"Huh?! How could a small School of Five Virtues develop so rapidly? "Shangguan Ying couldn't help but be surprised. She seemed to have finally gathered a little spirit.
"This is not a problem. The biggest problem is that the old guy Lao Changyan actually colluded with the Five Elements Sect secretly. He intends to push our Golden Scale Sect out of the ranks of the three major gangs!" Zuo Fengyang's expression suddenly changed. "His Excellency didn't believe it at first. After all, our Golden Scale Sect is a deep-rooted old gang in Tongzhou. Even if Lao Changyan colludes with the Five Elements Sect, if he wants to deal with us, he will have to pay a very painful price. However, at this time, the old guy Sun Peng in Jizhou has gathered troops and is rushing toward our Tongzhou. If it really starts, the base of our Golden Scale Sect will become the main battle between Tongzhou and Jizhou. His Excellency has already sent most of the sect's troops to the border. Now, we can't afford this kind of trouble! "
"If Lao Changyan wants to dominate Tongzhou, he must first eradicate the six major gangs in Tongzhou. Don't forget that our six major gangs have already formed an alliance. If Lao Changyan dares to attack our Golden Scale Sect, it means that there is a civil war in Tongzhou. I think the other five gangs will definitely help. After all, they still understand the principle that the lips are gone and the teeth are cold. Although Lao Changyan controls Tongzhou, thousands of miles of fertile land in Tongzhou are in the hands of our six major gangs. If our Golden Scale Sect is really destroyed by Lao Changyan, will the other five gangs have a good end? " Shangguan Ying's face changed greatly, and her beautiful face suddenly showed a miserable coldness. No wonder Zuo Fengyang dared to come all the way to Giant-Rock Ridge with two strong men of the Jinshen stage. It turned out that such a change had happened in Tongzhou during her absence for half a year.
"Sister Ying 'er, although what you said is very reasonable, I'm afraid that Lao Changyan has already made a promise to the other five gangs to divide the territory of our Golden Scale Sect!"
"How is this possible?" Shangguan Ying's expression changed greatly. Although she said it was impossible, she knew very well that although the six gangs had formed an alliance on the surface, they were secretly scheming against each other. "Zuo Fengyang, you have to answer honestly. Where did you get this information?"
"Half of it is true, and the other half is Lord Cult Master's deduction. After all, this is no small matter. Our Golden Scale Sect must make the corresponding preparations. If Lao Changyan is determined to make a move, we will be completely in a state of being beaten. Boulder Ridge is the economic command of our Golden Scale Sect. Naturally, we can't lose it. Lord Hierarch ordered me to come and specially sent two True God Stage almighties to help you. "
"What about you?"
"I'll go to the Tongzhou Main Cult first to assist the Hierarch in dealing with the internal affairs of the cult. I'll try to stop things from getting worse. Even if it starts, we'll have a plan. After all, Master is about to come out of seclusion. With him in charge, Lao Changyan won't dare to act recklessly."
"Well, it seems that this is the only way. Zuo Fengyang, remember, you must persuade my brother. Don't start a war unless absolutely necessary. Although the strength of our Golden Scale Sect is strong, we are scattered all over Tongzhou. If we really start a war, I'm afraid the headquarters will really move my Giantstone Ridge." Although Shangguan Ying's words were soft, there was a hint of ruthlessness in her tone.
Zuo Fengyang nodded and asked again, "Sister Ying 'er, have you successfully formed your own suicide squad?"
"It's basically formed. All of them are masters of the Divine Stage. There are a total of 1,000 people, divided into 10 teams. Each team is led by a master of the Golden Deities Stage. However, these guys are all arrogant and unruly. Now they are grinding away their arrogance in the mine. If I give them the promise of freedom, these guys will definitely fight to the death. "
"The last time you sent the news back to the Main Cult, you said that there were only 300 people. How did you gather 1,000 in such a short time?"
"Among the slaves I brought back this time, there are exactly 700 masters of the Divine Stage. They have already been included in the suicide squad."
"700?! Sister Ying 'er, where did you get such a batch of excellent slaves? "
"Haha, this is what I've gained in the past six months!" Shangguan Ying smiled proudly and waved to the female slave next to her, "Yixiang, report our biggest gain from the North Journey to Fengling to Hall Master Zuo."
"Yes, Holy Maiden." The female slave bowed to Shangguan Ying and turned to Zuo Fengyang, "We've gained a lot on this trip to the Fengling. We've gained 13 masters of the Late-stage of the Divine Stage and 137 masters of the Middle-stage. Tiege, Late-stage of the Divine Stage. This guy is extremely dangerous. If he goes crazy, he dares to fight with a master of the Golden Deities Stage. Duan Tie 'an, Late-stage of the Divine Stage. His strength is slightly inferior to Tiege, but he is a natural candidate for an assassin. Cheng Yuanlu, Late-stage of the Divine Stage. He is vicious and good at using poison. His strength is estimated to be the best among the Late-stage. Because he refused to be recruited by Lao Changyan, he has been living in exile in the Fengling all year round … "
The female slave seriously introduced the information of the 13 masters of the Late-stage and Middle-stage in detail.
