Chapter 1136: Let’s Use You to Make Up the Numbers!
Seeing the young man’s appearance, the remaining cultivators fell silent.
They naturally understood what the young man was thinking. As a disciple of a sect, he would certainly make contributions to the sect in exchange for benefits. No faction would maintain idle individuals.
Thus, the question Su Yi asked was not a problem for them at all.
In the eyes of the other cultivators, Su Chengfu was truly clever and immediately seized the opportunity with the Overlord Sect.
With merely these three words, not many people in the Chaos Realm would dare to provoke him. The Overlord Sect was like a protective talisman!
“Take your time to consider, and then stand up.”
Su Yi nodded and handed the young man over to Nangong Ningyue, allowing her to arrange Su Chengfu’s duties.
“Sir, I also wish to join the Overlord Sect!”
“I want to join the Overlord Sect too, please accept me, Sir!”
Soon, among the remaining twenty or so scattered cultivators, almost half of them spoke out and addressed Su Yi.
“Master, allow me to handle this matter!”
Nangong Ningyue approached Su Yi and spoke.
“Very well!”
Su Yi didn’t comment further; he simply departed and continued to work diligently with Xi Wuqing.
When it came to recruiting personnel, he couldn’t personally manage everything, and Su Yi didn’t believe that he would necessarily perform as effectively as Nangong Ningyue.
“Those who wish to join the Overlord Sect, step forward, and the rest, go arrange the mining of Yuan Stones.”
Nangong Ningyue promptly began organizing matters. Although there weren’t many individuals, they could still be quite useful.
Among approximately twenty scattered cultivators, roughly thirteen or fourteen of them chose to mine, while the remaining seven or eight wanted to join the Overlord Sect.
In truth, for many scattered cultivators, possessing sufficient strength and choosing not to join a particular faction meant they didn’t want to be constrained; they desired freedom.
As for those with weaker abilities, most factions didn’t consider them worthy, and they were forced to remain solitary.
In a situation where their strength was inadequate, who wouldn’t desire a powerful faction supporting them?
Of course, this isn’t absolute. Just like the thirteen or fourteen scattered cultivators who opted to become miners, they were contemplating whether the Overlord Sect was reliable.
But from current observations, at least Su Yi and the others haven’t deceived them.
Busy within the Feng Ling Mountains, less than a hundred miles away, several people sat in the hall of the third-rate faction, the Sky Spider Sect.
“Elder Xun and the others have been at the mine for several days now, why haven’t we received any information?”
At the front of the hall, a man in his fifties frowned and said in a deep voice.
This person is the leader of the Sky Spider Sect, named Luo Jin.
“I hope nothing unexpected has occurred. We cannot afford any errors in this mine. If others discover it, complications will arise!”
Another elderly person spoke with a serious tone.
“I don’t believe so. The information has been kept extremely confidential. Only a few of us are aware of it. There shouldn’t be any unforeseen problems!”
A middle-aged man below furrowed his brow and pondered aloud.
“We should nonetheless exercise caution. If it becomes known by some third-rate forces, significant troubles could ensue!”
At the front of the hall, the leader of the Sky Spider Sect, Luo Jin, spoke again in a low voice, “Furthermore, if news about this mine reaches second-rate forces, the consequences will be even more severe. So we must be vigilant!”
The people in the hall nodded silently, indicating their agreement.
The Yuan Stone in the mine is very abundant, with many two-star Yuan Stones and quite a few three-star Yuan Stones detected.
If this becomes known, even second-rate powers will covet it and certainly come to claim it.
“Elder Yuan, how are our preparations progressing?”
Above the hall, Luo Jin suddenly looked at an old man and inquired.
“Reporting to the sect leader, everything is prepared, and we can depart soon to mine the Yuan Stone.”
The old man known as Elder Yuan nodded slightly and continued, “However, we still need to plan for the workforce for mining operations.”
Luo Jin nodded after hearing this and said, “We’ll discuss the miners later. When the time comes, send disciples to capture scattered cultivator slaves. All will be arranged!”
He paused and continued, “Since everything is ready, let’s depart as soon as possible. Time is crucial. Elder Yuan and Elder Xun will oversee matters!”
“Yes, sect leader!”
Elder Yuan bowed respectfully and responded seriously.
Elder Xun had already proceeded to the mine beforehand, and they would jointly supervise the overall situation.
“Additionally, to prevent any incidents, I will investigate first to ensure Elder Xun and the others are safe!”
Luo Jin contemplated momentarily and stated this again.
Everyone in the hall concurred, but they also felt that this concern might be excessive.
Firstly, the Sky Spider Sect maintains strict information security, so leakage is almost impossible.
Secondly, even if someone notices something suspicious, with Elder Xun’s cultivation and the hundreds of disciples, handling it should not pose difficulties.
Besides, even if they encounter formidable enemies, they can always transmit a message back, correct?
What the people from the Sky Spider Sect remain unaware of is that Elder Xun and hundreds of others encountered numerous powerful members of the Overlord Sect and were defeated.
