Red Algae Sea, Red Scorpion Island.
At the bottom of the sea, Han Deling, Han Daobin and Han Daojing gathered in a mine, where dozens of tribesmen were mining spirit stone mines.
"It's been so long, why aren't the fish taking the bait?"
Han Daobin frowned and said that they were setting up a trap to deal with the Chen family. If the Chen family believed Han Dehao's words, they would definitely find out here.
They brought along the tiger eagle, the clan's guardian spiritual bird, as well as some powerful talismans and magical instruments. If the Chen family dared to send people to attack this mine, they would definitely suffer heavy losses.
If the Chen family did not send anyone to attack this place, it means that the Chen family did not trust Han Dehao.
Boom!
There was a loud noise and the mine began to shake as if it was about to collapse.
"What's going on? What happened?"
Han Deling pretended to be furious and said with a frown.
"It may be a monster attacking the formation. Let's go out and take a look."
Before they could walk out, the formation was broken with a loud bang, and a large amount of rubble flew everywhere.
Han Deling reacted quickly. She gently shook the white ruler that had been in her hand for a long time, and a white cold air surged out, turning into a white ice wall about ten feet high, blocking in front of her.
Boom!
The white ice wall was shattered and turned into ice chips.
Han Deling and the other two cast defensive spiritual shields on themselves, summoned magical weapons and puppet beasts, and looked ready for battle.
Four men and two women walked in. In addition to Chen Yufeng, there were five disciples from Tinghai Pavilion, led by Wang Yunzhong.
Wang Yunzhong is a law enforcement disciple, and many cultivators know him.
"Friend Wang, why are you here?"
Han Daojing said with some confusion that if Wang Yunzhong and others had not been present, they would definitely have killed Chen Yufeng.
Could it be that Wang Yunzhong was bribed by the Chen family? Was he willing to work for the Chen family? Or did the Chen family invite the monks from Tinghai Pavilion
"Hey, Fellow Daoist Han, why are you here? I thought it was an ancient cultivator's cave!"
Chen Yufeng said in pretended surprise.
The Chen family was badly harmed by Han Dehao last time. Two foundation-building cultivators died and the clan leader Chen Hongming was poisoned and has not recovered yet.
Han Dehao reported to the Chen family that there was a spirit stone mine under the sea near the Red Scorpion Island, and the Han family sent heavy troops to guard it.
The Chen family did not dare to believe it, for fear of being harmed by Han Dehao again. However, the Chen family also did not want to see the Han family grow stronger. The Chen family specifically asked Wang Yunzhong for help, saying that they had discovered the whereabouts of several second-level top-grade monsters. If it was a trap, and the Han family killed the disciples of Tinghai Pavilion, Tinghai Pavilion would never forgive the Han family.
If it weren't a trap, the Han family would have lost the spirit stone mine. The Chen family suffered no losses, but the Han family suffered huge losses.
In theory, all the mineral veins in the territory controlled by Tinghai Pavilion belong to Tinghai Pavilion, but once they are discovered by affiliated forces, they will take them for themselves. Only when the news leaks out will they be handed over to Tinghai Pavilion.
Wang Yunzhong frowned. The Chen family invited him to visit them, saying that they had discovered several second-level top-grade monsters and asked them for help, giving them a large sum of spirit stones.
For the sake of the spirit stone, Wang Yunzhong agreed. When they dived to the bottom of the sea, they did not find any second-grade superior monsters, but they did find a restriction. Chen Yufeng said it was an ancient cultivator's cave, so they took the lead in attacking this restriction.
At first he also thought it was an ancient cultivator's cave, but now, Wang Yunzhong understood everything.
The Han family discovered a spirit stone mine and mined it privately, sending heavy troops to guard it, never expecting the news to leak out.
Over the years, the strength of the Chen family has been weakening year by year, while the strength of the Han family has been growing. As one family grows stronger, the other grows weaker. The Chen family dares not to cause trouble for the Han family, but is unwilling to sit idly by and watch the Han family grow stronger. So they use Wang Yunzhong to make the Han family suffer a loss.
Since Wang Yunzhong discovered this spirit stone mine, he naturally couldn't just leave it alone. He would definitely report it to the sect. He couldn't refuse. Discovering a spirit stone mine was definitely a great achievement.
