Fantasy: I can equip everything

"With Commander Zhu appearing, there shouldn't be any problems."

Xing Hai breathed a sigh of relief.

Chen Chuang defeated the monk hope Sheng, and in theory, they should have qualified to share the Spirit-Guiding Grass.

Even if Chen Chuang leaves later, and their two sects may lose this qualification again, the annual quota of Spirit-Attracting Grass is enough to give their two sects a lot more True Qi Realm martial artists.

At least it will give us some time to recover. When a genius emerges in the sect later, perhaps we can take back the Spirit-Guiding Mountain.

What Xing Hai was most worried about was that the Black Knife Sect and the other two sects would not accept this result.

After all, if the three sects joined forces, even if they cheated, the Xingtian Sect and the Hunyuan Sect couldn't do anything about it.

The gap in hard power is too large.

Now that Zhu Xingjie, the commander of the Demon Slaying Division of Yuzhou, has stepped in, the Black Blade Sect will surely not renege on its promise.

However, Li Feiyu, who was standing next to him, frowned when he saw Zhu Xingjie suddenly appear.

He sensed something was wrong.

The Black Blade Sect's monopoly on the production of Spirit-Attracting Grass will have a significant impact on sects like theirs.

However, it is actually advantageous for the state government.

No matter how bold the Black Knife Sect is, they won't really keep all the benefits to themselves; they'll definitely have to bribe the state government.

They might even give more than before.

It is precisely for this reason that the state government has been slow to respond to the Black Knife Sect's occupation of Yinling Mountain.

But now, Zhu Xingjie has come in person...

Could it be because of Chen Chuang, the undercover investigator?

To please him, you'd give up such a huge benefit?

Li Feiyu couldn't understand it, but he felt that something was wrong.

Across from him, Hu Changfeng looked up at Zhu Xingjie's figure, his mouth slightly open as if he was about to say something, when he suddenly noticed a glance from the other party sweeping over him.

He immediately came to his senses, lowered his head and said, "Commander Zhu, rest assured, the Black Knife Sect will not deny it."

As he spoke, Hu Changfeng was lost in thought.

The secret within Mount Yinling concerns the entirety of their nine generations of relatives.

The fact that he had previously allowed several undercover agents to sneak in had already enraged Zhu Xingjie, forcing him to personally kill those agents.

But now, why does the other party seem completely unafraid of the possibility of their secrets being leaked?

Yes, if the Black Knife Sect denies it, it will only arouse suspicion from others.

But is it better to be suspicious than to let Chen Chuang and his group in and actually discover the spirit stone vein?

unless...

Hu Changfeng's mind raced, as if he had just thought of something. His eyes widened and his breath caught in his throat for a moment.

He looked up at Zhu Xingjie and saw the other man give a subtle nod.

Suddenly, I understood!

The outer shell of the spirit stone vein has been broken open!

The mining season begins today!

If that's the case, then there's absolutely no need to keep it a secret.

Today, after mining the spirit stone, they will all leave Yuzhou and find a place to live in seclusion or cultivate in the deep mountains and forests.

After a while, the Great Qian Dynasty will have several more cultivators at the Profound Realm.

By then, all the spirit stones will be used up, and even the Great Qian Dynasty will not pursue them relentlessly.

Thinking of this, Hu Changfeng's expression immediately relaxed a lot. He stepped aside and said with a smile, "In that case, Yinling Mountain is yours. I'll show you around."

At this moment, Chen Chuang slowly shifted his gaze from Zhu Xingjie and turned to Li Feiyu, saying, "Sect Master! I believe the resources in Yinling Mountain should belong to us, the people of Yuzhou. Since so many fellow cultivators are here today, let's share the joy instead of keeping it to ourselves. How about we all enter together?"

Li Feiyu paused for a moment before answering, but Xing Hai, standing to the side, became anxious.

"No kid, you've really gone through a lot..."

He certainly didn't want to share this hard-won opportunity with other bystanders.

What if one of these people gets incredibly lucky and finds a Spirit-Attracting Grass while walking around?

With so many people, it's impossible to search them when they leave.

Wouldn't they have suffered a huge loss?

