Sun Bingcheng had been gone for a full half-hour without returning.

Yu Xian frowned, sensing that something seemed amiss.

Even Liu Xue couldn't sit still any longer. He suddenly stood up and said, "That bastard Sun Bingcheng wouldn't have gone to secretly dig up the Scorching Sun Essence Jade by himself, would he?"

Yu Xian's brow twitched, and he showed a serious expression.

It wasn't impossible!

After all, human nature is unpredictable.

If Sun Bingcheng wanted to keep this fortune for himself, he might have taken this time to go to the new mining mountain and look for the Scorching Sun Essence Jade that hadn't been excavated yet!

But... the Scorching Sun Essence Jade was just a lie he made up!

Even if Sun Bingcheng went looking, he wouldn't find anything.

"We should go check it out!"

Liu Xue looked anxious and quickly walked out of the dwelling.

Yu Xian frowned deeply as he walked out. This unexpected situation had completely disrupted his plans!

If it came to it, he might have to eliminate Liu Xue and Sun Bingcheng first, and then find a way to lure Huang Hanxiao!

But as soon as he stepped out of the dwelling, Yu Xian's furrowed brow relaxed.

He looked at the teleportation array in the distance and smiled.

After all, Sun Bingcheng didn't have the guts to go steal the Scorching Sun Essence Jade.

He had indeed gone to find Huang Hanxiao, but he had been delayed for a while. Now, he was back.

"Look, the chief steward is here!"

Yu Xian's expression quickly changed to one of excitement and enthusiasm as he ran towards the teleportation array.

Liu Xue showed a hint of disappointment but followed along.

Huang Hanxiao and Sun Bingcheng emerged from the teleportation array and immediately saw Yu Xian running towards them.

"Senior Brother Huang! You know about it, right? I found the Scorching Sun Essence Jade! I'm sure of it!"

Yu Xian approached Huang Hanxiao with a flattering expression and spoke quickly.

"You've got a good sense."

Huang Hanxiao looked at Yu Xian, his eyes flickering, and nodded slightly, saying, "What does the Scorching Sun Essence Jade look like? Its color? Tell me in detail."

The records of ores in the Hundred Mines Record were all vague.

Many differences in ores had to be distinguished with one's own eyes.

If Yu Xian had never seen the Scorching Sun Essence Jade and relied only on the records in the Hundred Mines Record, he would surely reveal a flaw.

Unfortunately, he had seen it and had even dug out a piece himself!

So he described the Scorching Sun Essence Jade in great detail, including its color, glow, and even size!

The more Huang Hanxiao listened, the more intense the heat in his eyes became!

This kid wasn't wrong!

He really had discovered a piece of Scorching Sun Essence Jade!

Looking at the kid's attitude, trying to please him, it was clear that he knew that if he offended him, he wouldn't have a good life in the future, and might even lose his life!

So, after discovering the Scorching Sun Essence Jade, he didn't dig it up to sell it but reported it to him, trying to gain his favor and even a promotion.

Hmph... a clever kid indeed!

But unfortunately... I must have the strange treasure on you!

And you must disappear!

Huang Hanxiao had been preparing for this for the past two days. In fact, even if Yu Xian hadn't come to him, he would have gone to find Yu Xian tomorrow or the day after to resolve the matter... completely!

"Hahaha! Good!"

Huang Hanxiao concealed the coldness deep in his eyes, showed a happy smile, and nodded, "You've done well! I like those who understand the rules! Yu Xian! After we retrieve the Scorching Sun Essence Jade, you will become the third steward of the Scorching Sun Mining Area!"

"Thank you, Senior Brother Huang!"

Yu Xian's face was full of joy, and he quickly bowed.

Meanwhile, Liu Xue and Sun Bingcheng's expressions were as if they had swallowed a fly, forcing a smile and saying, "Congratulations, Junior Brother Yu."

"Let's go! Lead us to the Scorching Sun Essence Jade!"

Huang Hanxiao waved his hand with a smile, signaling Yu Xian to lead the way.

"Alright!"

Yu Xian nodded happily and turned to head towards the new mining mountain, a hundred and thirty miles away.

Huang Hanxiao followed, his eyes flickering.

It was truly a double blessing!

Today, not only would he obtain the Scorching Sun Essence Jade, but he would also take this kid's... life!

He was certain that this kid had a strange treasure that could detect the Scorching Sun Essence Ore!

Thinking of this, Huang Hanxiao's heart burned with excitement, almost to the point of madness!

Huang Hanxiao didn't believe in luck. This kid could continuously dig up Scorching Sun Essence Stones from two abandoned mines, and now even the Scorching Sun Essence Jade!

The strange treasure on him must be a unique magical treasure that could detect ores!

Such a thing was extremely rare, said to be only in the hands of Golden Core elders, specifically used to detect great mines across the world, then sending sect disciples to excavate.

This Scorching Sun Mining Area was detected by an inner sect elder, who then established a teleportation array to transport disciples of the White Cloud Sect to mine.

Even if the strange treasure on this kid wasn't as terrifying as the inner sect elder's magical treasure, capable of detecting great mines across the world, it could still detect ores in a small range, making it an invaluable item!

