The following three days were peaceful. Apart from coming to condolence Qin Yun once, the Black Dragon City Lord did not disturb Qin Yun again.

Naturally, Qin Yun would not take the initiative to look for the Black Dragon City Lord. After all, he had already seen through the Black Dragon City Lord’s thoughts.

However, on the fourth day, the City Lord of Black Dragon City came to inform Qin Yun that he was going to a place called the Ancient Mining Area.

According to what Qin Yun had previously discussed, he and Zhao Ling accompanied the Black Dragon City’s City Lord to the ancient mining area to compete for the Black Gold ore vein. They acted according to the situation and left Zhao Yun, the Black Tortoise Divine Beast, the Netherworld Emperor, Zhao Hongxue, and Big Yellow in Black Dragon City.

The reason why he did this was because Qin Yun was afraid that he would bring them along. When the time came, the battle would be chaotic and accidents would occur easily. On the contrary, it would be safest to leave them in Black Dragon City.

After all, the experts of Black Dragon City had already left the city. Moreover, Big Yellow, a Heavenly God Realm expert, was present. There shouldn’t be any problems.

As for Qin Yun, that was needless to say.

Zhao Ling was originally a peak Earth God Realm expert, but now, with the help of the Nine Revolutions Heavenly Spirit Ganoderma, she had completely recovered to her peak state, and there were even faint signs of a breakthrough.

Right now, her strength was even stronger than an ordinary peak Earthly God Realm expert. If the opportunity came, she might even be able to break through to the Heavenly God Realm. Therefore, her strength was completely above her brother Zhao Yuan’s.

And Qin Yun’s strength had already reached the peak of the Earth God Realm. How could he become a space controller? There were practically no enemies amongst the Earth Gods. Even though he was still no match for an early Heavenly God Realm expert, he could still escape. Therefore, their arrangement was the most reasonable.

…

At the entrance of the inner city of Black Dragon City, Qin Yun and Zhao Ling slowly walked out of the inner city.

The Black Dragon City Lord had already been waiting at the city gate for a long time. Apart from the Black Dragon City Lord’s accident, there were also five people behind him. Four of them were the four eight-star warriors that Qin Yun had seen earlier.

The other was a cold and stern man that Qin Yun had never seen before. This person’s cultivation was also eight stars.

The arrogant youth named Meng Tie’s eyes flashed with killing intent when he saw Qin Yun walking towards them. His gaze towards Zhao Ling still carried a strong desire for possession.

Qin Yun naturally looked at Meng Tie’s eyes, but his face revealed a look of disdain. This disdain was faked by 70% and true by 30%.

He wanted to create a situation where he didn’t see through Meng Tie and the others’ true strength, so the higher his eyes were, the more Meng Tie and the others felt that Qin Yun had fallen into their trap.

“Eh, Brother Qin, why are you two alone? Where are the other four?” Seeing that only Qin Yun and Zhao Ling had come, the Black Dragon City’s City Lord asked in surprise.

“They’re still not used to the gravity here, so I didn’t let them come. However, with the help of my wife and I, we can also help you seize the Black Gold Ore Vein.” Qin Yun replied with a faint arrogance in his tone.

The City Lord of Black Dragon City frowned slightly. However, when he thought of the five eight-star warriors on their side, plus Qin Yun and Zhao Ling, there were a total of seven of them. As a result, they still had the most eight-star warriors on their side.

With this thought, the Black Dragon City’s City Lord was relieved. He nodded and said, “Of course. I’ll have to trouble Brother Qin this time.”

“It’s just a matter of getting what you need.” Qin Yun chuckled and said, as if he did not put the Black Dragon City Lord in his eyes at all.

The Black Dragon City Lord smiled embarrassedly, but a cold light flashed in the depths of his eyes.

However, this trace of cold light flashed and disappeared, not even Qin Yun noticed it.

“Let’s go. We’re heading to the Ancient Mining Area right now.” Black Dragon City’s City Lord said.

Qin Yun also nodded, indicating that he could.

As a result, the Black Dragon City’s City Lord and the others rushed out of the city. Qin Yun and Zhao Ling followed behind them unhurriedly, maintaining a distance of ten zhang from them.

“Husband, this Black Dragon City’s City Lord is obviously harboring malicious intentions. Looks like we need to be more careful.” Zhao Ling said to Qin Yun via voice transmission.

“Indeed, the Black Dragon City Lord has been using us from the beginning. In the end, he will definitely not let us leave. If we really help him seize the Black Gold Ore Vein, he will definitely unload the millstone and kill the donkey.” Qin Yun replied via voice transmission.

“Then what should we do?” Zhao Ling hurriedly asked through voice transmission.

“We can only take one step at a time. But don’t worry, even if he wants to deal with us, I still have a way to escape with you. I definitely won’t let you get hurt.” Qin Yun sent mentally and smiled at Zhao Ling at the same time.

Zhao Ling smiled happily and continued to ask, “Isn’t it safe for my brother and the others to stay in the city?”

“Don’t worry about that. I’ve already thought about it. If we really can’t kill the Black Dragon City Lord, I will immediately send a voice transmission to Big Yellow and ask him to leave with your brother and the others. He will definitely be able to leave Black Dragon City before the Black Dragon City Lord returns.” Qin Yun said with a smile.

Zhao Ling nodded. Qin Yun’s arrangement was indeed the best method at present.

Big Yellow had said before that the strength of this Black Dragon City’s City Lord could not be underestimated. If they wanted to kill him, they could not fight head-on. They could only look for a suitable opportunity. Of course, if the other two cities trusted them, it was not impossible to join hands with them. Therefore, they could only act according to the situation now.

Just as Qin Yun and Zhao Ling were discussing how to deal with the City Lord of Black Dragon City, the few people in front of them were also discussing intensely.

“City Lord, that brat really thought that our strength wasn’t enough. His expression just now simply didn’t put us in his eyes. He was so arrogant that he thought he was invincible.” Meng Tie sneered and sent mentally.

The Black Dragon City’s City Lord revealed a contemptuous smile. Obviously, he was secretly mocking Qin Yun’s ignorance.

“City Lord, this brat is so arrogant. Will he ruin our good fortune?” A white-bearded old man couldn’t help but ask.

He was the last of the three people who had opposed the Black Dragon City Lord’s lending of the divine decree. He had a somewhat thieving look on his face, and it was obvious that he was not a good person.

“Don’t worry, the more arrogant he is, the better. He will definitely be the first to charge ahead later. At that time, it will save us a lot of effort.” Another stern young man who had been silent all this time said.

“Hmph, he crippled me. I will let him take revenge sooner or later. When the time comes, I will let him see how his woman struggles in front of me.” Meng Tie sneered.

When everyone heard this, they all revealed lascivious expressions. The corner of the Black Dragon City Lord’s mouth curled into a cold smile.

Only the middle-aged man, who had been silent, frowned slightly. He faintly felt that his companion’s actions were inappropriate.

However, he did not say anything. After all, he did not have any right to say anything, and no one would listen to him even if he did.
