"What if you live this long? What if I can kill you?"
Xiao Qing sneered at Gu Xingyuan and said, "Don't you think these two are a bit ridiculous?"
"You are a person in the realm of Yuan Zun, but you actually say that you can't kill a person in the realm of Yuan Huang?"
"Are you too incompetent or am I too ignorant?"
A strong person in the Yuan Zun realm is two levels higher than a person in the Yuan Huang realm.
This difference is like the difference between clouds and mud.
Let alone one person in the Yuanhuang realm, even if there are a hundred or a thousand, it will only take seconds.
Even those in the Yuan Sheng realm can instantly kill those in the Yuan Zun realm.
Therefore, to Xiao Qinglai, Gu Xingyuan's words seemed very ridiculous.
"Deacon Xiao, Deacon He, please don't forget that he only had the strength of King Yuan before, yet he dared to make that kind of bet with Yang Hai."
Gu Xingyuan said, "And later, he won the bet."
"Only relying on the strength of the Yuanhuang realm, I defeated those in the Yuan Sheng realm and won the first place in the resource competition."
"To put it bluntly, he only gambles when he is sure."
"If I'm not sure, will he seek my death?"
"He is not stupid, on the contrary, he is very smart."
"You guys were here just now. He has been forcing me just to make me take this gamble with him."
"If I really agreed, then I would have really fallen into a trap."
"At that time, once I lose, not only will I become the biggest joke in this era, but you will also become a joke because of it."
"If it's just me, then it's easy to say, but at worst, I don't want this reputation anymore."
"But with you and the Tianyang Sect with me, I can't mess around."
"So, even if I was forced by Liu Hao in an almost humiliating way, I didn't agree."
Hearing this, Xiao Qing laughed.
"Brother Gu, I can't even accept your excuses."
Xiao Qing smiled and said, "After a long relationship, you are still thinking about us?"
"Afraid, just afraid, don't dare, just don't dare." He Zhan said disdainfully, "Why is there so much nonsense?"
"Anyway, things have already happened, so it is useless to talk so much. Next, we only need to target the Huo Ling Sect."
"My goal is simple, to capture this arrogant person."
"Take him into a corpse slave!"
Gu Xingyuan was not angry after hearing this.
He seems to have a very high status in the Huo Ling Sect.
The right to speak seems to be very important.
But in fact, in Tianyang Sect, his status is just like that.
If he hadn't been good at alchemy, and he was smart enough and tolerant enough, he might not have been able to have such a wide network of contacts.
Just like now, although, he has a cooperative relationship with Xiao Qing and He Zhan.
But, that is all in exchange for resources.
Therefore, even if these two people spoke a little harshly, he wouldn't care.
…
Early the next morning.
Liu Hao and Ling Wan'er got up early, and under the leadership of Ling Xuan, headed towards the location of the Xingyan Mine.
However, just when a group of three people had just left the Huo Ling Sect, they suddenly saw a figure waiting in front of them.
This person is none other than Hermione from Longyang Sect.
"Hermione has met Master Lingxuan!"
Hermione first bowed slightly towards Lingxuan, then turned her eyes to Ling Wan'er, "Sister Wan'er."
Ling Wan'er chuckled, walked over, and grabbed Hermione, "Sister Hermione, why are you here today?"
"I came to see him for something."
Hermione turned to Liu Hao and said, "I wonder if Hao is free?"
Liu Hao asked, "What does Senior Sister Hermione want from me?"
Hermione said, "I want to talk to you alone."
Liu Hao turned to Lingxuan and said, "Sect Master, you go first, I will follow you later."
Anyway, I already know the place.
Moreover, the Eighth Elder Wang Qing has taken over the Xingyan mine.
Therefore, he felt that there was no problem in going there alone.
"We are waiting for you in front."
Lingxuan did not agree. He was worried that He Zhan, Xiao Qing and others might target Liu Hao, so he was unwilling to leave too far.
Immediately, he took Ling Wan'er away.
…
Wait until Lingxuan and Lingwan'er leave.
Only Liu Hao and Hermione were left.
