The mining area division test ended, and Tianshu Pavilion was once again the top winner.

Lyu Liang had thought that it would be a happy event. After all, Tianshu Pavilion once again obtained a ten-year exploration right for the Lu Tian Mineral Vein.

But when the five participants returned to Tianshu Pavilion, they were called to the main hall by Wu Shu Ancestor, even without being allowed to go back to their own cave residence. Everyone, including Fatty Feng looked serious, which made Lyu Liang decidedly nervous.

“Junior Brother, we have obtained the exploring rights of the Lu Tian Mineral Vein, but this is just the beginning of the tough work! When we get there, you will know how insignificant the final test is… Forget it, you’d better not go there… ” Fatty Feng was not as straightforward as he was before, he faltered as he was speaking and then stopped talking. A long time later, he said, “After the Ancestor talks to us, I will talk to you separately!”

After a while, Ancestor Wu Shu and Ancestor Wen Shu came in together. Ancestor Tian Shu had been badly injured in the previous test, and was recovering through closed door meditation.

“Since you are all here, I will put it straight to you. Apart from Man Zi’s participation for the first time, several of you have participated for at least a second time! You are all familiar with the fatal environment in the mining area. Youcheng has been there for three times, so this time you’d better remain here!” Ancestor Wu Shu was as capable as he was before. He scanned over them and then fixing his eyes on Lyu Liang, said, “Man Zi, the Dead Mining Area, as its name implies, is a fatal place. Now it is no secret that you have the Spiritual Body. If you go there, you will certainly suffer more distress than the others! If you want to avoid it, I will go to the Dark Reign to explain in person!”

“According to the rules, each sect that has obtained the mining qualification in the mining area, must send four of the five people who have participated in the previous fight. Only if this number can’t reach five, then will others from the same sect be sent out. Despite the unsmiling manner of Wu Shu Ancestor, he was actually the most able of the three masters. If he is willing to stand up for you, you still have the chance to quit.” Feng Mazi explained it very clearly this time.

Lyu Liang felt warm in his heart again. But he knew that he was not a real member of Tianshu Pavilion. His purpose to take part in the final test was to gain access to the mining area, so if he did not go because of danger… Then would he have spared such an effort to become a disciple of Tianshu Pavilion?

“Thanks for your kindness, Master! But I am not scared. Tianshu Pavilion takes good care of me, so I want to contribute to Tianshu Pavilion too! I will definitely go to the Dead Mining Area! Don’t feel bewildered, master!” Lyu Liang patted his chest and uttered the half-real words.


“Good! Now that you have decided, let’s do it! But remember, within five days, before you go to the mining area, you have the right to change your decision! As long as you don’t want to go, just tell me!” Ancestor Wu Shu was moved, and said the words seriously.

“Five days later, you will gather at the entrance of the Lie Valley in the eastern part of the inner circle. Feng Qingfeng will be the leader and Meng Yun, Yan Zidao, and Man Zi follow him. You four will form the exploring team of Tianshu Pavilion in the mining area in the following ten years. Qingfeng, hopefully you continue having the good luck, and bring the four members back!” Ancestor Wen Shu grinned, as he said these startling words.

“Understood! I will certainly live up to master’s instructions!” Feng Mazi rarely showed his serious side. After bowing deeply to show his respects, he turned back to Lyu Liang and secretly transmitted a voice message, “Each time, our Tianshu Pavilion will send four people. Except for the last time, there had been deaths and injuries in all the previous explorations. In the most serious of the two expeditions, all the members failed to come back. Of course, even so, our situation is much better than the others. So now you understand? This is why it is called the death ‘mining area’!

Hearing his words, Lyu Liang was shocked. Now, he finally understood why Yang Ying and Wen Ying were so eager to release their clansman from the mining area. Even Tianshu Pavilion, where they were so many elites, found it hard to deal with such a harsh situation. It would be much tougher for the slaves who had low abilities.

