The central square of Black Wind City was now filled with monks. In the center of the square was a suspended podium. The Black Wind Emperor sat on a dragon throne made of Chaos Stone like an emperor.
"During the time I was away, have these foreign cultivators been behaving well?" Emperor Black Wind asked Hei Yi indifferently.
"Your Majesty is so powerful that no one dares to cause trouble in Black Wind City. During this period, nothing has happened in Black Wind City as before." Hei Yi said respectfully.
Hei Yi is the strongest man under the Black Wind Emperor, and he is in the middle stage of the Void Immortal Ancestor. Of course, that was in the past. Now he has already joined the Lingxiao Palace and attained the second-level branch avenue. His cultivation has reached the level of the Heavenly Dao Divine Ancestor. However, in order to keep a low profile, Li Mu did not let his men reveal their strength, but took the initiative to use Jianmu to hide their cultivation. Therefore, in the eyes of the Black Wind Emperor, Hei Yi is still a cultivator in the middle stage of the Void Immortal Ancestor, and his loyal subordinate.
"Well, not bad." The Black Wind Emperor nodded with satisfaction. He was very pleased to see that there were many new faces with strong cultivation below.
"Your Majesty, it's almost been 1,000 years since the first batch of monks moved into Black Wind City. What do you think..." Hei Yi asked cautiously.
"Oh, you mean the Chaos Stone I promised them?"
"Yes, Kunpeng asked me about this matter intentionally or unintentionally a few days ago."
"Isn't there still 5 years left? Don't worry about it. Haha, if you want to get the Chaos Stone from me, it depends on whether you have the life to do so." The Black Wind Emperor sneered.
Hei Yi lowered his head upon hearing this, said nothing more, and stepped aside.
…………
At this time, Li Mu also came to the central square. Looking at the dense crowd, a smile appeared on the corner of Li Mu's mouth. These people were all members of his Lingxiao Palace!
Then he strode towards the center of the square, followed by Kunpeng and Qingyao. This was the foundation when he came, and it is still the same now. When everyone present saw Li Mu coming, they just silently made way for him, and other than that they did not show anything unusual.
The Black Wind Emperor also noticed Li Mu below him, and narrowed his eyes slightly: "Is this man called Li Mu?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, this person has quite a reputation in Black Wind City." Hei Yi replied calmly.
"Hehe." The Black Wind Emperor smiled faintly and said nothing more, but a cold light flashed in his eyes.
"Your Majesty, most of the non-local monks from Black Wind City have arrived." Hei Yi reminded.
"Yes." Heifeng nodded slightly, then stood up, walked to the front of the podium, looked down at the monks below, and said lightly: "Everyone, welcome to my Black Wind City. I believe that most of you are here for the competition, right?"
The Black Wind Emperor's voice was very soft, but the amazing thing was that the more than 200,000 monks present could hear it clearly, as if the Black Wind Emperor was whispering in their ears. After hearing what the Black Wind Emperor said, everyone whispered to each other.
"Today, I officially announce the start of the competition! Everyone, please enter the arena!" said the Black Wind Emperor in a deep voice.
The monks were shocked when they heard this. What was this Black Wind Emperor doing? They let everyone enter the competition without any warning, without even knowing what the competition was about?
"Hehe~Emperor, you have to tell everyone what the content of the competition is, right?" Meng Ting asked with a smile.
"You don't need to know, you just need to obey my orders!" Emperor Black Wind said coldly.
Meng Ting frowned. This Black Wind Emperor didn't follow the routine. Even if he wanted everyone to help him capture the Chaos Beast, he had to make up a competition content, right?
"I mean everyone!" Black Wind Emperor added again.
"Your Majesty, this...?" Hei Yi looked embarrassed. After all, many people here did not come for the competition, just like Chaos Trading Company, people just came here to do business.
"Everyone, get into the mining area! Otherwise, you will die!" The Black Wind Emperor suddenly shouted, and a powerful force crushed everyone!
"Lord of Black Wind City, you are too domineering. What on earth do you want to do?" A cultivator in the "early stage of Void Immortal Ancestor" shouted angrily.
"Bang~" As soon as the monk finished speaking, his body exploded, and he died beyond deadliness.
Suddenly, the whole place was silent.
"Keep calm first, don't panic. Guan Qun has been resurrected in Lingxiao Universe." Li Mu said to everyone. Guan Qun was the cultivator who was killed by the Black Wind Emperor just now.
"You, you, you, get in!" Heifeng, who had intimidated everyone, directed his spearhead at Li Mu and the others, pointing at Li Mu, Kunpeng and Qingyao.
Li Mu just smiled faintly, turned around and flew to the mine, Kunpeng Qingyao hurriedly followed. This Black Wind Emperor was too abnormal, and it was obvious that he had nothing good to say. However, Li Mu had more than 200,000 Taoist monks under his command, so how could he be afraid of a small Black Wind? He wanted to see what this Black Wind wanted to do. In order not to alert the enemy, Li Mu decided to stay put and follow the rhythm of Black Wind.
Since this was an order from the Black Wind Emperor, no one stopped Li Mu and his two companions from approaching the mine. They flew directly through the port and into the depths of the mine.
"Do you still need my reminder?" Heifeng glanced at everyone with an indifferent expression.
Upon hearing this, everyone turned around and flew towards the mine without saying a word. Li Mu had already gone in, so as his subordinates, they naturally had to follow.
"Heifeng, are the people from our Chaos Trading Company going in too?" Meng Ting's tone was a little unpleasant.
"You can choose not to go in, but I don't mind killing a few more people." The Black Wind Emperor said lightly.
"Haha, very good." Meng Ting sneered, and no longer entangled with the Black Wind Emperor, and followed the large group of people.
Watching everyone entering the mining area, Hei Feng showed a hint of a sneer on his face: "A bunch of trash, I thought I had to kill a few more troublemakers to make you obedient. But it's good this way, it saves some blood food."
Then he looked at Hei Yi and the others and said, "You guys go in too."
"Your Majesty, do you mean all of us?" Hei Yi looked confused.
"What? You dare to question me?" Emperor Black Wind said coldly.
"I dare not." Hei Yi smiled bitterly and led a group of Black Wind Guards to the mining area. The other staff members in Black Wind City followed without saying a word. Their personalities were like this. As slaves of Black Wind Emperor, they had to listen to whatever Black Wind Emperor said.
However, these are all on the surface. In reality, everyone is eager to follow them in. After all, their palace master Li Mu has already gone in, so why are they still staying outside?
After everyone entered, Black Wind Emperor released his spiritual sense and began to scan various areas of Black Wind City.
"Roar~" The heroic "hero" in the ninth block roared when he felt Black Wind's spiritual sense sweeping over him.
"Hmph~ Old thing, after I refine it, the first person I will deal with will be you!" Heifeng snorted coldly, moved his spiritual sense away and continued to scan other areas.
After scanning the entire Black Wind City and finding no stranded monks, he flew towards the center of the mine. At the same time, he activated the large formation outside the mine, completely locking the mine and preventing people inside from escaping.
