“I’m Li Min of the Heavenly Joy Pavilion,” said the woman in black.

“I’m Wei Zhixiang from the Heavenly Joy Pavilion,” said the handsome young man. “I’ve heard quite a lot about you, Junior Brother.”

Jiang Hao looked at them and addressed them as “Seniors.”

Li Min was in the middle stage of the Golden Core Realm. When she spoke, Jiang Hao could sense her resentment toward him.

Wei Zhixiang was at the later stage of the Golden Core Realm. He seemed to have just advanced. He was friendly when he spoke.

‘Something’s odd. If it’s about Senior Sister Yun Ruo, it shouldn’t matter to Li Min, so why is she hostile to me?’ Jiang Hao was puzzled.

“Junior Brother Jiang, you’re quite famous in the sect lately,” said Wei Zhixiang.

Jiang Hao lowered his head humbly. “Senior Brother, you’re too kind. I just got lucky.”

After a while, two more people arrived. A man and a woman.

“A middle-stage Golden Core Realm cultivator leading the team?” The woman dressed in green turned up her nose at him. “You look just ordinary. How can we trust you?”

Jiang Hao smiled and said politely, “If it bothers you, Senior Sister, you can always raise questions about my decision, and we can all agree.”

He was fine with that. This was the best way to deal with those who looked down on him. He could also choose a new team leader in this way.

Being a team leader was exhausting. It required taking care of his team members as much as possible. It always restricted his freedom.

“That’s more like it,” she said and nodded.

With her was a man at the early stage of the Golden Core Realm who stood silently by her side.

Among them, he had the lowest cultivation realm.

The woman from the Ice Moon Valley was Liu Xin. She was in the middle stage of the Golden Core Realm. The man was Hai Yun.

The one with the highest cultivation was Wei Zhixiang from the Heavenly Joy Pavilion.

After a while, the five arrived at the mines. Jiang Hao had replaced Mu Qi’s spot as one of the supervisors.

There was no need to meet the other seniors there, and they could enter the mine.

They headed to the area where no one else was there.

Upon arrival, they found that there were others inside.

Just like them, five people were gathered into groups.

There were two groups in total.

All were in the middle to late stages of the Golden Core Realm. The team leaders were at the peak of the Golden Core Realm or the early stage of the Primordial Spirit Realm.

There were three women and two men on the left. Their team leader was a woman.

There was a group of another three men and two women on the right. Their team leader was a man.

Jiang Hao was surprised. There seemed to be more people than expected.

At that moment, there was only one path ahead, and it seemed they were discussing who should enter first.

“We arrived first! Why are you stopping us from going in?” said one of the women in the late stage of the Golden Core Realm.

Her team leader was at the early stage of the Primordial Spirit Realm, so she didn’t need to fear anyone.

“You arrived first?” said a man and frowned. “Didn’t you see our people at the entrance when you arrived?”

“We saw the entrance from afar. Is there any problem with us entering first? No one has said anything. Why are you stopping us?” asked a woman at the late stage of the Golden Core Realm.

“Are you all blind? Didn’t you see the entrance?” the man asked. “If you didn’t see us here first, then you must be blind,” said the woman.

“You!”

“Let’s say you’re right for argument’s sake. Why would that be a problem in letting us in?”

“Then, why didn’t you let us in first since you saw us here?”

“That’s ridiculous! You won’t let us in, so why should we let you in? It should’ve been us first.

Jiang Hao and the other four remained silent and watched them argue.

Finally, the man, at the peak of the Golden Core Realm, stepped aside.

“It should have been this way from the beginning. Everyone else has nothing to say. It’s just you who has a problem. Yet, you claim to have no issues with it now,” said the woman coldly.

After that, her group entered the mines, followed by the man’s team.

Jiang Hao waited for a while before entering.

He could see it clearly. The man at the peak of the Golden Core Realm had concealed his cultivation realm.

He had already advanced to the early stage of the Primordial Spirit Realm.

He wondered if the remaining people would have a problem too.

The next day, Jiang Hao’s group found an underground river inside.

The flow of water was quite astonishing.

After a quick look around, they found a corpse by the shore.

The body was of the woman who was arguing yesterday.

Jiang Hao sighed. It was better to lie low and just be polite.

It was less dangerous that way.

The Heavenly Note Sect was not a good place.

Jiang Hao sneakily glanced at the four people in this group. He noticed their grim expressions.

The dead woman was at the late stage of the Golden Core Realm. The strongest among their group of five was also at the late stage of the Golden Core Realm.

“How did she die?” Li Min asked.

Wei Zhixiang walked over to the body and examined it briefly. He found out that she was stabbed to death. “Murdered…

Everyone knew who might have killed her.

It must have been one of the five people from before.

Jiang Hao didn’t say anything and continued walking forward.

“Aren’t they afraid of being discovered by the sect?” Liu Xin asked indignantly.

She didn’t dare to speak too loudly.

She suddenly felt that this place seemed much more dangerous than she had expected.

Hai Yun followed behind quietly.

“The sect doesn’t care about this place,” Wei Zhixiang said.

The group fell silent.

Jiang Hao followed the river downstream. He remembered that there was lava in the mine before. Why was there an underground river now?

After a while, they arrived at a wide opening. The river flowed down like a waterfall from there. They couldn’t make out how deep the water was.

“We need to go down and take a look,” Wei Zhixiang said.

“There’s no other path here,” Liu Xin said.

The others agreed to explore further down.

Soon after, the four of them looked at Jiang Hao.

“I think we should split up,” Jiang Hao said. “With our strength, we can’t take the usual route. So, I think we need to make a new path away from the others.”

“Make a new path?” Liu Xin sneered. “And how are we going to do that?”

Jiang Hao looked at the huge platform. He then came to a corner of the wall and patted it. “This place looks like it can be dug through. We can make a cave here and follow through. Finding a mining vein is also good.” “A mine?” Wei Zhixiang frowned. “Are we going to mine here?”

Jiang Hao shook his head. “No. I’ll do it.”

The four were puzzled and a bit skeptical.

“We can treat this as our base. I will dig and search for mining veins. Seniors, if any of you face danger while exploring below, you can retreat and converge here so that we can discuss further. If you find something useful, then it will

omnouslY be yours.”

Everyone thought about it.

It was a bit strange.

Staying here to mine was quite dangerous because there might be many monsters in the mining veins. There were usually monsters lurking in mines discovered for the first time.

There was another problem: which normal Golden Core Realm cultivator would run here just to mine?

At that moment, Li Min said, “I think that is reasonable. I’ll stay here and mine with Junior Brother Jiang..”