……

After returning from the main hall, Lyu Liang followed Feng Mazi to his cave residence, where he hoped to learn more about the Northern Mining Area.

Lyu Liang spent the next day listening to the torrent of words from Feng Mazi…

The Northern Mining Area was called the Dead Mining Area because of its harsh environment. Why it was so “dangerous”? It was dangerous both in nature and humanity.

First, the natural environment there was extremely dangerous!

All the mining veins in the Dead Mining Area were deep underground and in some strange space, formed naturally. Once the miners entered it, they will not only be disturbed by certain space laws, but also have to be wary of being attacked and killed by the strange creatures unique to the mining area.

This strange creature was a gray mist of air, which was obviously characterized by two light yellow spots. Their attacking methods were varied. What they had in common, was that they could transform into anything.

The most important thing to take note was that this kind of creature had certain spiritual intelligence and extremely high cultivation. It was not limited by the Power of Law in the region, and was extremely aggressive.

Feng Mazi had encountered them once. He managed to elude them for three days and three nights, without even fighting with them. Because at that time in the mining vein, his cultivation was only at the Peak of the Almighty Immortal period. As for the creature, it was exactly at the Late-stage of the Supreme Master period…

The only thing that gave Lyu Liang a little comfort, was that this creature, no matter what kind of cultivation it had, did not move too fast. In addition, their numbers seemed to be small, and it was not very commonly seen.

If it was just in terms of the natural environment, it was not fatal enough. But what really made the mining area “dead”, were the evil hearts of human beings!

And next was the introduction of the humanity environment.

The most famous place was called the Lawlessness Zone. Except for the Plain Girl Pavilion which they were all afraid of, there was always intrigue between them.

There was a rule in the mining area, that was, no one was allowed to cross the border and explore the places of the other sects. Otherwise, if there was a conflict, the one that killed you would not be punished!

Originally this rule appeared with good intentions, but because of the strange Space Law in the mining vein, its original intent was completely changed…

Most of the time, because of this Power of Law, the miners of one sect were originally digging in their own areas, but an hour later, when they came back by the same road, they were in the territory of the other sects. What awaited them was a group of savage strong men with sharp teeth, who were ready to kill them and seize the treasures!

In addition, there were many sinister people who would bring these kind of strange creatures to the other sect’s territory. This was really a heinous act!

In general, the Northern Mining Area was called the Dead Mining Area, both because of the natural reason and human reason.

“Senior brother, why are we miners? What about those who are enslaved by us? What are they doing?” There was still one thing that Lyu Liang did not understand.

“Those inferior ones? They are just explorers on the periphery of the mining vein, and responsible for cleaning up garbage and finding out the existence of that strange creature. When it comes to exploiting the natural resources and treasures, it must be elite sects like us who are qualified to enter the inner field!” After saying that, Feng Mazi sighed “the more treasures we dig out, the more likely we will be interrupted by the Space Law. We will either appear on the territory of other sects, or attract those strange creatures. Anyway, you should remember, no matter what you dig out, you should protect it in the first place! If you appear in someone else’s territory, don’t hesitate to run back to your own! If you meet with a strange creature, run to the exit, and those monsters can only survive inside the mining vein. The last time I was so unfortunate to have entered the deep place of the mining vein and met with two such creatures, and that’s why I had to run for three days and three nights! This is your first time to enter it, so try to walk on the periphery!”

Later, because Lyu Liang himself had such an enticing hot item as the Spiritual Body, Feng Mazi specifically told him to stay in seclusion, “Each sect has its own absolute territory in the mining area. As long as you are inside your own one, no outside person can do anything to you.”

One day later, Lyu Liang returned to his own cave residence to digest Feng Mazi’s words, and at the same time, he went to the Heaven-Burning Xumi Formation to specifically remind Linglong, to prevent her from appearing easily.

Although the little girl nodded obediently, but from the slight cunning look in her eyes, Lyu Liang could still read a unique message of “as long as you are not in danger, I will listen to you”.

