"That makes sense!"

Xiahou Meng nodded: "It's a pity that only twenty-seven small mines were destroyed. It would have been better if they had been large mines!"

"Your Highness, don't underestimate these small mines. The Xuanming Sect has suffered even greater losses this time than last time. Each small mine has at least five or six billion spirit stones in reserves, and more than twenty of them would amount to hundreds of billions of spirit stones. That's enough to make the Xuanming Sect feel the pinch!"

"Indeed!" Xiahou Meng nodded: "Keep an eye on this matter and report any new developments to me immediately."

"Yes, Your Highness, this servant takes her leave!"

Lingyue Peak.

Yin Yutong, who was cultivating, suddenly received a transmission talisman.

But after hearing the message from the talisman, she suddenly stood up, broke the formation, and ran out of the wooden house.

This message came from her friend, informing the Xuanming Sect that another twenty-seven small mines had been bombed.

She immediately suspected that her junior brother had secretly slipped out again!

"Senior sister, is something the matter?"

Gao Yan activated the formation and invited Yin Yutong in.

"Junior brother, I just received news that twenty-seven small spirit stone mines of the Xuanming Sect have been blown up again. Could it be that you sneaked out while I was cultivating and did it?"

"Senior sister, you've wronged me. I haven't even left Lingyue Peak during this time. How could I have done it? If you don't believe me, you can check the records of our mountain-protecting formation!"

Each time the formation is activated with a magic incantation, a record is left on the formation plate.

After Xiao Lingyue went into seclusion in the secret realm, the array plate of the mountain-protecting formation was handed over to her. Therefore, after checking the records on the array plate, she found that her junior brother had indeed not left Lingyue Peak.

"I'm sorry, junior brother, I misunderstood you!"

Yin Yutong put away the array and circled the road.

"It's alright, senior sister, I know you're just concerned about me!" Gao Yan said dismissively.

"But junior brother, the Xuanming Sect has had so many mines destroyed, they're bound to be furious. Don't go out recklessly, or they'll definitely take their anger out on you if they run into any Xuanming Sect experts!"

Upon hearing this...

Gao Yan's heart tightened. He had stayed in Phoenix Perch City for three years and had met many people. If the Xuanming Sect still couldn't find the culprit who bombed their mine, they might pin the blame on him.

Then the Ye sisters are in danger!

With that in mind, he decided to let the Ye sisters return to my world for a while!

To avoid being implicated by him and falling into the hands of the Xuanming Sect.

So, under the pretext of cultivation, he sent Yin Yutong away, and then used the Anywhere Door to travel to the small courtyard in the south of Phoenix Perch City.

After explaining the situation to the Ye sisters.

They returned to my world without any complaints.

Although the spiritual energy in my world is scarce, they do not rely on the little spiritual energy in the world to cultivate.

Gao Yan returned to Lingyue Peak through the Anywhere Door in less than half a day.

Then a Golden Core disciple from the Xuanming Sect arrived.

Looking at the array that enveloped the courtyard, a disdainful sneer appeared on his lips.

He unleashed a magical artifact and began bombarding the formation.

After a while, the formation shattered.

But the Golden Core disciple's face darkened, because the courtyard was empty, without a single person in sight.
