Phoenix Destroyer
46. A Bad Situation

It was another day in the underground mine.

Kong Li once asked others, and realized that this meteorite rock mine belonged to the Hua Kingdom.

Kong Li at the time: " ... " He didn't expect to be a part of this.

But looking at the situation lately, this underground mine seems to have started to run out.

Meteorite rocks are rarely excavated, some miners can not even get the minimum amount of income. If Kong Li did not attempt to dig a few more corners, perhaps the one who felt hungry would be him.

Kong Li did not know how the other mine pit was, but he was sure his current place would not last much longer.

A commotion was happening outside, some people wanted to see what was happening but did not dare.

"This is the voice of that man again."

"This guy... Why is no one looking for him? Back then we could also use it to take us out of this barren place."

"I don't know how my family is doing."

"I miss my brother."

Little did Kong Li know, these miners were originally taken from the prisoners from the prison. But somehow since when, this underground mine had become a dumping ground for certain people to get rid of the enemy or people who had offended.

After that, even those people would buy some people from human traffickers or bandits to be used as mine diggers. This was what happened to Kong Li, he was on his way to the Royal Capital of Hua to search for a large teleportation array. But unintentionally, Kong Li took the black inn.

The innkeeper drugged him with a special medicine aimed at cultivators. Then sell it to underground mines. Luckily, no one recognized the phoenix, so those people also threw Feng Mo with him.

"Who is that 'person' they're talking about?" Kong Li asked the person next to him.

The body of the person being asked suddenly shook, not expecting to be the target of a ferocious beauty. He unconsciously became nervous. "Ah? Uh?"

Kong Li glanced sharply. "Are you deaf and dumb? "

Facing Kong Li's sharp gaze, the shabby man grew even more trembling in fear.

"Itu—Dia! He is Putra— Crown Prince!"

Kong Li was stunned. "Which royal prince?"

"Ten— is of course the Kingdom of Hua!"

This time Kong Li was completely shocked. "How did he get here?"

The man shrank his body. "Who knows?"

"Since when did he show up here?"

"A— I don't remember, bi— can I go?"

Seeing the man seem to be fainting at any moment, Kong Li waved away expelling him. As if given an amnesty, the skinny man immediately fled to the farthest corner of Kong Li.

The corner of Kong Li's mouth twitched at the person's departure.

Crown Prince...

Kong Li stroked his chin. If he wanted to leave here, he would have to find a reliable maid. This Crown Prince happened to be sending out pillows while he was sleepy.

Earlier when Kong Li was following Feng Mo, it was not that he had never interfered in every decision, but Feng Mo had obviously been very accommodating to all the circumstances of him.

Now without someone making a decision for him, Kong Li had to always think about the advantages and disadvantages of each step he chose. Not to get him in trouble later on.

After all Kong Li had been educated as the next Patriarch of the Peacock Demon Clan. He must be responsible for all his choices.

But before that Kong Li had to find out what happened before. It was obviously a big problem that a Crown Prince of a dignified Kingdom had become an underground quarry digger.

Storing the meteorite rocks on the ground, Kong Li walked out of the mine. The attendant did not dare to hinder Kong Li, only praying that he would not cause any more trouble.

Outside, two people were arguing fiercely. One of them was an officer whose position was slightly higher than an ordinary patrol team. And the other was a man in tattered clothes.

Even if the man was slightly thinner and shabby, nothing could beat his temperament. It was the Crown Prince that the miners were talking about.

"The land below has shifted, if you don't stop mining immediately, the land will collapse and kill many people!"

"What nonsense are you talking about?! The mine has stood for thousands of years and has not collapsed since then, if you want to be lazy, then do not mine! No one cares whether you get food or not!"

"Then when the mine completely collapsed, did you not care about the lives of the other miners?!"

The officer choked, not daring to answer. How could he say it when there were other miners watching their quarrel. There could be riots.

"Stop talking nonsense! The mine will not collapse! Quickly return to your position and hurry to dig!"

The Crown Prince was furious, he flicked his arm and left just like that.

"Where are you going?!" The screams of the officers behind did not stop him.

Kong Li saw that there was no other commotion and quietly chased after the Crown Prince.

Han Yilin returned to her room angrily, her brows furrowing into one.

"It didn't work?"

Suddenly a voice came from within.

Han Yilin turned her head, her originally wrinkled face turning gentle for a moment. "Ru'er, how did you get out of bed?"

A woman suddenly appeared from the shadows.

Han Yilin approached and led the woman to the bed. In fact, the so-called bed is only a few rough mats that are stacked into one so that it forms a bed. Here nothing can be used as a bed other than a mat.

"Yilin, you don't have to be like this, you shouldn't be in this place."

"What omong-empty? Get some sleep, I'll find some more meteorite rocks."

Li Wenru's hand gripped Han Yilin's. "You must be careful."

"okay." Han Yilin tidied up the blanket that covered Li Wenru.

