Taking the Mysterious Iron Ore, A New Traveling Mission

Seeing the three Ye Family Foundation Establishment cultivators separate, Zhao Yun stopped throwing Fireballs. He gripped his Roaming Dragon Spear and charged toward the nearest one.

The other six doppelgangers, split into groups of three, went to intercept the other two Ye Family Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Lacking magic artifacts, these six doppelgangers could only continue using Fireballs to suppress the movement paths of the two Ye Family cultivators.

For a time, the two Ye Family cultivators were left helpless, forced into a state of passive resistance.

Even so, they were exhausted, running for their lives as their injuries grew increasingly severe.

Their internal spiritual energy was being constantly drained, yet they persisted.

At this moment, Zhao Yun, wielding the Roaming Dragon Spear, blocked one of the Ye Family cultivators. "Where do you think you're going?"

Zhao Yun surged forward, the Roaming Dragon Spear in his hands shifting through a flurry of techniques.

The Nine Heavens Dragon Roar Spear consisted of five moves, each one aimed directly at the vital points of the Ye Family cultivator.

Although the Ye Family cultivator was in the Foundation Establishment Realm, he was only at the second level of the Early Stage.

Already depleted from the previous struggle, he found himself stretched thin while facing Zhao Yun.

However, Zhao Yun possessed the Black-tier High-grade Roaming Dragon Spear and the Black-tier High-grade Nine Heavens Dragon Roar Spear technique.

The Ye Family cultivator, equipped only with Yellow-tier magic artifacts and techniques, was completely outmatched; it was only a matter of time before Zhao Yun struck him down.

Zhao Yun let out a loud shout, "Shatter Starry Sky."

Bolstered by the Swallow Step, his speed was immense, and his figure appeared instantly before the Ye Family cultivator.

The Roaming Dragon Spear danced like a dragon soaring through the sky, the spear tip flickering in and out of existence as if stars were falling.

It was as if the surrounding void had been shattered, releasing an infinite shockwave as the spear tip pierced through the Ye Family cultivator's chest.

"Bang!"

Zhao Yun pulled out the Roaming Dragon Spear, and the Ye Family cultivator collapsed to the ground.

The Ye Family cultivator had lost all ability to move, but he still clung to a final breath, not yet fully dead.

"One down, hurry over."

After Zhao Yun shouted, he rushed toward the other Ye Family cultivator who was being besieged by three doppelgangers.

Among the three doppelgangers surrounding him was one that looked exactly like the Ye Family cultivator Zhao Yun had just defeated.

It withdrew from the encirclement and sprinted toward the dying Ye Family cultivator.

With Zhao Yun having arrived, the other two doppelgangers stopped their assault and dashed toward the final battlefield.

Inside the mine tunnel, one doppelganger was currently performing soul-searching on the dying Ye Family cultivator.

Zhao Yun engaged the second Ye Family cultivator alone.

At the final battlefield, five doppelgangers were simultaneously surrounding the last Ye Family cultivator.

The battle was nearing its end.

Just then, Zhao Yun shouted, "Finished, hurry over."

Zhao Yun looked toward the last Ye Family cultivator, but stopped just as he was about to charge.

The Ye Family cultivator besieged by the five doppelgangers had exhausted his spiritual energy and sat withered on the ground, currently being soul-searched by a doppelganger who looked exactly like him.

One doppelganger had already come to Zhao Yun's side to soul-search the Ye Family cultivator.

"You continue the soul-searching; we will go help finish off the remaining Ye Family guards outside."

"Understood."

After Zhao Yun spoke, he led Ye Zhengping, Ye Jiang, and Ye Tong toward the exit of the mine tunnel.

They did not encounter a single Ye Family guard on the way. "It seems these Ye Family guards have all gathered at the mine entrance. Let's pick up the pace."

When Zhao Yun and his doppelgangers arrived at the mine entrance, they did not encounter the fierce battle they had anticipated.