"Spiritual Stone Mine, there is a Spiritual Stone Mine here? Fellow Daoist Han, what you did is a bit unkind!"
Wang Yunzhong frowned and said, the stone wall was full of potholes and there were obvious signs of excavation, and some raw spirit stones as big as fingernails could be seen.
Spirit stone mines are relatively easy to identify. Where there are spirit stone mines, there is abundant spiritual energy. If it is a metal vein, the spiritual energy will not be too abundant.
Standing in the mine, Wang Yunzhong discovered that the spiritual energy here was much more abundant than that in the outside world.
Han Daojing, Han Daobin and Han Deling's faces turned extremely ugly. This was of course pretended. They had already thought of various possibilities, including the Chen family reporting to Tinghai Pavilion.
If the Chen family reports to Tinghai Pavilion, the Han family naturally cannot inflict heavy damage on the Chen family, but they can take this opportunity to allow Han Dehao to regain the trust of the Chen family.
Even if I can’t cheat the Chen family this time, I’ll definitely be able to do it next time.
"We accidentally discovered a spiritual stone mine. The reserves are not large. We thought we would report it after a while."
Han Daojing said with a smile, his expression a little unnatural.
"Fellow Daoist Chen, go back first and report to Fellow Daoist Chen, asking him to send more people over."
Wang Yunzhong instructed Chen Yufeng that this was to make the Han family be cautious, because after all, it was a spirit stone mine, and there was no guarantee that the Han family would kill people to silence them.
Chen Yufeng agreed and turned to leave.
Han Daojing frowned, and Han Deling and Han Daobin also looked a little ugly. These were naturally a show. The Chen family knew about the existence of the spirit stone mine, so they would naturally not kill Wang Yunzhong. What's more, the reserves of the spirit stone mine were not large, and it was estimated that it could be mined for another ten or twenty years, and it was worth at least 150,000 spirit stones.
Han Deling was somewhat reluctant. In her opinion, it would not be too late to expose the secret after another ten years of mining.
Han Zhangxiang believes that you can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a lamb. If the mining time is not long, how can the Chen family trust Han Dehao again
"We want to mine for a while to see the reserves, and then report to Haige."
Han Daojing said this with a smile and a flattering look on his face.
"Junior Brother Sun, Junior Sister Li, go check out the reserves."
Wang Yunzhong gave the order, and the two Tinghai Pavilion monks walked towards the mine. Han Deling and the other two did not stop them and allowed them to walk into the mine.
Half a day later, Chen Hongming arrived with a team of cultivators. He was surprised and delighted to learn that the Han family had indeed discovered a spirit stone mine.
Chen Hongming was surprised that the Han family had obtained a spirit stone mine, but he was happy that the Han family could no longer keep the spirit stone mine.
"We have explored it. This small spiritual stone mine can be mined for more than ten years! It is worth more than 100,000 spiritual stones."
Wang Yunzhong sent a message to Chen Hongming with a smile on his face.
Reporting this matter will definitely be a great achievement.
Chen Hongming smiled happily when he saw Han Daojing and the other two, who had extremely ugly expressions on their faces. If it weren't for the discovery of this spirit stone mine, the Han family's strength would have continued to grow.
"Fellow Daoist Wang, we plan to present the spiritual stone mine to Tinghai Pavilion."
Han Daojing forced a smile. He was just pretending, but he was also a little reluctant.
"Haha, okay, I will report it truthfully. Fellow Daoist Han and Fellow Daoist Chen are both meritorious officials."
Wang Yunzhong agreed with a smile. Reporting this matter would definitely be a great achievement.
More than a month later, Tinghai Pavilion sent people to take over the spirit stone mine. In return, the Han family received two foundation-building pills.
One Foundation Establishment Pill is worth 40,000 spirit stones, and two are worth 80,000. However, the cost for Tinghai Pavilion to refine two Foundation Establishment Pills is less than 30,000.
The Chen family also received some rewards. Although not as much as the Han family, Chen Hongming was also extremely happy.
After this incident, the Han family began to search for traitors, but they did not find Han Dehao. They found out two clansmen who were sneaky and declared them to be traitors. They dealt with them, but in fact they put them under house arrest and did not allow them to show up.
