Her mind was filled with despair, feeling that everything was over.
This small transaction had been discovered by the faction and was wiped out. Su Yu would not be an exception.
"Ninth mine supervisor, Li Yunmei! Kill him on the spot! "
"First spirit herb garden supervisor, Zhao Yuncong, kill him on the spot!"
"Fifth ore warehouse supervisor, Qin Fei, kill him on the spot!"
"Third tool supervisor, Yuan Linger, kill him on the spot!"
In the time it took for half an incense stick to burn, the ruthless executions of the law enforcers came from the mine.
Xian Yin's face was pale, her entire body trembling in fear.
She could almost hear herself being the next one.
However, what she did not expect was for the law enforcer to stop. "The rest of the supervisors, step forward and observe their heads as a warning to yourselves!"
Eh?
Xian Yin was startled. Did this have nothing to do with her?
With a deep sense of apprehension, she followed the rest of the supervisors forward.
Looking at the five bloody heads, Xian Yin felt extremely guilty.
Fortunately, the law enforcer did not notice.
"Now, all the slaves are to stop. We will start counting the number of people," the law enforcer announced, ordering all the slaves to stand by at their posts.
Xian Yin's heart, which had finally calmed down, started to pound again.
"Lord Zhi Fa, once the slaves stop, the losses will be astronomical," one of the supervisors said with a pained heart.
The enforcer said indifferently, "We've investigated and found out that there were six slaves that were reselling the sect's Ninth Hell Crystals under the orders of the supervisor. Five of the slaves have already been captured, and only the last slave has escaped without a trace. Now, we'll count the number of people. Whichever area has one less slave means that the person in charge of that area is involved in the reselling."
The law enforcer's expression was resolute. His attitude toward this matter was unusually tough.
Even if all the slaves stopped working for a day, they had to find the fish that escaped the net and the supervisor.
At that moment, Xian Yin's face almost collapsed. Her heart was beating wildly, her mind a mess. She did not pay attention to anything else.
"We will start the investigation now!" A hundred law enforcers spread out to investigate immediately.
Their actions were swift and experienced, and they could investigate a large area in half an incense stick's time.
For example, the small vegetable garden that Xian Yin was in charge of could be determined by the law enforcers taking a look.
Seeing the law enforcers approaching one by one, Xian Yin's heart was filled with despair and regret.
If she was given another chance, she would never be greedy.
However, there was no medicine for regret.
"Vegetable Garden Number Four, we'll start the roll call now." The black-robed law enforcer walked in front of Xian Yin, his expression extremely cold.
"Qin Bu 'er!"
"Here!" The slave whose name was called immediately replied.
"Zhang Kangyou!"
"Here!"
"Cai Sen!"
"Here!"
…
The names were called one by one, and after a while, the names of more than a dozen slaves were all called.
The last one was Su Yu.
Xian Yin had already closed her eyes in despair. Her heart was filled with incomparable bitterness.
"Su Yu!" the law enforcer shouted.
"Here!"
However, to Xian Yin's surprise, someone actually replied.
When she turned her head to take a look, she saw that Su Yu was leaning against a hoe. His whole body was covered with dust, and it seemed like he had been working here for a long time.
What was going on?
Xian Yin clearly remembered that before the Enforcers came, there was no one there.
When did Su Yu appear?
How did he pass through the sealed staircase and come to the lower floor from the upper floor?
The law-enforcement officer raised his eyes and looked at the portrait on the roll book in his hand. He nodded and said, "Vegetable Garden Number Four's name is correct. Pass!"
After saying that, he immediately rushed to the next area.
Xian Yin's body was completely paralyzed. When the law-enforcement officer walked away, she completely collapsed on the ground, unable to move.
"My lord, are you all right?" Su Yu walked over and asked kindly.
Xian Yin only just realized what was going on, and she hurriedly transmitted a message to Su Yu. "What happened?"
Su Yu replied, "I don't know why, but the faction checked the goods of this transaction, and the Third Steward took action personally. I was lucky enough to escape."
"I'm asking, how did you pass through the upper floor to the mine below?" Xian Yin's eyes were filled with deep suspicion.
With her cultivation of the Yellow Path Master of the Great Venerable Realm, it was impossible for Su Yu to appear in the vegetable garden without her noticing.
"After I escaped, I came to the mine in time before it was sealed. Seeing that the situation was not good, I immediately showed myself," Su Yu said, half-truthfully.
Before he returned to the faction, the Third Steward had informed the faction to seal the entrance and exit of the staircase.
He could directly go down to the mine from the upper floor because of the Space Domain.
"Is that so?" Xian Yin thought for a moment and wondered if she had been too nervous just now to notice Su Yu's return.
After thinking about it, this was the only possibility.
"Phew! You're smart, and we dodged a bullet. "Xian Yin heaved a sigh of relief.
Su Yu smiled, and discreetly stuffed a space storage device into her hand. "Fortunately, I didn't fail you. Please check and accept it, my Lady."
The latter glanced inside and looked satisfied. "You really didn't let me down."
She was very glad that she had entrusted this task to Su Yu.
