"Yeah." Jianchen nodded slightly. He was not surprised by Ye Xing's experience at all. Whether it was the Saints' World or the Tian Yuan Continent of the past, the law of the jungle had never changed. There were countless people like Ye Xing across the world.
Ye Xing was extremely polite. The person before him was an expert who did not even fear the ancestor of the Lu family. With his strength as a Sainthood expert, he would not even dare to breathe too loudly before an expert like that. However, he was forced to pluck up his courage and carefully observe the senior's reaction right now.
He had taken the initiative to mention the high grade divine crystals here to cause trouble for the Lu family. At the same time, he had another thought, which was that he hoped the senior could take him away from here. Otherwise, the Lu family would never spare him for revealing the existence of the high grade divine crystals. They would definitely torture him to death with the harshest methods possible.
However, to Ye Xing's disappointment, the "senior" who was protected by the sword light didn't do anything after learning that there were high grade divine crystals here.
Aside from Ye Xing, all the miners gathered there stared at Jianchen hopefully. Basically, all of them hoped that Jianchen and the Lu family would become heavily injured so that they could use this opportunity to escape and regain their freedom.
Jianchen stood there quietly. The light around him illuminated the dark chasm, making him seem as dazzling as a miniature sun. A large group of miners and guards of the Lu family gathered in the surroundings. None of them dared to breathe too loudly. They all felt uneasy.
Jianchen had expanded the senses of his soul long ago. Even though the senses of his soul were suppressed in the Saints' World and could not cover an area as great as on the Tian Yuan Continent, it still completely enveloped the Dark Cloud Mountains.
Tunnels had already been dug into the depths of the Dark Cloud Mountains. Countless tunnels crisscrossed and extended in all directions. They had basically formed an extremely huge maze that led to the depths of the earth.
However, the Lu family had clearly made sufficient preparations to prevent the miners from escaping through the tunnels. Basically, all the tunnels that extended beyond the Dark Cloud Mountains were covered in powerful formations. Even Reciprocity experts would need to spend some time to get through them, so they had completely cut off any thoughts of escaping.
In just a single moment, the senses of Jian Chen's soul pierced through all the mines of various sizes. However, what made him frown was that it was very difficult for the senses of his soul to penetrate any place where divine crystals were hidden. Even for some ordinary rocks, the range of the senses of his soul was extremely limited. He was unable to observe the divine crystals hidden in the rocks with the senses of his soul.
After all, this was the Saints' World. There was nothing that the Tian Yuan Continent could compare to.
"Ye Xing, take me to where the high grade divine crystals are," Jianchen said.
Ye Xing was overjoyed and agreed in a hurry. He was afraid that Jianchen would become annoyed if he was too slow, so he nodded and led Jianchen into the tunnel.
The old man and many of the guards of the Lu family all became excited when they saw that Jianchen was about to enter the tunnel. When Jianchen was here, they did not dare to flee. They could only remain there in fear as they could lose their lives at any time. However, once Jianchen entered the tunnel, it meant that there was hope for them to escape as well.
However, just when Jianchen was about to enter the tunnel, he suddenly came to a halt. With a wave of his hand, the Flying Snow sword shot out as a silver streak of light. It hovered in the air with a cold glow, and the clear thrum of the sword would ring out from time to time. Snow would fall from the sky as well.
"This sword is controlled by the senses of my soul. Even if I enter the tunnel, I'll know everything that happens outside. If anyone tries to escape …" Jianchen stopped talking, but the heavy killing intent in his voice made all the people who wanted to flee shiver.
"Old Ancestor, Old Ancestor, you must come quickly …" The short old man kept praying in his heart.
Jianchen arrived at the place where the high grade divine crystals had been mined very soon under Ye Xing's lead. It did not seem any different from anywhere else. It was all tough rock.
Jianchen glanced around and formed a sword with his finger. Immediately, a four-foot-long, silver-white sword Qi shot out, stabbing into the place where the high grade divine crystals had just been mined.
The tough rock was as fragile as tofu before the sword Qi. Jianchen's sword Qi did not penetrate the rock at all. After drawing a circle with a diameter of one meter, he separated it from the rock and dug out a four-foot-tall pillar in the end.
Jianchen stared at the pillar for a while. Then, he used the sword Qi at the tip of his finger to quickly dissect the pillar. In the end, he discovered two divine crystals the size of pigeon eggs. The pure Origin Energy within them even moved Jianchen.
"High grade divine crystals!" Jianchen cried out. His face was filled with great joy. High grade divine crystals had been mined so easily. This meant that the number of high grade divine crystals hidden in the mine was far greater than he had imagined.
"This is a high grade divine crystal mine. Even though it's only a small one, it's still very precious to us right now. Jianchen, you have to take over this divine crystal mine no matter what you do. With these resources, not only will Shen Jian be able to break through, but I'll be able to reconstruct my body even better. I might even be able to reconstruct a perfect body," Fairy Haoyue's voice rang out in Jianchen's head. After coming to the Saints' World, Jianchen had always kept the Bright Moon Divine Hall in his Space Ring. Jianchen carried it with him at all times while Fairy Haoyue reconstructed her body in the Bright Moon Divine Hall as well. However, it clearly could not be completed in a day or two.
"We probably can't take over this mine right now," Jianchen murmured. How could they take over the mine as long as the ancestor of the Lu family was not eliminated?
"Then hurry up and go back. Use the divine crystals you obtained here to help Shen Jian break through, and then eliminate the ancestor of the Lu family as soon as possible so that we can take over this mine." Fairy Haoyue's voice was slightly urgent. Although she only needed a strand of origin energy to reconstruct her body, the reconstructed body would be the weakest of all. It might even be weaker than some mortals with stronger bodies. It would affect her rate of recovery in the future, so she naturally did not want to reconstruct a body like that.
Jianchen pondered for a while before immediately leaving the mine with Ye Xing. With a few flashes, he reappeared outside.
The Flying Snow sword hovered in the air, cutting off any thoughts of escape. As a result, all the miners and guards of the Lu family gathered here.
Jian Chen looked at the hopeful miners. After a moment of hesitation, he said, "If you don't want to stay, then leave quickly. The Lu family will be destroyed soon, so there's no point in continuing to work for the Lu family." With that, he said, "There's no point.
After saying that, Jianchen stowed the Flying Snow sword away and shot into the sky with Ye Xing in one hand.
Jianchen's first half was for the miners, while the second half was more for the guards of the Lu family. Not all the guards were members of the Lu family. Most of them had been recruited by the Lu family, or they had joined the Lu family of their own accord in search of a backer.
As expected, the expressions of many of the guards changed when they heard Jianchen's last half. They were all surprised and doubtful. If the Lu family really was about to be destroyed, would they not be courting death if they continued to work for the Lu family?
