Holding the space chat group, the cannon fodder female supporting role ascended

Chapter 946 Murder and Silence

A sharp-eyed cultivator immediately whispered:
"That looks like a small warship. Judging from the markings on the hull, it seems to be the exclusive immortal ship of the Wanqi family."

"Does this mean we have a chance to leave here?"

"I don't know, let's see what the situation is first."

The two finished their brief exchange, but Yunxi heard every word of their conversation. Her eyes lit up, and she felt that their chance to leave might have come.

Sure enough, all the cannons on the warship were aimed at Jinlai, where a thin, middle-aged man with a long gray beard stood at the bow.
"Jin Lai, this is the Wanqi family's territory. What right do you have to mine immortal stone veins here?"

Jinlai did not remove the protective shield in front of him. He looked at the man standing at the bow of the ship, gritted his teeth, and said:
"Senior Wanqi, this is a misunderstanding."

Wan Qiyou gently stroked his beautiful beard and said mockingly:

"Oh? A misunderstanding? What misunderstanding could allow you to openly mine immortal minerals on the Wanqi family's territory?"

Jin Lai rolled his eyes and said:

"I came here by chasing after cultivators who had smuggled themselves into the Immortal Realm. Then I found that these cultivators were hiding in abandoned tunnels. That's why I captured them and interrogated them. It seems that they have been mining immortal mines here for a long time, but I have never seen the person behind them."

I think they're hiding something. You arrived just as they found the second person through soul searching, and that's how the misunderstanding started."

The miners who were eavesdropping in the dark all opened their eyes wide, feeling that Jin Lai was lying through his teeth. Someone tried to argue, but the next moment he groaned and fell to the ground, his dantian now a bloody hole. When the celestial infant floated out, it was already unconscious, and even searching its soul was impossible.

Almost simultaneously, someone shouted:

"Oh no, he's going to wipe us out."

The sound abruptly stopped; clearly, he had also been affected. Panic gripped all the miners, who immediately cried out for help from Wanqijia in the air.

"Immortal Master Wanqi, save us!"

The remaining words were silenced by the exploding bodies, and hundreds of miners fell one after another. This made Jin Lai very proud, but he immediately said to Wan Qiyou:
"Brother Wanqi, the person behind this must have realized that we've been discovered and is trying to silence us. You must stop them immediately. I will not interfere, lest the misunderstanding deepen."

Wan Qiyou's eyes flashed with a fierce light as he looked at Jin Lai. He knew that the other party dared to say that because he was sure that his backup plan would not fail, and he had no chance to save these people.

However, a quarter of an hour later, eight people were still hiding unharmed behind the rocks. It was Yunxi and her group. They did not show themselves at this moment. It was a battle between gods, and they did not want to be caught in the crossfire.

Jin Lai's expression finally changed, and Wan Qiyou naturally noticed the eight people who weren't really trying to hide. He stroked his beautiful beard and said:
"It seems there are still survivors we can interrogate."

Jin Lai glanced at Zhu Zhen and Mu Yangchen out of the corner of his eye. The two of them flashed and appeared in front of Yun Xi and the other eight, ready to kill them. The next moment, Yun Xi's Frost Profound Ice Needles pierced through Zhu Zhen's eyes and dantian, killing the lewd man swiftly and ruthlessly.

Mu Yangchen clearly hadn't expected Yunxi and the others to be able to fight back. He immediately swung his cleaver, but Haoran, Haohui, Haoyan, Mingjia, Minghong, Shijun, and Tianyun joined forces to create a shield, barely managing to block the attack.

Mu Yangchen swung his sword and retreated, while the shield that the seven people had jointly erected shattered quickly, having completed its mission. The seven of them also retreated together, exiting the opponent's attack range.

Under the cover of her teammates, Yunxi had already flashed behind Mu Yangchen. The Seven Star Deadly Staff, imbued with the power of lightning, slammed down, shattering Mu Yangchen's protective immortal shield with a loud "bang." Then, a bolt of purple-gold lightning struck Mu Yangchen's head, slowing his reaction time by a fraction of a second. The instant her opponent showed an opening, Yunxi sent Xuan Lei Zi Yan into his body. The next instant, she flashed back to her teammates, ordering Zi Yan to burn the man to death.

Mu Yangchen probably never imagined that one day he would die from the strange fire entering his body. His howls echoed throughout the entire mining area, which was very eerie, but no one dared to come forward to save him.

The change happened very quickly; the two sides had only been fighting for four breaths, but the result was beyond the expectations of Wanqiyou and Jinlai.

Yunxi's figure swayed, and golden immortal armor appeared, instantly making her the center of attention.

Yunxi looked at the white-robed man standing at the bow of the boat and said:

"Senior Wanqi, the eight of us were tricked by Si Shijiu of the Ascension Platform into mining to pay off our debts. However, he sold us to this Immortal Jinlai. Immortal Jinlai gave Si Shijiu a storage ring full of immortal stones. Before we even started mining, the mine collapsed. Then Jinlai noticed that the number of immortal stones we mined had decreased over the past two days, so he started searching our souls to find out the reason. Just then, you arrived, Senior."

Those cultivators who arrived before us were silenced because he sealed their dantian and left them a backup plan.

I swear by the Heavenly Dao that everything I have said is the truth. If even one word is a lie, may I be struck by lightning, die instantly, and be forever barred from the path to immortality.

Yunxi spoke quickly and urgently, and the moment the vow was uttered, the Heavenly Seal landed on her brow.

The next moment, Jin Lai's attack arrived. Yun Xi had been prepared for this guy, which was why she put on her immortal armor in advance, so that she could at least save her life when she took the hit.

The remaining seven people naturally saw through Yunxi's plan. They said nothing, but tacitly placed their hands on Yunxi's shoulders and injected their immortal energy into her body, so that they could take the blow together.

However, the expected heavy blow did not land on Yunxi. How could Wanqiyou allow Jinlai to silence the only remaining witness? A huge "protect" character landed on the heads of the eight people, completely blocking Jinlai's attack.

Jin Lai was also bound by the word "trapped" and unable to launch a second attack. In the next instant, a Binding Immortal Lock flew out from the warship and bound Jin Lai tightly.

Meanwhile, Jin Lai's men were all sucked into a white scroll, becoming figures in the painting, their faces ashen, making them look remarkably lifelike.

The entire mine was deathly silent. Only then did the Wanqi family's warship slowly descend. Wanqi You slipped off the ship, followed by a familiar face—the same immortal official with white veils whom Yun Xi had seen in the Cultivation Technique Pavilion.

All eight people looked at the two from the Wanqi family with wary expressions, without saying a word. Yunxi had already said what she needed to say, and now it was up to them to see what the big shot from the Wanqi family would do next.

Wan Qiyou stroked his beautiful beard before asking:
"Why didn't Jinlai seal your dantian?"

Yunxi stepped forward and cupped her hands in greeting:

"Reporting to Senior, Jinlai sealed our dantian on the second day after arriving at the mine, but we managed to break through it."

Wan Qiyou clearly did not believe it:

"With your highest cultivation level of Golden Immortal? It's not that I look down on you, but the difference in strength is a chasm."

Yunxi replied neither humbly nor arrogantly:
"Reporting to Senior, we broke the seal using the power of our own merits."
