"What mission?" Xiao Yu asked.

"I'll send the task to you. I think it's easy to complete this task with your strength." Di Qingmu said, "Complete this task and you'll get 30,000 credits. I stopped you as soon as I found out."

"Okay." Xiao Yu said.

Soon, a task message came, and Xiao Yu put down his wine glass to check.

In the Qingming Chaos Territory of the Ancient Yanfeng Country, there is a large city called "Qingqu City". Near this Qingqu City, there is a large rare mineral deposit called "Qingqu Stone Essence", but in the recent Chaos Eras, the output of "Qingqu Stone Essence" has greatly decreased, and even many practitioners responsible for mining have died, and dozens of Eternal True Gods have died.

It is suspected that there is a Chaos Realm being who is stealing the 'Qingqu Stone Essence'.

Mission: Catch the illegal miners and you will get 30,000 merits. All the spoils will belong to the person who carries out the mission.

"In fact, whether it is tracking down the identity or catching the thieves, it is very easy for me, because once I accept this task, I will naturally establish a causal relationship with the thieves." Xiao Yu thought to himself, "If it is placed on someone who does not practice the cause and effect path, such a connection may not be found, but I can clearly detect it."

"The only difficulty is that there are probably millions, tens of millions, or even more people who have a causal relationship with me through this mission. Whether it's the miners, the managers of this mine, or even the users of this mine, they may all have a causal relationship with me, but the strength of the causal relationship may be different."

After thinking for a while, Xiao Yu responded: "Okay, I'll take it."

"I will send you all the information about this mission later." Di Qingmu said.

"Okay, help me pay more attention to tasks that require high merit." Xiao Yu sent the message.

Soon, the information about the 'Qingqu Stone Spirit' was collected and sorted by Emperor Qingmu and then sent over.

Xiao Yu took a look and left an avatar with 100 million Black Prison Rivers to guard Qingdu that day. Xiao Yu himself quietly left Qingdu and went to Qingming Chaos Realm.

……

Qingming Chaos Continent, outside Qingqu City, Qingqu Stone Mining Area.

Whoosh!
A black silk thread crossed the distant void and appeared above the Qingqu Stone Mining Area, and then a figure appeared, which was Xiao Yu.

"In just less than an hour, I was able to cross most of the ancient country of Yanfeng and arrive at the Qingming Chaos Realm. It seems that practicing in the Black Prison River is the right way." Xiao Yu was very satisfied with his research results.

"This Qingqu Stone Concentrate Mining Area covers a very large area, several times larger than Tianyan City." Xiao Yu looked at the entire mining area below, "and it is covered by a formation, so it is extremely difficult to explore. And based on the causal connection in my body, especially the causal lines connected because of this mission. Most of the causal lines are thin, which means that the causal connection is very weak."

Xiao Yu's divine power probed through the causal line. At that section of the causal line, most of them were not even Eternal True Gods in terms of strength.

“The one who could kill so many Eternal True Gods and dare to steal must be a Chaos-level strongman.” Xiao Yu’s mind moved, and he cut off those irrelevant causal lines.

"There are only eight causal lines left now. One of them is a Divine King. He is also a high-ranking member of the Emperor Chu lineage of the Yanfeng Ancient Country. He should not be a miner. As for the remaining seven, one of them is Qingming Hou, the owner of the Qingming Chaos Continent fiefdom. He is at the peak of the Chaos Realm. It is impossible for this person to be a miner. He could have benefited from this mine." Xiao Yu thought to himself.

Based on the cause and effect investigation, information was obtained and then eliminated one by one, including the four Chaos Realm people who were outside Qingming Chaos Continent.

The remaining one is in Qingqu City, and the other one is in the Qingqu Stone Mining Area.

"The most likely person is the one who is at the peak of Chaos Realm and is in the mining area." Xiao Yu preliminarily identified the suspect. As for whether his analysis was correct, he only needed to verify it.

Xiao Yu immediately restrained his breath, and the long Black Prison River spread rapidly, penetrating deep into the earth and surrounding the entire mining area on the outside.

"The entire mining area is only about one trillion kilometers, and my Black Prison River can easily cover it." Xiao Yu said secretly.

When the Qingqu Stone Concentrate Mine was completely covered by the Black Prison River, the entire mining area seemed to be trapped in a dark space. Xiao Yu controlled a Black Prison River to follow the causal line and searched for the past. Because Xiao Yu had a guest official order and was the guest official who handled this mission, the formation in the mining area was not activated.

The depths of the mining area are dark and unpredictable.

"I heard that a pair of miners died in the Huangjiaqi Mine two days ago."

"The mining area was safe in the past, but in recent centuries, a large number of miners have died frequently, and even many Eternal True Gods have died."

A team of miners and practitioners were on the march, each of them was extremely nervous, and they were afraid that they would be the next.

"Hopefully our luck will be better."

The miners comforted each other.

"We've arrived at the Huangjiaqi mining area, let's start working." the captain ordered.

Immediately, this team of miners began to divide the work. Some of them took the secret treasure tools and began to crush the sand and gravel to screen out the fine ores.

Not far from this team of miners, a huge figure had already penetrated into the sand and gravel, screening out tiny particles from them.

"Who's outside?" The huge figure sensed something unusual outside the mining area.

As a powerful warrior at the peak level of the Chaos Realm, even within the layers of formations, he could sense what was happening outside the mining area.

He could not hide the fact that the entire mining area was suddenly plunged into darkness.

Suddenly, a long black river, seeping through the sand and gravel, followed silently.

"He has been stealing and mining all this time." Xiao Yu has confirmed the identity of the miner, "It is this peak Chaos Realm being."

With a thought in his mind, billions of Black Prison Rivers immediately sealed off the entire mining area, directly restraining the huge monster that was permeated in the sand and gravel through the space, but the ordinary miners and practitioners nearby were not affected at all.

"A newcomer from the Chaos Realm?" The huge monster was horrified.

The huge creature immediately shook its body, trying to merge into the void. "Why can't it merge into the void?"

"Still want to escape?" Xiao Yu snorted coldly, and with an idea, he quietly moved the huge monster out of the mining area.

Above the mining area, long black rivers appeared like black cages, enveloping the huge monster.

"Break it for me!" Waves hit the surrounding black rivers, but they couldn't even shake the black river.

"You useless piece of trash! You actually dare to come and steal the essence of Qingqu Stone!" Xiao Yu snorted coldly.

“Please spare my life.” The huge monster turned into a silver furry beast. It looked cute. The silver beast was extremely respectful and said, “Greetings to the Great Sage of Chaos.”

Xiao Yu knew that this silver monster was a Chaos Peak-level Void Beast.

Void beasts are usually silver-white and furry. They are naturally compatible with the origin of the void. With a little training, they can become the peak of the Chaos Realm. However, there are very few void beasts on the Origin Continent, but each one has a great origin. (End of this chapter)
