Upon reaching the mine entrance, Gu Yan walked straight past the three hundred or so patrolling soldiers.
"Hey, you can't come in here now. And what are you trying to do with your head covered?" a junior leader said.
A man stepped forward, pointing a gun at Gu Yan. With a flick of his wrist, hundreds of jade nails flew out and pierced the necks of a hundred men.
"Enemy attack! Fire!" someone shouted instantly.
Gu Yan gave a cruel smile and rushed into the crowd in an instant. Jade nails, stained with blood, flew everywhere, and in less than a minute, they all fell to the ground.
He quickly took out the Soul-Summoning Banner, shook it, and absorbed the three hundred souls into it. He then put the corpses into the insect-raising space.
He walked slowly into the depths, knowing there were hundreds more searching inside. He figured they were all unscrupulous criminals who were just trying to extort money, and he had no pity for them.
About ten minutes later, they harvested more than two hundred souls and corpses.
He then planned to leave the area and escape the mine quickly from another direction, knowing that the gunshots would attract a large force.
Sure enough, as soon as they left, several armored vehicles arrived, followed by thousands of people, and they immediately surrounded the area.
Gu Yan looked at the armored vehicle and felt that he couldn't possibly shake this iron giant.
So he extended his divine sense and, although he couldn't hear what they were saying, he did hear a few words: martial artist, old monster playing with a woman. Then he saw several people riding motorcycles in one direction.
Gu Yan followed curiously, eager to see just how powerful the martial artist was.
They went to an extremely remote place, but a small villa was built there. After a while, they saw the soldiers being driven out, and one of them seemed to have been slapped, his facial bones were broken.
"What are we going to do? If we don't invite this old monster over, we'll probably get another beating," one of them said, looking very conflicted.
"What can we do? This old monster is obsessed with women. He just got a great beauty, and he definitely doesn't want to leave."
Gu Yan listened to their conversation, then directly used a few jade nails to end their lives. He took out the Soul-Summoning Banner, shook it, and collected their corpses into the insect-raising space.
He put all the feeder insects on that pile of corpses, and they started tearing at both the mature and immature ones.
Gu Yan walked towards the small villa inside, and before he got close, he heard a familiar voice.
"Don't touch me! If my family finds out, they'll kill you! Waaah!" Then came another cry.
Yang Zihan?
Gu Yan muttered something to himself and then walked directly into the villa. His divine sense had already spotted an extremely thin old man with wrinkled skin and a face that looked older than tree bark.
He was touching Yang Zihan's body at that moment. Even through her clothes, he could still feel her curves, which made Yang Zihan feel uncomfortable.
"Hehehe, little beauty, I've lived all these years and this is the first time I've seen someone as beautiful as you. Come with me today, and I'll treat you to the best of everything here from now on," the withered old man said lecherously. My mouth was practically watering.
"You'd better let me go, or my family will raze this place to the ground," Yang Zihan threatened again.
"Even if I really have that ability, so what? At worst, I'll just run away. What do I care about the lives and deaths of those warlords?" the old man said with a disdainful laugh.
Gu Yan kicked the door open, and the old man looked over.
"Who are you? Don't you know that everyone who comes near here is dead?" the old man threatened.
"Gu Yan, why did you open it too? Run! Go get help! This old man is very powerful!" Yang Zihan said hurriedly.
The gaunt old man suddenly pulled a gleaming dagger from his pocket and lunged forward. But before he could even touch Gu Yan, he punched him in the face and sent him flying.
"Mysterious Realm, you are a Mysterious Realm expert?" the withered old man exclaimed, forgetting his pain.
So Gu Yan manipulated the jade nails to pin the old man's limbs and meridians to the ground, with one nail precisely pinned to the fifth limb.
The room was filled with the screams of the withered old man.
"Old man, if you call me that again, I'll kill you right now," Gu Yan said, looking at him.
The old man instantly suppressed his screams, his whole body convulsing. Although he was in terrible shape, he still wanted to live.
Gu Yan walked over and untied Yang Zihan's rope.
"Gu Yan, thank you so much for saving me again," Yang Zihan said somewhat embarrassedly.
"How did you get caught by this old man?" Gu Yan asked her, remembering that the other party seemed to have a group of guards.
"I had just escaped my bodyguard's sight when this old man kidnapped me," she said, touching her chest with lingering fear.
Gu Yan's eyebrows twitched as he read this. How come he hadn't noticed before? He's quite talented. If he had a few more years, he could probably be a level above.
"Silly woman."
Gu Yan muttered something to himself, walked over to the old man, and looked down at him.
"What did you mean by the Mystic Realm you just mentioned?"
"You don't even know what a martial artist is?" the old man exclaimed in surprise.
Gu Yan manipulated the jade nail to move again, and instantly a pig-like scream rang out.
"Ahhh, I'll talk, I'll talk! Martial artists are people who can cultivate. We are much stronger than ordinary people," the old man said hoarsely.
"So what is your current strength?" Gu Yan asked again.
"I entered the late stage of the Yellow Realm five years ago."
