Chapter 1767: Becoming a Miner

These martial cultivators weren't too greedy; after digging for a day, they began to notify their families' people, and so the people of the two major forces almost emptied their nests and rushed here.

The City Lord's mansion was also particularly strange, but it did not interfere.

Some martial cultivator teams had already returned to the City Lord's mansion and also reported to the inspectors that they had been robbed by the two major forces.

However, those inspectors also paid no attention.

They themselves had been robbed, and could only blame their own lack of strength; the inspectors and the City Lord's mansion would not help them seek justice.

Only Pei Yong thought that the mobilization of the two major forces might be related to Ye Liuyun.

By this time, Ye Liuyun and his group had already cleared the two mineral veins; the two teams had merged and were rushing toward the martial cultivators who were still mining.

"Get lost!"

The martial cultivator at the Third Layer Realm, upon detecting Ye Liuyun and the others with his divine sense, immediately charged out, intending to drive them away.

Ye Liuyun and his clone, without a word, directly used their souls to control his soul, and with Nether Ghost Fire began to scorch his soul.

That martial cultivator had cultivated a space world; Ye Liuyun saw him storing a considerable amount of divine crystals into his own space world.

After a soul search, it was indeed confirmed that his space world contained many good things.

Thus Ye Liuyun forced him to hand over everything.

He then killed him outright, seized his storage ring, and threw the corpse to the black panther.

When the other martial cultivators saw their team leader dead, they all immediately rushed at Ye Liuyun and his group.

But Ye Liuyun and his companions merely beat them up, without killing them.

Afterwards they collected the martial cultivators' storage rings, emptied their contents, and then returned the rings to them.

"Keep mining!"

Ye Liuyun ordered them.

"What?"

"You want us to mine for you?"

A young martial cultivator was still not used to it; probably in his clan he was also a disciple of some status.

Ye Liuyun directly swung his Yi Dao and sliced off his head.

"Who else doesn't want to go?"

Ye Liuyun asked while holding his blade.

"We'll go, we'll go!"

Seeing this, the other martial cultivators dared not delay and immediately went to mine for Ye Liuyun and his group.

"Just hold on; our clan's experts will arrive soon, and then it will be our time for revenge! Even if we dig it out, he ultimately won't be able to take it away!"

A martial cultivator reminded everyone.

Thus these people did not slack off; they were mining diligently, fearing that Ye Liuyun would kill them prematurely if dissatisfied.

Ye Liuyun had already learned via soul search that they had notified their families' people.

Moreover, the people of the two major forces were also on their way.

But he was not at all panicked.

The magic vine had been sleeping inside the Xuan Kong Stone for several days and had just awakened.

Moreover, according to him, even a fourth-layer War God Realm martial cultivator was no problem now.

So Ye Liuyun actually hoped that the members of the two great families would hurry over to help them mine.

Lan Xin was organizing the heavenly treasures and earthly riches previously collected by the magic vine.

However, many medicinal herbs had been violently uprooted by the magic vine and were no longer suitable for replanting.

Thus Ye Liuyun and his companions took out all the heavenly treasures and earthly riches that could be directly absorbed, consumed them, and increased their strength.

Those that could still be planted had already been transplanted by Lan Xin into the space world.

In her role as a menial worker, she performed quite competently.

Ye Liuyun and his clone, stimulated by these resources, began preparing to break through to the late stage of the Second Layer Realm.

Moreover, they now had sufficient divine crystals; Ye Liuyun's resources were lacking, so he directly used divine crystals as consumption.

The large numbers of martial cultivators from the two great families, upon arrival, were directly trapped by the magic vine; first they were forced to hand over their storage rings, then after emptying the rings, they were driven to mine.

These martial cultivators all became Ye Liuyun's miners, overseen by the magic vine.

Some martial cultivators who possessed a space world tried to sneak away with some loot, but the magic vine detected them and directly devoured them, without wasting energy.

The remaining over five thousand martial cultivators dug the mineral veins with remarkable speed.

They did not need to break the mineral vein into small crystals; digging out large chunks was sufficient.

Thus after one day, that divine crystal vein was completely excavated by them.

Ye Liuyun had the crystals collected, letting the magic vine retain only the two families' clan chiefs, while devouring the rest.

The resources carried by these martial cultivators were actually quite substantial.

But Ye Liuyun was still thinking about the treasures within their families.

He implanted a slave seal on those two clan chiefs, so that they could return to their families and bring all the resources, thereby sparing their remaining clansmen.

Those two clan chiefs had no choice; with the slave seal in place, they had no thought of resistance.

Immediately, following Ye Liuyun's demand, they returned to their families to gather resources.

Afterwards, Ye Liuyun and his companions all returned to the Xuan Kong Stone to cultivate and break through their realms.

After Ye Liuyun and his clone's breakthrough to the late Second Layer Realm stabilized for a few days, they began to ascend the highest peak and set up a lightning-attracting formation there.

His and Lei Ming's thunderous power had not been increased for a long time.

In the Divine Realm, although they could not draw down punitive heavenly thunder, drawing forth thunderous power was certainly no problem.

Ye Liuyun had set up the formation; as soon as he took out the lightning-attracting stone, the sky began to gather dark clouds.

After Ye Liuyun had set up all the lightning-attracting stones, Royal Beast Mountain was already shrouded in dark clouds.

The booming thunder was clearly audible.

Immediately after, bolts of lightning came down one after another.

Ye Liuyun, his avatar, and Lei Ming, waiting outside the formation, had already started directly absorbing.

The formation also stored all the thunder and lightning power into the lightning-attracting stones.

After five days, when the lightning-attracting stones had absorbed the full thunder and lightning power, Ye Liuyun collected them and dismantled the formation.

Those two clan chiefs also did their utmost, not only sending over all the resources from their family's treasure vault, but also ransacking their families and seizing many people's storage rings.

Ye Liuyun took everything, then had the magic vine devour the two of them.

He couldn't leave any hidden dangers when doing such things.

Once those two clan chiefs were eliminated, no one else would know that the situation here was his doing.

Even if Pei Yong could guess, he wouldn't say it out loud.

After everything was settled, Ye Liuyun then led everyone back to Beast Mountain City.

Their trip to Royal Beast Mountain had increased everyone's strength.

Some people's soul power and physical bodies had improved to varying degrees.

Moreover, the resources they would need on the road ahead had also been largely supplied by the two great families.

As for the resources they couldn't use, they could wait until reaching Royal City to sell them and exchange for other resources.

They also gathered a considerable amount of beast cores and meat from ferocious beasts.

So before leaving Royal Beast Mountain, they held a barbecue celebration, letting everyone eat their fill.

Ye Liuyun, inside the space world, also replaced many of the previously buried spirit stone veins with divine crystals, first absorbing those spirit stones.
