Chapter 43

The person who came was Huang Yue, followed by the other two Senior Brothers. When they saw the tragic state of the cave, they were momentarily stunned.

Huang Yue reacted first and asked, "Zhan Chen, can you tell me what happened?"

Zhan Chen pretended to be sad and said, "Eldest Senior Brother, Senior Brother Wang Jie and I received a message from the miners saying that a demonic beast had appeared in the tunnel. We rushed here and started a fierce battle with the beast.

"My cultivation was low and I couldn't help much. Instead, I encountered danger. Fortunately, Senior Brother Wang Jie risked his life to save me. However, because of me, Senior Brother Wang Jie was also killed by that evil beast!

"When I saw that Senior Brother Wang Jie was killed, I resisted and made a breakthrough at the critical moment. Only then did I reverse the situation and kill that bastard to avenge Senior Brother Wang!"

Huang Yue came to Wang Jie's body and carefully examined it. At this moment, his body had been bitten by the Sharp-toothed Badger until it was badly mutilated. There was nothing else that could be seen. No matter how many suspicious points there were, there was no way to verify them.

He could only turn his head and stare deeply at Zhan Chen, causing the latter's heart to beat rapidly. Could it be that he had discovered something? It was no wonder, the situation was too strange. Shang Manfu's death was also related to him, so it was inevitable that he would be suspicious.

After a good opportunity, Huang Yue said, "Junior Brother Zhan Chen, you don't have to be too sad. Junior Brother Wang Jie's contributions to the mine are obvious to all. I believe that the sect will compensate his family well to comfort his soul in heaven."

Zhan Chen immediately heaved a sigh of relief and nodded.

Just like that, Wang Jie's death was like a storm, passing in an instant. A few days later, the person who replaced Wang Jie also quickly arrived. The Yellow Rock Mine returned to its former peace.

Zhan Chen also continued to cultivate on duty as usual. Another month passed like this, and he finally completely stabilized his cultivation at the Intermediate Martial Master level. His Golden Bane Sword Technique had also improved tremendously. When he brandished his sword, the sword gleam he emitted had also increased from less than one meter to more than one meter. Even though the increase was not much, in a battle, this little distance might be enough to determine the outcome of the battle.

However, there was always a shadow lingering in his heart, and that was, apart from Hong Zhigang, who exactly was the third person?

Huang Yangang's territory was not peaceful, especially at night. All of the tunnels would stop to rest, and the main focus of the guards would be on the warehouse.

All the mined primordial stones were not put into Pei Yan Xue's pocket, but would be recorded in a special warehouse. Then, every once in a while, the sect would send people to collect these primordial stones. The supervision was done from top to bottom, and the sect paid particular attention to the details.

To a certain extent, this mechanism also gave the Yellow Gangland Sect an opportunity. They would send people to attack the Yellow Gangland Sect's warehouse almost every month, hoping to seize the primordial stones that the Golden Elephant Sect had painstakingly mined.

Of course, this kind of system gave the Yellow Gang Sect an opportunity. Almost every month, they would send people to attack the Yellow Rock Mine's warehouse, hoping to intercept the primordial stones that the Golden Elephant Sect had painstakingly mined. Of course, this kind of attack was carried out secretly on a small scale. If it was too brazen, then the two sects would lose face, and it might even cause a large scale war between sects.

However, even if it was a small scale attack, it was still accompanied by blades and blood. Every time, there would be casualties among the disciples of the two sects. However, both sides seemed to tacitly approve of this cruel competition and would not pursue it further.

That night, Zhan Chen was patrolling the mountains as usual. Suddenly, he saw a flare signal appear on the other side of the mountain.

On this night, Zhan Chen was patrolling the mountains as usual. Suddenly, he saw a flare signal on the other side of the mountain. This was an enemy attack! Quickly rushing back, he saw two figures at the top of the mountain. One of them was very familiar to him, it was Pei Yan Xue. The other was dressed in black, and his face was covered, so he could not see his face.

Pei Yan Xue laughed coldly, "Old man Yang Xin, you are also learning from the younger generation, hiding your face and covering your face. Don't you dare to show your face? Could it be that this is how your Huanggang Sect does things? "

"Hahaha, Pei Yan Xue, I will not fall for your trick. No matter what you say, I will not take off my mask. Today, we are both supporting characters. Let's rest. Our disciples are the main characters. "

"In your dreams!" Pei Yan Xue saw a group of people barging in and heading straight for the warehouse where the primordial stones were stored. He could not help but panic and wanted to stop them.

However, he saw the figure in black flash and block in front of Pei Yan Xue. He laughed, "The one with the surname Pei, don't panic. Fight with me."

"Hmph! Today, I will make you lose a layer of skin! "As Pei Yan Xue spoke, he took out a long spear from his Qiankun bag and fought with Yang Xin.

