He burrowed out from the road he came from and returned to the original mine tunnel.
Jiang Yuebai discovered that most of the surrounding mine tunnels were abandoned, with broken bamboo baskets and stones piled up, as well as some corpses, but no living people.
She had explored down from the other side of the valley over the years, but had never been here.
In Ye Lianyi's mine tunnel, the traces of leaves on the mountain wall had been chiseled away, and the spirit stone mine had been dug out cleanly.
"Who's there?"
There was a noise behind her. Jiang Yuebai turned around and saw a man holding a torch and peeking around. She narrowed her eyes and smiled.
"Peng Sanyang, do you still recognize me?"
Peng Sanyang, who looked much older and was covered in dirt, could not see Jiang Yuebai's face clearly, so he held up the torch and shone it on Jiang Yuebai's face.
When he saw it clearly, he was stunned for a moment, then turned around and ran away in shock.
He had only taken two steps when Jiang Yuebai appeared in front of him like a ghost, holding his sword across Peng Sanyang's neck, unleashing all the might of his seventh level of Qi training.
Five years ago, Peng Sanyang and Jiang Yuebai were both at the fourth level of Qi training.
Five years later, Peng Sanyang had reached the fifth level of Qi training, and Jiang Yuebai had reached the seventh level of Qi training.
The murderous aura honed in the sea of blood and swords made Peng Sanyang tremble all over and fall to his knees.
"Young senior, please spare my life. I am just an errand boy who watches over the mines. I don't know anything and I haven't offended you. Please don't kill me. Please don't kill me."
Jiang Yuebai has met several people like Peng Sanyang. They are all incompetent and have no hope of leaving the mine. They can only run errands for various mining teams in exchange for rewards.
"Where are Fan Mazi and Ye Lianyi?"
Four years ago, the three men learned from Ye Lianyi that she was in that mine tunnel. After searching for it many times, they decided to dig it up.
Peng Sanyang trembled, "In another mining area."
"lead the way!"
"ah?"
Jiang Yuebai held the knife, and Peng Sanyang was terrified and hurriedly got up to lead the way, constantly looking back at Jiang Yuebai along the way.
No matter what, he couldn't believe that the killer-like girl in front of him was the little girl he could bully at will five years ago.
The murderous aura she exudes is more terrifying than the group of desperadoes in the deepest mine.
Following Peng Sanyang through twists and turns, Jiang Yuebai discovered that the entire underground mineral deposits had been almost exhausted, and new mineral deposits were rarely found in the places she had visited before.
"Why are there so few people?" Jiang Yuebai asked.
Peng Sanyang said, "Young senior, you may not know that the Yinshan Mine has been mined for a hundred years, and the mineral deposits have long been depleted. There has been no mining in recent years, and many people have been transferred to other places to explore for spiritual mines."
"But I heard that not only are the mines controlled by Tianyan Sect out of ore, but the mines of other sects are also close to exhaustion. Steward Cui has been complaining about salary cuts in the past two years, saying that all the major sects are discussing whether to reopen the Lost Secret Realm to search for mineral veins."
"Lost Secret Realm?"
"Yes, it is said that our Earth Spirit Realm and Heaven Spirit Realm were not separated in ancient times. Later, something happened and they became two worlds. At that time, many blessed places and famous mountains and rivers became lost secret realms."
Jiang Yuebai stopped asking questions and walked down. After walking for about half an hour, Peng Sanyang suddenly stopped.
"Go a little further down, and you'll see Ye Lianyi's mark after passing five mine tunnels. In the past two years, a black-faced killer has been lurking in the mine tunnel below. He kills people and animals when he sees them. Almost all the nearby mining teams have been killed. I don't dare to go down."
Jiang Yuebai rubbed his nose and said, "Don't worry, you won't die as long as I'm here."
Peng Sanyang refused to leave, Jiang Yuebai's eyes became fierce and he drew his sword. Peng Sanyang swallowed his saliva and led the way obediently.
Standing in front of the mine tunnel, Jiang Yuebai finally saw the familiar leaf marks and heard tinkling sounds coming from deep inside.
"Wait here, try if you dare."
Jiang Yuebai stepped into the mine alone. Peng Sanyang was alert to his surroundings and mocked him in his heart.
Fan Mazi and Ye Lianyi are now both cultivators at the eighth level of Qi training, and their three subordinates are all at the seventh level of Qi training. They are considered a relatively strong team in the Yinshan Mine, and that is why they are not afraid of the Black-Faced Killer and dare to come down to mine.
She went in alone, she really wanted to die.
Thinking of this, Peng Sanyang couldn't help but feel curious, so he secretly followed a few steps, wanting to see how Jiang Yuebai died.
"Who? Stand still there. If you come any closer, you'll be rude to me!"
The three male cultivators on the outside noticed Jiang Yuebai approaching and shouted at him with pickaxes in their hands.
Jiang Yuebai did not stop, and the three male cultivators looked at each other.
Before the three men could make a move, Jiang Yuebai's eyes flashed coldly and he suddenly drew his sword.
clang!
The sound of the sword echoed and the silver light broke through the air.
Jiang Yuebai flashed behind the three people, slowly took out the wine gourd from his waist and took a sip, then looked sharply at Fan Mazi and Ye Lianyi who were deeper in the room.
Plop!
The three men fell to the ground with a loud bang, blood flowed like a river, and Peng Sanyang screamed and fled in a panic.
When Fan Mazi and Ye Lianyi saw the torn body of Jiang Yuebai behind them, they were horrified and couldn't believe it.
Three people at the seventh level of Qi training were just chopped down by a single sword
Ye Lianyi's pupils trembled violently, and she retracted her gaze to Jiang Yuebai, "It's you!"
