Are you looking to die?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Great hero, spare me! Great hero, spare me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The laborer was already old, and years of brutal toil had left his body ever weaker.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The martial artist was immensely strong. One whip alone had broken the man's ribs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Enduring the pain, he begged for mercy through tears, wanting only to hurry up, shoulder the stone, and move on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But with broken ribs, the moment he exerted strength, the pain bored into him like a drill, and no matter what he did, he could not lift it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Move it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I...!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old laborer was in unbearable pain and terrified out of his mind. Using every last bit of strength, he finally forced himself to his feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in the next moment, his body swayed, and he collapsed to the ground again, the stone crashing down heavily onto him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Help me! Help me!\" came his shrill cries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After struggling for a short while, he stopped moving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other laborers watched this scene in fear and sorrow, but not one of them dared make a sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Useless trash!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Sword-Forging Manor disciple flicked out his whip, coiling it around the man and his corpse alike, then flung them into a corner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The body smashed apart even further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stop staring! Move it, all of you! If you delay Sword-Forging Manor's grand undertaking, even the lives of several generations of your families together would not be enough to pay for it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other laborers hurried forward again, their eyes filled with grief and despair, their hearts clinging to one final wish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They no longer hoped anyone would save them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They only hoped they might find the courage for a swift death, rather than continue suffering in this hell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Satisfied, the disciples of Sword-Forging Manor nodded and walked onto a wooden platform beside the gigantic cavern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A white-bearded martial artist of extremely powerful aura sat cross-legged upon an exquisite cushion, his eyes closed in rest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside him were neatly arranged fruits and fine wine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Elder Chen, the deeper we go, the stronger the dragon-might becomes. These laborers probably won't be of any use after another ten days.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The excavation was too close to the Dragon Vein. Even martial artists could hardly bear it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for ordinary laborers, it was already a sign of strong vitality if they did not simply die on the spot, let alone continue digging.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ten days, is it? After a full five years, we've finally come to this step.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elder Chen nodded silently, his eyes still closed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes. Dragon Abyss Path hasn't been peaceful lately. Sword-Forging Manor has been snatching up laborers both old and young, and they keep getting crushed to death and blocking the tunnel at the slightest thing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One disciple spoke in disgust.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those men had spent years in this cavern, with movement in and out kept strictly controlled for secrecy, so they rarely knew much about the outside world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All they knew was that the quality of the laborers brought in recently had been poor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old, the weak, the sick, and the crippled kept running into trouble, forcing them to deal with the mess.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elder Chen nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Manor Lord came to see me a few days ago and told me that they have indeed run into some trouble. The jianghu forces over in Qingjiang Prefecture were wiped out by the Jinyiwei.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They have even been spreading word everywhere about our excavation of the treasure, bringing no small amount of trouble to the manor.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The disciples were all somewhat surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Jinyiwei? Mere imperial hounds actually dared oppose us!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Dragon Abyss Path, Sword-Forging Manor was the sky itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could any Jinyiwei dare stir up trouble here?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They truly had a death wish!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elder Chen nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Manor Lord's side hasn't sent anyone over lately because they are busy resolving this matter. The Dragon Abyss Sword was just brought out. By now, I imagine all the enemies have already been executed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had just felt the aura of the Dragon Abyss Sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that heavenly armament capable of cowing all others now brought forth, there could be no mishap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When the Dragon Vein is finally excavated, it will be the day my Sword-Forging Manor returns to the peak and becomes the Great Qian Dynasty's Tenth Great Sect.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"At that time, not only will petty vermin no longer dare stir up trouble, but the martial powers of all Jiangnan will submit completely.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At those words, the disciples' eyes all lit up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When that day came, those who had managed this place for so many years would all have rendered tremendous merit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their future would surely be bright!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One disciple asked, \"Elder Chen, what should be done with these laborers after ten days?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The deeper the pit went, the stronger the dragon-might became. Laborers without Internal Energy would be useless by then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Naturally, they will all be disposed of.