For a moment, sand and stones flew, and huge rocks collapsed. The two figures flashed so quickly that it was impossible to see them with the naked eye. One could only hear the ear-piercing sound of weapons clashing and the explosion of vital energy.

When Zhan Chen saw this scene, he sighed in his heart, "Martial Venerable experts are really strong. I am afraid I can't even get close to them. I will go down and help my brothers first!"

Thinking of this, he quickly bypassed Pei Yan Xue and Yang Xin and rushed down the mountain.

The scene at the bottom of the mountain was also chaotic. The disciples of the Golden Elephant Sect were fighting with their opponents. It was obvious that the Yellow Gang Sect came prepared for this night attack. The scale of this attack was incomparable to the previous ones.

Zhan Chen stood at the top and watched. He actually did not know who to help. Suddenly, a cry came from the side, "Zhan Chen, save me quickly!"

Zhan Chen quickly looked in the direction of the voice and realized that a girl's sword technique was in a mess. She made a feint with her spear and abandoned the enemy, running in his direction.

Behind her, a masked man chased after her. As he chased, he shouted, "Beauty, why don't you play with me? Let's exchange a few more moves."

"It's Yin Yanyan!" Zhan Chen immediately recognized her. This Yin Yanyan was quite pretty and had the cultivation of an Intermediate Martial Master. Normally, they had a good relationship and often tried to get close to him. It was a pity that Zhan Chen was focused on cultivation and did not develop a relationship with her.

Looking at the enemy who was chasing her, he only had the cultivation of an Intermediate Martial Master. Zhan Chen's eyes flashed, "I am not afraid of anyone at the same level as me!"

Thus, he took the initiative and stood between Yin Yanyan and that person. He said, "Yin Yanyan, you go first. Leave the opponent to me!"

"The opponent is very strong! Do you need my help? "Yin Yanyan seemed to be worried about Zhan Chen. She did not listen to Zhan Chen and ran away first.

When Zhan Chen saw this, he smiled and said, "Don't worry, it's a piece of cake. Leave it to me!"

Yin Yanyan nodded her head worriedly and said, "Then be careful!" Then she stayed on the side and watched the fight.

When the masked man saw that Zhan Chen still dared to act like a hero saving a damsel in distress in front of him, he couldn't help but become furious. He scolded, "Brat, you are too arrogant. If the two of you were to join forces, I would still be somewhat afraid of you. However, you actually dared to fight me alone. Be careful that I don't cripple you."

Zhan Chen smiled disdainfully and said, "Your skills with words are not bad, but how are your skills with your hands?"

"Brat, accept your death!" The masked man could no longer bear it. He raised his sword and slashed at Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen smiled coldly and used the Flowing Cloud Steps. With a light sway, he dodged the attack.

The masked man felt that he had been played. He became furious and shouted, "Watch this! Thick Earth Sword! " The tip of the sword changed, and each of his moves became steady and powerful. Although it looked clumsy and slow, it was often able to counterattack. It was both offensive and defensive. For a moment, all of Zhan Chen's attacks were blocked by the masked man.

A hint of praise flashed in Zhan Chen's eyes. He thought, "I didn't expect that although the earth attribute sword technique looks clumsy, it actually has its merits. If it was someone else of the same level, it would be hard to avoid losing. However, I am your nemesis!"

He had basically tested out the masked man's methods. Without any hesitation, he fiercely shouted, "Watch this! Golden Demon Sword Technique! "The sword in his hand fiercely stabbed towards the masked man's chest.

The masked man subconsciously wanted to use the sword in his hand to block the attack. However, suddenly, a platinum sword ray flashed on Zhan Chen's sword, and the masked man's sword was bounced off. Zhan Chen's sword didn't slow down at all and flew towards the masked man's heart at an unstoppable speed!

The masked man cried out in panic, "No!"

However, the sword in Zhan Chen's hand didn't stop. With a "pu" sound, it deeply sank into the masked man's chest. The masked man raised his head and looked at Zhan Chen in horror. It was as if he was regretting making an enemy out of him.

After killing the masked man with one strike, Zhan Chen's spirit immediately relaxed. However, right at this moment, he felt a deep chill behind his back, and it charged towards him!

"Daoist Eye!" Zhan Chen turned his head and subconsciously activated his supernatural power. However, what he saw was a scene that made him despair.

It was Yin Yanyan! She stabbed her sword towards his back. The tip of the sword was only three inches away from his back!

"What should I do? I can't avoid it! " Zhan Chen's heart began to beat violently. Once he closed the Daoist Eye, he was afraid that what he would see would be the moment the sharp sword sank into his back.

His gaze couldn't help but look at Yin Yanyan. At this moment, the corner of her mouth was hanging with a victorious smile, and her eyes were full of ridicule. It was as if she was mocking Zhan Chen for being toyed with by her. She was the third person!
