Chapter 194
The female cultivator that Xiao Jingting followed was an undercover agent sent by another sect so without Xiao Jingting’s urging, the female cultivator snooped around for information, which saved Xiao Jingting a lot of trouble.
“Elder martial sister Wang! I hear you’re going out on a task?”
Wang Tingfei nodded and said, “Yes!”
“I heard that elder martial sister’s task this time is very hard!” The female cultivator spoke with some sympathy.
“Yes it is,” Wang Tingfei frowned.
In order to facilitate the management of the mine, all the cultivators who entered the mine were forced to wear the forbidden spirit ring so their spiritual power would be sealed. In this way, the management became better, but the safety of these miners could not be guaranteed.
Recently, in the mine, unidentified creatures came out, so many miners were lost.
The sect did not care about the life and death of those people, but the problem was that Foundation Building cultivators were not easy to replenish. The Devil Blood Sect’s action of capturing Foundation Building cultivators was already observed by other sects, so in order to ensure the supply of spiritual stones, the safety of the miners must be guaranteed. Wang Tingfei was sent to the island to maintain order and fight those unknown creatures in the mine by the way.
“It seems that it’s going to be hard for elder martial sister. Unfortunately, this younger sister’s ability is limited, so she can’t help senior sister.” The female cultivator spoke with a downcast voice.
Wang Tingfei laughed and changed the subject, “This jade pendant around your neck is nice!”
The female cultivator smiled and said, “If elder martial sister likes it, I can give it to senior sister.”
Wang Tingfei very calmly accepted the female cultivator’s kindness. Seeing that the jade pendant was transferred to Wang Tingfei’s hand, Xiao Jingting could not help but breathe a sigh of relief. In Xiao Jingting’s opinion, this task of Wang Tingfei was most likely related to his sons’ disappearance.
If this female cultivator was not among the list of travelers, he would also find a way to make the jade pendant disappear from her to the hands of a person assigned to this task. However, since Wang Tingfei took fancy to this jade pendant, it would save him a lot of effort.
Wang Tingfei took the jade pendant and studied it for a while. After seeing nothing special about it, she put it away.
……
A few days later, Wang Tingfei and others were summoned to the legendary island.
Xiao Jingting who followed Wang Tingfei snuck to the destination.
Before Wang Tingfei’s group could settle down, someone hurriedly reported that the mine was infested with demon corpses.
When Wang Tingfei’s group just arrived, they immediately participated in suppression of the siege of the demon corpses.
Through the jade pendant, Xiao Jingting saw the scene outside. The body shape of the demon corpse was similar to that of a human, but it was covered with exuberant hair. The demon corpses’ wisdom was low, but since they were not afraid of death, fighting them was very difficult.
Due to the presence of various demon corpses in the mine, a lot of miners were lost. Remaining miners were gathered in one place, without doing anything.
Xiao Jingting who hid in Wang Tingfei’s bag accidentally found his two sons among the miners.
Because of their young age, Xiao Xiaofan and Xiao Xiaodong were shorter than the surrounding cultivators and looked a bit out of place.
Seeing Lei Xuan beside Xiao Xiaofan, Xiao Jingting couldn’t help feeling a little strange. He originally thought that Lei Xuan’s feelings for his own sons were because he was still young and ignorant, but, seeing that Lei Xuan knew about the danger but still joined the task without hesitation and accompanied his son to get stuck here, he couldn’t help feeling a little impressed by Lei Xuan.
In the jade pendant space.
Xu Muan looked at Xiao Jingting and asked somewhat eagerly, “How is it? Have you seen our sons?”
The jade pendant space belonged to Xiao Jingting. Xu Muan could hide in jade pendant space, but he could not tell what was going outside but Xiao Jingting could. During this period of time, all the news Xu Muan received was told to him by Xiao Jingting.
Xiao Jingting nodded and said, “You can rest assured, I just saw them. They are fine and still alive.” They were just a little darker and thinner, especially his younger son. He looked too thin, and it seemed that the food here was not good.
Xiao Jingting saw several miners with whip wounds and could not help frowning. Not only the Devil Blood Sect but also all major sects keep mine slaves. The mine slave status was surprisingly low and generally at Qi Practice realm, but in Devil Blood Sect’s side, they were all clearly at Foundation Building realm.
Xiao Jingting hid in the jade pendant space. After Wang Tingfei and others stopped the siege, they were all gathered by several Golden Core cultivators. Xiao Jingting followed Wang Tingfei and heard some speculations of the Devil Blood Sect’s top members.
The Devil Blood Sect speculated that these demon corpses in the mine might be the miners who had died in the mines over the years. After these miners were nourished by the evil spirit and spiritual energy, they mutated into demon corpses.
The senior member of Devil Blood Sect guessed that this cave was not only rich in mineral resources but there also might be some great opportunities hidden in it.
The Devil Blood Sect attached great importance to this spirit stone mine, and sent a number of Golden Core cultivators to come here.
……
After the demon corpses in the mine were cleared, Xiao Xiaofan and the others were driven to mining again.
“We have to be careful, although the demon corpses were cleared, who knows when they will come out again,” Xiao Xiaodong said.
Lei Xuan pondered for a moment and said, “I heard that this mine has several levels and those demon corpses all emerged out from the lower level. The demon corpses that emerged recently were all on Qi Practice or Foundation Building and didn’t have any intelligence. However, it’s said that there are Golden Core demon corpses below.”
