“Didn’t you hear?”
“Hear what? Is there any big news lately?”
“You really don’t know?”
“Don’t keep us in suspense. Do say.”
“Great Gorge Ridge’s largest sect, Brave Moon Sect has been destroyed!”
“What?!”
“Is this for real?”
“Of course, it is true! When did I ever tell fake news?”
“That’s true. Come on, what the hell is going on?”
“Hehe, let me tell you something. Don’t you know that Brave Moon Sect has done a lot of bad things over the years?”
“Sigh, what are you trying to say? Don’t keep us hanging, or we might beat you for you!”
“That’s right. Hurry up or you might get beaten until you can’t get out of bed.”
“Alright, I’ll tell you!” The person who mentioned the incident started, “Brave Moon Sect altered the teleportation array in Brave Moon City and transferred many people to the West Coast Desert.”
“West Coast Desert? How did they teleport people there?”
“Hehe, you don’t know that Brave Moon Sect found a mineral vein in the West Coast Desert. But because it was unknown to the public, they did not dare to recruit people. So they use these methods to quietly transfer people over.”
“How could those people give in?”
“Of course, they refused to. Brave Moon Sect actually made slave rings!”
“Slave rings?!”
They sucked in a mouthful of cold breath. “Really? Brave Moon Sect is the first prestigious sect in Great Gorge Ridge. How could they use such indecent things!”
“Right, so when those people escaped and returned to their own forces, those big sects were furious. Many of them joined forces to destroy Brave Moon Sect.”
“Brave Moon Sect brought trouble upon themselves. How dare they use such indecent means. If they only capture civilians, it would be alright. But they dare to arrest people casually. They deserved it!”
“This ore can not be dug by ordinary people. Only one of ten spirit masters can. Of course, they can only use this method to catch people.”
“When those people wore the slave ring, they naturally lose their resistance.” Some people could understand why Brave Moon Sect dared to do so. “How did this matter get exposed? How did those people escape?”
“It’s said that they arrested people that they shouldn’t have. Instead of being caught by them, they even released all of them. This is what happened.”
“Speaking of which, those sects that allied to destroyed Brave Moon Sect are not simply retaliating for their sect members? Maybe they were also thinking of having a piece of the West Coast Desert mine!”
“Haha, that conjecture is right!” A person chuckled. “Those sects people did not kill everyone from the Brave Moon Sect. At the end, they interrogated the location of West Coast Desert mine. Can you guess what happened next?”
“Did some early bird beat them to the nest?” Someone speculated.
“Yes, but also no.”
“What do you mean by no. What happened?”
“When those people got there, the mine was gone. A huge pit appeared in the original mine’s location!”
“Tsk— is this for real?”
“How can a mineral vein disappear suddenly?”
“Did someone dug out the mine in such a short time?”
“How is that possible. It’s a mineral vein. Brave Moon Sect only dugged a tenth of it for several years. How can it be dug completely in a short period of time?”
“What’s going on? Isn’t it strange that it vanished?”
“This has become a mystery. Some people speculate it’s powerhouse from another placed by and absorbed all the ore from the entire mine. But whether it’s true or not, no one knows?”
“Could it be taken away by those who saved those people in there?”
“No. those that were released said those who rescued them looked very young. None of them were over fifty years old, and their strength wasn’t that great. It is impossible for them to take the whole mineral vein.”
“How can a dozen people rescued them all?”
“It is said that there were two array masters and weapon refiner. These array masters are usually hard to come by, and aren’t strong, but their combat effectiveness is quite amazing.”
“I’m really curious where this mine went off to…”
Sima You Yue and the party sat in a private room while listening to the people in the lobby below discussing the matter about Brave Moon Sect.
They were currently in the Red Leaf Ridge next to Great Gorge Ridge. Half of a month had passed by after that event.
“I didn’t expect those people to be so fast. Although Brave Moon Sect a large great sect, they were so easily destroyed.” Fatty Qu commented.
“Even if Brave Moon Sect has high strength, they can’t withstand the anger of all these sects. Even those who are less powerful, when they heard about such a large mineral vein, they will use their excuses to add in their own efforts.
Without effect, how can they get a share of the spoils?
Therefore,there were so many people against Brave Moon Sect. The Brave Moon Sect soon was destroyed.
But the final result was quite surprising. The whole mineral vein was gone!
Sima You Yue and they smiled unscrupulously when they imagined the expressions that might appear when those people saw the huge pit.
No one would imagine that they have the space to accommodate the entire mine. After the mine entered the spirit pagoda, they were naturally under the control of little spirit. It became easy to dig out the crystals and orbs inside.
They have been living in this inn since they left Great Gorge Ridge, intending to leave under the commotion. Now, they were relieved to hear that this event didn’t affect them.
Since they accepted a mission of the sect, it was not good to stay outside for too long. They planned to depart by the dark forest.
While staying in the inn, they had figured out the location of the dark forest. From there they can take a teleportation array to the nearby green city. Afterwards, they could use flying spirit beast to travel for 8-10 days.
The dark forest, like the West Coast Desert was a no man’s land. There weren’t any cities in it, and the area was vast. It was easy to get lost in it after entering. Once lost, they would not be able to leave for every 8-10 years.
But those lost did not come out for 8-10 years because of the many spirit beasts in there. Once one step in a place they shouldn’t, their outcome is self-evident.
Sima You Yue and the party did not rush into the dark forest, but went to find an inn. Then Sima You Yue, Bei Gong Tang, and Little Seven went out together.
They asked the shopkeeper of the inn about the location of the Xuan Yuan Pavilion in green city. It was two streets away, so they planned to stroll over there.
After walking for half an hour, they saw the signboard of Xuan Yuan Pavilion. A person passed by them when they entered the door. the person was enshrouded in a cloak. But when they passed him, he exposed his sharp chin.
