”You don’t understand? I think you should understand.” Upon hearing this, the Green Snake Elder was stunned, then immediately shook his head, sneering grimly, ”Red Lion, let’s be honest, since I’ve come to find you, do you think it will be easy to deceive me? I merely don’t want to personally investigate that Black Profound Copper Vein…”

Upon hearing this, Red Lion Daoist’s complexion changed drastically.

Seeing this situation, the Green Snake Elder shook his head and laughed coldly to himself, saying, ”Now, confess everything honestly, maybe several Palace Masters will still give you a chance to redeem yourself. After all, who isn’t greedy sometimes? But if you stubbornly refuse to admit it, in the end, the consequences can only be your best and worst guess.”

”This is the only warning I’ll give, consider it my utmost benevolence. As for the choice, think it over yourself.” With this, Green Snake Elder fell silent, his eyes flickering with a faint cold light, looking at Red Lion Daoist without speaking.

Upon hearing this, Red Lion Daoist’s heart was in turmoil, his face very gloomy and bitter.

Clearly, he never expected that damned Patrolling Ghost Messenger to arrive so quickly.

Moreover, it’s true. That Black Profound Copper Essence Vein isn’t just anything, buried there, with suspicions already rising; if truly investigated, can anything remain hidden?

At that time, he would be truly unable to defend himself! The accusation would be real.

”Ah!”

Thinking of this, Red Lion Daoist couldn’t help but sigh heavily, looking at the Green Snake Elder, his face full of bitterness, ”I didn’t expect, Envoy Green Snake, that you were hiding so deeply! I’m afraid apart from me, no one else knows, right?”

”If everyone knew, I fear I couldn’t continue being the Patrolling Ghost Messenger.” Upon hearing this, Green Snake Elder twitched his mouth and said indifferently.

”Indeed.”

Red Lion Daoist responded slowly, after a silent pause, he finally said slowly, ”In the Enlightened Deity Cave’s Black Profound Copper Mine Cave, there should be a micro Black Mystic Copper Vein buried.”

”What!? Black Profound Copper Essence Vein... are you sure!?” As expected, even the Green Snake Elder couldn’t help but shrink his aging pupils sharply, and then both his complexion and tone became exceedingly solemn and serious.

Given his level and identity, he clearly understood that while the difference between a Black Profound Copper Mine Vein and a Black Profound Copper Essence Vein might be just one word, the meanings they represent are truly worlds apart!

”Otherwise, why do you think I would take such risks, mingling with Cloud Dragon Mountain, letting you speculate for nothing?” Now that the words were laid out, Red Lion Daoist felt indifferent, glancing at the still turbulent and excited Green Snake Elder, shaking his head, he said plainly.

The indifference stemmed from his clear understanding that from now on, that Black Profound Copper Essence Vein would probably have nothing whatsoever to do with him, Red Lion Daoist, and his Red Lion Cave! The feeling was so complex it could hardly be described with words.

”Do the people of Cloud Dragon Mountain know about this matter?” This time, Green Snake Elder didn’t care about Red Lion Daoist’s tone, looking at him, he asked coldly and seriously.

”Of course not. Although my mind was muddled by that Black Profound Copper Essence Vein, I’m not that stupid.” Red Lion Daoist said indifferently.

”Is that so?”

Upon hearing Red Lion Daoist’s decisive reply, Green Snake Elder finally felt slightly relieved in his heart.

Otherwise, just a micro Black Profound Copper Essence Vein, the value it could create would probably buy half of the Purple Flame Palace. Such astronomical wealth, how could the Purple Flame Palace willingly give it up?

Correspondingly, if Cloud Dragon Mountain already knew about this matter, how could they let it go, allowing the Purple Flame Palace to gain that micro Black Profound Copper Essence Vein for nothing?

So, thankfully, truly thankfully…

”Envoy Green Snake, it looks like you’re now interested in that Black Profound Copper Essence Vein too?” At this moment, Red Lion Daoist suddenly spoke teasingly.

Upon hearing this, detecting the sarcasm in Red Lion Daoist’s words, Green Snake Elder frowned slightly, responding coldly, ”This North Side Area of Eagle Gorge is entirely our Purple Flame Palace’s territory! Moreover, your Red Lion Cave and the Enlightened Deity Cave are still our Purple Flame Palace’s affiliates, so there’s no problem with the Black Profound Copper Essence Vein belonging to our Purple Flame Palace, is there?”

”I have no problem now, but will that old Cang Kun from Enlightened Deity Cave agree?” Upon hearing this, Red Lion Daoist’s expression remained mocking, but immediately, his expression trembled fiercely, and his gaze involuntarily revealed a hint of ferocity, gritting his teeth.

If it weren’t for that old Cang Kun, how could his plan fail this time? How could their Red Lion Cave suffer such massive losses, with four protector elders—all except Luo Quan—dead, leaving none behind?

This was undoubtedly a huge loss for their Red Lion Cave’s foundation, and just thinking about it was enough to make him instantly go mad! His heart like being burned by fire.

