"This...Lu Chen's prestige in Nebula Sect is already high enough, let alone now. Everyone is really convinced.
Just as Lu Chen was listening to the report of what happened these days, someone suddenly reported that someone from Taiyuanzong came to visit.
"What are the Taiyuanzong people doing here?" Lu Chen said, and walked out of the tent.
There were three people wearing the costumes of the elite disciples of Taiyuanzong standing not far away.
One of Taiyuanzong's leading people said: "Our elders invite you, Elder Liu, to go over and talk about the matter of the Xuantie mining area."
Lu Chen said: "What does our black iron mine need to discuss with you?"
The man said impatiently: "Stop talking nonsense, tell you Elder Liu to come out, you are a junior, what qualifications do you have to speak?" He saw Lu Chen as young, and thought Lu Chen was just an ordinary inner disciple.
Everyone looked at the man with strange expressions, Wang Xi immediately stood up, and said coldly: "Go back to your Taiyuan Sect's nest, don't be presumptuous here, or you will all be blown away."
The faces of the three people were ugly, and they sneered: "You'd better inform your Elder Liu immediately, otherwise you will miss the sect's important matter, and you can't bear the responsibility."
Lu Chen swung his right hand suddenly, and a strong gust of wind suddenly blew towards the three of them.
The bodies of the three Taiyuan Sect disciples were involuntarily blown into the air. They felt that the wind didn't look like wind, it was like blades blowing on their bodies. The clothes and robes all over their bodies were blown torn, and blood oozes from their skin.
The three of them rolled out tens of meters in a state of embarrassment, and when they got up, everyone looked like a beggar. Although they only suffered a little skin trauma, they were in such a state of distress that it is simply indescribable.
Everyone laughed when they saw the appearance of these three people.
The three got up in a panic and asked, "Are you Lu Chen or Jiang Tie?"
They naturally saw that Lu Chen's strength was not something they could provoke, and they could beat them like this with one move. After thinking about it, they could only be Lu Chen, Jiang Tie, Nangong Shenyu, Nangong Shenyu and Taiyuan Zong has always had a good relationship, so this attitude is impossible. Jiang Tie was seriously injured a few days ago, and he may still be recuperating in the sect. Obviously, this person can only be Lu Chen. The elder has an explanation.
"It seems that this shot is too light. It is necessary to let you know what pain is." Lu Chen said.
The three of them fled in a hurry, not daring to say a word of nonsense.
"Senior Brother Lu, the reason why these people from the Taiyuan Sect are so arrogant is mainly because of Elder Liu's connivance." Wang Xi said.
Lu Chen nodded to express his understanding.
Wang Xi wanted to remind him that Liu Qi belonged to the Nangong family, and the Nangong family had a good relationship with Taiyuanzong. Liu Qi might use Taiyuanzong's hand to deal with Lu Chen.
"Don't worry. I am not what I was two years ago." Lu Chen said, "Two years ago, I had no choice but to take Nangong Lingxiao. He said whatever he said. Now he no longer has this ability. It's him who's worried, not me."
"How should we deal with that Liu Qi?" At this point, Wang Xi lowered his voice and said: "Senior Brother Lu, I suspect that Liu Qi is colluding with the Taiyuan Sect to carve up this black iron mine."
Lu Chen nodded and said, "Don't spread the word. We can't talk nonsense about things without evidence."
Wang Xi quickly responded.
"However, if there is evidence, then Liu Qi must be dealt with." Lu Chen said in a deep voice.
...
The next day, Lu Chen thought that Liu Qi would come out of the mine, but he didn't know that he waited until the afternoon, but there was no sign of anyone.
Lu Chen didn't wait any longer, but took seven or eight inner disciples to the fourth mining area.
It is said that there is black iron essence in the fourth mining area, and Lu Chen wants to go down to see it for himself. He also suspects that Liu Qi has tampered with it secretly and embezzled the black iron essence.
After entering the mining area, Chase Lu discovered that the mine was like a maze, with various passages so intricate that it was almost impossible to get lost when walking in.
"Are you familiar with this place?" Lu Chen asked the people behind him.
"Elder Liu didn't let us in, and we haven't been there before, but we are familiar with other mining areas except the fourth mining area." Everyone said.
Lu Chen could only smile wryly. He just wanted to see what was abnormal in the fourth mining area. He didn't need to understand the other mining areas. He could understand it after listening to their dictation.
Everyone was walking around like headless chickens.
"Hey, there seems to be blood here." Wang Xi suddenly stopped and said.
There was a small black pool of blood on a rock on the ground.
Lu Chen had already sensed the abnormality, and pointed to a stone wall and said, "This place seems to have been hit. It seems that there is something abnormal in the cave, but it doesn't look like a monster, but it looks like someone is fighting."
"Is there someone?" Everyone was surprised.
Chase Lu was almost sure that someone inside had fought here, but the moves were more secretive, and the fighting was not violent, indicating that the battle ended quickly.
"Except for Liu Qi, who else has been here?" Lu Chen asked.
An inner disciple said: "Except for Liu Qi, it seems that two of Liu Qi's own disciples often come and go to this place, and no other outsiders have come here."
"No outsiders?" Lu Chen was a little confused, "Did someone sneak in?"
Everyone said it was impossible: "Elder Liu asked us to watch day and night, it is impossible for someone to sneak in."
"Oh? Is there another exit from this mine?" Chase Lu asked.
"It is indeed possible, but the cave here is already very deep, with a distance of hundreds of feet from the ground. Who can dig such a deep hole without knowing it?" Some people couldn't understand.
Lu Chen shook his head, it seemed that things were a little weird.
"Let's take a look again." He led the crowd to continue walking. After walking for a long time, the smell of blood in the air became heavier and heavier. Chase Lu followed the breath and walked over. It didn't take long before he saw a corpse.
"It's Li Chao, Liu Qi's direct disciple, why did he die?" Everyone was shocked.
"It was struck to death by someone's palm from behind, not a monster at all." Lu Chen said.
"Li Chao is already a master of the Ninth Level of Innate Heaven. If he can kill him with one move, the opponent must at least be a master of the Dongxuan Realm." Wang Xi said suddenly.
Everyone also had this kind of speculation, thinking that there might be a master of Dongxuan Realm in the mine, everyone shuddered.
Although Chase Lu is very strong, if the opponents are not weak, they will definitely suffer from the weak in the innate realm, and Chase Lu may not be able to keep them safe.
But they can only bite the bullet and follow behind Chase Lu, and now they can only hope that Chase Lu can solve all problems.
Lu Chen said with a smile: "Don't worry, this opponent may not be weak, but he won't be too strong either. You don't have to be nervous."
At this time, Chase Lu suddenly stopped and began to expand the range of perception.
Walking around like this, it is estimated that it would be impossible to figure out the situation here after ten days and a half months. The complexity of the mine exceeded his expectations.
By making the most use of perception and detecting nearby anomalies, one can find a route purposefully. Of course, doing so consumes a lot of energy and severely tests one's mental strength and profound energy.
At this time, Chase Lu suddenly felt someone 300 meters to the left.
He hurriedly walked to the left.
After a while, he saw the excavated soil on the road, and Wang Xi whispered: "Senior brother Lu, these are all black iron essence."
