Hei Mu claimed to be the Chief Steward of the Hei Clan, but he was just a lowly steward. Otherwise, he wouldn't be assigned to such a small task like kidnapping slave miners.
If there were Heavenly Dragon Realm God Bestow Warriors or Divine Dragon Realm experts among the foreign martial artists, Hei Mu wouldn't be able to receive them. Only the two Divine Dragon Realm experts of the Hei Clan or the City Lord of Riverside City could receive them.
Heavenly Dragon Realm God Bestow Warriors and Divine Dragon Realm experts were the best among the martial artists and had great potential to step into the Demigod Realm.
As long as a martial artist stepped into the Demigod Realm, it was equivalent to transforming from a flood dragon to a dragon. A Demigod Realm expert, even a first-stage Demigod Realm expert, would be regarded as an expert in the Central State and would be respected by thousands of people. It was entirely possible for them to become the Prefecture Master of a small prefecture.
There were more than one thousand and two hundred people, and fifty people were teleported at a time. That was a total of twenty-five times, and it cost two yellow-grade spirit stones to teleport each time. In total, it cost fifty yellow-grade spirit stones, which was a huge sum. At least, it was a huge sum for the new slave miners, including Xiao Chen.
The spirit stones needed for the teleportation were provided by the Riverside City. If it wasn't for the thought of making a fortune at the spirit vein, Xiao Chen would have ransacked the Riverside City. He estimated that he could have looted 200 to 300 spirit stones.
With a flash of white light, Xiao Chen and the others appeared in the teleportation array of another city. After walking out of the teleportation array, they gathered with the new slave miners in front of them and seemed to be extremely low-key.
In less than an hour, all the new slave miners and supervising martial artists had been teleported over and were ready to go. Hei Mu shouted arrogantly, "All of you, follow me.
"All of you, follow this lord. Move quickly! In addition, the new miners shouldn't try to escape. Those who have the thought of escaping had better extinguish it now. If I find out, I will let you know the most painful and cruel way to die. Do you understand? Hmm? "
"Yes, Lord Hei Mu."
The 800 new slave miners all replied respectfully. Seeing Hei Mu's expression change, they had a bad premonition. Many of them began to regret, but now that they had lost their freedom, it was useless to regret.
Xiao Chen maintained a cold expression. Other than maintaining his vigilance, he didn't care about anything else as he followed the crowd and ran out of the city.
The city that Xiao Chen was currently in was one of the bigger cities in the Black Sky Prefecture, named Mooncloud City. It was about a million miles away from Riverside City. To the west of Mooncloud City, there was a huge mountain range that stretched for hundreds of miles, named Qinnan Mountain Range.
The Qinnan Mountain Range was no ordinary mountain range. It was a rare mountain range that contained Seven-Colored Illusionary Stones and Mystical Stones. Furthermore, the number of Seven-Colored Illusionary Stones and Mystical Stones was quite significant, thus the Hei Clan had set their eyes on it.
Hei Clan was the Black Sky Mansion's Mansion Master, so as long as they liked the spirit vein in the Black Sky Mansion, it would belong to them. Other clans and forces wouldn't dare to interfere. This was the authority of the Mansion Master.
Qin Nan Mountain Range was actually controlled by Hei Clan's third young master, Hei Ao. The Hei Clan's experts were all Hei Ao's trusted aides.
Although the Black Sky Mansion was only a third-rate prefecture, it was extremely vast. Its surface area was almost the size of the Huangshen Continent, or even a little bigger. Such a vast territory would definitely have a lot of spirit veins.
The Mansion Master of the Black Sky Mansion, Hei Ba, had three sons. The eldest son, Hei Sen, the second son, Hei Man, and the third son, Hei Ao. These three sons could unite against a common enemy. On the surface, they seemed to be friendly and brotherly, but in their hearts, they were always scheming against each other.
Scheming against each other was a common problem among the clan's disciples. It had been like this since ancient times. Conflicts would always exist when there were benefits involved.
