The day of the mine opening finally arrived. During these few days, many battles erupted in the boundlessly vast mine. Everyone started a frenzied war of plunder. Those weaker immortal-foundation characters were all plundered clean and many died.
In fact, there were even many immortal kings who died within the mine.
Qin Wentian also encountered many plunderers. He didn't show any politeness and killed all of them. Although this was the rule of the mine, he wouldn't take the initiative to plunder. But if there were people who provoked him, he wouldn't show any mercy. Hence, the number of immortal stones on him grew more and more. When a gigantic spatial gate appeared in the air, resplendent spatial light cascaded downwards, enveloping the mine, Qin Wentian actually felt somewhat depressed.
He had so many immortal stones on him and there were even quite a few emperor stones. Was he going to hand over 90% just like that? This was something he felt extremely unhappy about. But although he was imposing inside, he was merely an immortal king. How could he covet the things of the Realmlord? That would truly be courting death. The Realmlord wouldn't even know about this. His subordinates would deal with him. For example, the controller of this mine, the Jialan Monarch.
He knew that all the mines under the Jialan Monarch's control were connected to the Jialan Monarch's emperor palace through a spatial array. The resources of these mines, even if it was just an ordinary mine, wouldn't allow others to dip their fingers in it. There was only one type of people who dared to dip their fingers in these mines. They were all known as bandits, those fugitives.
"Everyone, get out of here immediately." In the air, an expert guarding the spatial gate spoke. His voice covered the entire area as experts soared up into the air, passing through the spatial gate before vanishing from sight.
Every ten years, a mine would produce a large number of Immortal Stones. At the same time, many people would lose their lives. In fact, many people would be trapped in the mine, waiting for the next ten years. In fact, they would continue to wait until they died and were discovered by others, who would then take away the Immortal Stones they had dug up.
Nobody would be able to take away the resources of the mine.
"Let's go." Qin Wentian and Yang Yun`er left through a spatial gate.
In the external world, in the mountain range, many people walked out from the caves. There were many experts guarding the area, and there were even more of them compared to the time when Qin Wentian first came here. When the mine opened, it was also the day of harvest. Two immortal emperors directly came here from the Jialan Monarch's emperor palace through a teleportation array. They were here to harvest the ores and after they obtained the ores, they would directly use the teleportation array to teleport back to the emperor palace. There was no chance for Qin Wentian to take advantage of them. However, nothing was absolute.
In a spacious area, those people who came out from the mine were all gathered here, handing over their interspatial rings to be counted. Qin Wentian and Yang Yun`er were also among the crowd. With two immortal emperors here and immortal kings in charge of counting, who would dare to act recklessly?
These two immortal emperors weren't among the immortal emperors Qin Wentian met back then. From this, one could see that there were many immortal emperors in the Jialan Monarch's emperor palace. The power of a monarch in the Azure Mystic Immortal Realms would definitely be a peak power. There was no need to doubt this.
Qin Wentian stared at the experts handing over their interspatial rings as he felt a little heartache. 90% of them didn't belong to him.
…
Although this mine was just an ordinary one, they still couldn't afford to lose it. Hence, there were three teleportation arrays connected to the Jialan Emperor Palace and they could be activated at any time.
In addition, these three teleportation arrays were all guarded by experts. This was especially so for the day of harvest. The guards were all peak-stage immortal kings from the Jialan Emperor Palace and were definitely trusted aides of the Jialan Monarch.
At this moment, in front of one of the teleportation arrays, there were two peak-stage immortal kings guarding it. They seemed to be resting but their immortal senses were scanning the surroundings, observing the movements in the surroundings.
At this moment, the immortal senses of these two peak-stage immortal kings seemed to have sensed something. Instantly, their immortal senses gushed over and after that, they saw an incomparably gigantic beast.
At that time, it was a lion. Its eyes were demonic and terrifying, glowing with green light. This lion seemed to be taking light steps, coming from afar, directly walking into their minds. Their consciousnesses struggled frantically, as if they wanted to resist something. However, in the next moment, their eyes opened, also glowing with green light. That lion seemed to be guarding their minds, unable to be removed.
The guards in front of the other two spatial formations had the same experience. Their eyes glowed with green light, and in their minds, they were guarding the same demonic lion.
"Destroy the formation." A voice rang out in their minds. Without any hesitation, they unleashed their most powerful attacks towards the Teleportation Portal, destroying it. In an instant, the sound of explosions rang out through the entire mountain range, causing the expression of the expert who was in the midst of checking the mines to drastically change.
The faces of the two Immortal Emperors also changed, instantly turning pale.
Generally speaking, no one dared to touch the mineral veins, but once someone did, they knew better than anyone else what it meant.
It meant that they would die.
Bandits who dared to rob the mines on the opening day, there was no need to doubt them. They were definitely great bandits.
Hence, one of the immortal emperors directly took out his messaging crystal and sent a strand of immortal sense in, "Monarch, there are bandits attacking. The teleportation array has been destroyed."
