Li Yunxiao looked at the fearful gazes the others were giving him. He sneered and said to Ji Lin and the other leaders, "It's rare for you to wait for me here and not leave. Your concern for me is so great. How should I thank you?"
Everyone could hear the sarcasm in his words, and they all looked at each other with helpless expressions.
Tan Dijun smiled sheepishly, "Kid, it's good that you're fine. If something had happened to you, our deal would have been ruined."
"Hmph!"
Li Yunxiao snorted softly and made a grabbing motion with his five fingers. The Northern Sky Chilling Star Sword suddenly flew back into his hand. A sword flower that was as cold as water bloomed in the air. The sword light pointed straight at Zhen Deyou as he said coldly, "Do you still remember what I said earlier? You deserve to die."
Zhen Deyou was shocked when the sword ray pointed at him, and he retreated. He had seen this person kill a Seven Star Martial Venerable with one sword strike and destroy a Rank Eight monster with one punch. He couldn't fight against those two.
In fact, everyone had overestimated Li Yunxiao's strength. It was a Rank Nine profound weapon, the Thunder Punishment, that killed Fang Tianhe. Although the Indestructible Golden Body was powerful, the monster's demonic energy was exhausted and it was at the end of its tether.
However, the visual effects of these two attacks were too shocking. Even Tan Dijun and Ji Lin didn't dare to provoke Li Yunxiao, let alone Zhen Deyou. He was so scared that his expression changed and he hid behind Elder Sima.
Tan Dijun's expression changed and he stepped forward to mediate, "It was Elder Zhen's fault. I'll ask him to apologize to you."
"Apologize?"
Li Yunxiao sneered, "I almost lost my good friend. How can an apology end this? Tan Dijun, you're getting more and more humorous. "
Tan Dijun's eyes bulged in anger, but he didn't dare to fall out with Li Yunxiao. He said angrily, "Then what are you going to do? Anyway, I won't let you kill Elder Zhen! "He suddenly rolled his eyes and said," How about I compensate you with some primary stones? "
He knew Li Yunxiao's personality. He seemed to have an affinity for primary stones.
"Hmm, that's worth considering."
As expected, Li Yunxiao's eyes lit up. He immediately put away the Northern Sky Cold Star Sword and asked, "How much?"
Everyone felt a wave of dizziness. So this was also possible? Previously, when Tan Dijun and Ji Lin were haggling over the price, everyone felt uncomfortable. It looked like money was really omnipotent. Even someone as strong as a Martial Saint could use Primal Stones to buy his life.
Tan Dijun felt his heart ache. He knew that he was definitely going to be extorted again, so he said, "Put it aside for now. When we find the treasure, we'll settle it with the previous two deals. How about it?"
In his heart, he was thinking that when the time came, he would directly let his Senior Brother Zhang Linghua negotiate with this brat. With a powerhouse like Emperor Wu keeping watch, he would be able to suppress him and prevent him from asking for a sky-high price.
"Alright!"
Li Yunxiao was rather straightforward. He stared coldly at Zhen Deyou and said, "Your head will temporarily hang on your neck. Whether or not I take it away will depend on how many source stones your sect is willing to pay for you. If you're not worth tens of billions in their eyes, then I'll take it away directly! "
Zhen Deyou's face paled. Although he was angry and ashamed, he couldn't do anything. Although dignity was important, many people still valued their lives more.
Tan Dijun felt dizzy. Although Li Yunxiao's words were directed at Zhen Deyou, he was undoubtedly telling him that without tens of billions of source stones, they couldn't solve the problem.
He felt that he couldn't deal with this person. He shook his head and said, "Let's go quickly. If we can find the Southern Fire Golden Crystal Origin, we won't lack these source stones."
His words immediately gave birth to some hope and courage in all the surviving warriors. After experiencing such a difficult life and death situation, it was estimated that they would soon see the light of day.
Ji Lin and the others looked at each other, but didn't say anything. They lowered their heads and continued to walk forward.
The whole team was divided into four groups: the local factions, the merchant's forces, and the rogue cultivators. The last group consisted of Li Yunxiao and Jin Xuan. The two of them smiled bitterly. Jin Xuan said gratefully, "Thank you."
Li Yunxiao chuckled and said, "It's okay."
It was just two simple sentences. Some people, some things, didn't need to be said too much.
After the fight with the Muddy Monsters, people were dispirited.
Jin Xuan said, "Young Master Yun has a heavy responsibility. I hope you won't sacrifice yourself to save me again. Otherwise, I won't be able to rest easy."
Li Yunxiao smiled and said, "Don't worry. There's no danger ahead."
"What? How did Young Master Yun know that? "Jin Xuan felt strange.
The two of them talked in a normal tone, so everybody could hear them clearly. They were all surprised, wanting to hear Li Yunxiao's opinion.
Li Yunxiao smiled and said, "Didn't you see those Merchant's jokers walking in the front? When we were in danger, when did they walk in the front? "
"This …"
Jin Xuan was bewildered. Then, she said, "Oh, I see!"
Everyone revealed a look of understanding. That was indeed the case.
Ji Lin was enraged. He snorted angrily, flicked his sleeves, and continued to move forward. He didn't want to listen to Li Yunxiao anymore.
