Chapter 170: Running Away

Before the Qian family could chisel open the cave mouth, the spirit stones inside the spirit mine were already completely dug out.

They were dug out so thoroughly that not a single one remained. Elder Yu himself checked twice, then scanned twice with his divine sense. He even had Mo Hua check once with his divine sense to confirm that there were no remaining spirit stones before he finally felt relieved.

"Elder, are we running away now?" Mo Hua asked somewhat expectantly.

He had stayed in the spirit mine for a long, long time and hadn't been home. The meat in his storage bag was all eaten, and the wine he was reluctant to drink was also consumed to the last drop.

Elder Yu circled the spirit mine one more time, then decisively waved his hand and said:

"Withdraw!"

Thus, nearly a thousand demon hunters, with their bodies full of storage bags and carrying storage boxes in pairs, left through another already-dug mine tunnel one after another.

These storage bags and storage boxes were all prepared by Elder Yu in advance.

The storage bags used by Qi Refining stage cultivators were the most roughly made. Although convenient to carry, the space inside was very small.

Storage boxes were square, and the space inside was quite a bit larger, but they were not very convenient to carry. They were usually only used when carrying large items.

Although the spirit mine was small, the spirit stones dug out were not few. Elder Yu had brought all the storage bags and storage boxes he could get to transport all the spirit stones away.

Mo Hua followed behind his father, Mo Shan, and also advanced step by step with the demon hunter team, finally leaving the mine tunnel.

The exit of the mine tunnel was very hidden. It was carefully selected by Elder Yu based on Mo Hua's map.

After all, among the entire demon hunters, no one's map was drawn more detailed than Mo Hua's.

Even without Mo Hua's map, Elder Yu would not have discovered this location.

Leaving the mine tunnel, outside was the outer area of the Great Black Mountain.

Mo Hua suddenly felt a wave of familiarity.

Familiar mountains, dense forests, mixed with thin clouds of miasma, soft soil and stones underfoot, a faint and fresh earthy smell, and the mountain wind constantly brushing against his cheeks, as well as the calls of demon beasts echoing back and forth between the mountains.

All of this made Mo Hua's mood joyful, and the stuffiness inside the mine cave instantly dissipated.

Elder Yu had not yet put his heart at ease. Upon leaving the mine tunnel, he immediately said:

"Hurry up! Go back early, it'll be trouble if the Qian family catches up!"

The demon hunters began to accelerate their pace, striving to leave the Great Black Mountain and hurry back to Tongxian City before the Qian family caught up.

Once they entered Tongxian City, the Qian family would not dare to easily make a move.

And the demon hunters could have ten years of worry-free life!

On the other side, Qian Hong also sensed something was wrong.

Because for several days, Elder Yu had not cursed at him.

Qian Hong leaped to the cave mouth where Elder Yu usually appeared halfway up the mountain. He walked a few steps forward and discovered that this cave mouth had also been sealed.

Qian Hong's heart turned cold.

Why seal this cave mouth?

Because they had already dug out the spirit mine and run away!

That old fellow Yu Changlin also didn't need to waste his breath here anymore!

Qian Hong could not calm down. He urgently shouted:

"Quick! Hurry and dig! This group of demon hunters has already escaped!"

Finding the mine tunnel dug by Yu Changlin in the Great Black Mountain was already impossible. Compared to their understanding of the Great Black Mountain, their Qian family was far from being comparable to the demon hunters who relied on the mountain for sustenance.

Now, the plan was only to break open the cave mouth and go in through the cave mouth to find the escape mine tunnel of the demon hunters.

The Qian family cultivators labored to chisel the stone wall, time after time.

Each time they chiseled open a bit, the array would repair itself a bit.

Qian Hong's heart was burning with anxiety, and he became more and more angry at the array master who drew this array!

An array like this, drawing one would be enough, but you actually set three inside and outside!

What kind of thick-skinned shameless person!

Finally, Qian Hong really couldn't bear it anymore and called Qian Zhongxuan over. The two Foundation Building stage cultivators acted together, condensing their spiritual power and rushing forward, directly forcibly breaking the array and tearing down the stone wall of the cave mouth.

