Li Yunxiao walked over.
The housekeeper said, “Mr. Yun, there is a guest outside the mansion who wants to see you. He says he is your friend.”
“you sure?”
“Sure!”
“Well, let him wait for a while.” Li Yunxiao said calmly.
He already knew in his mind that the man should be the guy named Zhao Feiyu.
Li Yunxiao was about to close the window when he suddenly thought of something and opened it again, saying with a smile, “Let him in.”
“Yes.”
The butler retreated respectfully and soon brought in a man.
This man was about thirty years old, with an upright figure, a strong face and bright eyes.
“Yunxiao!”
Zhao Feiyu shouted excitedly and rushed up quickly.
Li Yunxiao smiled and said, “Where have you been all these years, kid? Why didn’t you contact me?”
Zhao Feiyu excitedly held Li Yunxiao’s hand and said, “Brother Yun, it hasn’t been easy for me these past few years.”
Li Yunxiao patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: “I know that you are doing very well in the northwest. Not only did you establish the Zhao family, but you also discovered many secret treasures and unique mineral deposits in the northwest. This is all your ability to make money!”
“Brother Yun, you are getting smarter and smarter. You hit the nail on the head.”
Zhao Feiyu flattered him and said, “To be honest, Brother Yun, I came to Southern Xinjiang this time just to find you. You know I have been working on a project for a long time but to no avail. I was wondering how to solve it, but I didn’t expect to meet you by chance.”
Li Yunxiao was stunned and asked doubtfully: “Could it be that you have also built an industry in southern Xinjiang over the years?”
Zhao Feiyu said in distress: “I don’t have time to manage those things. I have squeezed out all the mineral veins in the northwest, so now I can only find someone to help me transport those things.”
Li Yunxiao suddenly realized, and said, “So that’s how it is.”
He thought, “Since you want to find someone to transport the ore, why don’t you come to me?”
“Looking for you?”
Zhao Feiyu was surprised and asked: “Do you also know how to refine weapons?”
Li Yunxiao shook his head and said, “I don’t understand.”
Zhao Feiyu said: “Then there is nothing I can do. I have been so worried for a while. If this business fails, no one will dare to hire me in the future.”
He sighed and said, “To be honest with you, Brother Yun, I encountered some bandits in the Southern Wilderness some time ago.”
“oh?”
Li Yunxiao’s pupils shrank and he asked, “What? You were also robbed?”
Zhao Feiyu said bitterly, “That’s right. Those guys relied on their status to bully the weak, and they also attacked my goods. They were so shameless. Fortunately, I was alert and dodged in advance, otherwise I would have suffered heavy losses.”
He recounted the incident, and Li Yunxiao’s brows showed anger. He said, “How dare you! There are also robbers in the Southern Wilderness. These robbers are so abominable. How dare they act like this!”
Zhao Feiyu sighed, “Yes, those bandits are so hateful. But I have no choice but to swallow my anger. I have been very frustrated these past few days.”
Li Yunxiao smiled and said, “Then let me help you vent your anger today.”
Zhao Feiyu was overjoyed and said, “Brother Yun, you want to help me teach those bandits a lesson? That’s great!”
Li Yunxiao smiled and said, “Of course it won’t be for nothing. Please give me the address and account book of the ore transporter.”
Zhao Feiyu took out a piece of paper and handed it to him, saying: “Brother Yun, you have to teach them a lesson and let them know what it means to be humble!”
Li Yunxiao nodded and said, “Don’t worry.”
He tore the note into pieces and threw it into the air, where it turned into ashes.
Zhao Feiyu said: “Brother Yun, you should change your clothes quickly, because we will be leaving soon.”
“Got it. Wait for me, I’ll be right out.”
Li Yunxiao quickly changed his clothes and went out.
In the living room in the yard, a thin young man in a blue shirt was sitting there drinking tea. It was the Zhao Feiyu from last night.
At this moment, Zhao Feiyu looked excited, as if he had already imagined the scenario in which he could take revenge.
“Brother Zhao, have you had any news in the past few days?”
Li Yunxiao walked into the living room and said with a smile, “I met your Zhao Feiyu last night, and he gave me this.”
As he spoke, he took out a letter from his arms and threw it to Zhao Feiyu.
Zhao Feiyu took the letter, took a closer look, and said, “Yes, this is indeed the letter from the Zhao family.” He handed the letter over and said, “Brother Yun, don’t worry, I will definitely return the things you gave me intact, without any mistakes.”
Li Yunxiao smiled and said, “You are a very loyal boy. Please give me the address of your mine.”
Zhao Feiyu said: “The address is fine, but it requires 30,000 spirit coins.”
“Spirit coins?” Li Yunxiao frowned and asked, “You mean, 30,000 gold coins?”
Zhao Feiyu said: “Yes, without so many spirit coins, I can’t afford to continue mining, let alone develop a business.”
He smiled bitterly and said, “Even if I have money now, I’m afraid I can’t buy so many things.”
Li Yunxiao frowned and thought for a moment, then smiled and said, “Thirty thousand spirit coins is not a big problem, but I always like to keep a low profile and I am not used to causing trouble.”
“Then what are you going to do?” Zhao Feiyu asked hurriedly.
Li Yunxiao said: “You don’t have to worry about this matter. I have sent people to investigate.”
