Chapter 589: Ye Lin Swears a Poisonous Oath

When one is under the eaves, one has no choice but to bow one's head.

Perhaps he was confident he could kill Qiu Weizhi, but as Kuai Yan had said, with his current strength, it was simply impossible to single-handedly take on all the natives of the Longevity Continent in the mining area.

And once the existence of his Undying Body was exposed, he would certainly be in big trouble.

"Hmm, you are a smart man; I trust you won't let me down." Qiu Weizhi patted Ye Lin on the shoulder with an appreciative look.

"Rest assured, I guarantee I will complete the mission!"

Ye Lin immediately patted his chest to guarantee it, then immediately changed the subject.

"But Team Leader, wanting to make a move on Liu Ruyan in full view of everyone, wouldn't that be too eye-catching?"

"Then what do you want to do?" Qiu Weizhi asked.

"How about this, Team Leader, you think of a way to not let anyone get near the mine tunnel where I am digging. If that happens, I can find an opportunity to lure Liu Ruyan inside, then strike her dead, and destroy the body without anyone knowing!" Ye Lin said in a deep voice.

"Hmm! That makes sense!"

Qiu Weizhi nodded.

"Don't worry, a small matter like this is a piece of cake for me. As long as you can kill Liu Ruyan, there will be plenty of follow-up benefits!"

You dog, trying to dangle a carrot in front of your daddy, are you?

Ye Lin cursed inwardly, but what came out of his mouth were words of gratitude.

"Hehe, then many thanks to the Team Leader for the promotion!"

"Hmm, go get busy. Oh, and take these low-grade Immortal Source Stones with you! I will definitely smooth things over for you!"

Qiu Weizhi waved his hand, even returning the low-grade Immortal Source Stones that Ye Lin had brought.

The death of five or six ascenders was, to Qiu Weizhi, merely a matter of saying a few words.

Moreover, as a team leader, he was not worried that Ye Lin would dare to go back on his word.

If Ye Lin failed to kill Liu Ruyan, Qiu Weizhi had a hundred ways to make him spit those twenty thousand-plus low-grade Immortal Source Stones back out!

"Many thanks, Team Leader! Many thanks, Team Leader! Team Leader, you are truly too good to me; I will never be able to repay your kindness in this lifetime!"

Ye Lin's eyes turned red, and he even uncontrollably wanted to raise his hands and dance.

"Alright, alright, don't be so sentimental, you're a grown man."

Qiu Weizhi pushed Ye Lin directly out.

After walking out, the smile on Ye Lin's face slowly faded.

With Qiu Weizhi providing cover for him, plus Ban Muming keeping watch at the entrance of the mine tunnel, with this double protection, he could now dig for ore with peace of mind.

Qiu Weizhi's efficiency was high.

The deaths of Ding Haoyan and the others did not bring Ye Lin any trouble.

Furthermore, the next morning, when Ye Lin started digging, no one could get anywhere near the mine tunnel where Ye Lin was located.

Even when Kuai Yan wanted to whisper a few words to him, he was kicked away by Qiu Weizhi.

Walking to the end of the mine tunnel, Ye Lin revealed a crazed smile.

"You like making ascenders dig for ore, right? I'm going to dig this mountain through right now!"

He unfurled the Human Emperor Flag with force, and an army of soul bodies crowded the entire mine tunnel; Ban Muming skillfully went to the entrance of the mining area to keep watch.

The remaining soul bodies immediately began the intense and exciting work of mining.

This time, Ye Lin completely let himself go.

He no longer just let the soul bodies dig straight ahead, but began digging in all directions.

As for Ye Lin himself, he began to use Endless Devour to refine those twenty thousand-plus low-grade Immortal Source Stones.

Although twenty thousand seemed extremely insignificant compared to the number one hundred million, even a mosquito is meat no matter how small.

It must be said that refined Immortal Source Stones indeed contained far more energy than raw Immortal Source ore.

If even low-grade Immortal Source Stones had this level of energy, Ye Lin was very curious: if it were high-grade or even top-grade Immortal Source Stones, how massive would the energy contained within be?

By the time Ye Lin finished refining those twenty thousand-plus low-grade Immortal Source Stones, the soul body army had already excavated over a hundred more tunnels within the existing one.

Under this indiscriminate digging, they soon struck gold.

Freshly unearthed Immortal Source ore, unrefined, was sent before Ye Lin, and Ye Lin began to feast.

Those dense, hardworking soul bodies were like worker ants in an ant colony, and Ye Lin was the queen ant.

The worker ants worked desperately hard, just to keep the queen ant plump and well-fed, so she could produce more worker ants to labor.

The soul body army was even more diligent than worker ants, because worker ants were flesh and blood and would get tired, while soul bodies would not.

In just one day, the soul body army had dug through the northern vein of the 81st mining area, and Ye Lin himself could not count how many pieces of Immortal Source ore he had devoured.

He only knew that the energy contained in these Immortal Source ores, when added together, should be comparable to over a million low-grade Immortal Source Stones!

If he were to hand these Immortal Source ores over to Qiu Weizhi and collect wages based on weight, his monthly salary could also be several tens of thousands of low-grade Immortal Source Stones.

This amount of salary was enough to make other miners green with envy.

But even so, Ye Lin was still somewhat unsatisfied.

Because even if he dug up the equivalent of a million low-grade Immortal Source Stones in one day, at this rate, he would still have to dig for nearly a hundred days to gather the one hundred million low-grade Immortal Source Stones needed to reshape his body...

Ye Lin did not have that much time.

With this method of digging, it wouldn't be long before the controllers of the mining area discovered something was wrong.

By then, the entire mining area would be strictly investigated, and he would no longer be able to let the soul body army out to mine so recklessly.

"It seems that starting tomorrow, I have to speed up the digging..."

Ye Lin muttered to himself; reshaping his body was too important to him.

If he could use all his strength, he wouldn't be so passive.

The next morning, Ye Lin entered the mine tunnel again. This time, the soul body army emerging from the Human Emperor Flag expanded from five hundred thousand to a massive two million, and the digging speed soared once again!

That day, Ye Lin obtained Immortal Source ore comparable to three million low-grade Immortal Source Stones; the northern vein of the 81st area had been completely hollowed out by the soul body army, and he prepared to start digging toward the southern, eastern, and western mining areas tomorrow.

After refining all these Immortal Source ores and erasing the traces, Ye Lin got up and left.

And when Ye Lin walked out of the mine tunnel, Qiu Weizhi was already waiting for him there.

"How is it? When will you make a move on Liu Ruyan?" Qiu Weizhi questioned.

"Rest assured, Team Leader!"

Ye Lin patted his chest and said with a serious face.

"I am currently setting up a peerless killing array inside! Team Leader, give me a few more days; as long as this killing array is completed, and I lure Liu Ruyan inside, she will definitely die!"

"It will take a few more days? You aren't just stalling for time to fool me, are you?" Qiu Weizhi frowned slightly and looked at Ye Lin suspiciously.

"Of course not! Team Leader, do you not believe me?"

Ye Lin held up three fingers with a serious expression.

"How about this, I, Ye Lin, swear a poisonous oath on the lives of my entire Ye clan! If I, Ye Lin, am deceiving you, Team Leader, may my entire Ye clan be wiped out and leave no descendants!"