The Ye Family guards had basically been subdued, with only a few still putting up a desperate resistance.

However, with the addition of Zhao Yun and his group, the battle ended quickly.

"Tie up all these Ye Family members; they still have their uses."

"Understood."

After Zhao Yun finished speaking, he organized the doppelgangers to bind the Ye Family members.

"You three stay here at the entrance. The situation here is resolved; I am going to report to the master.

As for those miners, don't touch them for now; keep them guarded separately."

After Zhao Yun finished communicating with Ye Zhengping and the others, he returned into the mine tunnel himself.

"Is the soul-searching complete?"

The three doppelgangers nodded. "How should we deal with these three Ye Family Foundation Establishment cultivators?"

"They are useless now. Once they wake up, if they still have consciousness, keep those who can mine; if they've been turned into fools, finish them off directly."

"Understood."

Zhao Yun finished speaking, his figure already vanishing.

Inside Chen Ze's residence.

Chen Ze felt Zhao Yun calling to him from within the Myriad Things Space. Did he finish it so quickly?

"Ling'er, let him out!"

"Yes, Master."

In an instant, Zhao Yun appeared by Chen Ze's side.

Zhao Yun bowed and saluted, "Master, the entire Mysterious Iron Ore mine has been secured."

"Mm, well done."

Zhao Yun continued, "The members of the Ye Family have all been captured. We can start mining at any time, but what should we do about the original miners?"

Chen Ze said indifferently, "Just release those miners. Keeping them is of no great use, and they were all forced to mine anyway."

At this moment, Zhao Ling'er, who had been standing by the side, suddenly spoke up, "Master is kind-hearted, but if all these miners are released at once, it will inevitably be discovered.

If that happens, the fact that we have seized the Ye Family's Mysterious Iron Ore mine will be exposed immediately, which is disadvantageous for us for the time being."

After hearing Zhao Ling'er's words, Chen Ze pondered for a moment. What she said was not without reason. "Then do you have any good ideas?"

"Master, it is actually quite simple. We just need to send these miners further away."

"Send them further away?" Chen Ze asked, puzzled.

"Yes, send them far away so they cannot return to Wannan City and will have no contact with the Ye Family.

That way, no one will discover that we have seized the Ye Family's Mysterious Iron Ore mine."

"That is a good plan, but how are we supposed to send them away?

With over a hundred people, it will be difficult not to attract attention," Chen Ze said helplessly.

"Master, it is actually quite simple to send them away, it will just cost some Points."

As soon as Zhao Ling'er said this, Chen Ze instantly understood what she meant. "Then that is the only way, but I don't have enough Points right now, so they will just have to wait a little longer."

"Master, actually, you could let him continue mining."

"What do you mean by that?"

"Master, let these hundred-plus miners mine for another month.

Don't exploit them; just let them mine normally, resting when they need to.

After one month, the ore they have mined will serve as their travel expenses.

During this month, you can have a Doppelganger travel as far away as possible to places we have never been before.

Moreover, this Doppelganger can help us explore many unknown regions along the way, and perhaps even encounter other opportunities.

Once the Doppelganger finds a location that is both far away and safe, we can let those miners leave."

Chen Ze carefully considered what Zhao Ling'er had said. "Mm, Ling'er, this is a great idea. It truly kills many birds with one stone."

Chen Ze's praise made Zhao Ling'er cover her mouth and giggle; being recognized made her feel very happy inside.

Zhao Yun, who had been waiting on the side, looked at the articulate and clear-headed Zhao Ling'er in surprise, pondering to himself.

Have I missed something during this time? We are both Doppelgangers, so how is she able to think of so much?

Chen Ze immediately continued, "Zhao Yun, since you are here, you heard everything Ling'er just said. This task of traveling is entrusted to you."

"Yes," Zhao Yun said, cupping his hands.

"Alright, go now! As for the Mysterious Iron Ore mine, leave it to those Doppelgangers disguised as the Ye Family to manage."
