99: Chapter 99 Xia Qi ran away
Seeing this, the remaining Guan Huai no longer had a shred of fighting spirit left.
He did not hesitate, put away the Spiritual Artifact in his hand, and shouted, "I am willing to submit!"
"I don't need you!"
Ye Mo sneered, drew his bow, and fired an arrow, his movements fluid and continuous.
Bangβ
Guan Huai fell straight backward, his eyes wide open, dying with deep resentment.
The remaining two men felt their hair stand on end and immediately fled.
"Only now thinking of running away? It's too late."
Swish! Swish!
Ye Mo fired two more arrows in succession; without any surprise, both men died instantly.
At this moment, the other two teams finally arrived late.
Ye Mo ignored them, quickly collected the Storage Pouches on the ground, and then flew toward his own Mining Site.
Rao Xing and the others arrived in front of Boss Hong's corpse.
Their expressions were terrifyingly grim.
Because they had to bring a group of Qi Refining Mid-Stage Cultivators with them, their speed was much slower.
By the time they arrived, the battle was already over.
He didn't even see how Ye Mo had killed Boss Hong.
"Let's head back first."
Rao Xing did not continue to pursue Ye Mo.
Given Ye Mo's combat power, although he did not believe that Boss Hong and his men could kill Ye Mo, Ye Mo had dealt with Boss Hong in such a short amount of time.
This matter was also beyond his expectations.
Ye Mo returned to his own Mining Site and sorted through the spoils of war. There were not many Spirit Stones, especially from Boss Hong and Guan Huai; the amount of Spirit Stones the two of them had was pitifully small.
Clearly, in order to defect to Xia Qi, they had handed over all their Spirit Stones.
Fortunately, however, they had quite a few Spiritual Artifacts on them.
Especially Boss Hong's shield.
With this shield, he no longer had to worry about attacks from Qi Refining Mid-Stage Cultivators.
After sorting out the spoils, Ye Mo began to Cultivate.
He hadn't even mentioned the ambush from today to Boss Xiao.
Boss Xiao had also been preoccupied these past few days.
Because Ye Mo had been slow to take action, many people had sided with Xia Qi.
Fewer and fewer people were coming to hand over Spirit Stones.
According to his thoughts, even if they didn't attack Xia Qi's main base, they should at least suppress some miners; that way, they could still obtain some Spirit Stones.
However, Ye Mo only told him to wait a few more days.
He had no other choice.
Xia Qi's main base.
Rao Xing returned with everyone and subsequently reported to Xia Qi.
Besides him, many of the Qi Refining Mid-Stage Cultivators who had fled earlier also returned to Xia Qi's main base, recounting the battle with Ye Mo one by one.
Of course, their accounts were somewhat exaggerated.
"You are all a bunch of trash! With so many of you, you couldn't even kill one Ye Mo. What use are you to me?!"
Xia Qi was furious and smashed the wooden table in front of him with one palm.
At that time, they were besieging Ye Mo alone.
He had truly thought it was a sure thing.
However, what he didn't know was that Ye Mo's Divine Sense far exceeded that of a Qi Refining Late-Stage Cultivator.
As soon as Ye Mo entered the mine entrance, he had discovered their ambush.
If he had really been surrounded by a dozen Qi Refining Late-Stage Cultivators and over a hundred Mid-Stage ones, Ye Mo would have likely had no choice but to fight his way out.
"Boss Xia, why don't we just attack Ye Mo's main base directly and fight him to the death?!"
One of his Qi Refining Late-Stage subordinates suggested.
To be honest, although Ye Mo was indeed very strong, with so many of them, surely they could eliminate one Ye Mo?
"You can't even handle one Ye Mo, and you want to go to his main base?"
Xia Qi slapped this subordinate on the head.
Did he not want to attack Ye Mo?
But if they really went to attack, he would definitely have to lead the team.
He was also afraid of Ye Mo's Spirit Energy Arrow.
Ye Mo's Spirit Energy Arrow was devilishly strange.
Even Scarface Liu couldn't withstand a single arrow.
If he went himself, the consequences would likely be the same.
"Then what should we do? Are we just going to let Ye Mo continue to be this rampant?"
Having been slapped, the subordinate felt aggrieved.
