"Yes, Great Elder, you work hard for the Mu family day and night, so it's only right for you to take some spirit stones!"
Another middle-aged man also nodded and said.
"Haha, Muzhen, Mulie, you two are still so careful in doing things! This elder is completely relieved to leave the spirit stone vein to you two to take care of it."
When the great elder heard what the two middle-aged men said, his old face suddenly smiled like a chrysanthemum and he praised them.
"Great Elder, you are the reborn mother we are waiting for!"
"Yes, if it weren't for you, Great Elder, how could we brothers have gotten this lucrative job?"
"Yes, Great Elder, besides, you are the most powerful elder in the entire Mu family. Isn't it reasonable for you to collect more spirit stones?"
After receiving praise from the great elder, Mu Zhen and Mu Lie flattered him even more vigorously.
The expression on the great elder's face remained unchanged and never unfolded.
Just when the three of them were in a friendly mood, shouts suddenly came from outside.
"Oh no, something went wrong!"
Mu Lie and Mu Zhen stood up and spoke.
"Great Elder, you rest here first. Mu Lie and I will go ahead and investigate."
Mu Zhen clasped his fists towards the great elder and said.
"Come on!"
The Great Elder nodded and waved.
After getting permission, the two immediately set out.
When the two men came outside, their faces immediately darkened because someone had set a fire in the workers' living area of the mine.
Now the fire has spread, so there is some unrest in the entire mining area.
"Everyone, don't panic!"
Mu Zhen flew into the air and shouted loudly.
Mu Zhen was a powerful warrior in the Infant Transformation Stage. He circulated the spiritual energy in his body and uttered this shout, which instantly spread in all directions and calmed down many chaotic miners and guards.
Just when the chaos in the mining area had subsided a little, a dark shadow suddenly appeared behind Mu Zhen.
The black shadow said nothing, but waved the magic sword in his hand, shooting out several sword lights, falling towards Mu Zhen in the air.
"careful!"
When Mu Lie saw Mu Zhen being attacked, he immediately flew into the air.
The figure who was attacking was none other than Gou Jiaoran, and Mu Zhen was seriously injured in the blink of an eye.
If Mu Lie had not acted in time, Mu Zhen would have been killed by Gou Jiaoran immediately.
Seeing that his first strike was ineffective, Gou Jiaoran quickly changed direction and attacked Mu Zhen again, trying to kill him while he was sick. This was Gou Jiaoran's code of conduct during his many years of traveling.
"court death!"
Mu Lie shouted and quickly attacked Gou Jiaoran, trying to force him to retreat.
But at this moment, Gou Jiaoran's eyes flashed, and his figure changed rapidly. He quickly appeared behind Mu Zhen, and stabbed out with a sword, directly piercing Mu Zhen's chest.
Mu Zhen looked down at his chest in disbelief. He was a cultivator at the Infant Transformation Stage, but... he was killed so easily.
Mu Lie was very angry for failing to stop Gou Jiaoran. A fireball appeared in his hand and he shot it towards Gou Jiaoran.
Gou Jiaoran did not resist and quickly dodged the attack.
There was only one Muzhen left, and Gou Jiaoran was confident that in a one-on-one situation, it would not be a problem for him to take over the management of this mining area.
But at this moment, the great elder of the Mu family also flew out from below.