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elder Chen spoke calmly. \"To sacrifice themselves so Sword-Forging Manor can return to the summit of the jianghu is an honor they ought to be grateful for.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"All of you, go keep watch outside. Things have not been peaceful lately. Do not let some petty rat sneak in.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The disciples nodded and accepted the order.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Half a day earlier, a black shadow had slipped into the depths of the pit, and Elder Chen had discovered it when it left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A thief with the heart for stealing, but not the guts to go through with it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, a series of noisy, chaotic sounds came from outside the gigantic cavern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elder Chen opened his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go out and see what is happening.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, sir!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the mouth of the cavern, dense masses of black figures emerged from the forest like phantoms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blade-light flashed, and the Sword-Forging Manor disciples guarding the area all fell into pools of blood in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The disciples who had only ever been tasked with preventing the laborers from escaping had never expected enemies to appear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Panicked, they immediately cried for help.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the newly arrived laborers saw martial artists clashing, afraid of being caught in the crossfire, they began wailing and scattering in all directions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't kill me! Don't kill me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the laborers who had been here for years widened their eyes and did not run.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They simply stood there, blank and motionless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had already suffered enough torment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A single clean death by the blade would be better.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among them stood a gaunt laborer with only one arm, his body covered in wounds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He watched as a black-clad figure carrying a saber walked toward him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He neither dodged nor hid. Instead, he knelt to the ground and silently lifted his face toward the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mother, I broke my promise. I can't go back and look after you in your old age. In my next life, I'll be your son again...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this world, ordinary people were not treated as people, and their lives were not treated as lives either!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one would save them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>SHING!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blade-light flashed before his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But to his shock, something was wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why was he not dead?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dazed, he turned around, only to see the corpse of a Sword-Forging Manor disciple lying on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Jinyiwei pulled the stunned laborer to his feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Find somewhere to hide. Just don't go too far, or it'll be hard to send all of you home together later.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that said, the Jinyiwei continued forward, ready to keep killing the enemy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why?\" the one-armed laborer asked blankly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Jinyiwei turned back with a frown, then remembered Lord Cheng's teaching.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Because you are one of Great Qian's people.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The same scene repeated itself over and over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some recognized that the men who had come to save them were the Jinyiwei, and their hearts were filled with nothing but shock and boundless gratitude.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those dark and chilling figures seemed to shine with golden light in their eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【The host has led a righteous force and greatly elevated the Jinyiwei's reputation. Reward: Heaven-Grade weapon: Demon-Beating Staff (ineffective against humans; specially effective against demon beasts)!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With his hands clasped behind his back, Cheng Yu advanced step by step. Beneath his feet lay the corpses of Sword-Forging Manor disciples, while around him laborers fled in agitated relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Sword-Forging Manor Steward with Fifth Rank strength stepped out from an exquisite wooden hut, whip in hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment he saw the laborers scattering in all directions, he flew into a rage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Have you all gone mad? Are you courting death?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a crack of his whip, several laborers were beaten to death amidst miserable screams.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The nearby laborers were so terrified that they no longer dared move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The steward of Sword-Forging Manor saw clearly the Flying Fish Uniforms and Xiuchun Sabers of the attackers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was instantly beside himself with fury. \"Mere imperial hounds of the court actually dare oppose my Sword-Forging Manor! Kill them!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in the next moment, thunder roared, and frost condensed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blade-light flashed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Xiuchun Saber in Cheng Yu's hand slowly slid back into its sheath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"AHHH!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Sword-Forging Manor steward's hands were severed clean off, and he let out a scream like a pig being slaughtered!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Heh. Weren't you acting quite impressive just now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cheng Yu's cold laugh rang out as he bent down and picked up the whip that had fallen to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>SNAP!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"AAAHHHH!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You like playing with a whip?