But he didn't dare to flare up.
"How is that possible? Rest assured, I am currently Cultivating a very powerful Spell, and I will soon succeed in mastering it. When that time comes, I will definitely kill Ye Mo with my own hands."
Xia Qi said, filled with Killing Intent.
"Boss, the Flame Dragon Roar, are you really about to successfully master it?"
Hearing Xia Qi's words, everyone didn't doubt him but instead looked excited.
"Very soon. Now, only the integration remains. Give me a few more days, and let alone a puny Ye Mo, I will lead you all to sweep through the entire Fifth Mine."
Xia Qi was full of confidence.
Rao Xing and the others' eyes immediately gleamed with hope.
He knew that the Flame Dragon Roar that Xia Qi was Cultivating could already manifest ten fire dragons.
The power of ten fire dragons was already very strong; if they could be integrated into one, then it would absolutely be unstoppable.
"So, don't worry, just wait patiently. Um, I'm going out for a moment; you all guard the Mining Site well."
After saying this, Xia Qi flew away from the Mining Site on his sword.
Not long after, he arrived at the mine entrance.
At this moment, his face was full of bitterness; where was the confidence from before?
"This is truly f*cked up. How is Ye Mo so good at fighting? The bullsh*t 'Ten Dragon Integration'... I can't even integrate two of them right now. I have to think of a way..."
Xia Qi was silent for a moment, then walked toward the nearby Pavilion.
Entering the Pavilion, a Disciple stopped him.
Xia Qi immediately explained his purpose, saying he wanted to see Deacon Liu.
The Disciple asked him to wait a moment, then soon returned and led him to the second floor.
In the living room on the second floor, Deacon Liu Yan was sitting in the main seat, sipping the Spirit Tea in her hand.
"Deacon Liu, please save me!" Upon seeing Deacon Liu Yan, Xia Qi immediately put on a mournful face, as if he were about to cry.
"Chief Xia, are you joking with me?" Deacon Liu Yan put down the Spirit Tea and giggled twice.
"How would I dare to joke with you? You've also seen it; Ye Mo killed Scarface Liu as easily as slaughtering a chicken. It is impossible for him to let me go."
Xia Qi understood that even if he surrendered, Ye Mo would not let him go.
He had absolutely no way out.
"Then how do you want me to save you?" Deacon Liu Yan asked with interest.
"I hope Deacon Liu can step in to mediate. If Deacon Liu can take action to deal with Ye Mo, that would be even better."
Xia Qi said immediately.
"Hehe, Xia Qi, you've been at the Fanlong Mining Field for decades; don't you know the rule that the Mining Site doesn't support idlers?"
Deacon Liu sneered twice.
In the Mining Site, strength is definitely king. Since you, Xia Qi, are no good, then they can just replace you with someone else.
"I certainly understand. I have less than half a year left before my thirty-year mining term is up. Deacon Liu, if you don't want to step in to mediate, then you can transfer me to another mining area."
Xia Qi naturally knew that Deacon Liu Yan would not help him.
His goal was actually just to leave the Fifth Mine.
He had long since lost the desire for supremacy; as long as he could hold on for half a year, he could leave this place. Why bother fighting to the death?
"The Sect does not allow for arbitrary transfers between mining areas..."
"I understand. I have 100,000 Spirit Stones here. Deacon Liu, please, I beg you to help me..."
After saying this, Xia Qi took out a Storage Pouch and placed it in front of Deacon Liu Yan.
"You are quite sensible. Alright then... considering you've been diligent and conscientious all these years, I will make an exception this once. Go to the first floor to process the paperwork, and you can leave for another mining area immediately."
Deacon Liu Yan smiled slightly, reached out, and collected the Storage Pouch.
"Thank you, Deacon Liu."
Xia Qi immediately bowed and then left the living room.
Deacon Liu Yan glanced at him indifferently, then picked up the teacup again.
After Xia Qi went downstairs.
Deacon Liu Yan instructed a Disciple outside the living room to go and summon Ye Mo.
If Xia Qi left, then she would need to support someone else to take the position of Chief.
Ye Mo naturally became her best candidate.
Sipping the tea, Deacon Liu Yan slowly stood up and muttered to herself, "It's almost November, why is the weather still so hot..."
