“Oh!” Jian Wushuang raised his eyebrows, excitedly saying, “Then I thank the City Lord!”

“It’s a trivial matter.”

The two stood up and continued their mining.

Jian Wushuang didn’t hurry to leave and search for Nie Yuan. The place was vast, and finding Nie Yuan in the cramped caves was not easy.

Moreover, searching for Nie Yuan at this moment would undoubtedly expose his identity.

His two avatars had already been discovered, and Vice Hall Master Zhong was probably frantically searching for him.

This place was also Vice Hall Master Wu Shan’s territory, and he likely had set up a tight net. Once anyone suspicious appeared around Nie Yuan, they would surely suspect him.

He had already discussed this with Gong Miaoyi long ago, advising her not to be impatient.

Patience was necessary.

At least wait until Shen Ling contacted him secretly before taking drastic measures.

With the help of Shen Ling, he could confront the powerful beings residing here.

The true forms of the three Palace Masters could descend at any time. If Shen Ling wanted him, he would have to bring in Fuego personally.

At that time, everything would be left to Zhen Ling, and he would consider his mission accomplished.

Unfortunately, nothing was that simple.

In Hanzhou, Mirrorlight City.

Inside a mansion of the Xiao Family.

“Haha, Brother Zhong, I heard you came back empty-handed in the Eastern Province!” Wu Shan sat in the main seat, accompanied by a breathtakingly beautiful woman, the Xiao Family’s young lady whom even Wu Shan had married.

Vice Hall Master Zhong, upon hearing Wu Shan’s mockery, remained composed. He simply took a sip of tea and calmly said, “Wu Shan, spare me the sarcasm. Unlike you, I must capture Jian Wushuang!”

“Hmm, as if I haven’t put in any effort!” Wu Shan sneered, shaking his head.

Although the two hadn’t openly confronted each other, their relationship was far from ordinary.

Wu Shan’s original Dao Companion was the elder sister of Vice Hall Master Zhong, who happened to be the main wife. Unfortunately, she perished in ancient times during the construction of the Qishen Temple.

Otherwise, Wu Shan wouldn’t dare take a concubine; he would have shattered the concubine’s head.

Even now, with his sister-in-law gone, seeing Wu Shan with a new love made Vice Hall Master Zhong uneasy.

“What’s the situation inside the mine now?” Vice Hall Master Zhong turned to the main topic. In his view, Jian Wushuang had probably entered the mine, likely the Space Fire Abyssal Mountain in the Cold Province (Hanzhou).

Wu Shan took out a jade slip from his sleeve and handed it over, saying, “This is the list of people who have recently entered the mine. I plan to take them all down, leaving no one behind!”

In the past ten years or so, around tens of thousands had entered the Space Fire Abyssal Mountain, with Emperor-level individuals numbering 1,242.

The rest were mostly Dao Lords.

Vice Hall Master Zhong had ruthless means and a cruel heart.

However, due to Jian Wushuang, directly exterminating all these people brought some concerns.

It wasn’t because of a soft heart but rather the honor of the Law Enforcement Hall.

Unlike Wu Shan, Vice Hall Master Zhong would never tarnish the reputation of the Enforcement Hall.

How could they justify killing all these people?

They couldn’t publicly announce it; it would be better to mistakenly kill ten thousand than let one go!

By then, some with ulterior motives might follow suit, and their Enforcement Hall would be no different from the demonic path.

“Let’s observe in secret first!” Vice Hall Master Zhong stood up and walked straight out, saying as he walked, “Don’t underestimate Jian Wushuang. His physical body is unique; he might have changed his identity again!”

Wu Shan, sitting in the main seat, was momentarily stunned and exclaimed, “Isn’t that too eerie? Within the mining area, the Universe Origin Source monitors everything. Can he shield himself from that?”

“Nothing is impossible. Don’t forget, he’s only a Dao Lord!” Leaving these words behind, Vice Hall Master Zhong left Mirrorlight City with his entourage.

He didn’t have the leisurely mindset of Wu Shan.

Since they couldn’t find him, they decided to kill two birds with one stone and first control Nie Yuan.

Upon receiving news of the fall of Tie San and learning that Jian Wushuang had fled with Gong Miaoyi, the Chang Feng Sword God speculated that Jian Wushuang would definitely go to the mining area to rescue Gong Miaoyi’s father.

He immediately informed Vice Hall Master Zhong.

However, this matter fell under the jurisdiction of the Enforcement Hall, and even if he were the Palace Master, he couldn’t intervene.

His younger brother was killed, and his Dao Companion was taken away; this was an irreconcilable enmity.

Not personally coming to kill was already quite restrained.

In the mine.

Vice Hall Master Zhong’s guess was spot on; Jian Wushuang was indeed considering adopting a new identity.

City Lord Feng seemed like a suitable candidate.

He elicited a lot of information from the City Lord Feng and now only lacked an opportunity to instantly eliminate him.

This place had powerful rule forces, making it difficult for Jian Wushuang to act rashly.

A decade passed in the blink of an eye, and they, a few individuals, started to return, preparing to go back and recuperate. The consecutive mining had taken its toll.

City Lord Feng had a good harvest this time, with dozens of pounds of gains. Not only did he complete the mission objective, but he also earned some merit points.

Now, Jian Wushuang could be considered to have joined forces with him, naturally leaving together.

At the same time, he communicated with Gong Miaoyi, asking her to come along.

At this moment, one couldn’t afford to recklessly seek Nie Yuan as a father, or everything would be ruined if discovered by the Enforcement Hall.

Returning to the Dragon Image Dao Arena, Gong Miaoyi was waiting there.

“City Lord Feng, let me introduce you. This is my Dao Companion, White Aura!” Jian Wushuang walked ahead, pulled Gong Miaoyi over, and introduced her to City Lord Feng.

City Lord Feng revealed a smile and praised, “Well, not bad. No wonder the two of you have made a name for yourselves in the northwest. Your strength is almost reaching the peak-level tier 4. Keep up the good work!”

They expressed gratitude and then followed City Lord Feng to deliver the Space Fire Abyssal Stones.

The place for delivering the stones was a small black hole. You just needed to throw the mined Space Fire Abyssal Stones in, and the quantity would appear on your own token.

This black hole was one-way; you could throw things in but couldn’t take them out. No one knew where the black hole led to. Only some emperors who couldn’t bear it would jump in, and the next day, their bodies would be hanging next to the Dragon Image.

Jian Wushuang, who had originally planned to pay attention to the Space Fire Abyssal Stones, gave up.

It was simply impossible. His little trick was not enough.

He had thought too simplistically. This wasn’t the treasure vault of the Xuanyuan family; it was one of the crucial places among the Four Great Secret Realms. How could it be so easy to infiltrate?

After delivering all the Space Fire Abyssal Stones, the group dispersed, agreed on the next mining time, and returned to their respective secret rooms.

Here, one was relatively free. You could choose not to mine, but not mining also meant you could never leave.

Jian Wushuang and Gong Miaoyi entered the same secret room and then set up a barrier.

But this was not enough. Jian Wushuang’s Thought power infiltrated Gong Miaoyi’s Origin Source.

The two sat facing each other in the Origin Source and began discussing the information they had gathered.