However, even so, it took nearly half an hour.

Qian Hong hurriedly rushed into the mine cave and scanned with his divine sense. Where was there even half a demon hunter's figure!

Not to mention demon hunters, not even a single spirit stone was seen.

This was a spirit mine, ah, it was dug clean!

Not one spirit stone remained!

In his heart, Qian Hong cursed Yu Changlin from head to toe.

To what extent of stinginess could one dig a spirit mine like a dog gnawing a bone, not leaving a single bit of meat.

A Qian family disciple came to report: "Family Head, a mine tunnel has been discovered."

Qian Hong immediately rushed over and indeed discovered a newly dug mine tunnel. Unlike the mine tunnel that deceived them, this mine tunnel was deeper and wider.

The entrance of the mine tunnel was also sealed with rubble, but only rubble, no array.

They must have withdrawn in a hurry and didn't have time to set it up.

Qian Hong struck with a palm, and the surging spiritual power directly shook the rubble at the cave mouth away.

Qian Hong sternly instructed: "All disciples, immediately go chase. If you see demon hunters, kill without mercy!"

Upon hearing this, the Qian family cultivators all had solemn expressions. They no longer hesitated and leaped into the mine tunnel one after another, chasing after the demon hunters.

When the demon hunters were halfway there, Elder Yu suddenly had a feeling. He leaped several times to ascend the mountaintop, turned back to look, and couldn't help but frown.

After Elder Yu came down, Mo Hua asked:

"Is the Qian family catching up?"

Elder Yu's expression was grave, and he nodded.

Mo Hua thought for a moment and said: "Didn't the Dao Court Division say that they would only designate Nameless Peak for us to fight? Now that we're out of Nameless Peak, they still dare to make a move?"

Elder Yu said: "The Qian family suffered too great a loss. Now they can only fight back like cornered beasts. If they chase and kill us and win, they can swallow all the spirit stones. If they don't chase and kill us, they won't earn a single spirit stone and will also lose their capital."

Mo Hua's expression also became grave, "Then the Qian family will definitely not let go."

Elder Yu nodded, "They are now starving and crazy wolves. They smell blood and come chasing, wanting to eat our flesh. Once they catch up, it's basically a fight to the death."

"Then if we escape into Tongxian City, will that be useful?"

"Once we reach Tongxian City, they won't dare to make a move. Even if they suffer a great loss, they'll have to swallow it themselves."

Seeing that Mo Hua didn't quite understand, Elder Yu explained again:

"The Great Black Mountain is relatively chaotic, and it's difficult for the Dao Court Division to manage things that happen there. But Tongxian City is different. That is under the jurisdiction of the Dao Court Division and is a place openly ordered and strictly governed by the Dao Court. There can be no chaos..."

"If the Qian family dares to make a move inside Tongxian City, lightly speaking, it's not putting the Dao Court Division in their eyes. Heavily speaking, it's despising the Dao laws and rebelling against the Dao Court! This is a serious crime!"

Mo Hua still had some doubts, "But, the Dao Court Division in Tongxian City doesn't have many cultivators, and their power isn't as great as the Qian family's. If the Qian family rebels, what then?"

"You don't know this," Elder Yu raised an eyebrow and said, "The Dao Court Division is governed by the Dao Court, upholds the authority of the Dao Court, and represents the face of the Dao Court. If the Qian family goes too far, the Dao Court Division can report to the Dao Court and request to transfer Dao soldiers to directly suppress and kill the Qian family clan!"

Elder Yu looked at Mo Hua and slowly said: "At that time, the entire Qian family will have their status revoked and names removed, the family head will kneel for his crime and be beheaded, the family business will be confiscated, the inheritance handed over, and the clan members will either be killed, relocated, or exiled, and will be casually changed to another surname, never allowed to surname Qian for life. The Qian family in Tongxian City will then no longer exist!"

Mo Hua was endlessly shocked upon hearing this.
