Chapter 1420: Chapter 1420 Both Good and Evil
Ye Liuyun also agreed to Qu Jing’s request. "Alright, I will wait for your news before taking action!"
But after he finished speaking, he suddenly smiled.
"What is wrong?" Qu Jing was a little puzzled about what was Ye Liuyun laughing at.
Ye Liuyun said slowly, "I just want you to see the results with your own eyes! Otherwise, why do you think I have to wait for your confirmation? Do I need your help and approval?" freewebnøvel.coɱ
Qu Jing was also stunned when he heard that, but he immediately nodded. Although Ye Liuyun’s words were a little harsh, they were the truth.
Ye Liuyun definitely had the strength to attack directly, so there was no need to ask for his opinion.
The reason why Ye Liuyun had said this was to remind Qu Jing not to go back on his word after the matter was done. Otherwise, he would destroy Qu Jing like how he destroyed King Xifeng.
Before Qu Jingyun left, he asked Ye Liuyun, "Have you already made this plan before you came here?"
Ye Liuyun looked at Qu Jing and laughed again. "You really think of me as a demon! Haha, that is fine. You can do whatever you want!"
Ye Liuyun also knew that he had truly frightened them the last time he had wiped out four hundred thousand troops to serve as food for his feral beasts.
This kind of impression could not be changed.
But he did not care if he was seen as a demon or not.
He was here to find resources and to cultivate. He did not care about anything else.
Moreover, with the reputation of being a demon, others would not dare to target him easily. At least, Qu Jing would not dare to do so now!
Qu Jing then walked out of Ye Liuyun’s residence in confusion.
He felt that Ye Liuyun was both righteous and evil.
Ye Liuyun was righteous in that he had never taken the initiative to harm anyone but he was also evil because once he took action, he was truly ruthless.
Qu Jing did not even have the courage to kill four hundred thousand people in one go.
And now Ye Liuyun was thinking about the four hundred thousand soldiers of King Xifeng and also mineral veins. This was beyond an ordinary demon!
However, it just so happened that Ye Liuyun dared to think about it. Furthermore, he still had the strength to do so!
Qu Jing did not know whether it was good or bad for him to know Ye Liuyun! It was as if his fate had changed ever since he met Ye Liuyun.
However, Ye Liuyun had saved his family several times, so he had no choice but to be grateful to him.
In the end, he had no choice but to shake his head and not think too much. He only hoped that King Xifeng would not go too far today and allow them to survive here.
But when King Xifeng arrived, he had an ominous feeling.
King Xifeng greeted him with a fake smile on his face, followed by four Sacred Majesty experts and twenty Sacred Terra martial practitioners.
Qu Jing could not help but ask King Xifeng, "Are you bringing so many experts with us to visit the mineral vein?"
"Haha!" King Xifeng laughed and explained to him, "There are many accidents in the mineral vein, and there are many miners who are forced to come. Take them with you will be safer!"
There seemed to be nothing wrong with this statement.
Feeling helpless, Qu Jing had no choice but to go along with several commanders, together with Ye Liuyun, Qu Wanying, and the others.
He did not bring his personal guards with him. In front of the Sacred Majesty and Sacred Terra experts, it did not make much difference if he brought them along.
Seeing that Qu Jing did not even bring any guards with him, King Xifeng chatted even more excitedly with Qu Jing along the way.
Ye Liuyun and Qu Wanying walked at the back to reduce their presence.
The closer they got to the mineral vein, the higher the temperature became. They could even see the fire of the Fire Crystal mineral vein from a distance.
"Is the temperature of this Fire Crystal mineral vein so high?" Qu Jing immediately hesitated.
"You do not have to go so far," said King Xifeng.
"Oh, then that is fine!" Qu Jing did not know much about the situation, so he could only listen to what King Xifeng said.
But as they walked, bodies appeared on the side of the road. Some of them had been sucked dry by the high temperature and turned into skeletons. At first glance, they looked like the bodies of ordinary people.
If they were the martial practitioners and their virtuoso was still there, the genuine energy could protect the corpse from decaying.
Furthermore, the bones of those skeletons had already turned black. Ye Liuyun could tell at a glance that they had been eroded by Devil Qi.
These people were all affected too much by the Devil Qi, and they had no realm to resist it, that was why they were dead.
"What happened with these corpses?" Qu Jing asked King Xifeng.
"They are all ordinary miners! Some died of exhaustion, and some ran away or made trouble and were sentenced to death," said King Xifeng indifferently.
Ye Liuyun had indeed seen that some miners had been killed by sharp blades.
However, Qu Jing could feel the Devil Qi on the corpses, so he went to check it out.
Then he asked King Xifeng, "These corpses seem to be infected with the Devil Qi?"
King Xifeng frowned, but he did not want to fall out with him immediately.
Then he explained to him with a smile, "There is a Devil Crystal mineral vein here! Although we do not mine the Devil Crystal mineral vein, there will still be some Devil Qi seeping out. These miners with no realm cannot resist the erosion of Devil Qi, that is why they die!"
He said it very easily, as if these miners who had no realm should have died.
"But do not worry, as long as you are in the genuine energy realm, you can resist these Devil Qi! Your soldiers will not have any problem!" King Xifeng added, in case Qu Jing was worried.
However, when Qu Jing and the others saw that there were more and more corpses along the way, they could not help but have doubts.
The further they went in, the higher the temperature became and the heavier the Devil Qi became. They also needed to protect themselves with their genuine energy to ensure that they would not be burned by the hot air and the Devil Qi.
After they continued moving forward, they encountered a team of soldiers, escorting hundreds of miners who had no realm to dig the crystal core from a pile of stones.
These miners were all so skinny, and their bodies had been invaded by the Devil Qi.
When they passed by, there were even miners who fell directly to the ground. The soldiers only asked the others to throw the bodies aside and continue to mine.
When the leader of the soldiers saw King Xifeng come over, he immediately came over to flatter him.
"How was your harvest today?" King Xifeng asked casually.
"The harvest today is not bad. From this morning until now, we have already dug up more than fifty crystals!" The leader replied.
"That is still too little!" King Xifeng said with dissatisfaction.
"Your Highness, these miners do not have any realm. They cannot proceed any further, or else they can dig a lot more!" The leader explained.
"Alright!" King Xifeng waved his hand and chased the leader away. He then continued to bring Ye Liuyun and the others deeper into the mineral vein.
Qu Jing and the others did not know where these miners came from. They could not say anything, so they could only follow silently.
But now they knew that it was not easy to dig out the fire crystal from the Fire Crystal mineral vein.
"Do not worry. These miners have a high death rate because they do not cultivate and have no resistance to the Devil Qi!" As he walked, he explained to them.
