Chapter 1707: Robbery 2.0
The elder stationed at the mine watched Ando Fu leave, and his polite expression disappeared rapidly. It was replaced by a sneer, “The ancestor of the Ando clan sure has a large appetite. He has only cultivated here for a few months, yet he wants half of our divine crystals. Even though it’s only half of all the divine crystals we’ve excavated in a few months, the miners are no longer the Sainthood cultivators from before but the Origin realm guards of our Lu family. It would obviously be much faster. I really wonder why the patriarch would agree to such a deal. In my opinion, just giving him a third would have been more than enough.”
The elder sighed when he reached this point. Regret covered his face, “It’s just a pity that the mysterious expert who attacked us a few months ago did not appear again. We’ve let the Ando clan benefit from this so easily.”
A short old man flew over from away. He bowed towards the elder and said, “Elder Lu Yun, we’ve been collecting more and more high grade divine crystals recently. This one believes that the mine is extremely likely to be a high grade one. Elder Lu Yu, please take a look at this.” The old man quickly pulled out a transparent crystal the size of a head from his Space Ring. It was a high grade divine crystal.
Even for elder Lu Yun, it was the first time he had seen such a large piece of high grade divine crystal. He immediately became surprised, but gloom soon replaced his surprise. He sighed, “Let alone it being high grade, we can’t even do anything if it was supreme grade. It’s not going to belong to us soon. The only thing we can blame is our lack of power to protect this treasure. Pass on the order that everyone much speed up their excavation. Gods of the Dong’an province have appeared in the clan, so they’ll appear here very soon. We have to excavate as many high grade divine crystals as possible before that happens.”
“Yes, elder Lu Yun. I’ll pass on the order immediately.” The old man became stern as well, and he ran off quickly. This old man was the supervisor of the mine before, but ever since an elder was stationed here a few months ago, he was reduced to a miner.
Aside from him, even the guards there had become miners. No one sat around idly apart from the elder.
Before long, two figures shot over through the outskirts of the Dark Cloud Mountains. They moved extremely quickly, arriving above the chasm in the mountains in a few moments. They radiated with powerful sword intent that flooded the surroundings.
This chasm was where the high grade divine crystal mine was located.
The elder’s face changed suddenly in the depths of the chasm. He suddenly turned his head towards the sky and saw two figures slowly descend. One of them only seemed to be in twenties, and his white robes and hair ruffled in the wind. His handsome face possessed a strong resolution, while his eyes were as sharp as swords.
The other person was a grey-robed, middle-aged man. His appearance was nothing special, and he was the type that would not raise any attention at all. However, even with his ordinary appearance, he still radiated with sword Qi that was powerful enough to cause Lu Yun to shiver. It was to the point where Lu Yun did not feel like he was facing a man but a sword.
The two of them were Jian Chen and Shen Jian.
“It’s you!” Lu Yun’s face changed when he saw Jian Chen and Shen Jian. Although this was the first time he had seen the duo personally, he was completely familiar with them. The Lu family had spent quite the effort in searching for the two of them and had learnt long ago that they always remained in the Mo clan. The ancestor feared them, so he never went to settle his debt with the Mo clan.
At the same time, when the mine was attacked several months before, they found out that it was Jian Chen who was responsible. Jian Chen and Shen Jian had become the greatest enemies of the Lu family long ago.
“They’ve come with hostile intent. Have they come to rob us of our divine crystals again? God dammit, why couldn’t they’ve come a little earlier or later? They just had to choose this time. Did that old bastard Ando Fu know that they were coming so he left early? No, I have to report to the ancestor as soon as possible. It’s impossible to stop the two of them without a God.” Lu Yun became extremely grim. With a flip of his hand, a jade talisman that was designed for communication appeared in his hand. He was activating it.
But at this moment, the surrounding temperature suddenly plummeted. Snow filled the skies. Lu Yun only saw a dazzling flash of light, and his wrist was cleaved off. Blood spurted out like a fountain.
