Chapter 1263 Holy Wax Stone Mine, Haoyu, the Unlucky Guy
"Have we arrived at Si Huo City?"
"What's that up ahead? There's no sign of Sihuo City."
Why are they quarrying stones?
"..."
As soon as the view ahead opened up, Du Xianjian and Xiaoyao Pei, who had been chasing and playing around, stopped and immediately lay down on the edge of the flying boat to look down. Sui Xing also stood up abruptly to observe the situation.
They thought that the gray fog had dissipated and they must have reached their destination, Si Huo City.
Upon closer inspection, however, it was discovered that the area cleared by the gray fog did not contain any trace of a city. Instead, a huge mining area appeared, with piles of rubble forming mountains, and many human slaves and mechanical beasts were present.
The people below were busy working, and no one looked up at the sky.
Actually, looking at the sky was useless; Gu Xiu had carved a hidden array on the flying boat, making it virtually undetectable from a distance. However, just to be on the safe side, Gu Xiu put the flying boat away once they got closer.
Incidentally, the three spirits were also placed into the remnant world of mountains and rivers.
He then placed a spirit-attracting talisman and a breath-concealing talisman on himself and Shi Siling respectively before sneaking closer to the mine.
This area must belong to a huge mineral vein, and the ore being mined...
It is the sacred wax stone that is risked for the origin of the Holy Light.
Upon seeing that they were collecting this stuff, Sui Xing immediately started cursing: "Are they going to use all this holy wax stone as an attack weapon? Has the Southern Lord really become this shameless? Are they afraid the other cities won't be destroyed?"
Resources in the Three Enclosures Sea are scarce, but not nonexistent.
Some special mineral veins are even unique to the Three Enclosures Sea of Sin. The Yuan Coin, which is used in the Three Enclosures Sea of Sin, is also a type of ore that can be used to create divine cultivation materials. Therefore, mining is not uncommon in the Three Enclosures Sea of Sin.
But if it's made from sacred wax stone, then it's a different story.
This thing can only be used when you are close to the source of the Holy Light, and it can either extend the lifespan of the source of the Holy Light or cause it to rapidly shorten its lifespan. Because the risks are huge and it is difficult to distinguish, normally it is absolutely impossible to collect this thing with great effort.
Its sole purpose is to attack other cities, similar to how Pei Yanzhou, an eighth-level master of the Mohist school, used it to threaten the lord of Wuwei City.
These people mining are clearly from Sihuo City.
Sihuo City is one of the four cities under the Southern Lord, and it is considered to be one of the cities closest to Wuwei City.
The first thing that came to mind when thinking about Shattered Star was this function.
"Master, do you think that person is the same big idiot from before?" Just then, Xiaoyao Pei reminded Gu Xiu.
Gu Xiu looked in the direction it was pointing.
Hey.
The "big fool" it was referring to was none other than Pei Yanzhou, who was nicknamed "big fool" by the three spirits because he acted like a fool in Wuwei City.
I wonder when Pei Yanzhou came to Sihuo City. And judging from his appearance, he seems to be of high status. He was picking and choosing among a pile of sacred wax stones, accompanied by several generals in armor.
They are talking.
Gu Xiu moved closer and used his divine soul power to listen, and only then could he vaguely hear their conversation.
"Master Pei, what do you think of this batch of sacred wax stones? Are they up to standard?"
“Not quite right.” Pei Yanzhou picked and chose among the pile of sacred wax stones, tapping this one and looking at that one, his face showing some dissatisfaction: “These sacred wax stones do not meet my standards.”
A young soldier standing nearby said with some resentment, "But Master Pei, at our current pace, this sacred wax stone vein will be exhausted in five days. We've dug up the entire vein, and we still can't find even ten safe sacred wax stones?"
The others also looked at Pei Yanzhou with suspicion in their eyes.
I can tell.
They seemed to have been tormented enough; although they maintained a polite facade, their dissatisfaction was written all over their faces.
Pei Yanzhou wasn't blind, so he naturally saw their impatience, but he wasn't intimidated at all. Instead, he straightened his back and showed an expression that was even more impatient than theirs: "What do you mean? You want to doubt my abilities?"
"It's not that we want to doubt Master Pei's abilities, but with so many sacred wax stones, is it really true that you can't even gather ten pieces?"
"Yes, our army has been digging with you for so long, and we've even used up a lot of the sacred artifacts used to open up this large-scale gray fog area. Everyone is getting impatient."
"Si Huo City can't wait that long."
A group of young men spoke up one after another, though they were all full of impatience and doubt, none of them dared to get angry, lose their temper, or break off relations.
However, their gazes were somewhat unfriendly.
