Chapter 721

"The humans on this ancient planet are generally unintelligent. Let's not talk about whether or not the Overlord has the ability to save them. If this person is really as talented as they say, he would have long been taken away by the Divine Sects that descended upon this continent like the other geniuses."

"Pfft! What genius? There are no geniuses on this ancient planet! Those people could only be taken away because the great sects left their inheritance here. They just happened to inherit it! "

When the soldiers mentioned this, their eyes revealed deep jealousy as if this was a great opportunity.

"Alright, it's almost time. Everyone, don't rest. Hurry up and get to work!"

As if to vent the dissatisfaction in their hearts, the soldiers cut their rest time by half. They waved their whips and drove countless ordinary people into the mine to work.

Countless people were angry but did not dare to say anything. They could only follow the orders and enter.

The mine here was very large. The Shen family followed their assigned tasks to a corner of the mine and started a long day of work.

The conditions in the deeper part of the mine were even more difficult. The people responsible for digging the mine were all cultivators. Many of them came from the two academies, the four holy lands, and the five sacred sects.

Compared to ordinary people, the stronger cultivators had spells and magic powers. They should be able to survive better in such an environment. However, this was not the case in reality.

The ore that the foreign powers wanted to mine was very strange. It was called Immortal Treasure Stone. In the past, the cultivators of the Kunlun Continent did not know the value of this thing. Those who knew a little about it were the ancient clans of the northern plains.

When this strange stone was opened, it was possible to find top-grade jade materials or natural treasures. They were priceless.

However, there was also a high possibility of some evil power appearing and bringing danger.

There happened to be such a huge mine near the Glacial Abyss. It was made entirely of Immortal Treasure Stone. This made the foreign powers greedy.

However, mining this mine was risky. When mining, it could attract the evil power in the ore. Hence, the foreign powers were not willing to take this risk.

They could not use barbaric methods to take away this mine. That would affect its great value.

Hence, in the end, they found a way. That was to use human lives to open the mine.

They used the lives of countless living beings on the Kunlun Continent to open the mine. The cultivators were not allowed to use too much power. They could only mine carefully.

Under such circumstances, there were Kunlun Continent cultivators who got careless while mining every day, getting invaded by evil energy and dying a violent death.

Compared to them, the ordinary mortals in the periphery only had access to half mined immortal treasures. They were mainly responsible for transporting and simple processing, so the risk was much lower.

Hence, the cultivators of the various factions of the Kunlun Continent lived in fear every day. Many people could not endure this humiliation and chose to resist. In the end, they died a violent death.

"Ahhh —"

In the depths of the mine, an old man suddenly fell to the ground. His body twitched, and his face contorted in extreme pain.

"Senior Nangong, are you alright?"

Huang Pingzhang and Yuchi Zhong hurried forward, their faces full of worry.

Not far away from them, the Sacred Lords of Xuantian Sect, Glazed Light Sect, South Flower Sacred Ground, and Heaven's Pivot Sacred Ground hurried over.

The two deans of the True Martial Academy and the Mystic Arts Academy also walked over with concern. Puji Holy Monk even stepped forward and took Nangong Zheng's pulse to diagnose him.

"The Old Man is fine. It's just that the old problem of the Poisonous Body is acting up again."

Nangong Zheng took a long time to recover and said weakly.

Back then, he was used as an experimental subject by the Man with a Bamboo Hat. Although he had a powerful cultivation, he also had many problems since then.

His Ten Thousand Poison Body would act up every once in a while, and he had to endure inhumane torture when it acted up.

Originally, this situation had already been alleviated, but ever since he came to the North Plains to mine, the Ten Thousand Poison Body acted up more and more, and the situation became more and more serious, making him suffer unspeakably.

Now, the only thing that supported him was an indomitable will.

"Why are you all dawdling? Hurry up and get to work!"

A few extraterrestrial soldiers entered the mine and saw a large group of people gathered together and not working, so they immediately urged them.

"He needs to rest!" Huang Pingzhang hurriedly said.

Elder Nangong was their Sect Master's great benefactor. Now that his Poisonous Body was acting up so badly, it was too dangerous for him to go deep into the mine. They could not sit back and do nothing.

Otherwise, if the Sect Master came back one day and Elder Nangong was gone, how would they have the face to see them?

"Rest? Whether you can rest or not, only this daddy has the final say! "

That soldier snorted disdainfully. He actually waved the long whip in his hand and lashed it at Elder Nangong who was lying on the ground!

"Bang."

Wei Chizhong hurriedly protected himself. That long whip was a special magic tool, when it hit his body, his skin and flesh immediately split open.

However, he didn't even make a sound. He was a tough guy.

"Yo, you can actually help others take the whip, you're very powerful, aren't you?"

That soldier seemed to be angered, or maybe he was looking for fun, for a moment, he crazily lashed the whip at Wei Chizhong.

Wei Chizhong was lashed until his whole body was dripping with blood. This scene made many of the cultivators present unable to continue watching.

"Stop! That's enough! "

"Please let him go!"

Everyone spoke up.

"Hmph, whether it's enough or not, only I have the final say."

That soldier had a smug look in his eyes, "Remember, you are just dogs that we raised. Recognize your position, it's good for you and not bad for you."

After he finished speaking, his companions beside him roared with laughter.

This group of people were once the leaders of Kun Lun Continent, but now they suffered such a great humiliation. They all glared at each other.

"What's wrong? Dissatisfied? "

A few soldiers looked at the angry group of people and felt their scalps go numb, but they immediately retorted. "Think about your relatives, disciples, and friends outside. If you dare to resist, I'll throw them into the icy abyss!"

With these words of threat, all the Divine Leaders revealed grief in their eyes, and their courage to fly into the flame disappeared by half.

How did they end up in such a state? How long would this kind of life last?

"Alright, hurry up and continue working! Those on the ground, don't lie down and pretend to be dead! "

The few soldiers did not want to shed all pretense of cordiality, as that would affect the set mining amount, so they stopped while they were ahead.

"Senior Nangong, are you alright?"

Huang Pingzhang and Wei Chizhong helped Nangong Zheng up.

"A little better." Nangong Zheng forced a smile, but after taking a few steps, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and his veins popped out.

He staggered and fell to the ground again.

"That's enough, get out here!"

The few soldiers were angered by this scene. They felt that Nangong Zheng had been dragging them down, so they might as well beat him to death.

They went forward and tried to drag Nangong Zheng away. A group of Kun Lun Continent cultivators immediately gathered and protected him.