Jiang Yuebai glanced at the broken sword in his hand and raised his eyes.
"It's rare that Sister Lianyi still remembers me. I came here today to take back what Sister took from me."
Fan Mazi erupted in anger, "You are looking for death!"
The sound of the bell is particularly loud in the mine tunnel, confusing people's spiritual consciousness and spiritual energy, which has always been Fan Mazi's main killing weapon.
Jiang Yuebai's eyes were indifferent. She was totally unaware of the noise of the bell. She listened to thunder every day, and the sound of the bell was very pleasant to her.
As soon as the gourd was hung, Jiang Yuebai attacked swiftly, holding the knife in both hands and chopped down the bronze bell.
Buzz!
The bell falls and the knife breaks.
Jiang Yuebai was annoyed because this was the last knife he had.
"You dare to embarrass yourself with a broken knife."
Fan Mazi laughed loudly, drew out two butcher knives from his waist and attacked. Ye Lianyi raised her hands and the ground under Jiang Yuebai's feet instantly turned into quicksand.
A handful of thorn seeds was thrown out, and Jiang Yuebai put his fingers together to throw out the earth escape talisman.
Vines were dancing wildly, cold air was growing stronger, Fan Mazi was entangled all over, his two swords slashed into the air, but Jiang Yuebai was no longer there.
Ye Lianyi stepped on the wall to gain leverage, flipped in the air to avoid the thorns, and scanned the surroundings with her spiritual sense.
A black shadow suddenly appeared from behind, with shadows of guns flickering and waves rolling.
Ye Lianyi was horrified and the ten flying knives from her waist shot out, colliding with the waves of gunfire, creating fireworks.
Fan Mazi broke free from the thorns, and the raging flames swept away the frost on his body. He and Ye Lianyi exchanged gunfire, and talismans and magic weapons were thrown all over the sky, with bursts of roars.
Jiang Yuebai was not afraid at all. The man was like a ghost and the gun was like thunder.
The violent storm forced the two men to retreat step by step. Every time they made a move, Jiang Yuebai would see through them and completely suppress them.
Rubble flew everywhere, the mine tunnel was about to collapse, Jiang Yuebai used his escape talisman, flashed behind the two men and shot back.
Ye Lianyi pulled Fan Mazi over.
Phew!
A bullet pierced his heart, and Fan Mazi's eyes were bloodshot and he died on the spot.

Ye Lianyi opened her eyes in horror, blood rushed to her throat, the spear pierced through Fan Mazi's body and stabbed deeply into her chest.
Jiang Yuebai pulled out his spear, and fire thorns flew up. Ye Lianyi was tied up tightly, and the hard thorns pierced into her skin. The fire poison attacked her heart, and she fell to the ground screaming in pain.
Jiang Yuebai raised his head and took a sip of Sui Han Qing, then wiped the corner of his mouth, feeling refreshed.
Jiang Yuebai stood proudly on the spot, leaning on his spear. "In my storage bag, there are one thousand low-grade spirit stones, ten bottles of fasting pills, ten ninth-grade magic tools, and five hundred ninth-grade talismans. Return them to me."
Upon hearing this, Ye Lianyi became furious and struggled and shouted.
"How can there be so much? Only one hundred spirit stones, five bottles of fasting pills and a ninth-grade magic weapon!"
Jiang Yuebai raised his hand and clenched his fist. The fire thorns suddenly tightened, and Ye Lianyi cried out in pain for mercy.
"Take whatever you want, take it all. If I hadn't spared your life, you wouldn't be here today!"
Jiang Yuebai scratched his eyebrows, "That's not right, sister. It's like I was walking down the street and you came over and broke my legs, then gave me a pair of crutches and said I couldn't live without you and I should be grateful to you. Do you think I'm a fool?"
"You!" Ye Lianyi's eyes turned fierce and she suddenly rushed towards Jiang Yuebai.
A light flashed on the cold jade pod on Jiang Yuebai's waist, and ice needles flew out. A red dot appeared on Ye Lianyi's forehead, and she fell at Jiang Yuebai's feet, dying with her eyes open.
"Xiaolu, collect the souls!"
Jiang Yuebai smoothed the cold jade bean pod, and Xiaolu flew out from the sea of consciousness, wandering happily among several corpses, collecting souls and refining them.
Jiang Yuebai took out several people's storage bags, searched carefully, and then pulled out a storage bag from the inside of Ye Lianyi's boots.
There were nearly 100,000 low-grade spirit stones and more than 500 medium-grade spirit stones in the two storage bags. They should be her accumulation over the years, and she was going to hand them over when she left the mine.
After leaving the mine, Peng Sanyang looked pale.
Jiang Yuebai lowered his eyes and used the Dust Purification Technique to sweep away the blood on his body, "The black-faced killer you mentioned is me."
Peng Sanyang fell to the ground, shaking like a sieve, and hurriedly offered the storage bag with both hands, "This is all I have, senior, please spare my life."
"Well, get up and lead the way. I'm going out." Jiang Yuebai put away the storage bag.
"Yes, yes. I will lead the way right away. I will lead the way right away."
Peng Sanyang rolled and crawled, not daring to be negligent.
Finally left the mine and saw the light of day again.
Jiang Yuebai took a deep breath of the air under the clear sky and broad daylight. He felt so refreshed that he wished he could soar into the sky and fly freely.
"Oh! My little ancestor, you are really alive."
When Cui Sheng, the mine manager, saw Jiang Yuebai was very excited, he hurried over.
"Do you know how many people have come to see you over the years?"
