Chapter 1499: Chapter 1496: The Cause and the End!

Dongshuang City, having experienced the massacre by the Demolishing Mountain Demon Saint from the Valley of Demons, is now a pile of ruins.

And a year ago, after Lin Bai and others completed the task at Dongshuang City, the Zhu Family took over the reconstruction. Under the guise of rebuilding, they were actually secretly mining the Incorruptible Divine Iron Mine underground!

Incorruptible Divine Iron is the number one divine metal on the Lingnan Continent, extremely precious and difficult to mine!

After a year of mining, the Zhu Family has not managed to excavate even one-third of the Incorruptible Divine Iron Mine beneath Dongshuang City. Moreover, the Zhu Family has been mining stealthily, afraid to attract attention, which slows down the progress even more!

After more than a year of mining, the Zhu Family has extracted just over three hundred catties of Incorruptible Divine Iron, of which one hundred catties were taken by Zhu Lei to forge the Nether Sword, leaving the family with two hundred catties in stock!

Originally, the Zhu Family wanted to secretly sell it, but before they could take action, the news of Zhu Lei’s death came, delaying their plans!

At this moment, Dongshuang City, other than the warriors of the Zhu Family, basically has no other independent warriors around.

On the ruins of Dongshuang City, numerous patrolling warriors of the Zhu Family densely populate the area. They are mostly loyal and direct lineage of the Zhu Family; otherwise, Zhu Chang wouldn’t dare send them here to guard Dongshuang City!

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Above the sky, streaks of rainbow light shoot towards and appear over Dongshuang City.

More than seventy people stand side by side, looking down at the city ruins, their gazes sharply narrowing unwittingly recalling the massacre in Dongshuang City by the Valley of Demons a year ago!

"Senior Brother Dongfang, why have we come to Dongshuang City?" Nie Xiong asked, confused.

Lin Bai’s eyes turned cold as he looked downward at Dongshuang City, coldly saying, "Do you know why Dongshuang City was massacred by the Valley of Demons a year ago?"

"This..." Nie Xiong and Zhuo Lian were both speechless, still not understanding what exactly happened.

Why did the Valley of Demons suddenly massacre the city?

Lin Bai coldly said, "Because beneath this Dongshuang City, there lies a treasure!"

"What treasure?" Zhuo Lian curiously asked.

Lin Bai said, "The Incorruptible Divine Iron Mine!"

Hiss—

Hearing Lin Bai utter these words, the seventy-plus warriors around him gasped in shock!

"What!"

"There’s an Incorruptible Divine Iron Mine underneath Dongshuang City?"

"That’s impossible, wasn’t it said that Incorruptible Divine Iron had already gone extinct in Lingnan?"

The Seventy-two Swordsmen of Fairy Cave Mountain expressed their surprise.

Lin Bai indifferently said, "Initially, it was the Lin Family of Dongshuang City who first discovered the Incorruptible Divine Iron Mine beneath the city, but because the second son of the Lin Family let it slip, the Zhu Family of Zhu’s Fairy City found out."

"The Zhu Family came to discuss with the Lin Family, wanting to mine the Incorruptible Divine Iron Mine together!"

"But due to the Zhu Family’s greed being too much for the Lin Family to accept, they refused the Zhu Family!"

"Subsequently, the Zhu Family at all costs summoned the Demolishing Mountain Demon Saint, using tens of thousands of disciples from the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect as a bargaining chip, urging the Demolishing Mountain Demon Saint to bring tens of thousands of demon beasts to slaughter Dongshuang City!"

"After Dongshuang City fell, the Zhu Family could monopolize the Incorruptible Divine Iron Mine!"

"The Demolishing Mountain Demon Saint could also sell more than ten thousand outstanding disciples from the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect to the Hanhai Demon Kingdom!"

"This is the true story from a year ago!"

Lin Bai said calmly.

"The Zhu Family is really despicable! To think they had the Valley of Demons massacre Dongshuang City for the Incorruptible Divine Iron Mine! Those were hundreds of thousands of warriors!" Nie Xiong said bitterly, his face full of sadness and anger.

