After the old city lord Jiang Zhen settled the five immortal patrol envoys of Penglai Immortal Sect, he said goodbye and left the luxury inn to return to the city lord's mansion, with a worried look on his face.

Several young Qi Refining Cultivators from the Jiang family followed behind, feeling sad and depressed.

This time, dozens of Qi Refining Miners died in the mine cave. It was the most serious vicious casualties in recent decades, but the cause has not been found yet. I only knew that it was a powerful monster attack, but I don’t know what the monster was and where it came from.

The monks in the entire Qingwuxian City were panicked and did not dare to go to the mine to mine. In this noisy, almost 70% or 80% of the mine caves stopped, and the miners and monks stayed in the city to watch.

You should know that Qingwu Fairy City is located in a cold and painful place, which is a mining fairy city. Almost all monks make a living by mining spiritual mines and refining minerals. Stop mining, which has a great impact on the income and livelihood of monks in the fairy city.

Even some small immortal cultivators in the city took the opportunity to clamor and spread rumors that this disaster was caused by Jiang's family. Jiang was not worthy of sitting in the position of the city lord and asked for a change of the city lord.

If this matter is not resolved as soon as possible, the truth will be revealed and the monks in the city will be explained to the monks in the city that the Jiang family, who had been working hard for decades, would be forced to give way.

"Dad, there has never been a powerful monster in our Qingwu Fairy City. The fierce thing this time is so strange. Who do you think is assassinating us this time?"

The young monk who escaped from the mine said in a frustration.

Old City Lord Jiang shook his head with a calm face and said, "Penglai Immortal Sect is our backer. Eighty percent of the mines we dug are transported to Penglai Immortal Sect. They have always been satisfied, so naturally there is no reason to cause trouble for us. One percent are transported to the Ten Thousand Beasts Immortal Sect, and the last one is transported to the north. Except for Penglai Immortal Sect, everyone else is suspicious!"

"Will this be done by the people of the Ten Thousand Beast Immortal Sect? They thought it was too few and wanted to have more mines, so they provoked trouble and wanted to make our Jiang family go to the family they supported to be the city lord?"

The young monk whispered.

"The position of the lord of Qingwu Immortal City is not easy to sit in! The share of Penglai Immortal Sect cannot be moved, otherwise, without the support of the Immortal Sect, how can you sit steadily? But the Ten Thousand Beasts Immortal Sect is very close to our Qingwu City, so I can't afford to offend you."

Lord Jiang shook his head, full of helplessness.

The position of the Lord of Qingwu City is like burning his butt, and the wolves are looking around. Sometimes he really wants to let his hands go.

However, there are some good things in this mine where the accident happened, very rare minerals that can help Jiang's family get hundreds of years of immortal fortune. He has always wanted to keep this secret mine, and the Jiang family's tribe secretly dug it out so that outsiders can know it.

But dozens of lives suddenly caused him to be in a state of great trouble. I am afraid that the secret mine in the mine would not be able to be saved even if I wanted to.

But he can only drive the wolf to swallow the tiger.

Nothing happened overnight.

The next morning, the monks made an appointment to gather at the City Lord's Mansion. Old City Lord Jiang had already been at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, waiting anxiously for a long time to welcome everyone.

Su Chen got up early and saw that Ji Yuanzheng was no longer in the wing room. Before Sun Ruoxiang, Ge Yun and others got up, he came to the hall of the city lord's mansion, but found that he was the only one who arrived first in the Penglai Immortal Sect.

The three cultivators from the Ten Thousand Beasts Immortal Sect have not arrived yet, only the casual cultivator, Taoist Ge, and the charming young woman, are each sitting in the lobby of the city lord's mansion.

Both of these two people have the cultivation level of the early stage of foundation building, which is almost the same as Su Chen. I don’t know what their origins are, but they will appear in Qingwu Immortal City at this time.

It is already very difficult to reach the foundation-building state with the body of a casual cultivator.

Su Chen admired the two casual cultivators quite much and bowed to them, "I have met fellow Taoist Ge in the lower class, Fellow Taoist Ge, Fellow Taoist Fang!"

The old Taoist priest Ge in Youfang was meditating, raised his lower eyes, looked at Su Chen indifferently, and bowed back, "You are kind to fellow Taoist Su!" Then he stopped talking.

