After more than ten years on the mountain, you will become invincible when you come down.

As soon as the man in black finished speaking, a man stood up.

This guy has a thief-like appearance, pointy ears and monkey-like cheeks. You can't tell at first glance that he is not a good person.

"I want to report it, I want to expose it!"

"Okay, if what you reported is true, I will reward you with five fairy crystals. If it is fabricated, I will reward you with five whips!" said the man in black in a deep voice.

"Yes, during this period of time, I noticed that they were acting sneaky and were often missing. I suspected that they were planning to escape, and the missing person has already run away!" The man pointed at Jian Yi and the others and said.

"What nonsense are you talking about? If we had planned to escape, would we still be here now?" the old man in black robe retorted.

The man in black looked at the accusing man and said in a deep voice, "You have to have evidence to support your statement. As you said, if one of them had already escaped, why are they still here? Shouldn't they have escaped together?"

"Your Excellency may not know that they are together every day. As for the missing person, I don't see him in the team now, so I can conclude that they must know where that person went!"

The man in black looked at Jian Yi and the others meaningfully. The people the man accused were the ones who had just been punished for not finding a single immortal crystal...

"Okay, five fairy crystals as a reward!" The man in black took out five fairy crystals and threw them to the person who made the accusation.

Seeing that he really got five immortal crystals, several people stood up excitedly.

"I want to report it, I want to expose it!"

"Okay, everyone has a chance, speak one by one!" said the man in black with satisfaction.

"A few days ago I heard them discussing leaving, saying they were going to find a way to leave!"

"Every time they go mining, they pretend to be serious. After a while, they will disappear for a long time and then reappear when you come to collect the immortal crystals..."

"They started planning their escape a long time ago. They were exploring the route every day, so they chose to escape today..."

Everyone started to report and expose the truth. Five immortal crystals were not too much, but not too little either. It was enough for them to rest for half a day...

"What nonsense are you talking about? Stop accusing people here!" Dao Er said unhappily.

The man in black sneered at Jian Yi and the others and asked in a deep voice, "So many people have reported you, what else do you have to say?"

"They reported the incident only for the immortal crystals. There is no substantial evidence. I am also capable of slandering others. I even said that they were all planning to escape..." Jian Yi said.

"What you said makes sense. We do need evidence to prove that what they said is true. I am not an unreasonable person. Do you have any evidence?" The man in black asked the person who reported the incident.

Everyone was dumbfounded. The first person who reported the incident did not provide any evidence and was given five fairy crystals just by saying a few words. But now they need evidence?

"Sir, I will never say anything nonsense when I ask you. Please trust us!"

"Sir, one person can talk nonsense, two people can talk nonsense, but it's impossible that so many of us have colluded to frame them, right?"

"In other words, you have no evidence at all to prove that the missing person escaped?" the man in black said coldly.

"Sir, do you need any other evidence? He is not here now. It is obvious that he has run away..."

"Then where did he run from and how did he run? You must give me an explanation, right?" the man in black said coldly.

Everyone was stunned. Explanation? Where could they find an explanation? How did they know how to escape?

"This……"

"Hehe...it seems that you don't have any evidence, and you just want my fairy crystal?" The man in black sneered.

The fire whip in his hand had already started to "crack", and he lashed at everyone mercilessly.

"Hmph! What I want is to tell the facts and present the evidence! But you are here talking nonsense for the immortal crystals. You deserve to be beaten!" The man in black snorted coldly and whipped everyone.

After beating a few people, the man in black looked at Jian Yi and others.

"As the saying goes, there's no smoke without fire. The missing person is closely related to you guys?" the man in black asked.

"No, he was just a fellow miner. We exchanged a few words..."

"That's right. We are all fellow miners. After a while, we will naturally become familiar with each other..." the old man in black robe agreed.

"Okay, fellow miners, right? Then do you know where he went?" asked the man in black in a deep voice.

Jian Yi and the others all shook their heads and replied, "We don't know either. He didn't tell us..."

"Haha... you don't want to tell me, right? It seems like you are also itching for trouble..." The man in black sneered and whipped Jian Yi with a whip.

With a crisp "pa..." sound, Jian Yi was hit hard by the whip again.

"I'll give you one more chance. If you don't tell me the whereabouts of that person, each of you will be assigned an additional task of five fairy crystals every day. If you fail to complete it, you will be punished!" said the man in black in a cold voice.

"Even if five fairy crystals are added, we don't know!" Xiaolong said.

"If you don't know, you don't know. Even if you are whipped, you still won't know!" said the old man in black robe dissatisfiedly.

"You dare to talk back. Very good!" the man in black sneered.

The whip in his hand kept flying, one whip after another, falling on everyone.

After Jian Yi and the others were whipped five or six times, the man in black finally stopped.

"I'll give you one last chance. If he hasn't come back when I come to collect the fairy crystals tomorrow, all of you present here will be punished one by one!" the man in black warned again.

After saying that, the man in black left immediately, as if he had determined that Lu Feng could not escape...

Everyone was dumbfounded. They didn't expect that they would be implicated in the end?

"What does this have to do with us? It's not like we ran away!"

"Alas... the rules are in other people's hands. If they say it's related, then it's related!"

"Damn it... this bastard ran away without saying a word and killed us!"

"Let's see how we can find this person, otherwise we will also be punished tomorrow!"

Everyone at the scene was dissatisfied and unhappy, because they had to take responsibility even if they were lying down. The key point was that they had been mining honestly and had no intention of escaping...

Jian Yi was stunned, just when he was thinking about how to end it. Unexpectedly, the man in black gave them another day. It was probably because the man in black determined that Lu Feng could not escape and thought that Lu Feng was just hiding somewhere temporarily...

"What should we do? The master hasn't come back yet. If he doesn't come back tomorrow, I'm afraid we won't be as lucky as today!" asked the old man in black robe.

"Let's wait and see. Maybe Lu Feng will be back tomorrow. There's no need to rush..." said the old man?

"This is the only way. I don't know where the master has gone..." Xiaolong said.

Jian Yi and Dao Er could only agree, because they had no other options except waiting, and they didn't know where Lu Feng was at the moment...
