Immortal Path Space

Wang Hong walked around the cave mansion of this mere third-tier Demonic Beast, Wang Hong, but he didn't find anything particularly valuable.

Most of the Demon Clan members were relatively poor, lacking substantial wealth. Even their collections, if they had any, were mostly based on personal preferences and not necessarily valuable items.

Perhaps it was because the perspectives of the Human Clan and the Demon Clan were somewhat different.

At this moment, he shifted his gaze to a corner where he noticed a stone-carved box. Surprisingly, this box could shield Divine Sense detection.

He approached the stone box and opened its lid, revealing countless Storage Bags inside. He randomly picked up one Storage Bag and found it filled with Copper Essence Ore.

Opening another Storage Bag, he found more Copper Essence Ore.

After inspecting all the Storage Bags in this box, he discovered various types of ore, primarily Copper Essence Ore, along with some Iron Mother ore and Silver Essence ore.

It was astonishing that this third-tier Demonic Beast had hidden so much ore. Judging by this, it was possible that it all came from the same vein.

Seeing this pile of ore, he speculated that this third-tier Demonic Beast might have either looted a vein or taken control of one.

Wang Hong stored all the items in the mountain cave into his Space. These ores were all materials for refining second-tier tools.

Ever since he had refined the Flying Boat and equipped over four hundred Foundation Building subordinates, his inventory of various refining materials had long been depleted. Now was the perfect opportunity to replenish it – a fortunate windfall.

After leaving this mountain cave, he continued to search around the peak.

After a while, he noticed another mountain cave on a nearby mountainside, where he could see signs of activity at the entrance.

He guided his vessel to land at that cave entrance, and immediately, a humanoid Demonic Beast covered in scales emerged, shouting, "Halt, intruder!"

Wang Hong had no patience for idle chatter with this Demonic Beast. He summoned a Spirit net, casting it over the creature.

The Demonic Beast, upon seeing that the newcomer attacked without hesitation, attempted to retaliate but was too slow, quickly becoming securely bound by the large net.

"What is inside this mountain cave?" Wang Hong already had some suspicions, but he still asked.

"Hmph! You won't get any information from me! The Patriarch will arrive soon, and then you'll have no place to bury yourself," the Demonic Beast responded defiantly. Although it had heard the sounds of battle from the neighboring mountain, it believed that the Patriarch's strength would swiftly eliminate the enemy.

"If you're not willing to talk, then I'll grant your wish," Wang Hong said, holding his Long Spear, and with one strike, he shattered the Demonic Beast's skull, instantly ending its consciousness.

Wang Hong had only asked casually, as he was going to investigate anyway.

Moreover, his Divine Sense had already detected the cave entrance and several Human Clan Qi Cultivation cultivators guarding it.

The three guards at the entrance had witnessed the recent battle and now, with the fight over, they hurriedly approached, prostrating themselves on the ground."Junior Zhang You, Ren Du, and Deng Qingguang pay our respects to the seniors. We thank the seniors for saving our lives!"

"Please rise," Wang Hong said coldly. "Why are you here?"

"We are nearby loose cultivators," one of them replied honestly. "Half a year ago, we were captured by Demonic Beasts and forced to guard this mining site. Originally, there were over ten of us, but the other people were killed by the Demonic Beasts for various reasons."

"Ah, is this indeed a mining site? What kind of ore does this vein produce?" Wang Hong inquired.

"Senior, this place mainly produces Profound Iron Ore and Red Copper ore, with occasional yields of rare spirit ores like Copper Essence and Iron Mother."

"Wait here for now; I'll go inside and take a look," Wang Hong said, waving his hand to suppress the three men's Spiritual Energy within their bodies. Then, he proceeded alone toward the mining cave.

Inside the cave, numerous mortal miners toiled, their faces withered, their eyes vacant. They mechanically chipped away at the hard rocks on the cave walls.

The rocks in this vein were exceptionally tough, far from something a mortal could easily break.

Every time they swung their pickaxes with all their might, they could only create a small dent in the rock, but they continued their monotonous work.

Wang Hong approached one section of the wall, made a few strokes with his Flying Sword, and effortlessly cleaved off several large chunks of Red Copper Ore.

The commotion drew awestruck looks from nearby miners, but none dared to approach him or speak.

Wang Hong sheathed his Flying Sword and, seeing that the miners were all staring at him, he declared loudly, "I declare that from today onwards, you are all free and no longer need to mine. Go back to where you came from."

However, his words did not elicit cheers from the miners.

In their eyes, one could only see numbness, suspicion, fear, and a range of other emotions.

They had been oppressed here for so long, their hearts had already grown numb. Even if Wang Hong freed them now, they couldn't immediately adapt and couldn't believe that this was real.

After a while, one of them timidly stepped out of the crowd and asked, "Immortal Master, are you saying we can go home? We don't have to mine anymore?"

"Of course, why would I lie to you? The Demonic Beasts outside have already been dealt with. You are free to leave," Wang Hong said affirmatively.

"Thank you, Immortal Master, for saving our lives!" The group of miners instantly knelt down, kowtowing repeatedly, ignoring the fact that they were scraping their foreheads on the rocky ground.

"Alright, get up and leave this place quickly," Wang Hong said, and he led the way out of the cave. The miners hurried to inform those who were unaware of the news. After all, this mining site was vast, with numerous tunnels, and only a small portion of the miners were gathered here.

Once outside the cave, Wang Hong removed the restrictions on the three Qi Cultivation cultivators and let them go.

For these Qi Cultivation stage cultivators, the Demon Clan wouldn't even spend a Blood Contract to claim them, as they weren't considered valuable. As for the mining site, Wang Hong had no immediate solution to it, as he couldn't single-handedly mine and transport the resources.

It was a shame since this place was a prime location with a medium-sized Spirit Vein on the mountain and abundant Spirit Qi, coupled with the mining vein.

Judging from the environment on the mountaintop, there used to be a power here in the past. However, it had either left or been wiped out, allowing this group of Demonic Beasts to claim the territory.

Returning to the area of the previous battle, Wang Hong approached the third-tier Demonic Beast that had been bound by the Spirit net. Confirming that it was truly dead, he released the net.

He then proceeded to dismember the Demonic Beast's body and stored the various materials separately.

The bodies of the other Demonic Beasts were all directly collected into his Space. Afterward, he mounted Little Peng and departed from the area.