They are all unharmed, but now they labor as miners for the Overlord Sect.
After the people in the Sky Spider Sect hall departed, another group exceeding eight hundred individuals assembled together after two hours. They were divided into teams, all mounted on enormous spiders. Led by Elder Yuan, they began journeying towards Fengling Mountain.
“Elder Mu and I will proceed ahead first, and if nothing transpires, we will promptly return!”
Luo Jin, the leader of the Sky Spider Sect, stood in mid-air. Beside him was an elderly man with white hair, also floating in the air, emanating a powerful pressure of the Yuan Emperor Realm.
On Luo Jin’s other side stood a man in his forties wearing golden attire. However, he exhibited a gloomy expression and a sinister aura, which seemed inexplicably frightening.
Even more terrifying was that he possessed eight thin arms protruding from his ribs.
This forty-year-old man’s aura was nearly as powerful as Luo Jin himself, which was truly alarming!
These three individuals led the way and swiftly flew towards the mine like lightning.
Luo Jin sensed that matters might not be straightforward. For caution’s sake, he needed to personally assess the mine’s situation.
The exceptionally swift cultivators could traverse a distance under a hundred miles in no time.
“There are people at the mine!”
As they neared the mine, they perceived movement there.
“They’re outsiders, not members of our Sky Spider Sect!”
Luo Jin gradually furrowed his brows, and as far as he could see, those individuals didn’t match the Sky Spider Sect’s attire whatsoever.
Clearly, something unexpected had occurred!
“Who dares to interfere with the Sky Spider Sect’s important business!”
Elder Mu’s expression turned exceedingly unpleasant, and he spoke coldly.
This mine was vital for the Sky Spider Sect, and they had always been cautious, yet unexpectedly, a problem had arisen.
Upon this realization, the three of them began to feel immensely powerful and increased their speed. They needed to understand the situation.
“Let’s exercise caution!”
After a moment, Luo Jin’s countenance became serious, and he advised.
He recognized something unusual, and the opposition must be formidable; otherwise, Elder Xun wouldn’t have failed to communicate.
With this in mind, the three royal-level strongmen suppressed their intimidating demeanor and entered the mine’s vicinity.
“Who goes there!”
They were all vigilant, but surprisingly, a voice called out before they could react.
In an instant, they witnessed a middle-aged man in purple and a large man in golden attire arrive rapidly and land directly before them.
“Two Beast Emperors!”
Upon seeing these individuals, Luo Jin immediately identified them.
“What powerful Beast Emperors!”
Elder Mu’s face paled; the aura emanating from the purple-clad middle-aged man and the golden-clothed man was overwhelming. With his third-grade cultivation in the Yuan Emperor Realm, he couldn’t resist at all. Breathing even became difficult.
“The scent of the Heavenly Poisonous Spider; it appears you hail from the Sky Spider Sect!”
The purple-clad middle-aged man and the golden-clothed man are the Purple Elephant Emperor and Dragon Rhinoceros Emperor. They observed the three individuals before them and detected a familiar aura from the golden-clad middle-aged man, similar to the Heavenly Poisonous Spiders from the Sky Spider Sect.
Undoubtedly, these three individuals belong to the Sky Spider Sect.
“Who are you people? Where is Elder Xun?”
Luo Jin stepped forward, gazing directly at the Purple Elephant Emperor and Dragon Rhinoceros Emperor without hesitation, and inquired seriously.
“Hehe…”
The Purple Elephant Emperor chuckled lightly and responded calmly, “Are you referring to that gray-bearded old man? Well, he is currently assisting us with mining! And all your disciples from the Sky Spider Sect are present as well, not one is absent!”
The Purple Elephant Emperor understood that the Sky Spider Sect’s strength probably comprised only four or five emperors, so these three arrivals, along with the captured Elder Xun, already constituted most of the peak fighting force of the entire Sky Spider Sect.
Hence, he harbored no fear. For the Overlord Sect, all these third-rate forces were insignificant now. Eliminating them was effortless.
“What?!”
Luo Jin became enraged at the Purple Elephant Emperor’s words. He comprehended that Elder Xun and hundreds of Sky Spider Sect disciples were captured and transformed into laborers by these individuals.
“Who do you think you are, daring to lay hands on members of my Sky Spider Sect!”
Luo Jin’s expression darkened so severely it seemed water might drip from it. Their mines were now occupied, and their sect’s disciples were under control. This provoked uncontrollable anger.
“The Sky Spider Sect is inconsequential!”
The Dragon Rhinoceros Emperor spat directly and declared, “Since the three of you have arrived, you might as well remain. We still require additional laborers for mining Yuan Stone, so we’ll use you to supplement our numbers!”
As he spoke, the Dragon Rhinoceros Emperor stomped fiercely in the air, like a mountain crashing down, generating a powerful tremor!
The surrounding space shook violently as if gripped by an invisible giant hand!
