The mine itself was one big treasure. Jiang Chen wouldn’t have to go anywhere else in the remaining days.
It occurred to Gao Huoling that those who had left could expose the mine’s location.
When she told Jiang Chen about her concern, he spoke as if he had taken that into consideration long before. “Green Ghost’s men ran away, so the position of the mine has been released, not to mention the disturbance we caused.”
“So what are you going to do?” Gao Huoling asked curiously.
“Dig more crystals before trouble comes.”
Although Jiang Chen had wanted to take everything from the mine, there were too many enemies lurking in the small world. Even if no one disturbed him, he still wouldn’t be able to exploit all of the crystals of fire dragon on his own.
That was why Green Ghost had enslaved so many people, but Jiang Chen wasn’t him. He wouldn’t do that.
Gao Huoling’s concern was necessary. Not far from the mine, a team was gathering.
They had been attracted here by the radiance given off by the Red Cloud Sword when it had become a magic weapon, but after the radiance was gone, they had lost track of it. They only roughly knew the direction.
“Apprentice Brother Lin, we have new information. Many people are coming from the southwest!”
They found those who had escaped from the mine. The leader of this team was Lin Jingyu from the Hero Palace. After getting the news, he immediately went to meet these people.
They learned what had happened in the mine from them.
“Jiang Chen killed Green Ghost? Are you sure this Jiang Chen is the same one from the Hero Palace?” Mo Jianfei was also in the team. He was totally shocked, unable to accept the news.
As fast as Jiang Chen’s development was, even if Mo Jianfei had a chance to chase him, he wouldn’t be able to see even a shadow of the former.
“A mine of crystals of fire dragon?”
Lin Jingyu didn’t really care about Jiang Chen. Because he was ranked seventeenth, no matter whether Jiang Chen was ranked ninetieth or thirty-first, it was all the same for him.
However, a mine of crystals of fire dragon was a great temptation for him.
“Let’s go.” Lin Jingyu let out a cold laugh, ready to take action.
Gnashing his teeth, Mo Jianfei said through holy awareness, “Apprentice brother, shall we talk for a minute?”
“Yeah?”
Lin Jingyu was surprised. He waved his hand, and those around him all left for the moment.
“Apprentice brother, will you turn in the crystals of fire dragon to the Hero Palace after retrieving them from the mine?” said Mo Jianfei.
“Of course. I won’t be able to use them.”
“But it’s Jiang Chen who found the mine. It was also him who killed Green Ghost. Even if you take the crystals and give them to the Hero Palace, Jiang Chen could claim you’ve robbed them from him so that he could take more than half of the credit for what you’ve done,” said Mo Jianfei anxiously.
Lin Jingyu squinted, expressionless. There was no way to tell what he was thinking about.
“Mo Jianfei, huh, Mo Jianfei, even if you use me to get rid of Jiang Chen, you still won’t be a match for him.” Lin Jingyu patted Mo Jianfei’s shoulder hard. His voice was low. It was worthwhile to ruminate over his remark.
Mo Jianfei turned ashen, not knowing how to answer.
“But Jiang Chen is extremely annoying. Tell me. What’s your plan?” said Lin Jingyu.
Mo Jianfei cheered up immediately. Encouraged by Lin Jingyu, he nodded at the latter, then flew up to those who were on the run.
“The Hero Palace won’t put up with Jiang Chen’s behavior anymore. You worked so hard to dig out those crystals, but he took them for his own use. That’s shameless.”
Mo Jianfei sounded righteous. He said in a low voice, “As long as you agree, Lin Jingyu, the Hero Palace’s disciple of inheritance, will seek justice for you and teach those who have brought shame upon the Hero Palace a lesson.”
These people were encouraged. They had thought this team would protect Jiang Chen, since they were all from the Hero Palace.
“Can we really take the crystals we mined back?” someone asked.
“Of course. Apprentice Brother Lin Jingyu is ranked seventeenth on the Dragon Rise List. He isn’t just an average man,” Mo Jianfei said proudly.
Lin Jingyu, ranked seventeenth!
This gave them confidence. Although Jiang Chen was strong, he had spit up blood while facing Green Ghost, who had been ranked thirty-first. Of course he wouldn’t be a match for Lin Jingyu.
“Great! If we’ve got Apprentice Brother Lin’s help, we won’t refuse it!”
They were going back to the mine to revenge themselves.
“Good job,” Lin Jingyu said, satisfied with Mo Jianfei’s plan.
Mo Jianfei looked proud, like a loyal dog that had received its master’s praise.
The team, formed by ten-odd people, set off to the mine.
In the mine, Jiang Chen had dug out many crystals of fire dragon in the deepest part of the pit, but his main target was still the source of crystals.
He had made good discoveries, too. He had found six sources of crystals in all. The results were fruitful.
He was thinking about whether to deploy a practicing tactical formation in the pit or not. Since crystals of fire dragon were everywhere, the effects of practicing tactical formations would be greatly improved.
Now that he already had the idea, he put it into action right away. He deployed the tactical formation in the deepest part of the pit, then went back to the ground. He had something to tell Gao Huoling.
Yet when he had walked out of the pit, he found everyone was looking up.
He looked up, too, and found those who had left had come back again. However, they looked completely different.
“Jiang Chen, come out!”
One of those who had knelt down before Jiang Chen to beg for his mercy shouted in the air, as if he was fairly confident.
Jiang Chen smiled coldly. He held the Star Chasing Bow and put an arrow onto it. Without saying a word, he pulled the string.
The sharp arrow whooshed across the sky and pierced through the guy’s chest. The arrow kept flying, not losing any of its power.
“I told you I wasn’t a good person. Don’t challenge my patience. Who else wants me to come out?” Jiang Chen shouted.
The aggressive people were frightened by the arrow’s shot. Recalling how dreadful Jiang Chen was, they looked at each other and stopped yelling.
“Jiang Chen, how cruel you are. Do you know who you just killed? Wu Yu, the Wus’ young master. The Wus are one of the forces that support the Hero Palace!”
Mo Jianfei came forward from the crowd. Compared to the others, he was happy to see Jiang Chen shoot the arrow.
“Yeah?”
Jiang Chen put the last Star Chasing Arrow he had on the string and pointed it at Mo Jianfei. He said, “And you’re a key disciple of the Hero Palace. Let me send you to hell.”
“You!”
Mo Jianfei froze. He couldn’t help but step back. He knew how unbridled Jiang Chen was, but he was still shocked by the latter’s madness.
“How dare you. The Murongs won’t let you go if you kill me!” Mo Jianfei shouted.
“Hahaha, what’s your relation with the Murongs? Murong Yuan’s fiancé? What a pity. Your fiancée’s already dead,” Jiang Chen said, laughing.
“What?!”
Mo Jianfei hadn’t heard the news yet. He couldn’t believe Jiang Chen. He said, “Murong Yuan is with Murong Long. How could you kill her?”
“Believe it or don’t. I let you go once, like those beside you, but they’ve come back, just like you. So you and them will end up the same.” As he spoke, he was preparing to pull the string to shoot the Star Chasing Arrow.
