Kill the miners!

“The Chaos Body, Nangong Ye, unearthed a piece of Heaven and Earth Essence from the mine in the Black Mountain Forbidden Zone and received a reward from the Black Mountain Hall! (Coordinates sent)”

“Heaven and Earth Essence!?”

Xu Ying's eyes sparkled. This was a rare item.

Heaven and Earth Essence could directly aid a Cultivator's Cultivation.

Even when forging Emperor Weapons, it was one of the main materials.

These Black Mountain mines actually contained Heaven and Earth Essence, which greatly tempted Xu Ying.

“Among the many mine slaves, some noticed your astonishing mining speed and harbored malicious intent, preparing to launch a night attack on your location.”

“Seeking death!!”

Upon seeing this information, Xu Ying's expression instantly turned cold, and killing intent erupted between his brows.

Fortunately, this killing intent was hidden in his heart.

If these people dared to come, not a single one would be left!

Xu Ying knew that many of these mine slaves were King Realm and Saint Realm experts from the outside world.

If it were in the outside world, he wouldn't dare to provoke these powerful individuals.

But now, this was the Black Mountain Forbidden Zone, with the Forbidden Zone rules suppressing them. He even dared to take on a Quasi-Emperor!

“Tonight, I'll first deal with those who covet me!”

“Then tomorrow, I must go search for that Heaven and Earth Essence. Missing it would be a great regret in life.”

“As for the Black Mountain Hall Disciples...”

Xu Ying was a bit unsure about the Black Mountain Hall. This force was deeply entrenched in the Black Mountain Forbidden Zone, and it might harbor some untold secrets.

He decided to observe for now.

The mine slaves of the Black Mountain Forbidden Zone all rested together.

Deep in the night, Xu Ying also met a kind couple.

According to them, they had been in the Black Mountain Forbidden Zone for about twenty years.

They had always dreamed of one day being able to leave the Forbidden Zone and see their daughter.

Through fragmented conversations, Xu Ying learned their surname; the man's surname was Chi.

“No way!”

Xu Ying's eyes lit up. Could it really be such a coincidence?

If they were truly Senior Sister Chi's parents, then it was simply too fated.

If he could leave the Forbidden Zone, he would definitely take them with him.

Of course, just as Xu Ying was about to confirm whether they were Senior Sister Chi's parents, someone in the group of mine slaves moved.

These people continuously surrounded Xu Ying's position in the darkness.

It wasn't until Xu Ying was completely surrounded that they revealed their fangs.

“Little brother! I see you have abundant strength and are also a skilled miner...”

“From now on, come and help us mine!”

“We are all fallen souls in the world; you wouldn't refuse to help us, would you!?”

These mine slaves spoke hypocritically, eventually completely encircling Xu Ying.

Seeing the greed and menace on their faces, Xu Ying chuckled and said:

“Help you?”

“What are you people!?”

“You're already mine slaves, yet you still like to pull these stunts!”

Xu Ying's words directly exposed their facade, hitting them where it hurt.

The mine slaves, one by one, shouted in anger and shame: “Sharp-tongued brat!”

“Let us show you our power!!”

The mine slaves, having mined here for years, had developed powerful Physical Body strength, and with every move, there were surges of Dragon power.

“It's over!!”

Upon seeing Xu Ying encounter this scene, the Chi Family couple's expressions darkened, and they rose, just about to do something.

Suddenly.

“Boom!!”

A tyrannical spiritual energy swept forth, and a Divine Ability descended from the sky.

The Great Wilderness Heaven Imprisoning Palm materialized and slammed down.

A huge palm print struck all the mine slaves into the ground, instantly turning them into a bloody mist.

“It's the Great Wilderness Heaven Imprisoning Palm!”

“He's from the Ancient Wang Family!”

“No, that's not right, why can he use spiritual power in the Forbidden Zone!!”

Everyone who witnessed this scene first mistook the origin of the Divine Ability, then belatedly shouted.

For a moment, the mine slaves' eyes burned with fervor.

Being able to control spiritual power within the Black Mountain Forbidden Zone was a dream they had harbored for years of enslavement.

“Phew! Fortunately!”

The Chi Family couple's faces showed relief.

Soon, under Xu Ying's domineering suppression, everyone calmed down.

The next day.

Xu Ying followed these mine slaves, continuing to excavate the Black Mountain mine.

He scanned the mining areas and realized that the Heaven and Earth Essence was quite far away.
