"Someone was spying on you just now!"
There was nothing behind Zhang Qingyao, yet a faint voice could be heard.
As this sound appeared, the space behind her seemed to distort.
The twisted lines coalesced into a pair of eyes.
Her eyes were beautiful, as if they were born to bewitch all beings, but they contained an unyielding frost.
"It won't affect anything!"
Zhang Qingyao's answer was cold and indifferent, as if she were an emotionless robot.
If an unsuspecting person were present, they would probably think that she and the owner of the eyes were strangers.
But no one knew that the two were master and apprentice.
She is a registered member of the Nine Heavens of Yaochi in the Three Kings Palace, but she is also the only disciple of the Qingqiu Empress, one of the seven leaders of the Anti-King Alliance.
This matter was virtually unknown before and even now.
No one knows that her path in martial arts was inspired by the Queen of Qingqiu.
No one would have guessed that the Qingqiu Empress, who followed the path of immortality, would take martial artists as her disciples.
This bond between teacher and student has lasted for many years.
Zhang Qingyao's current achievements are naturally inseparable from the help of the Queen of Qingqiu.
"what ever."
The Queen of Qingqiu didn't say much.
The dragon soared through the ravine and soon rushed into another cave entrance.
The blazing sun shone through the dark mine shaft.
One after another, mutated monster figures were driven out by the flames.
They rushed towards the Fiery Dragon like moths to a flame, only to be burned to ashes.
At the same time, Zhang Qingyao somehow managed to twist open a hole.
On the other half of the cave entrance, a colossal beast was coiled up.
The giant beast was half white as snow and half pitch black as ink.
Where the two lights meet, their powers devour and annihilate each other.
The next second, the giant beast's body began to tremble.
Immediately afterwards, a halo emanated from the giant beast, and bubbles like swamps rose from its dark body.
Thud—Thud—Thud—
With a series of muffled thuds, black rain splattered from the left side of the giant beast's body.
Black rain drifted out of the cave, turning into mist and spreading outwards.
"Master, if there's no rush, could you wait until I break through to the Heavenly Palace?"
The next day I will break through and become the fourth Heavenly Palace in Black Gully City.
The mining areas I control will expand exponentially.
When that time comes...
"We'll talk about it after you break through!"
Before Zhang Qingyao could finish speaking, the Qingqiu Empress interrupted her, saying, "Born in the Chaotic Ancient Domain, compassion is the most useless emotion."
Similarly, I cannot allow these mineral dusts to delay my recovery.
The Queen of Qingqiu understood Zhang Qingyao's meaning perfectly.
It's simply that there are fewer mining areas now, and the chaotic power in each mining area is excessive.
The miners under her command will perish more quickly due to absorbing too much chaotic energy.
But the Qingqiu Empress thought this was foolish. She was injured by that Great Luo Immortal, and half of her body was corrupted by Chaos.
If she cannot expel this chaotic energy quickly, she will be the one to die.
Whether it's the Blackrock Realm or other worlds in the Chaotic Ancient Domain.
All living beings are born to use their lives to erase the corruption and taint of chaos.
That's the meaning of their existence; I've only accelerated this process!
If Zhang Qingyao doesn't break through, the Qingqiu Empress will expel the chaotic energy from her body at this speed.
Zhang Qingyao has broken through, and the Qingqiu Empress will expel the chaotic energy from her body at an even faster pace.
As for the lives of those mineral dusters, they were not even a concern for her.
In the Chaotic Ancient Domain, might makes right.
A hint of helplessness flickered in Zhang Qingyao's eyes, but that was all.
......
Mining operations proceeded at full speed for a month.
This past month has really worried Wang Fuqiang.
At this moment, he was holding a jade pendant in his hand.
The jade pendant was entirely black, with only a few specks of light emanating from its edges and corners.
More accurately, the area where the light emanates is the true color of the jade pendant.
As a foreman, Wang Fuqiang was well aware of the risks of going down into the mining area.
The most dangerous creatures are not those that might exist, since powerful creatures have already been wiped out by the higher powers.
The real danger lies in the chaotic power that silently infiltrates the body, even though... the chaotic power in the mine is already quite thin.
Once infected, it's like waiting to die.
Sinking into the black ditch was the only outcome.
There were no exceptions, and no one transgressed this rule.
Even if someone doesn't want to end up in a ditch with dignity, someone else will help them do so.
Of course, there are ways to avoid being tainted by the chaotic energy.
The Chaos-Avoiding Pendant is one such method.
This type of jade pendant circulates throughout the entire ancient chaotic mining area.
These foremen naturally had reserves.
Wang Fuqiang has always been willing to spend money to win people's hearts and minds.
Each member of the guard team is assigned a Chaos Pendant when they go down into the mines.
Normally, a Chaos Pendant can protect a person for a year, but now, in less than a month, the Chaos Pendant is almost ineffective.
Maintaining it would be extremely costly.
Should we continue using them, or retain only a few core personnel?
In the end, Wang Fuqiang decided to grit his teeth and go for it.
Money is something you can't take with you when you die.
Only money that is spent can be considered real money.
Of course, Wang Fuqiang did conduct a mobilization before issuing the Chaos Pendant.
This rousing speech brought tears to the eyes of Zhang Erdan and the others.
Once they joined the guard team, their horizons broadened far beyond what they had been back then.
They were well aware of the value of the Biyun Pendant.
Even the cheapest Chaos-Avoiding Pendant is measured in low-grade immortal stones.
......
As the days went by, Li Fan had some free time.
He still did not choose to absorb the chaotic energy, but waited.
Finally, his opportunity arrived.
Each month, guards will take turns on duty, issuing new Chaos-Avoiding Pendants and confiscating and destroying any that have run out of energy.
The so-called destruction process is actually very simple.
Every mine has its own black ditch waterway.
These waterways are inconspicuous, like puddles, at low tide.
But what lies behind it is an area that no one has ever explored.
No matter how many of these protective charms are thrown into a puddle, they will quickly disappear without a trace.
The puddle was calm and still.
The chaotic energy is faint and not strong.
Li Fan first crushed the Chaos Pendant and pushed the mixed chaotic energy into the puddle.
The next second, countless jet-black fleshy tendrils shot out from the calm puddle, entangling the chaotic energy.
There really was something there!
My senses just now were correct.
Come out here!
Li Fan reacted quickly, grabbing the fleshy beard tightly in his palm.
......
