The Dark Mountain Iron Mine was about a million miles away from the Black Mountain Fort.
To Su Mo, this distance was not worth mentioning and he could reach it in a short while.
However, they were flying at a low altitude, so their speed was not fast. Firstly, the cultivation of the troops they were leading was not high, and there were even many martial artists in the Martial Royal Realm.
Secondly, they had to be careful in case they were ambushed by the Blood Pupil Clan.
After all, the Blood Pupil Clan were not fools. They would not sit there and wait for them to kill them.
"Captain Su, I see that you're only about 40 years old. You're really extraordinary to have such achievements today!"
Along the way, Huo Yi was rather talkative and chatted with Su Mo.
"This achievement is nothing compared to General Huo's!" Su Mo said with a smile.
"Leader Su, you are too humble. I am already 800 years old this year and I am only a Rank 5 Martial Honorable. If I do not have a great opportunity in this life, I am afraid it will be difficult for me to reach a high rank Martial Honorable!" Huo Yi shook his head.
His potential had been exhausted and he had been stuck at the Rank 5 Martial Honorable Realm for more than a hundred years. If he did not have a Great Opportunity in the future, the Rank 6 Martial Honorable Realm would be the end of his martial arts journey.
In the cultivation of martial arts, the period of time with the greatest potential and the fastest progress was before the age of a hundred.
Therefore, a hundred years old was a dividing line. The younger generation also referred to martial artists under a hundred years old.
A person who could become a Martial Saint at the age of 100 would have boundless talent and future potential.
"General Huo, don't be discouraged. 800 years is still considered young for a Martial Honoured Realm warrior. There is still a long way to go!" Su Mo laughed.
"Maybe!"
Huo Yi sighed and looked at Zhu Tong. "General Zhu, when we reach the Dark Mountain Xuan Iron Mine, are we going to do this?"
Zhu Tong was the one with the highest cultivation level and the strongest military force. Huo Yi had to seek Zhu Tong's opinion first.
"We can crush them with our strength and kill our way through!" Zhu Tong said without turning his head back. Along the way, he had been thinking about how to kill Su Mo.
Just now, he had wanted to make a move. After all, he was already 500,000 miles away from the Black Mountain Stronghold.
However, he still endured it. He couldn't bear the crime of killing a colleague for no reason.
Although he was a member of the Zhu family and was highly regarded by the Third Prince, the crime of killing a colleague was too severe. Even if he was not executed, he would be severely punished.
Of course, there was another way. That was to kill Su Mo and Huo Yi, as well as all the troops that they had brought with them.
In this way, the news would not spread out. He could easily make up a reason and no one would come to investigate.
However, it was almost impossible to kill all of Su Mo and Huo Yi's men. Although they had the advantage in numbers and were strong, it was impossible for them to do so. There would definitely be people who would escape.
That was why Zhu Tong had been restraining himself along the way.
Now, he already had a plan. When they reached the Dark Mountain Iron Mine and fought with the Blood Pupil Clan, he would strike and kill Su Mo in one blow.
At that time, even if the Second Princess and Ren Tianya of the Red Dragon Camp questioned him, he would have a reason to deal with them.
In the midst of a chaotic battle, a moment of carelessness had resulted in Su Mo being killed. This was perfectly normal and no one could say anything about it.
Zhu Long had purposely arranged for him and Su Mo to be together. He could not miss such a good opportunity.
"Kill our way over? Isn't that a bad idea? "Huo Yi frowned.
"General Huo, what is the situation at the Dark Mountain Iron Mine? Can you tell me about it? "Zhu Tong asked.
"The Dark Mountain Iron Mine is located deep under the Dark Mountain. It stretches for tens of thousands of miles. The entire mine is protected by a formation master of our dynasty. Outsiders are unable to destroy it, much less take it away. They can only mine it bit by bit!"
Huo Yi slowly opened his mouth and continued to explain, "There is only one entrance to the mine and it is at the foot of Dark Mountain!"
"That's good. We will not destroy the mine. Let's kill our way in!" Zhu Tong said in a deep voice.
"Alright!" Huo Yi nodded his head helplessly. Zhu Tong was strong and since he wanted to kill his way in, Huo Yi had nothing to say.
Su Mo listened quietly and did not interrupt. As long as the Blood Pupil Clan did not have a high-ranked Martial Honorable, it would be too easy.
"Look, Dark Mountain is right in front!"
Right at that moment, Huo Yi looked ahead and shouted.
Su Mo lifted his head and saw that there was a tall mountain a few thousand miles away.
The mountain was ink-black in color and completely barren. There was no vegetation growing on it. It was a barren mountain.
"Let's go, let's speed up!"
When Zhu Tong saw this, he immediately shouted loudly. Then, he took the lead and shot towards Dark Mountain like a bolt of lightning.
Once they reached Dark Mountain, they would have to fight with the Blood Pupil Clan. It was time for him to kill Su Mo. As such, Zhu Tong could not wait to cause trouble.
…
About two hundred thousand miles away from Dark Mountain, there was a small town. This town was called Qiu Ta Town and it was located in the middle of a hill.
The town had a radius of a few dozen miles and there were about a hundred thousand people in the town.
However, at that moment, almost all the buildings in the town had collapsed. Corpses littered the ground and blood flowed like a river.
Countless mutilated corpses, accompanied by scarlet blood, dyed the endless ruins red.
Blood Qi and a shocking deathly aura lingered in the sky above the town for a long time.
In front of the ruins of the town, there were more than three thousand soldiers in full armor. They stared at the destroyed town and were speechless for a long time.
"I didn't expect Qiu Ta Town to be completely destroyed and the Blood Pupil Clan has retreated. We have wasted our time!" A Red Dragon Camp general wearing red armor said.
These three thousand soldiers were Jin Lu and the others who had come to Qiu Ta Town.
Jin Lu looked at the scene in front of him and frowned. The Blood Pupil Clan was ruthless to actually destroy the entire Qiu Ta Town.
Thus, their mission ended without a hitch.

Right at that moment, the messaging charm on the waist of a general of the guards started to vibrate and he immediately checked it.
After checking it, the general sighed and said, "General Zhu Long has sent news that the troops of the Blood Pupil Clan had left before we arrived!"
Everyone frowned. It seemed that their whereabouts were completely known by the Blood Pupil Clan.
"Since the Blood Pupil Clan has left, let's go back!" The general of the Red Dragon Camp said.
When Jin Lu heard this, his eyes flashed and he said, "All of you go back first. I will bring some men to check around and see if there are any traces of the Blood Pupil Clan!"
"Alright!" The general of the guards and the general of the Red Dragon Camp did not think much of it.
With that, Jin Lu chose two experts and the rest of them returned to Black Mountain Fort with the rest of the troops.
The two experts that Jin Lu had chosen were Rank 5 Martial Honorables and they were his trusted aides.
Jin Lu was a Rank 6 Martial Honorable and he was confident that he could defeat Su Mo. However, in order to prevent Su Mo from escaping, he had to bring two helpers.
Without further delay, Jin Lu brought the two of them and headed straight for the Dark Mountain Iron Mine.
He did not return to Black Mountain Fort because he wanted to kill Su Mo. According to the time and distance, Su Mo should have arrived at Dark Mountain.
He wanted to kill Su Mo at Dark Mountain before Su Mo returned.