If he had such a treasure, he would have an endless source of wealth.

Foundation Establishment would be just around the corner!

Liu Xue and Sun Bingcheng followed along. As long as they went, they could share a bit, and even a few dozen spirit stones would be a decent income, wouldn't it?

Yu Xian led the way ahead, neither too fast nor too slow, sometimes skipping along, looking very happy, completely unaware that he was already in danger.

Huang Hanxiao followed behind with a strange smile on his lips.

If it weren't for the Scorching Sun Essence Jade, Huang Hanxiao might have already made his move to kill Yu Xian ahead!

However, the mine cave was vast, and if he killed the kid now, without anyone to guide him, he wouldn't know how long it would take to find the Scorching Sun Essence Jade in the cave.

Let the kid live a few more incense sticks...

About half an hour later, the new mining mountain appeared before them.

Yu Xian arrived at the entrance of the mine cave, turned around, and smiled, "Senior Brother Huang, fellow senior brothers, the mine paths inside are winding and maze-like, so you must follow me closely, or you might get lost!"

With that, he stepped inside.

Huang Hanxiao looked at the wide mine cave, hesitated slightly, and then walked in.

As he expected, what could a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy do, even if he had some skills?

Liu Xue and Sun Bingcheng naturally followed behind Huang Hanxiao without much thought.

They still believed that after this, Yu Xian would become a favorite in Huang Hanxiao's eyes.

Sunlight could only reach a few meters into the mine cave.

Beyond that was darkness.

However, the eyesight of cultivators was ten times sharper than that of ordinary people, and a little darkness couldn't block their vision.

So as soon as Huang Hanxiao entered the mine cave, he saw Yu Xian in the distance, who had already turned around, expressionless, raising his hand towards him!

A life-and-death crisis, like the collapse of heaven and earth, swept over Huang Hanxiao in an instant!

In Yu Xian's hand, a wave-like energy slash roared towards him, accompanied by a heart-stopping sky-splitting roar!

A spell technique from a Golden Core early-stage expert, the Sky-Splitting Technique!

"Ah! Damn beast!?"

Huang Hanxiao's pupils contracted to the extreme!

He shouted in his heart, and the talismanic treasure hanging on his chest, which seemed like a pendant, also erupted!

He was much more cautious than Zhao Mulin.

The talismanic treasure hanging on his chest was a defensive spell cast by a Golden Core early-stage expert, bought with years of savings, and he wouldn't use it lightly.

But now, that Sky-Splitting Technique hadn't even reached him, and its momentum was already piercing his body with pain. Such power was beyond what he could withstand!

Therefore, without thinking, he activated the defensive talismanic treasure on his chest!

A golden shield instantly enveloped him!

Boom!!

A spell technique from a Golden Core early-stage expert had already exceeded Yu Xian's current imagination.

With just one roar, the entire mining mountain shook!

The massive shockwave cracked and spread through the mine cave for hundreds of meters, threatening to collapse at any moment!

Liu Xue and Sun Bingcheng, being very close to Huang Hanxiao, were immediately shaken, vomiting blood and flying out of the mine cave, their fates unknown.

As for Huang Hanxiao, he took the full brunt of the Sky-Splitting Technique, and the golden shield shattered with a loud crash!

Even among Golden Core early-stage experts, there were differences in strength!

Clearly, Quan Dao was considered a strong expert in the Golden Core early-stage!

As for Huang Hanxiao's defensive talismanic treasure spell, although it was also Golden Core early-stage, it was only considered average within that realm!

So Huang Hanxiao's shield only blocked eighty to ninety percent of the force before shattering, and he spat out a mouthful of blood, flying backward!

The shockwave also swept towards Yu Xian, shattering the Earth Shield Technique he had cast and forcing him to take several steps back, his face pale.

But Yu Xian gritted his teeth against the discomfort in his body, his eyes flashing with cold light, and with a single hand gesture, the talismanic treasure of a late Foundation Establishment expert, the Golden Light Slash, fell into his palm!

Although he had launched a sudden attack, Huang Hanxiao's reaction was quick, and he also had a talismanic treasure of the same level to defend himself!

Therefore, he was definitely not dead at this moment.

Kill quickly! Kill quickly!

Otherwise, if he escaped, there would be no place for him in the White Cloud Sect in the future!

With the Wind Movement Technique's incantation enhancing him, Yu Xian rushed out of the rolling dust in the mine cave and immediately saw Liu Xue and Sun Bingcheng lying unconscious on the ground.

But Huang Hanxiao was nowhere to be seen!

"Damn it!"

Yu Xian muttered under his breath, drew a second-tier treasure sword, and pierced the hearts of Liu Xue and Sun Bingcheng with one strike each, then followed the trail in pursuit of Huang Hanxiao!

After all, he had been a hunter for several years, and he had learned all the experience from the old hunters in the village!

Huang Hanxiao was now severely injured, fleeing all the way, and although he was extremely cautious, the trail was still obvious!

He couldn't escape!

Yu Xian's eyes were cold, as if he were truly hunting a wounded beast!
