Volume 2: Entering Wu with Force Chapter 80: Wu Fa Tong Shen

  Ye Xu suppressed his smile, extremely curious in his heart. The three major families were not on good terms with each other, but this time the masters of the three major families actually joined forces to rush into Eagle Gorge, wondering what big thing had happened.

  "Governor, you've also arrived?"

  Ye Si Dao carefully sized him up for a moment, revealing an approving expression, and said: "You're not bad." He paused and continued: "This time, not only did the three of us come, but all the older generation who have cultivated to the Three Realms in the three major families also rushed over. It's just that our footsteps were quick, so we arrived first."

  Ye Xuheng's heart was even more shocked, he turned his head to look back, and saw that at the entrance of Eagle Gorge, a surge of true yuan rose into the sky, stirring up the heaven and earth's yuanqi, forming one after another visible whirlpool!

  Ye Xiu was stunned, and saw one by one white-haired old men coming in succession. His eyes widened: "Third Uncle Ye Tan, Sixth Uncle Ye Tian, even Second Uncle Ye Zheng who had been closed up in Lianbao Hall refining the witch treasure had arrived!"

  Fang Chen and Zhou Shiwen also found that the old monsters in their families, who had been closed for a long time and would not easily show up, all came out and rushed here!

  Three young people exchanged a glance, shocked beyond measure in their hearts.

  That red-robed old man was none other than the master of the Fang family, Fang Wan-Hao. He had once been beaten by Ye Si-Dao and lay bedridden for three months, but now seemed to have forgotten the feud between their families. Sighing, he said: "We three great families' top experts joined forces to explore Eagle Gorge, it was an unavoidable move. Our three great families' mines were all suddenly depleted overnight, not only could we no longer extract even a single bit of fine iron, but even ordinary iron had vanished without a trace, so we have no choice but to search for new veins."

  The master of the Zhou family, Zhou Wenqing, opened his ears and nodded silently, saying: "Not only Liu Zhou, but also other nearby states and counties, Zhangzhou, Yuezhou, and Quanzhou's mines are all exhausted. The mountains collapsed overnight, becoming flat ground, and countless miners died! If we don't find new mines, I'm afraid that after a hundred years, the three major families will completely decline. Therefore, we have no choice but to join forces and explore Eagle Gorge!"

  "Fang Chen lost his voice and said: 'How is it possible? My three major family mines are separated by hundreds of miles, and the mines in other states and counties are even farther away, thousands of miles apart. There are dozens of large mountains, how can they all be exhausted overnight?'"

  Ye Si Dao exchanged a glance with Fang Wan Hao and Zhou Wen Qing, revealing a hint of bitter smile, saying: "After our discussion, we unanimously believe that this matter is highly likely to be man-made. Someone secretly withdrew the golden energy from these mines, causing the mine collapse."

  Ye Xiu took a deep breath of cold air. These mines were located on the outskirts of the Bai Miao Mountains, thousands of miles apart. Who could possibly extract the golden aura from dozens of mountain peaks in just one night? And what was the purpose of extracting these golden auras?

  "As we guessed, that person extracted gold energy from dozens of mines, most likely for the purpose of refining a witch treasure!"

  Ye Si smiled bitterly and said, "This kind of grand gesture is not something ordinary people can do. I'm afraid that even if the Liu, Zhang, Yue, and Quan states' powerful families joined forces, they wouldn't be able to get a fair deal. The only way out is to find new mineral veins."

  Zhou Wenqing and Fang Wanhao also showed a wry smile, let alone getting back the justice, they were afraid that with just one move of his hand, he could sweep away all these family heads.

  In the past, the three major families were unwilling to use their full strength to explore Bai Manshan. Now they have no choice but to join hands and find new resources.

  Zhou Wenqing puffed out his chest, glared at Ye Xiang and the other two, saying: "You three little rascals have actually made it this far, not bad. But from now on, there's no more business for you here, hurry back to Liu Zhou and stop getting in the way!"

  Ye Si Dao smiled and said: "Let them follow us, it's good for them to see the world. With people like us around, what danger could they possibly be in?"

  Zhou Wenqing listened, stroked his big beard and smiled: "This group of little guys doesn't know the height of the sky or the thickness of the earth. They actually ran to Eagle Gorge without a word. If we hadn't come, they might not even have known how to die. We must teach them a lesson so that they know their mistake. However, since Master Ye said so, it's okay to let them follow."

  The old generation of three major families arrived one after another, and Ye Si Dao and others no longer stayed, walking forward.

  Zhou Shiwen and Fang Chen leaned in close to Ye Xu, whispering: "Shaobao, do you think it's possible for the golden energy of dozens of mines to be extracted overnight?"

  "There are people outside of people, and skies beyond the sky. It's possible that someone can really achieve this step. However, using the golden energy from dozens of mines to refine a magic treasure, just how big and powerful would this magic treasure be?"

  To be honest, Ye Xu was even more shocked than they were.

  For three hundred years, among the witches of Liu Zhou, the one with the highest cultivation was the founding ancestor of the Ye family. However, even this ancestor did not refine the yuan dan and was slightly inferior to Qin Jun's general.