As the sound of his voice faded, a stifling pressure bore down from the sky. A group of experts descended from the sky and without exception, all of them were existences at the immortal king realm or above. In addition, all of them exuded the sharpness of someone who had experienced hundreds of battles.
In the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms, bandits were even more terrifying and dangerous compared to the ordinary armies of monarchs. Even if they were at the same level, they were all fugitives who wandered the line between life and death. If they were the slightest bit careless, they would die.
In the immortal realms, there were very few bandits because it was too dangerous. If they plundered the treasures of a world overlord, they would be listed as wanted criminals. Although ordinary mines wouldn't alarm the world overlords, their subordinates had to take responsibility. Given how vast a world was, what sort of status did the world overlord have? It was impossible for them to personally attend to everything. If not, why would they have so many subordinates? But if he didn't act, there were nine world palace lords below him and there were monarchs below them.
Bandits would face boundless pursuit until they died. Hence, the death rate of bandits was extremely high. Very few people would choose to become bandits but those who dared to become bandits were all extremely ruthless people.
Qin Wentian still didn't understand what was going on. Yang Yun`er who was at the side instantly turned pale. She subconsciously pulled Qin Wentian, "Bandits!"
"Bandits!" Qin Wentian's eyes narrowed. When he just entered the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms and arrived at the Windthunder City, Jialan Mingyue already slandered him as a bandit and wanted to use this reason to deal with them. But who would have thought that the first time he came out from the mines, he would actually encounter true bandits.
What made him shocked was that these bandits seemed more like an army compared to the subordinates of the monarchs. Without exception, all of them were clad in armor, from head to toe. All of them were equipped with different types of divine armors that covered their entire bodies.
Being a bandit was a matter of life and death. Who would be willing to reveal their identities so easily? For some cautious bandits, they would wash their hands of the bandits after they made a fortune and directly sneak into the city. Others wouldn't even know that they were bandits.
In the air, a terrifying gigantic beast descended. This was a fearsome demonic lion. Its eyes gleamed with a jade-green light, exuding an extremely demonic aura.
"Evil Emperor!" The two immortal emperors turned even paler. As immortal emperors, even they felt fear in their hearts.
That's right, the Evil Emperor referred to this lion. It had a pair of terrifying evil eyes, it was a supremely powerful demon emperor.
Naturally, this demon emperor wasn't the leader of the bandits.
The Evil Emperor was the mount of the Night Empyrean who once dominated an entire region.
The Night Empyrean was a legendary bandit in the entire Lifelong Realm. His strength was terrifying to the extreme and he plundered many mines, including an extremely valuable one. This matter even alarmed the Realmlord. Two of the world palace lords joined forces and laid down a heavenly net, capturing the Night Empyrean in one fell swoop. Finally, the Night Empyrean was killed on the spot.
This was something that happened many years ago. But today, after so many years, the mount of the Night Empyrean, the Evil Emperor, actually appeared in the territory of the Jialan Monarch.
Was this a revival from the ashes?
Wait, although these bandits were very powerful, they weren't the same as the Night Empyrean's subordinates back then. The Night Empyrean's subordinates were all captured in one fell swoop. If not, if the Night Empyrean was still around, how could he possibly rob such an ordinary mine?
The two immortal emperors felt a chill in their hearts. They naturally didn't forget that legendary bandit. Back then, one of the two palace lords who participated in the hunt for the Night Empyrean was none other than the Lifire Empyrean.
The nine monarchs under the Lifire Empyrean had all participated in that battle back then.
"Who are you?" An immortal emperor stared at a slender figure standing on the back of the Evil Emperor. That figure was also fully armored, clad in silver armor. Only a pair of resplendent eyes could be seen, as well as that slender figure.
No one replied. The entire space was so quiet that it was terrifying. Those experts in the air started to descend. In an instant, a stifling pressure bore down on them, causing countless people to tremble.
"What should we do?" Yang Yun`er stared at Qin Wentian. She didn't expect that she would be able to survive in the mine. However, just now, a glimmer of hope appeared in her heart. Was she going to despair again now?
At this moment, Qin Wentian's expression was extremely unsightly to behold. There were several immortal emperors in the air and that lion was even more terrifying. It wasn't something he could contend against. The two immortal emperors guarding this place all had looks of terror on their faces.
"Everyone, kill them. No one is allowed to flee. If not, when the monarchs descend, they will be killed without mercy." An immortal emperor commanded. The expressions of everyone turned even paler. Did they not see them as humans?
With such a lineup, how could they fight against them? Were they courting death?
"None of you are allowed to move. If not, we will kill without mercy." A cold voice rang out from the air. After that, several experts directly rushed towards the two immortal emperors.
"Flee!" At this moment, the crowd couldn't care so much anymore. Flee. If they remained here, they didn't know what their fates would be. If they fled, although they would still die, it was still a chance of survival.