But before he could finish speaking, Li Feiyu stopped him.

Li Feiyu whispered, "Something's not right. Let's do as he says first. If there are any losses, our Hunyuan Sect will make up for them later."

Having said that, he stepped forward and said loudly, "He's right. Such a grand event naturally calls for all of us from Yuzhou to act together. If you'd like, how about we all visit Mount Yinling together?"

The atmosphere instantly became lively.

"The Hunyuan Sect is truly magnificent!"

"Well said. People from Yuzhou should naturally be of the same mind and share the same roots."

"Sect Leader Li is truly magnanimous, unlike some people who keep their gains tightly under their belts, afraid that others might even glance at them."

Many martial artists cheered enthusiastically, but people from other major sects all sensed that something was amiss.

But in the end, I decided to go anyway.

The allure of the Spirit-Guiding Grass is too great.

"Second Master, what should we say? Should we go in with them, or wait for them to return?"

Qin Mingdi pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "I have a feeling this is a bit strange... Oh well! Since this kid needs someone to bolster his image, let's give him a hand!"

As more and more people responded, Hu Changfeng's expression grew increasingly grim.

The more people involved, the greater the chance of things going wrong.

If it were just the two major sects, Hunyuan Sect and Xingtian Sect, they would be confident that they could easily suppress them.

But so many people...

What if one or two manage to escape and report the news...?

As he pondered, he looked at Zhu Xingjie.

Seeing that the other party's expression remained unchanged, he simply looked at Chen Chuang quietly.

Could it be that this kid has discovered something by acting this way?

But ever since Chen Chuang arrived in Yuzhou, he, as the commander of the Demon Slaying Division, has never seen Chen Chuang.

It only made a brief appearance last night.

This kid can't possibly have noticed something was wrong with him just by looking at him, can he?

For some reason, Zhu Xingjie felt a vague unease rising in his heart.

only...

After a moment's thought, Zhu Xingjie gave up the idea of ​​investigating further.

Looking around at the other people, he relaxed a little.

Even if that kid discovered something, so what?

Do you think it's safe to go in with this rabble?

Moreover, he controls all the channels connecting Yuzhou with the outside world.

Even if Chen Chuang wanted to spread this information to the outside world, it would be impossible.

Thinking of this, his expression calmed down, and he slowly nodded to Hu Changfeng.

Hu Changfeng understood.

Following Chen Chuang's words, he said, "Young friend, not only are you exceptionally talented, but you also possess extraordinary magnanimity. Given time, you will surely go far in the path of martial arts."

"Everyone! Follow me!"

Before long, the group arrived at the foot of Yinling Mountain in a grand procession.

Hu Changfeng was already waiting at the foot of the mountain, followed by a group of Black Blade Sect disciples carrying black knives. They seemed to be the disciples responsible for guarding the mountain.

"Ladies and gentlemen! Please!"

Zhu Xingjie took the lead and strode directly into the mountains.

The others, without needing to be told, marched in in a large, unhurried manner.

What if you're lucky enough to find one or two Spirit-Attracting Grasses?

However, Chen Chuang hadn't walked far into the mountains when he stopped and looked around.

"What's wrong?"

Li Feiyu, who had been following him closely, couldn't help but ask when he saw this.

Chen Chuang said slowly, "The entire mountain range is almost devoid of any signs of life."

Upon hearing his words, Li Feiyu and Xing Hai immediately realized what he meant.

Yes!

From the moment they entered the mountains, they heard absolutely no sound.

Birds, beasts, insects, snakes, and rats—none of these creatures made a sound.

The surroundings were eerily quiet.

Gradually, the others realized that something was wrong.

Some of the more cautious ones had already gathered around Chen Chuang and his group.

Xing Hai's eyes darted around, and he suddenly shouted to Zhu Xingjie in front of him, "Commander Zhu, do you have any insights into the anomaly here?"

Zhu Xingjie slowly turned his head, first looking at the sky, then a smile appeared on his face.

"The creatures in the mountains have all had their life force extracted by the Demon Worship Cult using secret methods to break through the associated minerals covering the spirit stone veins."

In an instant, even the whispers in the mountains and forests disappeared.
