The Valley of Winter Sun used to be the lair of some ferocious beasts. Because of the large number of ferocious beasts, no one had ever discovered it.
A few months ago, a powerful warrior was being hunted down. He snuck into the valley to hide from his enemies. By accident, he discovered that there was treasure hidden in the valley.
The treasure was a strange kind of crystals, which were rare. Of the entire Wind Land, only three places had them. This was the fourth one, and there was a large amount of them.
After the warrior escaped, he realized that he could not take possession of the treasure on his own. Therefore, he used this information as a proof of loyalty and joined the Huang Family. He became a patriarch of the Huang Family.
After the warrior killed his enemies, the Huang Family sealed off the place. They did not start mining. Instead, they sent someone to set up runes here. They planned to seal off the place and start mining later.
Little did they expect that Lu Li would come here by chance and kill the two powerful patriarchs guarding here so easily.
Lu Li went into the valley and noticed many runes. He used psychic power to check but found nothing. There was nothing in the valley.
"There are runes underground!"
Lu Li went down and found that the entire bottom of the valley was covered with runes.
He let out the Saint King's daughter at once. Her hand glowed as a blood-red tentacle reached out and pierced into the ground.
A moment later, Blood Fairy sent a voice transmission: "Master, there are many black crystals under the divine patterns. En … those crystals contain very pure energy. They should be very high-grade crystals."
Blood Fairy did not know about the crystals so she told Lu Li what she found. Without any hesitation, Lu Li asked Blood Fairy to crack the runes.
The runes were not of high level. They were just to prevent others from exploring the treasures.
In the time for 10 breaths, Blood Fairy had cracked all the runes.
Lu Li could sense with psychic power as well. There were many black crystals in the ground. They came in clusters and each cluster contained dozens of crystals.
"Hoy!"
Lu Li generated a huge hand claw and dug a hole in the ground.
He locked on to a cluster of crystals and grabbed all the mud and stones in an area with a radius of three feet.
"Crack, crack, crack ~"
Maybe it was because Lu Li's claw was too powerful. Half of the crystals in the ball were shattered. Those crystals should be fragile and could be broken easily.
Lu Li didn't know what this type of crystal was. He took one out from the stone and found it quite beautiful. There was indeed pure energy contained in it and it was powerful.
"Put it away first!"
Lu Li didn't think too much about it. He put it into the Separation Bead and then released more and more hand shadows to dig out more and more crystals from the ground.
Every time Lu Li did this, a small part of the crystals would crack. Lu Li thought it was a pity but he didn't mind.
The main reason was that his soul was very weak, and he didn't want to waste too much energy.
In addition, the Huang family might send people over, so they had to finish digging as soon as possible and leave as soon as possible.
After an hour of digging, the upper part was almost cleared out. Lu Li had obtained tens of thousands of crystals. He could tell with psychic power that there were tens of thousands more but they were in a deep place.
After giving it some thought, he flew up into the air. First, he slapped out a huge palm to flatten the nearby mountain range. Then, he condensed a huge claw that was over 100 zhang in length and pulled out the soil and rocks below layer by layer.
After hundreds of times, a huge pit had appeared. It was more than one hundred thousand feet deep and tens of thousands of feet in diameter.
Most of the crystals were dug out by Lu Li. But it was a pity that at least half of the crystals in there were shattered because of the force of grabbing was too strong.
"Whoosh, whoosh ~"
From the distance came three noises. The three patriarchs of the Huang Family were here.
They checked with psychic power and saw the situation in the Winter Sun Valley. They trembled and almost fell from the sky.
They saw many broken pieces of crystals in the mud and stones and the bodies of the two patriarchs who were guarding here. The three of them trembled with anger.
The death of the two patriarchs was not a big deal. How could so many precious crystals be destroyed?
There were only a few places of crystals like this at the entire Godly Wind Land.
The reason why the Huang Family wasn't in a hurry to mine was that the crystals were fragile and they didn't want to damage the mineral roots here.
As long as the mineral roots were not damaged, they could continue to produce crystals.
Not only had Lu Li destroyed more than half of the crystals, but he had also destroyed the mineral roots. How could the three patriarchs stay calm?
The three patriarchs' eyes reddened. They dashed toward Lu Li in a frenzy.
The three of them regretted not stopping Lu Li before.
"Buzzing ~"
Lu Li could not afford to be careless when facing three warriors at the middle stage of the fourth tribulation. He let out the daughter of Saint King at once.
He ordered Blood Fairy to kill all three of them if they insisted on fighting to the death.
After so many years, Lu Li had hardened his heart.
As long as they were enemies, there was nothing to be said. It was either you or me.
If you didn't kill others, others would kill you.
The daughter of Saint King did not have a strong energy but she was fast. She reached the three patriarchs in an instant.
Her eyes were devoid of human emotions and her beautiful face left a deep impression on the three patriarchs.
"Whoosh!"
The Holy Emperor's daughter stretched out a small hand and swatted an elder's head.
That patriarch was not a good-for-nothing. He took out a pagoda and smashed it toward the daughter of Saint King.
"Bang ~"
When the Heavenly Emperor's daughter slapped the pagoda, the pagoda was sent flying.
The daughter of Saint King sped up all of a sudden. Her beautiful hand landed on the patriarch's head.
At the same time, the other two patriarchs struck at the daughter of Saint King's shoulder and back respectively.
However, the daughter of Saint King's body was strong. Not only was she unharmed, but her dress was not torn either.
The patterns on her dress were glistening. Clearly, it was a piece of valuable treasure.
"Bang!"
The head of the elder who was hit exploded and he died instantly. The remaining two elders looked at each other, their eyes filled with fear.
They did not use their strongest moves but they were strong nonetheless. Yet, they could not inflict any harm on the daughter of Saint King. On the other hand, the daughter of Saint King had killed one of their own.
"Run —"
The two patriarchs were not stubborn. Without any hesitation, they ran to the left and the right.
Blood Fairy did not go after them. Lu Li had said that if the two were not fighting to the death, then there was no need to kill them.
When the two were gone, Lu Li released some more claws to collect some crystals. He asked Blood Fairy to collect the Interspatial Rings of the three fourth tribulation warriors he killed.
"Let's go!"
He hopped onto Master of Phantom's shoulder, put away the daughter of Saint King, and flew away in a blur.
Half a day after Lu Li left, over a dozen battleships came. Not only were there tens of thousands of warriors on board, but there were also dozens of fourth tribulation warriors.
"How dare you!"
