Fangxian Heretical Path

Chapter 99 Storage Bag Lead Mountain Uprising
The mine owner is dead, so isn't this land at his disposal?

Fang Shu's heart skipped a beat, but he quickly suppressed the distracting thoughts in his mind.

The most urgent task is to get the benefits we can get our hands on first.

He immediately began to search the bodies of the wolf demon and the mine owner surnamed Cao.

A short while later, he managed to extract a few taels of spirit stones, several bottles of pills, and two black bills from the wolf demon's body.

But something surprising happened with the mine owner surnamed Cao: he didn't get a single spirit stone or a black bill.

However, Fang Shu did not come away empty-handed; he found a purse in the other person's sleeve pocket.

The purse is made of leather and is deep red in color. It is not an ordinary object, but a magical artifact imprinted with secret runes.

This design stirred something in Fang Shu's heart, and he thought to himself, "Could this be the legendary storage bag?!"

Storage bags are said to have the power to hold a vast amount of space within a small container. They are small in appearance but can hold a lot of space inside. They are an essential item for immortals when they are at home or traveling. Even children in the mortal world are very familiar with them.

Before entering the market, Fang Shu had already imagined that once he became an immortal and had a storage bag, he would definitely put all the daily necessities in the bag so that he would no longer have to carry a satchel all day long and worry about losing it, which was extremely troublesome.

Unfortunately, once he entered the market, he learned that storage bags were items reserved for cultivators of Qi Refining.

Rumors circulate in the market that anything in the world capable of taking on a large amount with a small one is a magical artifact of Qi Refining or higher level.

Such Qi-refining artifacts are difficult to purchase, not to mention whether the Qi-refining immortals have enough money and food. They lack both true Qi and divine sense, so even if they bought them, they would find it difficult to operate them.

Otherwise, the major merchants in Guling Town wouldn't have come up with black market notes, a kind of money-saving and storage device.

With a racing heart, Fang Shu realized this and stared intently at the corpse of the mine owner surnamed Cao.

He immediately dismissed the idea in his mind: "Impossible. This fiend could never be a Qi Refining Immortal."

Immediately, Fang Shu channeled his vital energy into the purse.

A buzzing sound.

The purse swayed on the spot, and Fang Shu vaguely sensed that there seemed to be a bunch of objects inside the purse, all of which were much larger than the purse itself.

However, he was separated from the items in his purse by a thick, blood-red membrane, and could not access them for the time being.

Even so, Fang Shu was still overjoyed:
"This thing is truly a storage bag! Could it be that even immortal cultivators who refine essence can use storage bags?"

Although he was delighted, he knew that now was not the time to properly study this object.

After briefly examining the item and finding no other tampering, Fang Shu placed it in a spare wooden box, secured it with a talisman, and then put it in his satchel.

Next, he dug out the wooden box containing the meat Ganoderma and put it into his satchel.

After looting the valuables, Fang Shu finally turned his gaze to the corpses of the wolf demon and the mine owner surnamed Cao on the ground.

After hesitating for only a moment or two, he decisively chose to abandon the remaining remains, and instead, carrying his crimson long tongue sword, rushed out of the cave.

Although both corpses were of the second level of the Tribulation and were quite valuable, they were too troublesome and cumbersome to carry around.

Rather than carrying it around and hindering his rapid looting of other valuables in the mine, it's better to leave it here and let the poisonous moss completely devour it, which will also help him destroy the evidence.

Whoosh.

Fang Shu's figure quickly appeared in front of the monsters guarding the tunnel.

"Boss! You're out...hehe."

The guarding monsters thought it was either the wolf demon or the mine owner surnamed Cao who came out, but what greeted them was a crimson, cold light.

Phew! Phew!

Fang Shu held his sword, exuding a fierce aura. He was like a tiger unleashed from its cage, mercilessly wreaking havoc.

As it walked out of the tunnel, wherever it went, the overseers, managers, cooks, and all sorts of chicken, duck, cat, and dog demons became its prey.

With the mine owner dead, things are bound to escalate.

What Fang Shu needs to do now is to act quickly and decisively, and to stir things up as much as possible, turning them into muddy waters to attract attention, and then take the opportunity to extricate himself.

He killed as he walked.

