curtain suddenly rose outside the location where Ling Tian and the others were.
"Demon Trapping Formation! Oh no, enemy attack!"
A cry of surprise woke up the sleeping crowd. The disciples of Xingyi Sect gathered together with weapons in their hands, and had no intention of paying any attention to the hundreds of miners behind them.
"Hehehe...Brother Leon, it's been a long time since we last met. I miss you so much!"
A sinister male voice rang out from outside the light curtain. The red-robed man inside narrowed his eyes and suddenly shouted in fear, "Luo Jingting, you... actually broke through to the late stage!!!"
