C1273 To the Abyss
When Qin Yun heard Ao Yan's words, he nodded inwardly. What Ao Yan said made sense.
"Swish!" With a sound, a light flashed in his hand as he took out the divine stone that contained the demonic energy of the deep abyss. With a flash of light, he flew to the front of the Lord of Tiandu City.
"This is the divine stone that was collected from the mine." Qin Yun said to Sky Wu City's City Lord.
City Lord Tian Wu stretched out his hand and grabbed the divine stone. After examining it for a moment, his expression changed as well, his brows locked together, no one knew what he was thinking about.
"What, is there a problem?" Qin Yun asked City Lord Tian Wu.
"Venerable One, I believe you have also sensed the aura of the abyss within the God's Stone. I have something that I don't know whether I should say it or not." City Lord Tian Wu pondered for a moment before speaking.
"If you have something to say, just say it." Qin Yun said.
After saying that, Qin Yun waved to the other guards in the hall, gesturing for them to leave.
Those guards instantly understood and respectfully bowed before leaving.
"According to the ancient annals of Tiandong City, the deepest part of the Skypiercing Mountain Range is connected to the Abyss, but no one has ever been able to find this passage, and it's been difficult for us to verify it. The generations of Tiandong City have always regarded it as just a rumor, and looking at this divine stone today, it's very likely that this matter is not false, and the connection is most likely within this mine." City Lord Tian Wu said.
"The Skypiercing Mountain Range is connected to the Abyss?" Qin Yun frowned deeply.
If this mine truly was connected to the Abyss, then it wouldn't be a good thing. However, looking at the aura coming from this divine stone, it was very likely that this was a good thing.
Seeing that Qin Yun was lost in thought, the Lord of Tiandu City continued, "Sir, regardless of whether this matter is true or false, it must not be made public. Otherwise, Jinyang City will have a huge influence on the entire Skypiercing Mountain Range."
Qin Yun nodded his head. He was thinking the same thing. Before the mines delved any further, he should first seal off the news. Otherwise, the consequences would be dire.
"I am prepared to go personally to see if the City Lord can accompany me." Qin Yun said to Sky Wu City's City Lord.
Although the Tianwu Kingdom's Castellan had his own stance, in the end, he was not a bad person. Furthermore, he definitely knew much more than he did, and bringing him along was definitely beneficial and harmless.
And when City Lord Tian Wu heard Qin Yun's words, his eyes lit up. This was a great opportunity to befriend Qin Yun.
"Thank you for your kindness, Venerable One. I will do my best to help you." City Lord Tian Wu said.
"Someone, come." Just as Qin Yun finished speaking, a flash of inspiration struck him and an armored guard appeared at the entrance of the hall.
"Inform the vice mayor that mining at the mines is temporarily suspended. Everyone should return to Jinyang City for the time being." Qin Yun said to the guard.
"Yes sir!" The guard replied and turned around to leave.
After a while, the guard returned and said respectfully, "Lord City Lord, Deputy City Lord has already evacuated everyone."
"Go down." Qin Yun stood up and said to City Lord Tian Wu, "This matter should not be delayed. Let's leave now. As for Young Master, please allow him to remain in the manor for the time being."
This was Jinyang City, he wasn't worried about how big of a storm this arrogant Young City Lord would cause.
"Then I'll have to trouble Venerable One." The Sky Weapon City Lord nodded.
Following that, Qin Yun instructed the imperial guards and maids to properly entertain the young city lord. He also exhorted his son to behave himself and left with him. They headed towards the northern foot of the mountain where the mines were located …
"..."
At this time, the huge crevice at the foot of the Northern Mountain was already empty. The people responsible for mining had already followed the instructions and left, but there was still very pure spirit energy left. It was the energy emitted by the mine.
"Swish!" With a sound, two figures appeared in the air above the northern foot of the mountain. They were Qin Yun and Tian Wu City's City Lord.
"Let's go down and take a look." As Qin Yun spoke to City Lord Tian Wu, his figure flashed into the crevice. City Lord Tian Wu followed closely behind.
This mine was originally excavated on the basis of the giant Spirit Swallowing Armor. Although the cave had already collapsed, one could still vaguely see its original appearance. The wide cave, the messy walls, and the sharp edges of the Spirit Swallowing Armor as well as the traces of other cultivators.2
However, Qin Yun and City Governor Tian were not in the mood to see this. They only had one goal — the end of the mine.
After arriving at the location of the mine, the mine continued moving downwards. Qin Yun and Lord Tian Wu began exploring it. With their speed, they soon reached the end of the mine.
"The location where the divine stone was mined should be here." Qin Yun waved his hand and a Spirit Stone that was embedded in the surrounding stone wall flew into his hand.
Perhaps it was because it was a Spirit Stone, but the abyss demonic energy it contained was much lesser than the divine stone. However, it was still unable to escape Qin Yun's perception.
"We should keep going forward. According to the ancient books, there should be a huge jade door here." The Sky Weapon City Lord glanced at his surroundings before pondering for a moment.
"Cyan Jade Gate?"
After Qin Yun heard what City Lord Tian Wu said, he closed his eyes slightly and released his perception. However, he did not sense the existence of the azure-colored jade gate.
Although he did not sense the azure-colored jade door, Qin Yun had sensed something special.
"There's actually a thief." Qin Yun looked at the side of the stone wall as a faint smile suffused across his lips.
As soon as he finished speaking, a golden light burst out from the golden dragon ruyi bracelet, illuminating the entire area. The golden dragon ruyi bracelet turned into a Dragoncry Sword and appeared in his hand.
Along with the appearance of the Dragoncry Sword, a powerful burst of Dragon God's power burst out from the sword's body. This Dragon God power made City Lord Tian Wu tremble in fear.
He looked at Qin Yun and could not help but feel mixed emotions. Back then, when he first met Qin Yun in Jinyang City, he was only a cultivator that was comparable to a demigod. Now, hundreds of years had passed.
Qin Yun's gaze turned cold as the golden beams of light on the Dragoncry Sword condensed into a gigantic golden dragon.
"Roar!" The golden dragon let out a resounding dragon roar, then suddenly rushed towards the stone wall in front of it.
"Bam!" With a loud crash, the golden dragon's body crashed into the wall of the mining lode. Countless rocks flew in all directions, and in the blink of an eye, the huge golden dragon sank into the wall.
The golden dragon continued onward for about a kilometer before turning into a beam of light and dissipating into the air, leaving behind a huge path on the stone wall of the mine …
