Fire Origin Mine, Blazing Fire Sect!

Meanwhile.

Inside the Su Estate's courtyard, several people lay sprawled about.

Su Yun recognized them all; they were escorts from the Cloud Lin Escort Agency, along with some household servants.

But at this moment, they were all severely injured, groaning and trembling.

The ground was also stained with splotches of blood.

Seeing this scene, Su Yun couldn't help but frown.

"Big Brother, what happened?"

He approached Su Lin and asked.

Su Lin, seated on a wooden chair, was deep in thought, frowning over something.

Upon hearing Su Yun's voice, he startled, quickly looked up, and then his face lit up with joy.

"Third Brother, you're finally back!"

He had been under immense pressure during this time, often suffering from insomnia, appearing haggard with significant dark circles under his eyes.

Even his temples had begun to show streaks of white hair.

But now that Su Yun had returned, he finally felt a sense of confidence.

At this point, Su Lin slowly began to recount the events.

His expression was bitter as he said, "Third Brother, you have no idea."

"Ever since you sent back the recipe for the Body Tempering Pill last time, our Su Estate has been gathering the ingredients to have Xiao Ling'er refine it."

"Gradually, our business grew, and we accumulated considerable wealth, but the number of forces eyeing us also increased."

"However, they were wary of your identity and didn't dare to trouble our Su Estate."

"Five days ago, a guest martial artist of our Su Estate, while in the mountains outside the city, luckily discovered a Fire Origin Mine."

"This ore can be used to refine Yellow-tier weapons and is quite valuable."

"Afterward, our Su Estate dispatched a large number of people to mine the Fire Origin Ore, and we had a substantial harvest."

"However, once the news leaked, martial artists from the Blazing Fire Sect immediately arrived!"

"They not only occupied the Fire Origin Mine and confiscated the ore we had collected but also injured many escorts and servants."

"If not for your status as an outer disciple of the Mystic Blade Sect, which is not low, those martial artists probably wouldn't have cared about our lives and would have directly wiped us out!"

Su Lin gritted his teeth, his expression grim.

The mine was seized, and people were injured.

Who wouldn't be upset?

After listening, Su Yun's gaze also turned cold.

The Blazing Fire Sect!

He naturally knew of this sect.

This sect was considered the foremost sect in Glaze Prefecture and one of the reclusive sects, quite mysterious, never recruiting disciples from outside.

Although the Blazing Fire Sect couldn't compare to top sects like the Mystic Blade Sect, it was still a behemoth to many martial artists.

Therefore, even though the mine was seized and people were injured, Su Lin, harboring resentment, dared not resist rashly.

Otherwise, it would be like throwing an egg against a rock.

"Big Brother, where is the Fire Origin Mine outside the city?"

Snapping back to reality, Su Yun asked.

"Third Brother, let's just forget about it."

Thinking of those powerful martial artists, Su Lin's face showed worry.

He tried to dissuade him.

"You've only recently joined the Mystic Blade Sect, and your status is merely that of an outer disciple. I doubt you can deter the Blazing Fire Sect."

"Moreover, the Blazing Fire Sect seems to attach great importance to this mine, having dispatched over a dozen Mystic Profound Realm martial artists to guard it."

"I've thought about it carefully, and we can only grit our teeth and accept this loss."

"If a fight were to break out, we might be fine, at most sustaining some injuries. The Blazing Fire Sect wouldn't dare to kill us outright and offend the Mystic Blade Sect."

"But these escorts and servants in the estate would likely all die!"

"Accept the loss?"

After listening, Su Yun shook his head and chuckled, "Big Brother, take a look."

"Compared to before, what difference do you see in the disciple robes I'm wearing now?"

"Disciple robes?"

Su Lin was stunned for a moment, then looked closely.

He had been fretting over this matter just now and hadn't truly paid attention to the disciple robes Su Yun was wearing.

But now, upon closer inspection, his eyes suddenly lit up!

The disciple robes Su Yun wore were clearly different from before.

They had become much more luxurious.

Consequently, a bold guess immediately formed in his heart.

"Third brother, could it be that you have already become an inner sect disciple?"

Su Lin's expression was full of pleasant surprise.

"That's right."

Su Yun nodded slowly, then said with a smile.

"Big brother, I will handle this matter; you just need to tell me the location."

"Haha! Good! Good!"

Su Lin nodded with a hearty laugh, his mood extremely agitated.

He knew very well that Su Yun had been cultivating for less than two months.

