Chapter 543

~8 min read 1,535 words

When he revealed his Marrow Cleansing Minor Success cultivation and entered the Ten Elites List, Zhao Qing had even sent a congratulatory gift.

Besides Zhou Jiang and Zhao Qing, there were two other outer sect disciples with them, whom he had seen in the outer sect but wasn't familiar with.

He strode over, cupped his fists, and said: "So it's Senior Brother Zhao Qing who has come to take over the mine's affairs. That's truly great."

Zhao Qing smiled and cupped his fists: "For me, this is not a good thing. Junior Brother Xu, I ask for your kind care in the future. Senior brother will definitely listen to you."

Two deacons died in two months, and Guan Du, who was at Marrow Cleansing Major Success, also died, along with three disciples with Major Success Gang Qi. None of the outer sect deacons wanted to take this bitter job, fearing they would die at Moon Lake.

He had no background and was arranged to come over.

Fortunately, he had established a relationship with Xu Yang early on. As long as he listened to Xu Yang, there shouldn't be any problems.

Xu Yang shook his head: "Senior Brother Zhao is joking. You are the mine manager; it should be me listening to you."

Zhao Qing's words had a bit of teasing, so he didn't dwell on this matter and said: "Junior Brother Xu, how about we talk in private?"

Xu Yang nodded and entered his courtyard with Zhao Qing.

Zhao Qing first took out a jade box from his luggage and handed it to Xu Yang, saying: "This was entrusted to me by Gao Lin to give to you."

Xu Yang opened it and saw it was a Dragon-Tiger Great Golden Pill. He knew this was the subsidy Elder Huoyun gave him every three months, so he put it away.

"Did my Senior Brother Gao have any words for Senior Brother Zhao to convey?"

Regarding the matter of Liu Xunjiang and Song Wenxuan, although he had done it without any flaws, Liu Qingyuan was ultimately an elder of Heavenly Authority Peak. He also wasn't sure if Elder Huoyun would still stand on his side after he offended an elder.

Logically speaking, the best way at this time was to let him return to the Profound Heaven Sect to avoid the limelight.

"Yes!"

Zhao Qing nodded: "Gao Lin wants me to tell you that the sect didn't pursue Liu Xunjiang's death, and Liu Qingyuan hasn't made any moves, but the Song family's eldest son, Song Wenshan, has already brought experts into the Yunling Mountain Range. Be careful.

Elder Huoyun can only guarantee that Heavenly Origin experts won't take action against you; you have to deal with others yourself."

After speaking, he looked depressed. Coming to Moon Lake at this time was like running into a battlefield, and he could be implicated at any time.

With Heavenly Origin experts not taking action, Xu Yang breathed a sigh of relief.

It seemed that Elder Huoyun wasn't ignoring him, but was using this matter to temper him.

Carefully calculating, there was only about two and a half years left until the second Dragon Ascension. Elder Huoyun had invested so much in him, naturally hoping he could undergo the second Dragon Ascension.

To talk about feelings, there actually wasn't much.

Elder Huoyun hoped more for a disciple who could undergo the second Dragon Ascension, so he could be said to care about his life and death, or he could be said not to care.

He cared because Elder Huoyun hoped he could undergo the second Dragon Ascension, so naturally, he didn't want him to die.

But if he cared about his life and death, he wouldn't let him face a behemoth like the Song family alone. If it weren't for him always having a hidden hand, facing a great clan like the Song family would be nine deaths and one life.

The two exchanged a few pleasantries, and Zhao Qing soon left to familiarize himself with the mine's affairs.

"Song Wenshan!"

According to what Zhao Qing said, the Song family head Song Shirong's eldest son, Song Wenshan, had Marrow Cleansing Major Success cultivation, and his combat power was among the best in Marrow Cleansing Major Success. On the surface, he brought a group of Song family experts into the Yunling Mountain Range to search for the Four Evils of Wushan, but no one dared to guarantee that they wouldn't come to kill Xu Yang.

