Chapter 994: Evil Aura

Seeing that they were not catching up, Morris slowed down and shouted, "Don't worry, everyone, they don't seem to be catching up."

Li Huanxin looked panicked and ran wildly, shouting: "Don't stop, enter the mine first."

Hecheng Jade Mine was not very far away, and they quickly reached the entrance.

The entrance is camouflaged, making it difficult to spot even at close range.

Tu Ling took out a remote control and pressed the button. The ground cracked open, revealing a lifting platform.

The lift platform is large enough for eight people to stand on it without feeling crowded.

After everyone got on the lift platform, they looked back and saw the group of people who suddenly appeared standing outside the bungalow, looking over here and not moving.

Those people stared here for a while and then returned to the car. The eight Wranglers raised yellow dust in the sky and gradually moved away.

Seeing them leaving, Marceline dared to take a deep breath, glared at Li Huanxin, and said angrily: "Li Huanxin, didn't you just say that there was only one murderer? Why did so many people suddenly come?"

"I don't know why so many people came suddenly." Li Huanxin said with a depressed look, then turned to Tu Ling and said: "Mr. Tu, start the lift, let's go down and take a look."

Tu Ling looked at the retreating Wrangler convoy, was silent for a moment, and then pressed the button of the lifting platform.

The lifting platform slowly descended, and eight people entered the Hecheng Jade Mine.

The pit has not yet been mined, only a rough framework has been constructed to prevent collapse.

After entering the mine, Chen Yang clearly sensed that some of the surrounding stones contained spiritual energy, which meant that there was Hecheng Jade inside.

He observed that the reserves of Hecheng jade here were very rich. No wonder Tu Ling paid so much attention to it.

If it weren't for the difficulty in absorbing the spiritual energy in jade, Chen Yang might have bought the mine directly from Tu Ling.

Although jade contains spiritual energy, it has too many impurities and is not concentrated enough. Once it is leaked, it will become dilute immediately, making it difficult to absorb.

If the spiritual energy can be strong to a certain extent and pure enough, such jade will definitely be a good thing to assist in cultivation.

Unfortunately, even the top-quality glass Imperial Green that Chen Yang had previously prescribed, the aura content in it was far from pure and rich enough.

"Lingshi, maybe only the spirit stones recorded in the "Book of Immortals and Demons" have such strong spiritual energy."

Thinking of this, Chen Yang couldn't help but shook his head, thinking that there might not be spiritual stones on earth.

If there were, even people in Taoyuan would definitely want it.

After all, even the worst first-grade spiritual stones are still useful to those who are strong in the Dan Formation realm, let alone consecration and foundation-building cultivators.

After everyone got off the lift, Tu Ling took out a map, handed it to Li Huanxin, and said, "Mr. Li, this is the map of the mine. Where do you want to start investigating?"

Li Huanxin looked at the map in his hand, thought for a moment, and said: "We can't let go of every place here. Let's go, you follow me."

"Tu Ling, wait a minute." Chen Yang stopped Tu Ling, who was about to follow Li Huanxin, and said, "Where is the flower? I'll get the flower and then come back to you."

Li Huanxin said coldly: "Boy, I think you are scared and want to escape first."

Morris shook his head: "I knew this young man was unreliable."

Auro touched his plump chin and said nothing, but the mockery in his eyes was very obvious.

Tu Ling frowned, stepped forward and pulled Chen Yang aside, and said in a deep voice: "Is that flower really that important to you?"

"Yes." Chen Yang nodded.

Tu Ling was silent for a moment, with a look of expectation in his eyes. He hesitated to speak, and then said: "That flower will not disappear even if it is there. You will accompany me to investigate the mine first, and you will pass by that flower later." Where you are, you can pick the flower when the time comes."

Chen Yang saw panic in Tu Ling's eyes and asked, "Are you afraid?"

Tu Ling nodded and whispered: "With you by my side, I... feel more secure."

Hearing this, Chen Yang smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll accompany you."

"Thank you." Tu Ling said gratefully, with a relieved smile on his face, and said to everyone: "Let's go."

Seeing Chen Yang change his mind, Li Huanxin curled his lips: "Humph, it's better for a beautiful woman to take action."

The group of people followed the map and moved forward in the Hecheng Jade Mine in a circular manner.

Along the way, Li Huanxin was still checking for various clues.

Qingxu and Qingnian took out the compass again and looked at the rotating pointer on it, with solemn expressions on their faces from time to time.

"There's something weird in this mine."

Chen Yang secretly thought to himself that he found that in the Hecheng jade mine, not only did the Hecheng jade exude a faint aura, but there was also a looming sinister aura.

Those breaths were very weak, as if coming out of the ground.

"Cursed land, does it have something to do with what those people said? Is this place cursed?"

Chen Yang was thinking about it, feeling more and more suspicious about this place.

Others did not have such a high level of perception as him and did not detect the evil aura, but judging from the expressions of Qingxu and Qingnian, they seemed to have noticed some clues.

After walking through a narrow area, Tu Ling pointed to the corner ahead and said happily: "Chen Yang, the flower is right ahead."

Chen Yang's eyes lit up, he nodded, and quickened his pace.

He is determined to win the Nine-Aperture Purple Rose Flower. It is the only hope to save Sister Xing Zi Ning now.

"What flower? It's so mysterious." Li Huanxin muttered.

Matherine showed a curious expression on her face and asked Tu Ling: "Chen Yang came here just to pick flowers, right?"

Tu Ling thought for a while and replied: "He seems to have come here for that flower."

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but feel a little curious about the flower.

The front became empty and the space was very large.

Suddenly, a voice came from the front.

"What kind of flower is this? It seems that I have never seen it before, and it looks very strange."

"Look at the petals, it looks like a human heart, with a total of nine petals."

"Deacon Yang asked us to search for anything other than Hechengyu. Only this flower is special. Why don't we pick the flower for him?"

"Don't kill it. Dig it out with the roots. Maybe it can be raised after taking it back."

"You guys, dig out the flower with the soil and take it away!"

Hearing the voice, Chen Yang couldn't help but frown.

He came here for the Nine-orifice Purple Rose Flower, but now someone was planning to take it, which of course made him unhappy.

He turned the corner and walked over quickly.

In the open space ahead, there were seven people, five of whom were wearing camouflage uniforms, holding pickaxes and other tools, and walking towards the Nine-orifice Purple Rose Flower.

The other two, wearing gray gowns, looked pale and thin, and looked gloomy, watching from the side.

What Chen Yang didn't expect was that the realm of these two people was actually the early stage of the innate realm.

He suddenly realized that the death of those guarding the mine seemed to be more complicated than he had imagined.
