Even though there may be a big war coming soon, Liu Yuxin Lake is still peaceful.

After sitting in the cave for a while drinking tea, I packed up some belongings and walked out of the cave.

…

The big sun hangs in the middle of the sky, with streaks of blazing rays shining down.

The square in the southeast corner of Yongtai Fang City was already overcrowded at this time.

Monks from different factions, with their respective factions or families as groups, stood in various corners of the square, whispering to each other and discussing.

There are men and women, and their costumes are also different.

However, the minimum level of cultivation is above the middle stage of Qi refining, and they can use magical weapons to fight against enemies.

At a rough count, there were at least five hundred people.

However, discussions were discussions, and they did not dare to make any noise, because in the center of the square, stood sixteen figures.

In the eyes of the monks in the Qi Refining Stage, the spiritual pressure emitted by every figure is extremely powerful, and these are all "experts" in the Foundation Establishment Stage.

The foundation-building monks headed by Jiang Qiushui, Leng Yuexin, and Meng Wenxing said nothing and just stood still, as if waiting for someone.

Suddenly, a fiery red light rose from a corner of the city and reached the sky above the square in the blink of an eye.

On the Li Xuan Sword, Liu Yu's black robe fluttered, her face was calm, and her dark pupils looked down.

Among the five or six hundred monks in the Qi Refining Stage, there were less than a hundred wearing the robes of the inner and outer sects of the Yuanyang Sect, less than one-sixth of the total.

After years of wars, less than half of the disciples brought from the sect have been killed or injured.

As for the monks affiliated with the sect, there were also one hundred and fifty, and most of them were killed or injured.

Because of the continuous fighting, even the foundation-building monks suffered eight casualties.

Qingzhou monks account for less than half of the team.

However, with its own suppression and the control of the Soul Locking Restriction, the team is currently relatively stable, and there will be no major problems if we follow the steps.

Although there are methods such as "spiritual transformation pills" that can lift the soul-locking ban, the price to pay is high.

After all, this is just an example, so there is no need to worry too much about it.

Taking a panoramic view of the situation in the square, Liu Yu nodded secretly, satisfied with the efficiency of Jiang Qiushui, Leng Yuexin and others.

Then he touched the storage bag on his waist with his left hand and took out a palm-sized red spaceship.

It’s Gui Yuan Zhou!

Injecting mana and throwing it into the air, he then performed several spells with both hands.

After Guiyuanzhou left his hand, it did not fall downwards. Instead, it was suspended in the air and rapidly grew in size. In less than five or six breaths, it became a behemoth of five to sixty feet.

A huge shadow cast down, covering the entire square.

"This special flying escapement weapon should be much more expensive than the best spiritual weapons, right?"

"Only the big sects with the Yuan Ying Ancestor and deep pockets can have the courage to refine it."

"No matter how many times I see it, I am always amazed by it."

Seeing the huge Guiyuan Ark emitting light red aura in the sky, many monks from small and medium-sized families in the square had deep amazement in their eyes.

However, the Yuanyang Sect disciples and some Qingzhou monks had taken the return boat many times and were already used to it. They looked at the former with contempt in their eyes.

Just like city people look down on country people, they can't help but feel a sense of superiority.

"All monks, board the boat quickly."

Regardless of the different thoughts of the monks below, Liu Yu was already standing on the deck of the Guiyuan Zhou, using sound magic to spread the sound to every corner of the square.

Jiang Qiushui, Leng Yuexin, Meng Wenxing, Wei Guangzheng and other sixteen foundation-building monks were standing behind him at this time.

After the words fell, groups of monks quickly rose into the air, starting from the smallest to the largest according to the group number, and there was no chaotic scene at all.

After simple training by Leng Yuexin, Meng Wenxing and others, although these Qi refining monks may not be able to perform complicated coordination, they can still form a simple formation.

Of course, this kind of "military appearance" is a bit far behind Li Buyu's team.

There was not room for too many monks on the deck. Under the command of Jiang Qiushui and Leng Yuexin, all the Qi Refining Stage monks entered the cabin. Only the Foundation Establishment Stage monks could stay on the deck.

In less than a quarter of an hour, five to six hundred monks had boarded the boat.

Liu Yu just watched Jiang Qiushui and others' arrangements indifferently, and basically would not interfere in the specific management, as long as they did it according to their own will.

After all the monks boarded the boat, he hit several spells on the control token. The Guiyuan boat suddenly shook and flew slowly towards a certain direction in the southwest.

As for the monks left behind in the city, they have never been counted in the strength of the team and can still function normally.

