Chapter 309 Five Hearts Towards Heaven
"Where did Liu and the other two go?"

Bai Yuan originally wanted to say Liu Zhengwen and Fang Yong, but when he thought that the two were very likely to have changed their names, he changed it to those two.

The identities of Liu Zhengwen and the other person are too sensitive, so the less information revealed, the safer it is.

Ma Hong naturally knew that Bai Yuan was referring to the two people who claimed to be Bai Yuan's followers.

"They rushed to the Jingyang Mine an hour ago."

Bai Yuan nodded: "Where is the head of the Chen family?"

Since the incident happened in the Chen family's mining area, we naturally have to find the head of the Chen family to inquire and find out the situation.

As the general of Lingzhou, he knew something about some important places in Lingzhou.

For example, the Jingyang Mine.

Although the mine was controlled by the imperial court, it was impossible to mine the ore efficiently relying solely on the Jingyang government.

If the army’s needs cannot be met, Jingyang Prefecture will be in trouble.

In order to improve mining efficiency, the Jingyang Prefecture government allowed some forces within the Prefecture to join in the mining.

However, the mined ore can only be sold to Jingyang Prefecture.

Although theft and reselling are inevitable in the actual operation process, the efficiency of mining has been greatly improved.

For thousands of years, there has not been any major mistakes.

This is similar to the court and the clans ruling the world together.

Because of this, when there was a disaster in the mine, the government was obliged to send troops to protect it.

Ma Hong: "The head of the Chen family is already in the mine."

Bai Yuan: "In that case, let's go to the mine."

"Yes!"

Prefect Ma Hong felt that Bai Yuan was decisive in his work.

He is indeed a ruthless person known as the butcher in Kyoto.
Jingyang Mine is not far from Jingyang City, about fifty miles away.

The demon-slaying guards brought by Bai Yuan all rode on blood demon horses and came at a very fast speed. Before dusk, they arrived at Jingyang Mine.

Looking from afar, there is a huge peak that is full of holes and pits.

Human beings' destructive power on nature is truly terrible.

Bai Yuan came to a camp under the mine.

Although Jingyang Mine is called a mine, it should be called a mining area.

Each force was responsible for a mountain under the assignment of the government office, and the Chen family was responsible for the mountain in front of them.

The Chen family member who was in charge of guarding the hilltop was very considerate. After seeing Ma Hong, he immediately let him go and did not dare to stop him at all.

Bai Yuan and his group walked into the Chen family’s camp smoothly.

When Ma Hong led Bai Yuan and Zhou Lin to open the tent of the head of the Chen family, they happened to see Liu Zhengwen and Fang Yong talking to a wealthy middle-aged man.

Liu Zhengwen noticed the movement behind him, and just as he turned his head, he met Bai Yuan's eyes.

Both of them were stunned.

The wealthy middle-aged man was extremely enthusiastic; he recognized Ma Hong.

"Prefect Ma, thank you for your hard work."

He trotted up to Ma Hong and asked him with his eyes about the identities of the other two people.

Ma Hong coughed lightly and said, "This is Lord Bai, the general of Lingzhou, and this is Lord Zhou, the general of Lingzhou's demon-slaying guards."

Upon hearing the title of Lingzhou General, the wealthy middle-aged man smiled as brightly as a chrysanthemum.

"I am Chen Liu, the head of the Chen family, and I am here to greet Lord Bai."

The head of the Chen family is considered an important figure in Jingyang Prefecture. He has the power to mine and is familiar with the prefect Ma Hong. Of course, he is not ordinary.

Bai Yuan first nodded to Liu Zhengwen and Fang Yong, and then looked at Ma Hong.

"How is the mine doing now?"

Although Ma Hong had already explained the situation to Liu Zhengwen and the others before, now that the chief officer of Lingzhou was asking him personally, he could only repeat it again obediently.

"The mine is now occupied by a seventh-level old ape and a seventh-level leopard monster with dozens of monsters of levels sixteen and five." Bai Yuan nodded.

The strength of monsters is inherently stronger than that of martial artists of the same level.

Although Ma Hong in front of him is also a master of perception, he is old and his energy and blood are no longer as strong as before. It is normal that he cannot defeat two seventh-level monsters.

Bai Yuan: "I understand."

After discussing with Ma Hong and Chen Liu, he decided to go to the mine to investigate late at night.

The largest tent in the Chen family camp was originally supposed to be occupied by Chen Liu, the head of the Chen family.

But now that Bai Yuan has appeared, it naturally becomes Bai Yuan's residence temporarily.

After everyone dispersed.

Liu Zhengwen and Fang Yong stayed on their own accord.

Bai Yuan looked at the two of them and said, "Master Liu, General Fang, could it be that this mining disaster is related to the demons?"

Liu Zhengwen smiled slightly: "The birth of a demon seed will definitely be accompanied by disasters. We just heard that there was a mining accident in the mine, so we wanted to investigate. We didn't expect to run into Lord Bai."

Bai Yuan was surprised: "Demons have such abilities?"

Liu Zhengwen nodded: "According to the Supervisor, demons are born with a destiny of disaster. Wherever they appear, people will suffer."

When Bai Yuan thought of the Changshou Palace, it seemed somewhat believable.

"Then what will Lord Liu do next? How should I cooperate with you two?"

Liu Zhengwen and Fang Yong both came from Kyoto, so he naturally had to be courteous.

"Master Bai, just act normally, and the two of us will assist you."

"good!"

Seeing that Liu Zhengwen and Fang Yong had no intention of interfering, Bai Yuan was very satisfied.

Bai Yuan exchanged some information about the demon species with the two of them.

Before I knew it, it was the agreed time of midnight.

Although most monsters are more energetic and sleep much less than humans, they will relax their vigilance late at night due to their nature, which is a good time to investigate.

Bai Yuan did not bring too many people.

Only Liu Zhengwen and Ma Hong followed him into the mine, while the others stayed in the camp.

This time they were only going to investigate the mine, and a large target would make it easier to be discovered.

And there were only two seventh-level monsters, so Bai Yuan investigated first out of caution.

As long as he finds out the details, he can kill all the monsters by himself.

"Master Bai, follow me."

Ma Hong said respectfully.

He once fought a battle with a monster that occupied a mine, so he was very familiar with the situation in the mine.

Bai Yuan raised his footsteps and followed Ma Hong.

He was the prefect, and with Ma Hong as the prefect, and if Liu Zhengwen of the Imperial Observatory was included, this configuration could be said to be quite terrifying.

The foot of the mountain is only three miles away from the occupied mine.

With the three of them walking fast, they arrived at the dense forest on the mountainside in just a quarter of an hour.

Bai Yuan used his senses to clearly see dozens of monsters of various shapes and sizes gathered on a pile of rocks.

With his skills as a monster hunter, he quickly determined the strength of these monsters, which was basically the same as Ma Hong's situation.

Upon closer inspection, one could see an old ape sitting cross-legged on a huge rock like a Taoist priest, with his hands on his knees, palms facing upwards, feet crossed, soles facing upwards, and head held high.

This is clearly the Five Hearts Towards Heaven cultivation method.

Bai Yuan was surprised.

Could it be that this old ape has become a Taoist? Otherwise, how could he know the Taoist cultivation methods!
