Silence returned to therge mine, with only Wilbur remaining there. Besides a puddle of water on the ground, nothing else remained. Wilbur frowned and said, "What kind of creature was that?"


    The ck liquid creature clearly was not a Shadow Man. The power of the Shadow Men could not transform themselves into liquid water. When the creature was cut into two parts, both segments continued to have vitality. One extended deeper into the mine, while the other one disappeared.


    At that moment, Wilbur felt like there seemed to be an unknown secret hidden with the Ezekiel Mine. Out of curiosity, he continued deeper into the mine. Since he had already ventured quite far in, he did not have to go much further to reach the end of the mine.


    There, he found nothing but three messy rock walls. Wilbur picked up a handful of soil from the ground and found it to be very dry. If he had not experienced the recent events himself, he would not have believed that such a strange creature existed in the Ezekiel Mine.


    Wilbur ced the first dragon cauldron in his palm and examined it closely. It no longer absorbed any dragon aura, indicating that the dragon aura here had beenpletely absorbed. Having achieved his goal, Wilbur saw no reason to stay any longer.


    He walked quickly to the entrance of the mine, finding it blocked by a pile of rubble. With a powerful punch, he sent arge stone flying, creating a one-meter- wide opening in the rubble. Wilbur slipped through the opening and emerged from the mine.


    Feeling the sunlight outside the mine again, Wilbur turned to look at the mine with a puzzled expression. Did Fremont choose copper ore from the Ezekiel Mine to forge the Nine Dragon Cauldrons because of that strange creature?


    Was the ck liquid creature some unknown life form from underground?


    As Wilbur thought about it, a man in ck quietly slipped into an alley far away. At that moment, the residents of Anderson Town came running when they heard themotion. They all looked surprised when they saw the pile of rubble at the mine entrance and Wilbur.


    "What happened here?"


    "Did the mine copse?"


    "I don''t think it''s a copse. If it were, we wouldn''t have heard such a loud noise outside. This guy probably tried to destroy the mine by setting up explosives."


    "Why would he want to do that?"


    "Just look at this guy. If I''m not mistaken, he''s from Dasha. Years ago, many Dasha workers came here and were treated unfairly. So, to them, Ezekiel Mine might be a ce of injustice."


    "Hey, young man, are you trying to destroy history?"


    Wilbur shook his head and said, "No, but you''re partly right. I''m from Dasha, but I didn''t cause the loud noise just now. It was an ident."


    Adhering to the concept that cultivators and ordinary people followed different sets of rules, Wilbur wanted to resolve the situation peacefully. However, some of the townspeople were very angry and insisted that Wilbur exin himself. Some even got the police involved.


    In the end, Wilbur followed the police back to the station. An old policeman asked, "You say you''re a cultivator. Do you have any proof?"
