Chapter 70: The Snake of Fury
of corpses and ghostly realm, leaving both feeling unwell and their strength suppressed. Seeing that the situation had reached a critical point, staying any longer was extremely dangerous. But to sim...“Spare us, spare our lives! We, along with my two nephews, were blinded by lard and foolishly acted out of line. Mighty young hero, please be merciful and let us live.” The bald old man pleaded, his voice choked with tears and snot.
"You wanted to kill me before, and now you're begging for mercy Don't you think it's a bit late" Lu Xiaotian showed no mercy whatsoever. The sword in his hand tightened even further.
“Uncle Han, don’t ask him. For the past decade or so, we’ve been living in darkness here in this mine shaft, enduring the bullying of other miners every day. It feels worse than death to me. It would be better to just end it.” The young man who had been kicked by Chu Luantian earlier, a wiry youth who had just entered the Qi Refining stage, gritted his teeth as he struggled to get up from the ground.

Another man, weak and emaciated, gave a grim smile. "Even if he lets us go now, we still can't escape death without enough spirit stones to give to the Hu She."
“All the ore you dig isn't handed over to Lingxiao Palace’s mining supervisor, right Who is this Hu She” Lu Xia Tian clearly remembered that the mining supervisor seemed to be called Chi Qing, perhaps that calm and composed young man with white eyebrows.

“The mine inspector That's the head out there, Hu She. He’s one of the heads inside the mine. Ever since he was persecuted and forced to flee into this mine to barely survive, his cultivation level has dropped to the middle stage of Qi Refining. He has been oppressed in every way by several leaders inside the mine. They don't mine spirit stones themselves; they specialize in robbing us of the spirit stones we painstakingly collect. As the years go by and the mining continues, the spirit stones within the mine are constantly decreasing. To mine more ore, we must dig new tunnels. Originally, there weren't many spirit stones we could collect, and now that they force us to hand over a portion, the meager food we can exchange for is barely enough to keep us alive. We're just barely scraping by.” The bald elder seemed to be infected by the two young men, his face pale with misery.
"Persecution, who are you persecuted by" Lu Xia Tian saw that these three people didn't seem to be acting, and curiously asked.
"It's useless to say anything, that person is a high-level Qi cultivator. You probably don't even know who they are." The frail man shrugged and smiled, leaning against the cave wall as he slowly sat down.
Lu Xiaoteng frowned. The weak man's words were not false. There were dozens of Jindan cultivators in the entire Lingxiao Palace, and seven to eight hundred Zukib cultivators, scattered in a dozen different areas. For example, in his Qinglian Peak domain, there were more than sixty Zukib cultivators. Besides meeting the four Zukib cultivators from Qian Dali by chance when registering for Lingxiao Palace, he had not seen another one in the past month and a half since entering the palace.
"Big brother Qiu, what does it matter We ran into the mine to escape Qian Dali's persecution in the first place. We have been hiding for ten years now, and it is impossible to go out. Keeping this secret doesn't help anything either. Maybe one day we won't be able to live anymore, taking Qian Dali's secret with us to our grave. Wouldn't that just make him happy" The young man spat blood and said with hatred.
"The grand gift of the Qian from Mount Qinglian Peak" Lu Xiaoteng narrowed his eyes and asked.

"Do you know Qian Dali" The bald old man and his two companions were simultaneously taken aback, their faces paling as they eyed Lu Xiaotian warily. They feared that he might be a cultivator sent by Qian Dali to kill them.
"Of course, you know I'm from the Qilian Peak region. I have nothing to do with Qian Dali, but I am very interested in his secrets." Lu Xia Tian smiled faintly. It was truly a stroke of luck that he had taken refuge in the mine shaft because of Qian Dali and immediately encountered several Qi refining cultivators who had been persecuted by him. That old fellow Qian Dali, first figure out his secrets, and then when I have enough strength, I will seek revenge for this!
"Unless you agree to let us go, I won't tell you this secret," the bald old man said with a twitch of his eyes.
"Do you think you still have any bargaining chips now" Lu XiaTian sneered, waving his spirit sword in his hand and aiming it at the weak man's neck.

