'☆ Look at the correct …) Edition Chapter Z Above
Both sides of the rugged mountain path were filled with Black Fiend Sect's disciples.
Under the Black Fiend Sect's disciples' orders, the group of two hundred people walked for a while before reaching their destination.
Su Yi saw a huge valley. The valley's surroundings were messy and there were many caves.
Beside each cave, there were Black Fiend Sect's disciples standing guard. Their auras were extraordinary and any one of them had an extraordinary cultivation.
Su Yi secretly sized up the place and memorized the terrain in his heart, making preparations for his escape.
The valley was like a mine, but the surrounding Heaven and Earth Energy was quite extraordinary.
"Come and check."
The two hundred people were divided into groups and scattered around several cave entrances. The Black Fiend Sect's disciples came over for a strict check. No one was allowed to bring in a spatial bag or even any Origin Stones.
The spatial bag had a separate space inside. If someone brought the spatial bag in to steal Origin Stones, it would be a huge loss. The Black Fiend Sect would not make such a mistake.
Moreover, the Black Fiend Sect's inspection was not limited to this. Every cave entrance had a special inspection device that seemed to be able to check for other things.
Su Yi stood in line and silently observed everything with a solemn expression.
The Black Fiend Sect's disciples at the surrounding cave entrances had stronger auras than those outside. They were probably the Black Fiend Sect's elites.
The Origin Stones produced by this mine were naturally an important industry for the Black Fiend Sect.
Su Yi knew that with his cultivation, it would be a fool's dream if he wanted to escape from this place under normal circumstances.
It was no wonder that the skinny old man from the Black Fiend Sect was so assured to remove the restriction on his body.
"Open your arms and take out everything."
In front of Su Yi, a skinny old man was being inspected.
"I don't have anything on me. If I had the money to buy a spatial bag, would I still be able to help you mine Origin Stones?"
The skinny old man muttered. His clothes were extremely simple and plain. His forehead seemed to have turned a bit white. His head of withered black hair was like straw, tightly tied to his head.
Su Yi's gaze inadvertently landed on the old man's body. From the aura emitted from the old man's body, it seemed like his cultivation wasn't very high. At most, he was at the Yuan Profound Realm. Moreover, his cultivation level wasn't very high.
Looking at the old man's age, he was probably in his fifties. Su Yi inwardly sighed. Perhaps talent determined everything. It was not without reason.
With such a low cultivation at such an age, he still had to rely on mining to obtain Origin Stones to cultivate. His life could be considered as a coward.
"Let's go. Follow closely behind me and mine for primeval stones. You have a mission every day. If you can't complete your mission or do something behind my back, you'll have to bear the consequences!"
The skinny old man seemed to have been inspected, and the Black Fiend Sect disciples at the entrance of the cave let him in. Their tone carried a warning and reminder.
"Check..
. "It was Su Yi's turn.
According to the Black Fiend Sect's disciple's instructions, Su Yi was checked and his body was searched.
With Su Yi's ragged appearance, the Black Fiend Sect's disciple did not pay much attention to Su Yi. After a simple inspection, Su Yi was allowed to enter the cave.
Following the person in front, Su Yi carefully entered the cave. It was different from what he had imagined.
The inside of the cave was extremely large. There were many tunnels crisscrossing each other, just like an underground maze.
Moreover, the cave was extremely lively. There were many Black Fiend Sect's disciples patrolling the area. There were also many miners pushing special carts. The carts were filled with rocks of different sizes. The largest was the size of a baby, while the smallest was the size of a fist.
These rocks were of different colors, but they seemed to be very heavy. Two people pushing a cart, and both of them were martial artists with cultivation, seemed to be very strenuous.
"Hurry up with me. If you can't complete the mission today, there will be consequences for you!" Inside the cave, a large man from the Black Fiend Sect had a gloomy look in his eyes. The long whip in his hand ruthlessly lashed out at the large man pushing the cart.
"Pa …"
Under the lash of the whip, the large man staggered and fell to the ground. A bloody mark appeared on his back, but he immediately struggled up. His eyes were filled with dread and fear. He didn't even dare to utter a single sound. He immediately used all of his strength to push the cart away with his companions.
As Su Yi and the others saw this, many of their complexions changed.
Were these people also here to mine for primordial stones like them? It seemed like they had suffered quite a bit.
"What are you looking at? Hurry up and get ready to mine."
Looking at the gazes of Su Yi and the others, the large man from the Black Fiend Sect coldly glanced at Su Yi and the others. He was well aware that these newcomers would be able to work at the beginning, but they wouldn't be able to last for long. Even so, this was enough for them to catch up with the latest progress.
The thin old man lowered his head, as if he didn't care about the large man from the Black Fiend Sect. Instead, he looked around with interest.
"There seems to be something special about this."
At first, Su Yi hadn't paid much attention to the old man. But this small, unintentional reaction had attracted Su Yi's attention.
Based on Su Yi's experience and awareness, this thin old man seemed to be very abnormal. Everyone's complexions changed, and they all feared the Black Fiend Sect disciples. But the old man's reaction seemed a bit off.
"Follow me. Don't look around. When the time comes, just do what you're supposed to do. Otherwise, you'll have to bear the consequences!"
The Black Fiend Sect disciple continued to lead the way, warning Su Yi and the others.
The mine was very deep and crisscrossed. If no one led the way, Su Yi really would get lost.
"This is very abnormal. This must be a black mine." The deeper they went, the more people Su Yi encountered. The more he felt that something was wrong.
Almost every one of the people who had been mining here was as thin as a match. Their spirits were also dispirited. It was as if they had been squeezed to the extreme.
The others in Su Yi's group seemed to have noticed this as well. Their expressions grew even more serious as worry began to appear in their eyes.
"Everyone, why do I feel like something's not right?"
"Is the Black Fiend Sect trying to trick us?!"
"… …"
Unable to bear it any longer, some people began to whisper as a small disturbance began to rise.
"I told you to be quiet. Didn't you hear me?"
The Black Fiend Sect disciple leading the way turned his head, his expression dark and cold as he stared at Su Yi's group.
"I want to leave now. I don't want to mine for the Black Fiend Sect anymore. Please take me out!"
A large man opened his mouth, his eyes moving slightly. He was around thirty years old and had some shrewdness. He felt that something was wrong and wanted to leave.
Upon hearing these words, the gazes of the surrounding group immediately turned to look at him.
Many people's eyes moved, as if they all had the same thought.
Along the way, and especially when they reached this cave, everything made them feel uneasy.
"Say that again?"
The Black Fiend Sect disciple leading the group slowly stepped forward, stopping in front of the shrewd large man. His expression was indifferent as he asked in an indifferent voice.
