Chapter 687 - 687: He Must Have Been Possessed

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The leader Jiang Hao replaced in this place was an ordinary disciple of the Blackheaven Sect’s inner sect.

After reaching the Foundation Establishment Realm, his cultivation hadn’t made much progress, so he came to the mining site in search of a job. He hoped to find opportunities here.

He arrived and never left, and before he knew it, it had been several decades.

During this time, he progressed from the early stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm to the late stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm.

He was only one step away from reaching the Golden Core Realm.

It wasn’t because he had any extraordinary encounters. It was mainly because he was ruthless in dealing with matters and gained many benefits from the mining site.

Jiang Hao took notice of this and decided to replace him.

If someone was just an honest cultivator, he didn’t want to have conflicts with them.

He didn’t want to disrupt their peaceful lives.

Ruthless people usually brought a lot of trouble. Jiang Hao had considered that already.

But little did he know that there was more to the situation.

He glanced at the miners around him and found that the person standing next to him was ignored by the others.

He realized that this person had always been like this, and he might have allowed him to do that.

Upon closer observation, he found that the miner in front of him looked like he was in his thirties or forties and was at the early stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm.

He felt like he had seen this person somewhere before.

“How long have you been in the mine?” Jiang Hao suddenly asked.

The miner qppmpd Rllrnriqpd HP didn’t nndprqtnnd whv thiq qpninr

suddenly asking that question. “About fourteen years,” he said truthfully.

Jiang Hao nodded.

The other person, however, seemed to be somewhat worried. “Senior, are you going to make a decision soon?”

“Let’s wait and see for now. There is no rush,” Jiang Hao casually said.

Indeed, there was no rush. He didn’t know how long he would have to stay here, so he might as well start mining first.

The other things didn’t concern him.

For now, he just decided to stall for time.

Seeing this, the miner didn’t say anything more.

“It seems like he still has some time to spare,” Jiang Hao muttered to himself in silence.

If the person appeared anxious, it meant that whatever decision he was asking about was indeed urgent.

That would make things difficult for everyone.

As they entered the mine, the people around them began mining.

The treatment of the miners here was similar to that in the Heavenly Note Sect.

The only difference was that there was no Lawless Tower here to suppress people and lower their cultivation.

So, there were many restrictions on miners at the Foundation Establishment Realm. Once they started working, it was easy to trigger them.

If they could advance to the Golden Core Realm, they could leave the mining site. However, Jiang Hao wasn’t concerned about that.

Mining began, and Jiang Hao watched from the side. He was in no hurry to participate.

After waiting for a while and making sure that there were no issues around, he approached the ore and gently touched it.

He felt that the ores here were harder than in the usual places.

“Senior, at this rate, we might not be able to meet our quota for this month,” said a Foundation Establishment Realm disciple who looked to be in his thirties.

Jiang Hao turned to look at him. It seemed like he had reached a dead end and was trying to find some opportunities here.

They locked eyes for a moment, and the junior quickly lowered his head and apologized. He then said he was sure that the senior might have his own arrangements.

Jiang Hao felt that the person in front of him was particularly afraid of the person he had disguised himself as.

“What arrangements do you think I have?” he asked.

“Like letting these people work faster and catching up in half a month…” the Foundation Establishment Realm disciple said.

Jiang Hao observed the others carefully, and he realized that the miners’ conditions were not good.

Their physical health was below average, which was why their output was low.

The miners trembled in fear.

“Do you think that’s fair?” Jiang Hao asked.

“Senior Brother, your decision will always be right,” said the Foundation Establishment Realm disciple.

Jiang Hao sighed inwardly. He realized that this senior must have been a ruthless person before.

“Let’s just work as usual for now, and you keep an eye on them.” Jiang Hao shook his head and took out his mining tools.

Then, he started digging.

Clang!

Clang!

One rock after another fell to the ground.

As the ores fell, white bubbles appeared.

[Strength +1]

[Stamina +1]

It had been a long time since he had last dug up ores.

As he absorbed the bubbles, Jiang Hao felt some of his frustration and anxiety being washed away.

Finally, he was on the right path in life.

He didn’t like scheming and fighting. He didn’t like killing others.

If circumstances hadn’t forced him, there would be no blades in his hands.

If he could keep mining like this, he wouldn’t have any complaints.

After that, he stopped thinking and began mining.

The collision of the pickaxe with the rocks sounded very clear. His speed and strength were remarkable.

The people around him looked on with fearful expressions.

However, they quickly started mining and attempted to keep up with his pace.

They knew that if they didn’t keep up, there would be trouble.

However, Jiang Hao was physically fit. How could the tired miners keep up with him?

In just an hour, many of them had returned to their previous speed or were even slower than before.

Everyone braced themselves for the torment they would suffer.

They waited for the supervisor to stop digging.

Noon arrived, and they thought it was time.

However, the supervisor continued digging. contemporary romance

They thought he would have stopped by now, but he didn’t.

In the evening, it was time to eat, and the supervisor finally stopped.

But he only said one thing and resumed mining.

“Everyone, have your meal and rest, then continue.”

The supervisor didn’t eat.

He continued mining.

After dinner, as they listened to the supervisor’s sounds of digging, they felt increasingly uneasy.

It had been a whole day. What torment would they have to endure later?

At night, the mining site was about to close.

Reluctantly, Jiang Hao put away his tools.

Today’s harvest was good. He had obtained two blue bubbles.

The Blackheaven Sect indeed had remarkable resources.

“Work is done for today. We’ll continue tomorrow,” Jiang Hao said as he looked at everyone.

The miners all lowered their heads and dared not look him in the eye.

They had waited to be punished, but five days had passed like that.

They realized that the supervisor had done nothing other than mining, and he even reminded them to take breaks while he continued to work.

Was this really the same supervisor?

He must have been possessed by something..
