"I really can't hide it from you," Nangong Tong sighed bitterly. Nanyun Tong smiled bitterly and sighed gently. He said slowly, "Bing Lou, our Dong 'an province has indeed come across quite the trouble this time."
Bing Lou listened to Nanyun Tong's explanation quietly. With a gentle wave of his sleeve, the power of ice and snow surged out, condensing into two cups of ice before him and Nanyun Tong in an instant. He pulled out some precious wine from his Space Ring and unhurriedly filled the two cups to the brim. He then gestured for Nanyun Tong to begin.
Nangong Tong picked up the cup of ice with both hands. After clinking his cup with Bing Lou's, he drank all the wine in the cup in a single gulp. He said slowly, "A small high grade divine crystal mine has appeared in our Dong 'an province. Even though it's just a small mine, its existence is extremely important to our Dong' an province. It also relates to the future of our Nangong clan."
"However, this small high grade divine crystal mine has been taken over by an Overgod from another divine kingdom. With the current strength of our Dong 'an province, there's nothing we can do to threaten an Overgod. As a result, I've specially come to visit brother Bing Lou and see if you have any ideas on how to deal with this matter," Jian Chen said.
Bing Lou glanced at Nangong Tong deeply and smiled gently, "Since you've come to find me for this matter, it looks like your Nangong clan should have taken quite a large portion of the mine. If you can't take back the divine crystal mine, your Nangong clan should suffer the greatest loss."
Nangong Tong smiled awkwardly, "Brother Bing Lou, you must be joking. Currently, our Nangong clan, the Huo family, and the Dong family have only taken twenty-five percent of the mine. The other seventy-five percent has been split between the other clans and organisations." Nangong Tong paused when he reached there. He smiled mysteriously and continued, "It's just that quite a few Gods from the other clans in the Dong 'an province have entered the Divine King's dwelling this time, but not many of them have come out. On the other hand, our Nangong clan hasn't suffered any losses other than the loss of a God a few years ago."
The reason why Nangong Tong had asked Bing Lou to share the mine with the Dong 'an province was because he had already predicted that the opening of the Divine King's dwelling would cause the powerful clans in the province to suffer heavy losses. As a matter of fact, many of them would lose the right to exist in the provincial city. The distribution of the high grade divine crystal mine would definitely need to be rearranged. By then, their Nangong Tong would be able to take the greatest share through Bing Lou's influence.
Bing Lou nodded slightly and said with composure, "Alright, I'll help you. Nangong Tong, I hope you can become an Overgod as soon as possible."
Nangong Tong immediately beamed with joy when he received Bing Lou's reply. However, he seemed to think of something soon afterwards, and he added, "Oh right, it's said that the Overgod who has taken over our Dong 'an province has comprehended the Laws of the Sword."
"An Overgod who has comprehended the Laws of the Sword?"
It would have been fine if Nangong Tong had not mentioned the Laws of the Sword, but Bing Lou's eyes immediately narrowed when he mentioned the Overgod who had comprehended the Laws of the Sword.
As an Overgod, the information Bing Lou possessed was naturally not something a God like Nangong Tong could compare to. For example, Nangong Tong had only heard about a few Overgods from the Divine Kingdom of Pingtian. However, Bing Lou did not just know about Overgods from the Divine Kingdom of Pingtian. He basically knew all the Overgods from the surrounding divine kingdoms as well.
He also knew that apart from Ling Hougong and Jianchen, who he had worked with in the Divine King's dwelling, there was no third Overgod who had comprehended the Laws of the Sword in the surrounding divine kingdoms.
"Nangong Tong, do you know what the Overgod who has comprehended the Laws of the Sword looks like?" Bing Lou stared at Nanyun Tong with brimming interest. His carefree expression had vanished, replaced by a sliver of sternness.
Nangong Tong was surprised by Bing Lou's change. He suddenly felt an ill omen, but he did not hesitate at all. Using his great memory, he drew out Bai Ziqi's drawing once again.
To no surprise, the person in the drawing was Jianchen!
When Bing Lou saw that the person in the drawing was actually Jianchen, his face immediately changed. Afterwards, he gently placed down the cup of ice in his hand and sighed gently.
"Brother Bing Lou, do you know this person?" Nangong Tong could not help but ask.
After a moment of silence, Bing Lou said, "I do know this person. He used the jade of the Divine King to enter the dwelling first. He's extremely powerful. Two early Overgods died to his hands in the Divine King's dwelling."
Nangong Tong's face became rather ugly. He murmured, "He's actually one of the people who used the jade of the Divine King to enter the dwelling? Was he the one who killed the God from our Nangong clan and the Huo family a few years ago? "
Bing Lou stared at Nangong Tong sternly and said, "Nangong Tong, we once roamed the outside world together. For the sake of our past, I need to give you a piece of advice. Don't offend this person. His identity is anything but simple. Not only is he extremely powerful, but there's also the shadow of a supreme expert behind him." Bing Lou could not help but think of Fairy Haoyue when he mentioned a supreme expert. Even Fairy Haoyue's weak soul had managed to break through to the half-step Primordial realm with the power of laws left behind by the Divine King Duanmu. What did that mean?
It meant that Fairy Haoyue was extremely powerful when she was alive. Her comprehension of the laws of the world had completely surpassed the half-step Divine King Duanmu.
Moreover, the young man with a fan who had saved Jianchen in the end possessed an extremely great background as well. He actually had the personal protection of a Divine King.
Nangong Tong's face immediately changed when he heard Bing Lou's advice.
"And don't look into the matter of the God who died from your Nangong clan. You can forget about the high grade divine crystal mine. What he lacks right now is cultivation resources like divine crystals, "Bing Lou continued. He was afraid that Nangong Tong would anger Jianchen.
.....
Several days later, Nangong Tong returned to the Dong 'an province. He did not divulge the contents of his conversation with Bing Lou, nor did he provide any explanations. He directly announced that the Nangong clan would give up on the high grade divine crystal mine in the Dark Cloud Mountains and would no longer interfere.
The Nangong clan's withdrawal immediately caused quite a stir in the Dong 'an province. Although the Nangong clan did not provide any explanations, the powerful clans in the Dong' an province were no idiots. They could tell from the Nangong clan's attitude that the Overgod of the Sword who had taken over the high grade divine crystal mine was not to be trifled with.
After the Nangong clan announced their withdrawal from the distribution of the divine crystal mine, the Huo family and the Dong family remained silent about the matter of the Dark Cloud Mountains.
Even the three peak clans of the Dong 'an province did not dare to mention the Dark Cloud Mountains, so the other powerful clans naturally understood that they probably could not take back the divine crystal mine. Even though they were all extremely disappointed, there was nothing they could do.
"It's been three months, yet the powerful clans of the Dong 'an province still haven't done anything." The black-robed Shen Jian sat on a mountain peak in the Dark Cloud Mountains. He looked in the direction of the Dong 'an province as he murmured to himself.
It had already been three months since Jianchen began cultivating. During that time, Shen Jian had always been waiting for the powerful clans of the Dong 'an province, but clearly, he had not even seen a single trace of them.
After the three months of cultivation, many of the divine crystals buried deep underground in the small high grade divine crystal mine had been reduced to the most ordinary rock because they had lost all of their origin energy.
