Chapter 519
For a person like Ling Han, once his curiosity was piqued, it couldn't be stopped .
He certainly thought it strange . Those who entered the mineshaft—whether or not they'd ever cultivated before or if their cultivation was high or low—would definitely die suddenly on the following day as long they entered… unless one never came out .
What sort of power was this?
And what effects did the excavated ores have that would make Fire Emperor place such great importance on them, not hesitating to force the citizens to die to excavate it for him?
He decided to take a trip to the Imperial City . With his cultivation of the Flower Blossom Tier and battle prowess of thirteen stars, who in the entire Rain Country could pose a threat to him?
Finding out that Ling Han was headed to the Imperial City, the sisters obviously exulted . But Ling Han didn't bring that powerful subordinate—when only Hu Niu followed, they were dumbfounded .
What were you two going to do, sightseeing?
"Young Master Han, will you bring your precious subordinate?" Liu Feng Er suggested .
"That's right, that's right . That's the Imperial City: no shortage of the Spiritual Pedestal Tier elites, and the royal family even has Flower Blossom Tier elites keeping watch, enough to put you in your place within a second!" Liu Ru Er said impetuously .
"Heng, heng, Niu can fight ten!" Hu Niu said, unconvinced .
The sisters knew that Hu NIu was somewhat freakish, but definitely didn't think that this little girl could compare with them, let alone a Spiritual Pedestal or Flower Blossom Tier warrior . They urged Ling Han to bring Zhu Wu Jiu along .
"I said no need," Ling Han said smilingly . With a snap, he said, "Let's go . "
The sisters were helpless and could only set out, believing that after Ling Han bumped into a nail, he would still return to bring Zhu Wu Jiu; at the worst, it was just making one more trip .
The four set out, hastening towards the Imperial City .
For Ling Han, this was only a small trip . Hence, he didn't bring Liu Yu Tong and the others, believing that the matter would be settled within a few days .
After a few days, they arrived at the Imperial City .
Ling Han learned about Na Zhi Yan . He was an extremely mysterious person, suddenly appearing half a year ago, then becoming Fire Emperor's favorite, managing the excavation of the mineshaft .
Originally, no one took it to heart, but once the excavation began, problems arose; the miners would die suddenly the second day after coming out!
After flipping through historic records, they discovered that the mineshaft actually had problems long ago, so it was sealed up, yet it was reopened with Na Zhi Yan's suggestion . No one knew exactly what was produced inside the mineshafts, but crimson red rocks were send endlessly into the royal palace .
Although large amounts of miners suddenly died every few days, drawing the repeated objections of the courtiers, Fire Emperor was bent on having his way; he definitely wouldn't seal the mineshaft, and instead assembled citizens all over the country to enter the mineshaft .
First were convicts on death row, then normal convicts, and now those who were caught were sent right to the mineshaft . Those who didn't enter were executed on spot, making the people around the Imperial City on edge, living in fear .
"This Na Zhi Yan, who exactly is he, and what is he conspiring?" Ling Han couldn't help but be curious, but he decided to first go see the mineshaft .
"Let's go, we'll bring you to see an old love first!" Liu Ru Er grabbed onto Ling Han, bringing him to see Yun Shuang Shuang .
Yun Shuang Shuang was born at Cherishing Flower Pavilion, and so she also walked the old path in Fire Country . She bought an elegant manor in the Imperial City and would entertain some nobility, collecting a considerable entry fee . However, don't think of getting intimate with her—she only sold her art and not her body .
Her status was rising steadily, and countless people were willing to spend a great amount of money to hear her play a musical piece, verifying an old saying: what could not be acquired was the best .
