Super Rich Fantasy: I Grow Stronger By Spending Money - Chapter 263
263 Dig as Long as It Won’t Kill You
Looking at their listless and despairing expressions, one could tell how bad their days there were.
Ye Xuan looked at the dark circles under their eyes and couldn’t help but ask, “How many days have they not slept?”
“There’s no such thing as sleeping. These people have high cultivation. Even if we’ve sealed them, it’s fine if they don’t sleep for a few days and nights and just mine here.”
Qian Yuan’s golden eyes flashed with the cruelty and bloodlust of a demonic beast. But when facing Ye Xuan, those auras faded away.
It was no wonder that Qian Yuan only captured those with high cultivation and released those with low cultivation. So, this was why he did that.
!!
Even if the bodies of cultivators were strong and much better than that of ordinary people, they couldn’t withstand such high-intensity work. The double torture of the mind and the body was far more effective than punishing them directly. It could be said that they were better off dead.
Ye Xuan expressed that he could understand Qian Yuan’s choice.
If he hadn’t asked Qian Yuan to spare their lives, their audacious actions would have killed them countless times.
Not to mention that these people were still dreaming big, trying to tame Qian Yuan for their use. That was simply a great insult. Now that Qian Yuan could be said to be the last member of the dragon clan, it would be a matter of minutes before he took their lives.
“They’ve received enough punishment. I’m sure they’ll stay far away from the mine vein for the rest of their lives. I’ve come here to take them away.”
Qian Yuan nodded. “If you want to take them away, then take them away. There’s no use for them to stay here. However, if the Jingdu sends more people over, I won’t tolerate the next time.”
“Don’t worry. They won’t dare to send more people over. I don’t think they have the guts to do so.”
Unable to resist Qian Yuan’s warm invitation, Ye Xuan lifted his glass and drank with him for a few more rounds. It was only when the sun went down that he got up and prepared to leave.
The cultivators who were previously enslaved and mining heard a rapid whistle.
The great demon guarding the spiritual mine stared at those humans for a long time to prevent them from escaping. It almost made the humans feel uncomfortable. He sneered, “You guys are lucky this time.”
Everyone’s numb faces were expressionless, not knowing what he meant.
“Alright, you guys can leave now.”
Everyone was dumbfounded upon hearing his words. They could not believe what they had just heard.
It wasn’t that no one had thought of escaping. After all, they couldn’t mine here forever. When the people in Jingdu received the news, they would send someone to rescue them.
However, their spiritual power was sealed, and they couldn’t use any spells. There were also so many giant demons guarding the surroundings. It was easier said than done to escape. It was simply a fantasy.
Demonic beasts were extremely sensitive to the aura of humans. A few people dared to run away, but they were quickly caught before they could run three meters away. They received double the punishment and even implicated the people around them.
As time passed, these people no longer dared to run. They only hoped that the people in Jingdu would quickly send someone to rescue them.
Hearing the demonic beast’s words, they thought it was some conspiracy. Someone carefully asked, “Can we really leave?”
“Actually, you guys weren’t supposed to leave. You were supposed to mine here for the rest of your lives. But you guys were lucky. Someone came to look for you!”
“Who’s here for us?”
The giant demon rolled its eyes. “You’ll know when you get out.”
The giant demon seemed to be extremely unwilling and was still cursing. The rest of the people almost cried in joy. They could really leave!
These days of mining day and night, and even being enslaved by such a demonic beast, was simply a great humiliation to them. It was to the point that they had almost forgotten their once noble status.
Now that they were about to end this kind of life, they felt like they were in an unrealistic dream.
The demonic beast’s cold voice sounded like a nightmare, “What? Are you guys not willing to leave? Have you grown feelings for this mine?”
It was as if these people’s butts were on fire. They rushed out in a hurry, afraid they would be left behind if they were half a step late. It was enough to show the trauma they had because of the mine.
“It must be someone from our Dao Seeking Sect. I knew the sect leader and the others wouldn’t just sit back and do nothing.”
“Maybe it’s a force from our Misty Illusory Manor. There are still a few grand elders who haven’t left the mountain. It’s definitely their doing.”
“In short, no matter what, it’s good that someone came to save us.”
They saw a cultivated figure standing with his hands behind his back. He came against the light as if he had gathered everyone’s hope. The bright sunlight cast a shadow behind him, revealing the exquisite curve of his side profile.
As if he heard the movement behind him, Ye Xuan turned around and smiled. “Long time no see.” After he finished speaking, he observed the crowd.
However, when those people saw his face clearly, their brains went into a state of shock. Compared to the bright and gorgeous Ye Xuan, they looked like refugees.
Initially, everyone was in the same situation, and no one could laugh at each other. Ye Xuan’s appearance broke this calm state. Looking at his clean clothes, these people felt a sense of shame.
They had thought of many possibilities. They even thought about which of the seven great sects had come to save them. Or perhaps, these few people teamed up to save him.
However, they had never thought of this one possibility. It was beyond everyone’s expectations.
“Why is it you?” Everyone asked at once.
The person who came to save them was Ye Xuan.
Ye Xuan smiled faintly and enjoyed the surprised look on their faces. Then he said slowly, “Why can’t it be me? I was released by your sect master and came upon his request to save your lives.”
