Something happened at the Moon Lake.
The huge silvery white figure opened its bloody mouth and swallowed the martial artists.
"Run!"
Horrified roars resounded as the martial artists desperately rushed up.
The mid-stage Celestial Spirit martial artist summoned his star power and forced back the Moon Water around him, but the huge claws came down.
The star power surged and the mid-stage Celestial Spirit martial artist tumbled in the lake. His blood dyed the Moon Lake red.
Without hesitation, the mid-stage Celestial Spirit martial artist steadied himself and rushed to the cold lake.
Boom!
The lake water rushed up and the Moon Water rolled back. The claws appeared again and enveloped the mid-stage Celestial Spirit martial artist.
With the threat of death, the mid-stage Celestial Spirit martial artist was scared out of his wits. He regretted not listening to the black-clothed man's advice.
The other martial artists were also regretful. Some of the martial artists who had been swallowed didn't even have the chance to regret.
Boom!
The lake water was turbulent again. Moonlight sprinkled down and a sword aura split the lake water. It came to the Moon Lake and instantly slashed the claws.
Boom!
The terrifying air wave spread and the Celestial Spirit martial artist was directly sent flying by this force.
The other martial artists were slightly weaker and blood spurted out. Two lucky ones were directly sent flying to the surface of the cold lake.
"Who is it?"
The mid-stage Celestial Spirit martial artist's body stopped rolling and was picked up by a black-clothed man.
"I told you not to come. Go."
The black-clothed man threw him into the cold lake. The Moon Power in his body came out and turned into thousands of sword auras, slashing at the Star Demon.
Rumble!
The sword auras fell and the Moon Water surged. The Star Demon was directly blasted into the bottom of the lake.
"Run!"
The martial artists in the lake took this opportunity to escape the Moon Lake.
Puchi!
A few huge silvery white figures rushed out of the lake and swallowed the martial artists who fell behind.
The black-clothed man waved his sword and the Yue Guiye swayed. The hazy moonlight sprinkled and the sword aura sprinkled. He retreated.
"Save, save me …"
"Don't go, save me …"
The martial artists in the lake struggled violently, their eyes full of hope, hoping that the black-clothed man would help.
However, before they could finish their words, the ferocious mouth had already swallowed them whole.
"I can't save you, mid-stage Celestial Spirit."
The man in black sighed and rushed up to the cold pond.
The Star Demon that appeared just now were all mid-stage Star Spirits!
Moreover, the distance was too far, and he wouldn't be able to save them in time.
Since he couldn't save them, he wouldn't throw his life away. He could be a good person, but he couldn't die for a stranger.
Although he was confident in his strength, he wasn't so confident that he could instantly kill this group of Star Demon in the Lunar Lake without triggering the Sword Qi.
The Silver Star Demon swallowed the martial artist and rushed into the cold pond.
The black-robed man's sword light turned, and thousands of moonlight splashed out, turning into Sword Qi and sealing off the cold pond.
Rumble!
Astral power burst out from below and violent airwaves rushed out. The men in black took advantage of the situation and caught up with the escaping martial artists. Astral power enveloped them and they moved forward quickly.
Puchi!
Rushing out of the pool, the man in black directly threw them to the ground.
"Thank, thank you for saving me. I am Xu Xinghe from the Xu family. May I know your name? I will definitely repay you in the future."
The mid-stage Star Spirit martial artist stood up and bowed.
"Thank you, benefactor, for saving us. What we said before was because we were ignorant. Please don't take it to heart."
The four martial artists stood up and were very polite.
The man in black looked at them and said indifferently, "It's a deal. I saved your lives. Give me the Star Stones, and I will forget about the favor."
Only the five of them were left in the group. He could only save the five of them.
"Benefactor, what are you saying? Star Stones are just worldly possessions."
Xu Xinghe took out the Star Stones and handed them over. "I didn't bring much. I only have three hundred Upper Grade Fifth Stones. Please accept them."
"We only have a hundred Middle Grade Fifth Stones each. Benefactor, please tell us your name and location. I will send them over later," one of the martial artists said.
"No need." Jiang Changkong took the Star Stones and said indifferently.
"Benefactor, please tell us. We will definitely repay you in the future," Xu Xinghe said hurriedly.
"Jiang Changyue."
The man in black threw down the name. Moonlight shone under his feet and he disappeared.
"Jiang Changyue?" Xu Xinghe murmured. His eyes widened and he exclaimed, "It's him?"
"Who is it? Brother Xu, do you know him? "the four martial artists asked hurriedly.
"I don't know him. I've only heard that Yun Tianshan died in his hands with one move. He and Jiang Changkong are very close."
Xu Xinghe said in a low voice.
He only knew a little about this matter. He didn't know much about it.
The four martial artists' expressions changed. "Jiang Changkong? The Jiang Changkong that the Lin, Yun, and Jin families are looking for? "
"Yes. Let's go back now. It's not safe here. It will be troublesome if the Star Demon rushes out."
Xu Xinghe nodded. He looked at the cold pond in fear and quickly led them away.
After the group left, the man in black walked out from the weeds.
"I've obtained more than 700 fifth-grade Star Stones. This business was not done in vain. It's a pity for those who died."
Jiang Changkong shook his head. If each of those dead martial artists had more than 100 Star Stones, it would be a great loss.
It was a pity that he couldn't save them.
As for the debt of gratitude they mentioned, he didn't care about it at all. He only wanted the Star Stones.
He couldn't dig out the Lunar Frost Stones anymore. He should go to the research institute first to deal with the Lunar Frost Stones and the Star Demon that he killed recently.
He suddenly realized that the arrival of this group of people wasn't a bad thing.
The amount of Star Stones they had on them was much more than the Killing Star Demons.
It was a pity that he couldn't bring himself to rob people for no reason.
Jiang Changkong took off his black robe and arrived at the stronghold of the research institute in the dark of the night.
The stronghold was already under construction. It was no longer a stone house. Instead, it was a house made of unknown alloy.
"It's being built so fast?"
Jiang Changkong looked at the semi-circular house. It looked like an upside-down bowl.
"This is only a temporary residence. The real stronghold hasn't been built yet."
A passage appeared in the semi-circular bowl. Tang Ruoxi walked out from it.
Jiang Changkong looked inside. The house was brightly lit. Voices and laughter could be heard coming from inside.
"Are there people inside?" Jiang Changkong asked.
"President An, Ji Young-sung, and the others are all here," Tang Ruoxi said.
"No one from the Tong Clan and the Li Clan are here?" Jiang Changkong asked.
"Not at the moment. I heard that the major forces of the Tranquil Province are making a ruckus, saying that the mine belongs to the Tranquil Province. They probably won't be able to come for the next two days. Now that the research institute has withdrawn from the competition, they want to ask for help from the research institute. "
Tang Ruoxi explained.
"Then they are destined to be disappointed. Professor Yun won't help anyone," Jiang Changkong said indifferently.
Tang Ruoxi nodded. "You are right. No matter what, Professor Yun is from Ping An City. He will help his own people."
As the leader of the research institute, Professor Yun didn't need a backer. The Federation was her backer.
Moreover, even if the Tong Clan and the Li Clan got the mine, they wouldn't be able to move their forces here in the future.
If the two clans took the benefits and left, Professor Yun's research institute wouldn't be popular anymore.
"Changkong is here. Have you thought about it? Do you want to help me?"
Ji Young-sung said with a smile.
"Changkong, we are brothers. Help me," Li Changtian said. He and Ji Young-sung were now competitors.
"I either don't fight for it, or I will only fight for myself," Jiang Changkong said indifferently. His voice was firm as he rejected their invitation.
