Chapter 1294 An Ancient Relic? A Group Secretly Cut into the Mountian…

“Okay.”

He Gaoming was pleasantly surprised when he learned that John Doe would use the relic to elevate their strength.

Ancient ruins…

He had heard so much about them. There were many mysterious stories about ancient relics. According to the legends, these ancient ruins contained preserved treasures left by great ancient talents like ancient techniques and countless precious items. People who encountered them could experience a magical, meteoric rise.

As a part of Wulin…

He Gaoming was no less curious about ancient ruins than anyone else.

To his dismay…

He wasn’t powerful enough.

After a long wait, he finally heard that a relic had emerged in Zangjiang. However, he didn’t dare to take a look at it. On the contrary, he had to hide for his safety and that of his brothers.

But these ancient ruins he had never dared to approach were on his mind day and night!

He couldn’t get near or see one. However, the harder the reality, the more curious He Gaoming was about ancient ruins.

In Jiaxiang County…

He almost went into the mountains to look for the relic, but he wasn’t courageous enough.

And now…

Upon hearing John Doe’s words, he was overcome with unexpected joy.

He began to pray crazily in his heart. “It must be an ancient relic in Jiaxiang County!”

Soon…

The plane tickets were booked.

After that, Fang Qiu told the other brothers to go on practicing diligently. By further refining all the super Dan Pellets, they could continuously improve their cultivation. Then he and He Gaoming left the wine factory. They went to the nearest airport in Longquan and boarded the plane to Qilu Province.

Jiaxiang County…

It was in the northeast of Qilu Province, with Ginghang Grand Canal to its east.

As the birthplace of Chinese unicorns, it was regarded as a place blessed with good luck and happiness, from which it got its name!

Jiaxiang County was the birthplace of Huaxia’s filial piety culture. In addition, it was the hometown of a great sage of ancient Confucianism. He was respectfully called the ‘Divine Sage’ by later generations.

Also, this place was famous for its carved stones.

Fang Qiu and He Gaoming got off the plane at Qufu Airport and took the bus to Jiaxiang County.

There were all sorts of stone sculptures along the way.

Qufu Airport was actually very close to Jiaxiang County.

They arrived at their destination.

It was already 7:40 p.m. when they came out of the station in Jiaxiang County.

As soon as they got off the bus…

The two of them left the city directly.

Under He Gaoming’s guidance, they rushed all the way to a village.

Back then…

He Gaoming heard about the legend in that village, and villagers there had witnessed unusual lights and rumblings of thunder among the mountains nearby.

Fang Qiu didn’t think that place must be in Jiaxiang County. After all, it had been thousands of years since Zengzi lived in his hometown. Along with all kinds of construction and development in the past thousands of years, Jiaxiang County might no longer be in its original place. Perhaps, Jiaxiang County in ancient times was located in that mountain village.

They didn’t enter the village.

Swiftly, they approached the mountain.

Right now…

It was already past eight o’clock in the evening.

“It’s that mountain!”

After passing by the village, He Gaoming quickly led Fang Qiu to a few mountains, and pointing to them, he said, “The villagers said lights and muffled thunder were seen and heard in that mountain forest.”

“Have you ever seen it yourself?”

Fang Qiu asked.

He Gaoming was just about to answer.

Abruptly…

“Buzz.”

As He Gaoming had said, a rumble of thunder echoed from the mountain ahead.

Fang Qiu looked up.

As expected, he saw faint light between the mountains.

“That’s the scene as described by the villagers.”

He Gaoming immediately called out as he gestured ahead.action

“Let’s go!”

Without wasting any time, Fang Qiu grabbed He Gaoming by his collar, got in position, and flew up. Instantly, they zoomed toward the place between the mountains where the lights appeared.

“Whoosh, whoosh…”

The piercing sounds of wind whistled by He Gaoming’s ears.

Feeling the lightning speed of their travel, He Gaoming couldn’t help but sigh with emotion, “When can I fly freely like you?”

“One day, you will make it.”

Fang Qiu said with a smile.

In a blink of an eye…

Fang Qiu flashed into the place among the mountains with He Gaoming.

Unexpectedly…

They had just entered there.

“Bang!”

Another clap of muffled thunder rang out, followed by an incomparably weird sound of something breaking through the air.

“Whiz!”

Accompanied by this ear-piercing sound, something shot toward Fang Qiu and He Gaoming like a hidden weapon.

“Get out of the way!”

As soon as they landed, Fang Qiu pushed He Gaoming away. Then he mobilized his internal Qi, which instantly wrapped around his palm. Suddenly, he reached out and grabbed the object that shot toward him.

“A stone?”

Upon closer inspection, Fang Qiu’s eyebrows shot up.

The stone was still a little warm.

“Something’s not right!”

Fang Qiu shook his head. threw the stone on the ground and said, “Let’s go in and have a look.”

After that…

He moved forward right away.

He Gaoming followed closely behind.

Soon…

They entered the depths of the mountain and went closer to the place where flashes of light were seen. Then, the scene there left them rooted to the ground.

“Is this the relic you’re telling me about?”

Looking ahead, Fang Qiu turned his head speechlessly and asked He Gaoming.

He Gaoming took a closer look.