In less than two months, his cultivation had broken through to the Mystic Profound Realm, and he had become an inner sect disciple of the Mystic Blade Sect!

This speed of cultivation was simply too exaggerated!

Collecting his thoughts, Su Lin hurriedly revealed the general location of the Fire Origin Mine.

At this moment, Chen Ying, who was less severely injured, immediately stood up and spoke with an excited expression.

"Third Young Master, I will take you there!"

He had been one of the miners back then, so he naturally knew the specific location of the Fire Origin Mine.

Moreover, he had been nursing a belly full of anger ever since he was injured.

Now that Su Yun was going to cause trouble for the Blazing Fire Sect, he naturally wanted to witness it with his own eyes.

"Very well."

Su Yun looked at him and nodded slowly.

"Hmm? Didn't our Blazing Fire Sect already warn you not to approach this place again?"

"What, does your Su Estate actually dare to send people over to provoke our Blazing Fire Sect?"

"Do you really think that just because you have an outer sect disciple of the Mystic Blade Sect backing you, our Blazing Fire Sect wouldn't dare to wipe out your Su Estate?"

Su Yun and Chen Ying had just arrived at the location of the Fire Origin Mine.

The martial artists stationed on the perimeter immediately shouted and scolded.

They all possessed the cultivation of the ninth level of Body Refining.

There were over a dozen of them in total.

Before this, these people alone would have been enough to suppress all the martial artists of the Su Estate.

"Simply laughable!"

"Open your dog eyes and look clearly: my Third Young Master is now an inner sect disciple of the Mystic Blade Sect!"

Chen Ying looked around at the crowd and let out a cold snort.

"An inner sect disciple of the Mystic Blade Sect?"

Upon hearing this, the dozen or so men hurriedly looked at Su Yun.

Immediately after, they laughed.

"Kid, I know you; you're Su Yun, right?"

"I heard that you only joined the Mystic Blade Sect not long ago—it shouldn't even be two months yet, right?"

"Do you know that impersonating an inner sect disciple of the Mystic Blade Sect is a capital offense?"

One of the burly men walked up to Su Yun, his expression mocking.

Although their Blazing Fire Sect had been reclusive for a long time, they occasionally collected information from the outside world.

When they occupied this mine, they hadn't been careless and had investigated the Su Estate within the city.

Therefore, they knew that the Su Estate's true backing was Su Yun, an outer sect disciple of the Mystic Blade Sect.

As for Su Yun previously opening up trade routes and wiping out the Black Cloud Stronghold, in their eyes, it wasn't even worth mentioning.

If it weren't for their fear of the Mystic Blade Sect behind Su Yun, they would have wiped out those people in the Su Estate long ago when they occupied the mine.

After all, only the dead can keep secrets!

"A capital offense?"

At this moment, facing the burly man's mockery, Su Yun smiled.

Then, he pointed two fingers and waved.

Swish!

In an instant, a bloody blade light shot out from him, piercing the burly man's body!

As blood splattered, the burly man's body flew backward rapidly.

Then, with a boom, he smashed into the ground!

Crack!

In a flash, the ground split open!

A headless corpse lay in a pool of blood.

His fingers trembled a few times before gradually falling still.

"This..."

The remaining dozen or so Body Refining ninth-stage martial artists, seeing this scene, were all shocked, their pupils constricting!

This burly man's strength was not bad; he had fought Chen Ying before and easily injured him.

Yet now, he was instantly killed by a casual strike from Su Yun!

What kind of strength was this?

Snapping back to their senses, these Body Refining realm martial artists retreated several steps.

They stared intently at Su Yun.

Their expressions were filled with extreme terror!

"The guardian of this place, get out here and see me."

The next moment, Su Yun completely ignored them, his tone indifferent.

As soon as his voice fell, the scene fell silent.

Hearing this, the Body Refining realm martial artists' eyes widened, and they didn't dare to breathe.

"This person is dead for sure!"

This was the first thought that flashed through their minds.

Whoosh!

In the whistling cold wind.

Only Su Yun's voice echoed in all directions.

Chen Ying, standing beside him, was also a little dumbfounded at this moment.

After instantly killing a Body Refining ninth-stage martial artist, he directly ordered the Blazing Fire Sect's guardian to come out!

This was too audacious!

Looking at Su Yun's back.

Chen Ying couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

"Young Master's temperament is truly the same as when he destroyed Black Cloud Stronghold."

"Ruthless and not one for many words!"
