Chapter 95

This is a continent suffused with blood-red, immeasurably vast!

A desolate wasteland, the earth as if dyed red by fresh blood, covered by a barrier!

This is a secret mining site of the Cang Shi Heavenly Clan!

Countless mining pits crisscross, the pits piled with various ores, yet also scattered with many cold corpses!

About a million ragged, weak-cultivation cultivators are being guarded by some cultivators wearing cyan armor, toiling to mine in the pits.

Their bodies are covered in wounds!

Some are missing arms or legs!

Some are on their last breath!

Their eyes are filled with despair and numbness!

Obviously, they have long suffered torment here.

Among these mining cultivators, there is a figure clad in gray robes!

He bears many whip wounds, but among this group his condition is relatively better!

His face smeared with dirt and blood, he strains to swing his pickaxe, digging at extremely hard ore.

This person is none other than Yang Xuanji!

Yang Xuanji ascended to the immortal realm, his luck also bad, arriving above this continent!

He had no idea where he was, and was inexplicably seized by members of the Cang Shi Heavenly Clan.

Due to his low cultivation and lack of backing, he naturally became the ideal pick for mining, and thus he toils day and night extracting ore.

The immortal ore mined here is mixed with a kind of soul-devouring stone! This ore contains strong corrosiveness.

Ordinary cultivators who touch it for long find their immortal power continually devoured!

Their cultivation will also gradually decline!

Even their flesh will be corroded, ultimately dying in agony!

The mortality rate among the miners is extremely high, akin to hell on earth!!

Therefore, the Cang Shi Heavenly Clan can only capture other cultivators to mine!

At this moment, Yang Xuanji, straining to mine, has a numb gaze, muttering in his heart:

"Ah, who said ascending is good!"

"Ascension is a scam!"

"Wuu wuu wuu, I want to return to the lower realm!"

"Master, where are you? Come save me quickly, I can barely hold on!"

Smack!

As Yang Xuanji was dazed, a whip lashed down from above and struck him hard!!

"Hurry up, don't fucking slack off!"

A cold voice came from above.

Hiss!

Yang Xuanji gained another wound, sucking in a cold breath from the pain!

He didn't even have time to touch the stinging wound on his back, grabbing his pickaxe and straining to dig again!!!

Smack! Smack! Smack! Smack……

"Ahhhhh!!"

Not far from Yang Xuanji, the sound of whipping and waves of shrill screams echoed across the heavens!

Immediately after, a chorus of wails rose!

Hearing it made Yang Xuanji's whole body turn cold with fear!

These past days, for some reason, a mad woman has come to the mine!!

That mad woman is extremely perverse; coming to the mine, she crazily abuses the miners for her amusement!!

In just a few days, tens of thousands of miners have already died under her whip!!

"Please don't come over, please don't come over!"

Yang Xuanji silently prayed in his heart!

If that mad woman came to this area, he would be doomed!

Not far above that area, a woman in scarlet robes hovered in midair, wielding a long whip, lashing at a miner!

Smack!

The scarlet woman seemed in a foul mood; as the whip came down, that miner exploded outright into a lump of minced flesh!!

"Miss Lingjiao, we've already killed a hundred thousand; we can't kill any more."

"Otherwise we won't meet this month's mining quota!"

An old man stood behind the scarlet woman, pleading as he spoke.

He is the overseer of this continent's mine, required each month to hand over sufficient immortal ore to the clan!

If he fails the task, he will be punished!

And that scarlet woman is none other than Cang Lingjiao, daughter of the Cang Shi Heavenly Clan's grand elder!!

Not long ago, she lost her husband and son, unable to find the culprit, her grief extreme, so she came to this mine to slaughter the miners and vent her emotions!

Plus the miner she just killed, the number of miners she has abused has reached a full hundred thousand!!

And today alone, she has already abused over ten thousand miners!

"Hmph, what's there to fear? These miners dig too slow; I'm just helping you speed up the schedule!"

Cang Lingjiao said this with a spoiled, petulant expression.

Immediately after, she shouted down at the miners below who were digging: "You bunch of lowly slaves, hurry up and dig—whoever is slowest will get a whipping from me!"

Hearing that, the miners below trembled with fear and dug even harder!

One cultivator's body had already been corroded by the Immortal-devouring Stone beyond recognition!

He panted, taking a brief rest!

Smack!

Cang Lingjiao's whip landed directly on him, and he instantly exploded into a mist of blood!

"Hmph, slacking off, you deserve death!"

Cang Lingjiao let out a haughty cold snort!!

"Ah!"

The mine supervisor, an old man, let out a sigh!

He didn't dare blame Cang Lingjiao either; faced with this young lady who had just lost her husband and son, he was completely at a loss!!

You say your husband and son are dead—go find the killer; why come cause trouble at my mine!

Boom!

Just then, the barrier shrouding this continent was shattered by something unknown!!

Immediately after, four figures appeared in the sky above this area!

It was Li Zhangsheng and company!

"What happened?"

The sudden change startled the members of the Cang Heavenly Clan guarding this mine!

Swish! Swish! Swish...

Countless gazes turned toward the four who had suddenly appeared!

"Huh?"

Cang Lingjiao also looked over!

Then she saw the white-clad youth!!

Unexpected!

Surprise!

Anger!

It's him, it's him, it's him!

He's the one who killed Cangwu and Jie'er!

"Ahhhh!!!"

"It's you!!"

The instant Cang Lingjiao saw Li Zhangsheng, her face filled with endless hatred!

She instantly lost reason, releasing all her aura, roaring as she charged at Li Zhangsheng:

"I'll slaughter you!"

"I'll slaughter you——"

Li Zhangsheng furrowed his brow!

"How come as soon as I arrive, a crazy woman comes charging at me!!"

"She seems to hate me a lot!"

"I've never even seen her before!"

"What's wrong with her!"

Li Zhangsheng didn't think much, extended a finger, and lightly pointed at Cang Lingjiao.

Boom!

The enraged Cang Lingjiao charging forward instantly exploded into a mist of blood...
