Chapter 687.
Chapter 687 – Pulling Together
“The human race’s Ensemble Stage powers, should have received the news, so many cultivators missing is not a small matter, those powers will definitely send people to track down this matter.
Maybe after some more days, someone will come to rescue us.”
“I don’t think that it’s necessarily possible to wait for reinforcements.”
Hearing Xie Xun’s words, Xu Chuniang shook her head and voiced her thoughts.
“With so many Orcs around, this vein, most likely, is situated in the hinterland of the Orc race, far away from human territory.
Secondly, the person who took us captive used spatial aptitude, hardly leaving too many traces of his strike.”
Xie Ying’s face was unsightly, “What then, are we just waiting to die?”
Since her birth, she was the pride of the heavens, cultivating smoothly all the way to the Transformation God Stage.
After ascending to the Spirit Realm, Xie Ying originally thought that she would have the opportunity to make a big impact.
But how long has it been since she arrived in the Spirit Realm, she actually fell into the captivity of another race, living a life that was not even as good as that of a spirit pet, which was simply a great shame.
“Can’t be in a hurry, first feel out how many half-beast human races there are in this vein, and what the overall strength is, then unite with all the human cultivators, and rush out of the vein in one fell swoop.”
Xie Ying tugged at the iron ring on her hand, intense disgust flashing in her eyes.
“However, we have this on us, and those Orcs can make our lives worse than death just by moving their divine sense.
Even if we unite all the human cultivators and can’t solve this thing, it’s still useless.”
Xie Xie nodded and picked up the conversation.
“In addition to this iron ring, in the entire vein, there is also a sealing array, even if we break free of this iron ring, as long as the sealing array is there, we still can’t use the laws and aura.”
“If you want to get rid of this weird iron ring, it’s not without a solution. A rank six spirit fire can melt this iron ring.”
“You mean ……”
Xie Xie looked at her, his heartbeat couldn’t help but speed up, could it be that in her body, there was a sixth level spirit fire hidden?
Xu Chuniang didn’t deny it, it was something she hadn’t intended to hide.
With her strength alone, even if she broke free from the iron ring, she couldn’t escape.
The one who had taken them captive in the flying boat earlier was the Third Elder Beast Abyss in the Orc Clan.
However, the one who destroyed their Mustard Space and locked the odd iron ring on them might not be Beast Abyss.
As a late stage Harmonization powerhouse, it was impossible for Beast Abyss to waste his time on such trivial matters.
Nine times out of ten, the one who did these things was a half-beastman at the God Transformation stage.
The Meteoric Heart Flame had been melted and refined into her bones with the Five Elements Body Forging Method, and unless her bones were cracked open, a half-beastman at the God Transformation Stage would indeed not be able to detect its presence.
“I shouldn’t be the only one who possesses a rank six spirit flame or other cards.
It’s just that nowadays, the situation is stronger than others, and everyone is holding back, waiting for the right opportunity and not acting rashly.”
Xie Xun and Xie Ying both glanced at each other and exchanged glances before Xie Xun nodded.
“Not bad, although my sister’s and my sister’s mustard space was destroyed, we have a family heirloom that is still in our hands.”
Xie Ying added, “This supreme treasure is powerful, but if we want to catalyze it, we must first lift the iron ring on our bodies before destroying the sealing array.”
The three of them discussed for a while more, and decided to secretly contact the other ethnic cultivators first to build up their strength, and at the same time, feel out the strength of those Orcs.
When the time was right, they would break out in one fell swoop.
After the three agreed, they spread out unannounced, while mining the ore, while secretly contacting other ethnic cultivators.
On this day, Xu Chuniang finished handing over the spirit ore, and while walking in the mine path, she noticed a figure following behind her.
With a movement in her heart, she pretended to know nothing and continued walking towards the depths of the mining tunnel. It wasn’t until she was deeper into the mine and there were no more eyes of the half-beast human race around her that she turned around and looked at the old man behind her.
“Your Excellency has followed all the way here, what is the reason for this?”
The old man smiled faintly, swept his eyes at the Silver Star Grass in Xu Chuniang’s back basket, and took out a Spirit Fruit with abundant Spiritual Qi and handed it over.
“Little friend needn’t be nervous, as fellow fallen people, I have no ill intentions. This Silver Star Grass, which is something we human cultivators can eat!”
Xu Chuniang hesitated slightly and took the spirit fruit handed over by the old man, no matter what the other party’s intentions were, being of the same human race, there was no need to make enemies.
The smile on the old man’s face deepened, raising his hand to lay down a boundary.
Xu Chuniang’s face remained unchanged, but her heart rippled, her gaze falling between the old man’s wrist and ankle.
Strange thing, every strand of aura born within her body would be sucked away by this iron ring.
This old man was actually able to avoid the iron ring’s prohibition to use his aura, it was really not simple!
Seemingly knowing what she was thinking, the old man shook his head.
“The laws that I have comprehended happen to be the laws of prohibition, it’s just that the laws of prohibition on this iron ring were placed by a great power at the stage of mergence, and are far beyond my understanding.
I can only barely move a trace of aura, when it cannot be of great use.”
Xu Chuniang, however, did not belittle the old man because of this; the understanding of laws by a Conformity Stage powerhouse was far beyond that of Void Refining Stage and God Transformation Stage cultivators.
Under the iron ring’s confinement, being able to use aura was already not easy.
This old man, in all likelihood, was a Void Refining Stage cultivator.
Xu Chuniang collected her thoughts, “Senior didn’t find me just to say this to me, right?”
The old man nodded slightly, “I’ve heard that recently, there are a few minor cultivators that are secretly pulling in human cultivators, so I inquired about it and looked for them.”
“Could it be that senior, too, is interested in our plan?”
The elder shook his head slightly, “No, I’m only interested in you and the Xie siblings.”
Xu Chuniang frowned slightly, vaguely guessing something.
Sure enough, the old man’s next words confirmed her suspicions.
“I would like to invite the three of you, to join us.”
“Just the three of us, what about the others?”
The old man’s gaze landed on the iron ring on her wrist with intent.
“This is not a good thing to take, even if it’s a rank six spirit fire, it’s not something that can be melted in a moment. There are fewer people so as not to attract the attention of those Orcs.
The others want to join, they have to prove, first, that they have the value.”
Xu Chuniang instantly understood the old man’s meaning, it was just that the others were of the same human race, so would they just abandon them?
“It’s not that I’m abandoning them, it’s just that I had to come up with this plan, it’s unrealistic to want to leave with everyone.
Don’t forget, this vein is most likely located in the hinterland of the Half-Beast Human Race, once the commotion gets too loud and startles the other party’s Harmonization Stage powerhouses, no one will be able to escape.”
The old man let out a light sigh, his expression somewhat helpless.
“When we escape, we can go back to the Human Race to bring help and come back to rescue the others. There are still so many ore veins, those Orcs won’t want them dead.”
Hearing the old man’s words, Xu Chuniang remained silent for a long time.
She knew in her heart that his words were right.
With so many Orc overseers in the mines above, how could the human race organize a strong counterattack?
The only way to have a glimmer of hope was to concentrate the elite of the human race and wait for an opportunity to break out.
