Experts from all over the world had been camping in the Green Grassland for a few days, waiting for the phenomenon to end and the True Stone mine to appear. Who would be able to accept that?
They had been dug out!
Someone had beaten them to it!
Experts from all over the world leaned against the wall, their faces pained.
They had roughly guessed from the remnants of the mine that there must have been a large number of True Stones here before.
"Who!?"
Someone couldn't control his emotions and roared, "Who is it!?"
The appearance of a True Stone mine caused a huge commotion.
Many factions and experts had spent a lot of money to rush here, only to enter such a large mine and not see a single True Stone. It was undoubtedly a heavy blow.
Be content.
If Jun Changxiao hadn't shut down the array system in advance, not to mention True Stones, they would have been blown up by now.
"Who else could it be!?"
An expert said coldly, "It must be Empress Ling Yao!"
The mineral vein was right in front of her house. She was close to the water and enjoyed the moonlight first. She could figure it out if she used her brain a little.
Of course.
Those experts who believed that it was Empress Ling Yao who had dug out the True Stones were actually blaming her. After all, such a large mine had been dug out first, so there had to be someone, even if it was a scapegoat.
"No wonder that woman didn't appear after the phenomenon. She had already dug out the mine and is probably secretly laughing at us!"
If the mine was still in the Jade Tripod Mountains, the various experts might not have suspected Empress Ling Yao, but now that it was near the connection point, it was too easy to make the connection.
In fact, they even felt like they were being toyed with!
"Let's go!"
"Let's go find her!"
It was true that natural treasures were obtained by fate, but a large True Stone mine had been dug out, so the various factions couldn't accept it. So, they planned to ask Empress Ling Yao for travel expenses. Otherwise, this trip would have been wasted.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Streams of light flew out of the mine and hovered at the vortex connected to Empress Ling Yao.
"What's going on?"
"Aren't they fighting for the mine?"
The passersby were a little confused.
When a True Stone mine appeared, the various sects would fight for the right to mine it. Why did they fly out so peacefully as soon as they entered?
"Wait? Why aren't there any True Stones in the mine? "
"He was poached away in advance?"
The experts from various forces flew out. Only then did many people dare to release their spiritual senses into the mine. When they saw that it was empty inside, their expressions immediately became sluggish.
Could it be...
Empress Ling Yao had dug him out!
Why would a passerby think that way? This was because the experts of the various sects had all gathered at each other's doorstep.
Buzz!
It was then that Empress Ling Yao appeared out of thin air, shrouded in clouds and mist. "Why are you standing outside my territory instead of fighting for the mine?" she asked in a displeased tone.
The experts of the various sects became even more furious.
They felt that this woman was deliberately humiliating them!
"Hmph."
A powerhouse with a slightly irritable temper said coldly, "The true stones of the mine have all been dug out by you, so what are we still fighting for?"
"Poached by me?"
Due to the mist covering her face, he could not make out Empress Ling Yao's features. But from her tone, he could guess that she was probably in a daze right now.
Actually, she had thought about it carefully before the mine had appeared. In the end, she had decided to give up on fighting for it because there were too many Dao Sects, and she might end up offending them.
But now …
That person had really not participated in anything, and now she was saying that she had poached him?
Framed? Framed?
"What?"
A Dao Sect higher-up said coldly, "Empress Ling Yao, you dared to do it, but you don't dare to admit it?"
"My apologies."
Empress Ling Yao said, "I didn't dig the mine, so why should I admit it?" She paused. "Even if I did, what can you do to me?"
Her tone was overbearing!
What she meant was that the mine had no owner. Even if she had gotten it, were they going to fight for it?
However, the experts of the various sects unanimously agreed that this woman had admitted to it!
"Girl."
One of the higher-ups said coldly, "Although you hold a position in the World Hall, don't think too highly of yourself."
"A person from the Lower Realm who ascended thousands of years ago was able to sneak into the World Hall in such a short time. Who knows what kind of underhanded methods she used?" Someone next to him said disdainfully.
The World Hall was very powerful in the Upper Realm, but it was only limited to low-level sects and itinerant cultivators. The Dao Sects did not care about it at all, and would only bow their heads if the Ten Great Immortal Sects came forward.
"Women."
"Aren't those the only ways to get to the top?"
Someone sneered.
Empress Ling Yao said coldly, "You've gone too far."
One of the experts said angrily, "You dug up the True Stone mine and purposely released the Vision of Heaven and Earth to attract us here. Aren't you going too far?"
In fact, they were not being unreasonable. If the mine had been found by someone else, they would have accepted it. But you've already gotten it, yet you still released the Vision of Heaven and Earth to attract everyone here.
"Cut the crap!"
The impatient expert said, "Hurry up and give us a portion of the True Stones!"
The other sects' intentions were simple. Since they had been tricked by you, they would not return empty-handed. At least three to five … no, eight to nine million True Stones!
They had underestimated this large mine. If they had known that Jun Changxiao had dug up ten billion True Stones, they would have demanded a few hundred million True Stones. If they had known that there were True Stones, they would have fought with all their might.
"I don't have any True Stones, how can I share them with you?"
Empress Ling Yao was really depressed. If she had gotten the mine, she could have shared some with them to avoid trouble. But the problem was that she had not taken anything and knew nothing, so how could she share it?
"Huu!"
"Huu!"
The experts of the other sects all released their cultivation. Clearly, they were using their actions to tell this woman that this was not over until they had shared the True Stones!
"Patriarch!"
An intelligence agent of the Sect of All Times said, "The experts of the other sects have all released their cultivation. They will clash with Empress Ling Yao at any time."
Jun Changxiao picked up the goblet next to him with his right hand and gently swirled the tea inside. He smiled and said, "This feels good."
Although the trick was a little low-level, it seemed that the effect had far exceeded his expectations.
"This woman represents the Realm Hall after all. If she clashes with the other sects, she will probably be scolded by her superiors. She might even lose her job." The more Jun Changxiao thought about it, the more comfortable he felt.
"Patriarch!"
At this moment, Jing Zhi, who was temporarily acting as an intelligence agent, said, "The frontline sent news that a white-haired old woman suddenly appeared at the entrance of the Realm!"
"Who?"
"Enlightened Cultivator Qing Wei!"
"Is she also here for the mine?"
To be worthy of an enlightened cultivator, he must be at the peak of the Truth Seeking Realm. It seemed that things were getting out of hand.
Wait a minute!
If one day I also reach the peak of the Truth Seeking Realm, what title should I give myself? Perfected Super Handsome? Perfected Jun Shuai?
"Perfected Gou Sheng." The System complained.
"Get lost!"
"Patriarch!"
Jing Zhi said, "It has been confirmed that Perfected Qing Wei is Empress Ling Yao's master!"
Jun Changxiao looked stunned and said, "I didn't expect this woman to have a master at the peak of the Truth Seeking Realm. She really can't be underestimated."
"Patriarch!"
Jing Zhi reported again, "After Perfected Qing Wei appeared, the situation changed. The experts of the various sects left the Green Grassland one after another."
"They didn't fight?"
"No!"
"Did the woman give you any money?"
"No!"
"…"
Jun Changxiao leaned back in his chair and said with a broken face, "This trap that I carefully set up was easily broken just because Perfected Qing Wei appeared?"
"Damn it!"
Gou Sheng held the goblet tightly, not caring at all.
However, the face reflected on it gradually changed, and a sinister smile appeared. "Empress Ling Yao, this is only the first round. There will be more tricks waiting for you in the future."
"Sigh."
The System said helplessly, "I can't tell who is the protagonist and who is the villain at all."