As for how many experts the Song family brought, Gao Lin hadn't found out, but they shouldn't take action against him for the time being.

After all, Song Wenxuan had just died. If he died right after, it wouldn't be easy to explain to the Profound Heaven Sect.

In the following days, Xu Yang cultivated according to the plan every day. Without realizing it, a month passed, and the Song family people didn't come to the mine.

Somewhere in the mountains of the Yunling Mountain Range, Song Wenshan had been searching for the Four Evils of Wushan with Song family experts for more than a month, but hadn't found the Four Evils of Wushan.

The Yunling Mountain Range was too vast. Not to mention that they were just a few people, even if there were ten or a hundred times more people, finding a few people in the Yunling Mountain Range was like looking for a needle in a haystack.

If the Four Evils of Wushan were so easy to find, they wouldn't have run rampant in the Yunling Mountain Range for so many years.

"Eldest Young Master, should we continue?" Song Shizhao said.

He was one of the Song family's Marrow Cleansing Major Success experts and had also come to find the Four Evils of Wushan this time.

For a month, there wasn't a trace of the Four Evils of Wushan. He understood that continuing to search was just a waste of time.

However, he wasn't the one in charge; whether to continue depended on the instructions of the Eldest Young Master, Song Wenshan.

"Let's end it here," Song Wenshan sighed.

After more than a month, his hatred had been worn away. No matter how much hatred he had, there was nothing he could do if he couldn't find the enemy.

It was impossible for them to do nothing and keep searching in the Yunling Mountain Range.

"Rest for a while, go to Moon Lake to kill Xu Yang, and then go back. Bringing his head back will at least give the family an explanation," Song Wenshan's killing intent surged.

Unable to find the Four Evils of Wushan, his killing intent could only be vented on Xu Yang.

Night, the moon like a jade plate!

The Yunling Mountain Range at night was not peaceful. Between the towering mountains and ridges, huge beast roars sounded from time to time.

"Truly wonderful!"

Xu Yang's mind covered the mine, spreading out. He saw Zhou Jiang and the others who had already fallen asleep, saw the disciples who were patrolling in secret, and felt the movement of the mine.

Before reaching Marrow Cleansing Major Success, when he released his mind, although he could see these things, he didn't have any perception; it was just a very direct sight.

After reaching Marrow Cleansing Major Success, his mind seemed to have a contract with heaven and earth. After releasing his mind, he had this ability to "perceive" the nature of heaven and earth. He seemed to have turned into this mine, and his mind grew slowly.

"This should be the so-called unity of heaven and man. Before Marrow Cleansing Major Success, my cultivation was not enough to contract with heaven and earth, so even if I released my mind, it didn't have this effect."

Xu Yang's mind was calm, feeling the majesty of heaven and earth and the magic of nature.

"Eh?"

Suddenly, he felt a gaze staring straight at him, carrying killing intent and hostility.

No, strictly speaking, it was staring at the mine, but at this moment his mind covered the entire mine, so the feeling he got was that it was staring at him.

Two!

Three!

Before he could think more, he discovered that there were several more gazes staring at him, a total of four, all carrying huge pressure.

"Four Marrow Cleansing Major Success martial artists staring at the mine in secret?"

Wandering around the mine at this time of night and staring at the mine with hostile gazes was clearly ill-intentioned.

"Could it be Song family experts?" Xu Yang's heart moved.

He immediately turned over and got out of bed, grabbed Red Blood from the head of the bed, and disappeared into the night like a ghost.

"Eldest Young Master, this is the Profound Heaven Sect's Moon Lake mine!" Song Shizhao pointed to the mine not far away.

Song Wenshan nodded: "Do you know how many experts are guarding here?"

He didn't act rashly, figuring out the situation first.

Song Shizhao said: "This is just a small mine with low output. Under normal circumstances, there are ten outer sect disciples with Gang Qi cultivation, one outer sect deacon who has just entered Marrow Cleansing, and Xu Yang."
