As the Nine Dragons Auction approached, more and more experts gathered on Ocean Empire Planet. The entire Ocean Empire City became even more lively.
In less than three days, the number of experts on Ocean Empire Planet had doubled.
After Ye Xuan left Madam Lan's residence, he directly returned to his hotel.
Looking at Ye Xuan, who hadn't returned all night, and smelling the fragrance of a woman on his body, Hun Yuying and Ao Bingxue couldn't help but slightly frown as jealousy welled up in their hearts.
They didn't need to think to know that Ye Xuan was with a woman last night, and judging from the fragrance on his body, it should be Madam Lan.
Thinking of this, the jealousy in the hearts of Hun Yuying and Ao Bingxue grew even stronger.
In terms of beauty, status, strength, and temperament, how could the two of them not compare to Madam Lan?
However, it just so happened that their Young Master was disdainful towards them, and it caused them to feel slightly depressed and dejected in their hearts.
Could it be that the flowers at home were not as fragrant as the wild flowers?
"Young Master, we're going out!"
Hun Yuying and Ao Bingxue, who were filled with jealousy, greeted Ye Xuan before hurriedly leaving the room.
Ye Xuan didn't notice anything unusual about the two of them. He sat on the balcony and quietly admired the beautiful scenery outside.
"Dong, dong, dong …"
Not long after, there was a crisp knock on the door.
"Come in!"
As Ye Xuan's indifferent voice sounded out, Huang Yincheng timidly walked in from outside. His gaze towards Ye Xuan was filled with undisguised reverence. "Huang Yincheng greets Young Master."
"Speak, what business do you have with me?"
Ye Xuan indifferently said as he watched Huang Yincheng arrive. He picked up his spirit tea and took a sip.
"Young master, it's like this... Didn't I discover a spirit vein not long ago? I transferred eighty percent of the spirit vein to Madam Lan and let our Huang family mine it. However, last night, when we were mining, our people met with trouble and all of them died. Today, I went to personally check it out, but I couldn't find anything … Young master, your vision is high and your vision is extraordinary, so I would like to ask you to help me take a look and see what exactly is going on. "Huang Yincheng cupped his fists towards Ye Xuan with a face full of smiles as he pleaded.
"Oh right, this is the scene they took last night …" Young master, please take a look. "
As if thinking of something, Huang Yincheng caressed the ring on his hand, and a holographic projection appeared.
The scene was of an endless mountain. Many workers were mining the mountain under the moonlight. However, suddenly, the full moon in the sky was covered by dark clouds. A gust of black wind swept past, and the workers who were originally mining strangely disappeared. Not even a trace was left. It was as if they had evaporated from the world. It was strange and unpredictable.
"You didn't find anything?"
After watching the video, a trace of interest appeared in Ye Xuan's eyes as he asked in a low voice.
"Yeah, I didn't find any news. It's like the workers vanished into thin air. I've also checked the surrounding area, but there are no traces of any magical beast attacks. Now that this has happened, no one dares to work again."
Huang Yincheng nodded and said quickly.
Ye Xuan's eyes narrowed as wisdom flashed within them. A hint of interest appeared on his face. "Since we're free, then let's go take a look."
"Many thanks, Young Master!"
Huang Yincheng's face was filled with ecstasy when he saw Ye Xuan agree. He hurriedly cupped his fists in thanks.
"It's fine, lead the way!"
Ye Xuan said indifferently with an expressionless face.
"Yes sir!"
Huang Yincheng hurriedly led the way.
The Ocean Emperor Mountain Range was located three hundred miles away from the Ocean Emperor City. There were many magical beasts here, and it was surrounded by dense fog. It was extremely dangerous, and very few people were willing to explore this mountain range. The spirit vein that Huang Yincheng and the Huang family had excavated was located in the Ocean Emperor Mountain Range.
With Ye Xuan and Huang Yincheng's speed, it only took them half an hour to get here.
"Greetings, Patriarch, Young Master Ye!"