Liu Hao said, "If you have anything to do, you can talk about it now."
However, Hermione's face turned red and she became slightly embarrassed.
Liu Hao frowned when he saw this scene, "What's wrong? Is there something else that Senior Sister Hermione can't tell me about?"
Hearing this, Hermione felt warm in her heart.
Immediately, he gritted his teeth and said, "Ah Hao, to be honest, I came to you this time to ask for your help."
"help?"
Liu Hao frowned and asked, "How can I help you?"
"The thing is like this..."
Immediately, Hermione told all the elders of the sect and her father around her that they wanted to marry Liu Hao.
After finishing speaking, he smiled bitterly and said, "To be honest, I am a little moved by their proposal."
"Unfortunately, I know very well that it is impossible for you, Hao, to have sex with me, senior sister."
"Moreover, now that Ahao already has someone in his heart, it is even less possible for him to marry his senior sister again."
"Of course, let alone Hui Longyang Sect."
"But, I couldn't tell them this, so I could only endure these grievances and choose to agree."
"After all, that is my sect, and its sect leader is also my father."
"Although, neither my father nor the elders forced me anymore in the end."
"But, I can't ignore Longyang Sect."
"If I really want Longyang Sect to fall, I won't be able to benefit myself."
"So, the purpose of my coming here this time is to hope that you, Ah Hao, can stop caring about the Longyang Sect's grievances against you."
"In the future, if there is a chance, I can help Longyang Sect again."
"Of course, I also know that my request is unfair to you, Hao."
"Longyang Sect is targeting you like this and asking for your help. I actually feel uncomfortable in my heart."
"But, who told me that I am the daughter of the leader of Longyang Sect?"
"well……"
Having said this, Hermione also sighed quite heavily.
For her, taking the initiative to come to Liu Hao took a lot of courage.
If you want to tell all these things to Liu Hao, you will undoubtedly reveal the most embarrassing side of yourself to Liu Hao.
This made her feel even more painful and aggrieved.
But what can be done?
After all, Longyang Sect is her sect.
He Tianlei is her father after all!
Now, she is the only one who can help Longyang Sect.
If she doesn't come forward, she can only watch the Longyang Sect decline.
"Sister, I can understand your difficulties."
Liu Hao said, "In fact, if it is just a transaction between sects, for your sake, I will make the sect master no longer embarrass your Longyang Sect."
"How to come, or how to come."
"I won't help you, but I won't cause you any trouble."
"For me, that's the bottom line."
"I also have a temper. It is impossible to expect me to take more care of your Longyang Sect."
"but……"
Having said this, Liu Hao shook his head again and sighed, "Unfortunately, even if it is just such a small request, I may not be able to help you."
"..."
Hermione was slightly startled when she heard this.
Immediately, his face turned gloomy, "It doesn't matter, I know you are in trouble too, Ah Hao, and I also know that the Lingxuan Sect Master probably won't agree, I..."
"That's not the reason."
Liu Hao replied, "Senior Sister Hermione, you don't have to think nonsense. The reason why I said I can't help you is because I don't want your Longyang Sect to be implicated anymore."
Hermione was stunned and asked, "Implicated? What kind of involvement?"
"Sister Hermione doesn't know something."
Liu Hao replied, "Yesterday, after the battle for resources ended, people from the Diyang Sect recruited me."
"And he threatened me, saying that if I didn't join the Diyang Sect, I might be in trouble, and the Huo Ling Sect might be in trouble too."
"Of course, if it's just Diyang Sect's trouble, that would be slightly better."
"The problem is, in addition to the troubles of Diyang Sect, there are also troubles of Tianyang Sect."
"Yesterday, after we came back, the third elder of Huo Ling Sect, Gu Xingyuan, came to our Huo Ling Sect with his people."
"them……"
Immediately, Liu Hao briefly explained what happened.
Then, he said, "In other words, the current Huo Ling Sect is almost unable to protect itself."
"To put it bluntly, disaster may come at any time."
"If your Long Yang Sect still wants to cooperate with our Huo Ling Sect, we will not refuse."
