Chapter 2080 - Ore Vein (2/2)

Old Man Li saw that the two of them still harboured a desire to go to the ore vein and turned pale with fright. He blurted, “I told you these things because I wanted you to understand the situation over there, and to prepare your hearts.”

He didn’t want them to send themselves to death there.

“I know, but knowing that there’s treasure here, how can I let it go?”

“But that place is too dangerous. Furthermore, even without mentioning that undetectable energy, that place is already under the control of the authorities, and I’m guessing that it is heavily guarded. If you want to snatch that ore mountain, it is simply too difficult.”

“We know. That is why we didn’t plan to head there right after arriving at Great Bridge City.” Sima You Yue said seriously.

Old Man Li: “…….”

“Uncle Li, you do not have to be too worried or scared. You just have to take us near the ore vein. You don’t have to come in with us.” Sima You Yue said.

“That… alright.” Old Man Li sighed, “Although I cannot interfere with or sway your decision, I still hope that you will reconsider this. Once you go there, you will have to face the natural forces and the guards of the City Lord’s Manor. It will be a dual-faceted issue.”

“Thank you, I will seriously consider this problem.” Sima You Yue did not reject him immediately. However, Old Man Li could tell that she did not take his words to heart.

He left with a sigh. It was difficult for him to encounter such rich people, and he hoped that their abilities matched with the strength that they portrayed.

After he left, Wu Lingyu set up a barrier in the house.

“What do you think about what he said?” Sima You Yue asked.

“Are you talking about the hidden power in the ore vein?”

“Mm, I have a feeling that this is rather similar to the force inside the ore vein, but I’m not too certain.”

“The force has been the ore vein’s power all along, and isn’t rare to commoners, but to reach the extent of the situation that Uncle Li described, isn’t something that an ordinary force can do.” Wu Lingyu analysed.

“It seems like we won’t be able to make any judgments without going there personally.” SIma You Yue was rather excited. She secretly wondered how likely their chances of success would be.

As long as it was due to a force, with Mi Er around, no matter how powerful it was, they would be able to deal with it nicely and easily. Otherwise, this venture would be rather dangerous.

“That can’t be the only thing you take into consideration. If there are massive military troops standing guard, if we want to obtain the ore vein fully, we will have to spend a bit of thought on it.”

“Mm hmm, let’s go find out more about the situation before deciding.”

The winds wrecked the place for around half a month. Once it was over, those from Wu Xiang City immediately flared up. Actually, most of those who were cheering were those who had only entered the city in the last few days. If not because they had rushed up, the outcome might have been like those people that had been swept into the skies..

The great array that was protecting the city was turned off, and those who had come to hide wanted to leave. However, there was a wave of activity that suddenly started from the City Lord’s Manor.

“City Lord has advanced! City Lord has advanced!’

The citizens inside the city cheered excitedly, giving Sima You Yue a headache. Once the Tempest Season was over, those people wanted to capture them. It seemed like a battle was certain to break out. Quickly, a group of people surrounded the bottom of their inn.

Sima You Yue saw the people walking with Bai Mei Gui and pursed her lips. Could it be that they were coming to look for her the moment they emerged?
