Alchemist Sword Sect - Chapter 4245

“This…the fourth mining area was led by Elder Liu Qi personally to mine. According to Elder Liu, although the fourth mining area contains the essence of black iron, it is very rare, and there are monsters in it, which are very dangerous. Ordinary disciples can’t Go in.” An inner disciple said.

“There are monsters? What monsters?” Lu Chen asked.

“Brother Lu, I have a brother who was killed in the fourth mining area eight days ago. Elder Liu said that he was killed by a monster and ordered us not to break in. We don’t know what monster it is.” One person replied.

“Oh? In that case, I’ll go down and see for myself.” Lu Chen said, “You guys, go down with me.”

Lu Chen randomly selected seven or eight inner disciples, including two Xiantian eighth-level and one Xiantian ninth-level martial artist.

“However, Elder Liu forbade us to go down.” A disciple hesitated.

“It doesn’t matter, I’ll just bear it if something happens.” Lu Chen said lightly.

At this time, another voice called out: “No, Zhang He’s injury is getting worse and worse.”

Everyone looked at the sound, only to see a wound on the ground cracked, and light black blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.

Lu Chen walked over, and everyone quickly gave way.

“Isn’t he going to take care of him if he’s injured? It seems like it’s been a while since he was injured. Why didn’t he treat him? If he couldn’t be saved, why didn’t he bring him back to the martial art?” Lu Chen asked coldly.

This kind of practice of disregarding the wounded is simply hurting people’s hearts and easily causing dissatisfaction among the disciples.

An inner disciple hurriedly said, “Zhang He was injured by someone from Jiuliu Sect. He was poisoned. We wanted to take him back to the sect, but Elder Liu said that he was in need of manpower and would not allow us to leave.”

“Then why didn’t he heal the wounded?” Lu Chen asked.

The disciple said angrily, “He said the poison penetrated into the bone marrow, and he couldn’t cure it.”

“Isn’t this a waste of life?” Lu Chen said.

Others dare not agree. However, it can be seen from their expressions that this Liu Qi treats ordinary inner and outer disciples, not treating them as human beings at all, but as slaves. The crowd dared not to speak out.

Lu Chen sneered and said, “That said, Liu Qi won’t do much here. When he comes out, I’ll tell him to go back.”

As he said that, he waved his palm out, and a green light of profound energy penetrated into Zhang He’s body. In a short while, more than half of the toxins in Zhang He’s body had been removed, and the black energy on his face had also disappeared.

Although he did not recover from his injuries, at least he was out of danger.

Others were overjoyed when they saw that Lu Chen was willing to heal an inner disciple with a low level of cultivation, and thanked him repeatedly.

“What’s poisoned into the bone marrow, it’s all excuses.” Lu Chen asked, “When will Liu Qi come out?”

One person said, “Maybe it will come out tomorrow.”

“Then wait until tomorrow.” Lu Chen nodded. Then start arranging matters in the mining area, setting up vigilance, and rationally deploying everyone’s collection work.

When everyone saw that Lu Chen was not older than them, but not only was he highly cultivated, but he was also very well-organized in his arrangements, and everyone was immediately convinced.

Originally, Lu Chen’s prestige in the Nebula Sect was already high enough, let alone now. The crowd is truly convincing.

Just as Lu Chen was listening to the report below on what had happened these days, someone suddenly reported that someone from the Taiyuan Sect was visiting.

“What are the people from Taiyuanzong doing?” Lu Chen said, and walked out of the tent.

There were three people dressed in the costumes of the elite disciples of Taiyuanzong standing not far away.

The leader of the Taiyuan Sect said: “Our elders invite you, Elder Liu, to talk and discuss the matter of the Xuan Iron Mine.”

Lu Chen said, “What do we need to discuss with you about our mysterious iron ore?”

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 that Lu Chen was young and thought that 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 the bird’s nest of your Taiyuan Sect, don’t be presumptuous here, or they will all be blasted away.”

The three of them looked ugly and sneered: “You’d better inform you Elder Liu immediately, otherwise you will miss the important event of the sect, and you can’t bear the responsibility.”

Lu Chen’s right hand suddenly waved out, and a strong gust of wind suddenly blew towards the three.

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 a blade scraping on their bodies.

The three of them rolled out dozens of meters in embarrassment. When they got up, everyone looked like a beggar. Although they only suffered a little skin trauma, they were in a state of utter despair.

When everyone saw the appearance of the three people, they all laughed.

The three hurriedly got up and asked, “Are you Lu Chen or Jiang Tie?”

