"This is an opportunity!" In the nine calamity space, the Sword Spirit said anxiously, "As far as I know, after the Li family occupied the northwest many years ago, they discovered that the terrain here was extremely cold and not suitable for human habitation. Therefore, they proposed to migrate..."
"But before they could take action, they found an extremely large Amethyst mine underground in the northwest. So the Li family suddenly changed their mind and stayed. This matter is unknown to any other family among the nine great clans..."
The Sword Spirit continued, "The Li family spent tremendous effort to establish a foothold in the icy wasteland, transforming it into a place where humans could reside. The labor and care that went into this is simply incalculable. However, after settling down, when they began to secretly mine, they discovered that this Amethyst mine could not be mined at all!"
"Why can't it be mined?" Chu Yang asked in his mind.
"Because this huge Amethyst mine is actually wrapped in a strange metal. This metal is somewhat similar to what can be found in the Zhuge family's Xingyun Mountain... Even a supreme ninth rank pinnacle cannot destroy it! So after the Li family mined the ordinary Amethyst from the edges, they could only watch the core part, drooling, while being at a loss for what to do!"
The Sword Spirit blinked, "I've said enough; the rest is up to you to figure out."
Chu Yang's eyes turned, and he hurriedly asked, "I just want to know, is there a family that specializes in mining Amethyst?"
"If there were, the Li family would have found them long ago." The Sword Spirit rolled his eyes and entered meditation.
He believed that with such a hint, Chu Yang would definitely be able to devise a strategy to escape. The Sword Spirit had a confidence level of one thousand percent in Chu Yang...
So the Sword Spirit straightforwardly went to rest...
Chu Yang began to ponder.
...
Seeing that Chu Yang had been silent for a long time, seemingly lost in thought, the old man chuckled, his eyes flashing with brightness: "You just need to admit it. As far as I know, this Wind Thunder Platform has been protected by the power of wind and thunder for a hundred thousand years, and even a supreme ninth rank pinnacle might not be able to destroy it! But under your hands, it seems as easy as crushing dry weeds... There must be a reason for this, right?"
Chu Yang hesitated, his eyes flickering for a moment, and said, "What if I don't say anything?"
The old man smiled cruelly, "What do you think?"
Chu Yang closed his eyes, looked up at the sky, took a deep breath, and bitterly smiled, "Since we've come to this point today, it seems I have no choice but to speak."
The old man smiled gently, "Very good! You are a wise man. In my lifetime, I have always admired wise men."
"With six super experts watching closely, even if they hide their whereabouts, what good will it do?" Chu Yang shook his head in helplessness and took off his mask, revealing a youthful face. Then, to everyone's shock, he peeled off a layer of skin from his face, instantly transforming into a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties.
In this way, it gave people a feeling: this was his true face!
The members of the Li family were all dumbfounded, not expecting this guy to be so cautious that he wore a human skin mask even after hiding his face.
The old man’s eyes flashed, "You possess the cultivation of the supreme of swords. However, your face seems quite unfamiliar."
Chu Yang smiled bitterly, "I have never shown my face in the martial arts world, so it's naturally unfamiliar. But in front of seniors, what use are such small tricks?"
Chu Yang spoke sincerely, his posture very humble.
The old man stroked his beard and smiled, clearly pleased by this small compliment.
"I am Li Tongtian; may I ask how to address you, young friend?" The old man, Li Tongtian, said amiably.
"My name is too insignificant to be mentioned..." Chu Yang looked around awkwardly.
The thirty to forty people were still glaring at him angrily; he had injured Li Nanshan, and now his life or death was uncertain. How could they not be angry?
