Chapter 756

?Chapter 756: Chapter 756: Creating Chaos_1 Chapter 756: Chapter 756: Creating Chaos_1 The technique that Xu Fan had just used was known as the Locking Spirit Spell.

Even though he had cast it casually, it was not something that people like Tan Yuefeng could break free from.

The Locking Spirit Spell, as its name implies, could lock even the divine soul, restricting the True Qi within their bodies, naturally making it an effortless task.

If one were to cultivate the Locking Spirit Spell to an advanced realm, even super-powerful beings at the Nascent Soul level could be controlled.

Affected by the Locking Spirit Spell, Tan Yuefeng and the others collapsed to the ground, completely unable to extricate themselves, incapable of moving any part of their bodies, with only their eyeballs able to roll around.

Zhang Minghui and the others watched the scene in shock.

All they saw was Xu Fan making a few hand signs, and then a burst of light shot out, binding Tan Yuefeng and the others tightly.

It was just like watching a mythical movie; had they not seen it with their own eyes, they would never believe such things could happen in the world.

Zhang Feng was relatively better off, after all, he had just genuinely experienced “true speed and passion,” having seen more of the world.

“Now that they cannot run away, we should first go up to the mine to check the situation,” Xu Fan said with a light smile.

“Ah… yes, right away,” Zhang Minghui was startled for a moment before he finally came back to his senses.

His heart was still in turmoil.

Immediately after, Xu Fan and his group continued on their way, arriving at the mine site.

Right when they arrived, five fire engines also entered the mine site.

One by one, the firefighters quickly ran down from the trucks, organizing their equipment, and swiftly began the rescue operations.

Zhang Minghui had Zhang Mingfei coordinate with the firefighters, providing them with any necessary information about the mine to facilitate the smooth progress of the rescue operation.

Meanwhile, he, Zhang Mingpeng, and Xu Fan, among others, reached the resting area where the workers were.

“Zhang Minghui, Boss Zhang has arrived,” someone shouted, though it was unclear who.

Instantly all the workers perked up, immediately crowding around, each one appearing agitated and excited.

“Boss Zhang, there are over seventy of our colleagues buried below; please, no matter what, you must save them.”

“My younger brother has also been buried below; he’s only in his twenties, still very young.

Please, you must bring him out.”

“My father hasn’t come out either, Boss Zhang, I’m begging you, please make sure you get my father out.”

“Those brothers down there are the pillars of many families; if they are not rescued, not just one but many families will collapse.”

“If I hadn’t run fast, I might not have made it out either…”

“They had an accident in your mine; it’s your utmost responsibility…”

…

The crowd was clamoring, surrounding Zhang Minghui and the others tightly.

Almost all these coal miners were covered in black soot from head to toe, many even had no shirts on their upper bodies, bare-chested, and some were injured with bandages wrapped around them.

A considerable number of the workers had narrowly escaped, each exhibiting signs of anxiety and panic.

Even though they had escaped, their friends and relatives were still buried in the mines, so how could they not be worried.

“Everyone, please calm down, don’t shout, listen to what I have to say…” Zhang Minghui said loudly, waving his hands to signal.

However, the miners were all too agitated and it was nearly impossible for them to calm down, continuing to make a loud commotion, making the scene very chaotic.

Suddenly, someone in the crowd yelled out, “Brothers, I think the Zhang Family doesn’t have the slightest intention of rescuing anyone.

I’ve heard before that if they rescue someone, and that person ends up with a disability for life, they’d have to spend a lot of money on treatment.

But if they let them die down there, a life is worth at most just tens of thousands of yuan.

They’re nothing but ruthless capitalists that suck the blood of the people.”

Those words stirred up the crowd like oil on the flame.

The workers were instantly in an uproar.

And many of them had heard of such things before; indeed, some unscrupulous coal bosses intentionally caused the death of workers who could have been saved, all to cut costs.

In no time, the scene became even more chaotic, with some people starting to get physical, pushing and shoving Zhang Minghui and Zhang Mingpeng, their expressions growing even more agitated and angry.

“Everybody, quiet down!”

The situation had completely spiraled out of control, and Xu Fan had to step in personally, yelling loudly.

A wave of invisible sound rippled out from him like ripples, spreading towards the surroundings.

The workers suddenly felt a jolt in their minds, a “buzzing” in their ears, and subconsciously quieted down, then turned their gazes toward Xu Fan.

“Who are you?”

“What is your relationship with the Zhang Family?”

Immediately, someone questioned Xu Fan.

Zhang Minghui took the opportunity to breathe a sigh of relief, then wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and quickly explained, “Everyone, please calm down, he is my nephew, he can fully represent our Zhang Family.”

He naturally understood that the current situation was beyond his easy control, and he could only leave the matter to Xu Fan to handle.

Xu Fan looked at the people and said loudly, “Many of you have been working here for many years.

Whether the Zhang Family is a ruthless boss, and how they treat you, I assume you all have your own judgement.

You must not lose your composure and be used by those with ulterior motives, as that benefits no one.”

His voice contained a power of spirit.

The workers, feeling moved, calmed down one by one, and upon reflection, although the Zhang Family’s situation had been deteriorating over the years, they had never been wronged as mine workers.

?????.??

After all, the Zhang Family understood that coal mining was their foundation, and these coal miners were of utmost importance.

Therefore, not only had the Zhang Family not treated them poorly, the benefits and compensation they provided were even noticeably better than those of workers from other mines.

At that moment, from within the crowd, a thin man with a square face quietly started to slip away toward the outskirts of the group.

Xu Fan’s gaze immediately fixed on that person, and he barked, “Stop right there!”

Everyone was taken aback, unsure what Xu Fan was talking about or who he was ordering to stop.

Xu Fan moved forward with large strides, and the workers beside him opened up a path.

Coming to the side of the square-faced middle-aged man, Xu Fan said in a cold voice, “Turn your body back here.”

The man turned back around as if he were a puppet on strings.

Terror was written all over his face.

For he didn’t know why, but upon hearing Xu Fan’s words, he uncontrollably obeyed the command, which was utterly terrifying.

“You are…

Peng Xiaosi?!”

Zhang Minghui, upon seeing this person, was taken aback.

He had a vivid memory of him because Peng Xiaosi was always lazy and poorly behaved in the mine, not to mention he once stole equipment to sell outside, nearly ending up in the police station.

But the Zhang Family had let him off the hook considering the workers’ perspective.

Xu Fan’s gaze was indifferent, yet penetrative like X-rays, seeming to see through Peng Xiaosi, making him feel as though he could not hide any secrets.
