Zhao Hai's sharp gaze pierced through the crowd and locked onto Chu Chen, who seemed to have nothing to do with the matter.
"Spirit Stream Dog, are you even listening to what I just said?"
Zhao Hai's voice was clearly very soft, but it shook everyone present, causing their auras to surge and their faces to turn pale.
Chu Chen looked at the white-clothed manager, Zhao Hai, without saying a word.
"Spirit Stream dog, how dare you be impudent in front of me!"
Zhao Hai's eyes flashed with a cold light. His right wrist flickered, and the steel whip in his hand turned into a blazing silver shadow. It broke through the layers of the void, passing through the gaps between the bodies of several cultivators, and shot towards the youth.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The silver shadow pierced through the layers of space and went straight for the grey-clothed youth's forehead, as if it wanted to run through his skull.
The whip was too fast. Not to mention the cultivators not being able to react, even if they did, no one dared to move in the slightest. This silver shadow could easily kill everyone present in an instant.
This youth from the Spirit Stream Sect was doomed!
Among everyone, only the red-clothed young woman was moving, but she was the furthest away from Chu Chen. It was too late for her to stop him.
Just as the silver shadow flew in front of Chu Chen's face and was about to run through his skull, Chu Chen calmly raised his right wrist to protect his face.
Clang!
The silver shadow hit his right wrist squarely. There was no tragic scene of the wrist and skull being run through at the same time, but sparks flew all over the sky!
Only then did the cultivators react. The steel whip hit the crystal shackles on Chu Chen's wrist.
Sparks flew, and blazing streams of spiritual power surged and exploded, scattering in all directions.
The silver shadow retreated back into Zhao Hai's hand. His eyes were full of surprise. He never thought that the grey-clothed youth would actually use the crystal shackles to block his Void Shattering Strike!
The killing intent in his eyes instantly became heavier. Such a criminal naturally couldn't be allowed to live.
"Does Sir Overseer still want to use the second whip?"
The red-clothed beautiful woman walked out from the crowd with a charming smile. "The first whip couldn't even kill a trapped Spirit Stream rookie. If the second whip is used, I'm afraid the glory of the Nine Heavens will be covered in dust."
"You …"
Zhao Hai wanted to angrily rebuke her, but his spiritual perception sensed something on her body that forced him to suppress his anger. "How many lashes I want to give him is my own business. However, a Spirit Creek dog really isn't worth it."
At this time, the beautiful woman in red smiled at Chu Chen, indicating that he did not need to worry and that she was here.
Chu Chen wasn't worried at all, but he was still grateful that the woman in red was protecting him. He gently nodded his head.
"Listen up. Since you've come to this place, your most important mission is to excavate the ancient ruins here. No matter what method you use, you must find a ruin that has not been excavated. In this canyon, you can choose to excavate at any time."
Zhao Hai's words made it sound like everyone's goal was very simple, but at this time, no one was naive enough to think that things were that simple.
"But …"
Zhao suddenly smiled, a cold smile. "You have three days! You have to excavate a new historical site in three days, then you will have the right to live! "
Everyone's expression turned cold, and they were all dumbstruck.
Excavating a new historical site in three days? What kind of joke was this?
All the cultivators noticed that there were already countless huge pits in the canyon, and many of them were empty.
In the entire canyon, Chu Chen had only excavated eleven ancient buildings, which was not a lot.
So many cultivators had been digging for so long, and only eleven ancient ruins had been excavated.
But now Zhao Hai wanted them to excavate one in three days. This was simply an impossible task.
Not only were the cultivators stunned, but the cold white-clothed girl behind Zhao Hai was also startled. She gently tugged at his clothes and whispered.
"Senior Brother Zhao, the time limit we gave you is fifteen days, not three days."
"I said three days, and it's only three days!"
Zhao Hai's face was cold as he looked back at the girl.
The white-clothed girl's figure trembled slightly. She didn't dare to speak again and lowered her head.
At this time, everyone suddenly understood what was going on.
This Zhao Hai … was definitely a bastard.
Just because he was unhappy, he directly shortened the fifteen day time limit to three days. He simply didn't intend to let this group of coolies live.
"After three days, if you don't excavate an ancient site, then your task will be considered a failure … At that time, no matter how strong you are, there will be no value in living."
As Zhao Hai spoke, he meaningfully looked at Chu Chen in the crowd.
At this time, all the cultivators understood why fifteen days had become three days!
Zhao Hai coldly turned around and directly left.
Among the remaining white-clothed cultivators, the white-clothed girl who had warned Zhao Hai faintly sighed and looked at the crowd apologetically.
"You … You can rest for two hours first. I'll get someone to bring you food and water later."
The white-clothed girl obviously sympathized with this group of unlucky people. "These ancient ruins are very difficult to excavate, so you must pay attention to conserving your strength. When you start digging, I will have someone remove the crystal shackles for you. "
After exhorting a few words, the white-clothed girl left with the group of cold-faced supervisors from the Nine Heavens Formation Breaking Team.
The cultivators were thrown into the desolate black soil. Chu Chen was preparing to find a bluestone to sit cross-legged on and adjust his breathing.
A tall and thin middle-aged cultivator came in front of Chu Chen and coldly looked at him. A sharp and harsh angry voice blurted out.
"You are a sinner who overestimates yourself. You actually angered the Lord Supervisor for no reason! Originally, there was a fifteen day time limit, but now there are only three days left … Everyone will be unlucky. It's all because of you! "
"Yes, this kid's wooden face and arrogant appearance. Anyone who sees him would think he was disrespectful and angered the Lord Supervisor. It's all his fault for being too arrogant."
"Alas, you should take responsibility for your own actions. You implicated all of us. What should we do?"
"Why don't you go and confess to the Lord Supervisor and let him restore our fifteen days …"
Several flustered and exasperated cultivators surrounded Chu Chen and criticized him. Their spittle flew everywhere. If not for the crystal shackles, they would have already attacked Chu Chen.
Chu Chen coldly looked at them. He didn't explain, nor did he say anything.
"Do you have any brains?"
Seeing several cultivators attacking Chu Chen, while Chu Chen silently looked at everyone, the red-clothed woman couldn't suppress her anger and coldly snorted.
She separated the crowd and directly pulled Chu Chen out of the encirclement of several cultivators. Because of her imposing manner, those cultivators didn't dare to move against her for a while.
"You idiots, listen carefully. This matter has nothing to do with him."
