Invincible Immortal Cultivator in the City-Chapter 578 - 577: Mine

The Flame Winged Dragon had a baffled expression; his dragon face was full of question marks.

He couldn’t understand at all what Lin Hao was saying, but Lin Hao had already strode away.

"Did I really draw such an amazing rune?" the Flame Winged Dragon wondered as he stared at the small but deep hole on the ground, lost in thought.

Lin Hao hadn’t walked far when Lin Guodong arrived with people.

The explosion just now was too powerful; it could be seen from hundreds of miles away, and naturally, Lin Guodong had also seen it.

Lin Hao briefly explained, but without going into detail, he simply informed Lin Guodong that he was going to leave for a while and instructed Lin Guodong to be vigilant.

Lin Guodong calculated the time; Zhou Pangu and the Elf Princess had returned to the Elf Country together. Their mission was to persuade Elf Country to muster the troops of the entire country for a joint assault on Gu Country Imperial City.

Now, Lin City Camp also needed to produce ammunition, which required time. With all things considered, some days were still needed before the day of the final assault.

However, Lin Guodong’s only concern was that Lin City Camp might be subject to a surprise attack.

Scouts reported that the Gu Emperor had already issued a challenge, inviting the nearby five countries to send troops, claiming that he wanted a decisive battle with the Earth people at Gu Country Imperial City. freewebnσvel.cøm

What Lin Guodong feared was that the troops from these five countries might arrive swiftly, and it would be troublesome if Lin Hao wasn’t there.

Nonetheless, Lin Hao had to leave; he had already made up his mind.

Liu Chuixue would stay behind to guard the camp, and it should not be a problem; he and the Flame Winged Dragon would leave—to go to the mine!

At the Gu Country Mine, there were hundreds of thousands of Earth slaves, and Lin Hao now felt that if he and the Flame Winged Dragon took action together, they might achieve a surprising effect, catch the enemy off-guard, and rescue the people.

When he heard that they were going to rescue people, Lin Guodong was also excited.

He took out a token from his body and handed it to Lin Hao, "This is my former City Lord Token. If the Sect Hierarch reaches the mine, with this token, my followers are still there; they will listen to the Sect Hierarch’s orders."

Lin Hao took the token and nodded. Seeing Lin Guodong’s storage ring, he suddenly slapped his head, remembering something.

"How could I forget that?"

He immediately took out the Divine Cauldron and turned it upside down on the ground.

Gululu, a person fell out from inside the Divine Cauldron.

"Wan... Princess..." Lin Guodong took a close look and immediately widened his eyes in disbelief, unconsciously uttering two words and then realizing something was off, he quickly corrected himself.

"This is the Gu Emperor’s favorite Imperial Princess; I can’t believe the Sect Hierarch has captured her!" Lin Guodong was excited and immediately rushed forward, sealing the acupoints around Gu Princess Wan.

"This person is extraordinary; she is the most talented of the younger generation of the Gu Royal Family and also the Gu Emperor’s favorite. With her here, our fellow Earth people in Gu Country Imperial City should be quite safe!" Lin Guodong was filled with excitement; he already knew that inside Gu Country Imperial City, tens of thousands of Earth women had been sold into slavery and prostitution.

"This is now up to you; I’ll set off now." Lin Hao was not particularly pleased; he gave a few simple instructions, then went to find the Flame Winged Dragon and headed to the Gu Country Mine.

The Gu Country Mine, located in a distant mountainous area, was a key area of Gu Country, generally not allowed for ordinary people or other races to enter.

These days, the wind direction at Gu Country had changed, causing some unrest around the mine.

However, it wasn’t the hundreds of thousands of Earth people slaves stirring, but rather the garrison here.

Guarding the mine was one of Gu Country’s elite forces, commanded by none other than the Gu Emperor’s brother, also a cultivator with Emperor-level strength and a Prince in his own right.

As Lin Hao emerged from the Lin City Camp, the skies above the Gu Country Mine were dreary and oppressive, as if they were about to collapse.

"The weather’s not looking good. Today, this king will not inspect the mines. Fetch the beauties and bring up the wine and meat!"

The mining fortress was built against the mountain, practically a fortress enclosing the mountains themselves. At this moment, Gu Country’s Prince Tito, stepped out from his luxurious dwelling, glanced at the sky, took a deep breath, and with a smile, commanded.

"Your Highness, there has been a rebellion recently in Gu Country, even the Imperial City was attacked. The emperor has sent an envoy to tell us to strengthen our defenses," said Han Si’er, the bodyguard, obsequiously following behind Prince Tito with his head bowed.

"Rebellion? Haha, my emperor brother is too arrogant, even his own hometown was attacked, what a fool," Prince Tito sneered dismissively and proudly added, "This mine fortress is the real fortress of the empire—its defenses are a million times stronger than those of the Imperial City! Without my permission, no one can leave this place, nor can anyone enter!"

Prince Tito chuckled, "With that being the case, what should this prince fear? What should I fear? Go, summon all my beauties. Today, I shall drink to my heart’s content and rest my head on the knees of a beauty."

"Yes," Han Si’er quickly responded and turned to arrange the feast.

But just as he turned, a tumultuous shouting erupted from below the fortress.

"Who the hell dares to ruin this king’s mood?" Prince Tito hadn’t even reached his banquet venue when he heard the disturbing noise, furrowing his brows in displeasure.

He turned around, stood atop the mountain, and from behind the fortress’s solid walls, peered downward and shouted angrily, "Not mining? What the hell is wrong now! Do you think I look too kind and am easy to speak to?!!"

"Reporting to Your Majesty! It’s the Earth slaves causing another strike!" shouted a soldier from below the fortress.

A strike?

Prince Tito’s brows furrowed, and a surge of anger rose within him.

Ever since the Earthlings had been brought to work as slaves in the mines, there had been an increase in labor force, but the only problem was these Earthlings frequently caused trouble, always striking and demanding some sort of human rights.

Prince Tito clenched his fist, his face darkening.

Human rights?

How can slaves demand human rights?

"Overfed, are they!" Prince Tito cursed, "Beat the troublemaking slaves, and don’t let them eat today!"

"Your Majesty, these slaves didn’t eat yesterday, nor today, they say they are starving, that’s why they’re striking," replied the soldier below.

Prince Tito was stunned, then enraged!

"Doesn’t buying food cost money? Doesn’t procuring grain cost something? These Earthlings deserve to die! Starve them for three to five days, will they still cause trouble then?"

Prince Tito gnashed his teeth and suddenly laughed, "Han Si’er, no need for singing and dancing today. I’m tired of the daily delights of beauties and wine. Today, I want something fresh."

Prince Tito chuckled with a flicker of excitement and bloodthirst in his eyes.

He strode down towards the fortress, ordering loudly as he went, "Bring out those causing trouble, and those who are planning to—bring them all to the execution ground!!"

The military guards of Gu Country guarding the mine didn’t know what the Prince intended, they only knew that these were tense times in Gu Country, necessitating heightened defense.

But seeing the mood of the Prince, no one dared to dampen his spirits.

Soon, over a thousand rag-clad, filthy Earth slaves, barely recognizable as human, were escorted out by the guard troops.
