"That overseer is clearly deliberately making things difficult for everyone. That Ling Xi kid was found in the crowd without saying a word. Do you think that if Ling Xi kid wasn't found as a scapegoat, he wouldn't find someone else?"
The red-robed young woman looked at the crowd and sneered. "He used his whip to kill. It doesn't matter who he kills. Use your brains and think about it. If this whip hit you, you may not be as lucky as Ling Xi kid."
The cultivators' eyes flickered.
"So, he killed as he pleased and changed the rules as he pleased. It's not the responsibility of any one of us. Besides, how will blaming Ling Xi help us find the ruins? At a time like this, it's better for everyone to unite and think about how to work together to get through this! "
The red-robed young woman's words stunned the cultivators who were holding onto Chu Chen.
"Everyone, stop arguing. Strictly speaking, whether it's three days or fifteen days, there's essentially no difference."
The green-robed old man in the crowd who had been silent all this time suddenly spoke with a bitter smile.
"I'm actually considered an old man in this ancient immortal crystal mountain. Previously, when I excavated the crystal veins in the deep crevices of the mountain in the west, I heard some news about this canyon. In fact, most of the ancient ruins in this canyon that are easy to excavate have already been excavated."
The green-robed old man looked helpless.
"The remaining ruins are buried deep. Let alone fifteen days, even if you give us a month, it's unlikely that we'll be able to successfully excavate them!"
The old cultivator's words made everyone feel as if they had fallen into an endless dark hell.
Only the red-robed young woman's cold smile still hung on her face. "This is reality. That pervert has to vent his anger. It's just that this time, it's because of Ling Xi kid. Now that things have come to this, we should all face the difficulties together and find a way to survive.
The cultivators fell silent when they heard this. At this point, it was a little meaningless for them to continue pestering that little cultivator Ling Xi.
But find a way to survive?
Where was there a way to survive …
A timid voice sounded from the crowd, breaking the silence.
"If that's the case, then aren't we all doomed?"
The one who spoke was a young female cultivator dressed in light blue clothes. She looked to be seventeen or eighteen years old and had beautiful features.
Everyone looked at each other. How were they supposed to answer this question?
A short young man in white secretly glanced around and said in a low voice, "Why don't we think of a way to escape?"
When the cultivators heard the word 'run', they couldn't help but feel nervous.
"Didn't you say that someone would unlock our crystal shackles? As long as we are not suppressed by the crystal shackles, we may be able to escape if we work together! "
The white-clothed youth gritted his teeth and said.
"You can't escape."
The green-robed old man sighed with a bitter smile.
"You have no idea how terrifying the strength of the Nine Heavens Formation Breaking Group is. They have a firm control over this Ancient Immortal Crystal Mountain. Their supernatural powers and methods can be said to cover the sky and imprison the earth. No one has ever successfully escaped from this place."
Speaking of this, the green-robed old man's face revealed a look of lingering fear. "And once you are captured and fall into the hands of those disciples who interrogate you, it will be a hundred times worse than what you can imagine!"
"It's not just the Nine Heavens Formation Breaking Team. This fog isn't any easier to deal with than the Nine Heavens. Do you think you can make it out alive with your strength?"
The red-clothed young woman also looked coldly at the crowd.
Everyone fell silent. The Nine Heavens Formation Breaking Group was one of the top superpowers in the Lesser Immortal Realm. They were strong enough to rival the Vanquishing the Immortals. Their strength was truly beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
In particular, their bigotry toward so-called justice had reached the point of Qi Deviation.
They couldn't be provoked.
In the face of such a bleak situation, the crowd could only look at each other and fall into silence.
Not long after, the cold-faced young woman in white from the Nine Heavens Formation Breaking Group walked over with a food box.
She placed the huge food box on a flat bluestone, and then slowly lifted the lid of the black food box, revealing the food for everyone.
When she opened it, everyone's expression stiffened.
The food the young woman had brought was all coarse grains like steamed buns, flatbread, cornbread, and bean cakes. There was no meat or vegetables at all.
The cultivators' expressions turned ugly. As cultivators, which one of them wasn't high and mighty? Especially in the Lesser Immortal Realm, those who could survive until now were all extraordinary in strength and status.
The food this young woman had brought was so coarse that even the commoners of the secular world wouldn't be willing to eat it.
It was practically food that was only used to feed pigs and dogs in the secular world.
The status of these cultivators had been mercilessly slapped in the face by food once again!
Everyone stiffened on the spot. They watched as the young woman laid out the food box, but no one took a step forward to take it.
The young woman looked coldly at the crowd, a trace of pity flashing across her eyes. "This is all the food here. I advise everyone, no matter what, it's more important to conserve your strength. Digging the black soil here is very exhausting."
With that, the young woman coldly turned and left.
The food box remained on the bluestone, and no one touched it.
Actually, at their cultivation level, it was fine even if they didn't eat or drink for more than ten days.
Digging the black soil was exhausting, so let's wait until they were exhausted.
After another hour or so, the white-clothed girl returned.
Seeing that the food in the box hadn't changed at all, she shook her head and sighed inwardly. Then, she coldly waved her hand.
At this time, a few white-robed disciples of the Nine Heavens Formation Breaking Team walked over with jade talismans in their hands. They walked towards the crowd.
One by one, they walked towards the crowd and placed the jade talismans in their hands on the crystal shackles on the cultivators' wrists. As they poured their spiritual power into the jade talismans, they touched the shackles on the cultivators' wrists.
With a series of cracking sounds, the shackles on the cultivators' wrists split down the middle, turning into balls of crystal-like light that floated in the air.
The cultivators immediately felt their bodies lighten, and waves of spiritual power surged up, making them want to roar towards the sky.
Then, the white-clothed disciples holding the jade talismans walked towards the others, and the shackles on the cultivators' wrists were released one by one.
Chu Chen was the last. After the shackles were released, he slowly rubbed his reddened wrists.
"Everyone, listen well. In the next three days, it's best that you don't rest. You must constantly search for and excavate the ancient stone hall. Only by excavating the ancient ruins will you be able to survive. "
The white-clothed young woman earnestly said, "Once the three days are up, no one will be able to help you if you can't find the ruins."
Everyone couldn't help but feel a chill run down their spines.
"What you must pay attention to is that during the excavation process, there will be disciples monitoring your every word and action. Before you find the ruins, no one is allowed to come within one thousand five hundred meters of the other teams. You are also not allowed to have any interactions with the other teams."
With that, the white-clothed young woman turned around and left.
The white-clothed disciples that were releasing the crystal shackles took out hoes from their storage spaces and distributed them to everyone.