Lin Bai coldly stated, "This Incorruptible Divine Iron Mine, as of now, besides the Zhu Family, only we are aware of it. Remember not to casually divulge this information. Once we have mined the Incorruptible Divine Iron Mine, this will also be a great opportunity!"

"Consider this a little compensation for us."

Lin Bai said with a smile to the surrounding Sword Cultivators.

Zhuo Lian curiously asked, "Senior Brother Dongfang, do you know how much Incorruptible Divine Iron is under Dongshuang City?"

After thinking for a moment, Lin Bai said, "I heard from the second son of the Lin Family, Lin Rong, that there are at least ten thousand jin, but it seems like there might be even more!"

"Perhaps even more!"

Lin Bai said.

"Ten thousand jin? Maybe even more? My heavens!"

"Is this the pace to become rich overnight?"

The Seventy-two Swordsman of Fairy Cave Mountain eagerly talked among themselves.

Lin Bai chuckled lightly, "After we excavate the Incorruptible Divine Iron, I’ll go to the Seven Luminaries Starfall Mountain to invite a trustworthy Artifact Refiner to custom make a Treasure Sword for each of you!"

"Thank you, Senior Brother Dongfang!"

"Thank you, Senior Brother Dongfang!"

The Seventy-two Swordsman of Fairy Cave Mountain excitedly expressed their thanks.

Incorruptible Divine Iron, a rare Divine Metal used to forge the Five Swords of Gods, Demons, Monsters, Immortals, and Ghosts, is nearly extinct in the Lingnan Continent. It’s no exaggeration to say that the Incorruptible Divine Iron under Dongshuang City might be the last Divine Iron mine in the Lingnan Continent!

"Then let’s take action."

"Spare no Warrior in Dongshuang City, kill them all!"

Lin Bai said coldly.

Currently inside Dongshuang City, besides the Warriors of the Zhu Family, there are hardly any other Warriors.

"Alright!" The Seventy-two Swordsman of Fairy Cave Mountain roared loudly, and swiftly charged towards Dongshuang City.

Above the ruins of Dongshuang City, the Warriors of the Zhu Family had set up a defensive position!

At this moment, the Warriors inside these defensive positions looked up and saw streaks of light shooting down from the sky, suddenly they cried out in panic, "Who is it! This place is the Zhu Family’s territory, how dare you intrude, are you seeking death?"

The Warriors of the Zhu Family furiously shouted.

"Humph, Zhu Family? It’s hard to say if there will still be a Zhu Family in Lingnan four days from now!" Nie Xiong was the first to rush down, splitting open the Zhu Family’s defensive position with a sword, and charged into the crowd!

Following him, the Seventy-two Sword Cultivators of Fairy Cave Mountain ferociously killed every Zhu Family Warrior in their path in Dongshuang City!

Lin Bai landed on the ground and walked directly toward the depths of Dongshuang City, approaching the heavily guarded area by the Zhu Family Warriors, Lin Bai was certain that this was the location where the Zhu Family was mining the Incorruptible Divine Iron.

Inside the ruins of Dongshuang City, the Lin Family!

Lin Bai entered the ruins of the Lin Family mansion, more than ten Zhu Family Warriors rushed out in front, with a cold look in his eyes, Lin Bai didn’t even draw his Demonic Sword, he just raised his hand and a sword light instantly killed these Warriors right there!

Entering deeper into the Lin Family Mansion, Lin Bai saw a huge mountain cave leading underground.

Inside the mountain cave, bright lights illuminated the way ahead!

Lin Bai smiled slightly, and walked into the mountain cave, heading straight for the underground.

The further Lin Bai walked down, the more clearly he could hear the "ding ding dang dang" sound, as if someone was using a chisel to strike rigid rocks!

After navigating through this crowded underground passageway, suddenly a spacious underground plaza appeared in front of Lin Bai.

At this moment in the underground plaza, several Warriors were lifting hoes of Extreme Martial Spiritual Artifact grade, vigorously smashing them onto rocks, sparking flames...
