Qin Di looked at the people behind him and thought, "If there is only one mine, I will let these people go. But there are still three mines behind. If there is trouble here, I can't save people in the back. Although I can barely fight with Qiu Sihai, it will be troublesome. I am a Jindan Stage Daoist Master, and it will be too difficult for me to fight with an Early-stage Void Step! In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, I will simply save these people! One sheep or a flock of sheep, I will just treat it as a good deed. "
So, he patted the gate of the grotto-heaven again and said loudly, "Everyone, listen up! If you want to live, come here! I will think of a way to bring you to a safe place! I will give you the time it takes to drink a cup of tea. If it expires, I will not wait! "
Some people just watched from the side, not daring to move. Because if they couldn't escape, it was better not to escape. If they didn't escape, they could live a peaceful life. If they escaped and were caught, they would lose their lives.
Qin Di looked at the crowd and said indifferently, "Since I can come here quietly, I have a way to get out. If you don't believe me, then forget it! "
In the mine, many people had suffered enough torture. As long as there was a chance to escape, they would never let it go. So, without saying anything, they walked into the grotto-heaven.
Someone said as he walked in, "If my power hadn't been sealed, I would have gone out by myself. Now there is no other way, we can only rely on little brother! You have to get out of here! If you are caught, it will be a trap for us! Hey, I say, can you break out or not? "
Qin Di shouted in a low voice, "Don't talk nonsense, if you don't want to go, you can stay."
That person hesitated and was pushed to the side by others.
After about the time it took to drink a cup of tea, 60 to 70 percent of the people entered the grotto-heaven. The remaining 30 to 40 percent either didn't believe him or were still deep in the tunnel.
Qin Di didn't care so much. Anyway, it was enough to save the people of Jindan Sect.
As for the rest, to be honest, he had no obligation to save them.
The cultivation world was cruel. Big fish eat small fish, small fish eat shrimps. Today you catch people, tomorrow you will be caught. Life and death are all about fate. Qin Di had already given them a chance. Now that the opportunity was right in front of them, they couldn't blame others if they couldn't seize it.
Therefore, Qin Di kept the Heavenly Abode and turned to leave. He quickly arrived at the entrance of the cave and threw down a Rank 5 Confusion Array Disc, temporarily sealing the exit of the tunnel and delaying the people behind him from coming out.
Otherwise, these people would definitely attract the attention of Qiu Sihai and the group of Nascent Souls on Heavenly Spirit Island. That way, they wouldn't be able to rescue the people in the other three spirit stone mines.
A Grade 5 array disc was only at the mid-grade. For the Golden Cores in the tunnel, even if 90% of their powers were sealed, they would still be able to break through it as long as they put in a little more effort. As for how long it would take and whether they would be able to escape in the end, it would depend on their understanding of the formation and their personal skills. Of course, it would also depend on their luck.
After that, Qin Di went to another spirit stone mine and used the "Crow Caw in the Sunset" to capture a few Golden Cores who were in charge of guarding it.
At this time, he couldn't be bothered to go in to look for them. Instead, he called out people from the Heavenly Abode — the Golden Core Sect, the Celestial Artifact Sect, and the Great Evolution Sect. He called four or five people from each sect and had them enter the cave to search for the people from the main sect.
After about an hour, the people from the three sects arrived at the entrance of the tunnel and entered the Heavenly Abode according to the instructions.
After that, Qin Di threw down a Rank 5 array disc and sealed the exit of the tunnel.
Just like that, after half a day, all the people from the four spirit stone mines and three related sects were rescued, including the grandson of the Golden Core Sect Leader, Zhu Xuyan, who was also Gu Xingheng's husband, Zhu Tianpei. He was carried out on a stretcher and was almost tortured beyond recognition. His body was covered in wounds and one of his arms was broken, hanging limply by his side.
At this time, Qin Di suddenly realized that the array disc he had thrown down in front of him had been broken. Hundreds of people rushed out of the tunnel and flew in all directions.
However, in just a moment, several Nascent Soul cultivators flew over from the direction of Sky Spirit Island like lightning.
These people chased and fled while shouting and cursing.