Li Yunxiao smiled, forming a group with Jin Xuan. They followed the others to cross a few more mountains. Eventually, they arrived at a spacious area where the vegetation started to wither and the trees became sparse.
"A place with a mineral lode must have no plants. This place does look like it."
Xiao Minghui gazed into the distance and said, "It seems like there's no life in front of us. I can vaguely sense the Fire element. It's a mineral lode. We've been in South Flame City for a long time, but we didn't know that there were such resources in this place. "
Everybody jumped on a mountain in front of them. Looking down, they saw a fiery red area on the surface of the mountain. It extended to a far distance, and they couldn't see the end of it!
"Magnetic! It's such a big mineral lode! "
Everybody was astounded, looking at the lode. This mineral lode appeared on the surface of the mountain without any concealment. At first glance, it wasn't less than the other mineral lodes in South Flame City.
The big forces were shocked, but they were suspicious. Why did the Thunder Wind Chamber of Commerce provide such a big mineral lode? It wasn't their style of doing things.
Ji Lin said meaningfully, "We've investigated this mineral lode. It's at least one of the top five mineral lodes we've found so far. It's confirmed that the Southern Flame Gold Crystal Essence is under this mountain."
Xun Zhiming said, "Vice President Ji, you should tell us why you've offered such a big resource. Don't tell us that you're learning from Lei Feng. We're all adults."
Ji Lin said leisurely, "I'm kind enough to serve you guys, but you don't appreciate it. It's okay. You guys can go to the mountain and see for yourselves."
Tan Dijun flew up first, heading to the opposite mountain. Everybody waited until Ji Lin's group had gone there before following them. They all remembered what Li Yunxiao had said. Only when people from the Chamber of Commerce left first would it prove that there was no danger ahead.
Everyone reached the peak of the mountain and looked down. It was a bottomless black hole. It was located in the middle of the brightest red ores. Strong gales kept blowing out of the hole, bringing with them an extremely strong fire element. Even some of the Martial Arts Grandmasters found it difficult to fight against it.
Li Yunxiao looked at the black hole and said seriously, "There are astral winds. Even though they aren't very strong, it's enough to prove that this place isn't simple. From the activity of the fire element, there is indeed the Southern Flame Gold Crystal Essence in the black hole. But … "He laughed coldly and said," Is there a Rank Nine demonic beast in there? "
Everybody was shocked and thought of this possibility. Otherwise, the Thunder Wind Chamber of Commerce wouldn't have made this treasure land known to everyone. They were all bewildered.
A Rank Nine demonic beast was comparable to a human Jiutian Realm expert. It could kill them like dogs!
Tan Dijun also looked serious. If there was a Rank Nine demonic beast, even Zhang Linghua wouldn't be able to chase it away.
A group of people stared at Ji Lin. Right now, he was the only one who knew the situation best.
Ji Lin smiled seriously and said, "Everybody, don't worry. There is no Rank Nine demonic beast in there. As for the others, I won't say much. Information is very valuable. If you are willing to pay tens of billions of Primordial Stones for it, I will consider telling you. "
"Hmph, if there is no Rank Nine demonic beast, then it must be a dangerous place."
Tan Dijun said, "Who is willing to go down with me?"
If the Thunder Wind Chamber of Commerce could get information, then he could too.
The local people looked at each other. Finally, Xiao Minghui and Xun Zhiming stepped forward, willing to go down together. The rest of the warriors were obviously not strong enough.
As for the rogue warriors, they wouldn't go to their deaths.
Tan Dijun's gaze fell on Li Yunxiao and said, "Young Master Yun, are you interested?"
Li Yunxiao smiled and said, "I'm not interested. The Southern Fire Gold Crystal Ore here is enough to satisfy me. The Southern Fire Gold Crystal Essence is being watched by experts like you, so I don't dare to have any ideas. "
His insincere words immediately attracted a wave of disdain.
Tan Dijun didn't force him and said, "Then we will go down and take a look. Young Master Yun will have to worry about this." He was obviously referring to the Chamber of Commerce's people. With Li Yunxiao here as a deterrent, Ji Lin wouldn't dare to do anything.
Then, the three of them flew down into the black hole.
The rest of the warriors looked at the exposed Southern Fire Gold Crystal Ore on the mountain, their eyes shining. It would be best if they could find the Southern Fire Gold Crystal Essence, but it didn't matter if they didn't. The Southern Fire Gold Crystal Essence in front of them was enough for them to exchange for their next life's worth of Primordial Stones. They excitedly ran all over the mountain and started digging.
Warriors were different from ordinary people when they mined. They executed all sorts of skills, smashing the ground and collecting the large chunks of South Fire Gold Crystal Ore into their rings.
Li Yunxiao was very calm. He stood on the mountain peak and watched everyone's actions, seemingly indifferent. Jin Xuan followed his lead and naturally didn't move.
Ji Lin was surprised and said, "Brat, you're quite calm. Are you also waiting for the Southern Fire Gold Crystal Essence?"
Li Yunxiao smiled and said, "Sir President hasn't moved, so why should I? In short, I believe in Sir President's wisdom. He definitely won't lose out. Following Sir President naturally won't lose out. "
