Although the strange situation had just left the two of them somewhat dazed,

But more than anything, I was excited!

Originally, the two of them were just there to go through the motions and see how things were going.

With the Heavenly Demon Sect present,

The Great Gentleman had long been prepared to lose this mine.

The Qingyun Sect has just joined the Chunyang Palace's camp, so requesting reinforcements at this time would undoubtedly be somewhat presumptuous.

Besides, Ye Feng had just beaten up Yang Fan...

Not only that, I heard that True Lord Chiyang encountered an accident on his way back!

If the Qingyun Sect cannot resolve this matter on its own this time, the general plan is to simply hand over the Qingluo Mine to the Chunyang Sect.

That would offset the offerings made through affiliation!

Of course, deep down, Qingjian and Muxue still wanted to try their luck.

Even if there are envoys from the Heavenly Demon Sect in the Luoshui Sect, this mine still belongs to the Luoshui Sect.

Those who died were also disciples of the Black Cloud Sect.

The two sects have joined forces to resist the Black Cloud Sect's demonic forces for many years; there is still a chance to try and win them over based on this friendship.

If it works out, even if the Luoshui Sect gets a larger share of the profits, it will still be worthwhile.

But now... Ye Feng has given them such a big shock.

Nascent Soul Stage!

A Nascent Soul cultivator capable of teleportation!

A Nascent Soul cultivator who is 25 years old and can teleport!

It can be said that as long as Ye Feng is there, the Qingyun Sect can be guaranteed to remain undefeated for nearly a thousand years!

Compared to this matter, the Qingluo Mine is not that important.

No matter how many resources you have, they are only useful if you have enough talented disciples to convert them into strength.

Otherwise, it will be the root of trouble.

The Qingluo Mine's reserves are perhaps worth three to five million high-grade spirit stones; if half of them were used, that would be nearly two million high-grade spirit stones.

However, the mining, protection, refining, and sale of these products over a period of hundreds of years also consume a considerable amount of resources.

If you can sell them in a package, you'd be lucky to get four or five hundred thousand worth of high-quality goods.

Can four or five hundred thousand high-grade spirit stones be exchanged for a Nascent Soul cultivator?

The Qingyun Sect has twenty to thirty thousand menial servants, nearly a thousand Foundation Establishment cultivators, and dozens of Golden Core cultivators...

The resources consumed each year amount to tens of thousands of high-grade spirit stones.

But in the past thousand years, only two True Lords have emerged, and one of them died young.

And now... suddenly one pops up...

This is really...

"I'll go send a message to the sect and let everyone be happy!"

Just as Master Qingjian was about to leave, the warning sound of the flying boat suddenly rang out.

This is... a hostile force has been detected, and it's rapidly approaching!

I just don't know if it's the Luoshui Sect or the Black Cloud Sect that's coming?

It's still the Heavenly Demon Sect...

As the flying boat drew closer, Mu Xue and her companion, standing at the front, breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing the insignia of the Luoshui Sect.

It seems this time it won't be so troublesome...

———

Inside the flying boat of the Luoshui Sect,

Jade Demon True Lord revealed a smirk.

"It seems the Qingyun Sect isn't as friendly as you thought. Their flying boats arrived much faster than yours!"

Upon hearing this, both Luo Shuizong and the other remained silent.

At this moment, Tan Xia and Tang Fen, who were stationed at the mine, also arrived on the flying boat.

Tan Xia, whose face was still somewhat pale, finished reporting the matter to the sect leader and elders in fits and starts.

Sect Leader Lily, Foreign Affairs Elder Blueberry

After hearing the report, both of them looked at Jade Demon True Monarch with somewhat grim expressions.

It turns out that a level 3 iron concentrate has been discovered in the mine!

Judging from their expressions, they probably already knew...

Perhaps all of this was a staged performance by them.

Yuri's guess was pretty accurate, but to say it was all staged by herself is a misunderstanding.

In truth, it was purely coincidental. Originally, Obsidian Demon only wanted to back up Chen Gui and make a profit.

Who knew that Chen Gui's actions would turn things into this...

"Heh... Mysterious man, I think he's clearly from the Qingyun Sect!"

Jade Demon True Lord could tell at a glance that Tan Xia was hiding something, but he wasn't in a hurry to use magic to interrogate her.

What if forcing the answer doesn't yield the result you want? Wouldn't that be counterproductive?

This is just right!

The person died, and it happened on Qingyun Sect's territory!

This Chen Gui is truly a lucky star for his father and son; even his death was so worthwhile!

"Father, leave this matter to me! I'm sure the Qingyun Sect will give me a reasonable explanation. They wouldn't dare to attack me as well, would they?"

To attack the Demon Prince of the Upper Sect?

The father and son exchanged a glance and both burst into hearty laughter.

"Haha...good! Since the Luoshui Sect is compensating you with the mine, it's natural that you should step forward! You now represent the Heavenly Demon Sect. Facing a mid-level sect, you must remember not to diminish the prestige of a superior sect!"

"Hehe... Father, don't worry!"

Master Baihe sighed inwardly; this time, the Qingyun Sect couldn't escape its fate.

Judging from their expressions, they were clearly preparing to recreate the scene that occurred at the Luoshui Sect...

Now, I just hope that there won't be too many casualties in the end.

Both airships were hovering outside the mine.

Whether it's a quarrel or a major battle, neither side wants to destroy the mine or affect the miners below.

Mu Xue and Qing Jian stood at the front of the flying boat, watching Tan Xia and her companion go to report. A moment later, two more people emerged from the opposite flying boat.

There was a man and a woman. The man was unknown, but the woman was the sect leader of Luoshui Sect, Baihe Zhenren!

Mu Xue and the other woman exchanged a glance, both finding the situation troublesome.

I never expected that this matter would bring Yuri Makoto herself here...

Moreover, there are no men in the Luoshui Sect. The other person is not from the Black Cloud Sect, so it must be... the Heavenly Demon Sect!

Ye Feng was nowhere to be found at this time. There were only two of them, so one of them had to go and the other had to provide support.

Mu Xue flew to the center, stopped there, and bowed towards the front.

"Qingyun Sect's Muxue greets Sect Master Baihe!"

Lord Lily nodded.

"Mu Xue, it's been a long time... This is the third Demon Prince of the Heavenly Demon Sect, True Man Hei Yao!"

Master Muxue was startled and turned to pay her respects.

"Qingyun Sect's Muxue greets Black Obsidian Demon Prince!"

Looking at the True Immortal Muxue before him, a lewd glint flashed in the eyes of the Obsidian Demon Prince, but he quickly suppressed it.

"Enough with the nonsense! Two of my men died on your turf! What explanation do you have for that?"

"Reporting to the Obsidian Demon Prince, your esteemed family was not harmed by my Azure Cloud Sect, but by a mysterious person..."

"fart!"

Before Mu Xue could finish speaking, she was rudely interrupted by the Obsidian Demon Prince.

"Now that the person is dead, you think you can just make up some mysterious figure and get away with it? There's no such easy way out!"

"Since you claim there's some mysterious person, you have one incense stick's time to hand them over! As for now..."

The Obsidian Demon Prince shifted his gaze and looked down.

"Now that I've lost my men, you'll be responsible for finding two people to serve me... those two down there are quite good. Call them over, I need to relax!"

Mu Xue looked at Baihe Zhenren, who kept secretly shaking her head at her.

Then look at Li Qinghe below, with his bamboo sword.

They were caught in a dilemma.
