Chapter 2538: What Do You Call Me?

In the No. 5 mining area of Tianxuan Zong, at the entrance of a deep and secluded mine, countless ragged miners gather here, engaged in a lively discussion.
"It's really absurd, what do you guys think is going on? How can a good mineral vein suddenly disappear?"
"Who knows, earlier I was mining in the cave, there were at least hundreds of thousands of pounds of Daojing inside, but in the blink of an eye, everything disappeared. I even doubted if I had a dream."
"We are all the same. Our team happened to discover a mine at that time and we thought we could each get tens of thousands of pounds of Daojing, but before we could take action, those Daojing mysteriously disappeared."
"There must be something significant happening. Look, those guardians are all wearing frowns. Even they probably have no idea what's going on."
……………
People are discussing the sudden disappearance of all the ore veins half a month ago, with everyone adding their own thoughts.
Half a month ago, all miners were astonished to find that all the Daojing ores, whether they were being mined or newly discovered, mysteriously vanished!
After the incident, they immediately reported the situation to the guards outside the mine.
Initially, some guards thought it was a few lazy miners and didn't pay much attention, even punishing some of the initial reporters severely.
可后来几天，陆陆续续又有上千人从矿洞里面跑了出来，都说矿洞里的道晶消失了。
至此，几个守护者这才意识到了问题的严重性，然后组织人手查了一遍又一遍，可惜直到现在，他们也没有找出问题的原因之所在。
"Oh, what can we do? The fifth mine area is the most important mining area of our Tianxuan Sect. This incident is a huge blow to our sect."
"Whether we should take action or not is not our concern. Right now, I just want to figure out how the Daojing suddenly disappeared from here."
"Ah, this matter is truly significant. With our abilities and knowledge, we won't be able to understand the situation here. Anyway, we have already contacted the sect. Once the sect's people arrive, maybe we can finally find out what exactly happened."
"That's the only way it can be..."
"There are a total of five guardians in this mine area, and their cultivation levels are all in the Daoist state."
"At this moment, the five of them gathered together and have been studying the disappearance of the Dao Crystal Veins. Unfortunately, after much thought, they still haven't come up with a reasonable explanation."
"Buzz!!!"
At this moment, there was a slight tremor in the space nearby, and then a beam of light burst open, dazzling enough to make people unable to open their eyes.
"Is there movement in the teleportation array? Did someone come from the sect?!"
Upon seeing the anomaly nearby, all five guardians' eyes lit up, excitement flashing in their eyes!
"Swipe!!!"
In the midst of conversation, a pitch-black spatial rift appeared not far from the five individuals, and thereafter, a white-robed old man with fluttering robes stepped out calmly.
"Is it Elder Hua? He actually came in person?!"
Upon seeing the old man appear, all five guardians were shocked and their faces showed expressions of astonishment.
Without a word, the five of them quickly straightened out their attire and then hurriedly approached the old man, saying, "Greetings, Elder Hua!"
Hua, one of the most senior elders of the Heavenly Arcane Sect, had already reached the realm of Breakthrough Dao countless years ago. At present, his strength has already reached the peak of the Breakthrough Dao realm.
And besides being powerful in cultivation, this Elder Hua is also the most skilled at detecting and mining veins in the Tianxuan Sect, in other words, the Sect's money maker.
Therefore, from bottom to top, no one in the Tianxuan Sect dares to not give face to this elder.
"Don't bother with pleasantries!"
Elder Hua glanced at the five individuals and spoke with an indifferent tone, "You reported that there was an issue with the No. 5 vein? Tell Elder Ben what exactly happened."

He only heard that there was a major problem here, but the person responsible for transmitting the message could not explain it clearly, so he still doesn't know what exactly happened!
"Back to Elder Hua, this is how things are..."

The five guardians did not dare to conceal anything and explained in detail everything that had happened in the past half month.
"Disappeared?! All the Dao crystal ores have vanished into thin air?!"
After listening to the five people's narration, Elder Hua's brows furrowed tightly, and there was a flicker of strange light in his eyes.
He believed that the five people would definitely not dare to deceive him, but he had never seen such a bizarre thing before, and hadn't even heard of it, so he was truly surprised.
"Hearing is believing. You all follow Senior Elder Ben into the cave to see for yourselves. I want to see what kind of ghost is in there!"
After a moment of contemplation, Senior Elder Hua's gaze suddenly became focused, and he called out to the five guardians.
"Yes, everything is left to Elder Hua to decide."
The five people did not dare to object, so they respectfully agreed and were about to follow Elder Hua to go down the mine for a look.
"Haha, it's better for you all to save some energy. With your intelligence, even if you tire yourself out, it's probably unlikely that you'll find any problems!"
Just at this moment, a light laughter suddenly came from inside the mine, and then Yunxiao's figure leisurely walked out from the mine.
"Huh?!"
The sudden change caused the six people to freeze in their tracks, and their gazes all turned towards Yunxiao on the opposite side. Their expressions became somewhat unsightly.
"Damn slave, what nonsense are you talking about? Do you believe I will tear your mouth apart?!"
At this moment, one of the five guardians, a middle-aged man, jumped out and scolded Yunxiao directly.
This middle-aged man is not a stranger, but the old Zhou who was responsible for receiving Yunxiao back then.
"What did you call me?!"
Yunxiao's face immediately darkened, and he coldly spoke to Old Zhou.
"Bastard, damn slave, how dare you give me attitude? Watch me teach you a lesson!"
Seeing Yunxiao daring to confront him with a cold expression, Old Zhou's face also darkened in an instant. With an angry shout, his figure flickered and he was already in front of Yunxiao!
"Slap!!"
A touch of ferocity flashed across his face. As he spoke, his big palm swung directly towards Yunxiao's face, intending to give him a public lesson!
"Looking for death!!"
Seeing that the other party was about to slap his face, a chilling sensation flashed in Yunxiao's eyes. In the next moment, he clenched his right fist tightly and struck the old man's abdomen with a punch!
"Puff!!!"
His fist didn't exert too much force, but with his current strength, even without using much force, it was not something a person in the Dao realm could withstand.
With a muffled bang, his punch went straight through Mr. Zhou's body, blasting a big hole in his stomach!
