Chapter 248: Don’t Dig Anymore
At this moment, Ji Yang was completely unaware of the situation and was lost in the joy of mining.
He continuously unearthed chunks of the best Demon Spirit Ore. Although the quality of the light points decreased afterwards, they were still Blue Light Points.
Ji Yang only saw his cultivation points skyrocketing and didn’t have the time to pay attention to the exact amount.
Beside him, Xuanwu was grinning from ear to ear; he had enough pills for the next six months!
“Senior Sister Ning is just ahead!”
Soon, the figures of several people arrived as expected, entering the mine where Ji Yang was located.
“Where is he?”
Ren Yuning looked into the empty mine ahead and asked the overseer beside her.
“He was right here! I was just here earlier.”
The overseer appeared confused, and he glanced around the mine, but Ji Yang was nowhere to be seen.
This made him feel somewhat flustered; could something have gone wrong?
“How dare you deceive the young lady!”
The maidservant remarked coldly.
The overseer’s face turned pale at once, and he hurriedly replied,
“I absolutely did not mean to deceive Senior Sister Ning! The mine is heavily guarded outside; there is no way he could have escaped!”
After hearing this, Ren Yuning fell silent and looked down, where she saw the spying artifact she had placed earlier, untouched.
Recalling that she had seen Ji Yang’s figure mining in the water mirror before she left, Ren Yuning, deep in thought, took out the other half of the spying artifact again.
Soon, a layer of water mist gathered before everyone’s eyes once more.
When Ren Yuning looked into the water mirror, Ji Yang’s figure was still seen mining in the distance.
Seeing this, Ren Yuning’s expression darkened.
She had been deceived!
Ji Yang had not worked that hard mining at all; he must have discovered her artifact and used it as a cover.
Feeling tricked, Ren Yuning was very angry!
Meanwhile, the overseer also sensed something was wrong and quickly called other disciples, preparing to search the mine thoroughly to find Ji Yang’s whereabouts.
Just as everyone was about to scatter, Ren Yuning raised her hand:
“Wait!”
After saying that, Ren Yuning walked toward the front of the mine.
With a gentle strike, a wall at the front of the mine suddenly collapsed.
Behind the fallen wall were several tunnels leading to different places.
From the quality of the ores beside these tunnels, it was clear they were recent works.
“This…”
The overseer beside them looked astonished!
In just a few days, that person had already dug so many mine tunnels in the Demon Spirit Mine, and they had not noticed a thing.
Thinking of this, the overseer’s face turned pale. Regardless of whether Ji Yang could be found, he was surely in big trouble.
Right now, he could only make up for his previous mistakes by finding Ji Yang.
However, at this moment, Ren Yuning had an excited expression.
Her guess was indeed correct; Ji Yang had a scheme.
He pretended to surrender but was actually planning something else.
This person was too cunning and had deceived not only her but also the others in the Demon Spirit Mine.
Fortunately, she had arrived early. Given the length and depth of this mine, it was impossible to dig through in just a few days, so Ji Yang must still be inside.
Realizing this, Ren Yuning immediately said to the maidservant beside her:
“Let’s split up and search!”
The observant overseer quickly had all the disciples in the Demon Spirit Mine stand ready, ensuring no one could escape. He also dispatched many disciples to surround the mine where Ji Yang was located.
Inside the Demon Spirit Mine, many cultivators watched in confusion as the demonic path cultivators moved in force toward the mine, unsure of what was happening.
The disciples of the He Dao Sect were even more panicked.
If they had worried too much before, now that so many demonic path cultivators were entering, armed with magical artifacts and in a state of alert, it was clear that something big was happening in the mine, which left them no room for doubt.

“Hey, kid, stop digging! They’re coming in soon!”
Ji Yang was still lost in the joy of mining until a middle-aged man’s voice suddenly came from the copper mirror on him, prompting him to stop.
“They? Who?”
Ji Yang asked in confusion. As he sensed with his primordial spirit energy, his expression slightly changed, and he began to understand who they were.
Among them were several Nascent Soul Stage cultivators.
The girl walking in the middle felt strangely familiar to him.
But he couldn’t recall ever having any emotional exchanges with a female cultivator.
Then Ji Yang quickly thought of the earlier spying incident, and it struck him that it might be her.
He didn’t expect her appearance to be quite pleasant while engaging in underhanded activities.
Xuanwu, noticing Ji Yang had stopped, also sensed the commotion outside.
Seeing that a considerable number of cultivators were outside, Xuanwu hurriedly said,
“Why don’t you give me the pills first?”
It was only at the Nascent Soul Stage, but as a True Spirit of the heavens and earth, its strength wouldn’t be too weak compared to Spirit Transformation Stage cultivators.
Yet it too felt a sense of danger, indicating that the cultivators outside were not easy to deal with.
At this moment, it was worried about the pills. If Ji Yang were to get killed, all its efforts over the past few days would be in vain.
Seeing Ji Yang not respond, Xuanwu spoke again:
“If not, then you should add more pills. This time, I promise to take you out safely!”
“How about that?”
Although there was some risk, it was worth it for the pills!
“Don’t think about it; we haven’t even finished mining here yet! Let’s wait until they arrive to decide!”
Seeing that Ji Yang valued the ore more than his life, Xuanwu was momentarily stunned.
However, thinking about the best Demon Spirit Ore it had just recorded, Xuanwu disregarded the noise from outside.
If Ji Yang lost his life, so be it; it wasn’t Xuanwu’s problem.
When Ji Yang could no longer fight, it could help collect Ji Yang’s body and leave the mine using its own strength; it was the same thing.
It would just take a little more effort.
With that thought, Xuanwu felt enlightened and continued to record the best Demon Spirit Ore that Ji Yang had mined.
“Miss, we found it! There is a presence of cultivators in this mine tunnel!”
After a few of them inspected several tunnels leading in different directions, they arrived at Ji Yang’s mine.
Looking at the deep tunnel ahead, Ren Yuning did not hesitate and rushed in with several maidservants.
The overseer at the back immediately followed in, reminding the other demonic path cultivators guarding the mine behind him:
“Keep an eye on this place for me. If anyone comes out, immediately send a Transmission to report!”
…
“Clang!”
“Clang!”
“Clang!”
As they walked halfway, the group heard sounds coming from inside.
Ren Yuning frowned and asked the overseer beside her:
“What is that noise?”
As the overseer responsible for guarding the mining site, he could recognize that sound with his eyes closed, and he immediately replied:
“That’s the sound of mining! It’s at least high-quality Demon Spirit Ore!”
After saying that, the overseer felt a little regret; he had been too rash.
What Ji Yang was after must be something significant; why would he come to the Heaven Demon Sect to mine?
But the words had slipped out, and he couldn’t take them back.
Moreover, it certainly sounded like mining!
