Chapter 1232 1143: Scapegoat
Black Kun Stone is filled with Yin Death Qi, and ordinary Demon Cultivators would damage their essence when collecting it.
Although Wang Yan's cultivation is profound, he can suffer less from the harm of this Yin Death Qi.
However, Wang Yan would never come alone to collect, after all, time waits for no one.
Therefore, Wang Yan raised his hand and took out the Soul-Breaking Spear. With a shake of the spearhead, a hundred thousand Yin Souls rode a hundred thousand Blazing Flame Flood Dragons and flew out.
These hundred thousand Jiao Cavalry are originally Yin Souls, so they naturally feel a connection to the Black Kun Stone filled with Yin Death Qi.
With Wang Yan's gesture, the hundred thousand Jiao Cavalry immediately flew towards the depths of the Black Kun Cave.
In no time, the Jiao Cavalry found the Black Kun Stone and dug it out from the wall, throwing it onto the ground.
At that moment, the sound of tapping continued to echo within the deep cave.
Wang Yan raised his hand again, and millions of Fire-Eating Ants crawled out, heading towards the cave.
Along the way, whenever Black Kun Stone was spotted, thousands of ants would immediately separate from the Fire-Eating Ant Legion to lift it and return to Wang Yan's location.
Each piece of Black Kun Stone was the size of a fist, flashing with black light.
Gradually, the pile of Black Kun Stone in front of Wang Yan grew larger, eventually forming a small hill.
Thirty days later.
A giant peak of countless Black Kun Stones was piled in front of Wang Yan.
Looking at the mountain of Black Kun Stone before him, Wang Yan smiled slightly and said, "My Terracotta Warriors army can be completed today."
Having said that, Wang Yan raised his hand, and the Jiao Cavalry summoned long ago by Wang Yan immediately charged into the Black Kun Stone mountain.
Excited in his heart, Wang Yan watched as the hundred thousand Jiao Cavalry charged into the mountain of Black Kun Stone.
Once these hundred thousand Jiao Cavalry transform into Terracotta Warriors, their combat power would be comparable to the cultivation of a Demon Emperor, giving him a hundred thousand helpers for nothing.
In an instant, the hundred thousand Jiao Cavalry flew out from the Black Kun Stone mountain. Indeed, each Jiao Cavalry was wearing armor condensed from Black Kun Stone, holding a curved blade also condensed from Black Kun Stone.
Wang Yan's heart was filled with joy, and his face showed a delighted expression.
Now, these hundred thousand Jiao Cavalry are comparable to a hundred thousand Demon Emperors.
But just then, suddenly the armor on the hundred thousand Jiao Cavalry fell off them, dropping to the ground and once again transforming into Black Kun Stone.
And those hundred thousand Jiao Cavalry remained as aimless Yin Souls.
Immediately, Wang Yan frowned deeply.
Back then, when Wang Yan saw Li Chang's three Terracotta Warriors, they were exactly like this. Wang Yan wanted to replicate them, but unexpectedly he couldn't succeed.
Wang Yan is well-versed in Mozi Scripture, which covers a myriad of topics, from arrays to artifact refining. Wang Yan has reached a master level in both the array and artifact refining arts.
The method of transforming Black Kun Stone into armor does not escape the realms of arrays and artifact refining, therefore Wang Yan was very confident that he could try and succeed, yet unexpectedly failed.
Wang Yan conducted several experiments again but still did not succeed.
No matter what method Wang Yan used, the Black Kun Stone could not be condensed into shape.
Anxious at heart, Wang Yan raised his hand, storing the Black Kun Stone and Jiao Cavalry into the Starlight Ring, and then turned his body, immediately flying outward.
Hundreds of Tomb Raiders were still desperately mining the Black Kun Stone, only feeling a slight cold wind blowing from behind, but were unaware that Wang Yan had already flown past them.
Soon, Wang Yan flew to the cave entrance and saw Li Chang standing guard at the entrance, holding a long whip.
Li Chang was startled upon seeing Wang Yan before him.
Li Chang was shocked, and upon realizing it was Wang Yan, he immediately became furious and cursed, "Who told you to run here? Why..."
But before Li Chang could finish speaking, Wang Yan's eyes once again revealed two black vortices, saying coldly, "How can they be condensed into Terracotta Warriors?"
"I don't know either," Li Chang replied woodenly.
Wang Yan asked more questions in detail but ultimately felt helpless.
It turns out that Li Chang's three Terracotta Warriors were obtained from elsewhere. He himself couldn't use the method to condense them.
Those who know how to condense Black Kun Stone into Terracotta Warriors are very few.
At this point, Wang Yan was in a dilemma.
He knew nothing about the Great Qin Empire and couldn't fool even a Demon Warrior.
If he leaves the Black Kun Cave now, he won't manage to go far before revealing his identity and being discovered as someone from the outside.
At that time, he would have to deal with more than just a mere Demon Warrior.
But if he stays in the Black Kun Cave, he won't be able to condense Terracotta Warriors.
Thinking it over, Wang Yan realized that the only option was to take a chance. Although there is danger outside the cave, there is no other way.
Thinking of this, Wang Yan retracted the Eye of Bewitchment, about to leave the Black Kun Cave.
Once Wang Yan retracted the Eye of Bewitchment, Li Chang immediately woke up from the Illusion Realm. He glanced at Wang Yan and continued his previous curse, "...if you don't go mine Black Kun Stone, you want to get beaten?"
But just as Li Chang finished speaking, a young lady's angry voice suddenly came from outside the cave, "A mere Village Chief dares to embezzle my Black Kun Stone?"
With these words, a young and beautiful lady flew in from outside the cave. This young lady was heavily made up, with smoke-like eyebrows and autumn-like eyes, lips as red as clotted blood, with two golden butterfly earrings dazzling on her cheeks, truly charming and stunning.
Although the young lady was so beautiful, Li Chang turned pale and trembled all over upon seeing her.
He quickly turned to look at the beautiful young lady, tremblingly saying, "Imperial Censor Ji...I wouldn't dare embezzle your Black Kun Stone!"
At this moment, through Li Chang's introduction, Wang Yan already understood the bureaucratic system of the Great Qin Empire.
The so-called Imperial Censor can only be appointed to Demon Cultivators with Demon Emperor Great Perfection cultivation.
Immediately, Wang Yan looked at the young lady and, sure enough, she possessed Demon Emperor Great Perfection cultivation.
Seeing Imperial Censor Ji standing in front of Li Chang, with an icy expression, she coldly said, "Humph, if you didn't dare, then why this month I was supposed to receive thirty pieces of Black Kun Stone but only got five?"
Li Chang quickly said, "Lord Imperial Censor, it's not that I deliberately embezzled, but lately the production of Black Kun Stone in the cave suddenly dropped, so all the supplies for the Lords have decreased."
Imperial Censor Ji angrily said, "Nonsense, the production of Black Kun Stone has been stable for many years. Why suddenly it decreased this month? Quickly explain clearly, or else it's just your laziness."
Li Chang couldn't understand why the production of Black Kun Stone suddenly decreased, nor did he know the culprit behind this was Wang Yan behind him.
At that moment, Li Chang's body shook, knowing that the grand Imperial Censor wasn't someone he could afford to offend.
Suddenly, Li Chang saw Wang Yan behind him and immediately found a scapegoat.
He quickly raised his hand, pointing at Wang Yan, shouting, "It's really not my laziness. It's...it's them being lazy. I'll kill him now to vent the Imperial Censor's anger."
Having said that, Li Chang raised the whip in his hand and attempted to wrap it around Wang Yan's neck.
