At this moment, in the central region of the Heavenly Star Continent, there was a luxurious palace. Above the palace sat a dignified figure, but his face was gloomy.
This person was Yeling Tianshou.
The hall was extremely oppressive. The other Heavenly Humans did not even dare to breathe loudly.
"Who can tell me what's going on? Why hasn't this month's Ice Fire Star Silver been collected?"
Yeling Tianshou's cold voice rang out in the hall. The others lowered their heads, not daring to speak.
In the Heavenly Star Continent, Yeling Tianshou was the local tyrant. Anyone who dared to offend him would end up in a miserable state.
"Where are Ye Lingyou, Ye Lingwuxin, and Ye Lingchu? I sent them to collect the Ice Fire Star Silver. Why isn't anyone here? Give me an answer! "
Yeling Tianshou's voice became heavier. He was clearly very unhappy.
"My lord, Ye Lingwuxin is in seclusion. The ones in charge of collecting the Ice Fire Star Silver this month are Ye Lingyou and Ye Lingchu."
At this moment, an elder bowed and said.
This person had a fifth-level Divine Master cultivation and was one of the strongest people under Yeling Tianshou.
"Then, where are the two of them? Why haven't they come to see me?"
Yeling Tianshou asked.
"Milord, we haven't seen Ye Lingyou and Ye Lingchu return during this period of time. Furthermore, no one has responded to our messages."
They didn't send any messages, "the elder reported.
"They haven't returned? No one replied to my messages? "
Yeling Tianshou frowned and pondered for a moment. "Go, call the people in charge of the thirty-six mines here. I have something to ask them!"
"Yes!"
The old man accepted the order respectfully. Then, he retreated and began to transmit his voice.
The others waited in the main hall.
This wait lasted for a few days. The people in charge of the other mines hurried over.
Not all of the people in charge of the thirty-six mines were first-level Divine Masters. In fact, only a few mines had Divine Masters overseeing them.
Even in the Heavenly Palace, there were not many Divine Masters. Among the hundreds of Heavenly Humans led by Yeling Tianshou, there were only twenty or so Divine Masters.
These people bowed respectfully when they saw Yeling Tianshou.
"Why is one person missing?"
Yeling Tianshou looked around and found that only thirty-five of the thirty-six people had come.
"Lord Tianshou, the person in charge of the Qishan Mine has not replied."
The old man at the fifth layer of the Divine Master Realm replied.
"No reply?"
A trace of gloominess flashed across Yeling Tianshou's eyes as he said, "Go, send someone to investigate!"
"Yes!"
The old man at the fifth level of the Divine Master Realm received the order and sent someone to the Qishan Mine.
The Qishan Mine was where Lu Ming had killed or captured all five Heavenly Humans who were guarding the mine. Naturally, no one would return.
"Have you handed in all your Ice Fire Star Silver for this month?"
Yeling Tianshou looked at the thirty-five people in charge below the hall.
"Lord Tianshou, I've already handed over all the Ice Fire Star Silver to Lord You!"
Said a first-layer Divine Master in charge.
"I've also handed mine over to Master Ye Lingchu!"
"Mine too. I also gave it to Lord Chu."
The other people in charge also replied one after another, either handing it over to Lord You or Lord Chu.
"Are you sure? If anyone dares to lie to me, you know what will happen to them, "Yeling Tianshou said coldly.
Yeling Tianshou said coldly. His long and narrow eyes were filled with killing intent.
The people in charge all paled. They were well aware of how vicious and merciless Yeling Tianshou was.
"Lord Tianshou, I can swear on my life origin that everything I said is true!"
"Me too! I also swear on my life origin that if I'm lying, I'll be at Lord Tianshou's mercy!"
The others also began to cry out in order to prove their innocence.
"Okay, I believe all of you. You're all dismissed!"
Yeling Tianshou waved his hand, and the thirty-five people in charge withdrew.
"Lord Tianshou, could it be that Ye Lingyou and Ye Lingchu wanted to stuff their pockets with the Ice Fire Star Silver and then leave?"
The old man at the fifth level of the Divine Master Realm said.
Ice Fire Star Silver was too precious, and anyone would covet it.
"Impossible. The two of them wouldn't dare betray me. Their lives are in my hands."
Yeling Tianshou said.
"That's true!"
The Divine Master Realm elder nodded.
Yeling Tianshou had mastered a terrifying poison art. His subordinates were all under his control, and no one dared to resist. As long as he used his poison art, those poisoned would suffer a fate worse than death.
Lu Ming's guess was correct. Yeling Tianshou had not reported the large amount of Ice Fire Star Silver to the upper echelons of the Heavenly Palace. He had wanted to keep it for himself.
He had dared to do so for two reasons.
One was that he had used his poison art to control all his subordinates. These people would not dare to betray him, nor would they dare to spread the news.
The other reason was that Yeling Tianshou's father was a powerful Celestial Sovereign of the Heavenly Palace. With such a powerful backer, even if something went wrong, he would have someone to back him up.
"It seems that someone else from the Stellarsky Continent has already infiltrated. The most likely possibility is that after Ye Lingyou and Ye Lingchu collected the Icy Fiery Star Silver, they were killed on their way back and the Icy Fiery Star Silver was stolen!"
Yeling Tianshou said.
He had never imagined that Lu Ming had impersonated Ye Lingyou and Ye Lingchu.
"Someone else? Could it be someone from the Heaven Destroyer? The various races of the universe probably don't have the guts. "
The elder of the fifth-level Divine Lord Realm grimaced.
"Hmph, no matter who it is, only death awaits those who dare oppose me. Later on, all of you third-level Divine Lords and above are to patrol the mines. If you find anyone suspicious, kill them on sight!
"Also, mobilize the people of the Yan Race and find anyone suspicious. As long as they're not from the Yan Race, report to me," Yeling Tianshou said.
"Yes."
"Yes!"
The elder of the fifth-level Divine Lord Realm and the others left with this order.
Not long after, Yeling Tianshou received news that the five Heavenly Human Race experts guarding the Qishan Mine had gone missing. This made him even more certain that someone else had infiltrated.
"You don't dare to act openly and only know how to hide in the shadows. It seems that your strength is limited. Hmph, as long as you're still on the Heavenly Star Continent, I'll find you!"
Yeling Tianshou coldly said.
The entire continent began to tremble.
The God had issued a divine decree that anyone who was not from the Yan Race was to report to him.
The village where the Ocean Sect was located naturally received the divine decree as well.
Unfortunately, Yeling Tianshou had not expected that Lu Ming was also from the Human Race.
The Yan Race was also from the Human Race, and it was impossible to tell them apart from their auras.
Thus, the people of the Ocean Sect's village believed that Lu Ming was also from the Yan Race and did not place him on their list of suspects.
It was no wonder that Yeling Tianshou had not expected this. In truth, the Human Race was not very strong in the Primitive Universe, and there were very few experts.
Although the Forbidden Sword Ancestor, Tang Feng, had appeared and was unparalleled, that was only an extremely rare example.
Thus, Yeling Tianshou had never imagined that the person who had entered the Heavenly Star Continent was also a human.
