Chapter 216 Dark Night Raid (two in one chapter)

  Although it has received the "care" of the Yan family, after all, Wangyue City is not the one-word hall of the Yan family, but is jointly managed by three Jindan elders.

   Everyone belongs to the same family, in any case at least on the surface it is fair.

   In this case, there are many cultivators of the Yan family who have to go to the frontline battlefield, not to mention Liu Yu is an outsider.

   So this time Liu Yu was inevitably assigned a somewhat risky mission, to sneak attack on a vein of Hehuanmen on the border of Jingzhou, and demanded that it be destroyed so that it could not be mined normally.

   For such an arrangement, he had already prepared in his heart.

   This kind of task may be very risky for ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators, but for the current Liu Yu, this may not be the case.

   With his current strength, as long as he doesn't encounter characters like the Sixth Son of Acacia, or falls into siege or ambush, the risk is actually very small.

   All the confidence stems from his own strength. If he wants to escape, there are not many who can leave him during the foundation building period if the Jindan cultivator does not take action.

   Under the scanning of the divine consciousness, all the scenery is so clear, the grass, soil, trees and rivers are clearly visible in the divine consciousness, and even the bugs buried deep under the ground are clearly visible.

   In addition to the monks who carried out this mission, no monks of Hehuanmen were found.

   This made Liu Yu a little relieved and withdrew his consciousness, but the string in his heart still did not relax.

   Along with him on this mission were eight other foundation-building cultivators, and seventy disciples in the middle and late stages of Qi refining.

   It is worth noting that among the foundation-building cultivators who performed this mission, there were also two “acquaintances” that Liu Yu was more familiar with.

   They were Zhuang Shilong, who came to Wangyue City with him, and Xie Junjie, who exchanged the alchemy inheritance of the Huang family.

   The two seemed to be familiar with each other, and they were still talking while running. Liu Yu turned to look at him while thinking about it, but Xie Junjie just happened to look over.

   The expressions of the two were as usual, and they nodded to each other without smiling. The cultivator who didn't know thought that the relationship between the two was so good, and then turned his head naturally, but there was no smile on his face.

   "Better not to mess with Liu, otherwise..."

   Liu Yu's eyes narrowed slightly.

   However, it is very difficult for an ordinary mid-foundation cultivator to endanger his life. The most worthy of attention in the team is not these two people, but a tall man wearing a dark blue shirt.

   In the spiritual sense, this person is the person with the strongest spiritual pressure that Liu Yu has ever met except for Elder Jindan.

   This made him feel a lot of pressure, and he asked himself that there was no chance of winning against him, after all, the realm was too far away.

   "Zhou Zhuofeng"

   This person is one of the three heroes of Yuanyang Zong, ranking fourth.

   Not only has his cultivation reached the peak of the late foundation-building stage, but he is also a cultivator of Lei Linggen, whose reputation has spread far and wide and his strength is extremely powerful.

   He was the most powerful group of monks during the foundation building period. His status in the Yuanyang Sect was higher than that of the head Zhuang Ziling, and he was an outstanding representative of the foundation building monks of the sect.

   "Even a cultivator like Zhou Zhuofeng was sent out. It seems that the sect attaches great importance to this mission."

  Thoughts flashed in Liu Yu's eyes. Although there were only nine Foundation Establishment cultivators in this mission, their strength was very strong.

   Including Zhou Zhuofeng, there were three cultivators in the later stage of foundation establishment, four cultivators in the middle stage of foundation establishment, and only himself and one other cultivator in the early stage of foundation establishment.

   The average level of cultivation is relatively high in the Foundation Establishment period, and all the sect monks with strong roots and red roots have excellent magic tools, and there is no problem in easily defeating a team of Foundation Establishment monks.

  Although the ordinary foundation building team is also composed of nine people, most of them are in the early and middle stage of foundation building, and not all of them are sect monks. The actual combat strength is uneven, far from being comparable to it.

   In order to prevent early detection, the seventy-nine monks landed 50 miles away from the target, and then kept on walking, with very little conversation.

   Just as Liu Yu was vigilant and thoughtful, the trees and grass gradually became sparser, and the green in the distance began to diminish, followed by a yellow wasteland dotted with sporadic emerald green.

   As far as you can see, there are two ordinary hills more than a hundred feet high, and there is a fairly wide valley between the two hills.

During the second half of the   you hour, only the sun remained. With the vision of the cultivator, he could clearly see a miner lining up to hand in today's harvest, and then returned to the shack to receive food.

   "Amethyst Mine."

   Approaching the mission target, Zhou Zhuofeng paused and waved to signal everyone to stop.

   "With the help of terrain concealment, it can be prevented from being discovered by the monks of the Acacia Gate."

   "When the enemy Xiu relaxes his vigilance, he will launch a surprise attack, so that he can succeed once."

