Chihuo Martial City was surrounded by mountains on three sides. The Spirit Crystal Mine defensive zone of the Crimson Fire Branch Hall lay deep within the northern mountain range, roughly eight hundred li from Chihuo Martial City.

For martial artists with riding mounts, eight hundred li was only a little over half a quarter-hour's journey. This was also one reason the Crimson Fire Branch Hall's defensive strategy could succeed.

Once an attack came, the distance of eight hundred li allowed the Crimson Fire Branch Hall to dispatch reinforcements swiftly.

At this moment, Ye Zhen was leading the Crimson Fire Branch Hall's forces straight toward the Spirit Crystal Mine defensive zone. This time, he had brought a hundred Soul Sea Realm martial artists and transferred twenty Pulse Forging Realm martial artists from the Crimson Fire Branch Hall. Including Ye Zhen, Zuo Xiong, and the two Law Enforcement Hall enforcers, they had assembled a total of thirty Pulse Forging Realm martial artists.

Under the present circumstances, Ye Zhen did not dare to strip the Crimson Fire Branch Hall of all its martial artists.

Moreover, Ye Zhen's party had been extremely cautious along the way, dispatching scouts one after another. Ye Zhen's Spiritual Sense had even attached itself to Earth Spirit Energy and extended more than twenty li outward.

If they fell for Flying Tiger Hall's scheme of luring the tiger from the mountain and were ambushed halfway, they would become a huge joke.

However, as they drew closer and closer to the Spirit Crystal Mine defensive zone, Ye Zhen basically ruled out that possibility. Along the way, he had discovered at least four groups of scouts dressed in Flying Tiger Hall Black Tiger Guard uniforms.

After discovering Ye Zhen's group, those people swiftly withdrew without provoking any conflict.