As soon as Ye Xuan and Huang Yincheng arrived, the Huang family's guards respectfully welcomed them. The person in the lead was the Huang family's commander, Huang Shitian.
Huang Shitian had heard many things about Ye Xuan from Huang Yincheng. He was extremely respectful towards Ye Xuan and didn't dare to slight him in the slightest.
"Young master, this is my Huang family's commander, Huang Shitian …"
Huang Yincheng introduced him to Ye Xuan.
Ye Xuan lightly nodded his head. His gaze fell onto the enormous mine that had been excavated in front of him.
The surroundings of the mine had long since been sealed off. From afar, one could vaguely see the sparkling spirit stones in the mine. This spirit vein could be said to have an astonishing reserve.
There were all sorts of formations and equipment inside the mine.
"Young Master Ye, our people mysteriously disappeared last night in the mine where the spirit vein was being mined …" This is the surveillance footage of what happened last night … "
Huang Shitian introduced it to Ye Xuan. At the same time, he brought out the surveillance footage of their construction yesterday.
"From the looks of it, this black wind came from the depths of the mine?" However, the mine hasn't been opened at all, so how could there be wind coming from inside? "
Ye Xuan carefully examined it. His eyes surged with wisdom as he spoke in a low voice.
After that, his gaze fell on Huang Shitian and he asked in a deep voice, "Have you checked the interior of the mine?"
"I've checked, but I haven't found anything. Everything is normal …"
Huang Shitian replied in a deep voice.
"Let's go, take me in to take a look."
Ye Xuan didn't say anything else. Instead, he walked straight towards the mine.
Huang Shitian, Huang Yincheng, and the others accompanied him.
As they went deeper and deeper into the mine, the spiritual energy in the air became denser and denser. It was extremely comfortable to breathe.
They'd just started mining this vein. This mine wasn't very long, only about fifty meters long. Ye Xuan and the others quickly arrived at the end.
In front of them was a mountain of spirit ore. Their palms felt ice-cold, making them feel incomparably comfortable.
Ye Xuan's gaze swept across his surroundings, but he didn't find anything unusual.
His brows twitched as his palm landed on the spirit mine in front of him. Boundless soul force surged out at this moment and flowed into the depths of the spirit mine through his palm.
As his soul force continued to penetrate deeper and deeper, Ye Xuan gradually felt a wave of pressure. The atmosphere inside became more and more oppressive, causing him to gradually find it difficult to endure. It was as if he'd fallen into a black purgatory, and there was an extremely terrifying dark energy within.
This spirit vein was not as simple as they had seen it to be.
"Roar!"
As if he'd sensed something, a terrifying roar suddenly sounded out in Ye Xuan's mind. A large number of blurry images flashed through his mind, and in the end, he saw a blood-red eye.
"Tap, tap, tap …"
An invisible force came from the spirit vein and directly blasted Ye Xuan's palm away, causing his body to retreat dozens of steps before stabilizing himself.
"Young master, how are you?"
"Young master!"
Seeing this, Huang Yincheng and Huang Shitian's expressions couldn't help but change. They hurriedly supported Ye Xuan's body as they asked in concern.
"I'm fine!"
Ye Xuan steadied himself and waved his hand. His gaze was filled with undisguised seriousness as he looked at the spirit vein in front of him. "If my guess is correct, there should be something sealed deep within this spirit vein …"
"There's something sealed beneath the spirit vein?"
Ye Xuan's words caused Huang Shitian and Huang Yincheng to be shocked.
"That's right, it could be an ancient ruin, or it could be a formation, or it could be a ferocious creature or a powerful Divine Beast."
Ye Xuan lightly nodded as he lightly said.
"Boom! Boom!"
Just as Ye Xuan finished speaking, a strange black stream of air surged out from the spirit mine. It set off a black wind that engulfed Ye Xuan and the others …
"Be careful!"
Seeing this scene, Huang Yincheng's expression changed as he shouted.
