"Reporting to the Sect Master, three days ago, Ye Gang was summoned back to the Nine Palaces Sect. He also took two Golden Core cultivators with him. At present, Boundary Mountain is under Kong Ji's management. Across all of Boundary Mountain, only three Golden Core cultivators remain stationed there," Yu Wen said.
Ye Gang had managed the Boundary Mountain Spirit Stone Mine for nearly sixty years without ever making a single mistake, earning the Nine Palaces Sect's deep trust. Kong Ji, meanwhile, was Ye Gang's deputy and possessed only mid-stage Golden Core cultivation.
Upon hearing this, the corners of Song Wen's lips curled slightly into a smile.
Clearly, after Xi Ling and Tai He died, the Nine Palaces Sect had only Tong Hua and Hao Kong, two Nascent Soul Early Stage cultivators, remaining. The two had sensed the danger and had no choice but to contract their territory.
Yet the profits from Boundary Mountain were simply too abundant for them to give up easily.
"Gather the men and follow me to attack Boundary Mountain," Song Wen said.
"Attack Boundary Mountain?" Yu Wen hesitated. "Sect Master, forgive this subordinate for speaking bluntly. With the sect's current strength, even if we capture Boundary Mountain, I fear we will not be able to hold it. The Nine Palaces Sect will surely counterattack."
Song Wen gave a cold smile. "Rest assured. Xi Ling and Tai He are already dead. The Nine Palaces Sect no longer has the strength to meddle in Forgotten World Ridge."
"Xi Ling and Tai He are dead!" Yu Wen's eyes widened, her face full of disbelief.
Song Wen nodded slightly. "Hall Master Yu, hurry and gather the disciples, lest someone else beat us to Boundary Mountain."
"Yes!"
Yu Wen bowed and took her leave, swiftly exiting the main hall.
