"Spare, spare our lives, this old man and my two nephews have been blinded by lard. Young Hero, please be magnanimous and spare our lives." The bald old man begged with tears and snot.
"You wanted to kill me before, and now you want to beg for mercy. Don't you think it's a little too late?" Lu Xiaotian did not have the slightest pity. Instead, he tightened his grip on his sword.
"Uncle Tai Han, there's no need to beg him. Anyway, I've been living in this tunnel for more than ten years in total darkness, and I've been bullied by other miners all day long. For me, it's already worse than death. It's better to be free as soon as possible." The thin young man who had been kicked away by Lu Xiaotian at the beginning of the Qi Refining stage gritted his teeth in pain as he got up from the ground.
The other man was also very weak. He smiled sadly and said, "Even if he lets us go now, without enough Spirit Stones to give to Hu She, we can't escape death."
"Don't you give all the ores you dig to the mine supervisor of the Spirit Cloud Palace? Who is this Hu She?" Lu Xiaotian clearly remembered that the mine supervisor seemed to be a man named Chi Qing. Maybe he was the white-browed young man with an impatient bearing.
"Mine supervisor? That's the head outside. Hu She is one of the heads inside the mine. Ever since he was persecuted and fled to the mine to survive, his cultivation dropped to the middle stage of the Qi Refining stage. He was bullied by several heads inside the mine. They don't mine Spirit Stones themselves, but they rob us of the Spirit Stones that we painstakingly collected. With the mining every year, the Spirit Stones in the mine continue to decrease. If we want to mine more, we have to dig a new tunnel. The Spirit Stones we can collect are not many, and they take away a part of them. The food we can exchange for is pitifully little. We're just struggling at death's door. "The bald old man seemed to be infected by the two young men and said with a sad face.
"Persecuted? Who persecuted you?" Lu Xiaotian asked curiously when he saw that the three people did not seem to be pretending.
"It's useless even if I say it. That person is a Foundation Establishment expert. You might not even know him." The weak man shrugged with a smile and slowly sat down with his back against the wall of the cave.
Lu Xiaotian frowned. What the frail man said was true. There were more than ten Jin Dan cultivators in the entire Divine Cloud Palace, and seven to eight hundred Foundation Establishment cultivators. They were scattered in more than ten different areas. For example, in the Green Lotus Peak Region where he was, there were more than 60 cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Realm. Except for Qian Dali and the other four cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Realm when he signed up for the Divine Cloud Palace by chance, he had not seen any other cultivators in the Divine Cloud Palace for more than one and a half months.
"Brother Zhu, who cares so much about him? We escaped into the mine to escape Qian Dali's persecution. He had been hiding for ten years now, and it was impossible for him to leave. It was useless to keep this secret. Maybe one day, we won't be able to live on and we'll be buried with Qian Dali's secret. Wouldn't that be letting him off easy? "The youth spat out a mouthful of blood and said hatefully.
"Qian Dali from the Green Lotus Peak Region?" Lu Xiaotian asked with narrowed eyes.
"You know Qian Dali?" The bald old man and the other two cultivators were shocked at the same time. They looked at Lu Xiaotian warily, worried that he was a cultivator sent by Qian Dali to kill them.
"Of course I know him. I'm from the Green Lotus Peak Region. I have nothing to do with Qian Dali, but I'm very interested in his secret. " Lu Xiaotian smiled. It was really a coincidence. He had not expected to run into the Qi Refining cultivators who had been persecuted by Qian Dali when he hid in the mine because of Qian Dali. "Qian Dali, that old man, I'll figure out his secret first. When I'm strong enough in the future, I'll take revenge on him!"
"Unless you promise to let us go, I won't tell you this secret," the bald old man said, rolling his eyes.
"Do you think you still have the right to bargain?" Lu Xiaotian smiled and waved the Spiritual Sword in his hand towards the frail man's neck.
"Stop, stop, I'll talk, I'll talk." A trace of fear flashed across the bald old man's face. Although the youth in front of him was young, his decisiveness in killing was even greater than when he had first wandered the Cultivation World.
"Haha, Baldy Weng, you uncles and nephews haven't handed over the spirit stones for today. Are you going to take the initiative, or do you want me to do it? "
Just as the bald old man was about to speak, a middle-aged man with a fierce face and a scar on his face walked out of the deep mine tunnel with a laugh.
"Hu She!" The bald old man and his two nephews could not help but shrink their necks. It seemed that they had suffered a lot at the hands of Hu She.
Lu Xiaotian's pupils shrank. Hu She was a cultivator with the Great Completion of the Qi Refining realm. At the same time, he was followed by two cultivators in the late stage of the Qi Refining realm and five cultivators in the middle stage of the Qi Refining realm. They were full of energy and were obviously much stronger than the three dispirited bald old men.
If he had met this group of cultivators outside the mine, Lu Xiaotian would have turned around and fled without saying a word. However, most of the exiled cultivators in the mine had violated the rules of the Divine Cloud Palace or offended the Disbanded Cultivators of the Divine Cloud Palace. Their crimes were not punishable by death, so they were directly stripped of all their spirit weapons and thrown into the mine to mine. Except for a few Spiritual Pickaxes used for mining, they did not have any offensive or defensive spirit weapons. They only used magic to attack. They also did not have any healing elixirs. He was not that afraid.
"Oh, so there is a cultivator in the middle stage of the Qi Refining realm. Looking at your slightly dark skin and full of energy, you must have just entered the mine. Are you a disciple of the Divine Cloud Palace?" When Hu She saw the Spiritual Sword in Lu Xiaotian's hand, a hint of greed flashed in his eyes. However, before he could figure out the other party's background, Hu She still suppressed the killing intent in his heart and asked.
"Yes, I am a disciple of the Divine Cloud Palace. I just came in with some servants. I want these three people. You are not allowed to make trouble for them in the future."
As Lu Xiaotian spoke, he secretly took out a stack of talismans from the Bounded Domain and held it in his palm. Compared to the poor Disbanded Cultivators in Full Moon City, the talismans sold by the disciples of the Divine Cloud Palace were much better. Not only were the prices of the talismans more reasonable than in Full Moon City, but there were also many second-level and third-level talismans. However, fourth-level talismans were still very rare and could not be bought.
"Haha …" Hu She and the other cultivators held their bellies and laughed. It took them a long time to recover.
Hu She threatened him with a gloomy face, "Boy, just now I saw that you were a disciple of the Divine Cloud Palace. I was afraid of getting into trouble, so I gave you some face. You are just a little brat at the sixth level of the Qi Refining realm. You are really taking advantage of me. To tell you the truth, the previous disciple of the Divine Cloud Palace had a cultivation similar to yours. You were so arrogant, but in the end, you were still killed by me. If you know what's good for you, get out of here. Otherwise, next year today will be your death anniversary! "
After he finished speaking, Hu She took out a low-grade Spiritual Saber. Several cultivators behind Hu She also clenched the Spiritual Pickaxes and Spiritual Shovels in their hands. They looked ferocious.
"It seems that you are going to refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit."
Lu Xiaotian smiled coldly. He had heard that the environment in the mine was dangerous and that there were even some bullies who bullied the weak. He did not care about these things. However, in the future, if he wanted to be undisturbed in the mine, he would have to take out some ignorant people to show his power. Moreover, the people he took out must not be too weak so that others would know that he was not to be trifled with. The group of people in front of him were not weak.
