"Send it to me!" The chief steward beamed with joy. The heavy burden on his chest had been lifted.
He could not wait to meet the other batch of rescued people and confirm if they were really safe.
"Yes!" The chief steward's region had a communication method to contact the core figures of the major sects.
An attendant immediately sent a message to Deputy Hall Master Qin, ordering him to meet the chief steward in five minutes.
Mine No.9.
The boorish man grinned. "Thank you for your help, Uncle. I'm very grateful."
Standing in front of him was Deputy Hall Master Qin.
"Hehe, we're uncle and nephew. There's no need to thank me." Deputy Hall Master Qin waved his hand and said, "As long as you can represent the Affairs Hall and complete the task there in a few months, I'll be satisfied."
The boorish man patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, Uncle. I'll definitely satisfy you."
Hmm —
Deputy Hall Master Qin nodded in satisfaction.
At that moment, Deputy Hall Master Qin suddenly received a message. He opened it and his expression changed drastically. "The chief steward is summoning me!"
The boorish man revealed a look of awe and joy. "The chief steward rarely goes out and rarely summons people. Now that he's summoning you, it seems like he's going to put you in an important position."
Recently, the sect had lost a large number of hall master-level missions, and there were many vacancies.
As the deputy hall master of the Affairs Hall, his uncle had been in charge for many years. He was experienced and deeply trusted by the sect.
The chief steward had most likely summoned him to discuss the matter of appointing him as hall master.
"Congratulations in advance, Uncle. The next time we meet, I might have to call you Hall Master Qin!" The boorish man said.
Deputy Hall Master Qin waved his hand, pretending to be humble. "Hehe, don't make a fuss before things are settled. Who knows, he might be criticizing me?"
Although he said that, he did not think much of it.
At such a juncture, the chief steward should win over every core figure of the sect.
Why would he criticize him for no reason?
He might really be promoted to a hall master this time.
While he was thinking, Deputy Hall Master Qin quickly rushed to where the chief steward was. He bowed respectfully from afar. "I'm Qin Yuan from the Affairs Hall. Greetings, chief steward!"
He sneaked a glance and saw that Li Yun was there too.
He thought, 'Even he is here. This means that the deputy hall master is really important.'
However, he was slightly puzzled by the fact that the escaped slave was there too.
"Qin Yuan?" The chief manager's brows relaxed, and there was a smile on his face. This made Qin Yuan certain that he was going to appoint him as the hall master of a certain hall. However, he heard words that did not match at all. "Where is the young master you asked about?"
Qin Yuan's expression stiffened. Who? Is he talking about Su Yu?
Seeing Qin Yuan's hesitation, Li Yun immediately tried to smooth things over. "Haha, Brother Qin Yuan, I thought that you were here alone to claim credit. It turns out that you haven't gotten the answer yet."
Qin Yuan was at a loss. "What did you find out?"
Li Yun pointed at Yu Xiang Wan and stroked his beard with a smile. "These two young masters who managed to escape are incredible. They actually managed to rescue all the higher-ups who were trapped in the hands of Elder Mo. Half of them were rescued by this Young Master Yu Xiang Wan while the other half were rescued by the young master you interrogated."
Qin Yuan was dumbstruck when he heard those words.
A muffled clap of thunder flashed through his mind, causing his mind to go completely blank.
The chief manager said with a smile, "That's right. I really did not expect that there would be two unparalleled talents among the slaves who saved many of the higher-ups of the Greater One Sect! Qin Yuan, hurry and bring them here. The other half of the higher-ups are in his hands. "
However, Qin Yuan stood there motionlessly, his lips trembling.
Finally, the chief manager and Li Yun realized that something was wrong with him.
"Qin Yuan, the chief manager is asking you a question." Li Yun gave him a look. Didn't you see that the chief manager was already unhappy?
This is a good thing. Don't spoil the chief manager's mood.
However, Qin Yuan's lips opened and closed. His forehead was full of sweat and he could not say a word.
The chief manager's face darkened and he reprimanded, "Qin Yuan, are you unhappy with me?"
The other party did not reply to his consecutive questions.
Thump —
Qin Yuan, who already felt that a great disaster was about to befall him, was so frightened that he knelt on the ground with a thud. His face was extremely pale. "Please spare my life, please spare my life!"
Everyone was stunned by this scene.
Li Yun said, "Qin Yuan, what do you mean by this?"
Why is he begging for mercy all of a sudden?
Only Yu Xiangwan seemed to realize something. Her face darkened. "What did you do to Su Yu?"
At once, the chief manager and Li Yun's hearts skipped a beat.
Could he have done something to Su Yu?
Pow —
The chief manager stood up abruptly and created a strong gust of air that blew Qin Yuan off the ground.
Then, he grabbed Qin Yuan's neck with his palm, his veins throbbing. "If you don't tell me what happened, I'll strangle you to death right now!"
At this point, Qin Yuan did not dare to hide anything. "Reporting to the chief manager, I … I was careless and killed him in a misunderstanding."
What? Dead?
The chief manager's eyes shone brightly. "Where's the corpse?"
So what if he was dead? The key was the space storage device that contained the survivors.
"In … in the abandoned mine." Qin Yuan's face was full of despair.
Where?
The chief manager could not help but take a few steps back.
