Ye Chu had obtained what he wanted and naturally did not want to stay here for long. I appreciate your kind offer, but this junior still has matters to handle, so I will not disturb senior any further!
Niu Gui was not angry at being rejected. His subordinate had just reported that this was the person brought by Hongkai. Niu Gui believed that this was not someone cultivated by Hongkai, but he did not know how Hongkai had managed to build a connection with such a person.
Since you are unwilling, then I will not force you. After Niu Gui spoke, he no longer entangled with Ye Chu. His voice reached the ears of the crowd. This time quite a few talents have appeared among the young generation. In the future the mines will have people to take over and manage them. I hope everyone works hard to increase their strength and strive for our common homeland.
Yes! Lord Niu Gui! A group of people bowed in respect.
Ye Chu walked up to Hongkai, gave him four Qingyuan Pills, and without any pause he took Ye Jingyun and quickly left outward.
Ye Chu did not want to stay here for long. The value of the ten Qingyuan Pills was too precious. It could drive many people crazy over them. Niu Gui owned so many mines and did not feel heartache, but for other cultivators it was enough to make their eyes burn with envy.
Hurry and go! Ye Chu dragged Ye Jingyun and disappeared into the crowd, but quite a few people secretly followed behind Ye Chu.
The two worked hard to shake off the crowd and then walked out of the city.
Is anyone still following us? Ye Jingyun also knew the value of these few Qingyuan Pills and shouted to Ye Chu.
I do not sense any, but do not let your guard down. Ye Chu dragged Ye Jingyun and ran towards the large mountains outside the city. The mountains had dense trees and were suitable for evading pursuit.
After entering the mountains, Ye Jingyun breathed a sigh of relief, but just as she was about to say something her expression changed. Someone is chasing us!
Ye Chu nodded. He heard the rustling sounds coming from the forest.
Do not speak. Hold your breath. Ye Chus heart jumped. To catch up with them so quickly, their strength must have reached the Xuanming realm. Facing such strong experts, Ye Chu did not dare to underestimate them.
…
Where did those two run to? They robbed my Lingyuan Pills. I want his life and the Qingyuan Pills. The person who came was none other than Qing Hu. His expression was ferocious as he searched around.
Hehe, Qing Hu, you are a堂堂 Xuanming realm cultivator yet you were beaten into serious injury by a Yuanling realm cultivator. Do you still have the face to say that? A cultivator beside Qing Hu sneered with disdain in his expression.
Old Snake, you had better shut your mouth. That guy is stronger than you imagine. He has a set of peerless secret techniques. There is nothing shameful about me not being able to block him. Qing Hu roared and glared angrily at the cultivator beside him.
The person called Old Snake did not mind. He shrugged and smiled. I watched that kid fight Niu Hei. His strength is decent, but compared to the Xuanming realm there is still a world of difference. You yourself are not capable, yet you do not allow others to say it.
Shut up! Qing Hu was ashamed and angry. He struck out with a palm towards Old Snake, but it was blocked by Old Snake with a backhand.
What? You want to fight me? I would be happy to accompany you, but if that kid runs far away, the Qingyuan Pills you want will be gone. Without the Qingyuan Pills, I wonder what you will use to explain to Lord Niu Gui. Old Snake said with a laugh.
Qing Hu looked ferocious and stared fixedly at Old Snake. In the end he swallowed his anger. He had lost over ten thousand Lingyuan Pills. Without Lingyuan Pills to hand over to Lord Niu Gui, if Lord Niu Gui became furious it was unknown what he would do to him.
The most important thing was that his mine had now been seized by Hongkai. If Lord Niu Gui did not speak up for him, it was impossible for Hongkai to return the mine to him. Without the support of the mine, how could he cultivate? He would only be thrown further and further behind by Hongkai and his group. There would be no place for him to stand in this area.
Have you thought it through? Old Snake said with a sneer. At least you know the situation. How about it? Do you want to follow me? If you follow me, I will share some of the resources trained from the two mines I control.
You are dreaming! Qing Hu snorted. He and Old Snake had once both been mine owners and he had his own dignity. He would absolutely not become his subordinate.
As you wish! But let me say this. Even if you kill that kid, seize the Qingyuan Pills, and hand over the mine taxes that should be paid, Lord Niu Gui may not necessarily speak up for you and make Hongkai return the mine he seized to you. Everyone knows that you and Hongkai have fought to the death and are at odds with each other. Both sides want to swallow the other. Old Snake said with a laugh. If you follow me, at least you can be guaranteed Lingyuan Pills for your cultivation.
I would rather cultivate alone. Even without Lingyuan Pills, I will not be your dog. Qing Hu snorted. There is no benefit in saying more. First kill that kid. Whatever we get, we split it half each.
Old Snake shrugged indifferently, but in his heart he did not care at all. It was just a Yuanling realm cultivator. Dealing with him would be easy.
…
Ye Chu and Ye Jingyun hid in a spot where they could clearly hear their conversation. The two looked at each other with grave expressions. Two Xuanming realm cultivators. They could not confront them at all.
What should we do? Ye Jingyun asked Ye Chu softly. She felt the pressure. Ye Chu could fight one Xuanming realm cultivator, but fighting two was impossible.
Ye Chu naturally knew he had no power to fight two Xuanming realm cultivators. Seeing the two continuously searching for them, he thought they would sooner or later be found.
Kill them! Ye Chu said through gritted teeth. If Qing Hu was not killed, he would be a big trouble.
Ye Jingyun saw Ye Chus expression full of killing intent and was stunned. She naturally wanted to kill them, but these two were Xuanming realm cultivators. How could they kill them?
Even if you use your secret technique and burst out strength comparable to the Xuanming realm, you may not be able to kill them. Ye Jingyun said. She knew Ye Chu could borrow baleful aura to burst out Xuanming realm strength, but even so, killing two would be difficult. At most it would be an even fight.
I have no secret technique! Ye Chu shook his head. If he borrowed the colourful patterned baleful spider to surge his strength right now, he would be tainted with the aura of the Cold Fire Emperor. As long as he used this kind of secret technique, he would reach the king realm and would not be able to control it even if he wanted to.
For two such people, surging his strength to the king realm was simply not worth it.
Follow me! Ye Chu said to Ye Jingyun. Today we must kill them.
Ye Jingyun did not know how Ye Chu could kill them, but she still slowly moved outward with Ye Chu.
Qing Hu and Old Snake searched around. They believed Ye Chu and Ye Jingyun were nearby and definitely would not have escaped too far.
Do you think hiding is useful? Sooner or later we will find you. Qing Hu snorted. His voice shook and startled quite a few flying birds.
Qing Hu waved his arm and many flying birds exploded, with blood falling all around.
One side each. Find them. Qing Hu said to Old Snake. With two Xuanming realm cultivators, that kid had no way to escape.
The two searched and had not searched for long when they heard a rustling sound from one spot. Their gazes shot over fiercely, only to see a woman step out. Seeing this Ye Jingyun, Qing Hu immediately burst into loud laughter.
What? You are not running anymore?