The charming young woman threw a look on her face, but said enthusiastically: "As a disciple of Penglai, Brother Su is so young, she is already in the third level of the early stage of foundation building. It really makes my sister envious! I have worked hard like my sister. I have been thinking about the way of cultivation. I have been busy for most of my life and have not long been building the foundation. Sister, I am in the world of cultivation and have never seen a kind sect disciple like Brother Su. I am destined to be close to Brother Su and discuss the ways of cultivation."

Su Chen smiled secretly, and she didn't dare to believe her words. It would cost a lot to build a foundation by casual cultivators. Who knows where she came from?

He smiled faintly, "Fellow Daoist Fang, you are very impressed by me. By the way, what about the others, haven't come yet?"

"Who knows! The young master of the Ten Thousand Beast Immortal Sect is not sure why. Even though he knows that the Qingwu Immortal City is close to your Penglai Immortal Sect, he still comes over and gets involved."

The charming young woman shook her head and said, "Last night, I saw them go out in the middle of the night and have never returned to the inn. Most of them have seen someone. Maybe they are just making trouble in secret and want to take the opportunity to cause trouble! My sister and Brother Su hit it off at first sight, so they should be more careful and beware of them."

"Fellow Daoist Fang, be careful of the trouble coming out of our mouths. We travel around the place and earn some spirit stones to practice, which will benefit you. There is no need to offend people. The Ten Thousand Beasts Immortal Sect is not something we can afford to provoke."

Taoist Ge suddenly opened his eyes and said lightly.

"Brother Ge said this too! Help Lord Jiang solve this matter and leave with money. You don't dare to get involved in your Immortal Sect's affairs!"

The charming young woman smiled, as if she was also taboo, so she stopped talking about this. She chatted about some interesting things encountered in the world of immortal cultivation, and she smiled from time to time.

Su Chen nodded lightly and sat down on the mat next to him.

He naturally heard that the words of Old Taoist Ge and the charming young woman pointed at the Ten Thousand Beasts Immortal Sect. He started chatting with them in a mess.

They drank a few cups of spiritual tea. After waiting for nearly an hour, they saw Ji Yuanzheng, Zhuang Bufan and other monks arrive one after another. Wei Zhuo and three monks from the Ten Thousand Beast Immortal Sect arrived late.

At noon.

More than a dozen foundation-building monks left Qingwu Fairy City, flew with swords and rainbows, and came to a large mine area hundreds of miles north of the Fairy City.

This ore area is getting colder and more desolate, with bare rocks and few trees.

Su Chen stood on the flying sword and looked north.

This cold and bitter land seems to have no boundaries between heaven and earth, and is covered in gray, giving people a sense of boundless vastness.

He once looked at the map of the Tang Dynasty Middle Earth, and it seemed that the border of the Tang Dynasty was near the Qingwu Fairy City, and the map did not indicate where the outside world was.

The world is so big that it is still vast after crossing the border, which shocked Su Chen.

He was about to ask where is the north.

Sun Ruoxiang had already taken the lead and asked in great surprise, "Senior Brother Ji, where is the place where is the north of this place? Is there an end? After a while, we will go and take a look!"

Ji Yuan's face changed and he hurriedly said, "No! This Qingwu Immortal City is already the most edge of the northeastern edge of the Tang Dynasty.

Going further north, it is a place where the climate is colder and droughtier than here. Only some northern Yi tribes live. These northern Yi tribes, primitive tribes that were even more backward than the Huns, believe in the gods of barbarians and practice barbarian skills, not my people of the Tang Dynasty. My Middle-earth monks enter the land of the northern Yi and encounter barbarian cultivators, and they will be in trouble."

"This northern Yi land outside the world is the end of the land of China?"

Sun Ruoxiang thought and said curiously.

Ji Yuan was hesitating and shook his head and said, "This is not. It is said that after passing the boundless desolate land of the Beiyi tribe, you can reach a sea of ​​ice all the way north.

If you cross this endless ice sea, it is the legendary Beiming land recorded in the Immortal Book. Don’t think too much, with our strength, you can’t go there."

He was not very clear about it, but he had seen it accidentally in the immortal scriptures.

When Lord Jiang heard this, he laughed and said, "Miss Sun, let alone the land of Beiming. Even if it is the land outside the Beiyihua area in front of you, you will not go there."

"Why is this?"

