"Kill him!" Fang Yanzhu had just finished shouting when Xuan'er's voice suddenly rang out, "Wait!"
The army that was about to take action stopped instantly, and everyone turned their eyes to Xuan'er.
"Who said there is no way to prove it? Look what this is!" Xuan'er took out a green bamboo from her arms and threw it lightly. The green bamboo pierced into the floor with a whoosh. A powerful pressure emanated from the green bamboo, and the terrible air wave shook people and horses to the ground.
"What is this?" Fang Yanzhu and Zou Wen also took a step back, staring at the green bamboo on the ground.
"These are the Demon Emperor's Green Bamboo Soldiers! What? Are you planning a rebellion?" Xuan'er looked at the surrounding troops, her voice tinged with authority. Her gaze swept through the crowd like a sharp sword, sending a chill down their spines.
All the soldiers were a little frightened, looking around and slowly retreating with their companions.
"It's fake, all of this is fake. Don't believe her! Kill them! Kill them!" Fang Yanzhu shouted, signaling them to move forward. However, the imperial might emanating from the green bamboo still permeated the air, and none of the soldiers dared to move forward. No matter how he shouted, no one paid any attention to him.
"Stop shouting! Let's join forces. You find a way to capture that woman, and I'll hold Yu Kai back!" Zou Wen took the lead and rushed forward with a long sword in his hand. The sword light was dazzling, heading straight for Yu Kai.
"Let's fight!" Fang Yanzhu gritted his teeth and rushed forward with his gun. He raised the spear high and stabbed at Xuan'er, "Die!"
Both men unleashed their strongest attacks. Just as everyone panicked, Yu Kai gently clamped Zou Wen's powerful sword with two fingers. No matter how he struggled, he couldn't break free.
Yu Kai pulled him close with two fingers and slapped him away. With a loud bang, Zou Wen crashed into the ground, creating a large crater. Blood continued to spit from the corner of his mouth, and he pointed at Yu Kai, trembling as he said, "You...you've ruined my cultivation!"
On the other side of the battle, the situation was also settled at this moment. Fang Yanzhu's spearmanship, though agile, was easily blocked by the green bamboo shadow above Xuan'er's head. She then took out an alchemy furnace and smashed it hard against Fang Yanzhu's head. With a single thud, Fang Yanzhu felt the world spin, his mind went blank, and he fell heavily to the ground, his blood instantly staining the ground red. His body twitched a few times before he was silent.
"Dead? Was he beaten to death by me?" Xuan'er looked at Yu Kai with an innocent look on her face.
"Girl! You actually hit me with this!" The Qiankun Spirit Gathering Furnace shook with anger, looking reluctant.
Xuan'er just chuckled and said, "Grandpa Danlu, you can continue to sleep!" As she said that, she immediately put the Qiankun Soul Gathering Furnace into her soul sea.
Yu Kai smiled slightly.
A soul floated out of Fang Yanzhu's mind and tried to escape in the chaos, but was captured by Yu Kai. It all ended so quickly that everyone around was shocked and speechless.
"Who is that woman? Why is she so strong? And how come that alchemy furnace can talk?" Everyone was full of questions, their eyes filled with shock and confusion.
"Tell me, who asked you to come?" Yu Kai held Fang Yanzhu's soul tightly and asked in a deep voice.
"Let me go immediately! I am a general guarding an area of the imperial court, and a disciple of the Danxiao Sect. In order to protect the Shengying Dynasty, even our ancestor died at Tiexue Pass!" Fang Yanzhu struggled desperately in Yu Kai's hands, trying to break free.
"Your ancestor did make contributions, but does his contribution allow you to steal the earth's spiritual veins at will?" Yu Kai's face turned cold in an instant.
"You...what do you mean? I don't understand!" Fang Yanzhu was shocked and avoided looking, trying to cover up.
"When I was in Fentian City, I felt strange. Why did the underground spiritual veins look thick, but the spiritual power was very scarce? It was not until I came to Yucheng Prefecture that I understood what was going on." Yu Kai's eyes were cold and his tone was firm.
"What's going on? Why didn't you tell me?" Xuan'er came over curiously, her eyes full of confusion.
"When I was setting up the spiritual vein formation in front of your parents' grave, I discovered that there was a problem with the spiritual vein of the Shengying Dynasty. Although the entire spiritual vein is thick, the spiritual power is extremely thin. Even the dragon vein of the imperial capital has been seriously affected." Yu Kai said seriously, with a hint of worry in his voice.
"Then what did you find here?" Xuan'er was even more curious. Qin Hai, who was blown away, and the soldiers around him all looked over.
"I discovered a large amount of mined spirit crystals in two places earlier!" Yu Kai looked at Fang Yanzhu, a cold glint in his eyes. "Those two places are where the Yucheng Palace Master and you live! You are mining the earth's spirit veins, and it is your mining that has slowed down everyone's cultivation!"
"What?" Everyone was shocked. A soldier trembled and said, "Our Holy Ying Dynasty has issued an iron order, strictly prohibiting anyone from mining the earth's spiritual veins! If anyone is found... all nine clans will be executed!"
"Yes! The Palace Master and the General are actually secretly mining spiritual veins. No wonder they are cultivating so quickly!" Someone exclaimed, his voice full of anger and disbelief.
"That's not right? Even the dragon veins of the imperial capital have been affected. How many spiritual veins have to be mined? There aren't that many spiritual veins in Yucheng Prefecture for them to mine, right?" Xuan'er asked curiously, her eyes full of confusion.
"You've all turned over all the spirit crystals you've mined to the Danxiao Sect, right? If I'm not mistaken, every city controlled by your Danxiao Sect is mining them, right?" Yu Kai's voice was filled with murderous intent, a hint of anger. The spirit ore in this vast immortal realm is almost completely depleted. Aside from this core area, the surrounding areas are practically all waste planets, drained of spiritual energy. If this continues, even a Heavenly Venerable or Great Venerable will be hard to find in the vast immortal realm.
"So what? I tell you, let me go immediately! The six great elders of my Danxiao Sect have all reached the peak strength of the Heavenly Venerate, and we are the pillars of the Shengying Dynasty. Without us, the entire Shengying Dynasty will be an empty shell. It will soon decline!" Fang Yanzhu knew that the matter was exposed, and as long as he went to various places to investigate, he would get the results immediately. He no longer hid it, but became arrogant.
"No wonder! No wonder the Danxiao Sect has produced so many masters in recent years, and they will try every means to control each city wherever they go. It turns out that they want to secretly mine the spiritual veins." Qin Hai exclaimed with his swollen left cheek, his voice full of anger and grief.
"No wonder you have developed so fast. No matter how hard our Lingyun Sect tried, we were always suppressed by you. You actually used the spiritual veins of the entire Shengying Dynasty on yourselves!" Qin Hai's face was full of grief and indignation.
"Let me go quickly! I have already sent a message to our Supreme Elder, and they will be here soon. No matter how powerful you are, you can't deal with the six top Heavenly Masters joining forces at the same time!" Fang Yanzhu looked at Yu Kai and sneered, as if he was sure that he would be rescued soon.