"Ahh …"
"Koz, Koz …" Ga Da'er … "
Mournful screams and the clear and strange sound of bones being chewed rang out at this moment.
The Huang family guards that followed Ye Xuan and Huang Yincheng in strangely disappeared from their line of sight, as if they'd never appeared.
"Quickly retreat..."
Huang Yincheng, Huang Shitian, and the others let out a stern shout as they explosively retreated.
However, Ye Xuan remained unmoved. He calmly stood within the black wind as the Supreme Force within his body surged. The Guardian God immediately appeared beside him to protect his body.
Chi chi chi …
The sound of a blade tearing rang out. Traces of being torn apart by sharp claws appeared on the body of the Heavenly Guardian God that protected Ye Xuan, as if it could collapse at any moment.
Ye Xuan's eyes flashed. With a thought, the Star Emperor's Eye quietly opened.
As the Star Emperor's Eye opened, the scene before Ye Xuan's eyes quietly changed. It was no longer black.
He saw countless black streams of air flowing out from the cracks in the walls of the spirit vein, and he also saw an enormous black shadow in the depths of the spirit vein. Its appearance was especially strange, like a black mystical tiger, but also like a black berserk lion. Its blood-red eyes flickered with an ominous light as it coldly stared at Ye Xuan and the others through the spirit mine.
These black streams of air were flowing out from its body.
"What kind of divine beast is this?"
A trace of doubt arose in Ye Xuan's heart as he tried his best to search through his mind.
"Roar!"
Right at this moment, the Magic Dragon Ring on Ye Xuan's hand exploded with a resplendent light. An earth-shaking dragon roar sounded out, and the fluffy Whitey crawled out from within.
Ever since he was injured by that mysterious giant beast at the Azure Front Line, this little guy hadn't appeared for a long time.
"Chi!"
Looking at the churning and flowing air, Whitey opened its mouth and inhaled. At this moment, the black air gathered in its mouth and was sucked into its stomach. Its body also gradually expanded at this moment, like a balloon that had been inflated.
In an instant, the black air was sucked dry by Whitey, and the black wind blew through the mine, returning it to its original appearance.
"Keke, keke …"
Whitey, on the other hand, turned into a ray of light and charged towards the spirit vein. It began to crazily chew on the spirit ore like a little white hamster.
In just an instant, a huge passageway had been opened up in the spirit vein.
"Ji ji ji …"
It turned around and waved its golden claws at Ye Xuan. It chirped something, then quickly drilled into the passageway.
"Shua!"
Seeing this, Ye Xuan raised his brows and quickly followed, disappearing from this world.
"Huff, puff …"
After exiting the mine, Huang Yincheng, Huang Shitian, and the others let out a long sigh of relief. They gasped for breath, and when they thought about what had just happened, their hearts were still filled with shock.
Huang Yincheng's gaze swept across his surroundings. He discovered that there were less than ten of the original hundred Huang family guards left, and Ye Xuan had disappeared without a trace.
"Where's Young Master Ye?"
Seeing this, Huang Yincheng asked in a deep voice.
"I don't know..." It doesn't seem to have retreated from inside.
"Hearing Huang Yincheng's question, a Huang family guard replied in a deep voice.
"What?" Huang Yincheng could not help but be shocked.
"Young Master Ye did not retreat from the mine. When we escaped, he summoned his golden body to defend himself …"
Huang Shitian said in a deep voice.
After pausing for a moment, his gaze fell onto the mine. His eyes flashed with a sharp light as he said in a deep voice, "However, the black air in the mine seems to have disappeared, and there is no longer any wind blowing. Perhaps Young Master Ye made a move."
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go in and take a look!
"Huang Yincheng waved his hand and quickly walked towards the mine.
When they arrived at the end, they discovered that Ye Xuan had already disappeared without a trace. There was only one path.
"Young Master Ye should have barged in. Let's go in and take a look …"
Huang Yincheng gritted his teeth and rushed in with his men.
