Upon hearing the sound of something breaking through the air, everyone immediately turned around.
A large group of people flew over in a grandiose manner.
There were more than 2000 people in this group and they were the troops stationed at Black Mountain Fort. The leader of the group was Zhu Ying, who was dressed in silver armor and looked majestic.
Beside Zhu Ying was Deputy Commander Wang, who was in charge of guarding the mine.
Shoosh shoosh shoosh!!
Zhu Ying brought more than 2000 soldiers and arrived at the scene in a breath's time.
Seeing that Ren Yun Du and the rest of the Shenwu Academy men were fine and that only a few people were missing, a strange light flashed across Zhu Ying's eyes.
"Everyone, where are the Blood Pupil Clan men?" Zhu Ying led his men to Ren Yun Du and asked in a loud voice.
"We forced them to retreat!" Ren Yun Du replied.
"They have already retreated? Are you all alright? "Zhu Ying's face was filled with shock as he asked in a deep voice.
"We are fine!" Ren Yun Du expressionlessly shook his head. However, his heart was extremely gloomy.
Black Mountain Fort was only a few hundred kilometers away from here. Even without a message, the experts at Black Mountain Fort should have sensed the situation here. Yet, they took so long to send reinforcements!
What did this mean?
It meant that Zhu Ying had purposely not come and allowed them to defend against the Blood Pupil Clan men.
Su Mo and the rest of the Shenwu Academy men were not fools. They were all unhappy with Zhu Ying. The battle had ended but Zhu Ying had come.
"That's good!"
Zhu Ying nodded his head and immediately ordered Deputy Commander Wang, "Deputy Commander Wang, immediately check the casualties and the mine's condition!"
"Yes!" The middle-aged general Deputy Commander Wang immediately received the order and immediately brought his men to check the mine.
Su Mo and the rest of the Shenwu Academy men waited quietly at the side.
After a while, Deputy Commander Wang returned with an ugly expression on his face.
"Deputy Commander Wang, what's wrong?" Zhu Ying frowned and asked when he saw Deputy Commander Wang's pale face.
"Deputy Commander, there were a total of 1030 guards in the mine. 900 of them have fallen and there are 95 left!" Deputy Commander Wang said.
"Mm, what else?" Zhu Ying nodded his head and continued to ask. The Black Armor Guards were all here and he could see how many were left. There was no need for him to report.
"The mine has collapsed. I went down to check and the Spiritual Stones are all gone!" Deputy Commander Wang said with a pale face.
"What?"
Zhu Ying's face darkened as he asked angrily, "What's going on?"
Without waiting for Deputy Commander Wang to reply, he looked at Ren Yun Du and said coldly, "Deputy Commander Ren, didn't you defeat the Blood Pupil Clan? Why is the mine gone? "
Zhu Ying was truly enraged. This mine was not to be underestimated. Although it was only a top-grade spirit stone mine, it produced a large amount of spirit stones.
Although the Spirit Stones they mined had to be handed over to the Sacred Dynasty's treasury, they would secretly deduct thirty percent of it. Every year, they would provide the Zhu family with a large sum of resources.
But now, the Spirit Stone Mine had disappeared. How could he not be angry?
Although new spirit stone veins would continue to form as long as the dragon vein existed, this required a process.
This process was a huge loss to the Zhu family.
"This …!" Faced with Zhu Ying's question, Ren Yun Du was at a loss for words. He was only concerned about leading his men to defend against the attacks of the Blood Pupil Clansmen and had no time to care about the mineral lode!
"Lieutenant General, the disappearance of the mine is just a small matter …!" Deputy Lieutenant Wang was about to continue his report, but he was interrupted halfway.
"What? The disappearance of the mine is just a small matter? "
When Zhu Ying heard Deputy Lieutenant Wang's words, he immediately interrupted him and shouted angrily, "Do you know the importance of the mine? Although it is not big, it can support many troops of the Sacred Dynasty!"
Uh!
Deputy Lieutenant Wang was stunned by Zhu Ying's shout. He was not saying that the disappearance of the mine was a small matter, but that there was a bigger issue.
"Investigate, find out what happened as soon as possible. Did the Blood Pupil Clansmen steal it?" Zhu Ying continued to shout angrily.
"Lieutenant General …!" Deputy Lieutenant Wang's face was bitter. He wanted to get angry but he did not dare to.
"Hurry up and go. What are you waiting for!" When Zhu Ying saw Deputy Lieutenant Wang's expression, he shouted angrily again.
Deputy Lieutenant Wang took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and said loudly, "Lieutenant General, the dragon vein is gone. It's completely gone!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire place fell silent and became completely silent.
Everyone widened their eyes and stared at Deputy Lieutenant Wang quietly.
The dragon vein was gone?
How could this be?
Everyone knew how precious the dragon vein was. As long as the dragon vein was here, the Spiritual Stone mine would never be depleted.
The Qi of the dragon vein would continuously form Spiritual Stones until the dragon vein woke up and left.
It could be said that a dragon vein was a money tree.
But now, the dragon vein had disappeared?
Could it be that the battle had disturbed the dragon vein? This was not possible!
This was because everyone knew that the dragon vein was usually hidden deep in the ground. It was at least a million miles underground. How could it have been disturbed?
Although their battle had caused a huge commotion, it should not have disturbed the dragon vein that was millions of miles underground!
"What did you say? Say it again? "Zhu Ying's face changed. He grabbed Deputy Lieutenant Wang's neck and shouted loudly.
"I said … the dragon vein is gone and there is no more Spiritual Qi coming out from the ground!" Deputy Lieutenant Wang said with a pale face.
"How could this be?" Zhu Ying was enraged and his face turned pale. The dragon vein was gone and the Spiritual Stone mine was completely destroyed. Their losses were unimaginable.
"Lieutenant General, I have personally checked and there is no more Spiritual Qi. This means that the dragon vein is gone!" Deputy Lieutenant Wang said with a trembling voice. He was afraid that Zhu Ying would vent his anger on him.
"Quick! Bring me to have a look! "Zhu Ying pushed Deputy Lieutenant Wang away and shouted.
Deputy Lieutenant Wang immediately brought Zhu Ying to the top of the mine and the two of them burrowed into the ground.
Everyone at the scene was silent.
Regardless of whether it was the Shenwu Academy disciples, the guards of the mine or the soldiers that Zhu Ying had brought with him, they were all stunned.
The dragon vein was gone and the mine was completely destroyed!
It was reasonable for Zhu Ying to be so angry.
Ren Yun Du's face darkened and he sighed inwardly. The dragon vein was gone. If General Zhu Long of the fort blamed him, he would be punished.
After all, Deputy Lieutenant Wang was not around and he was in charge of supervising the mine. If he did not supervise it well, General Zhu Long would definitely blame him!
Su Mo's face was calm as though the matter had nothing to do with him. He quietly healed his injuries.
Although the previous battle was not above the mineral vein, the powerful aftershock had completely collapsed the area where the mineral vein was located. The mountains were razed to the ground, and everything was in ruins.
He did not leave any traces behind. Who would have thought that he was the culprit!
Unless someone checked the space in his jade bracelet, but that was impossible!