“Stop, stop, I said, I said.” The bald old man’s face flashed with a hint of fear. This young boy, though young, was decisive and ruthless, surpassing even his own when he first ventured into the cultivation world.

"Haha, Weng Tuzi, you and your nephew haven't handed over the spirit stones from today. Are you going to do it yourselves, or should I make you"
Just as the bald old man was about to speak, a middle-aged man with a fierce face and a scar walked out laughing from the depths of the mine.
"Viper!" The bald old man and his two nephews couldn't help but shrink their necks, it seemed they had suffered a lot from this viper.
Lu Xia Tian's pupils shrank. This Hu She was unexpectedly a cultivator of the Great Perfection stage, and behind him followed two cultivators of the Late Qi Refinement Stage, five cultivators of the Mid Qi Refinement Stage. Their spirits were full, far more powerful than the three withered bald elders.

If he were outside the mine, facing this group of ambiguous cultivators, Lu Xia Tian would run without hesitation. However, the cultivators exiled within the mine were mostly those who had broken the Ling Xiao Palace rules or offended wandering cultivators of the Ling Xiao Palace. Their crimes weren't punishable by death, so they were stripped of all their spirit artifacts and thrown into the mine to work. Besides a few mining spirit hammers, they possessed no offensive or defensive spirit artifacts, relying solely on spell attacks. They also lacked any healing pills. He wasn't that afraid.
"Well, there's actually another cultivator at the Qi Refining stage. Judging by your slightly dark complexion and energetic spirit, you must have just entered the mine recently, right Are you a disciple of Lingxiao Palace" Hu She saw the spiritual sword in Lu Xia Tian's hand, a greedy glint flashed in his eyes. However, before figuring out the other party's background, Hu She still held back the killing intent in his heart and asked.
"Good, you're disciples of Lingxiao Palace, just newly arrived for menial work. I've claimed these three; don't bother them again."
Lu Xia Tian said, secretly taking out a stack of talismans from within the barrier and holding them in his palm. Compared to when he was in Wang Yue City, the disciples of Ling Xiao Palace had better things than those impoverished cultivators. The talismans they bought were not only more fair in price than in Wang Yue City, but there were also quite a few second- and third-order talismans. However, fourth-order talismans were still extremely scarce and he wasn't able to buy any.
"Hahaha.........." Hu She and the other cultivators burst into laughter, taking a good while to recover their breath.
"Hu She glared menacingly and threatened, "Boy, I just let you off easy because I saw that you were a disciple of Lingxiao Palace. I didn't want to cause trouble. But you're really getting cocky for a mere Qi Refining sixth layer cultivator. Let me tell you something straight up, the last Lingxiao Palace disciple who was around your level was just as arrogant as you. He ended up being killed by me in the end. Get out of here before it's too late, or next year on this day will be your death anniversary!"
Having said that, Hu She actually drew out a low-grade spirit sword from his person. Several cultivators behind Hu She also clenched the spiritual maces and shovels in their hands, their expressions fierce and menacing.
"Looks like you're going to have to drink a penalty glass if you won't accept my toast."
Lu XiaTian gave a cold smile. He had heard about the dangerous environment inside the mine and how bullies preyed on the weak. He didn't care much about that, but if he wanted to be left alone in the mine, he needed to make a statement by intimidating some of these clueless fools. The target couldn't be too insignificant either; otherwise, people wouldn't know better than to mess with him. This group wasn't bad at all.
The first to strike is the strongest, while the latter suffers. Lu Xia Tian directly threw out a talisman. Fireball technique, thunderclap spear, ice cone technique, more than fifty talismans were used in succession, and in the cramped mine shaft there was simply not enough space to dodge.