"It's just that I'm afraid that your Longyang Sect will be implicated again, thus hastening its demise."
Then, Hermione said angrily, "Anyway, he is also the third elder of the Fire Spirit Sect!"
"It's just that I don't want to help my sect, but I actually did something like this."
"Such a person is simply unworthy of being a human being."
Hearing this, Liu Hao smiled.
Said, "Such things are normal, senior sister Hermione don't need to pay too much attention to it."
"Then what do you, the Fire Spirit Sect, plan to do?"
Hermione asked, "Are you going to just ignore it?"
"The sect master said, don't worry about him for the time being."
Liu Hao replied, "The Tianyang Sect is not like other forces, and it is impossible to communicate with them through normal channels."
He added, "So, we can only wait for them to take action."
"this……"
Hermione opened her mouth, but she didn't know what to say.
It is obvious that the Huo Ling Sect can only admit defeat now.
That's what the disaster was.
In fact, in terms of the ability of the Huoling Sect, it is indeed impossible to fight with the Tianyang Sect.
Unless, we can find a higher-level figure from the Tianyang Sect to put pressure on Gu Xingyuan and others.
However, the top leaders of the Tianyang Sect generally communicate directly with important figures from other major forces outside of the human race.
How can you waste time taking care of these small things?
Naturally, let alone dealing with people like the Huo Ling Sect.
"Okay, you can go back. I still have things to deal with, so I won't accompany you."
Liu Hao smiled slightly and said, "I believe that after my explanation, you should be able to explain it when you go back."
After saying that, Liu Hao moved and left without saying too much nonsense.
"..."
Hermione originally wanted to say something, but when Liu Hao left, she opened her mouth, but in the end she said nothing.
…
An hour later.
Liu Hao and Ling Wan'er, under the leadership of Ling Xuan, arrived outside the Xingyan Mine.
At this time, outside the Xingyan Mine vein, the Eighth Elder Wang Qing was waiting here.
"metropolitan!"
When Wang Qing came to Lingxuan, he immediately greeted him and bowed his hands.
"kindness!"
Lingxuan nodded and said, "How is the situation of the Xingyan mineral vein?"
"After I took over yesterday, I did a thorough inspection."
Wang Qing said immediately, "Everyone inside has been cleared out, and I have carefully reviewed the situation."
As he spoke, he pointed to the passage behind him and said, "This is the only entrance to the Xingyan Mine. It was driven in, and it is about a thousand meters deep."
"It extends about a hundred meters underground."
"The Xingyan mine there has been dug up by the Xingsha Sect. However, according to the investigation, the veins can only be truly dug out if it extends downward for at least a hundred meters."
"In addition, we also found that there is a crack zone over there."
"The crack is not too wide and can just accommodate one person."
"However, there is no elemental power in it."
"Moreover, once you enter, the energy from the outside world will also be isolated."
"So, we guess that the bottom of the crack zone may be a partition zone."
"That's why it's considered a dangerous place."
Hearing this, Lingxuan nodded.
Turning to Liu Hao, "Do you have any more questions?"
"Let's talk after we go in!"
After Liu Hao finished speaking, he took the lead and headed towards the passage.
Lingxuan and the other three quickly followed.
…
After a while.
A group of four people came to the end of the Star Flame Mine.
This end is just an end dug out temporarily.
Almost all the star flame veins inside have been dug out.
The passage ahead has turned into black rocks.
If you dig down towards the black rock, you should still find a large number of star flame veins.
However, if you really want to dig, it will definitely take time.
What Liu Hao lacks most now is time. He can't wait to dig out the veins before looking for the 'Star Flame Divine Flame'.
So, he turned his attention to the crack zone.
This crack zone is on the right side of the passage.
Going up, it actually looks like a passage.
However, this passage is extremely dark and does not have any elemental power.
At a glance, there is absolutely nothing going on inside.
Even if you throw a stone at it, you won't hear any sound at all.
It's like a bottomless pit.
"Let me go in!"
After a slight hesitation, Liu Hao walked towards the crack...
