　　Hearing the shout, Wu Qing’s figure stiffened, and then he slowly turned around and saw a group of people walking behind him.
　　The leading youth had long hair tied up, and there were a few strands of white hair on his temples, looking a bit evil and charming.
　　”Fifth brother, it’s really you…”
　　The youth smiled and said, “Usually, you are always surrounded by people. Today, you are only followed by two people. I almost didn’t recognize you.”
　　”Wu Yang, why are you here？” Wu Qing said with a smile.
　　“Fifth Brother forgot. Father ordered me to lead people to guard near the mine to prevent some small fry from having covetous hearts for our Wu family’s mine！” Wu Yang said with a smile： “This Saint Stone vein is extremely rare within the Xuanyuan Domain. Sooner or later, the news will spread. In case there are things that don’t know how to live or die and want to come and rob, we have to guard against it！”
　　Wu Qing smiled and said： “That’s the truth.”
　　“Why did Fifth Brother come？”
　　“Oh, I’m also worried that something might go wrong, so I brought people to take a look. By the way…” Wu Qing coughed softly and said： “Recently, when wooing people’s hearts, the Saint Stones in my hand are not enough.”
　　Hearing this, Wu Yang immediately reacted and said with a smile： “Fifth Brother has indeed been very busy recently and should also take some Saint Stones to use…”
　　“That’s right.”
　　Wu Qing smiled and said： “Then you are busy with yours. Fifth Brother won’t delay you.”
　　“I’ll go with Fifth Brother！” Wu Yang said： “Coincidentally, I also want to go and talk to Senior Fang and Senior Wang about some situations.”
　　“Oh？” Wu Qing was stunned and said： “Isn’t this Saint Stone vein guarded by Keqing Fang Zhengxuan？ Did Keqing Wang Guiji also come？”
　　“Yes！” Wu Yang said with a smile： “At present, there is nothing more precious than this first-level Saint Stone vein in our Wu family’s territory…”
　　At this point, Wu Yang leaned closer to Wu Qing and said with a smile, “Fifth brother, I heard from Senior Gui Ji that if this vein is fully mined, at least tens of millions of first-grade holy stones can be mined. Tens of millions! If our Wu family digests these holy stones and uses them for the cultivation of our family’s disciples, and goes to the Four Directions Realm to buy holy weapons, holy pills, and holy formulas, then how many Heavenly and Earthly Sages will be cultivated？ How many Great Sages and Lesser Sages？”
　　Speaking of this, Wu Yang said excitedly, “Fifth brother, the glorious era of our Wu family has arrived！”
　　This time, by uniting all parties to wipe out the Star-Picking Academy, the entire Xuanyuan Domain will be reshuffled. And in another hundred years or a thousand years, we will be the top figures in the Xuanyuan Domain. By that time, the manpower and material resources of our Wu family will reach their peak！”
　　Looking at Wu Yang’s excitement, Wu Qing felt bitter in his heart.
　　Don’t think about a hundred or a thousand years from now. Think about the present first. Can’t you see that there is something wrong with your fifth brother？
　　Wu Qing didn’t dare to give Wu Yang any hint. He was worried that Ye Wu Shuang would notice and directly kill them both.
　　So.
　　All the way towards the vein area, Wu Yang’s tone was excited from time to time, and he had already had an extremely beautiful vision and assumption for the future.
　　Finally, the group of people arrived at the so-called holy stone vein area.
　　In front, one tall mountain after another stood tall, and at the foot of the mountains, one pit after another was dug.
　　From time to time, people went in and out of the cave, either pulling a handcart or carrying a dustpan.
　　Wu Qing and Wu Yang were both core disciples of the Wu family and could freely enter and exit this place. Naturally, no one dared to stop them.
Soon, the group entered a cave and walked downward. Along the way, there were one cave after another. Those caves were connected together to form a passage of tunnels. connected to each other.
　　At this moment, the people of the Wu family were busy shuttling back and forth among them.
　　The sacred stone vein needed to be mined, and this was no easy task.
　　After the sacred stones in the vein were mined, impurities needed to be removed, and then they were divided into evenly sized particles and then sealed to prevent the spiritual energy in the sacred stones from leaking out…
　　During this period, there was one procedure after another, all of which needed to be carried out step by step and could not be messed up.
