The casual cultivators were first shocked by the scene of destruction and destruction, and then were shocked by the deaths of Lu Lianqing and Master Lu. They were a little at a loss and looked at each other, hoping that someone would come forward so that they could be killed.
Before the leader appeared, the Wushuang disciple who killed Mr. Lu grabbed the storage bag and suddenly threw something over. The object was crystal clear and contained a dense aura. At first glance, it looked the same as Mr. Lu.
The electric light magic weapon that people used before was very similar, and they were so frightened that they all fled away.
Su Hao and Situ Tu leaned forward, their escaping light suddenly rose, and they chased after them. At the same time, they released their spiritual thoughts and activated their previously hidden sword energy.
The casual cultivators ran for a while, but did not hear the expected arc sound. They knew they had been fooled and were about to take action when they heard Su Hao shout: "Those who turn back will die."
A foundation-building monk had a grumpy temper and became furious. He stopped his flight in the air, turned around and cursed: "The traitor is arrogant, I will go back..."
Before he finished speaking, he was shocked to find that Su Hao was right behind him. The Eternal Touch sword flashed and immediately cut off his head.
There was a Qi Lian who came from a small sect. While leaping forward, he spun his body around and glanced back secretly. With a snap, a sword light suddenly shot out from the underground grass, causing his head to be in a different place and his body to be in a different place.
It continued to spin, and its head hit the tree and exploded into pieces, with red and white pieces flying all over the ground.
"Don't run away, everyone is coming together."
Most of the people who are successful in cultivating the Taoism are alert. Someone was running and shouting, calling on everyone to turn around and kill the enemy at the same time. When he passed a tall tree trunk, a sword flashed behind the tree, and the shouting stopped.
Su Hao and Situ Tu's spiritual consciousness was stretched to the limit. With the blessing of Shen Si Shen Kuang, as long as they found anyone who dared to turn around or speak out, no matter how far away they were, they would kill them as soon as possible regardless of the loss. They fell like this for more than ten people in a row.
People, others will no longer dare to test the law with their own bodies.
Everyone knows that as long as they work together, these two people will definitely not be able to compete with hundreds of people. However, everyone who takes the lead will die, and no one wants to be the next one. I saw scattered cultivators all over the place running away like crazy, and the two behind them were wearing white clothes.
The monks rushed forward and chased them one after another. Those who fell behind were killed one after another, leaving a large number of corpses along the way.
Ten miles away, Zhengzhi heard the movement here, took off to check the situation, and then exclaimed: "How could this be?"
The others jumped to the top of the tree and saw from a distance Su Hao and Situ Tu, accompanied by hundreds of people, killing and slashing wildly. They were all turned to stone on the spot. They couldn't believe what they saw.
Qiao Tong and his fellow juniors looked at each other and saw the surprise and excitement in each other's eyes. Without saying a word, they rushed forward.
Zhengzhi gritted his teeth, knowing that now was a great opportunity to recover the mineral vein, and shouted: "Follow me," and led the disciples of Lingyun Sect to rush to the battlefield.
Everyone did not dare to face the enemy's large force head-on, so they deliberately made a circle, cut in from the side, and intercepted and killed those on the edge. As they advanced layer by layer, the casualties in the casual cultivator camp continued to increase.
Su Hao deliberately laughed loudly in the air and said: "Senior brothers are all here, don't let any of them go."
The casual cultivators were even more frightened after hearing this, and completely gave up the idea of counterattack. They all just thought about escaping for their lives. Dozens of foundation-building evading lights scattered in all directions, escaping hastily in different directions.
After a hearty battle, Su Hao deeply understood what it means to be a mob. If the hearts are not united, the more people there are, the faster it will collapse.
In this battle, in addition to Master Lu using magic weapons to kill more than a hundred people with ulterior motives, Su Hao and Situ Tu killed dozens of people. Zhengzhi and Qiao Tong killed hundreds of people, captured nearly a hundred Qi Refining cultivators, and built foundations.
Most of the loose cultivators managed to escape, but they probably no longer dared to cause trouble again.
At this point, Su Hao and others, with the "help" of Mr. Lu, recovered the mineral vein in one fell swoop.
When everyone came to the entrance of the mine, they were stopped by several Qi Refining cultivators.
It was dark and dark outside, but the people here were kept in the dark. No one came back to report the news. They did not expect that with the current power of the Loyalty and Righteous Immortal Alliance, they could suffer a disastrous defeat. Therefore, although they saw many people coming, they were not very polite.
