The taxi driver dropped Liu Xiaoyuan off about a kilometer from the construction site and stopped, refusing to drive any further.
As a taxi driver, he really does believe in such things, just as he said, it's better to believe it than not, since believing it won't hurt him.
"Young man, I'll drop you off here. The Feiyang construction site is about a kilometer ahead," the taxi driver said.
Liu Xiaoyuan didn't press the taxi driver; after paying, he got out of the car.
Before getting out of the car, the taxi driver kindly said to Liu Xiaoyuan, "Young man, be careful. If anything seems amiss, run away immediately, understand?"
Liu Xiaoyuan smiled and nodded to the taxi driver, saying, "Okay, thank you, sir."
As soon as Liu Xiaoyuan got out of the car, the taxi driver immediately turned around and drove away, unwilling to stay there for even a second longer, as if staying there for even a second longer would endanger his life.
After the taxi drove away, Liu Xiaoyuan smiled and then walked towards the construction site.
Regardless of whether the construction site was haunted or not, Liu Xiaoyuan dared not be careless. After all, he knew nothing about the situation inside, so it was best to be cautious and not lose Jingzhou due to carelessness.
For Liu Xiaoyuan, the one-kilometer journey was a piece of cake, and he soon arrived at the Feiyang construction site.
The construction site gates were tightly closed, and there were no lights inside. It seemed that something had really happened, causing the workers to be afraid to rest on the construction site at night.
The fact that the gate was tightly closed was no problem for Liu Xiaoyuan, a master of the third level of the Innate Realm. Liu Xiaoyuan easily crossed the high wall and entered the construction site. As soon as he entered the construction site, Liu Xiaoyuan saw that the construction had just started. Excavators were everywhere, and piles of yellow mud had not yet been transported away.
As soon as Liu Xiaoyuan entered the construction site to investigate, he heard a noise reaching his ears. It seemed that someone else had arrived. Liu Xiaoyuan immediately went to hide in the workers' quarters to see who it was.
Soon, two figures came into Liu Xiaoyuan's line of sight. The two flew in like birds, so they must be cultivators.
The two people were a man and a woman, but Liu Xiaoyuan couldn't quite make out what they looked like.
As soon as the two entered the construction site, they heard the man say, "Junior sister, let's hurry up and search. Once other cultivators arrive, the treasure may not be ours to obtain."
The junior sister nodded and said, "Yes, senior brother, you're right. We need to act quickly."
So the two of them started searching the construction site, not knowing what treasure they were looking for.
Soon, at that moment, several more cultivators entered the construction site. These cultivators were probably all at the Qi Refining stage, and they had come to the construction site for a treasure.
With so many people vying for this treasure, it's a case of too many wolves and too little meat; it all comes down to who has the greatest ability to obtain it.
What puzzled Liu Xiaoyuan was that, since they said they had unearthed treasure at the construction site, the treasure should logically be with the person in charge of the construction site. Why were they all coming to the construction site to look for treasure? Liu Xiaoyuan was a little confused.
Just as Liu Xiaoyuan was lost in thought, he heard a cultivator look in his direction and shout, "What are you doing lurking around there? Come out here!"
As soon as this cultivator spoke, the other cultivators also turned their heads to look at Liu Xiaoyuan.
It seemed he'd been discovered. Liu Xiaoyuan shrugged helplessly and walked out. Since he'd already been found, there was no point in hiding any longer.
Liu Xiaoyuan came out and asked in a pretentious manner, "What are you doing here at our construction site? Leave now, this is our construction site."
Upon hearing Liu Xiaoyuan's words, everyone assumed he was from the construction site and immediately rushed towards him. At that moment, Liu Xiaoyuan was like a hot commodity, someone everyone wanted.
"Hey, what are you doing? What are you doing?" Liu Xiaoyuan never expected that his words would attract an attack from all the cultivators. It was a miscalculation.
"Hmph, kid, you're quite something. A cultivation level of the third level of the Innate Realm, quite impressive." One of the cultivators said with a contemptuous tone.
While martial artists at the third level of the Innate Realm are undoubtedly top-tier experts in the eyes of ordinary people, they are nothing but a fart in the eyes of cultivators.
Therefore, when this cultivator said these words, his tone was full of sarcasm.
"Hey, what do you want? This isn't a place for you to run wild," Liu Xiaoyuan said again.
Surrounded by a dozen or so Qi Refining cultivators, Liu Xiaoyuan was somewhat afraid. Of course, if it were a real fight to the death, Liu Xiaoyuan might not be afraid of them, because he could summon a late-stage Qi Refining sword immortal, which would greatly boost his combat power. Sword immortals were synonymous with slaughter.
As one's cultivation level increases, the abilities and power of a sword immortal naturally become greater, eventually allowing them to roam the entire cultivation world with just a flying sword.
"Since you're from the construction site, let me ask you, where did you dig up the treasure last time? Take us there now!" one of the cultivators immediately pressed.
Now Liu Xiaoyuan understood why these cultivators had surrounded him; they were trying to force him to reveal the truth about this matter.
However, Liu Xiaoyuan had no idea where the object had been dug up. But if he shook his head and said he didn't know, these people would definitely take action immediately.
After thinking for a moment, Liu Xiaoyuan immediately said, "Everyone, I just arrived here. How would I know about this? The company headquarters heard that this place was haunted, so they sent me here to guard the construction site. You see, I've only been here for one day and I don't know anything about it."
Upon hearing this, one of the cultivators raised his hand as if to kill Liu Xiaoyuan and said, "Since you know nothing, then I'll send you to the Western Paradise."
The other cultivators didn't try to stop him; they were all watching the show, as if killing Liu Xiaoyuan, an ordinary person, was a trivial matter.
Liu Xiaoyuan wanted to summon a sword immortal in the late stage of Qi Refining, but after thinking about it carefully, he realized that wouldn't work. These cultivators couldn't die before he found the treasure; they still needed to help him find it.
Thinking this, Liu Xiaoyuan immediately said, "Everyone, although I haven't been able to help you much, I will keep this a secret for you. You can rest assured and search for things here without worrying about me. Just treat me like I'm not there."
"Boy, only the dead can shut up and keep secrets," the cultivator said with a sneer. It seemed that this group of cultivators was determined to kill Liu Xiaoyuan.
Seeing this, Liu Xiaoyuan realized that he had no choice but to summon a late-stage Qi Refining cultivator. These guys weren't going to let him go, and for his own life, he had to summon a late-stage Qi Refining sword immortal.