Zuo Fengyang kept nodding. After listening to the female slave's introduction, she suddenly stood up and her eyes emitted a majestic aura, "Lao Changyan, if you want to play, we'll play with you to the end!"
…
"Get up! Get up! "
Just as Li Gan and the other two were sleeping soundly, Overseer Qiao's angry roar came from inside the house. The three of them hurriedly stood up respectfully.
"Good, good, you still have some of the qualities of us God Cultivators. However, I want to announce a few rules that you must follow. First, you are not allowed to casually absorb the essence fire spirit energy in the mine. Second, you are not allowed to secretly keep fire essence stones. Third, you are not allowed to cause trouble, and you are not allowed to talk back to me. If anyone violates any of these rules, hehe, then don't blame me for being ruthless. I guarantee that you will experience what it means to live a life worse than death. "
"Don't worry, Overseer Qiao, we are all honest people!" Li Gan put on a different smile and walked toward Overseer Qiao.
"Big Brother, come back!" Wu Yan pulled Li Gan back and bowed to Overseer Qiao. "Master Qiao, don't worry. The three of us are the most obedient."
"Mm! That's good! "Overseer Qiao nodded and glared fiercely at Li Gan.
Wu Yan reminded Li Gan in a low voice, "Big Brother, let's make a deal. Don't cause trouble. I'm not married yet, so I don't want to die so early."
"Am I the kind of person who likes to cause trouble?"
"Then why are you smiling like a thief? Do you want to cause trouble?"
"I just want to teach this fatty who doesn't know the difference between heaven and earth a lesson!"
"It's best if you behave …"
"You two, what are you mumbling about? Hurry up and get out here! "Overseer Qiao glared and raised the iron whip in his hand. He pointed at Li Gan and Wu Yan and roared.
"Coming!" Wu Yan pulled Li Gan and lowered his head to line up behind Tiege.
"Mm, that's more like it. Come with me!" Supervisor Qiao strode forward. Perhaps it was because his sturdy body was too heavy that the ground trembled from his movements.
Just as Li Gan and the other two left their room, the other overseers also took their slaves and walked in different directions. Li Gan could imagine that although they were going in different directions, the division of labor was definitely the same. That was to dig out the Fire Essence Stone buried deep underground, even if it meant risking their lives.
But thinking of his frail body, Li Gan could feel a sense of despair pressing down on his heart. This kind of heavy physical labor, he was afraid that his small body would not be able to withstand it. He was afraid that disaster would follow. How would he survive in the future?
After walking a few thousand meters underground, there was no road. From time to time, there would be deep fire pits. Next to the fire pits, there were groups of slaves working hard. The overseers patrolling back and forth waved the iron whips in their hands and stared at the slaves fiercely.
These overseers were all fat and strong. They were never stingy with the iron whips in their hands. Li Gan witnessed the scene of five overseers whipping the slave miners. Not to mention the slave miners' miserable screams, every time the iron whips hit, there would be the sound of bones breaking. After struggling for two hours, they kicked the dying slave into the fire pit. Before the slave died, he struggled in the fire pit for more than half an hour, which made the nearby slaves' scalps tingle.
The overseers were leisurely admiring their masterpieces. They used the example just now to warn their slaves to be obedient.
After walking three or four thousand meters underground, Overseer Qiao led Li Gan and the other two people to a huge fire pit and stopped. The hot air in the fire pit hit them in the face. Boiling flames came out of the fire pit from time to time and sprinkled on the ground like boiling water, splashing layers of continuous flames. The flames jumped directly to the feet of the three people.
Here, it was completely purgatory in the human world. Looking at it, the fire pits were tightly connected. Looking down, it was a bottomless fire. Even the slaves working here were pitifully few.
But everyone was full of strength and kept mining the Fire Essence Stone within the scope of their own work. Even so, the overseers still kept waving the iron whips in their hands and whipping their slaves.
"Okay, stop!" Overseer Qiao waved the iron whip in his hand and turned to the three people, saying, "The Holy Nun specially ordered that you are all masters of the God of Heaven stage. Your endurance is ten times stronger than those ordinary people. So, you are sent to work near the earth's core. Although there is a certain danger there, the working time is short and the food is good. It is the best job in our Boulder Ridge. "
"Good job?!" Li Gan was speechless.
"What? Is there something you are dissatisfied with? "Overseer Qiao's face suddenly trembled, showing the majesty of the overseer.
"No … No, Master Qiao, how dare we be dissatisfied? We will need you to take care of us in the future! "Wu Yan quickly stood in front of Li Gan.
"Damned old man, you should learn from this ugly woman. Go! Let's get to work! "Overseer Qiao smiled maliciously and waved the iron whip. The three people were so scared that their faces turned pale.
Li Gan took a deep breath and leaped over. When he looked back, the ground was abruptly set ablaze. Wanting to retreat was tantamount to a fool's dream, but wanting to escape under such harsh conditions was even more whimsical. Putting aside how they were going to escape from a depth of twenty thousand meters, the large number of supervisors and countless golden-armored guards in the mine would make it difficult for them to deal with. Moreover, the terrain here was really dangerous. If they were not careful, they would definitely fall into the endless underground fire.