"Motherf * cker, you've got guts to actually dare to escape!"
"Where are the people in charge of guarding it? Where did they go?! "
"Hurry up and capture all of them! Execute all the leaders and give the rest 300 lashes each! "
Qin Di didn't want to fight with these people. If he exposed his strength in public, he might leave behind some clues and be found at his doorstep. That wouldn't be good. Therefore, he put away the Heavenly Abode and released the Sky-reaching Vessel, flying out quickly.
The Sky-reaching Vessel sped toward the west and attracted the attention of the Nascent Soul cultivators. A series of shouts came from behind. Qin Di turned around and saw Perfected Lord Bu Xu catching up to him. However, the Sky-reaching Vessel was flying very fast. In just a moment, it had left him far behind.
Qin Di took a big turn and turned toward the south. He flew for 500,000 li in one go before stopping.
Then, he opened the door of the Heavenly Abode and let those people out.
Thousands of people walked out one after another. They looked up at the blue sky and white clouds and breathed in the air of freedom. Some of them sighed and some of them cried. Everyone bowed to Qin Di. "Thank you for saving our lives. May I know how I should address you, senior?"
Qin Di smiled and said, "I came down from the upper reaches of the Sky-reaching River. I was originally a disciple of the Golden Core Sect of the Great Snow Mountain's Misty Peak. I saved everyone by chance. As for my name, I won't say it. Everyone just needs to remember our relationship with the Golden Core Sect. "
Everyone expressed their gratitude one after another, then supported each other as they left. Some people thought along the way, 'Where is the Great Snow Mountain's Misty Peak? Why haven't I heard of it? '
Someone else said, "There are many things that you don't know! The Sky-reaching River is so long that even if a Nascent Soul flew over, it would take them 600 years to reach the spirit mountain! How many mountains do you think there will be along the way and how spectacular the scenery will be? "
Everyone gradually dispersed. Even the people from the Great Evolution Sect and Immortal Artifact Sect were chased away by Qin Di, leaving only the Golden Core Sect cultivators behind. There were more than 200 people in total. Among them, there were six Golden Cores and the rest were Foundation Establishment Cultivators.
Zhu Tianpei was also one of the six Golden Cores. He was tall and had a dignified appearance. Because he was the young sect master, he had a higher prestige and led a group of people to thank Qin Di.
"I heard from Perfected Wang that you're also an inner sect elder of the Golden Core Sect. I see that you're very young. May I take the liberty to call you junior brother? "
Qin Di nodded. "No problem. Senior Brother Zhu is older to begin with. You can just call me junior brother. "
"Junior brother, what's your surname?"
"My surname is Qin. My full name is Qin Qiong!"
Zhu Tianpei said, "Thank you, Qin Shidi. If not for your help, we would have died in the mine sooner or later."
Some of the Foundation Establishment Cultivators also expressed their gratitude. "Thank you, Uncle-Master Qin. We'll never forget your saving grace."
Qin Di saw that the group of people were all injured, so she used Spring Breeze Rain to heal their injuries and release the seal on their power.
Everyone was extremely grateful to Qin Di, but they were empty-handed and had no way to express their gratitude.
One of the Golden Cores suggested to write a letter to the spirit mountain headquarters and ask them to commend Qin Qiong of Great Snow Mountain's Ethereal Peak.
Qin Di was surprised. "The spirit mountain headquarters can receive such a letter?"
Zhu Tianpei nodded. "Sure, you just have to hand the letter to Tianbao Hall and pay a few supreme-grade Spirit Stones."
Qin Di's eyes lit up and he asked, "After the letter is sent, will there be anyone at the spirit mountain headquarters to take care of it?"
Zhu Tianpei smiled bitterly. "Maybe, maybe not. Who knows? Such a letter will take at least 60 years on the road. When the news comes back, it will take another 60 years. Just like more than 10 years ago, when our Golden Core Sect was annihilated, the news was reported and the letter might still be on the road. "
"So you've written similar letters in the past and received a reply, right?"
"That's right. I heard from my grandfather that a long time ago, almost every letter had a reply. However, in the past thousand years, it hasn't worked. We've sent five or six letters and never received a reply."