"In the middle of the border between our Qingwu Fairy City and the Beiyi Tribe, there is a land called Tianfeng Gorge, which is the junction of both sides. The terrain of Tianfeng Gorge was extremely dangerous, and the sky was filled with sharp wind and could not fly with swords. The ground was more than ten thousand feet deep. If you take a wrong step, you will fall into the bottomless abyss and be swallowed by monsters at the bottom of the valley.

This place was occupied by an evil monk named the Demon Evil Alliance. They all committed crimes in Middle Earth and could not survive. They fled to the edge of the cracks in this cold and bitter place, and struggled to survive between Middle Earth and Northern Yi.

The Tiansha Alliance is difficult to enter and exit, the climate is dry, the wind and sand are windy all year round, and the environment is extremely harsh. There are countless monsters. It is precisely because of this extremely steep canyon that is close to the Beiyi land.

The major immortal sects in China were difficult to attack and did not want to arouse fierce opposition from the barbarian cultivators of the Northern Yi. This Demon Alliance barely survived.

The major immortal sects in China have always hated the Demon Evil Alliance, and there is no reason to say that once they encounter it, they will fight. Therefore, most of the monks of the Demon Evil Alliance stay in Tianfeng Gorge and rarely dare to cross the canyon and return to the Central Land Realm. Naturally, we dare not go there at will.

It is difficult for us to cross the Demon Alliance and enter the territory of the Beiyi Tribe. As long as they do not enter the Central Earth territory, the five major immortal sects will ignore them."

"The Demon Evil Alliance is hostile to our Zhengdao Immortal Sect, so won't you attack Qingwu Immortal City?"

Sun Ruoxiang was very curious. You should know that most of the Qingwu Immortal City are cultivators in Qi Refining Stage and are very weak.

"They can't stand this territory even if they attacked. When the golden elixir monks of Penglai Immortal Sect came, they fled faster than their grandson, and then retracted into Tianfeng Gorge. Penglai Immortal Sect was not easy to cross the line, causing disputes with barbarian monks."

Old City Lord Jiang smiled bitterly.

Moreover, a small amount of ore dug out of Qingwu Immortal City flowed to the Demon Evil Alliance in the north. Selling some ore for them to exchange for peace, so as not to keep the monks of the Demon Evil Alliance thinking about this place. Over time, the Penglai Immortal Sect turned a blind eye to this.

The foundation-building monks of Penglai Immortal Sect rarely pay attention to these things, and may not know them. However, he, the Lord of Qingwu City, has lived here for a long time, but he is very clear about it.

Su Chen was surprised when he heard these words.

The surrounding situation is so complicated in this bitter and cold place of Qingwu Immortal City. There is one of the five major sects in the south, the Ten Thousand Beasts Immortal Sect in the west, and the Demon Sha Alliance and the Barbarian Cultivators of the Beiyi Tribe in the north.

The Qingwu Immortal City is weak, but it is stuck in the middle, so it is very uncomfortable.

The foundation-building monks arrived at the mining area with their swords and flew down.

The mine where the accident happened was one of the copper concentrate mines.

The entrance to the cave of this mine corridor was sealed by a huge rock of more than tens of thousands of kilograms.

There were more than dozens of Qi Refining Cultivators from Qingwu Immortal City guarding the entrance of this cave day and night to prevent monsters from rushing out from inside. They were all miners and dispatched from other mine caves.

“How is the situation here?”

Lord Jiang asked the miners in a deep voice.

"Report to the city lord, the mine has not been moved after it was blocked. The monster should still be inside!"

The Qi Refiner quickly reported respectfully.

Lord Jiang nodded, asked everyone to push away the huge rock, open the entrance of the mine, and let the Qi Refining Cultivators enter the mine to explore the way.

He and the foundation-building monks followed the miners in.

"please!"

"Fellow Taoists of Penglai Immortal Sect are very powerful, please first!"

The foundation-building monks were humble to each other. Although they were strong, in the narrow place of the mine, it would still be dangerous to walk ahead in the face of unknown dangers.

City Lord Jiang also knew that no one of the foundation-building monks would be willing to be in front of the front, so he could only let the Qi-refining miners in Qingwu Immortal City lead the way.

Lord Jiang was advanced, and more than a dozen other foundation-building monks gave in and then entered the deep mine together to check the situation inside.

As soon as Su Chen entered the mine, he felt cold and as if there was a cold wind in his body.

Not far from the entrance of the cave, and when you reach the depths of the mine, the bodies of some Qi Refining Miners can be seen everywhere.
