A group of ants

Inside the main hall.

Someone said with a lost expression,

“Great Commander, is burying them all alive a bit too… brutal?”

Indeed, almost everyone present did not treat the mine slaves as human beings.

The status of mine slaves was also the lowest.

If a few, or even dozens or hundreds, died in normal times, they wouldn't even bat an eye.

But suddenly burying thousands alive, in some sense, was somewhat against the Dao.

To this, Lu Feng said indifferently, “For the great plan of Sect development, a little sacrifice is worth it.”

“Moreover, this is a major plan decided by the Sect's higher-ups. We only have the right to execute it, not the right to deny it.”

“Do you have any other questions? If not, then go and do your work!”

When things had been said to such an extent, even if everyone had questions, what could they do?

Especially the Wu Zhao brothers, after exchanging glances, felt quite unsettled in their hearts.

They originally thought that becoming the person in charge of Phoenix Feather Sect was a class leap and a transformation of identity.

But now it seemed that Phoenix Feather Sect was not a benevolent Sect either!

That was thousands of lives!

The Sect's higher-ups actually killed them just like that.

What was the difference between this and Commander Ji Meng, who had slaughtered the city before?

The three of them felt their hearts sink slightly.

They would never be able to do such a thing. But even if they had considerable strength, in front of the entire Phoenix Feather Sect, they were like ants compared to an elephant.

How could they stop a decision made by the Sect?

For a time, a thick layer of gloom settled over their hearts.

As this meeting ended, the three walked on the road.

“Big Brother, what should we do now?”

Zhong Ying asked.

All three were benevolent people. If they didn't have a conscience, integrity, and bottom line, they wouldn't have stepped forward when Commander Ji Meng slaughtered the city.

At this moment, Wu Zhao felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

In front of the behemoth that was Phoenix Feather Sect, even if he wanted to save all the mine slaves of Ten Mine, he simply couldn't.

After a moment of deep thought, he said,

“There are too many mine slaves in Ten Mine, we are powerless, but we can send a message to Mr. Zhong Qing.”

“With Mr. Zhong Qing's methods, he should be able to escape the mine.”

“At this point, we can only save one person at a time.”

Zhong Qing's strength was considerable, and his methods were unique.

They knew that Zhong Qing had the ability to escape the mine.

Otherwise, the scene of him interacting with them earlier would not have occurred.

...

The people of the entire Ten Mine did not know that a butcher's knife was about to fall on their heads.

Everyone continued to mine and turn in tasks as usual!

They were even still dreaming of capturing the little Phoenix Yu and escaping from being mine slaves.

Inside the mine hall!

People came and went!

Zhong Qing and Xiang Fei came to turn in their tasks.

The Wu Zhao brothers had already been waiting nearby for a long time.

Seeing Zhong Qing.

The three's expressions shifted.

“Mr. Zhong Qing, please come over here for a word!”

This scene, even though it happened frequently these days, was still extremely unbelievable to the mine slaves.

For them, the mine supervisors were undoubtedly high and mighty.

Every supervisor was an untouchable figure to them.

But Zhong Qing not only gained the favor of the supervisors but also received respectful treatment from them.

This alone made them extremely envious.

Zhong Qing clearly noticed that the three's expressions were a bit off.

His heart stirred, and he walked forward leisurely.

“Gentlemen, has something happened?”

Wu Zhao's expression was solemn.

He lowered his voice and said, “Mr. Zhong Qing, Ten Mine is about to undergo a great change.”

“The appearance of the supreme treasure is widely implicated.”

“Phoenix Feather Sect, to ensure absolute safety, is preparing to bury everyone in Ten Mine alive.”

“You, you should quickly flee for your life!”

Upon hearing this news, even Zhong Qing's heart couldn't help but stir greatly.

He knew that Phoenix Feather Sect was not a benevolent Sect, but he never expected them to be so deranged.

Just to keep the news of the supreme treasure's appearance absolutely secret, they would raise a butcher's knife against everyone in Ten Mine.

Before he could respond.

A cold snort already came out.

“Flee?”

“Do you not think that we are just decorations?”

As he spoke.

A group of supervisors had already walked in from the passage.

They surrounded the mine slaves who were turning in their ore.

The leader was none other than Great Commander Lu Feng.

This scene caused the expressions of the mine slaves to change drastically.

In the scene, the supervisors were all solemn, and their eyes flickered with faint killing intent.

This made the mine slaves feel a sense of unease.

Because their physical strength and profound energy were sealed, they did not hear clearly what Wu Zhao and Zhong Qing said.

But looking at the supervisors and even the Great Commander, all with unfriendly expressions, they felt that something huge was about to happen.

As the Great Commander took a few steps and arrived at the center of the mine hall.

His gaze was fixed on the Wu Zhao brothers.

“Wu Zhao, Zhong Ying, Cheng Qi, you three have disappointed me too much.”

“Previously, you killed a supervisor of my Phoenix Feather Sect. Seeing that you had good strength, I spared you once and even allowed you to become supervisors, giving you enough dignity.”

“But you are courting death, actually attempting to challenge the Sect's bottom line and disrupt the Sect's plan.”

“Truly incorrigible!”

“You truly refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit!”

“Since you are so ungrateful, then die with the mine slaves of Ten Mine!”

The cold voice echoed throughout the entire cave.

It also caused all the mine slaves present to completely panic.

At this moment, they finally understood!

These people appeared to kill them!

For a time, someone was filled with indignation.

They asked in despair,

“Why, why is this happening?!”

“Although we are mine slaves and not valued.”

“But we have worked diligently for many years and have shed blood for Phoenix Feather Sect and rendered service to the Sect.”

“Great Commander, have we done anything wrong?”

“Why do you want to make such a big move and put us to death?”

“A bunch of ants, if you die, you die, why so many questions?”

To this, the Great Commander's reply was extremely cold and ruthless.

“Kill!”

With a command, all the supervisors instantly moved.

For a time!

Terrifying Divine Might surged.

Overwhelming killing intent filled the entire mine.

Almost everyone present fell into deep despair.

Among the hundred or so supervisors who came, there were more than ten Myriad Laws Realm experts alone!

Among them, four were at Myriad Laws Realm First Level!

Three were at Myriad Laws Realm Second Level.

Two were at Myriad Laws Realm Third Level.

One was at Myriad Laws Realm Fourth Level.

And there was a Great Commander at Myriad Laws Realm Sixth Level.

This force alone was enough to sweep away everyone present.

What's more, the other party had more than just this number of people, there were also other Three Yang experts.

And they were all bound by copper rings, so with the ebb and flow of strength, the mine slaves truly saw no hope of survival.

Just at this critical moment.

A azure figure, carrying peerless Divine Might, descended onto the battlefield.
