Tong Huang simply gave up on the supreme-grade spirit vein. With Tong Huang and the Liwang Sect's departure, Xiao Chen and Tian Yue naturally had nothing much to say. The two exchanged a few perfunctory words before Tian Yue left with the Tian Clan girl beside her.
They successfully took back the supreme-grade spirit vein. Of course, Xiao Chen wasn't too excited about this because this was just the beginning.
Moreover, Tian Yue had played a huge role in Tong Huang's decisiveness. If Tian Yue hadn't shown up, Tong Huang might have really fought.
But all in all, the ending was good. Although more than half of this Supreme-Grade Spirit Vein had been mined by the Power King Sect, and there was not much left to be mined, it was better than nothing. After all, even mosquitoes were meat.
Moreover, being able to take back the supreme-grade spirit vein was more of a symbolic meaning. It had an effect of establishing prestige for the other quasi-saint sects and also announcing to them that the Sacred Palace's rise wasn't just in fame, but also in taking back what originally belonged to the Human Race.
With Tong Huang and Tian Yue's departure, Xiao Chen turned to look at the crowd and began to instruct them to take over the supreme-grade spirit vein.
Xiao Chen didn't bring many people with him because he was mainly here to find Qin Shuirou. Xiao Chen's plan was very simple. Baimo Shengzong would temporarily take care of the supreme-grade spirit vein and suspend all mining until the Sacred Palace sent people over.
Of course, with Baimo Shengzong temporarily taking care of the spirit vein, Xiao Chen would definitely leave someone from the Sacred Palace to take care of it. After thinking for a while, Xiao Chen finally decided to let Huangfu Ao stay behind.
Huangfu Ao was the Sacred Palace's Candidate Chosen, so it was more than enough for him to stay behind and guard the place. Moreover, this was only temporary. Once he returned to the Sacred Palace, they would definitely send someone to take care of the supreme-grade spirit vein. Therefore, Huangfu Ao would only stay behind temporarily and could return to the Sacred Palace very soon.
After giving out these instructions, the next step was to deal with the Human Race slaves present. There were many of them and they were all forcibly captured by the Barbarian Race. Now that the Sacred Palace had taken over the supreme-grade spirit vein, they naturally couldn't be treated as slaves anymore.
However, the operation of a supreme-grade spirit vein naturally required a lot of labor. In the beginning, sect master Baimo Shengzong actually suggested that the Sacred Palace do what the Liwang Sect did and search for other races in the Bai Mo Continent and capture them as slaves. However, Xiao Chen rejected this suggestion without even thinking about it.
After thinking about it carefully, Xiao Chen finally decided to dismiss the Human Race slaves and let them return to their hometowns. Those who were already homeless could temporarily stay here and be taken care of by the Sacred Palace. At the same time, the Sacred Palace would invite them to continue mining the supreme-grade spirit vein through recruitment.
Although they were doing the same kind of work before and after, the actual situation was completely different.
Previously, the Human Race slaves were not only burdensome with tasks, they didn't even have food to eat. However, according to Xiao Chen's idea, the Sacred Palace would pay them a corresponding remuneration if they continued mining the spirit vein. Moreover, the Sacred Palace would also be responsible for their basic necessities. The treatment could be said to be worlds apart.
After coming up with a way to settle the Human Race slaves, Xiao Chen roughly explained his idea to the Human Race slaves. Everyone was stunned when they heard Xiao Chen's words.
In fact, they were indeed very nervous just now. After all, many of them had been captured here for several years. If they were allowed to return to their hometowns now, they didn't even know where else to go.
However, since Xiao Chen was willing to keep them and hire them to continue mining the spirit vein, not only would they get revenge, but they would also be provided with food and a place to stay. For a moment, everyone cheered.
For ordinary people without cultivation, their requirements were really not high. It was enough to be able to eat their fill and wear warm clothes. They didn't have many other ideas like cultivators.
Ordinary humans lived at most a hundred years in their lives, so they didn't have many requirements.
Hearing the cheers below, Xiao Chen nodded slightly. He then specially called Chen Zhong over and gave him some instructions alone.
"Chen Zhong, I'll leave this place to you during this period. Get familiar with them and try to appease their emotions. If you need anything, feel free to mention it to Huangfu. He will do his best to satisfy you. When the Sacred Palace sends someone over, we will discuss other details with you. At that time, those who want to stay can stay, and those who want to leave, I will let them go."
When he heard Xiao Chen's words, Chen Zhong nodded gratefully and replied, "Lord Chosen, don't worry. I will definitely take good care of them."
Chen Zhong's worship for Xiao Chen was close to blind.
After making arrangements for the supreme-grade spirit vein and staying for a day, Xiao Chen and the others left early the next morning and returned to Baimo Shengzong. They then boarded a spaceship and rushed back to the Sacred Palace.
Almost half a month later, Xiao Chen and the others returned to the Sacred Palace. The first thing they did was naturally to bring Qin Shuirou to pay respects to Bai Ruyue and Xiao Qing.
It should be known that Bai Ruyue was extremely worried when Qin Shuirou went missing. She came over almost every day to ask about Qin Shuirou's situation. Now that Qin Shuirou had returned safely, Xiao Chen naturally had to let Bai Ruyue know.
After greeting Bai Ruyue and Xiao Qing with the three girls, they chatted for a while before a Dustless Sacred Hall elder found Xiao Chen and informed him that the ancestors had invited Xiao Chen to the main hall for a meeting.
Xiao Sheng and the others came to look for him. Xiao Chen did not delay and left Qin Shuirou and the girls with Bai Ruyue so that they could accompany their parents. As for himself, he rushed to the main hall on the main peak of the Sacred Palace.
When Xiao Chen arrived at the main hall, Chen Ling, Long Qing, Chen Yu and the other Chosen and Saintesses, as well as the four ancestors including Xiao Sheng, and a total of 46 Saint Venerables were all present.
Such a lineup could be said to include the true upper echelons of the entire Sacred Palace. Since everyone was gathered here, it was obvious that the meeting today was very important to the Sacred Palace. Otherwise, it would be impossible for everyone to be gathered here.
Xiao Chen was the last to arrive. Everyone was waiting for him. Seeing Xiao Chen stride over, Xiao Sheng smiled and pointed to Xiao Chen's seat. After Xiao Chen took his seat, Xiao Sheng said with a smile.
"Alright, Chosen Xiao Chen is also here. Let's begin."
Xiao Chen had not been in the Sacred Palace during this period, so he did not know what had happened in the Sacred Palace. Therefore, after hearing Xiao Sheng's words, Xiao Chen looked at Chen Ling and Long Qing in confusion. He wanted to know what was going to be discussed today.