…

The Liujin Stone Mine is one hundred and ninety miles away from Yongtaifang City. According to the flight speed during the Qi Refining Period, it will take about two hours, so it is most suitable to use Guiyuan Zhou to travel.

The Zhao family in Jiutai Mountain is a cultivating family with only four foundation-building monks, which is not worth mentioning in front of Liu Yu.

However, compared to many small forces, it is considered to be prestigious.

The Wei family is about the same size as Wei Guangzheng's. Looking at the two hundred miles around Yongtai Fang City, it can be regarded as one of the top forces.

Because Jiutai Mountain is only about twenty miles away from the Liujin Stone Mine, after expelling the original monks from Baiyun Temple, Jiang Qiushui asked Liu Yu for instructions and arranged for the Zhao family to guard the mine on his behalf.

An order was passed down the day before, and all the forces within two hundred miles of Yongtai Fang City followed suit and mobilized monks one after another to rush to Mount Jiutai.

No matter how reluctant you are, you have just surrendered to the Yuanyang Sect, and you must not disobey the orders given at this time.

At this time, Zhao's Jiutai Mountain was already overcrowded.

Four to five hundred Qi Refining Stage monks from different forces were gathered, as well as seven Foundation Establishment Stage monks.

Among the seven foundation-building monks, some are from cultivating families, some are from small sects, and some are casual cultivators with few concerns.

But now if they want to continue to stay within two hundred miles of Yongtaifang City, they can only obey Liu Yu's orders, otherwise they have only two options: leave or perish.

In the eyes of hundreds of monks, a pale red light came from the horizon and quickly became eye-catching and huge.

Only then did the monks on Jiutai Mountain clearly see the true face of Dunguang. It was actually a huge red flying boat.

"Guiyuan Zhou."

"It's fellow Taoist Qingyangzi, please open the formation quickly."

The symbol of Yuanyang Sect on the flying boat is very eye-catching, and each Guiyuan boat is slightly different. A monk recognized the origin of the flying boat and immediately reminded it.

Because the Liujin Stone Mine is only more than 20 miles away from Jiutai Mountain, the mountain protection formation in Jiutai Mountain has been kept open since Zhuo Mengzhen's team occupied the mine, for fear of a sudden attack by the Hehuanmen monks.

With tigers as their neighbors, the Zhao family has had trouble sleeping and eating these past few days.

When he saw Liu Yu standing on the boat, the head of the Zhao family finally breathed a sigh of relief and asked people to open their formations and come forward to greet him in person.

"My Excellency, Zhao Mingcheng, has met fellow Taoist Qingyangzi."

"The Liujin stone vein was lost in the hands of the Zhao family, I hope to forgive you."

"If we have to fight against the Hehuanmen monks later, the Zhao family is willing to be the vanguard, and everything will be at the disposal of fellow Taoist Qingyangzi."

When Guiyuanzhou stopped, the head of the Zhao family, Zhao Mingcheng, immediately came up with a magic weapon to plead guilty, bending down deeply while speaking.

"Fellow Daoist Zhao, there is no need to be polite."

"Zhuo Mengzhen's team is outnumbered and powerful. It is not the Zhao family's fault that the Liujin Stone vein was lost."

"Fellow Daoist Zhao, please relax. Liu will make his own conclusions about what is right and what is wrong. He will not let his fellow sect members feel cold."

Liu Yu helped him up with his own hands and said with a smile.

But after a pause, his face became serious and he continued:

"But the loss of the Liujin Stone vein is absolutely unacceptable to the sect and the team."

"No matter how rampant the other side is, we must take it back!"

With the strength of Zhuo Mengzhen's team, even the entire Zhao family cannot resist it. There is no need to impose severe punishment at this time.

If the punishment is forced, it will only chill the hearts of the monks who have taken refuge.

But if the mine is lost and the Zhao family loses a foundation-building monk, it is impossible to compensate for it. It would be good if there is no punishment.

"Fellow Taoist Qingyang is magnanimous. On behalf of the Zhao family, I would like to express my gratitude to you!"

"But if you have orders, I will go through fire and water without hesitation!"

No matter what he felt in his heart, Zhao Mingcheng looked grateful and shed tears after being helped up, and he meant to atone for his sins in his words.

"Yes, Liu already knows the attitude of the Zhao family."

"Without further delay, we will immediately arrive at the mine to test the strength of Zhuo Mengzhen's team."

"Inform all the monks to board the boat and set off immediately!"

Liu Yu glanced at the monks on Jiutai Mountain, with a slight chill on his face, and ordered.

"As you command!"

Zhao Mingcheng was shocked. After receiving the order, he immediately went down to notify the monks from all forces.
