Chapter 264 - 264 It Was Actually Him Who Came to Save Us

264 It Was Actually Him Who Came to Save Us

Most of the sects these people belonged to had grudges against Ye Xuan, and some even wanted to frame and pour dirty water on Ye Xuan. The scene from that time was still vivid in their minds. They condemned Ye Xuan together, not even showing him a friendly face.

In the end, Ye Xuan suddenly became someone entrusted by their sect. It could only be said that things had developed too quickly, and they could no longer keep up with what was happening.

Ye Xuan said he was there to help them, but no one would believe him.

Someone expressed his doubts and subconsciously took a few steps back. He looked at Ye Xuan vigilantly. “I don’t believe it!”

Ye Xuan’s appearance here was already very suspicious, and he was even alone. It was hard to say if this was a conspiracy of the demonic beasts or if what they had accused Ye Xuan of was true.

Ye Xuan was colluding with the demonic beasts. Otherwise, how could he explain his appearance here?

Ye Xuan spread his hands helplessly. “If you don’t believe me, then forget it.”

Looking at his indifferent attitude, everyone thought that Ye Xuan would explain. Yet he just said this?

Ye Xuan spoke with a smile, but the words from his mouth gave them goosebumps.

“If that’s the case, then you guys can go back and continue mining. There’s no harm in mining for the rest of your lives. I’ll report the situation truthfully. As for those who want to leave with me, you can come.”

Mining!

This word seemed to have touched the most sensitive part of everyone. For a moment, everyone’s expression became nervous. They would not return to that damn place even if someone threatened to kill them.

The others looked at each other and thought of the dark days of mining that were worse than death. They immediately stepped forward. Whether Ye Xuan’s appearance was a trick, the worst result was already like this. It couldn’t be any worse.

“Let’s follow him. What if it’s true? I’d rather die than go to the mines.”

“Yeah, maybe it’s true. At least there’s still a chance of survival.”

With the idea of giving up, many people followed Ye Xuan, revealing flattering grins.

“Elder Ye, we were joking just now. It was just a casual remark. Don’t take it to heart.”

Even if they didn’t want to be humble, Ye Xuan was the only one who could take them away. They had to lower their status when it was necessary.

…

Seeing that their companion was indecisive and had changed sides quickly, some people were flustered and exasperated. But there was nothing they could do. They looked at Ye Xuan’s gradually walking away and finally gritted their teeth and followed.

At this moment, a ghostly voice sounded. It was thunderous and carried an oppressive aura that could not be ignored.

“I’ll teach you a small lesson this time. If there’s a next time, you’ll lose your lives!”

They would never forget this voice. It was the flood dragon. Once again, a shadow loomed over everyone’s hearts, and they hastened their steps.

“You guys wait for me!”

Everyone followed behind Ye Xuan for a moment, and only the sound of footsteps could be heard. The seal was still tied to them, so they were temporarily unable to use their spiritual energy and spells.

It was different from when they entered. Before this, they kept going around and couldn’t get out of this space.

Under Ye Xuan’s lead, the group only took a few turns before the scenery in front of them suddenly became clear. Even the light became brighter as if the light was ahead of them.

The originally vigilant people gradually let go of their suspicions. According to the current situation, they had a chance of leaving. Ye Xuan did not need to show them these, even if he wanted to lie to them.

After all, they were currently too weak. Their life and death were still uncertain.

Seeing the light getting brighter, everyone’s breathing became more rapid. After staying in the dark environment for a long time, they couldn’t help but raise their hands to block the piercing light.

After a clear look at the surrounding environment, it was still the same towering trees, and the environment was very dark. However, the others revealed excited smiles.

“We’ve finally made it out!”

After escaping from that ghostly dark place, they didn’t have to mine in the dark. They didn’t expect it to be so easy and didn’t even encounter any obstacles along the way.

Previously, everyone was still a little worried. As they got closer to Changping, their eyes glowed with hope again.

“We’re finally out of here. I’m not dreaming, am I?”

Leaving the dark mine vein and stepping on solid ground again, everyone felt like they were in a dream.

The people of Changping didn’t expect Ye Xuan and the others to return so quickly, so Yi Chengrui quickly went up to welcome them.

“This is great. Elder Ye has finally brought everyone out safely. I was worried that if anything happened to you, how would I explain it to the people in Jingdu?”

Yi Chengrui hypocritically squeezed out a few crocodile tears. No one could find any fault with his attitude. Even the words that they wanted to blame were stuck to them.

Why didn’t he send anyone over when they were missing? Was he going to stand here and watch?

However, considering the cultivation and strength of these people, even if he sent people over, they would probably end up the same way as them.

The grand elders all looked disgusted. That mining experience could be said to be their dark history. But their spiritual power had not recovered yet, and they did not want to be disturbed.

Ye Xuan guessed they were too tired from mining and were not in the mood to vent their anger on others. Qian Yuan’s seal would only lose its effect after some time, so he believed they would be more obedient.

Ye Xuan also sent people to Jingdu to deliver on the situation and news and have the sects prepare the remaining gifts of gratitude.

To put it nicely, it was the gift of gratitude. But to put it bluntly, it was the ransom money.