They naturally see that Lu Chen’s strength is not something they can provoke. If they can beat them into this with one move, they can only be Lu Chen, Jiang Tie, Nangong Shenyu, Nangong Shenyu and Tai Yuan. Zong has always had a good relationship, so this attitude is impossible. Jiang Tie was severely injured a few days ago, and he may still be recovering from the sect. Obviously, this person can only be Lu Chen. The elders have 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 quickly fled, not daring to say a word of nonsense.

“Senior Brother Lu, these people from the Taiyuan Sect are so arrogant mainly because of the connivance of Elder Liu.” Wang Xi said.

Lu Chen nodded his understanding.

Wang Xi wanted to remind him that Liu Qi was a member of the Nangong family, and the Nangong family had a good relationship with the Taiyuan Sect. Liu Qi might use the Taiyuan Sect to deal with Lu Chen.

“Don’t worry. Now I am not two years ago.” Lu Chen said, “Two years ago, I had no way to take Nangong Lingxiao, he said what he said, and now he has no such ability, now he should It’s him who’s worried, not me.”

“What should Liu Qi do?” Having said that, Wang Xi lowered his voice and said, “Senior Brother Lu, I suspect Liu Qi colluded with Taiyuan Sect to divide up this mysterious iron ore.”

Lu Chen nodded and said, “Don’t spread it out. We can’t talk nonsense about things without evidence.”

Wang Xi hurriedly 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 anyone until the afternoon.

Lu Chen did not wait any longer, but took seven or eight inner disciples to the fourth mining area.

It is said that the fourth mining area has the essence of black iron. Lu Chen wanted to go down and see for himself. He also suspected that Liu Qi had secretly manipulated and embezzled the essence of black iron.

After entering the mining area, Lu Chen found that the mine was like a labyrinth, with various passages intricate and complicated, and it was almost impossible to get lost when you walked 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 the other mining areas except for the fourth mining area.” Everyone said.

Lu Chen could only smile bitterly. He just wanted to see what was wrong in the fourth mining area. The other mining areas didn’t need to know about it, just listened to their dictation.

People are walking around like flies without heads.

“Hey, there seems to be blood here.” Wang Xi suddenly stopped and said.

There was a small pool of black blood on a rock on the ground.

Lu Chen had already felt the abnormality, pointed to a stone wall and said, “It seems that it has been hit here. 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.”

“Anyone?” Everyone was taken aback.

Lu Chen was almost certain that someone had done it here, but the action was relatively secretive, and the fight was not violent, indicating that the battle ended quickly.

“Apart from 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 in this place, and no other outsiders have come.”

“No outsiders?” Lu Chen was a little puzzled, “Did someone sneak in?”

Everyone said it was impossible: “Elder Liu told us to guard it day and night, and it is impossible for anyone to sneak in.”

“Oh? Does this mine have another exit?” Lu Chen asked.

“This is indeed possible, but the cave is already very deep, and it is hundreds of feet away from the ground. Who can dig such a deep hole without knowing it?” Some people can’t understand.

Lu Chen shook his head, it seemed that things were a little weird.

“Let’s take a look.” He continued to walk with the crowd. After a while, the blood in the air became heavier and heavier. Lu Chen 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 killed by someone’s palm from behind, it’s not a monster at all.” Lu Chen said.

“Li Chao is already a master of the Nine Heavens, and if he can kill him with one move, his opponent is at least a master of the Cave Profound Realm,” Wang Xi said suddenly.

Everyone also had this kind of speculation, and they all shuddered when they thought that there might be experts in the profound cave in the mine.

Although Lu Chen is very strong, if his opponents are not weak, the weaklings in the innate realm will definitely suffer, and Lu Chen may not be able to keep them all.

However, they can only bite the bullet and follow Lu Chen closely, and now they can only hope that Lu Chen can solve all problems.

Lu Chen said with a smile: “Don’t worry, this opponent may not be weak, but it won’t be too strong, you don’t have to be nervous.”

At this moment, Lu Chen suddenly stopped and began to expand his perception range.

Walking around like this, it is estimated that after ten days and a half, it is impossible to figure out the situation here. The complexity of the mine is beyond his expectations.

By using perception to the maximum extent and detecting nearby anomalies, you can purposefully find a route. Of course, doing so consumes a lot of money, and it will severely test one’s mental power and profound energy.

At this time, Lu Chen suddenly felt someone 300 meters to the left.

He hurriedly walked over to the left.

In a moment, he saw the dirt excavated on the road, Wang Xi whispered: “Senior Brother Lu, these are all the essence of black iron.”
