The Supreme God of Martial Arts

Since he was inside the mine too, he had witnessed the sealed creatures firsthand; the body parts of the demonic monkey, for

instance.

After giving it careful thought, one of the elders decided what they would do next.

"When the black mist dissipates, let's go inside that mine," an elder proposed.

The two elders agreed to the plan. They all patiently waited for the mist to dissipate. After four hours, the black mist coming from

the mine had completely vanished.

The three elders of the Rudimentary Holy Land prepared to go down the mine. When they were about to enter the hole, loud growls

echoed in the sky. They halted because of that familiar sound.

Moments later, they spotted a group of beast riders that were headed towards them. The roars of the beast continued to rattle the

sky.

Armored soldiers rode the monstrous beasts as they held golden spears in their hands.

"What are the people from the Vasteras Holy Land doing here?" one of the elders of the Rudimentary Holy Land asked with raised

eyebrows.

Those people were uninvited, and obviously they were up to no good. Now, they had to deal with these beast riders first. The

excitement that was once evident on the elders’ faces was immediately replaced with the gloom.

In just a blink, the horde landed in front of them. Two elders wearing golden robes took a few steps forward. As they walked, golden

lights glinted from them. They unleashed their spiritual senses to check out each of the mines. After a short while, one of the

elders in the golden robe laughed out loud.

"I knew it! Something is definitely going on with this place. Yuri, observe these mines and tellwhat's inside them," he ordered

to the man wearing a white robe.

"I got it, Elder Ivan," the man replied obediently as he took a step forward.

He closed his eyes and began examining the place. He was murmuring incoherent words as his fingers moved continuously.

"Elder Ivan, | saw a light that only comes from special crystals. | think there are a lot of special ruling crystal mines in here," he said

after a while.

"Special ruling crystal mines!" Elder Ivan echoed as his face lit up.

The elder was thrilled as if he just found his long lost treasure.

Upon hearing this, one of the elders from the Rudimentary Holy Land got angry. Their unwanted guests seemed to be interested in

their mines.

"Why did you bring your men here, Elder Ivan? We have been exploring this area for a while. | hope you can stay out of this and

leave right now," he said sternly as he took a step forward.

Conflicts among the holy lands or prominent clans often took place because of mines. Scenarios of land claiming and territorial

feuds happened from tto time.

Sometimes, small-scale fights broke out. It was almost expected since everybody wanted to get a taste of the riches from the

mines.

"Ha-ha! Elder Jordan, you are forgetful, aren't you?

Well, letremind you. We have cto an agreement that if any of us discovers a new mine, we need to fill in the people from

other sects about it immediately before starting the mining. That way, other sects are not allowed to meddle with that claimed

area.

Tell me, have you officially informed us of this place?

| bet you haven't even started digging yet. Or perhaps, you are not sure if there is any crystal under the ground.

How can you say that these are your mines? That is just so ridiculous!" Elder Ivan from the Vasteras Holy Land retorted loudly.

He had a smug look on his face as he finished speaking.

The elders from the Rudimentary Holy Land were speechless. They knew that Elder Ivan was right.

Elder Jordan snorted angrily in defeat. Everyone seemed tense as they glared at each other.

Just before another heated argument broke out, loud noises rumbled from the sky.

A dragon-shaped warship turned up above them. All of them knew whom the warship belonged to.

The people on board were from the Arcane Holy Land.

"Ha-ha! Hello, everyone! You must have smelled the wealth too. | did not expect to see both of you here," a white-haired old man

greeted. He got off the warship and floated mid-air.

Following suit, several middle-aged men and a few hundred disciples from the Arcane Holy Land got out of the ship and tailed

behind their elder.

"To be honest with all of you, we had spotted this place just a couple of months ago.

We didn't expect you to take action so quickly,"

the white-haired elder bellowed loudly.

"Elder Kit, let's cut to the chase.

We all spotted this mining site. No one can get this area alone," Elder Ivan from the Vasteras Holy Land responded in a stern tone.

He had a grim expression on his face upon seeing more people cand fight for the crystals.

All of a sudden, Elder Jordan from the Rudimentary Holy Land burst into laughter.

"Take your time. Why are you so eager to get this place? Maybe these mines are perilous mines. Who knows?" he chimed in.

"What did you mean by that, Elder Jordan?" Elder Ivan of the Vasteras Holy Land asked with a frown.

Curious to what Jordan had meant, he and Elder Kit from the Arcane Holy Land becalert.

As they spent years after years in the Northern Mine District, they had already becexperts about these mines. They knew

what these perilous mines could do.

Elder Jordan knew that he could no longer drive these people away from the mines. He was also aware that they could not occupy

this area alone.

Elder Jordan had no other choice but to tell them everything that happened in the mine.

"So something horrible is going on in this area. Perhaps these mines are those perilous mines," Elder Kit said as they finished

talking.

He and Elder Ivan exchanged looks that glinted with fear.
