Day and night, hundreds of people from the mining area were relocated. At the same time, Yun Canglang also rushed to the Hunter Soldier Branch located in the southern border, showing the elder’s token to the local person in charge. Upon seeing the elder’s token, as if they had seen the elder himself, they listened to Yun Canglang explain the situation. The Hunter Soldier Branch immediately summoned all hunter soldiers of rank D or above who were nearby on assignments, totaling over two hundred people. That night, Yun Canglang led these elite hunter soldiers towards the mining area. "Little Divine Doctor, whatever you say, I’ll do. I ask for nothing else, as long as my Sixth Son can safely get out and leave a descendant for our family, I’ll be completely content," Yun Sheng suggested Sixth Son’s mother put the Poison Nutmeg in the mysterious people’s food after three days. Sixth Son’s mother didn’t ask for the specific reason. Although she was just an illiterate peasant woman, she knew there were some questions she shouldn’t ask, and carefully hid the Poison Nutmeg given by Yun Sheng. "Big sister, rest assured, your whole family will be able to get out safely. During this period, we still need you and uncle to cooperate more," Yun Sheng then called Sixth Son’s father over and whispered a few words to him, who nodded repeatedly after hearing them. Due to the sudden disappearance of about a hundred people, the mysterious people’s sub-leader was somewhat flustered. Sixth Son’s father took the initiative to offer advice. "Sir, let me give you a suggestion. If the suggestion is useful, please allow my wife, child, and I a way to live after mining is completed," Sixth Son’s dad pleaded loyally with the sub-leader. The sub-leader agreed crisply but sneered inwardly: "Fools, the day the mining is completed will be the day of your deaths." The idea from Sixth Son’s father was actually very simple, which was to increase the intensity of the miners’ labor. The usual batches of twenty miners were suddenly increased to a hundred, regardless of age or gender, anyone who could labor was sent into the caves. The remaining hundred people were also sent to the mines to transport the freshly excavated ores immediately to the Magic Transmission Array. "Quick, everyone hurry up, we must gather all the ores within five days," consequently, the mysterious people had no choice but to supervise the miners day and night. The entire mining area fell into an unprecedented state of intense labor. Due to the lack of manpower, the mysterious people also relaxed their surveillance somewhat. Just before and after the third watch, the mining inside the cave was still bustling, and several mysterious people walked out of the cave, yawning continuously. "When will these hellish days end? If this continues, not just the miners, even I can’t hold on," one of them complained. "Why are we so unlucky? If only we had been assigned to the refining group by good fortune, we wouldn’t have to suffer like this. I heard that the extraction of this Purple Gold Vein was quite successful, yielding over ten thousand jin of top-grade Purple Gold Ore. Even just secretly keeping a piece would match our ten years’ salaries," as the two were speaking, suddenly they felt a piercing pain on their necks. The next moment, two heads rolled onto the ground, their eyes still not having time to close. Ye Beiming and Cheng Bai deftly removed the waist cards from the two talking mysterious people. "The vein has already been mined more than sixty to seventy percent, it’s time to take action," Ye Beiming had been lurking in the mining area for quite a while and due to the sudden appearance of Yun Sheng, he sensed that the atmosphere in the mining area was somewhat unusual. His sharp intuition told him that he must act quickly, otherwise... he feared that Little Wildcat might spoil his plans. The two took out the prepared Purple Gold Ore and started walking towards the mining area’s transportation zone. When passing by the defense area of the mining zone, Ye Beiming glanced at those astonishingly powerful Thunder Burst Magic Arrays. He suddenly stopped in his tracks. "What’s wrong?" Cheng Bai saw him suddenly stop and thought something was amiss. Ye Beiming was silent. He raised his hand, which emitted a black Magic Element. Without any fear, he reached his hand into the Thunder Burst Magic Array. In the eyes of others, an explosive and fierce Magic Array seemed powerless before him. Inside the Magic Array, the Magic Elements disappeared instantly, rendering the Magic Array ineffective. As Ye Beiming moved forward, he successively destroyed more than a dozen Thunder Burst Magic Arrays, murmuring in his heart, "Little Wildcat, you better not disappoint me." Ye Beiming and Cheng Bai walked all the way to the transport area. "What are you two doing?" The Mages guarding the Magic Arrays stopped the two mysterious figures. "There is a shortage of labor in the mines, we were ordered to transport ore for smelting," Cheng Bai smoothly replied. The two Mages checked their waist cards and then let them into the Magic Array. Within the Magic Array, Magic Elements flickered, and under the influence of Space-time Magic, in just a blink of an eye, Ye Beiming and Cheng Bai found themselves in an unfamiliar area. Ye Beiming crinkled his nose, sensing a different air temperature and soil underfoot. Such excellent Space-time Magic, if not mistaken, they were no longer on the territory of Great Zhou. To be able to connect hundreds or even thousands of miles instantly with Space-time Magic, the opposing camp must possess a Mage capable of using advanced Time Attribute Magic. "Beiming, look," Cheng Bai’s gaze changed, showing a hint of surprise on his face. On the other side of the Magic Array was access to a substantial smelting factory, which at that moment, was bustling and extremely busy. Hundreds of Mages in Magic Cloaks were urgently occupied. The Purple Gold Ore that was being transported through the Magic Array was piled up on the side. First, Thunder Attribute Mages broke the large chunks of Purple Gold Ore, then Wind Mages transported them to a gigantic smelting pool, the size of two basketball courts. There were thirty Fire-element Mages, all using Fire Magic simultaneously. Purple Gold Ore was quickly melted by magical fire after being thrown into the furnace, quickly transported via the smelting pool into another cooling pond. The magically smelted Purple Gold Ore was smaller than its original size by more than double, but its color became richer, producing top-grade Purple Gold, ready to be minted into coins for circulation. Coarsely estimated, over the past ten days, the Purple Gold Ore delivered here could forge over ten million Purple Gold Coins. The busy Mages hadn’t noticed the addition of two strangers to the smelting factory. "Is this a large-scale Magic Refining Factory?" Although Jiuxiao had already infiltrated this place, Ye Beiming and Cheng Bai hadn’t expected that these mysterious people had such a powerful cadre of Mages behind them. Ye Beiming suddenly realized, the real identity of this batch of mysterious individuals was something he should have guessed much earlier. In the continent, only Tang Yuan commanded such strong support from powerful Mages.