Hei Sen, Hei Man, and Hei Ao all wanted to inherit their father's position and inherit Hei Ba's position as the Mansion Master. Becoming the Mansion Master would allow them to control a prefecture, which was equivalent to becoming the emperor of the Black Sky Mansion.
There were tens of thousands of prefectures in the Central Region. Apart from the powerful prefectures that intentionally interfered with or ordered the weaker prefectures, the other prefectures basically did their own thing. No one dared to offend anyone.
Therefore, the Mansion Master was like a local tyrant, acting like a tyrant in his own prefecture. With such a tempting position, anyone would drool over it, no, more than thirty thousand feet.
In order to become the successor of the Mansion Master, apart from possessing a formidable strength, one must also train one's trusted subordinates. In order to do so, resources were required, and a huge amount of resources were required.
Not only did these resources include Spirit Coins, they also included cultivation resources. In the Middle Continent, the most important cultivation resource was Spirit Stones. Therefore, as long as the young masters of the Middle Continent were not idiots, they would control some spirit veins and mine Spirit Stones to strengthen themselves.
"Da da da."
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh."
Under the supervision of the new slaves, Xiao Chen left the Lunar Worshipping City and headed toward the Qinnan Spiritual Vein a thousand li away. With their speed, they should be able to reach the Qinnan Mountain Range before the sky turned dark. After all, everyone's cultivation was at least at the Purple Elephant Realm, thus they could run like the wind.
Xiao Chen was not sprinting with his head covered. His eyes were constantly scanning the surroundings, memorizing the route and familiarizing himself with the terrain. At the same time, he was able to sense if there was any danger lurking around him. It was a habit of his.
A good habit could sometimes allow one to detect danger in advance, thus turning it into safety. Xiao Chen, who had lived in the Great Wilderness since he was young, had acquired many good habits, which was one of the main reasons why he was able to survive until now.
The journey was smooth. At night, the group arrived at the Qinnan Mountain Range.
Xiao Chen raised his head and glanced at the Qinnan Mountain Range. He discovered that the Qinnan Mountain Range was a few thousand zhang tall, which felt like a giant dragon crawling on the ground, resulting in a great pressure.
Halfway up the Qinnan Mountain Range was a luxurious villa. It was not meant for the lowly slaves to stay in, but for the experts who were in charge of supervising the slaves.
The slaves had to eat, drink, and defecate in the tunnels and mines. Why would they be allowed to stay in a luxurious villa?
Apart from the experts of the Hei Clan who were in charge of supervising the slaves, the villa was also the place where the third son of the Hei Clan, Hei Ao, would occasionally come to inspect the progress of the mining. The most luxurious villa in the villa was Hei Ao's personal residence.
Hei Mu had no idea if Hei Ao was in the villa, thus he could not wait to make his way to the villa. If Hei Ao were to know that he had tricked over eight hundred slaves, he would surely be rewarded by Hei Ao.
Facing the honorable Hei Ao, Hei Mu, who was the lowest-level manager of the Hei Clan, was like a dog. In order to please Hei Ao, he was willing to forsake his dignity. He would not hesitate even if Hei Ao asked him to lick the back of his shoes.
"Up the mountain!"
Hei Mu gave the order and led the way to the villa. The path was winding, but it was not steep. Instead, it was relatively flat and spacious, allowing two four-wheeled carriages to travel side by side.
There was a huge empty space in front of the villa, which was most likely used to transfer the slaves to the mine.
"Everyone stop!"
As expected, when the group arrived at the empty space, Hei Mu raised his right hand and yelled, ordering everyone to stop. He then gave an order to his two subordinates:
"Hei Ba, Hei Ji, I'm going to the Proud Heaven Villa to meet the senior. You two stay here and watch over the slaves. If anyone dares to escape … kill without mercy! If there's any mistake, you will be held responsible! Understood? "
"Yes, Senior Hei Mu."
