Time flies, and more than two months have passed in the blink of an eye.
For some reason, as the time for the rotation approached, the head of the Zhuansun family, who was in charge of guarding the mine, felt uneasy, as if something big was about to happen, and was inexplicably fearful.
Those who cultivate immortality always have very sharp intuition, and such a clear hint made the people guarding the center of the mine extremely alert.
The teams that could have taken breaks were all sent out to patrol and guard the area non-stop every day.
Even the sea creatures in the waters surrounding the mine were almost all mobilized.
Among those captured were some intelligent individuals; they could not possibly have been unaware of such a large-scale operation by the Zhuansun family.
After making some inquiries, although no substantial information was obtained, it was clear that something big was about to happen.
In order to survive and seize the opportunity to escape, these people began to secretly contact acquaintances and form alliances.
For a moment, the entire mine was eerily quiet, as if a storm was brewing. Everyone seemed to be filled with a complex mix of unease and anticipation, waiting for things to happen.
The several Nascent Soul stage experts guarding the mine had the most to say about this. After much hesitation and discussion, they finally sent an aid request to the clan, hoping that the clan could send more people.
Unfortunately, since the incident had not yet occurred, they did not have enough evidence to prove that something bad would definitely happen, and the family's manpower was indeed limited.
The family didn't approve the aid request sent back; they just rejected it without being too forceful or too lenient, implying that they should figure it out themselves.
Upon receiving this reply, the faces of the several powerful cultivators who had reached the combined realm turned completely black. If it weren't for the fact that they couldn't leave easily, they would have really wanted to go back and give these people a good scolding.
Therefore, their second reply inevitably carried some anger. While sending a message to the clan, they also sent letters to their younger relatives or acquaintances, asking them to help urge the matter.
Finally, after their tireless efforts, the family symbolically sent a few more people to appease them.
It was said to be symbolic, but it was truly no exaggeration; those sent were all people with low cultivation levels and incredibly dense minds.
Upon seeing this group of people, if they weren't concerned about their image, several powerful cultivators at the Fusion Realm would probably have started cursing them out in public.
Wen Tianyin was also present at the time. After seeing the expressions on these people's faces, he ran over that same day and jokingly recounted the story to Shushu and the others.
It has retrieved the token it gave to the Zhuansun family. The original agreement was to protect the Xingxiu Que mineral vein, not to protect the Xingxiu Que mineral vein on behalf of the Zhuansun family.
Therefore, having exploited a loophole in the language, all it needs to do is protect the mine from destruction during the chaos of battle.
Given the preciousness of the mineral vein, only a fool or an extreme person would destroy it. Therefore, it hardly needs to expend any effort to fulfill this promise.
This is the main reason why it dares to cause destruction and cooperate with the millet and the others.
It's estimated that when the Zhuansun family finds out the truth, they'll be spitting blood. Who told them to bring back a villainous ally?
Unfortunately, by the time the Zhuansun family discovered all this, it was too late.
Back to the present, amidst everyone's eager anticipation, the day before the shift change finally arrived.
The mine and the surrounding sea remained calm and tranquil.
However, a one-sided war broke out on the three isolated islands where cultivators were imprisoned, as well as in the territory of the Zhuansun family.
In just half a day, the entire Zhuansun family, along with the three major families of Dongliangqiu, Nanshentu, and Xiwenren, and the city lord's mansion of Zheyan City, were taken over and all contact with the outside world was cut off.
It turns out that before Shushu and his group sent out the message, these families in Donglongjie had already suspected something and had been investigating it for years.
After receiving the message from Shushu and the others, those aristocratic families had a direction for their investigation and quickly found clues, including the abnormal loss of their fortune.
They were also clever and knew that this matter was tricky. After discussing it repeatedly, they awakened the family's "Sea-Stabilizing Needle" and then had it handed over to the Sea-Stabilizing Needle Sect to try to contact the Heavenly Dao of the World.
The Heavenly Dao of the world was unaware of why it had suddenly weakened and was hesitating whether to warn the world and seek help.
Upon hearing that they were coming, he showed up without any hesitation.
Then, with the combined efforts of both sides, they successfully discovered that the Zhuansun family had actually sided with the immortals and used the Heaven-Covering Leaf to deceive the Heavenly Dao, attempting to drain the fortune of the Eastern Long Realm and destroy it.
The reason why the Heavenly Dao suddenly weakened was also due to the severe loss of its fortune.
Once this lead was discovered, everything else was quickly uncovered as well.
For example, it was the Zhuansun family who discovered the star constellation Ketu, which allowed them to connect with the celestial realm.
The Zhuansun family wanted to climb the social ladder, seeking fame, fortune, and power; the immortal, on the other hand, desired the fortune and star power of the Eastern Long Realm. The two sides hit it off immediately and began to collude in evil deeds.
The spirit-suppressing powder used by the Zhuansun family was obtained from the immortals. In addition, the immortals gave them a magical artifact that could detect the presence and location of people with strong fortune.
Those chosen ones were targeted by them before they even had a chance to show their talents.
For nearly a century, the Zhuansun family has been quietly abducting many talented young people from the Eastern Long region, secretly controlling, taming, and imprisoning them, waiting for them to reach the peak of their fortunes before taking them away.
Among those captured were not only rogue cultivators with no one to rely on, but also people from the other three families and the central city.
Although the person who orchestrated everything never appeared within the Donglong Realm, everyone still found some clues and discovered that they were indeed intricately connected with Huaiyu.
Now, Donglong Realm has gathered all the evidence it has in hand, and once it has taken down the Zhuansun family, it will announce this matter to the entire lower realm.
At the same time, a copy of all the evidence will be made and handed over to the Tianji Pavilion in the Dawei Realm. Through the Pavilion Master, the information will be sent to the Upper Realm for a thorough investigation.
After all, Huaiyu was a person from the Immortal Realm with an immortal body. Even if they wanted to punish him, they were too far away to do so, so they could only leave it to the Upper Realm to handle.
But the Zhuansun family is different. As native people of the Donglong Realm, they attempted to destroy their own birthplace, which is simply unforgivable.
So the people of Donglongjie directly retaliated in kind.
First, a large number of people disguised themselves and infiltrated the city where the main family of the Zhuansun family was located. Then, they took all the remaining spirit-suppressing powder from the Zhuansun family and used it on themselves.
In this way, the people of Donglongjie easily took over the Zhuansun family with almost no losses.
The same applies to the three islands where the cultivators are imprisoned; the strange waters and defenses have long been controlled by others, making it impossible to issue a warning.
It wasn't until the ships and a large number of people came ashore that the guards realized something was wrong and tried to fight back with their weapons, but it was too late.
All of this was kept secret, and the people inside the mine were unaware of it.
But it won't be long, because the next day, everyone will launch a full-scale attack.