”Cang Kun?” Upon hearing this name, even Green Snake Elder, a patrolling ghost messenger at the peak of Ninth Layer Qi Refinement of Purple Flame Palace, couldn’t help but show a more somber expression, feeling heavy pressure in his heart.

There’s no way around it, for those at their level, they understand more clearly how formidable those two monsters on Canglan Island are!

If it weren’t for those two combined being able to stop any random action from their Palace Master, how could Canglan Island enjoy such freedom under their noses, remaining outside their control?

In the end, it all comes down to power. Cang Kun of Canglan Island, Blue Whale, those two guys…

One must admit, they’re indeed much more formidable than Green Snake.

Even within their Purple Flame Palace’s team of Inspection Enforcers, there seemed to be no one who could match them! Let alone suppress them.

However, even if their Inspection Enforcers couldn’t suppress them, don’t forget, their Purple Flame Palace still had three Foundation Establishment True Person Realm Palace Masters.

”Refuse? If you have the skills, let him personally tell this to the three Palace Masters. Anyway, as long as this news is sent back, I would be credited with meritorious service. As for the others, hehe, what does it have to do with me?” Then, the Green Snake Elder let out a cold laugh and said.

Upon hearing this, Red Lion Daoist was slightly stunned, then fell silent.

Whoosh!

But then, a cold and ruthless killing intent suddenly locked onto him. Terrifying to the extreme.

”Envoy Green Snake, what do you mean by this?” Sensing the chilling killing intent, Red Lion Daoist’s face changed dramatically, raising his head and shouting.

Whoosh!

Puchi puchi puchi...

Rumble rumble rumble rumble rumble...

Unfortunately, just at the moment he reacted, the black mist that filled the entire hall had already completely enveloped and covered his entire being and body! Filled with thick murderous intent, spiritual light surged, and it was extremely intense.

”Jie jie, what do I mean? You’ve asked all the questions, do you think there’s any use of you staying now?”

The Green Snake Elder let out a sinister laugh, waved his hands, and two sinister cold lights appeared at the edges of his palms. With a puff, when the lights burst open, two blades resembling snake shapes appeared.

It turned out that from the very beginning, he never intended for Red Lion Daoist to survive.

”Roar!”

”Rumble rumble...”

”Qing She, don’t go too far, do you really think you have me cornered?” A furious roar burst from the entrance of Red Lion Cave, the eyes blood-red, staring at the opponent, with an extremely terrifying power shaking throughout the body. Glaring fiercely.

One must know, even if Red Lion Daoist was not up to the standard, he had a Second Level Late Stage Beast tiger demon, even stronger than a powerhouse of the same Realm at the Qi Refining Ninth Layer!

So, even if Green Snake Elder had a cultivation level at the Peak Realm of Qi Refining Ninth Layer, it didn’t necessarily mean he was much stronger.

”Hehe, it seems you take me as an ordinary Peak of Qi Refining Ninth Layer?”

Yet, upon hearing this, the Green Snake Elder let out a sinister laugh, and then a powerful and terrifying aura, like sky and sea, was released in the chilly large hall.

Amid the surging and rolling black mist, Green Snake Elder’s weird multi-ridged pupils emitted a mocking cold light, like ghostly light, hissing, hissing... In the black mist, the sound of a snake’s whisper gradually emerged, making one’s scalp tingle.

And under the sound of the snake’s whisper and the rolling black mist, the originally violent red demon light engulfing Red Lion Daoist now, also began to weaken slightly.

The flames dissipated, swallowed by darkness. Even the extremely fierce and sinister roars in the black mist seemed ethereal and faint, in and out, not reaching out.

Enveloped within the black mist, the Green Snake Elder curled the corners of his mouth, murmuring to himself: ”As expected, this formation is useful, but did you really think I was tangling with you, asking pointless questions, for nothing?”

”Even a casual investigation would provide more clarity than what I heard from your mouth. But, truly, I didn’t expect the Black Profound Copper Mine Cave would harbor a Micro Black Mystic Copper Vein, looks like I must return immediately. This would be a great contribution.”

The words of Green Snake Elder carried hidden excitement, murmuring and murmuring, eventually with the rolling black mist, disappeared directly.

Vanished without a trace from the cold large hall.

And the Red Lion Daoist, initially trapped in the black mist, roaring fiercely, unable to extricate himself, now, had completely fallen silent, laying on the ground, or should I say, lifeless. Only a venomous cold sneer, murmuring in a corner, floated further and further, growing fainter and fainter.

”Didn’t your Red Lion Cave already pledge allegiance to Yan Zhen Sect? Then in that case, with Red Lion you dead, you might be more useful than alive, right? Haha, hahaha... jie jie.”

...

Days later, the whole of Red Lion Cave was in great shock!

Because, someone finally discovered Red Lion Daoist’s partially decayed, completely cold corpse in the hall.

Afterwards, the news spread, directly causing a massive upheaval within hundreds, nearly a thousand miles surrounding.