   "If anyone is accidentally discovered by the monks of the Acacia sect, they will be dealt with strictly according to the sect rules and will not be spared lightly!"

   Zhou Zhuofeng stared at the valley for a while, then turned around and commanded lightly.

   As the Three Heroes and Four Heroes, he is highly valued by the senior leaders of the sect, and his own strength is the strongest in the field. There is no doubt that he is the only team leader.

   At this time, an order is given, and naturally there is nothing to do.

   "Yes, Brother Zhou (Uncle Zhou)."

   Regardless of whether the monks in the foundation-building stage or the disciples in the qi-refining stage, they all took orders, and then they each found a place to hide.

  Liu Yu also jumped on a tree with lush branches, picked a thick branch and sat up.

   A wisp of consciousness enters the storage bag, and checks your magical tools, spiritual tools, charms, talismans, etc., and make sure they are all in a familiar location, and you can quickly take them out with a thought.

   The main purpose of Zongmen's mission this time is to destroy the mine as much as possible, to kill the monks and miners of the mine as much as possible, so that they cannot operate normally, and they cannot be mined normally for at least ten years, causing losses to Hehuanmen.

  The amethyst raw stone mined from the amethyst mine can be refined through complex refining to obtain a refining material called "Flowering Fire Amethyst".

The price of Liu Ying Amethyst is not low and the sales volume is very good. It is a good auxiliary material for refining top-grade and high-grade instruments. As long as a small amount is mixed in the refining, other materials can be blended more smoothly. At the same time, spiritual power runs in it. It will also be much smoother.

  This mine is not small. The amount of raw amethyst ore mined is very considerable. It is refined into flowing firefly amethyst and then sold into spirit stone, which can bring a lot of income to Hehuanmen every year.

The importance of    is similar to that of Yuanyangzong's Bingliu Spirit Medicine Garden. If it can be paralyzed, it will definitely be a big blow.

   It’s just different from Bingliu Medicine Garden. It’s only 180 miles away from Jingzhou’s gateway, “Tianqiong City.” With the speed of monks in the middle stage of foundation building, they can arrive in less than half an hour.

  Sky Dome City and Wangyue City are located at the very edge of Qingjing Continent respectively. One north and one south face each other, and they are about the same size. Elder Jindan of Hehuanmen is also commanding in the city.

   Therefore, we must fight quickly, otherwise we will definitely fall into a disadvantageous situation. The elders will send Zhou Zhuofeng, probably out of this consideration.

   Liu Yu thought silently, and was ready to run away immediately when the situation turned bad.

   But everything has pros and cons. It is precisely because the Amethyst Mine is too close to Sky Vault City, and because the frontal battlefield and resource points all require manpower, the number of Hehuanmen monks here is not large.

According to the information sent by Anzi who was placed in the Hehuan Gate, even when the situation was at its most tense, there were only nine base-building cultivators and seventy or eighty qi-refining cultivators stationed there, and now there will be fewer and no more .

   Of course, less is less, and it is best to be able to defeat the enemy and get a first-mover advantage by surprise, and the amethyst mine is not light, so there will be no shortage of all kinds of bright and dark posts.

   It is easy to be spotted during the day, but at night you can touch it closer, which is more beneficial to your side.

   As time went by, although the big sun was very unwilling, it still had to sink into the horizon, and the last ray of afterglow disappeared completely.

   Tonight, the starry sky is extraordinarily gloomy, the moon is nowhere to be seen, and the sky is darker than ever.

   "The moon is dark and the wind is high to kill the night."

  The darkness of the field of vision is beneficial to the party. The seventy-nine monks on the mission waited quietly. At this time, they had no intention to talk, and most of them took out the instruments and wiped them silently.

   They all know that a fierce battle is inevitable tonight!

   "The mission begins, and the battle is quick."

When the time came, Zhou Zhuofeng's words reached the ears of every monk in the woods, and then there was a rustling sound.

"Yes!"

  The deacons in the foundation-building period and the disciples in the Qi-refining period all took their orders, then walked out of the woods and set foot on the wasteland, heading towards the valley between the two mountains, aiming directly at the amethyst mine.

   The foundation-building cultivator opened the way ten miles ahead, the Qi-refining cultivator moved steadily forward ten miles behind, and seventy or eighty figures quietly approached the direction of the amethyst mine.

   "Ugh"

   There was a small scream from time to time in the wilderness, but it didn't have time to spread further and disappeared immediately.

   These are the secret posts outside the mines, but unfortunately they are all only in the Qi refining period, and because the mines are too close to Sky Vault City, they have never been attacked in recent decades, so they relaxed their vigilance.

   Although these Hehuan Sect cultivators were well hidden, they had nowhere to hide under the earnest search of the Foundation Establishment cultivators. Some cultivators didn’t even know how they died, so it was too late to send a message.

   While pulling out the dark whistle, he moved forward steadily. The Yuanyang Sect cultivator slowly approached while taking advantage of the darkness. From the initial fifty miles, he slowly approached the range of twenty miles.

