Xi Huaizhu looked at her in confusion and continued, "What was exposed along with the spirit vein was a group of half-demons who were responsible for mining it."

"Half-demon?"

Chao Zhao felt a little emotional.

"Yes." Xi Huaizhu nodded. "Although those half-demons claimed that the spirit vein had an owner, they could not produce a spirit contract, nor could they say who the owner of the spirit vein was."

"This matter spread to the Deathly City, and soon attracted many people who coveted the spirit veins to come."

The reason why Nanyouzhou has become a remote and poor place.

Not only because the living environment here is harsh, but also because the spiritual energy here is thin and there is no sign of any spiritual veins.

How could any monk be willing to set foot in such a place?

But now it's different.

A complete spiritual vein with unlimited development potential is right before our eyes. Whoever occupies this spiritual vein will have the opportunity to soar into the sky and change the status quo.

Zhao Zhao asked him: "Don't you want it?"

"Yes I do."

Xi Huaizhu's smile deepened, and his gaze fell on her neither lightly nor heavily, "But this is not what I want most."

"sharp."

Chao Zhao gave him a thumbs up.

She was tempted by the hundreds of millions of spirit stones, but it was amazing that this casual cultivator could remain so calm.

"If you have such a mentality, why don't you join the sect?"

Even though we don't know what Xi Huaizhu's qualifications are, his calm and relaxed attitude is enough to prove that his comprehension is not low.

"I don't like restraints."

Xi Huaizhu simply explained it lightly and then looked away downwards.

Although they are both in the Nascent Soul stage, Liu Sandao's strength far exceeds that of the person who provoked him.

In just a moment, the man was defeated by Liu Sandao.

"Humph!"

Liu Sandao put the big knife on the man's neck and was about to attack when a sudden earthquake occurred.

'Om—'

It was like the earth shaking, wave after wave, the earth was surging like a tide, showing very obvious fluctuations.

"Be careful."

Chao Zhao grabbed Xi Huaizhu who almost fell down and pulled him up easily, "Why do you like watching the show more than me?"

"Thank you, Chao Zhao."

Xi Huaizhu's eyes were gentle, filled with inexplicable emotions.

“Another earthquake.”

Chao Zhao waved his hand indifferently and looked at the chaotic and turbulent crowd below.

She suddenly remembered that she seemed to have experienced an earthquake outside the Dead City before... Could it be that the spiritual vein was shaken out during that time?

So this time, could it be that——

Just as the quarrel below was about to break out into a melee, suddenly someone rushed in from outside the city and shouted: "Another spirit vein has appeared!!!"

In an instant, the crowd rushed out of the city like a tide.

"Let's go and join in the fun."

Chao Zhao stood up, forgetting that she was still holding Xi Huaizhu, and was pulled up by her as well.

"...Forget it, I'll give you a ride."

Thinking of the eye-catching wall-climbing he had just done, Chao Zhao's mouth twitched and he summoned out Rags.

"Come up."

She pulled Xi Huaizhu up directly, fearing that she would miss the fresh melon if she was a second late.

The rag shook and almost threw Chao Zhao and Xi Huaizhu down with him.

Chao Zhao yelled: "Why are you so angry?"

[Sir, I don’t want to give him a ride!!!]

Rag groaned.

He always felt that this casual cultivator had bad intentions! The aura on him made him feel particularly uncomfortable.

[Just treat him as a bamboo.]

[......snort!]

In the end, due to Chao Zhao's increasingly dangerous mood, Ragnarok rushed out.

......

The place where the ownerless spiritual vein was discovered was thirty miles away from the outskirts of Dead City.

The Rags were moving very fast, and even though they were delayed for a while, they still arrived earlier than most of the monks.

As soon as she got close, she felt the rich and pure spiritual energy.

The spiritual vein seemed to have been covered by a barrier before, but with the earthquake, a corner of the barrier was torn, exposing the existence of the spiritual vein.

Just as Xi Huaizhu said, a group of half-demons were guarding the gap. They seemed to have been isolated from the world for a long time. Their clothes were very simple and their eyes were very pure.

The difference is that the half-demon in the lead actually possesses the strength of a Nascent Soul.

Half-demons suffer from the torture of two bloodlines, and it is already difficult for them to practice. What’s more, half-demons are now hated and bullied by everyone.

Being able to cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage...this group of half-demons are not simple.

But the looks in their eyes didn't show that they were members of the Fallen Demon Alliance.

"Chao Zhao, come quickly."

Chao Zhao just thought about it for a while, and when he turned around, he found that Xi Huaizhu had already climbed up the tree.

The man in green shirt was hanging on the branch, and his round, white hands were stretched out towards her.

"........."

Taking a deep breath, Chao Zhao also climbed up in despair.

The tree trunk was thick and its branches and leaves were dense, not only accommodating them but also concealing their existence.

"...Are these all desperadoes?"

Chao Zhao looked at the group of people who arrived one after another and asked.

“Only a few.”

Xi Huaizhu smiled and shook his head, "Most of them are casual cultivators who want to try their luck."

Most of the desperate criminals have many enemies, so how could they possibly appear in front of everyone in a high-profile manner? Even if they want to, they will disguise themselves.

After hearing Xi Huaizhu's last words, Chao Zhao glanced at him and said, "You are also a casual cultivator."

Xi Huaizhu shrugged his shoulders and said in a relaxed tone: "But I am not here to gamble with my luck. I have always been clear about my luck."

"Do not believe."

Chao Zhao suddenly opened his mouth to refute him, "You are not a person who believes in fate."

Xi Huaizhu was stunned.

"...We've only known each other for a quarter of an hour, and you know me so well?"

"Don't tell you."

Chao Zhao snorted lightly, turned his head away and ignored him.

Xi Huaizhu couldn't help but laugh when he saw her acting so righteous.

While the two were talking, the crowd below was already preparing to rob.

"Brothers, how about we take down these half-demons first and then talk about the distribution?"

Liu Sandao's words were recognized by most people present.

"can!"

"These half-demons refuse to give in, and it's no use continuing to waste time like this."

"I don't know where this half-demon came from..."

Listening to them unscrupulously discussing how to divide the spiritual vein, the half-demons guarding the entrance were all filled with indignation.

The leading half-demon thrust his sword into the ground, his calm and simple face revealing his determination not to back down.

"This spiritual vein has an owner."

"...It's the same sentence again. Can you say something new?"

"Then why don't you take out the spiritual contract or call your master out!"

Faced with everyone's aggressive questioning, the half-demon was still willing to repeat only one sentence.

"This spiritual vein has an owner."

"I can't stand it!" A sword cultivator suddenly rushed out from the crowd, "Stop dithering!"
