"Tie up?"
Zhang Yao was stunned for a moment, a little confused.
"Yes, use this."
As Master Haihe spoke, he pulled out a thin silver-gray rope from his sleeve and threw it to Zhang Yao.
Zhang Yao took the silver-gray rope, and with a glance of his mind, he realized that it was a high-level spiritual weapon, which seemed to be specially used for binding and suppressing.
"It's really luxurious."
Zhang Yao secretly smacked his tongue and rubbed the silver-gray string in his hand.
He didn't even have a high-level spiritual weapon in his hand, but Master Haihe specialized in making a rope to tie people up.
Zhang Yao used his spiritual thoughts to leave a temporary mark on the rope, which was regarded as a preliminary exercise, and then entered the magic power:
"call out!"
The silver-gray string suddenly flew out, flying like an extremely flexible snake, automatically tying up the unconscious Feng Dujuan.
The surprising part is:
After completing the binding, the aura on Feng Dujuan's body immediately dissipated, as if she had changed from a living person to a stone statue.
Several Foundation Establishment Masters were a little surprised when they saw this. Only Peng Yue, the oldest one, smiled and said nothing. He seemed to have known the efficacy of this spiritual weapon for a long time.
"This device is called the 'Life and Death Rope'. People bound by this device will fall into a state of half-life and half-death. Without external rescue, it is almost impossible to wake up on their own."
Master Haihe said and gestured:
"Qingxu, you captured Feng Dujuan alive, so you can take care of her first."
"She can no longer be considered a pure living person, just put it in a storage bag."
"OK."
Zhang Yao responded, feeling quite surprised, and tried to put Feng Dujuan into the storage bag.
Unexpectedly, after the magical power was activated, Feng Dujuan was actually picked up out of thin air, shrunk rapidly, and fell into the storage bag like a small clay statue.
"It's true that the world is so vast and full of wonders."
Zhang Yao sighed with emotion.
"Let's go up first."
Master Haihe spoke, took the lead in using his escape technique, and walked upwards:
"The mining area in Suiyu Mountain has been in chaos. A little order has just been restored. There are still many things waiting for us to deal with."
"There are still these demon cultivators, just throw them out of Suiyu Mountain without causing unnecessary complications."
…………
Less than half an hour later.
In an inaccessible mountain col, a gurgling stream flows.
On the bank of the stream, the old man from the Hu family slowly woke up. His eyes were blank at first, then his expression changed, and he suddenly turned over and sat up.
"I'm not dead...here?"
He glanced around subconsciously, his expression wary, but he soon relaxed.
He recognized the surrounding environment, which should be somewhere in the mountainous area outside Suiyu Mountain, and there were several familiar figures lying next to him.
"wake up!"
He stood up and cast a spell, quickly waking up the rest of the group.
"We're not dead?"
"I remember I was knocked unconscious... Were they merciful?"
"Seventh Uncle, Second Brother...that's great, everyone is fine!"
After everyone woke up, they quickly summarized the information and finally concluded that it was Hu Weiwei's words that told the other party to use caution and let them go.
"Hey... I didn't expect that I would have to rely on my uncle's reputation to save my life in the end."
The old man from the Hu family sighed and felt a little lucky:
"Fortunately, this GCC person has heard of my uncle's name, otherwise he might not have given him face."
"If we can escape death, we are lucky."
The young man in white shirt turned pale, recalling the scene just now, he still felt a little palpitated:
"That Master Qingxu is too powerful!"
"He is only in the early stages of foundation building, but he has such tyrannical strength...Why haven't you heard of his name in Dali before?"
The middle-aged Taoist on the side pondered for a moment and said:
"This person is indeed very powerful...perhaps this is his first attack after achieving Foundation Establishment."
As he spoke, his expression suddenly changed, and he looked down at his waist and shouted:
"Oops...my storage bag!"
The old man from the Hu family waved his hands and said calmly:
"Forget it, it's a blessing to be able to save a life. If you lose your belongings, you will lose them."
"The most urgent task is to leave the country of Li as soon as possible and send Weiwei back."
When he said this, he paused, turned to look at Hu Weiwei, and said in a deep voice:
"Weiwei, I already know about your parents. In fact, you can't blame your uncle for being cruel."
"This is the fate of us demon cultivators. I hope you can understand and come back to Jingguo with us."
Hu Weiwei remained silent, lowered her head and did not speak.
"By the way, what should I do with this kid?"
The young man in white shirt reacted suddenly, pointed at Wu Siqiang beside him with a strange expression, and said:
"They seemed to think that this kid was with us and threw him out..."