Because there were so many demons and their blood essence was so vast, he was even picky, only allowing the Long Tongue Sword to absorb the heart blood of these demons.

Before long, he fought his way from inside the tunnel to the outside.

The monsters also sensed a killer emerging from the mine tunnel and screamed:

"Disaster! Disaster is coming!"

"Quickly report to the authorities, someone is here to rob the mine."

Whoohoo!
The monsters lit trails of crimson smoke, which burned fiercely, serving two purposes: first, to call upon the other mines in the surrounding area for mutual assistance, and second, to urge the market to send people over as soon as possible.

Seeing this scene, Fang Shu realized that his decision to come out quickly was indeed the right one. If he had delayed any longer, and someone from the outside had come and trapped him in the mine tunnels, that would have been troublesome.

But now that he's out, things are easier to resolve.

Fang Shu shifted his gaze from the scattered monsters to the silent miners in the arena.

He covered his face and suddenly shouted:

"Righteous warriors, this place is a den of filth and evil, occupied by demons who eat people and mine. The evidence of their crimes is irrefutable, right here in the pit!"
"Gentlemen, follow me to slay the demon and seek justice!"

"Slay the demon! Slay the demon! Return my brother's hard-earned money!"

呲呲呲!
After shouting, Fang Shu took the Long Tongue Sword and used it as an ordinary sword, killing the two monsters in one go and kicking them onto the miners on both sides.

The miners and miners were so frightened that they retreated.

But his loud shout, especially the words "blood and sweat money," immediately ignited anger and greed in the eyes of the miners and miners.

However, the miners and miners were still somewhat hesitant and did not take immediate action.

The next moment, Fang Shu pounced on them and chopped off the shackles of the miners with a series of cracking sounds.

The situation changed immediately.

Whether it was anger, greed, or simply a desire to escape, these lowest-ranking members of the mine made their move.

"Monster! Try your grandfather's pickaxe."

"A bunch of monsters, daring to act like big shots."

Stimulated by the miners, the rest of the miners also became restless, and soon this restlessness turned into a riot.

Especially after they smashed the skulls of those monster overseers with their pickaxes, these miners and miners suddenly realized that the monster overseers were indeed nothing special.

Shouts of battle suddenly erupted in Cao's mine.

Because of the overwhelming scale of the operation, several nearby mine owners did not immediately come to the rescue, but instead observed the situation first.

Fang Shu took advantage of this chaos.

After capturing several monsters and interrogating them about the location of the mine owner surnamed Cao in the mine, he rushed to the place, smashed open the mine's money boxes and other items, and looted everything.

The amount of looted items was considerable and difficult to carry.

However, Fang Shu didn't intend to take everything. There were too many things, so he could only take the valuable ones. Standing on high ground, he immediately started throwing the items at the miners and miners whose faces were contorted with rage.

Ding-ding-ding-ding!

The talismans, ores, and spirit stones clattered incessantly, adding fuel to the fire.

The miners and miners who had already rioted experienced an unprecedented uprising.

Excited, ferocious roars echoed throughout the mine:

"Kill the demon! Kill the demon!"

Because there were an unusually large number of monsters in the Cao family's mine, the relationship between humans and monsters was extremely tense. The scale of their uprising was the largest and most intense in the Qianshan mine in the past decade.

The surrounding mine owners all changed their expressions, and they no longer had any intention of coming to the rescue of the Cao family's mine.

Because even the usually honest and unassuming miners and slaves in their mines were raising their heads.

Sparks seemed to fly in the eyes of these miners and miners, who stared intently at the place where the riot had begun.

"Quickly! Let's light the beacon fire too."

"Damn it, don't let the fire spread over here."

The mine owners shouted and yelled in a stern voice.

Someone else said, "Wait a minute, this kind of commotion is probably being instigated by someone!"

Immediately, someone burst out cursing: "Wait my ass! Is finding the person more important, or suppressing the situation?!"

Thus, the intensity of this riot completely exceeded Fang Shu's expectations.

Most of Qianshan was set ablaze with his "fire," turning it a bright red.

Under the night sky, desperate cries echoed endlessly. In more than a dozen mines, explosions had already occurred, and flames were rising.

The entire Qianshan Mountain resembled a coiled fire dragon, finally shaking its scales and baring its fangs.

This scene left Fang Shu speechless for a moment.
