Chapter 58 Crane City
The small mine of Qingyun Sect is located close to the hinterland of Yulan Kingdom, so there are no monsters to harass it, and even monks are not common here.

Wang Lian spent half a month using the Light Body Technique to travel across half of the Yulan Kingdom. After passing several mortal cities, he finally found the place more than a hundred miles away from a mortal city called Crane City. The location of the mine.

The mine is in a continuous mountain range, inaccessible to people, and it is covered by formations, so there are no traces left by secular people here.

Wang Lian came outside the mine's formation and sent out a Qingyun Sect's special transmission note to enter the mine's protective formation.

Soon, the formation swayed and then opened, and a young man with a white face and no beard came out, and behind him, there were two middle-aged men with dark faces and third-level Qi practitioners.

When the white-faced young man saw Wang Lian, he immediately smiled and cupped his hands and said, "Is this fellow Taoist Wang Lian from the sect? Nice to meet you, nice to meet you."

"Don't dare, don't dare. You must be fellow Taoist Xu Song, right?" Wang Lian also cupped his hands and glanced at Xu Song and then at the two monks at the third level of Qi training, with a look of doubt in his eyes.

But Wang Lian didn't mean to say anything more. He just wanted to get what he needed as soon as possible and then leave.

"Yes, that's right." Xu Song invited Wang Lian in with a smile.

Wang Lian said as he walked: "Fellow Taoist Xu Song, let me tell you straight, I am here to do this mission. It is also a fixed mission for the sect every year, so I have to come."

"If Fellow Daoist Xu is willing, let's join forces immediately to take down the shadow rat nest. How about that?"

As soon as these words came out, the smile on Xu Song's face did not diminish, but the expressions of the two dark-faced monks following him tightened.

Xu Song thought for a while and then said: "This matter is not urgent. The Shadow Rat is extremely cunning, and his skin is rough and fleshy due to taking the spirit iron ore, so we need to consider it in the long term."

Wang Lian frowned, then relaxed and said: "In that case, then just listen to Fellow Daoist Xu."

Then, Wang Lian thought for a while and said: "The sect also asked me to verify the loss of the spiritual iron ore in the warehouse. If it is convenient for fellow Taoist, let's go and take a look."

As soon as these words came out, Xu Song couldn't hold back the smile on his face, and then he sighed and said: "Fellow Daoist Wang, because of the killer Shadow Rat, the production of our mine has been reduced a lot."

Wang Lian immediately smiled and said: "I understand, I will explain it clearly to the sect."

"Then thank you Daoist Wang." Xu Song looked grateful.

Wang Lian waved his hand and immediately followed Xu Song to the mine warehouse.

When Xu Song opened the mine warehouse, Wang Lian couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth. Although Wang Lian was mentally prepared, he still didn't expect that there was only one piece of ore left in the mine warehouse.

Under normal circumstances, the warehouse of this small mine should have about three parties of ore available all year round. Even if the shadow rats are rampant, it is impossible for only one party of ore to be left.

Wang Lian looked at the warehouse and touched his chin, seemingly deep in thought.

Xu Song and the two black-faced monks also fell into silence, and the positions of Xu Song and the three of them vaguely cut off Wang Lian's retreat.

For a while, the atmosphere became a little subtle.

Wang Lian thought for a while and said: "Fellow Daoist Xu, the ore loss in this warehouse is so severe that I can only report that there is only one and a half ore left."

Wang Lian's voice broke the delicate atmosphere of the scene, and Xu Song was a little stunned because Wang Lian took the initiative to help them cover up the problem.

Immediately, Xu Song came back to his senses, and immediately said gratefully: "Then thank you Daoist Wang for your help."

The two dark-faced monks behind Xu Song couldn't help but look at each other, looking a little surprised.

Immediately, Wang Lian smiled again and said: "Let's do this. When Fellow Daoist Xu is ready, we will go down to the mine to capture the shadow rat, and then I can go back to deliver the mission." "Okay." Xu Song did not refuse this time; He agreed immediately.

Then, Xu Song prepared a table of good food and wine to welcome Wang Lian.

"This is the signature dish of the best restaurant in Hecheng nearby. It tastes good. You can try it, Daoyou Wang." Xu Song introduced it earnestly during the dinner.

Wang Lian looked at the table of food and wine, looking a little dazed. Since he began to practice, he has gradually gone away from food and rarely enjoys the delicacies of the secular world.

Therefore, Wang Lian was not polite and took down all these delicacies in a hurry.

"I never thought that fellow Taoist Xu Song could enjoy such things while guarding the mine." Wang Lian said with emotion.

"It's just fun in the midst of hardship." Xu Song waved his hand and said with a smile.

Wang Lian sneered in his heart: "Having fun in hardship? Then why don't you apply to return to the sect? Your period of guarding the mine is already enough, right?"

However, Wang Lian did not tell the truth. Instead, he pretended not to know anything and exchanged cups with Xu Song with a smile.

After the banquet, Wang Lian checked into the guest room Xu Song had specially prepared for him.

Wang Lian was lying on the bed in the guest room, thinking to himself: "Xu Song, I only want Jiaochao and Xuanjingtie, please take care of yourself."

On the other side, Xu Song and two men who were on the third level of Qi training gathered together. Xu Song's face was cold, and there was a faint evil spirit in his eyes, and he completely lost the peaceful appearance when he was pushing cups and changing cups.

"How do you think we should deal with this Wang Lian?" Xu Song said coldly, already treating Wang Lian as a piece of fish on the chopping board.

One of his subordinates thought for a while and said, "Wang Lian should only be here to complete the mission, and will go back as long as he can deliver, so we will fool him tomorrow and let him go back."

Another subordinate shook his head: "I don't think it's appropriate. You know people but don't know their hearts. Then Wang Lian said that it's good if he can do business. Who knows what he will say after he goes back?"

"How are you doing?" Xu Song looked at his men and asked.

"Let him swear an oath on his inner demons to keep our secrets."

"What if he doesn't obey?"

"Forcing him to destroy his cultivation level, if he still dares to disobey, kill him directly, and then tell the sect that Wang Lian was killed while fighting the Shadow Rat, and then another monk will threaten him!"

In a few words, a few people had already made a decision on Wang Lian's outcome.

In the guest room, Wang Lian withdrew his consciousness with a sneer on his face: "What a vicious plan!"

Then, Wang Lian sensed that Xu Song and the others were tiptoeing towards his residence, and pretended to be asleep.

Suddenly, Wang Lian felt a spiritual power coming towards him, binding him tightly.

Wang Lian did not resist and allowed the other party to bind him, because this spiritual power could bind a monk at the fourth level of Qi training, but it was impossible to bind a monk at the eighth level.

So Wang Lian pretended to wake up, and then said angrily: "Fellow Taoist Xu Song, what do you mean?"

The dim candlelight illuminated half of Xu Song's face with a solemn expression: "It's nothing, I just want fellow Taoists to swear an oath based on their inner demons."