   At this time, everyone was on one of the hills, overlooking the amethyst mine in the valley.

   There were only scattered lights in the mine, which could not dispel the thick darkness at all, and still maintained the original silence, which meant that Yuanyangzong and his party had not been discovered.

   nodded to each other, the Yuanyang Sect's foundation-building cultivators did not hesitate, and slowly advanced towards the mine according to the previous rhythm.

  Twenty miles, sixteen miles, thirteen miles, ten miles!

   Approaching the 15-mile range of the mine meant that he had completely entered the field of vision of the monks of the Hehuan Sect. As long as the enemy cultivators had set up a sentry on another mountain, they could easily detect the Yuanyangzong group.

  Although there are nine base-building cultivators to clear the dark posts, they can do nothing to the post on another hill.

   "Enemy attack!"

   From fifteen miles to ten miles away, although the monks of the Hehuan Sect were slack because of the long-term comfort, they finally found many monks in the Yuanyang Sect.

   After all, seventy or eighty people are too conspicuous, and the simple invisibility technique has nothing to hide under the sky eye technique.

"what!"

   With a long whistle, the sentry on another hill finally found this group of "bad intentions" monks and issued a warning to the mine in time.

  The silent night sky was broken by this long howl, and then seven or eight white lights flew towards the mine.

   "Not good, sound transmission."

   Zhou Zhuofeng, Liu Yu and other foundation-building cultivators reacted quickly and knew that they had been discovered.

   "You bring fifteen disciples to clear the sentries outside, and none of the disciples outside the Hehuan Gate will be left behind, and they will meet again when things are done."

Now that    has been discovered, Zhou Zhuofeng quickly adjusted his strategy.

   Continuing to hide, but to deceive himself, he simply ordered fifteen disciples to kill the sentry post, while the rest of the monks approached the mine at full speed, no longer secretly suppressing the speed.

   Needless to say, when he instructed the disciples in the Qi refining period, Liu Yu, Xie Junjie, Zhuang Shilong and other eight foundation-building cultivators had already taken out their magical instruments and turned into various colors of light to advance at full speed.

  Ten li is too short for the Foundation Establishment cultivator who controls the magical implement, and only a quarter of the time has passed in half a quarter of an hour.

  Unfortunately, the advance warning of the Acacia Gate sentry finally worked. Before Liu Yu and others approached, the light red mask covering most of the mine had gradually brightened.

  The color changes from light red to pink and gradually to deep red.

   Liu Yu's brows were slightly wrinkled, and he didn't even have to think about it to know that someone was operating the formation with all his strength, making the formation in a low-power state run at full power, and the power began to recover.

   Although the eight Yuanyang sect foundation-building cultivators had various thoughts in their hearts, the movements in their hands were not slow at all. Before the light of escape had fallen, they had already taken out their superb instruments and rushed towards the formation without hesitation.

   From the sentinel warning to the approaching attack, it didn't take long. It could be seen that not all the monks of the Acacia Gate had arrived yet, and only three instruments went out to block them.

  The foundation-building cultivators of the Yuanyang Sect had a relatively high cultivation level, and the strength of the cultivators who performed this mission was above the standard. Only two of the eight instruments were blocked.

   The remaining six top-quality instruments swept away the magic instruments and spell blocks of many monks in the Qi refining period, and bombarded them on the pink mask.

   "bang bang bang"

   A series of six loud noises completely broke the silence of the night and spread in the wilderness.

The power of the    formation has not yet fully recovered. The red mask trembled after this continuous bombardment. Six "pits" appeared on the surface, and the area of ​​the pits was dim and nearly transparent.

In the formation, a charming girl in pink gauze with a charming face was operating the formation, and her face turned pale when she saw this scene, but she was a foundation-building cultivator who had experienced many fighting methods, and knew that it was life and death at this time. At the critical moment, the Yuanyang Sect cultivator must not be allowed to break through the formation.

  Otherwise, life and death are all in the hands of people. With the relationship between the two major sects, I am afraid there is no possibility of survival.

  The enchanting female cultivator did not hesitate, sprayed a mouthful of blood on the formation plate, and played dozens of magic tricks in a row in her hand, in order to restore the formation.

   This place is not far from Sky City. She believes that as long as she persists with the formation, she will be able to wait for reinforcements, and she will be able to solve the current predicament.

   Outside of the formation, Liu Yu and the others saw that the effect of the blow was remarkable, and they did not hesitate to control the magic weapon to retreat a little to accumulate strength.

   At the same time, they dropped Dunguang to intensify their efforts, and each of them drove two top-quality instruments to bombard the formation at the same time, not giving the monks a chance to breathe.

  The strength of your side is definitely better than that of the monks of the Acacia Sect. As long as you remove the barrier of the formation, it will be easy to complete the task.
