After that, the Qian Family harassed them again and again.
Elder Yu caught them one by one, beat them until they coughed blood, then tossed them at the Qian Family's front gate, taking a few Spirit Stones along the way.
But the Qian Family still refused to give up, and Elder Yu eventually had times when he could not keep watch.
It was like catching rats, one after another—troublesome and disgusting. If even a few slipped through, future troubles would follow.
Some craftsmen were injured, some buildings were destroyed, and several Arrays were smeared over. The progress of the entire project was delayed.
Elder Yu could only have the Demon Hunters stand guard day and night, watching the Qian Family's people in case they caused trouble.
But such a large Artifact Refining Guild had yet to be completed, and there were gaps everywhere. Causing trouble was easy; guarding against it was difficult.
The Qian Family cultivators acted like thieves, smashing one place and then switching to another. By the time they arrived, the Qian Family cultivators had long since run away.
And it was impossible for all the Demon Hunters to guard this place day and night, wasting so much manpower for nothing.
For a time, Elder Yu also grew somewhat irritable.