“Oh? When will you come back?” Zhao Feiyu asked.
“It’s unclear, but it shouldn’t take too long.”
Li Yunxiao smiled and said, “By the way, how many mineral veins do you have?”
Zhao Feiyu said: “There are more than 500 mineral veins in the entire southern border, and each piece of ore is of excellent quality.” He paused and continued: “Brother Yun, you are not going to let me move the mineral veins, are you?”
He knew his own limitations and knew he couldn’t carry so many mineral veins.
Li Yunxiao smiled and said, “Yes. This is a big deal. As long as you move the mineral vein out, this money will be enough. I promise to give you half of the profit.”
Zhao Feiyu’s eyes widened in surprise, “Brother Yun, are you kidding me?”
Li Yunxiao laughed and said, “Do you think I’m a joker?”
Zhao Feiyu fell silent, as if he was pondering over what Li Yunxiao had said.
Li Yunxiao said: “Okay, it’s settled. Just give me the address of the mine and the account book. Also, send someone to keep an eye on those forces in the Southern Wilderness. I want to know what they are doing.”
“Yes, Brother Yun.” Zhao Feiyu responded and hurried out.
After staying in the yard for a while, Li Yunxiao also left the manor.
He did not return to the city, but headed straight towards the southern wilderness.
On the way, he decided that the place he wanted to go was a remote town in southern Xinjiang.
It was a trading area in the Southern Wilderness, sparsely populated and surrounded by desolate mountains and wilderness, so no one dared to act rashly.
If Zhao Feiyu’s ore transportation business is successful this time, he will have the opportunity to obtain a large amount of resources.
After all, that mineral vein is worth a thousand top-grade spirit stones, which is of astonishing value.
When he dug out tens of thousands of high-quality spirit stones from the ancient tomb, he felt a great pain in his heart.
A month later, Li Yunxiao appeared in a desolate place in the southern wilderness. Looking at the land in front of him, he felt a little excited.
This is a small town in the Southern Wilderness. Due to the vast area and its location on the border of the Southern Wilderness, there are not many people in this area. It is basically a declining small village.
However, in this small town, there is a huge mountain hidden, called “Black Wind Gorge”, which is an extremely dangerous area in the southern wilderness.
It is said that countless corpses were buried here, including those at the level of Martial Emperor, Martial King, and even corpses at the level of Divine Lord.
Rumor has it that several decades ago, a powerful man discovered a giant jade here, which attracted many powerful martial arts masters to besiege him and eventually killed him, and the jade disappeared without a trace.
The existence of Black Wind Gorge was listed as a taboo and no one dared to approach it, so it gradually became deserted.
Li Yunxiao stood outside the Black Wind Gorge, his eyes flashing with coldness. An enormous pressure enveloped the entire Black Wind Gorge. The strong winds around made the branches tremble violently, and dust rolled. The entire Black Wind Gorge looked extremely gloomy.
“Um?!”
Suddenly, Li Yunxiao raised his brows and his expression became solemn. He looked into the Black Wind Gorge and a familiar aura instantly locked onto it.
The corners of his mouth curved slightly as he murmured, “Finally found it!” His figure flashed and he rushed directly into the canyon.
Deep in the Black Wind Gorge, there is a dark cave with uneven walls and a bumpy ground.
There is a stone tablet at the entrance of the cave, on which are written three ancient and vicissitudes of life characters: Black Wind Mountain.
The Black Wind Gorge is located on the Black Wind Cliff. The magma in the belly of the mountain is constantly gushing out, and it is difficult for ordinary cultivators to enter. Only those with the strength to reach the peak of the Martial Emperor can barely pass through.
The temperature of the magma in Black Wind Mountain is extremely high. Even a strong man at the peak of Martial Emperor will be reduced to nothing once he is touched by a trace of fire.
However, Li Yunxiao was protected by the frost and cold air and was not afraid of the hot magma in the Black Wind Gorge at all.
At this moment, he was standing in front of the stone tablet, staring at the three words on it, his brows growing deeper and deeper.
“Black Wind Mountain, Black Wind…” He murmured, “Black Wind Mountain? Why does it give people such a weird feeling?”
He raised his left hand, and a ball of white ice appeared in his palm, exuding cold air.
“Boom!”
Just as Li Yunxiao was staring at the ice crystal in his hand, a loud explosion suddenly rang out.
Not far in front of Li Yunxiao, a huge stone slab suddenly cracked, and a huge crack instantly extended thousands of feet away.
A burly figure came out from inside.
Li Yunxiao’s pupils shrank slightly, and he immediately recognized the man as the leader of the Black Wind Village, the most powerful bandit group in southern Xinjiang, named Zhang Tianhu.
At this moment, Zhang Tianhu was covered in blood, his clothes were torn, and his face was covered with scars. It was obvious that he had experienced a fierce battle, and his whole body exuded a sharp and fierce aura.
As soon as he came out, his eyes immediately fell on Li Yunxiao, with a strong sense of vigilance flashing in his eyes.
“Humph, boy, you are really not dead!”
Zhang Tianhu snorted coldly, with an angry expression on his face.
He had always thought that this guy was doomed to die, but he didn’t expect that he actually came out alive, and his strength had become many times stronger than the last time he saw him!
