Seeing the three Ye Family Foundation Establishment cultivators split up, Zhao Yun stopped throwing Fireballs. Gripping the Roaming Dragon Spear, he charged toward the nearest Ye Family Foundation Establishment cultivator.
The other six Doppelgangers split into groups of three and moved to intercept the remaining two Ye Family Foundation Establishment cultivators.
Those six Doppelgangers had no Magic Artifacts, so they could only keep using Fireballs to suppress the routes of the two Ye Family Foundation Establishment cultivators.
For a time, the two Ye Family Foundation Establishment cultivators were left utterly helpless, able only to defend passively.
Even so, the two Ye Family Foundation Establishment cultivators were run ragged, and the injuries on their bodies grew increasingly severe.
The spiritual power within their bodies was constantly being drained, yet they still held on.
At that moment, Zhao Yun, holding the Roaming Dragon Spear, had already blocked one Ye Family Foundation Establishment cultivator. "Where do you think you're running?"
Zhao Yun had already closed in, the Roaming Dragon Spear in his hand constantly shifting through its forms.
The Nine Heavens Dragon Roar Spear had five moves in total, and every one of them targeted the vital points of the Ye Family Foundation Establishment cultivator.
Although the Ye Family Foundation Establishment cultivator was in the Foundation Establishment Realm, his cultivation was only at the second level of Foundation Establishment Early Stage.
Already depleted from the earlier battle, he was now stretched thin trying to deal with Zhao Yun.
But Zhao Yun possessed the Black-tier High-grade Roaming Dragon Spear, as well as the Black-tier High-grade martial skill, Nine Heavens Dragon Roar Spear.
The Ye Family Foundation Establishment cultivator, who only had Yellow-tier Magic Artifacts and martial skills, had already fallen completely into the disadvantage. His death at Zhao Yun's hands was only a matter of time.
Zhao Yun shouted, "Shatter Starry Sky!"
With the support of Swallow Step, his speed was incomparably fast, and his figure had already appeared before the Ye Family Foundation Establishment cultivator.
The Roaming Dragon Spear danced like a roaming dragon soaring through the sky. Its spear tip flickered in and out of sight, like falling stars.
As though it had shattered the surrounding void, it unleashed boundless impact force, and the spear tip had already pierced through the Ye Family Foundation Establishment cultivator's chest.
"Bang!"
Zhao Yun pulled out the Roaming Dragon Spear, and the Ye Family Foundation Establishment cultivator fell in response.
The Ye Family Foundation Establishment cultivator had completely lost the ability to move, but he still clung to his last breath and had not yet fully died.
"One's dealt with. Come quickly."
After shouting, Zhao Yun charged once more toward another Ye Family Foundation Establishment cultivator being besieged by three Doppelgangers.
Among the three Doppelgangers surrounding him, the Doppelganger that looked exactly like the Ye Family Foundation Establishment cultivator Zhao Yun had just dealt with withdrew from the siege.
It sprinted toward the dying Ye Family Foundation Establishment cultivator.
Zhao Yun had already arrived, and the other two Doppelgangers immediately stopped attacking and rushed toward the other battlefield.
Inside the Mine Tunnel, one Doppelganger was searching the soul of the dying Ye Family Foundation Establishment cultivator.
Zhao Yun faced another Ye Family Foundation Establishment cultivator alone.
At the final battlefield, five Doppelgangers were attacking one Ye Family Foundation Establishment cultivator simultaneously.
The battle was already nearing its end.
At that moment, Zhao Yun's shout rang out. "They're dealt with. Come quickly."
Zhao Yun looked toward the final Ye Family Foundation Establishment cultivator. Just as he was about to rush over, he stopped.
The Ye Family Foundation Establishment cultivator besieged by five Doppelgangers had already exhausted all his spiritual power. He sat limply on the ground as a Doppelganger identical to him searched his soul.
A Doppelganger had already come to Zhao Yun's side and begun searching the Ye Family Foundation Establishment cultivator's soul.
"You continue searching their souls. We'll go outside and help clean up the remaining Ye Family guards."
"Yes."
After speaking, Zhao Yun led Ye Zhengping, Ye Jiang, and Ye Tong toward the entrance of the Mine Tunnel.
