A sound of metal clashing was heard, and only a shallow mark was left on the shell of the Earth Dragon Centipede.
Meng Wan frowned slightly. It seemed that the shell of this earth dragon centipede was indeed very hard.
At this moment, Qingyu's voice suddenly came, "Junior Sister Meng Wan, I'm here to help you!"
Qingyu took out the green mirror in his hand, and a green light emanated from the mirror and shot towards the earth dragon centipede.
The green light fell on the centipede, and a look of confusion appeared in the eyes of the Earth Dragon Centipede.
Meng Wan and Li Potian took the opportunity to attack and beat up the exposed head of the Earth Dragon Centipede.
The centipede let out a shrill scream, quickly burrowed into the ground and disappeared.
After dealing with the centipede, everyone continued to move forward and finally arrived at the mining area smoothly.
Before he met up with the elders of the sect, he first encountered people from the Jinyun Sect and the Shenyi Sect.
Qin Shaoyang, the "Jin Guang Daozi" of Jinyun Sect, was dressed in a golden robe and had a handsome face, looking like a graceful young man.
Huali, the "Flower Shadow Saint" of Shenyi Sect, is dressed in white, with a beautiful appearance and an unworldly temperament.
When the disciples of Jinyun Sect and Shenyi Sect looked at Meng Wan and the others and recognized that they were wearing the Xuanyin Sect's iconic black and red clothing, their expressions suddenly changed.
"Demon cultivator! It's the demon child from Xuanyin Sect!"
Someone exclaimed in a low voice, their tone filled with disgust.
A Jinyun Sect disciple sneered, "A group of demonic cultivators with dirty methods dared to set foot here. They truly defiled this sacred land."
"Exactly. A bunch of evil demons and heretics, are you worthy enough to compete with us for resources?"
Another disciple of the Divine Will Sect echoed, his eyes full of contempt.
When Li Potian heard this, a look of displeasure flashed in his eyes.
She took a step forward, and her figure instantly appeared in front of the Jinyun Sect disciple, raising her hand and slapping him.
With a crisp "pa" sound, the disciple was knocked flying, and his cheek swelled up instantly.
"You dare to hit me?!"
The disciple covered his face and looked at Li Potian in disbelief.
"Do I have to choose a time to hit you?"
Li Potian sneered, "You also said that we are demon cultivators. If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will beat you to death!"
"presumptuous!"
Seeing this, Qin Shaoyang's face darkened and he took a step forward to stand in front of the disciple.
"Li Potian, aren't you too arrogant?"
Huali also frowned slightly and said, "It was just a joke from one of our disciples. Li Potian, your attack was a bit too heavy."
Li Potian snorted coldly and looked down upon the two of them without any fear on his face.
"It's not your turn to dictate what my Xuanyin Sect does! What's going on? Are you, the Jinyun Sect and the Shenyi Sect, planning a war with my Xuanyin Sect?"
Qin Shaoyang and Huali's expressions changed slightly. Although they looked down on the evil cultivators of Xuanyin Sect, they did not want to conflict with them at this time.
After all, their main goal is to compete for the resources in the mineral veins, not to fight to the death with the Xuanyin Sect.
However, asking them to bow down to the demon cultivators they despised the most in public was also against their will.
Just then, Meng Wan suddenly spoke.
"Everyone, the official fight hasn't even begun yet, why waste time and energy here?"
She spoke calmly and smiled, as if nothing had happened.
Qin Shaoyang snorted coldly, turned his sleeves and left, followed closely by the disciples of Jinyun Sect.
Huali gave Meng Wan a meaningful look, then turned gracefully with the people from Shenyi Sect and disappeared from everyone's sight.
After the two sects' disciples left, Li Potian looked indignant.
"Junior Sister Meng, why did you try to stop me just now? If the three of us work together, even if we can't take down both Qin Shaoyang and Hua Li, we can still seriously injure one of them."
Hearing Li Potian's accusations against Meng Wan, Qingyu just smiled and said nothing, as if he was not involved.
Meng Wan chuckled and said calmly.
"Senior Sister Li, in that situation, even if we could gain a temporary advantage, the final result would be more than the gain."
She paused, met Li Potian's thoughtful gaze, and continued to explain.
"Don't forget, this is a mining area, where masters from various sects gather. Our every move may fall into the consciousness of a Jindan cultivator.
Besides, deliberately provoking a fight would be too deliberate and would make others even more wary and cautious of the Xuanyin Sect. It would be better to step back and wait for the right opportunity."
Hearing this, Qingyu nodded in agreement.
"Junior Sister Meng is right. We should prioritize the overall situation."
Li Potian didn't say anything else and led everyone to the place where they would meet the Jindan elder of their sect.
Soon, the two came to a quiet valley.
The valley is filled with spiritual energy, and several exquisite pavilions can be vaguely seen hidden among the green bamboos.
"This is it."
After entering the valley, Li Potian asked the others to wait outside the pavilion, while he walked towards the room with Meng Wan and Qing Yu.
After taking a few steps, a clear voice came: "You have finally arrived. I have been waiting here for a long time."
A woman dressed in white and with a beautiful face walked out of a pavilion. She was the Jindan Elder of Xuanyin Sect, Fairy Wumeng.
She looked at the three of them with a smile, her eyes full of concern.
The three of them hurried forward and saluted: "Greetings, Senior Wu Meng."
"No need to be polite, come in."
Fairy Wumeng nodded and led the three people into an elegantly decorated pavilion.
After sitting down, Fairy Wumeng spoke with a smile.
“This battle for the mineral vein is of no small importance.
This vein contains a special ore called 'Star Meteorite Iron', which can be used to refine high-level magical tools and is even of great benefit to physical cultivation."
She tapped the tabletop lightly with her delicate jade fingers and continued, "According to my observation, the reserves of meteorite iron here are far greater than ever before. I'm sure it will lead to a fierce battle."
Li Potian's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he asked anxiously, "Senior, what exactly is the content of the competition? Does it mean that whoever digs up the most meteorite iron will win?"
Fairy Wumeng shook her head and chuckled.
"The specific details have not yet been announced. We will have to wait until all the people from all sects and schools have arrived. Only then will the elders of the five sects presiding over this mineral vein dispute make a decision after comprehensive consideration."
After explaining the news and current situation of the mine to the three people, Fairy Wumeng settled everyone down.
Even the disciples waiting outside were arranged to stay in private rooms in preparation for the upcoming competition.
After settling down, Meng Wan did not rest, but left the room alone.
In just a short while, the news of the arrival of the Xuanyin Sect's demonic cultivators had spread throughout the mining area, causing quite a stir.
In the makeshift market town, many monks were discussing this matter.
"Have you heard? This time, the Xuanyin Sect actually sent three saints to participate in the battle for the mineral vein!"
"Another demonic cultivator from the Xuanyin Sect? They're just a bunch of ignorant butchers. Are they worthy enough to fight for the Meteorite Iron?"
"That's right! I heard that as soon as they arrived, they confronted the people from the Jinyun Sect and the Shenyi Sect, and even started fighting. They are simply too arrogant!"
"This group of demonic cultivators, relying on their numbers, dare to bully others at will. They are so arrogant!"
