Crisis at the Mine

This moment undoubtedly marked the final despair for everyone in the Chu Family.

With Chu Xifeng's death, Chu Xixu was also nearing its end.

"Everyone, disperse and evacuate!" Chu Xixu shouted.

Of course, he only had time to say this one sentence before he had to control his Law Artifact and continue to maneuver at a distance, not giving Ye Xueliang any chance to get close!

He could sense that Ye Xueliang's Spiritual Qi was being depleted very quickly, and he also sensed that the huge beast pattern was the Ye Family's biggest secret!

With this secret, even if the Ye Family is a Golden Core Lineage, the Ye Family Taiyi Sect will not let them go!

Just then, Blood Hawk unleashed its Blood Blade once more, slamming it into Chu Xixu's shield.

He groaned, only to find that he had lost sight of the Five-Colored Venom Lizard once again.

"Oh no!" He jumped up immediately!

But all he saw was a long tongue stabbing towards him, accompanied by huge earth spikes!

But it was still blocked by his flying sword.

But Qinglin's figure closed in again, and the simple, unadorned awl pierced his chest once more!

Chu Xixu is dead!

The other Qi Refining cultivators were also caught up and killed one by one.

The outer Array played an excellent role.

On the secluded Jade Snow Mountain, a figure dressed in a green robe hurried along.

He took out the Spirit Diagram and anxiously surveyed his surroundings.

What troubled him most was that it wasn't as authentic as he had imagined.

The tunnel leads to an underground river, from which one can leave directly from Jade Snow Mountain.

Even if the Ye Family has a sealed trapping array, he can still send out messages.

"Are you looking for the underground river?" a voice rang out.

This caused the monk's eyes to widen in surprise.

The next sound was a soft "pfft".

An old man's eyes met the dying eyes of the cultivator.

The two stared at each other strangely; if an outsider had witnessed this, they would have been startled.

In an instant, the blood-red light in the old man's eyes disappeared.

The figure casually cast an ice spell, freezing the ice sculpture. With another snap of its fingers, the ice sculpture vanished into nothingness, falling into the stream and being slowly carried downstream.

The old man put away his Storage Bag and disappeared quietly.

In the valley.

"Fifteenth Uncle!" Ye Xingyu bowed respectfully to the figure with green scales.

However, the latter has now transformed into a figure in Spirit-Isolating Robe.

The face is not visible.

But it greatly shocked the other cultivators of the Xing and Jing generations!

Surprisingly, Ye Haicheng isn't the highest-ranking member of the Ye Family; there's someone above him in the "Xue" generation.

The group couldn't help but recall that decades ago, the Ye Family had purchased Foundation Establishment, but they were stolen by an unknown force.

The last two members of the Xue generation both perished, and it just so happened that the Chu Family was responsible for that incident.

However, the Chu Family refused to acknowledge it that time.

It was only after the Ye Family produced evidence and took the matter to the Taiyi Sect that a settlement was reached.

In retrospect, the ambush at that time may not have been a complete victory for the Chu Family.

"No one is to divulge a single word of today's events, not even other clansmen with the same Beast-Link Mark. Also, collect all the Storage Bag first, and collect all the Fire-Pattern Rabbit, especially the cubs!" Ye Xingyu announced.

The Chu Family owns a miniature Spirit Stone mine, a Spirit Herb Garden, and raises a considerable number of Fire-Pattern Rabbit here.

Therefore, even though this place is close to the Taihang Mountain Range, the Chu Family is unwilling to give it up.

They even dispatched two Foundation Establishment cultivators to defend the area, showing how seriously they took the situation.

It should be noted that in the Taihang Mountain Range, Lineage Foundation Establishment Lineage typically has around five Foundation Establishment cultivators.

The Chu Family suffered a severe blow by losing two members at once.

All the cultivators nodded, but not one of them mentioned mining the veins.

Since mining takes too much time, it's best to do a little bit on the side.

"Everyone only has half an incense stick's time to collect the treasure before this place is engulfed in flames!"

"Also, the arrangements must be kept secret!" Ye Xingyu said.

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement. Ye Xingqun's Blackwood Ant and Five Poison Bee also dispersed. Apart from the Fire-Pattern Rabbit and Spirit Stone ore, the other treasures collected were distributed among the cultivators of each Lineage according to their harvest.

At the same time, they believed that killing a few of the remaining members of the Chu Family would yield even greater gains.

A moment later, Ye Xingqun emerged, holding a Storage Bag in his hand, his face beaming with joy.

"Xingyu, just as you said, there is a Fire Attribute spirit medicine here that is about to mature!"

"It's a Tier 2 Three-Star Fire-Pattern Fruit!"

"Seventh Brother, since you can raise Fire-Pattern Rabbit, there must be Fire Attribute Spirit Fruit Trees here. Although this place is next to Jade Snow Mountain, the warm wind enters the valley and clashes with the snow mountain. The abundant rainfall is no worse than Soaring Cloud Peak. Even according to feng shui, this place is a treasure land." Ye Xingyu nodded, but his eyes were full of joy.

After all, this Three-Star Fire-Pattern Fruit is most effective against second-tier Fire Attribute Demon Beast, but it can also save Fire Attribute cultivators from much arduous training.

Moreover, many of the main ingredients in second-tier Fire Attribute pills are these Three-Star Fire-Pattern Fruits.

"Seventh Brother, is everything ready?"

"The setup is complete. Now it's just a matter of seeing if they cooperate."

Within a quiet mountain peak, the terrain is treacherous, and there are numerous peaks.

One of the Chen Family cultivators, a Foundation Establishment, led a group of cultivators and quietly made their way forward.

Everyone was wearing specially made Spirit-Isolating Robe.

Only their eyes were visible; each of them wore a Jade Ring on their arm, Jade Ring was used to identify them.

"Everyone get ready! The Ye Family's Spirit Stone mine is just ahead. The Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Ye Family are definitely all in Taihang Marketplace and their clan mountain right now. Even if there are any hidden ones, they will head to Taichang Market!" The leading Foundation Establishment cultivator said excitedly.

For them, the Ye Family had only recently acquired this Spirit Stone mine, so they must have plenty of Spirit Stone. Moreover, for most Lineage, Spirit Stone mines wouldn't be mined too quickly.

In this way, the Spirit Vein below will continue to nurture new Spirit Stone. Although it cannot be truly sustainable, over time, it can still produce a considerable number of Spirit Stone.

"Fifth Uncle, should we conduct a preliminary survey?" someone asked.

"No need for reconnaissance. The Ye Family's Spirit Beast are too unpredictable. Let's go straight up. We've even brought our clan's guardian Spirit Beast this time. We don't need to fear even if the Ye Family has Foundation Establishment!"

"Break the formation directly with array runes!"

"Break the Array and then go in and start the slaughter!"

"As long as no one is left alive, the Ye Family will assume it's the Li Family, and they'll let them fight like dogs!"

The man nodded repeatedly upon hearing this, then took out Spirit Talisman and slapped it towards a patch of forest in front of him.

As expected, a protective barrier appeared as soon as the shot was made.

This spiritual barrier is extremely dense, and it appears to have formidable defensive capabilities.

At that moment, the Spirit Talisman that had just been activated instantly blossomed.

With a thunderous Array, the array's protective barrier collapsed, and the Chen Family's Foundation Establishment led their followers into the Spirit Stone mine.

Meanwhile, an even larger trap quietly formed around the mountain peak.

This was also the Chen Family's way of preventing the Ye Family from escaping.

The Array they set up clearly showed that all of this was premeditated!
