Chapter 506: There’s A Problem With This Wall....

“I thought we were called here to guard the main gate?” said Xin Yuyue coldly.
Zheng Shijiu and others frowned slightly.
These people were deliberately making things difficult because they wanted to show their dominance.
“Is that what you were told? We didn’t say anything like that.” The woman at the Foundation Establishment Realm smiled.
The other two also smiled as if enjoying the show.
“Alright. We’ll guard it for ten days.” Jiang Hao nodded.
The three Foundation Establishment Realm individuals were surprised that he agreed so quickly.
Xin Yuyue and the others were a bit angry, but since Jiang Hao had spoken, there was nothing more to say.
“It seems you have the courage and fortitude worthy of being the leader this time, Fellow Disciple Jiang,” the middle-aged man in charge said with a meaningful look.
Jiang Hao then walked to the inside.
But before he could enter, he was stopped by two Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators.
“Can’t enter?” Jiang Hao looked at the middle-aged man who seemed to be in charge.
“You can’t.” The man shook his head.
“Why?” Jiang Hao asked calmly.
“You haven’t gained our approval yet. You need to defend against the enemy outside for ten days first. Only then can you gain our approval to enter,” the middle-aged man said.
Can I enter after ten days then?” Jiang Hao asked again.
“After ten days, you can enter the main gate. However, there are three subsequent tests. If you pass them all, we will submit and assist you in defending this place,” the middle-aged man said apologetically. “It’s unavoidable. After all, this place is not ordinary. With a new leader arriving, we have to be cautious in our approach. Assessment is necessary. I hope you understand.”
“Aren’t you being a little unreasonable? Junior Brother Jiang came here for a sect mission, and you don’t even let him enter the door, ” Zheng Shijiu said in a low voice. His fan was already closed.
“You are right, of course. Since it’s a sect mission, you can call in the person who assigned the mission. If they say there’s no need for an assessment, then we will naturally listen,” the middle-aged man said politely.
“Are you from overseas, fellow disciple?” Jiang Hao asked calmly.
“Indeed, but we are cooperating with the Heavenly Note Sect. If it’s really guaranteed by the Heavenly Note Sect, we will also comply. Would you like to go ahead with the assessment or go fetch the person who assigned the mission to confirm this?” the man asked kindly.
Jiang Hao looked at the man and suddenly looked surprised at someone behind him. “Heavenly King Bu Dong?”
The middle-aged man was startled and instinctively turned.
Clang!
The Half-Moon Blade was unsheathed.
At the sound, the middle-aged man knew he had been deceived.
While defending, he began to retreat.
Bam!
The hilt hit his forehead heavily and sent him flying. But this gave him the time he needed.
His defense was fully activated, and his treasures were revealed. A surging power was unleashed.
But before he could even see the opponent, moonlight clouded his vision.
“Moon-Slaying.”
At this moment, he saw a figure appear in front of him, followed by a sweeping blade.
Bam!
The blade met the defenses. It swept through everything. His defense shattered and his treasure broke.
The blade cut across his neck.
In an instant, the middle-aged man felt his vision blur and spin.
A sense of unexplained fear overpowered everything.
But before he could fully understand the situation, his consciousness was fading.
It was too late for any regrets.
Jiang Hao stood in front of the corpse. He was silent for a moment. Then, he used a basic lightning technique to ensure that the person was dead.
He didn’t see a storage treasure, and even if he did, he couldn’t pick it up in front of everyone.
Looting was different from killing.
No one had expected the situation to escalate this quickly.
Zheng Shijiu reacted very quickly and exerted his strength to face the two people in front to prevent them from fighting.
Xin Yuyue’s sword was unsheathed, and Yue You held the giant sword behind her.
At this point, regardless of what happened, they had to face it head-on.
Jiang Hao turned to the two Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators and asked calmly, “Have we passed the assessment?”
His blade emitted a faint light.
It seemed the blade was already at the necks of the two people, and if they said the wrong thing, it would strike down.
The woman and the bald man panicked. Their hearts raced.
Finally, the two of them lowered their heads and bowed respectfully. “Of course, fellow disciple.”
Only then did Jiang Hao retract his sword and walk inside.
This time, no one dared to stop him. The previous guards were also fearful.
It wasn’t until Jiang Hao went in that the two Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators breathed a sigh of relief.
They hadn’t expected the newcomer to be so ruthless.
He had even killed the strongest person among them with one strike!
At this time, Ah Zha was resting. It was not surprising at all.
After all, besides that woman, only this person looked it straight in the eyes.
That woman was a bad person, and this young man wasn’t a good person either.
Jiang Hao walked into the main gate and found that there were quite a few people inside.
There weren’t many places to stay. It was mostly open spaces.
And there were many broken stones on the open ground.
Jiang Hao felt that this place was familiar.
“Is this a mine?”
Zheng Shijiu looked around. “I think you are right, Junior Brother Jiang. There really is a mine here! It is no wonder they wouldn’t let us in.”
The mine was discovered by the people here, so they could secretly keep a portion of the gains for themselves.
Originally, the three Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators had been in charge here. They might be getting a considerable portion of the shares.
Now that a new manager had suddenly come, it meant a huge loss for them, so they were naturally unwilling to give in.
At that point, the two Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators rushed over to explain.
They discovered the mine here accidentally, so they kept half of the gains and left the other half here. If it was discovered, they would submit the half they had saved.
As they spoke, they showed them the ores they had collected.
Jiang Hao looked at it and realized they had kept at least 80% of the total gain.
“Show me the mine.”
Jiang Hao looked inside and observed. He found that the mine here was relatively average in size.
Of course, he would still dig here.
He wouldn’t let go of such an opportunity. But he recalled Heavenly Stele Mountain.
“Are there any stone tablets or something similar here?”
“No,” said the woman, Xiao Xiaohui.
“What a pity…” Jiang Hao walked to the outside of the mine and dusted the wall.
He remembered very clearly that just wiping away the dirt from stone tablets produced bubbles.
Later, after wiping the treasures many times, only the Primordial heavenly Blade had given him a bubble.
But it was just white bubbles.
Suddenly, a white bubble fell before his eyes.
[Strength +1]
Jiang Hao was stunned. ‘Huh? What’s going on here? Why would wiping the wall produce bubbles?’
Perplexed, he continued to wipe the wall.
[Spirit +1]
[Spirit Sword +1]
The more Jiang Hao wiped, the more surprised he became. This wall was strange.
Normally, walls would never produce bubbles, let alone so many.
Although there were no blue bubbles, this was just the beginning. There would definitely be more bubbles to come.
Jiang Hao stopped wiping and then turned to Zheng Shijiu. “Senior Brother Zheng, I’ll leave everything here to you while I examine this place..”
