The leader Jiang Hao replaced in this place was an ordinary disciple of the Blackheaven Sect's inner sect.
After reaching the Foundation Establishment Realm, his cultivation hadn't made much progress, so he came to the mining site in search of a job. He hoped to find opportunities here.
He arrived and never left, and before he knew it, it had been several decades.
During this time, he progressed from the early stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm to the late stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm.
He was only one step away from reaching the Golden Core Realm.
It wasn't because he had any extraordinary encounters. It was mainly because he was ruthless in dealing with matters and gained many benefits from the mining site.
Jiang Hao took notice of this and decided to replace him.
If someone was just an honest cultivator, he didn't want to have conflicts with them.
He didn't want to disrupt their peaceful lives.
