Fearing that people of Devil Blood Sect would investigate, Xiao Jingting and Xu Muan got into the jade pendant space and let Xiao Xiaodong find a secret place to bury the pendant.
It turns out that Xiao Jingting’s caution was necessary. Shortly after the incident, several Golden Core cultivators from Devil Blood Sect, despite their injuries, checked all the miners in the mining area. Xiao Jingting and Xu Muan escaped because they hid themselves in the jade pendant early, otherwise, with their disguise skill, they would never have been able to hide from these Golden Core cultivators.
Xiao Xiaodong felt a majestic spiritual force for several days in a row, which was sweeping back and forth in the mining area.
Since the check was fruitless, Xiao Xiaodong and others were released back into the mine.
“Elder martial brother Li?” Looking at Li Liang, Xiao Xiaodong showed a smile and said tentatively, “Recently, the Golden Core cultivators on the island seem to have gone crazy.”
Li Liang nodded and said, “It is said that Golden Core cultivators from Devil Blood Sect suffered a big loss so that they became a little crazy.”
Li Liang was very well informed. Xiao Xiaodong, hearing his words, asked, “Suffered a big loss? What do you mean?!”
“It’s said that several Golden Core spies snuck into the island and people from the Devil Blood Sect hid spirit stones in a warehouse, wanting to lure the spies out. But as a result, the spies remained indifferent and Devil Blood Sect people were forced to use top-quality spirit stones to lure them out. As a result, they lured some spies out, several of them at once.”
“The number of Golden Core cultivators sneaking into the island exceeded their expectation, so when the two sides fought, no one got an upper hand. Someone took advantage of the chaos and stole all spirit stones in the warehouse. Although there were no top-grade spirit stones in the warehouse, I heard that there were thousands of medium-grade spirit stones, and millions of lower-grade spirit stones. During this time, all the spirit stones we dug were put into this warehouse, so whoever stole them was really lucky.”
As Li Liang spoke, his eyes could not help but reveal some envious light.
“So many spirit stones! It’s really a large number!” Xiao Xiaofan said with an exclamation.
Li Liang nodded and said, “Yes! So many stones!”
Xiao Xiaodong rolled his eyes and thought: So many spirit stones, this time, father and daddy really earned a lot!

Green Cloud Immortal Sect.
Tang Yunjie inquired for news about Xiao Xiaodong and Lei Xuan, but unfortunately, there was never any progress.
Tang Yunjie, who came out of the mission hall with a downcast expression, happened to meet Dong Lin.
“Younger martial brother Tang, do you want to take the task?”
Tang Yunjie shook his head and spoke with a somewhat dark face. “No.”
“Elder martial brother Dong, elder martial brother Tang doesn’t have time to take on the task right now. I think that elder martial brother Tang wants to find the whereabouts of Senior Xiao and Senior Lei,” Wang Yun said with a smile.
Although Xiao Xiaofan and Lei Xuan were much younger than Wang Yun, those two had already advanced to Foundation Building and were Wang Yun’s seniors.
Tang Yunjie frowned and didn’t say anything.
“Don’t waste your efforts, elder martial brother Tang. I heard that many sects’ patriarchs are tracking down the whereabouts of the two seniors. Unfortunately, there has not been much progress, I heard that it is probably fatal.” Wang Yun said with a sigh.
Tang Yunjie stared at Wang Yun and said angrily, “Things are not clear. Can you stop spreading groundless rumors?”
Wang Yun said with some aggravation. “I’m not the only one who says so. Everyone is talking.”
Tang Yunjie looked at Wang Yun with some fierceness.
Wang Yun reluctantly hid behind Dong Lin.
Dong Lin stopped the furious Tang Yunjie and said, “Younger martial brother Tang, don’t take out on younger martial sister Wang. There is nothing wrong with what martial sister Wang said. What happened to senior Xiao is really regrettable, but what happened to Senior Lei is even more regrettable. This matter had nothing to do with Senior Lei, but he insisted to go there with Xiao Xiaofan.”
Tang Yunjie clenched his fist. Dong Lin’s words had implied meaning. He was actually accusing Xiao Xiaofan of dragging Lei Xuan down, despite the fact that Xiao Xiaofan used to treat Dong Lin as a good friend sincerely before.
Tang Yunjie did not bother to say anything else to Dong Lin and Wang Yun and left angrily.

“Elder martial brother Tang.” Ouyang JinyueJinyue opened her mouth and called out to Tang Yunjie.
Tang Yunjie glanced towards Ouyang Jinyue, and the gloomy expression on his face eased a bit. “Younger martial sister, it’s you!”
Ouyang Jinyue nodded and said, “Yes! Has there been any news?”
Tang Yunjie shook his head and said somewhat helplessly, “There’s no news for now.”
Ouyang Jinyue rubbed her forehead. When Xiao Xiaofan took that task, Xiao Xiaodong and Lei Xuan followed him. Now, she did not know what the situation was. “I heard that the originally missing Foundation Building cultivators have not been found.”
Tang Yunjie nodded and said, “Yes!”
“I heard that many Foundation Building cultivators have gone missing, and this is vaguely related to the Devil Blood Sect,” Tang Yunjie said.
Ouyang Jinyue said with worry, “The Devil Blood Sect is the number one sect in the demonic path and acts ruthlessly. If Xiaofan and the others really have fallen into the hands of Devil Blood Sect, their lives might be at risk!”
Tang Yunjie shook his head and said, “The matter is not confirmed yet, so there is no need for us to raise an alarm.”
“I heard that there was a golden core cultivator in Xiaofan’s group,” Ouyang Jinyue said.
Tang Yunjie nodded and said “Yes!” The sect thought that everything would be fine if they sent one Golden Core cultivator with them. As a result, something went wrong, and the sect should have sent two more Golden Core cultivators over.
“I heard something,” Tang Yunjie said.
“What is it?” Ouyang Jinyue asked.
“Chen Lifeng’s grandson is missing.” Tang Yunjie said.
Ouyang Jinyue couldn’t help being surprised. “Isn’t Chen Lifeng a Nascent Soul cultivator?”
Tang Yunjie nodded and said, “Yes! I wonder if it’s possible that the one who took Xiao Xiaofan and the others is the same person who took Chen Lifeng’s grandson.”
Ouyang Jinyue’s eyes widened as she said, “If it’s the same person, when Chen Lifeng finds it out, the culprit will have to eat their own bitter fruit.”