They did not encounter a single Ye Family guard along the way. "It seems the Ye Family guards have all gathered at the Mine Tunnel entrance. Let's pick up the pace."
When Zhao Yun and the others arrived at the Mine Tunnel entrance, they did not encounter the fierce battle they had expected.
The Ye Family guards had basically all been subdued. Only a few were still putting up a cornered beast's struggle.
However, with Zhao Yun and the others joining the fight, the battle quickly came to an end.
"Tie up every one of these Ye Family Members. They may still be useful."
"Yes."
After speaking, Zhao Yun organized the Doppelgangers to bind the Ye Family Members.
"You three guard the entrance. Things here have been resolved, so I'll report to the master.
As for those miners, don't touch them for now. Keep them under separate guard."
After speaking with Ye Zhengping and the others, Zhao Yun himself entered the Mine Tunnel.
"Has the soul search been completed?"
The three Doppelgangers nodded. "How should we deal with these three Ye Family Foundation Establishment cultivators?"
"They're no longer useful. When they wake up, keep those who still have their wits and can mine. Kill the ones who have gone stupid directly."
"Alright."
After Zhao Yun spoke, his figure disappeared.
Inside Chen Ze's Residence.
Chen Ze sensed Zhao Yun calling to him from within the Myriad Things Space. "It was resolved so quickly?"
"Ling'er, let him out!"
"Yes, Master."
In an instant, Zhao Yun appeared beside Chen Ze.
Zhao Yun bowed and said, "Master, the entire Mysterious Iron Ore Mine has been secured."
"Mm, well done."
Zhao Yun continued, "All the Ye Family Members have been subdued. Mining can begin at any time, but what should we do with the miners who were already there?"
Chen Ze said calmly, "Release all those miners. There's no great use in keeping them, and they were all forced to mine here."
At that moment, Zhao Ling'er, who had been standing nearby, suddenly spoke. "Master is kind-hearted, but if all these miners are released at once, someone is bound to discover it.
Then our seizure of the Ye Family's Mysterious Iron Ore Mine will immediately be exposed. That would be unfavorable to us for now."
After hearing Zhao Ling'er's words, Chen Ze pondered for a while. Zhao Ling'er's words were not without reason. "Do you have any good ideas, then?"
"Master, it's actually very simple. We only need to send these miners somewhere farther away."
"Send them farther away?" Chen Ze asked doubtfully.
"Yes, send them farther away, somewhere they cannot return to Wannan City and cannot come into contact with Ye Family Members.
Then no one will discover that we have taken over the Ye Family's Mysterious Iron Ore Mine."
"That's a good idea, but how would we send them away?
There are over a hundred people. It would be difficult not to attract attention." Chen Ze said helplessly.
"Master, sending them away is actually simple as well. It will only consume some Points."
As soon as Zhao Ling'er said that, Chen Ze instantly understood what she meant. "Then that is the only way. But we do not have enough Points right now, so they can only wait a little longer."
"Master, we can actually have them continue mining."
"What do you mean?"
"Master, have these hundred-plus miners continue mining for another month.
Don't exploit them. Let them mine normally, and let them rest when they should.
After a month, the ore they mine will become their travel expenses.
During this month, one Doppelganger can travel as far away from here as possible, to a place we have never visited.
Moreover, that Doppelganger can explore many unknown regions for us along the way. Perhaps it may even encounter other fortuitous opportunities on the road.
Once the Doppelganger finds a place that is both far away and safe, those miners can all leave."
Chen Ze carefully considered Zhao Ling'er's suggestion. "Mm, Ling'er, your idea is excellent. It simply kills several birds with one stone."
Chen Ze's praise made Zhao Ling'er cover her mouth and chuckle. Being acknowledged made her very happy.
Zhao Yun, who had been waiting at the side, looked in surprise at Zhao Ling'er, whose words were clear and well-organized, and silently pondered.
Have I missed something during this time? We're both Doppelgangers, so how can she think of so much?
Chen Ze immediately continued, "Zhao Yun, since you're here, you heard everything Ling'er just said. I'll leave this journey mission to you."
"Yes." Zhao Yun cupped his hands.
"Alright, go now! Leave the Mysterious Iron Ore Mine to those Doppelgangers with the Ye Family's appearance."