As he spoke, he turned to look at Hu Weiwei and couldn't help but say:
"Weiwei, I was just about to ask you."
"Why were you protecting this kid? He doesn't look like a demon cultivator..."
Hu Weiwei lowered her head and her tone fluctuated slightly:
"He was kind to me and saved me in the mining area."
"I see."
The old man from the Hu family nodded slightly, looked at Wu Sigong, and said in a deep voice:
"Boy, you saved Weiwei and escaped from the mine by accident. We owe each other nothing."
"Let's just say goodbye. You'd better change your identity..."
"etc!"
Wu Siqiang heard half of it and finally couldn't help but said:
"Can I come with you?"
"Let's go together?"
When the three members of the Hu family heard this, they all looked a little stunned. The young man in white shirt couldn't help but said:
"You want to come with us? Why?"
"Don't you know that we are demon cultivators that everyone calls to beat us?"
Wu Sikong shook his head and said:
"My parents died when I was ten years old, and I was captured and imprisoned in the mines for several years. I didn't know who the cultivators were, or demon cultivators. I just heard a few words from other miners."
"I have nowhere to go anyway, so why not just go with you..."
"I'm afraid this won't work!"
The old man of the Hu family frowned and rejected his request.
The journey to Jingguo was more than 100,000 miles away, and there was a certain degree of danger. He was unwilling to bring a tow bottle with him.
"Uncle Seven..."
At this time, Hu Weiwei suddenly raised her head again and began to plead for him.
The two argued for a long time, but in the end the old man from the Hu family couldn't resist her, so he had to agree to leave with Wu Sikong.
"boom!"
The three Hu family foundation-building monks took Hu Weiwei and Wu Siqiang and flew away in the escaping light, then disappeared.
…………
In Suiyu Mountain.
In the dilapidated small mountain city, Master Haihe, Zhang Yao and others are building the foundation, sitting here and presiding over the overall situation.
The entire mining area returned to its former high-pressure rule, and the remaining mining slaves were imprisoned. A group of people were urgently transferred from nearby sub-forums to support them.
People all over the mining area are busy, and the most important task at the moment is to count the specific losses.
"President."
Peng Yuexian's escape light fell, he bowed his hands and said:
"Those Hu family demon cultivators have left."
Master Haihe nodded slightly and said:
"Thanks for your hard work."
"The meeting leader's words are serious, but this is just a matter of duty."
Peng Yue responded first, then stepped aside to assist the remaining few in the foundation building work.
"Master, the losses have been calculated."
After a while, Duan Duizi held a dossier and said in a deep voice:
"The riot did not last long, but it also resulted in the death of 22 supervisors and serious injuries to 13 supervisors."
"Among the slaves in the two major mining areas, the losses in the black jade mining area have been great. More than two-thirds have died, and there are less than two hundred slaves left."
"The losses in the Taibai Fine Gold Mining Area were slightly smaller, but nearly half of the mine slaves were also killed or injured."
"The total number of slaves in the two major mining areas is only 474, and 37 of them are seriously injured. The ore production in the short term will definitely be greatly affected."
At this point, he paused and his tone became more cautious:
"When the Altar Formation was breached, the demon cultivators who built the foundation did not go on a killing spree, so there were no casualties among the cultivators in the city and they were all gone."
"However, subsequent inspections revealed that many formation base materials in Fentan Mountain City were not destroyed by the collision of formations, but rather seemed to be caused by direct external force damage."
"oh?"
Master Haihe narrowed his eyes and said:
"External forces directly destroyed the formation base materials buried deep underground..."
"So it means that the person in charge of the formation left his post without authorization at the critical moment, or simply withdrew his magic power, which caused the power of the formation to be greatly reduced and that it was easily broken?"
"right."
Duanzizi nodded and said:
"Judging from the remaining traces of the array base material, this is indeed the case."
"Not only that, when we counted the losses, we found that the formations in the mountain city warehouse were intact, but all the ores inside were missing..."
As soon as these words came out, several foundation-building monks looked at Zhang Yao with different expressions.
Within the GCC, many Foundation Establishment Masters have good relationships. The relationship between Zhang Yao and Li Shuixian was not deliberately concealed, and everyone knew it.
Now that this situation has arisen, it depends on whether Master Qingxu is willing to stand up for his lover.
"Qingxu, look at this..."
Master Haihe also cast his eyes on Zhang Yao, showing a hint of exploration.
"Why……"
Zhang Yao sighed and shook his head secretly.
If it was just a matter of leaving his post without permission, it would be okay. If he came forward to plead for mercy, it would not be impossible for everyone to be considerate.