"General Tang!"
Pei Yanzhou frowned and looked at the middle-aged man in yellow robes who was leading the group of soldiers: "Are you really not going to do anything about your men?"
"They are just too worried about the situation in Sihuo City. In addition, the evil demons have been attacking from time to time, causing many deaths. So it is inevitable that they are in a bad mood. I hope Master Pei can understand."
General Tang spoke very politely and tactfully, but he showed no intention of punishing his subordinates.
This attitude infuriated Pei Yanzhou, who couldn't help but retort angrily, "General Tang, what do you mean by this? Are you taking your anger out on me because they're dissatisfied? Have you forgotten what your Si Huo City Lord instructed you to put me first in everything!"
Before General Tang could speak, someone beside him said sarcastically, "Lord Si Huo did give this order, but that only meant some people were useful. After spending so much time and making no progress at all, who knows if he's a fraud?"
"What do you mean? Are you saying I'm a liar?" Pei Yanzhou was furious.
The young man replied dismissively, "Whoever responds is the one I'm talking about. Master Pei, you're not really a fraud, are you?"
"you……!"
"Enough!" Before Pei Yanzhou could even unleash his fury, General Tang barked, "What are you all doing here? Have you forgotten your mission? Get out of here at once!"
"Yes, General!"
The group of young soldiers obeyed the order and turned to leave. The young soldier who had previously spoken disparagingly to Pei Yanzhou gave him a disdainful glare, which nearly made Pei Yanzhou lose his temper.
After everyone had left, Pei Yanzhou was still grinding his teeth, staring intently at General Tang: "It's long been rumored that General Tang is skilled at managing his subordinates, and now it seems that's really true."
This is a dig at General Tang.
General Tang seemed oblivious to the teasing, ignoring the jab and speaking earnestly:
“Master Pei, the Holy Light of Si Huo City can only hold on for ten more days at most. Originally, Si Huo City had planned to relocate the entire city to Yun Xiang, Hui Ju, and Chi Yan cities, but thanks to you, Master Pei, the relocation has been abandoned. We hope that General Pei can put some thought into the lives of the seventy million people in the city.”
Upon hearing this, Pei Yanzhou immediately lost interest in engaging in verbal sparring.
Feeling a little unsure of himself, he tried to remain calm but dared not say anything more. Instead, he obediently began picking through the pile of holy wax stones once more.
Gu Xiu noticed that the cold sweat on his back had soaked his clothes.
"Looks like this kid was lying?"
"He actually took credit for the Sacred Wax Stone in Wuwei City?"
Sui Xing immediately guessed the cause and effect.
Actually, this result is not surprising. Previously, the Lord of Wuwei City had specially released the news, attributing all the credit for the accurate opening of the Sacred Wax Stone to Pei Yanzhou. However, the Lord of Wuwei City originally intended to leave the Mo family's divine path speechless.
I never expected Pei Yanzhou to be so bold.
The city of Sihuo is even larger than Wuwei City, with a population of 80 million. Logically speaking, no one would dare to joke about the lives of 80 million people.
But now it seems...
"He's probably insane; that's eighty million people," Du Xianjian commented.
Xiaoyao Pei had the opposite view: "Isn't that perfect? Anyway, Sihuo City is Nan Jun's territory, and is the enemy of Wuwei City, which means it's the master's enemy. If they destroy themselves, that would be a good thing."
"But didn't Master want to unite with the Twelve Cities of Ziwei to fight against the evil demon? If so many people really die, then it will be the human race that suffers the loss."
"What loss is this? If Sihuo City is destroyed, the Mo family's divine path will definitely be finished. At that time, when the master subdues other cities, he can make some moves."
Is that so?
The two little ones are still very young and have weak intelligence, but they have different personalities.
Although the Immortal Crossing Sword is a sword of killing, it is straightforward and without much scheming, while the Carefree Pendant is full of twists and turns and has quite a few bad ideas.
Whether they were good ideas or bad ideas, their loyalty to Gu Xiu was beyond question.
Gu Xiu didn't say who was right or wrong between the two.
He simply went to an abandoned mine where sacred wax stones were discarded, picked up a large pile of sacred wax stones, and then set off again towards Sihuo City.
He plans to find time to study this sacred wax stone.
However, before that...
He was more interested in seeing who this unlucky fellow who had been captured by Si Huo City was.
After walking for another half a day, Gu Xiu finally saw the city of Si Huo in the distance.
Gu Xiu had initially thought it might be difficult to find the unlucky guy who had been captured, but to his surprise, before he even reached the city gate, he saw a guy tied to the city wall, looking like a red flag.
This is……