After making sure that no one would interfere, Han Yilin walked out of the room.

Kong Li had been waiting outside.

Looking at the others, Han Yilin immediately became wary.

"How do I get out of this place?" Kong Li asked directly to the point.

Han Yilin, as a Crown Prince, was very famous in the underground mines. The newcomers who were very unwilling to become a quarry digger would come to him to find a way out.

They wanted to get out of this place where even the birds could not defecate. When they find out that no one can get out...

Han Yilin would always be a target. How could the Crown Prince not have a way out?

In fact even Han Yilin was unable to escape either.

Although the underground mine looked like a barren wasteland, this underground mine was actually surrounded by a huge formation. And most importantly, there was no spiritual energy within the formation.

Even if they could destroy the chains on their wrists, there would be no spiritual energy in the air that could fill the energy void within their bodies. The underground mine was a real place of isolation.

"If you want to get out, you need to get out of formation."

"What formation?"

"It's a Trap Formation." Seeing that Kong Li did not intend to fight, Han Yilin easily provided information.

"Is there anyone guarding outside?"

"Of course."

"What about their cultivation?"

"The most powerful are in the Mahayana stage." In order to prevent outsiders from finding this mine, they sent cultivators at the Mahayana stage.

Kong Li frowned, his cultivation was now only in the Yuanying stage. Fighting a Mahayana cultivator, is like hitting a rock with an egg.

Sighing, Kong Li felt like he still had to wait for Feng Mo to wake up. Feng Mo definitely had many ways in his brain.

"Is the mine really going to collapse?"

"Yes, there's a land shift under the mine."

After thanking Han Yilin, Kong Li walked away.

Han Yilin was slightly stunned by Kong Li's departure. Didn't expect this newcomer to be so easy to talk.

Kong Li returned to the room.

Looking at the phoenix that was still in a coma, Kong Li inevitably poked Feng Mo's body.

"When are you gonna wake up? I need your help."

The black feather of Feng Mo's phoenix was extremely dark. If there was no sunlight or moonlight, Kong Li could not even see Feng Mo's whereabouts on the table at night.

Kong Li leaned against the wall of the room.

The mine is surrounded by formations. Kong Li was unable to understand how the formation worked. If he knew that he would end up like this, Kong Li felt that he would have to study again in the future.

Even if he had no talent as a Formation Master, at least he would still have to know some things, such as how to destroy a formation, rather than knowing nothing.

A few days passed as usual. Until one day, suddenly the ground shook violently.

Kong Li stabilized himself and immediately ran out. People were panicking and scattering out following in Kong Lu's footsteps.

"What's going on?!"

"Earthquake!"

"Is the mine really going to collapse?!"

Kong Li saw that not only did the hole belong to them, but to others as well.

The ground trembled as if thousands of people were stomping their feet simultaneously. Suddenly something crossed his mind. How could he forget?

Kong Li hurried off to look for the officer.

The leader of the mine is currently seen being surrounded by several muscular people. This was the first time Kong Li had seen the miners from elsewhere.

"How do you not know what happened?!" One of them gripped the neck of the leader's robe.

The leader had a pale face. "It really has nothing to do with mine! Not a mine that's gonna collapse!"

"Then how do you explain this earthquake?!"

The leader was completely stifled, unable to answer. Indeed the leader had long regretted until his intestines turned green. If he hadn't offended someone, he wouldn't have been moved to a place like this.

Where even spiritual energy was not in the air.

"Who knows?! It has nothing to do with the mine! And no one could see out of the formation!"

"You!"

The man was so angry, that he wanted to hit someone. He had been in this underground mine for almost five years. Fortunately due to his shrewdness, he had obtained a lot of information all along.

Like why mine diggers always change batch by batch. Why there is no real dispute between miners and officers. Also why doesn't anyone dare to get out of the mine even if the officers don't care.

But now that something he didn't know happened, he was really afraid that something might endanger him and all his efforts would go to waste. So he became more irritable.

"Bai Hong, don't make a fuss."

The man called Bai Hong snorted towards the source of the voice. "Han Yilin, if you have the ability, don't just interrupt my good deeds!"

"There's no point in you hitting people right now." Han Yilin frowned.

More than half of the underground quarry diggers came from the original inhabitants of Hua Kingdom. So it was no wonder that he found many acquaintances.

The rest were ordinary people or some loose cultivators sold by black organizations.

Bai Hong in front of him was one of the descendants of a noble family. But Han Yilin did not have much feelings towards these nobles.

If he did not see Bai Hong's shrewdness and cunning after coming to this place, Han Yilin would not have made a little friendship with him.

Kong Li did not want to continue seeing meaningless commotion, so he had to get out of the crowd. He walked straight towards Han Yilin.

Seeing the appearance of Kong Li, the people involved were a little displeased.

"How close is this place to the border of the demon clan territory? "

But as soon as Kong Li's voice fell, a gripping silence immediately enveloped the crowd of onlookers.
