Chapter 2237: Chapter 1936: Kill Him, That’s All_2

Yang Ze’s face was grim as he looked at Han Fei and asked, "What happened?"

"A group of people just came, brought by the boss of this mine..."

Han Fei explained the whole situation to Yang Ze, whose expression grew even darker, as he coldly said, "I’m a dignified Deacon of the Sky Demon Sect. Do you think I would care for these lousy jade stones? Hmph, I was going to take what I wanted and leave, but now they’ve chosen their own demise, what’s it to do with me? However, Zhou Dong was instantly killed, and the opponent might be from the Spiritual Lands, which is troublesome."

"Father, what should we do now?" Han Fei asked.

A strong killing intent flashed in Yang Ze’s eyes as he said in a deep voice, "Let’s go, chase them down, kill everyone who came earlier. The news from here must not spread out, otherwise, what I want won’t be safe."

With that, Yang Ze’s figure moved, heading outside the mine.

"Father, wait for me. Don’t rush to kill that kid named Song Yun. I have to avenge myself."

Han Fei shouted while chasing after him.

After they left, a figure emerged from the hole blasted earlier by the Void-breaking Palm.

The person emerging from the shadows of the cave was none other than Song Yun.

Yang Ze was at Foundation Establishment Peak, and Song Yun knew he could not defeat him yet, so he employed a small trick to lure his opponent out, creating a hiding hole in the wall, and pretended to flee in fear, but was actually hiding.

He was fast enough, and Han Fei, though at sss-level peak, couldn’t capture his trace, especially with the effects of flashbangs and smoke grenades, which made Han Fei think he had escaped.

Additionally, he had the Turtle Breath Technique, which allowed him to conceal his presence; otherwise, Yang Ze would have discovered him.

His strategy was meticulous, and any missing detail would lead to failure.

"Those two aren’t fools; I need to explore before they return."

Song Yun glanced towards the direction Yang Ze and Han Fei had left, withdrew his gaze, and moved into the torch-filled passage.

The passage quickly shifted in gradient, and after less than fifty meters, it became nearly vertical.

Such a passage could only be traversed by cultivators.

If a non-cultivator came in, they would immediately fall to their death.

Song Yun kept descending, and when he finally landed, he felt he had dropped at least three hundred meters.

In front of him was no longer a narrow passage but a massive stone cave, brightly lit with torches burning vigorously all around.

The sound of clangs echoed; someone was digging with metal tools, their noises amplified in the empty cave.

"Hurry up with your work. Deacon Yang said that once the treasure is unearthed, he will teach us Supreme Technique and will never make us do such hard labor again. By then, each of us will reach sss-level, and the Fire Cloud Sect will become Huaxia’s number one sect."

A voice sounded from ahead, and Song Yun, using the cover of rocks, peeked out to see a man in a tight outfit standing on higher ground, with hands behind his back, inspecting the workers.

Apart from this man, Song Yun, being not on high ground, couldn’t see others due to the rocks blocking his view.

Then someone came over, pushing a cart filled with excavated rubble.

Song Yun knocked this person unconscious with a palm strike, put on his clothes, and pushed the cart towards the center of the stone cave.

He finally saw the complete view of the cave; in the center was a deep pit, with torches burning on its walls, and people were digging below, continually sending up rubble.

The pit’s edge was about twenty meters wide and twenty meters long, forming a square.

And to Song Yun’s surprise, at the bottom of the pit, he felt an intense gathering of Spiritual Energy at a single point, far richer than the scattered Spiritual Energy in nephrite jade.

There was no doubt the treasure Yang Ze sought was down this pit, something rich with Spiritual Energy.

Song Yun could sense the spot of Spiritual Energy was quite shallow, and soon the treasure would be unearthed.

"This belongs to me."

Song Yun’s lips curved into a smile as he moved towards the pit.

"Kid, how dare you trick me!?"

Suddenly, a furious roar came from behind.

Song Yun turned around to see Yang Ze and Han Fei emerging, with Yang Ze’s wrinkled old face full of anger.

But he hadn’t recognized Song Yun, instead, his eyes scanned around the cave.

"These two are smarter than expected; they’ve returned so soon."

Song Yun turned away, pretending there was nothing amiss, and continued towards the pit.

Though he couldn’t defeat Yang Ze now, as long as he obtained the treasure below and absorbed a bit of Spiritual Energy, he could instantly advance to Early-stage Foundation Establishment, and then comprehend a powerful secret technique from Yin Xi’s Manual, giving him the strength to confront Yang Ze.

"Father, someone was stripped of their clothes. That kid’s disguising as a member of Fire Cloud Sect!"

Han Fei’s voice rang out, having noticed the man whose clothes had been taken by Song Yun.

The man, still alive, was shaken awake by Han Fei, but before he could speak, an enraged Yang Ze slapped him dead.

"Everyone, come over here." Yang Ze shouted, squinted his eyes and added, "I want to see how you’ll hide."

All the people in the cave dropped their work and headed toward Yang Ze.

Seeing this, Song Yun realized there was no escaping.

If he approached, Han Fei would immediately identify him.

"Go down, grab the item, and advance to Foundation Establishment immediately!"

Song Yun made up his mind, circulating True Qi, using Phantom Step, and rushed towards the pit.

At that moment, the wave of his True Qi instantly caught Yang Ze’s attention.

"Kid, daring to covet my item, you’re courting death!"

Yang Ze shouted angrily, rapidly chasing after him, with his leaking True Qi carrying a sinister and evil aura, as if the air was tinged with darkness.

As Yang Ze gave chase, Han Fei shouted, "Father, spare his life, I want to take revenge!"

No one saw exactly what happened, and within the blink of an eye, the figures of Song Yun and Yang Ze both entered the pit.

From behind came a raging force that grew closer.

A Foundation Establishment Peak expert, the first time Song Yun encountered one.

He underestimated Yang Ze’s speed, even with using Phantom Step, he couldn’t shake him off.

In an instant, Yang Ze appeared behind him.

"Kid, with mere sss-level peak cultivation and a movement technique, you dare seek death? I admire your courage."

Yang Ze mocked Song Yun and struck out with both fists, aiming at Song Yun’s back.

True Qi gathered on Yang Ze’s fists; he didn’t use any technique, believing that with his realm far exceeding Song Yun’s, any casual attack would be impossible for Song Yun to withstand.

Bang.

The violent True Qi impacted Song Yun’s body; he only felt a cold aura trying to invade his body but was repelled outside.

The eerie aura was likely caused by the unique cultivation technique of the Sky Demon Sect.

The next moment, Song Yun transformed into a stream of light, crashing into the pit.

The Foundation Establishment Peak power was beyond his expectation.

He hadn’t anticipated an opponent’s punch could send him flying.

Boom.

The pit bottom shattered into pieces, as if it sank slightly.

The collision caused the entire cave to shake.

A powerful shockwave surged out from the pit, shattering all torches inserted into the pit walls, and extinguishing the flames.

Han Fei ran to the pit’s edge, peered into the smoky pit, and said to Yang Ze, "Father, why did you kill that kid? I haven’t avenged myself yet."

"Killing him is vengeance. In future confrontations, never hold back to torment your opponent, lest you suffer the consequences."

Yang Ze advised, then turned to the appointed Sect Hierarch of Fire Cloud Sect, saying, "Hong Tao, once the dust settles, instruct people to continue excavating."
