Lu Yuanshan and Xuu Yi exchanged a few low words and decided to take action.
Upon hearing this, Xuu Yiâs face flashed with a hint of surprise, thinking that the usually easygoing and gentle Sect Leader was now preparing to strike.
However, on second thought, what is there to fear?
He immediately nodded heavily, taking out a Tier Three Lower Grade red flying sword, the Red Blade Sword.
Swish!
Lu Yuanshanâs actions were much more direct as he unfolded the Wind Thunder Wings, transforming into a purple stream of light, and instantly flew in front of Lin Qinghe and the others.
Before Lin Qinghe and the others could react, the Golden Crow Sword abruptly slashed out, heading straight for Lin Qinghe.
Previously, Ling Chaohai, disregarding decency, had attacked Xuu Yi, a Foundation Establishment junior. Now, Lu Yuanshan repaid with the same treatment, suppressing Lin Qinghe.
"Who!"
Noticing Lu Yuanshanâs arrival and seeing the Golden Crow Sword slashing swiftly, Lin Qinghe instinctively exclaimed in surprise, his body naturally dodging to the side.
Just as he was relieved to have dodged the attack, he sensed a strong gust of wind rushing at him.
Upon a closer look, he saw Lu Yuanshan unleashing a Palm Technique, rapidly striking at him.
The power contained within this palm caused Lin Qingheâs expression to change drastically, and before the shout of "Crystallization Stage Great Cultivator" could escape his mouth, the next moment, he was struck on the forehead by a palm.
With a bang.
Lin Qinghe, without even the chance to deploy a technique or summon a magical artifact, was killed by Lu Yuanshanâs palm strike.
"Elder Lin!"
"Who dares to be so audacious!"
"Do you know that we are cultivators of the Heaven-Facing Sect? Such disrespect invites your demise..."
The scene of Lin Qinghe being killed was clearly witnessed by the other five Heaven-Facing Sect cultivators, causing them all to change their expressions and exclaim in shock.
"Itâs you Heaven-Facing Sect people whom we want to kill!"
A loud shout came as Xuu Yi used the Wind Manipulation Technique, moving gracefully like a swift swallow, and with a few leaps, landed beside Lu Yuanshan.
The Red Blade Sword, under his magical power control, went straight to kill a Heaven-Facing Sect cultivator.
With Xuu Yiâs cultivation, it was very easy to slay these five Qi Cultivators.
"Ah!"
A scream echoed as the attacked cultivator couldnât evade, their speed no match for the flying sword, instantly getting killed on the spot.
"Foundation Establishment Cultivator!"
The remaining four, upon realizing Xuu Yiâs cultivation level, changed their expressions dramatically and had no thought of lingering; they just wanted to escape.
This time, Lu Yuanshan had no intention of making another move.
The four Qi Cultivators, relying on Xuu Yiâs techniques and divine abilities, couldnât escape.
Bang!
A cultivator, panicked, hurriedly summoned a flying spiritual artifact, rushing skyward, only to be intercepted by Xuu Yiâs sword the next moment.
The Red Blade Sword pierced through the opponentâs body, spilling blood in the air, and the flying spiritual artifact, losing its owner, fell to the ground with a thud.
Simultaneously as he slew a cultivator, Xuu Yi didnât stop.
He also summoned another artifact, a black flying needle spiritual artifact, about the size of a finger, which burst forth with astounding speed, chasing after another fleeing cultivator.
This cultivator wasnât foolish, knowing it was dangerous to leave his back to the enemy, so while escaping, he still remembered to activate a defensive spiritual artifact to guard his back.
However, even so, the black flying needle pierced right through, breaking the artifactâs defense.
This flying needle spiritual artifact was also something Xuu Yi exchanged from the Resource Hall of the Dubhe Institute, reaching Tier Three Middle Grade.
Its greatest feature is having extremely high attack power, capable of breaking below Tier Two High-Grade artifacts.
This strike killed another cultivator.
"No, no, no!"
The last three surviving cultivators, hearing the screams of their three slain comrades, became increasingly fearful, wanting to plead for their lives.
But it was impractical to do so.
With the opponent having already killed three comrades, and the presence of the ore vein, how could they let them escape to report back?
Xuu Yi chased further, using the black flying needle once more, chasing down another cultivator.
At the same time, the Red Blade Sword also shot out, following behind the black flying needle.
"Ah!"
The result was the same; in an instant, the opponent was like a lamb to the slaughter, unable to resist and killed there, the body falling heavily to the ground.
The remaining two cultivators, merely at mid-stage Qi Cultivation, were far no match for Xuu Yi.
Soon, they too were slain by Xuu Yiâs sword.
"A total of five Heaven-Facing Sect cultivators, all killed here."
"Very well."
Lu Yuanshan slowly spoke, having Xuu Yi first collect the spoils of war, then clean up the bodies.
Nearby, Lu Pingâs gaze fell once more on the Fire Radiance Stone Vein before him, exploring the mineral content and the area.
Itâs worth mentioning that the presence of Lu Pingâs consciousness body could freely pass through rock and soil layers.
Thus, exploring the ore vein was exceedingly simple for him.
As he delved into the rock wall, changes appeared before Lu Ping.
The once black rock and soil layer gradually became clearer.
There were streaks of fiery red mineral substances appearing before Lu Pingâs eyes.
These were all Fire Radiance Stones!
As he ventured further, closely inspecting the rock wall, Lu Ping was able to discern the specific size of the ore vein.
Compared to the Cyan Mountain Sectâs Fire Source Stone Vein, this Fire Radiance Stone Vein had more than double the area.
Moreover, it contained a rich amount of Fire Radiance Stones.
These were unexpected surprises.
As a Tier Four mineral, Fire Radiance Stone can be used in refining Tier Four spiritual artifacts, creating arrays, construction, and other purposes.
Its price is around a hundred Spirit Stones per piece.
According to the Fire Radiance Stone content here, Lu Ping estimated that the total value of this ore vein exceeded ten million Spirit Stones!
Enormous value!
This made Lu Yuanshan and Xuu Yiâs efforts to capture this ore vein worthwhile.
After conveying the investigation results to Lu Yuan, Lu Yuanshan smiled in delight, surprised at the ore quantity in this vein.
Regarding how to mine this ore vein and incorporate it into the Cyan Mountain Sect, the father and son discussed briefly.
"Father, are we sure all the high-ranking members of the Heaven-Facing Sect know about this vein?"
"If so, it wonât be easy for us to swallow this ore vein."
Lu Yuanshan voiced his concern.
Xuu Yi, standing nearby, guessed why the Heaven-Facing Sect chased him, realizing it was due to the presence of this ore vein, aimed at silencing him.
He discussed with Lu Yuanshan, giving his opinion on the ore vein.
The thought process was similar to Lu Yuanshanâs, both worried that the Heaven-Facing Sect had already discovered the veinâs existence and might send people to investigate soon.
If that happens, a confrontation with the Heaven-Facing Sect would be inevitable.