But theft while in custody is a serious crime no matter where it is committed, and it cannot be washed away no matter how hard it is washed. If this is not punished severely, it will break the rules.
"What a stupid woman, short-sighted..."
"In other words, you have no confidence in me at all and don't believe that I will help her?"
Zhang Yao thought about this, his face showed a hint of indifference, and he said:
"Business matters."
As soon as these words came out, all the Foundation Establishment Masters understood and all withdrew their gazes.
"Then distribute the wanted order widely and use the channels of the Chamber of Commerce to spread it throughout Dali as quickly as possible!"
Master Haihe waved his sleeves and said in a deep voice:
"The reward is 10,000 spirit stones, life or death."
"yes."
Duanzizi responded and retreated.
As soon as he stepped back, a figure hurried over, bowed deeply and saluted with great respect:
"Zhou Xianhe paid homage to Master Haihe and met many other Masters."
"Get up."
Master Haihe nodded and asked:
"You are one of the supervisors here, right? You are here in a hurry, do you have something important to do?"
"Report to Master Haihe."
Zhou Xianhe took a deep breath before speaking:
"I am the supervisor in charge of the mine slaves. I actively suppressed the riot as soon as possible. I was also the first to clean up the corpses afterwards."
"But after I cleaned up the bodies of all the supervisors and mine slaves, I discovered that there were some omissions. After careful inspection, I found that someone had defected and left!"
"oh?"
Master Haihe narrowed his eyes, his tone was slightly colder, and he said in a deep voice:
"who is it?"
"It's Chen Long, the supervisor in charge of mining area production."
Zhou Xianhe quickly said:
"He has a high status and strong strength. Logically speaking, he shouldn't die easily at the hands of a mine slave."
"So after I finished counting and couldn't find his body, I became suspicious and looked around for clues. Only then did a mine slave say they saw him fleeing and leaving the mine."
Zhang Yao on the side heard this and said thoughtfully:
"It turns out it was him..."
"Um?"
Master Haihe's expression changed, he turned to look at him and asked:
"Qingxu, have you always had suspicions?"
"right."
Zhang Yao nodded and said calmly:
"The Feng family has been stealing black jade veins for more than 20 years, but no one has been able to discover it. It's really hard to explain."
"So I suspect that some of the supervisors are cheating and colluding with Feng Dujuan and others to steal the mines. Now it seems that it is Chen Long..."
Among the four major supervisors, only Lao Zhou and Lao Chen are really capable of colluding with the looters.
One of these two people is in charge of the mining slaves, and the other is in charge of the production of the mining area. They are both people who have access to the details of the forbidden escape formation and the mineral veins.
He originally suspected Zhou Xianhe, but he didn't expect that the real traitor was Chen Long, who had always behaved very honestly, low-key, and had no sense of existence.
"Traitors...should be killed!"
Master Haihe looked cold and said loudly:
"Then issue another wanted order with a reward of 30,000 spirit stones for this Chen Long. Anyone on sight will be killed without mercy. The reward will be based on the head!"
He said and added:
"By the way, we must also pay attention to interception and be careful to prevent this person from running into the territory of the Dubu Alliance and joining their ranks."
"yes."
The man on the side responded again.
After he noted it down, when he returned to Cangjiang Water Mansion, the people below would naturally arrange the matter.
After a while, after basically finishing the matters in the mining area, Haihe Zhenren looked at Zhang Yao and said:
"Qingxu, this time you were able to thwart the enemy's plan and uncover the excavation thief, and you deserve the greatest credit."
"For this great contribution, I will count your contribution of 20,000 yuan, how about it?"
Hearing this, Zhang Yao nodded and said:
"Okay, thank you, host."
His move this time had been planned for a long time, and it was all for the sake of the 'Six Directions True Blood'.
The 20,000 contribution points given by Master Haihe was an unexpected surprise, and it just wiped out the debt he had previously owed.
"Then it's settled."
Master Haihe said, stood up and said:
"This time, the mining area in Suiyu Mountain was in chaos. The casualties among the mining slaves were too heavy. It is inevitable that the production of the mining area will decline significantly."
"At least within a few years, it will be difficult to replenish so many mine slaves. Your duty to stay here should end early and return to Cangjiang Water Mansion with us."
"good."
Zhang Yao nodded in agreement and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
Even if the GCC master did not mention this matter, he would still make a proposal and prepare to end his stay in office early and return to the GCC headquarters.
After all, only after returning to Cangjiang Water Mansion can he start his next plan to collect the 'Six Directions True Blood'.
