In the dark tunnel, Lu Ye followed the old man while checking the items in the storage bag.
Soon, he found some Energy Pills and a few Healing Pills, which were the same as the ones in Manager Yang's storage bag. There were also some random bottles and jars that Lu Ye did not recognize.
There were also a few pieces of ores, but their quality was not as good as those in Manager Yang's collection.
Zhou Cheng's status was not as high as Manager Yang's, so his wealth was naturally not as rich as Manager Yang's.
However, Lu Ye was already very satisfied. After all, it was free stuff.
He put the long sword in his hand into the storage bag and tied it to his waist.
With this storage bag as a cover, the storage bag he kept close to him would be safer.
He wanted to ask the old man about his knowledge of cultivation and elixirs, but after thinking about it, he gave up the idea. The old man was a senior. Although he looked kind and amiable, no one could tell what kind of temperament he had. Lu Ye was in no position to ask the old man about these things, since they had met by chance.
The most important thing now was to follow him out of the tunnel. If he offended the old man because of his inappropriate words, he would be neglecting the essentials.
The old man did not walk fast in front, but Lu Ye had to jog to keep up. Moreover, the old man would occasionally disappear and return quickly.
Lu Ye secretly guessed that the old man might have found a hidden disciple of Evil Moon Valley and killed him.
The tunnels in the vein were crisscrossed and the terrain was complicated. Even Lu Ye had to identify the right path when he passed by each intersection. However, the old man was just taking a stroll, but every path he took was the right one.
In less than an hour, there was light in front of him!
It was the exit of the tunnel.
As the old man walked out of the dark tunnel and embraced the light again, Lu Ye could not help but feel absent-minded. He actually had a strange feeling of being a human being.
"Elder Tang!"
At the exit of the tunnel, there were several figures guarding it. They were cultivators from various sects of Haotian Alliance to prevent Evil Moon Valley disciples from escaping.
When they saw the old man appear, they all bowed.
The old man nodded slightly.
One of the middle-aged cultivators who looked like the leader looked at Lu Ye in confusion and asked, "Elder Tang, he is …"
The old man said, "He's a disciple of the Xuantian Sect that was destroyed a year ago. He was captured and brought here as a mine slave. He helped me a little inside, so I brought him out along the way."
The middle-aged cultivator understood and waved at a young cultivator next to him. "Take him to record it."
"Yes!" The young cultivator accepted the order and said to Lu Ye, "Follow me!"
Lu Ye turned to look at Elder Tang. He wanted to thank him, but Elder Tang had already walked away.
The middle-aged cultivator who spoke just now followed closely behind and said, "Elder Tang, Deputy Alliance Leader Pang has ordered you to meet him. He has something important to discuss with you."
Old Tang stroked his beard and grumbled, "You old bones can't even rest for a moment."
As he spoke, he soared into the sky and disappeared without a trace.
At this moment, Lu Ye was already led in another direction by that young cultivator. That cultivator had no intention of communicating with him, so Lu Ye's silence was naturally golden.
Recalling Elder Tang's words, Lu Ye smiled knowingly.
This old man was indeed not bad.
Lu Ye didn't help him much in the mine. Instead, he owed him a favor. However, he said that on purpose.
For a senior expert like him, a casual remark could resolve a lot of Lu Ye's troubles.
For example, the storage pouch hanging on his waist!
For the current Lu Ye, this thing was actually a problem. When he found this storage pouch on Zhou Cheng's body, Lu Ye already had the corresponding awareness.
He even planned to give this storage pouch away if someone from the Grand Sky Alliance wanted it. After all, his current identity was only a mine slave in the Evil Moon Valley. There were times when he had to rely on others.
Only when you give up something, you gain something. He kept the truly good things close to him. Zhou Cheng's storage pouch was nothing to be regretful about.
However, with Elder Tang's casual words just now, it was likely that no one would have any ideas about the storage pouch.
In the end, Lu Ye couldn't thank him in person, which made him feel slightly regretful. However, there would be plenty of opportunities in the future.
There was a huge valley outside the mine. It was surrounded by mountains on three sides. There was only one way to enter this place from the east. At this moment, the valley was bustling with people coming and going.
Lu Ye looked up and saw many traces of a great battle in the valley. There were still traces of blood on the ground that hadn't dried up. The entire valley was filled with a strong smell of blood.
It seemed that when the Grand Sky Alliance attacked this place, the Evil Moon Valley suffered a great loss.
Large flags were erected all over the valley. Different words and patterns were engraved on the flags. They should represent different sects and families.
The flags were crowded and bustling with activity.
According to Lu Ye's understanding, the Grand Heaven Alliance was an extremely large organization. There were many different sects and clans in the organization. The force that Lu Ye saw was only the tip of the iceberg of the Grand Heaven Alliance.
The Myriad Devil Ridge, which opposed the Grand Sky Alliance, had the same structure.
After regaining his freedom, Lu Ye was in a good mood. Everything was new to him. The young cultivator leading the way urged him several times.
When he walked to the corner of the valley, there were also many people gathered here. However, these people couldn't be compared to the brightly dressed and high-spirited cultivators Lu Ye saw along the way. Most of them were covered in dust and looked sallow and emaciated. A small number of them were in a daze, especially some beautiful young women.
Those who were covered in dust were the mine slaves who had worked in the mine. Years of hard work and malnutrition made them look like refugees.
Not all the people who were captured by the Evil Moon Valley would be turned into mining slaves. There were also some beautiful women whose experiences were generally more miserable. Now that the mineral veins were captured and they were rescued, their miserable experiences were destined to be unerasable.
Seeing this group of people, Lu Ye immediately understood that these were the people who had been oppressed and enslaved by the Evil Moon Valley. Now that they had regained their freedom, they were gathered together for some unknown reason.
In front of this group of people, there was a table. Behind the table was a chubby cultivator who looked young. He was leaning against the chair and napping with his arms crossed.
The young cultivator who led Lu Ye here came forward and gently knocked on the table.
The chubby cultivator quivered and almost fell off the chair. When he saw the person in front of him, he patted his chest and said, "You really scared me to death."
The young cultivator was speechless. He whispered, "Senior Brother Pang, although registration is an idle job, you can't do this. If the lords in the alliance see …"
Before he could finish, the chubby cultivator waved his hand impatiently and said, "I know, I know. You're so long-winded like a woman." He paused and asked, "What's the matter?"
The young cultivator stepped aside and revealed Lu Ye behind him. "Registration and identity verification."
Because the chubby cultivator was fat, his eyes were almost invisible due to the fat on his face. However, the moment he saw Lu Ye, his small eyes suddenly opened and stared at the storage bag on Lu Ye's waist.