Of all places, his corpse had to be in the abandoned mine.
The Nine Underworlds Evil Wind blew there at all times. Even he did not dare to go too deep into the mine. Su Yu was just a junior and would not last long in there.
"You … you …" The chief manager looked at Qin Yuan once again, wishing he could strangle him to death.
He had not only caused Su Yu's death, but also the higher-ups of the faction whom he had painstakingly rescued!
There were at least seven or eight Hall Masters inside.
"I'll kill you!" The chief manager was furious.
It was not uncommon for a Hall Master to find an excuse to kill a slave.
In the past, he would not have bothered.
But Qin Yuan had caused a huge disaster this time around.
"Please wait!" Li Yun pleaded. "Now that things have come to this, what's the point of killing Hall Master Qin? Why don't we let him atone for his crimes? "
The chief manager's anger could not be quelled. He threw Li Yun to the ground. "You, go down to the abandoned mine immediately and bring Su Yu back. If you can't bring him back, don't come back!"
Go down to the mine?
Qin Yuan's expression was as ugly as it could get.
Was that a place where humans could stay? Moreover, he had to find Su Yu?
But if he did not go, he would be dead on the spot!
"Yes, yes, I'll go now, right away!" Qin Yuan got up in a hurry and ran over without stopping.
At this moment, he hated his meddlesome nephew.
Without his request, why would he make things difficult for a slave whom he had no grudge against?
Suddenly, he realized that before Su Yu was thrown into the mine, he had warned him not to overdo things, lest he regret it.
Now, he understood that Su Yu had the confidence to say such things because he held the lives of so many strong fighters of the faction in his hands!
"You, why didn't you say so earlier!" Qin Yuan was so regretful that his intestines turned green!
In the abandoned mine.
Su Yu was thrown into the mine. What greeted his eyes was indeed an underground world that had been dug up to the point of devastation.
At this moment, the underground mine was filled with countless Evil Winds of the Nine Underworlds.
A casual blow from it could take away half of a person's life force.
Su Yu did not care at all, walking toward the depths of the mine.
Gradually, a pale green light shone from the depths of the mine.
Against the pale green light, the whole mine looked gloomy and eerie.
Coupled with the roaring Evil Winds of the Nine Underworlds, it really felt like he had entered the Ghost Prison of the Nine Underworlds.
Even though Su Yu was skilled and courageous, facing the legendary Ghost Prison of the Nine Underworlds alone still made him feel numb.
Forcing himself to calm down, Su Yu went deeper into the mine.
Finally, he reached the end of the mine.
Near the end, all kinds of tools that had not been collected in time were strewn about, even some Nine Underworlds Crystals that had not been taken away in time.
There were also hundreds of skeletons lying quietly on the ground.
It was obvious that when the mine was dug out, the Nine Underworlds were dug out, and a large amount of Evil Winds of the Nine Underworlds were attracted.
It happened so suddenly that these people could not escape in time, and their lives were taken away by the sudden eruption of the rich Evil Winds of the Nine Underworlds.
At the end of the mine, Su Yu saw a gap the size of a head.
On the other side of the gap, there was a deep, pale green color, and unknown screams were coming from it.
Gusts of Evil Winds of the Nine Underworlds were blowing out from the gap.
Su Yu stood in front of the gap, a little unsteady, and was almost blown away by the Evil Winds of the Nine Underworlds.
"What kind of place is the so-called Nine Underworlds?" Su Yu was very curious, and he immediately used his Soul Eyes to peer into the gap to find out what it was.
In the end, when he went deep inside, the soul that he probed felt an extreme chill.
That part of the soul quickly lost contact with Su Yu.
At the same time, there was a piercing cold feeling that spread rapidly from that part of the soul to Su Yu's main body.
Su Yu made a prompt decision to cut off the connection with that part of the soul.
Whoosh —
A dark emerald flame rushed over along the soul, burning until it was thirty feet away from Su Yu.
Su Yu's main soul was in extreme pain, and it even froze.
He shook his head fiercely, and immediately retreated, distancing himself from the emerald flame that was gradually shrinking to the other side of the gap.
Su Yu still had lingering fears. He had almost implicated his main body.
With the power of that strange emerald flame, if he had really been implicated, Su Yu would have died without a doubt!
"Could there really be a World of the Nine Underworlds?" Su Yu was bewildered.
This had completely subverted his previous understanding.
It was rumored that the Nine Underworlds was a place where people died.
However, Su Yu had mastered the Realm of Death, and he had long understood that people would not go anywhere after they died. They would only disappear into thin air, and then be reborn as other forms of life by the reincarnation cycle of energy.
However, the strange world on the other side of the gap was really hard to explain.
It was hard to imagine what kind of world it was.
Chirp —
Just as Su Yu was deep in thought, an eerie cry of a bird came from the other side of the gap.
Su Yu could still clearly hear the sound of wings flapping.
"Impossible, there are still living creatures in that world?" Su Yu was shocked.
His soul had reached the level of Xuan Dao Master. If that bird's soul was not affected by the emerald flame, wouldn't it be far more powerful than him?
Whoosh —
Suddenly, a strange strong wind blew in along with the Evil Winds of the Nine Underworlds.
A large expanse of emerald flame was sent to the other side by the strong wind caused by the wings of the bird.