　　Ye Wu Shuang raised his eyebrows when he saw the people of the Wu family busy going in and out.
　　“How long have you been mining this vein？” Ye Wu Shuang asked.
　　Wu Qing immediately said, “It’s been about two months, and we have already mined millions of first-grade sacred stones…”
　　In fact, what Wu Yang said earlier was quite right. This first-level sacred stone vein was enough for their Wu family to cultivate one little saint and one great saint after another in the next hundred or thousand years. With good luck, maybe a few more heaven and earth saints could be added.
　　After all, looking at the entire Xuanyuan Domain, there has been no news of a sacred stone vein appearing anywhere so far.
　　Listening to Wu Qing’s explanation, Ye Wu Shuang stepped towards a corridor.
　　Wu Qing didn’t say much either and quickly followed.
　　Wu Yang led the people and followed behind, looking surprised.
　　He had always thought that this young man in white and the woman in black were the bodyguards of his fifth brother Wu Qing. Looking at it this way, they weren’t？ Then who were they？
　　And looking at the attitude of his fifth brother, it seemed rather respectful？
　　As Ye Wu Shuang stepped into the corridor, Wu Qing and the others followed. After turning left and right several times, they came to a rock wall deep in the corridor.
　　The rock wall in front of them was left after mining. The rock wall was dark red, like red agate.
　　Ye Wu Shuang walked forward and gently stroked it with his palm, feeling a trace of warmth.
　　“Huh？”
　　Ye Wu Shuang raised his eyebrows.
　　Immediately, Ye Wu Shuang left this place and came to another corridor. At the end, it was still a dark red rock wall, which was also very warm.
　　“What’s going on？” Ye Wu Shuang asked： “Why is the mined corridor dark red and still a bit warm？”
　　Wu Qing immediately said： “It has always been like this. The rock wall is dark red and there is nothing strange about it. As for the warmth, maybe this place is not ventilated？”
　　“Are you stupid？” Ye Wu Shuang said instead. “This place has been dug by your Wu family to be connected in all directions and to the ground. How could it not be ventilated？”
　　“This…”
　　Wu Qing actually wasn’t very clear either. However, in the past two months, the high-ranking members of the Wu family had explored it all and there was no abnormality. Although he was a direct descendant of the Wu family, he was only at the initial stage of the Great Sage realm after all. He wasn’t qualified to know the most core decisions.
　　Ye Wu Shuang didn’t waste any more words and continued to walk in several passageways, not even bothering about Wu Qing, Wu Yang and the others.
Soon, Wu Qing and Wu Yang led people walking in the passageways and then lost the trace of Ye Wu Shuang and Qi Ying Xue.
Fifth, brother, who are those two people? Wu Yang hurriedly asked.
　　“The people who kidnapped me！” Wu Qing immediately said. “I went to the Ling Ju Lou today and met these two people. This brat killed the people beside me in a few moves and forced me to bring him in.”
　　“Ah？” Wu Yang’s face changed.
　　Wu Qing continued, “Don’t just say ‘ah’. Hurry up and notify father. Do you know who this brat is？”
　　“Who？”
　　“Ye　Wu　Shuang！”
　　Upon hearing these three words, Wu Yang was even more confused.
　　Ye　Wu　Shuang！
　　The Ye Wu Shuang from the Zhai Xing Academy！
　　Wasn’t he with a woman and just destroyed the Chi Huo Mansion yesterday? Why did he come to the Wu family today?
　　But obviously, this is not the time to think about this matter for the time being.
　　”Fifth brother, come with me！” Wu Yang said hastily.
　　”I can’t come with you！”
　　Wu Qing shook his head and said： “He put a talisman on my soul. If he doesn’t relieve it for me once within an hour, I will surely die. You go and find father quickly and don’t worry about me！”
　　Upon hearing this, Wu Yang understood the severity of the matter, nodded, and then left.
　　Wu Qing looked at the hundreds and thousands of corridors here, densely packed, and for a while, he also had a headache.
　　Is Ye Wu Shuang too bold?
　　Looking around, he actually forgot about him. Doesn’t that guy really worry about his own life？
　　After all, this is the territory of the Wu family！