He was instantly embarrassed.

The flashes came from lights.

The claps of dull thunder were not mysterious sounds at all — they were from detonators ignited by some people.

Before them…

A gang was secretly drilling the mountain and blowing up rocks!

Inside, a group of people sneakily chipped away the rocks on the mountain, and they worked away with great enthusiasm.

They must have deliberately fabricated the legend to avoid being discovered. In this way, none of these villagers dared to go deep into the mountains. Then, they could cut into mountains and steal these stones more freely!

When He Gaoming saw the scene before him…

He immediately felt embarrassed!

Initially, he thought it was a relic, but he didn’t expect to come across these stone robbers. He had been so pleased and excited on the way here that his heart kept singing. However, such an embarrassing discovery came as an utter surprise.

It was so humiliating.

“Damn it!”

Embarrassed to the extreme, He Gaoming erupted with fury and growled at these people. “How dare you cut the mountain and steal the stones? Clear waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets of our country. Don’t you know that? How can you be so inconsiderate to our future generations? Stealing resources from our state is courting death!”

In a fit of anger…

He Gaoming darted out, not daring to look into Fang Qiu’s eyes.

He rushed to the quarry and shouted angrily, “Who is the leader here? Get out of here immediately!”

The workers in the quarry were stunned.

They all stopped and turned to look at He Gaoming blankly.

“Listen, who is in charge here?”

He Gaoming raised his voice and growled out his question again.

At this point…

“What’s up?”

Not far away, crowbar in hand, a middle-aged man with a yellow helmet walked out of a simple tent set up on the grass.

“What are you doing here?”

When he came out of the tent, the middle-aged man arrogantly strutted to He Gaoming with the crowbar in his hand. After a disdainful snort, he said, “Boy, do you know you’re asking for trouble in my place? So, are you tired of living?”

As soon as he issued this threat…

“Clap!”

He Gaoming raised his right hand and slapped the man hard in the face and made him stagger back a few steps.

“You?”

The middle-aged man became furious and brandished his crowbar to deliver a heavy blow.

“Clap!”

After getting another ringing slap on the face, the man spun around and collapsed to the ground.

At this time…

Clasping various tools in their hands, the group of workers in the quarry came closer, intending to surround He Gaoming.

In such a scary situation…

He Gaoming was not in the least bothered at all.

He went forward, grabbed the collar of the person in charge, and lifted him. Then, he smashed him violently onto the ground and kicked him hard like a ball, and sent him flying five or six meters away. At last, the man collided with a big stone.

Those workers scurried over.

They unleashed all their ferocity.

“Humph!”

He Gaoming turned his head and looked at the group of people running over. Then he glanced around and saw a stone as large as a bucket. Instantly, he delivered a ferocious kick, hurled this big stone high into the air and it flew toward the group.

This daunting scene startled the workers.

Everyone stood transfixed with shock!

It was such a heavy stone.

No ordinary person could pick it up with both hands. In fact, even the most muscular man of usual strength in this world might not be able to do it. Yet, this man here easily kicked it up into the air like kicking a rubber ball.

“So, what will happen if he kicks us?”

These workers were too scared to do anything.

No one dared to move an inch!

“You secretly blasted the mountains to take away the rocks?”

He Gaoming snorted and said, “You’ve broken the law. Just wait to be arrested!”

Right after that…

He took out his phone and called the police instantly in the presence of everyone.

Here…

Fang Qiu also came out of the mountain.

When He Gaoming saw him, he flushed again with embarrassment.

“We caught a group excavating the mountain and stealing the stones. This trip was not in vain, right? Otherwise, they might have emptied this mountain.”

To ease the embarrassment, He Gaoming hurriedly said this.

Upon hearing that…

Fang Qiu gave a speechless smile.

He looked around and was sure that there was nothing unusual here. This mountain abounded in deposits of stones. No wonder this black-hearted quarry had taken a fancy to the place.

However…

Similar legends had been circulating among nearby villages. Did the quarrying give rise to these incredible stories?

With this in mind…

Fang Qiu sent out his Divine Consciousness expectantly.

As soon as he did that…

His eyebrows shot up instantly.

Then, he turned around and looked in another direction.

There was something strange about the Qi of Heaven and Earth that existed somewhere under that place.

When he detected this…

He was instantly stunned.

“Seriously? Is there really an ancient relic here?”

Fang Qiu wondered.

Soon…

The police arrived.

Because this place was in such a remote part of the mountain, the workers of the quarry couldn’t drive any cars there. Even those heavy pieces of mechanical equipment and tools seemed to have been transported by people. Therefore, even the police cars couldn’t get in.

In the end, a team of police officers climbed up the mountain and reached them.

“The robbers are here.”

When he saw the police, He Gaoming immediately went forward to explain the situation. Then he pointed to the middle-aged man whom he knocked down and said, “He is the person in charge.”

“Thank you.”

The police captain thanked He Gaoming and said, “We’ve been paying attention to them for a long time and wanted to capture them, but we could not get any information about them till now. I didn’t expect these guys to hide in such an isolated place and steal the stones!”

Soon, the police officers handcuffed all the robbers and took them away.

It was too late, so they could only take these people away first. Tomorrow morning, they would return to deal with these machines.