  The master of Wudu Dongfu has a cultivation level that is higher than the ancestors of the Ye family by an unknown number, and has cultivated to the third embryo realm, almost cultivating out the original embryo!

  But even if it were the master of the Five Poison Caves, he would probably be far inferior to that person who had absorbed the golden energy of dozens of mines!

  People in Liuzhou describe Ye Si as a man who has magical powers that can communicate with gods, but this is just a figure of speech and flattery.

  That master who extracted the golden aura from dozens of mines is truly a divine magician, capable of changing the heavens and the earth, worthy of being called legendary!

  In his eyes, the likes of Wu Huang and Shi Jie were nothing but ants. He could drain the golden energy from dozens of mines, killing tens of thousands of miners, without batting an eyelid.

  Ye Xiu looked at the older generation of experts from the Ye, Zhou and Fang families in front of him. These people were the true elite of Liu Zhi, normally proud to the bone, a stomp of their foot would make Liu Zhi tremble with fear. But now, their pride had vanished into thin air.

  In his heart, a bitter feeling also arose: "The frog at the bottom of the well, it turns out that we are all frogs at the bottom of the well..."

  Fang Chen and Zhou Shiwen saw Ye Xu without saying a word, they also seemed to have realized something, and fell into silence one after another.

  Even Zhou Shiwen, who was always smiling and talking nonsense, gradually became serious.

  They are also thinking about their own future, whether to continue staying in Liuzhou and be the masters of a small pond, or to jump out and see the wider world outside.

  Three great masters of the world walked forward along the Eagle Gorge, where several old ancestors of the Fang family suddenly released five or six mountain fire demons, jumping and flying on the rugged walls of the mountains.

  These mountain fire monkeys are the Fang family's domesticated demon beasts, each one cultivated to the level of a refined monster. The monkey faces have transformed into human-like features, but still retain the characteristics of the mountain fire monkeys, with fiery red fur, slender hands and feet, and can swing from vines to fly dozens of meters away.

  These mountain ogres, wherever they went, would stretch out their huge hands, with a loud crack, insert them into the stone wall, and tear open a large hole in the stone wall, sending rocks flying everywhere!

  They grasped the mountain rocks, exerted a slight force, and crushed the rocks into powder. They put it under their noses to sniff, then jumped to the next place.

  The nose of the mountain fire spirit is extremely sensitive and can smell the taste of metal, it is good at searching for ore veins in the deep mountains, so whether it is the Zhou family, the Fang family or the Ye family, they will all raise a few to explore minerals.

  Along the way, searching for the past, Shan Huo found six or seven mineral veins, Guo Guo laughed strangely, and in places with mineral veins, he left a mark by urinating, a burst of foul air came, and everyone frowned.

  However, this is the nature of the mountain fire spirit, and it is impossible for them to change.

  Ye Si Dao and others let out a sigh of relief, Zhou Wen Qing chuckled: "The ore veins of Eagle Gorge are indeed numerous, it seems our trip here was worthwhile."

  Ye Si Dao nodded with a hint of a smile, but suddenly furrowed his brow and looked up towards the depths of Eagle Gorge.

  Ye Xiu looked up and saw that the valley was filled with a thick, black fog that seemed to be moving of its own accord. The entire narrow mountain valley was packed tightly, like a dark cave waiting for people to jump in, and then swallow them all!

  This black fog is not ordinary fog, but a powerful demon's aura emitted by a highly cultivated great demon!

  Only a dark fog was seen rolling and rolling, occasionally revealing a trunk that five or six people could encircle, smooth and thick, covered with green scales, appearing and disappearing, unknown what kind of monster it was!

  There were strange roars coming from the fog, captivating people's hearts. Occasionally, a wing like a flame would flash by, and it was gone in an instant, moving too fast for the eyes to catch!

  "Could it be that the monster in the eerie aura was the one who just took down the strongest member of the sect?" Ye Xuan thought to himself.

  Ye Si Dao and others' eyesight was far superior to his, their gaze piercing through the thick demonic aura, seeing even more clearly than him. They hastily stopped in their tracks, recalling Shan Huo Jiao, being cautious to the extreme.

  "A few seniors and predecessors, it seems we've met our match this time! Activate the Town Seal of Zhuque! Rise!"

  Ye Si Dao's head suddenly floated up a big seal, and a blood-red giant clam jumped out of the seal, becoming as large as a cow. It opened its dim big eyes, opened its mouth wide, and let out a loud "gulu" sound that echoed across the fields!

  The scarlet shell's mouth opened wide, exerting great force to suck in the demonic energy that had swallowed the long rainbow, and it was absorbed into the shell's mouth. The Eagle Gorge instantly cleared up!

  Only in front of a snake-like, bird-like monster coiled in the valley, its body nearly 100 meters long, with a pair of wings every ten meters, for a total of nine pairs.

  The giant snake raised its head to the sky, opened its huge mouth to swallow the primordial energy of heaven and earth, and the airflow was sucked in and spat out from its mouth, making a loud whooshing sound!

  When it inhales, even the wisteria hanging on the cliff is pulled straight, and when it exhales, a fierce gust of wind will be stirred up and blown upwards.
