The towering Dark Mountain towered between the heavens and the earth. The peak of the mountain was slightly damaged and it looked as though it was about to collapse. It was evident that it had been affected by the battle.
Zhu Tong, Huo Yi and Su Mo led the 3000 soldiers and flew across the sky, directly landing at the foot of Dark Mountain.
However, there was no one there. There was not a single Blood Pupil Clan member.
There were also no Blood Pupil Clansmen guarding the entrance of the mine at the foot of the mountain. It was obvious that the place was empty.
"Did the Blood Pupil Clan retreat?" Zhu Tong instantly frowned.
Su Mo and Huo Yi's faces darkened. The Blood Pupil Clan had retreated but the scouts did not find out?
Right at that moment, the messaging charm on Huo Yi's body started to vibrate. He checked it and instantly laughed bitterly.
"Sirs, before we arrived, the Blood Pupil Clan had already retreated!" Huo Yi said helplessly.
"They really retreated!" Zhu Tong's face darkened. This was not good news for him.
Firstly, although they had taken back the mine of Dark Mountain, the 2000 Blood Pupil Clansmen had escaped.
Secondly, the Blood Pupil Clan had retreated. That meant that they could not continue the battle and he could not attack Su Mo.
He could not possibly kill Su Mo in front of the 3,000 soldiers without a proper investigation!
Although he wanted to kill Su Mo, his hatred for Su Mo wasn't to the point that he would sacrifice everything.
Su Mo's face darkened. He felt that something was amiss. The Blood Pupil Clan did not retreat earlier or later. Why did they retreat just before they arrived?
Since the Blood Pupil Clan knew that they could not completely occupy this place, why did they not retreat earlier? Could it be that they only wanted to mine some Dark Iron?
"Let's enter the mine to take a look?" Huo Yi suggested.
Su Mo and Zhu Tong had no objections. With that, they left a small group of people to guard outside while the rest entered the cave through the entrance of the mine at the foot of Dark Mountain.
The cave was extremely spacious. First, there was a tunnel that led downwards. The tunnel was deep and it went down a kilometer before entering the Dark Iron mine.
In the mine, the surrounding walls were mostly black in colour. Among the grey-white rocks, there was an incomparably strong Dark Iron.
The Black Iron Mine was not destroyed, and everything was normal. This was because the mine was protected by a formation.
An invisible formation surrounded the entire mine. Even though anyone could enter through the entrance, they couldn't destroy it. They could only slowly mine it.
This Mysterious Iron Vein occupied a vast area. However, there wasn't much Mysterious Iron within the vein. Simply put, the proportion of Mysterious Iron within the entire vein was rather low.
For example, in an area with a radius of one mile, only one-tenth of the area contained Darksteel.
"The Blood Pupil Clan has indeed retreated. Let's go back!" After walking around the mineral vein, Huo Yi sighed.
"Alright, let's go back!" Su Mo immediately nodded. He would only be at ease if they returned to Black Mountain Fort.
For some reason, he had a bad premonition, as if a storm was coming, pressing down on his heart.
Zhu Tong did not make a sound, he wanted to attack but could not make up his mind.
Most importantly, Su Mo kept his distance from him and there were many people between them.
Soon, everyone walked out of the mine tunnel and returned to the foot of Wushan.
Immediately after, Huo Yi made some arrangements. He left 500 men to guard the mine and everyone prepared to return.
Right at that moment, a sharp piercing sound came from the sky.
Everyone looked up and saw three streaks of light, carrying with them a terrifying murderous aura, rushing towards them.
Seeing this, everyone's heart jumped. They thought that it was the Blood Pupil Clan. However, when they looked closely, they realized that it was not the Blood Pupil Clan.
The three people who were rushing towards them were from the Black Cloud Army. The one leading them was Jin Lu.
Seeing this, everyone heaved a sigh of relief. However, Su Mo and Zhu Tong's eyes flashed.
Su Mo's face darkened. Was Jin Lu here to kill him? He was simply courting death.
If Su Mo was slightly afraid of Zhu Tong, he was not afraid of Jin Lu at all. Swoosh!
Swoosh! Swoosh!
In an instant, Jin Lu and the other two landed in front of the crowd.
"Su Mo, you colluded with the Blood Pupil Clan …!"
Jin Lu's gaze instantly fell on Su Mo. His eyes were filled with murderous intent. He was prepared to charge Su Mo with colluding with the Blood Pupil Clan and then kill him.
In that case, even if the Second Princess and the rest blamed him, it would be easier for him to get away with it. He had already planned this before coming here.
However, before Jin Lu could finish his sentence, a huge force suddenly descended from the sky.
This force was vast and majestic, like a mountain descending, causing Jin Lu's words to instantly stop.
Immediately after, everyone saw that at the end of the horizon, in the sky, there was another figure rushing towards them.
This figure was an old man. He was very short, but the aura from his body was extremely vast, like a ten thousand mile long river.
The old man's aura shot up to the sky and his cold murderous intent filled the nine heavens and ten earths, causing the hundreds of thousands of miles to become cold to the bone.
"An expert from the Blood Pupil Clan!" Seeing this, everyone was instantly shocked. This was because this old man who was rushing towards them was a member of the Blood Pupil Clan.
The members of the Blood Pupil Clan were very different from ordinary people. Firstly, they were short, and secondly, their eyes were blood red.
At that moment, there was actually such a powerful expert from the Blood Pupil Clan. How could the crowd not be shocked?
"Die!"
Elder Xue Cheng stared at the crowd in front of him and his eyes instantly locked onto Su Mo. Instantly, blood rays shot out from his blood red eyes.
Holy Blood Force Sword!
The dazzling blood-red light instantly formed a huge blood-red sword that was hundreds of miles long, and its shocking sword power shook the Nine Heavens.
Boom boom boom!
The moment the Holy Blood Force Sword was formed, the space collapsed and the ground collapsed. Nothing within a ten thousand mile radius could withstand the power of the Holy Blood Force.
Boom!
The Divine Blood-Red Sword was like a huge blood-red lightning bolt. It pierced through the air and shot toward Su Mo and the others at high speed.
The strong aura of the large sword scared the crowd silly and they were unable to react in time.
Su Mo was also shocked by the power of the sword. This person was a Rank 9 Martial Honoured Realm warrior and was extremely powerful.
"Quick, attack together!"
As a Rank 8 Martial Honoured Realm genius, Zhu Tong was the first to react. His voice was like thunder exploding in everyone's ears.
In the face of such a strong attack, there was no way to avoid it. If they wanted to live, they could only defend against it. Otherwise, all of them would die under this attack.
Although the main purpose of this sword was to kill Su Mo, Su Mo was standing with the crowd. In the eyes of the others, the sword was naturally going to attack all of them.
Shoosh!
A long spear instantly appeared in Zhu Tong's hand. With a shake of the long spear, fire rays shot up to the sky and lit up the surroundings.
A fire snake that was dozens of miles long roared and charged at the blood-red divine sword like a raging dragon.
Although Zhu Tong's attack was obviously not as strong as the Holy Blood Force Sword, its power was still terrifying. The fire snake shot out with a terrifying aura.
"Attack!"
"Kill!"
"Attack together!"
Angry shouts continuously rang through the air. Everyone was shocked and they all attacked together to defend against the terrifying Holy Blood Force Sword.
Jin Lu couldn't be bothered to kill Su Mo anymore as he also attacked with a sword.
