"Hahahaha..." The joyful and hearty laughter of everyone echoed in the dense forest for a long time.
In contrast to the joyful atmosphere on Ji Fengyao's side.
At the mining sites of the Dongdan and He families, the Second Elder and the Sixth Elder still wore sour faces.
Strange things happened in the mine yesterday; the three groups of men they sent in were all thrown back out by the shockwaves.
Of the enchanted disciples they brought from Yanjing, only the last group remains.
If they suffer further losses, they will have to wait for Yanjing to send someone else.
The Second Elder and Sixth Elder had been cursing under their breath for a whole day and night. After receiving the news that "the Zhou family has sent people to Guyue City and is eager to make a move," the two finally lost their temper and sent the last group of people into the mine to dig with all their might.
This time, their digging went very smoothly, with no obstacles in sight, a single burst of energy, a flat plain, and so on that even they themselves found it hard to believe.
But what they didn't know was:
The news that "the Dongdan family has successfully mined deep into the mine and discovered an unparalleled treasure" is now spreading throughout Guyue City.
This time, the Zhou family members in Yanjing, who had been lurking in the shadows, and Yan Hanxing, who was searching the whole city for Ji Fengyao, could no longer sit still.
There were also some audacious rogue cultivators, and several groups of them surged toward the Dongdan family mine.
Five days later.
The enchanted disciples sent by the Dongdan family of Yanjing finally finished mining the magic crystals in the mine. The Second Elder and the Sixth Elder hurriedly led a group of elite disciples from the Dongdan family into the depths of the mine and arrived at the grand hall. However, the hall was completely empty, without a single soul in sight.
"This is impossible! That thing should be right here!" The Second Elder panicked.
The main hall was incredibly magnificent, and the surrounding reliefs were exactly the same as those in the legends. It was sacred and grand, and did not belong to the mortal realm.
But who can tell him that the Immortal Ruins, which were causing trouble just a few days ago, have become an empty shell today?
Could it be that everything they heard and saw before was a dream, and those who died because of it were all people who brought it upon themselves?
“Yes, the spiritual energy here is so rich, it’s impossible for there to be nothing here.” The Sixth Elder with the three braids was also completely bewildered.
"Could it be that our cultivation level is insufficient, so we simply cannot see the heart of the immortal?"
Just as the Second Elder was making wild guesses while deceiving himself, the Dongdan family members who were in charge of surveying the surrounding environment suddenly started to make a fuss:
"Look everyone, why are there so many pits and craters on the cave walls?"
"It's not natural; there are traces of it being dug up."
"Such a rich residue of spiritual energy!"
“There are fragments of spirit stones here. This... this place should have originally contained spirit stones, spirit stones with very high purity of spiritual energy!”
The surprised scream drew the attention of everyone, including the Second Elder and the Sixth Elder.
Everyone gasped in horror as they looked at the dense, clearly gouged pits on the surrounding cave walls.
If these pits and hollows really did once contain spirit stones...
Then what they missed was not only the Immortal's Heart, but also a massive amount of spirit stones!
The Sixth Elder felt a sharp pain in his heart, as if a massive boulder was pressing on his chest: "What have we missed?"
While they were miserably digging for those magic crystals that were completely useless to them...
I wonder which bunch of bastards are happily reaping a huge amount of spirit stones over here!
They might be digging while simultaneously mocking the Dongdan family as a bunch of ignorant idiots!
“These spirit stone fragments were deliberately crushed and left here by someone,” the Second Elder quickly confirmed the Sixth Elder’s guess.
