A sorroail echoed out A cultivator, alking with difficulty while dragging an iron round It happened that he alking on a doard slope, and when he collapsed, the iron chain slipped fro the mine car to lose control and roll down the slope It went over hundred feet down before sla into a deep trench next to the tunnel

A supervising Yaksha gave a fierce hiss, waved his hand, and unleashed a beaht at his temple From the look of how it flew, the blue beam would soon pierce the cultivator's head and clai the layout of the entire mine with a few Yakshas around him "Stop!" He cried

The Yaksha was taken aback, and quickly beckoned at the blue beam It had touched the cultivator's skin, but deviated its course at theonly a shallow scratch on the cultivator's temple Warm blood streamed down his cheek while the blue beam spun and returned to the Yaksha's palm The Yaksha turned around, cupped his fist to Wu Qi, and called, "Deputy Supervisor!"

Shaking his head, Wu Qi waved his hand and said coolly, "Let this fellow Doaist have so him some food and water!" The few Yakshas around hiave theives you pleasure to kill the to extract the ores for us if you kill theed a glance with each other One of them bent forward and said carefully, "Deputy Supervisor, Supervisor Lu has said that we need to exercise stern supervision on these cultivators He said that as this mine has only limited amount of Nether Ocean Dark Gold Copper, it will just take a few years to extract them all with a few thousand cultivators And since more cultivators will be sent here, a few casualties will not affect our progress!"

Wu Qi gave the Yaksha a cold gaze All of a sudden, he pulled out the sword hanging on the hip of one of the Yakshas standing next to hi it and chopped off the first Yaksha's head Blue blood sprayed out from the broken neck like a fountain He wiped away the blood that had dotted his face, then threw the sword to the ground

Nu pits, carefully observing the co Yakshas stared at Wu Qi with terror in their eyes as they e bodies backward in panic It was even worse for the few that had accompanied Wu Qi, as they had now dropped to their knees, their foreheads knocking on the hard floor while crying out loud for h and shouted in a stern tone, "Fellow Daoists, I do not care what reasons have brought you here to the Northern Ocean, and why are you being trapped in this place But now that I've been e of this place, I'll never let another Daoist die innocently!"

Then, he changed his tone, now grieving and alh the hardships for several hundred, some even thousands of years just to have your current cultivation base I am an immortal cultivator h it is to cultivate on a daily basis just for that tiny bit of energy, what kind of ups and doe have gone through in the journey of cultivating irayish and dull eyes of those cultivators, and an unusual life force surged from their numb and stiffened bodies

Wu Qi continued with a loud voice, "I am a lucky one, for the Goddess has taken h I am just an outer sect disciple, I am also the deputy supervisor of this mine! Today, I shall take the liberty toas you work hard every day, you will be served with food and drinks, and none of you will be starved anymore! Work harder with all your effort, my fellow Daoists Once we have all the ores extracted froe Supervisor Lu to fulfill his promise!"

He paused for a brief while, then cried out at the top of his voice, "Fro Yakshas shall kill another cultivator without permission! I will personally kill those who disobey this order!"

One after another, all the Yakshas went down on their knees and answered with respect

The sudden announcement had stunned all the few thousand cultivators ere trapped in this , someone let out a loud cheer, and it was i of the rest of the cultivators, while some even jumped up into the air excitedly For thatof feet had briefly shaken the mine The sheer excitement had put color on their cheeks

Everyone was moved, especially the cultivator who Wu Qi had saved previously He even dropped to his knees in the tunnel with his tears all over his face as he kept koing at Wu Qi

Wu Qi smiled faintly as he watched the few thousand cultivators cheering and ju for joy

Lu Buwei had ruled over these cultivators with endless fears and death threats, like the dark night that veiled above a graveyard But, Wu Qi's announce on the dark curtain which Lu Buwei had purposely built, allowing a faint light to shine through it And, he did that for three purposes

Firstly, it was for the gratitude of these cultivators Aiven up their conscience Perhaps, Wu Qi could recruit them and turn them into his oer in the future

Secondly, Wu Qi wanted to ruin Lu Buwei's sche when Wu Qi went against him

Thirdly, Lu Buould definitely respond to Wu Qi's plain intervention And once a conflict broke out between theardless of the result, it would be heard by Goddess Miao Xin Wu Qi had a feeling that she would betroubles like this

This was the third day since Wu Qi arrived the mine, and he had started to purposely break the rules imposed by Lu Buwei
