“Mine collapse?”
Qin Xuan was startled, then immediately realized what was happening and quickly ran.
He was truly unlucky; he had just arrived here and already encountered a mine collapse!
Thinking this, Qin Xuan quickly rushed outside.
At this moment, people in various passages were continuously rushing out, trying to get to the outside.
However, their speed naturally couldn't compare to Qin Xuan's. Qin Xuan rapidly accelerated and rushed to the transfer platform, grabbing a rope. Qin Xuan was about to climb up.
Just then, he looked back and his face instantly changed dramatically.
Behind him, a red blood mist was spreading towards them at an extremely fast speed.
The people engulfed by the blood mist only let out a brief scream before disappearing without a trace.
“Damn, what is this thing?!”
Ignoring everything else, Qin Xuan quickly rushed up the mine shaft.
He could, of course, fly out, which would be faster.
However, if a Mortal flew out, it would be too conspicuous.
Quickly climbing up the rope to the mine entrance in one breath, he tried to show a panicked expression on his face, rushing out in terror.
“It’s bad, there’s a mine collapse below.”
At this time, the bell had already rung throughout the Heavenly Fiend Sect’s mine, and many Cultivators were flying over on Flying Swords.
“What happened?”
Seeing Qin Xuan climb out from below, a Cultivator immediately asked Qin Xuan.
Qin Xuan, however, feigned a state of incoherent panic.
“The red mist came, everyone died, I almost died too…”
“He can’t even speak clearly!”
Hearing Qin Xuan’s incoherence, the Cultivator immediately rushed towards the mine shaft, seemingly considering whether he should also fly down.
Qin Xuan took the opportunity to secretly blend into the crowd that had gathered from all directions, then looked at the mine shaft as if nothing had happened.
He had only arrived here today, and only the miner who brought him on his first day knew he had entered this mine shaft. As long as he blended into the crowd, no one else would be able to discover that he had survived.
As more and more Cultivators arrived, dozens of quick-moving mine slaves also emerged from the mine shaft.
“Sir, it’s bad, something dirty was dug up inside, the blood mist ate all our people!”
“What?!”
Hearing this, the leading Cultivator’s face immediately became extremely grim. He rushed to the edge of the mine shaft, took one look down, and immediately retreated with a ashen face.
“Quickly set up the Spirit Sealing Formation! We can’t let whatever is inside come out!”
At the Cultivator’s command, several Formation Masters immediately rushed forward and began to set up the Formation.
“Sir, the blood mist hasn’t come out yet, and there are still some mine slaves who haven’t climbed out!”
A Cultivator said with some hesitation.
“Nonsense! It will be too late when the blood mist comes out, our entire mine might be ruined. As for those mine slaves, if they die, they die. They are just Mortals, we can just trick some more Mortals from other places.”
Saying this, the leading Cultivator immediately ordered the others to act.
“We must suppress whatever is inside with a Formation before the blood mist appears, absolutely not allowing it to come out!”
The Formation was quickly set up, and soon, the entire mine shaft was completely suppressed.
Looking at the complex Spirit Sealing Formation, the Cultivator finally breathed a sigh of relief.
“Everyone be careful, absolutely do not let this thing come out from inside.”
“Check if there are any problems with the other mine shafts. Also, bring all the people who ran out of this mine shaft, I want to see if they have any problems.”
The guards and Cultivators rushed out and apprehended all dozens of these mine slaves.
Watching this scene, Qin Xuan, hidden in the crowd, also secretly clicked his tongue.
This person was truly ruthless. There were at least several thousand people in this mine shaft, and the blood mist had just rushed out, most of the mine slaves were still alive.
But this person had no pity for those living Mortals and directly ordered them killed.
Not only these people, but even those who had just escaped from the mine shaft were arrested.
Fortunately, he ran fast, otherwise, it would have been difficult to act.
Although Qin Xuan was not worried about not being able to defeat these people.
But if he really turned hostile with them, it would naturally be very disadvantageous for Qin Xuan’s subsequent actions.
Thinking this, Qin Xuan naturally hid deep within the crowd and did not act.
After the survivors from this mine shaft were taken away, Qin Xuan went to the warehouse to exchange for thirty raw ore vouchers, then guarded outside several other mine shafts.
These Cultivators inspected the other mine shafts, and after confirming there were no problems, they ordered the others to continue collecting raw ore.
Although these mine slaves were very hesitant, at this point, they had no choice but to continue entering the mine shaft.
Qin Xuan pondered for a moment and then followed them back into the mine shaft.
Although those dangerous things had just happened, the incident itself indicated a problem: there was indeed something present in the Lingshi Mine below.
“The major powers are searching in the mine shafts and the Burial Spirit Land, yet they are also very worried about the things in this mine shaft. By all accounts, this thing is not simple.”
Taking a deep breath, Qin Xuan did not hesitate and continued into the underground mine shaft.
This time, from the very beginning, he was investigating the mine shaft over there, where the Spiritual Qi was even more abundant.
After confirming that the Spiritual Qi was more abundant there, Qin Xuan continued forward.
After confirming that there was nothing he wanted in this mine shaft, Qin Xuan came out and then went to the next mine shaft.
The Heavenly Fiend Sect had many mine shafts here, and Qin Xuan searched around but couldn't find any mine shaft that might be abnormal.
“Did I make a mistake? Is it not in the Heavenly Fiend Sect’s mine but in another mine?”
Qin Xuan hesitated.
But then he shook his head.
“Below the Burial Spirit Land is a huge Lingshi Mine. Since it’s a Lingshi Mine, then the underground areas of these mines might be interconnected.”
“Since they are interconnected, then from the Heavenly Fiend Sect’s Lingshi Mine, one can certainly find the source.”
Thinking this, Qin Xuan set his sights on other mine shafts.
However, after searching around and inspecting all the last few mine shafts, Qin Xuan still found nothing.
The Spiritual Qi concentration in each mine shaft was indeed different.
But it was only the Spiritual Qi concentration that was different.
Other than that, he didn’t see any other abnormalities.
“Is it really not here?”
He stroked his chin, constantly pondering in his mind.
If it wasn't in the Heavenly Fiend Sect’s mine, then he would only be able to leave here first and consider sneaking into other mines.
“Sneaking in is inconvenient after all, as I’ve seen the defensive Formations here, and they are all very complex.”
Although Qin Xuan was also a Formation Master, this did not mean he could easily break the Formation; he would also need some time.