The Lingyun sect's disciples easily captured several people, and after having a heart-to-heart talk with violence, they pointed at one of them, a casual cultivator who was in the middle stage of Qi Refining, and said, "Tell me about the situation."
The casual cultivator answered tremblingly, there were hundreds of miners working in the veins day and night, and they could produce fifteen high-grade spiritual stones and one medium-grade spiritual stone every day.
Zhengzhi frowned and asked: "Why is the efficiency so low?"
Na Sanxiu said: "The mining slaves are all mortals. They are lazy, greedy, and careless about their work, so the output is low. But don't worry, I will increase the punishment for the small ones and make sure to increase the output."
Zhengzhi nodded.
Su Hao asked: "Where do the mine slaves come from?"
The casual cultivator looked at Zhengzhi carefully, and Zhengzhi said displeasedly: "Answer the question."
The casual cultivator said: "They are all villagers captured nearby."
Just at this moment, two people were carrying a dying young man out of the mine. Su Hao stopped the man. After checking, he found that the man was just out of strength. If he had enough food and rest time, he would be able to recover quickly.
Asked: "How to deal with this person?"
Seeing Su Hao's gloomy face, the casual cultivator hurriedly asked: "How do you want to deal with it, Master?"
Su Hao said: "I ask you how you handled this situation before, and answer truthfully."
The casual cultivator knew in his heart that he had met an upright monk, but Nono did not dare to speak.
Su Hao understood in his heart, and released a healing spell to the young man, allowing him to quickly recover his strength, and then said: "Stop mining immediately and bring everyone out."
Zhengzhi looked at him, a little dissatisfied, but said nothing.
Soon, the empty space at the entrance to the mine was filled with a dark crowd of people, including men, women, and even underage children. Everyone looked at the monks around them with horror on their faces.
Su Hao asked: "Would you like to go home?"
The villagers looked at each other, and no one dared to answer.
The Sanxiu said anxiously: "The real person is asking you questions, but you are all deaf?"
People were trembling with fright. Some children and women were trembling. They wanted to cry but didn't dare. It was heartbreaking. A strong middle-aged man gritted his teeth and said, "I would like to come back."
The monk glared at the middle-aged man and said angrily: "You have all gone home, who will come to mine?"
Su Hao said calmly: "You come and pick it."
"Ah? I'll pick it up?"
"That's right, go mining or die, it's your choice."
"..."
After hearing Su Hao's words, the villagers' eyes lit up, and they finally confirmed that the savior had come, and they all shouted that they were willing to go home.
Su Hao then began to arrange for the removal of the villagers. They were used to living in the mountains and were not afraid of wild beasts. It was no problem to return home on their own. However, Su Hao still asked Zhengzhi to send someone to escort them and asked them to send them all back safely.
Su Hao was not a holy mother, and many of the people he killed just now were not vicious people. There were even some who had done justice in the past. But in that situation of mutual hostility, if he was not ruthless, he would be the unlucky one, so he killed people.
There is no psychological burden.
But these villagers are different. Although it is not ruled out that there are people with evil intentions among them, and the things they have done may be more hateful than the monk who was killed just now, they are purely innocent victims in the mining matter. Based on his values
, I still think that putting people back is the only way to feel at ease.
At this moment, the monks of the Lingyun Sect admired Su Hao and Situ Tu very much, and were even a little afraid of them. Although they did not obey their advice, they still performed some affairs very carefully, for fear of offending him.
Su Hao discussed with Zheng Zhi and sent the captured casual cultivators to mine, and formulated punishment and appeasement strategies on how to avoid riots. Afterwards, he emphasized that mortals could be recruited for mining, but they must not be forced, and wages must be paid.
Zhengzhi was extremely disgusted with Su Hao's gesticulating behavior, but after seeing how powerful the Wushuang disciples were, he did not object and agreed while holding his nose.
After this incident, Su Hao and Situ Tu bid farewell to Qiao Tong and others and returned to Xiaogushan to practice cultivation.
Three months later, all the spiritual energy in Su Hao's Dantian and meridians were converted into liquid, and he began to solidify the spiritual energy in his Dantian, officially advancing to the later stage of foundation building.
After a period of chaos, the new spheres of influence of all parties were basically delineated, and the environment around Xiaogushan gradually became stable. Since there was still no news about senior brother Wu Qiu, Su Hao decided to go out to search for him after discussing with his senior sisters and brothers.