Since the last time, the two lived like a couple. Lyu Liang simply opened up his mind and truly took Linglong as the person to care for in his whole life. Seeing that she was recovering day by day, Lyu Liang naturally felt happy.

However, he did not know whether it was an illusion or not. On Linglong’s increasingly bright and smiling face, he always inadvertently found a trace of loneliness and gloom. Every time he wanted to take a closer look, he found nothing…

What he did not notice was that every time he saw Linglong, Black felt awkward and had complicated feelings…

……

At the same time, at the headquarters of the Yue Feng Nest Meeting, the bearded man was solemnly saying something. On his opposite side stood Nie Qingyun, who nodded or shook his head at times, revealing a resolute look.

“Do you really want to go? In fact, as I have said when we first met, you can take the lead to go to the west by yourself and rescue Master Wu Meng, with your master. The mining area is too dangerous, and we are not quite sure whether we can protect you as well as we can here!” The bearded man shook his head and sighed. He also knew that no matter how dangerous the situation was, Nie Qingyun would not give up.

“Thank you for your care all this time. I, Nie Qingyun, will always remember your kindness! This time, I will go and meet with my master in the mining area. As long as I can help him to achieve his wish, we will immediately go to the west! ” Nie Qingyun cupped his hands to show his respect, and then turned around to go out. When he reached the door, he suddenly paused and asked softly, “Still, can’t tell me your name?”

Seeing that the man had no intention to answer him, Nie Qingyun sighed and went out, disappearing out of the door.

“… Not now, but soon. At that time, I hope you can think of more than just me, Yue Li… !” The bearded man directly kneeled to show respect toward the empty door…

A moment later, when he got up again, he resumed his usual steady state, and coughed softly. And then two black figures appeared behind him.

One of them was wearing a snow white robe of the Sword Character Immortal Palace. He was Zhang Ran, and his real identity was the Chi Liu Saint God of the Hell Organization!

Lyu Liang would have been familiar with the other one, too. He was World Devastating Deity, who was the weird old monk, who wanted to rob his Great Manual of Divine Soul.

“This is the secret you are trying to hide? Hum, now, do you believe me?” The World Devastating Deity glanced at the door, revealing some dissatisfaction in his tone.

“It’s a matter of great importance, I can understand. Since we are here, let’s assign the task. ” Zhang Ran looked calm and indifferent.

“The mining area is not peaceful, and our strength is limited. So I asked you two leaders for help. To make a long story short, Chi Liu, you are responsible for protecting the milord outside the mining vein. Mie Shi, you are responsible for the protection of the adults inside the mining vein.” The bearded man looked solemn, “Mie Shi, your task is especially important. If the milords are really in danger, use your talent to escape first, and don’t be involved in any fight!”

……

When all parties were trying to gather in the Dead Mining Area, far away in the Goddess Nyu Wa space, inside the territory of the Wu-Ji Five Lords, Tai Chu Ancestor Lord looked serious. He was facing a blue light ball, and above the ball, a drifting virtual figure was saying something.

“I see, and will try as what you have said. But if you fail, you will be exposed to more risks!”

“Don’t worry, as long as one of us can hide our identity, we can always have a spy in the Hell Organization. This opportunity is very good this time, and the person in charge is just me. Let’s have a last try in the mining area! It’s a done deal!”

“… In that case, I will arrange as what you have said. However, promise me that if there is any sign of failure, the plan should be stopped immediately! Besides, no matter what the final result is, I hope you can be safe. If there is no need, don’t expose yourself!”

“Ha ha, that depends on whether my plan can succeed. If so designed, he can still escape… Well, someone is coming, that’s all.”

Seeing the gradually dimming light ball, Tai Chu Ancestor Lord finally sighed, “No matter how I figure, it always show the sign of a changeable illusion! Six Tao! Let me wait and see which one is stronger? Your reincarnation or our strategy for hundreds of thousands of years… ”