If it had been other slaves, they might not have been able to dodge the bullet so cleverly, and she would have been killed.
"You can do some easy work this month," Xian Yin said, feeling much more relaxed now.
Su Yu nodded and went back to work quietly.
Xian Yin looked at his back, and an indiscernible light flashed in the depths of her eyes.
The law enforcers went to great lengths to search for several days, but they couldn't find any fish that had escaped the net.
In order not to delay the mine, they had to give up.
In the following days, Su Yu was quite relaxed. He worked in the day and secretly dug out the giant Nine Underworlds Crystal at night.
Time passed in a flash.
A month passed.
After two months of hard work, the giant Nine Underworlds Crystal that was hidden deep underground was finally dug out.
It finally revealed its true appearance.
At first glance, it was a giant crystal with a slightly darker purple color.
Compared to the eighth-grade Nine Underworlds Crystal, its interior was slightly turbid.
Coupled with its huge size, the deepest part of it was extremely blurry.
However, Su Yu could still vaguely see the outline of a creature the size of a puppy in the depths of the Nine Underworlds Crystal, but he didn't know what it was.
"What is that?" Su Yu was delighted. Could it be another Nine Underworlds Crystal?
He tried to dig out the giant Nine Underworlds Crystal. After weighing it in his hand, he found that it weighed at least 500 pounds.
Coupled with the fact that there were foreign objects in it, even if it was a relic of the lowest grade, the price of the Nine Underworlds Crystal could be doubled.
If he exchanged it in the faction, he could exchange it for at least 10,000 Time Crystals. If he exchanged it with the golden-masked lady, he could exchange it for 20,000 or even more Time Crystals.
20,000 Time Crystals should be enough for him to issue a reward for finding the Sinful Lady Palace in all the factions at the same time.
"However, the golden-masked lady was almost caught by the Third Deacon this time. She should know that the next time and place for the transaction has been obtained by the Greater One Faction. The golden-masked lady can't go there again." Su Yu frowned slightly. In this way, his way of obtaining Time Crystals was temporarily blocked.
"I need to wait patiently," Su Yu said to himself.
Right at that moment, the Third Deacon descended upon the mine again to hold the monthly drawing of lots for posts.
Xianyin walked over and handed a jade pendant to Su Yu. She said regretfully, "It's a pity that my privilege can only be used once a year. Otherwise, I could have kept you here. This is my token, take it."
Su Yu was puzzled. "I don't dare to take your token."
"Just take it!" Xianyin stuffed it into Su Yu's hands. "It just so happens that my supervision task has been completed. Next, I will return to the faction above to train for a few months. If you have the chance to go up, hold this token and look for me in the Phoenix Domain. I have an important matter to cooperate with you. If it succeeds, you may be able to turn from a slave to an official member of the Greater One Faction."
To Su Yu, this was not attractive at all.
So what if he became a member?
He didn't intend to stay in the Greater One Faction for a long time.
As long as he got the information he wanted, he would leave immediately.
"Thank you, my lord." Su Yu cupped his fists and accepted the token.
"Go and draw the lots!"
Su Yu left quickly and went to draw the lots. This time, there was no external help. As expected, he was not lucky enough to draw the vegetable garden.
He drew the mining position in the ninth mine.
He would start working tomorrow.
After several months in the mine, Su Yu already knew that the soil in the mine was much harder than that of the vegetable garden.
Therefore, the newcomer who lived next to Su Yu would be exhausted every day.
As such, the special hoe that Su Yu had bought might not be of much use at all.
When the vegetable garden task was completed, the sky was still dark. Su Yu immediately went to the tool hall on the upper level.
"I want a shovel with 100 Time Crystals." Su Yu still disguised himself perfectly.
Hearing this, the shopkeeper could not help but stare at Su Yu from head to toe.
100 Time Crystals to buy tools?
How could a slave have so many Time Crystals?
It was impossible!
He could not help but start to guess that the slave in front of him was actually a member of the faction who deliberately disguised himself as a slave.
After getting the shovel, Su Yu immediately returned to the mine.
What slightly surprised him was that he saw Lao Jin enthusiastically telling something to a newcomer.
This Old Jin is a little too enthusiastic, Su Yu thought to himself as he observed the situation.
The next day.
Su Yu arrived at the ninth mine.
What surprised him was that his neighbor, the young man, was also at the ninth mine.
"It's you?" The young man recognized Su Yu and smiled bitterly. "Looks like you've used up all your energy. You actually drew the ninth mine."
"What do you mean?" Su Yu glanced at the mine. Other than being the deepest of all the mines, it was no different from the other mines.
The young man shook his head. "Ah! A month ago, our previous supervisor, Li Yunmei, was beheaded for reselling the Nine Serenities Crystal. A new supervisor came in, and he is much stricter than the previous one. If anything goes wrong, he will beat people up. All the slaves in this mine have been beaten up. "
"Brother, you're on your own!"
Su Yu was stunned. Having learned his lesson, the new supervisor naturally did not dare slack off.
If that was the case, his luck was indeed not good.
