"Bang bang"

Fluctuations like water ripples appeared on the golden shield.

After all, our side had the advantage in numbers. Although Zhuo Mengzhen's side had formations to resist and their average cultivation level was not lower than our own, they could not intercept all attacks after all.

More importantly, there are a few more people at the foundation-building level.

However, the formation in the mine is as high as the second-level mid-level, and it is "customized" after geographical exploration. The attributes of the formation are consistent with the environment of the mine, and its power is increased by three levels.

It's not that easy to break through.

"It will take a long time to break through forcefully."

"But with our own strength, we can still do it after all."

"If the other party insists on having his own way, then..."

Liu Yu did not take action, but just stared at the situation on the field with a stern look in his eyes.

Defeating or even killing the Hehuanmen monks would not bring him the benefits he wanted. If it was not necessary, he would not want to do it.

If things get serious, he might be targeted by the Hehuanmen, which would be very troublesome.

However, it was Zhuo Mengzhen who provoked him first, and he had to fight back fiercely. At most, he should be careful when doing so, so as not to take Zhuo Mengzhen's life.

Achieve your own goals without attracting the attention of Hehuanmen.

Without Liu Yu's order, Jiang Qiushui, Leng Yuexin and other foundation-building monks followed previous instructions and launched attacks one after another on the golden shield covering the mine.

"Boom boom"

After being bombarded by dozens of spells, the golden shield trembled slightly, with ripples appearing on it.

Among these dozens of spells, not all were first-level spells, but several second-level spells were also flanked.

It was not until the end of three rounds of attacks that the monks surrounding the mine stopped attacking.

"Senior Sister Zhuo, the other party's attitude is unexpectedly tough. Do we still want to follow the original plan?"

"This old demon Qingyang doesn't look like someone who will compromise easily."

A female cultivator wearing a pink dress and in the early stage of foundation building said with a solemn expression.

Looking at the monks surrounding the mine, she couldn't help but feel a little heavy. Especially when she saw Liu Yu, she felt a chill in her heart.

Through Hehuanmen's channels, she knew that the famous Jindan family and the Hua family had been wiped out by Li Buyu and Liu Yu.

This person is really bold and powerful.

She didn't want to confront such a monk unless necessary.

"Now is the time for the five sects to cooperate. The other party's actions are probably just pretentious."

"But since Qingyang has expressed his stance like this, he is probably determined to take back the Liujin stone vein."

"In this case, it will be a bit difficult to handle."

Zhuo Mengzhen, who was wearing yellow clothes, frowned and looked at the situation outside the formation, and felt that it was very difficult.

Now is the time when the five sects are "racing for territory" in the Yan Kingdom. The value of the Liujin Stone vein is not low. If it can be obtained for the sect, the reward will be indispensable.

She is a core disciple of the Hehuan Sect and is willing to consider the interests of the sect.

It was precisely because of this that I found an excuse to seize this mine.

I originally thought that the so-called "Old Demon Qingyang", no matter how powerful he was, was just a monk who had just been promoted to the middle stage of Foundation Establishment.

But I didn't expect that the other party's tactics were tougher than imagined.

This made Zhuo Meng really afraid to act rashly.

Does the other party act like this because they have enough confidence in their own strength, or do they have something to rely on?

No matter what, it is an indisputable fact that the opponent team is stronger now.

If a full-scale conflict does break out, the situation will be extremely unfavorable to their side.

"Senior Sister Zhuo, how about sending someone to negotiate?"

After a while, the female cultivator in pink skirt who spoke earlier asked cautiously and tentatively.

The so-called "negotiation" is nothing more than giving in and ending the incident in a peaceful way.

There is also an implicit intention to hand over the Ryukinite vein to avoid the outbreak of conflict.

However, Zhuo Mengzhen had a lot of authority in the team, so the female cultivator in pink skirt did not dare to say it directly, so she could only try to be tactful to avoid the other party's anger.

Upon hearing this, Zhuo Mengzhen turned around and glanced at the female cultivator in pink skirt. This look was so sharp that the female cultivator in pink skirt did not dare to say another word.

The woman frowned slightly and was silent for a while before slowly speaking:

"Send someone to negotiate."

"Ask the other party why they are attacking us, and see if we can make them retreat."

It was judged that the mine formation could not hold on, and even though he was reluctant to send the mine out again, Zhuo Mengzhen could only make this helpless decision in his heart.

But even if she had the intention to back down, she couldn't just hand over the mine.

Otherwise, not only would she be unable to accept it, but the monks in the team would also find it difficult to accept such a result, which would greatly affect her prestige within the sect and within the team.

"yes."

The two had known each other for a long time and were keenly aware of Zhuo Mengzhen's implication. The female cultivator in pink skirt secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She was really afraid that the other party would fight to the death and not retreat.

After Liu Yu's offensive temporarily stopped, there was soon movement in the mine, and a small gap opened in the golden shield.

A monk who had completed his Qi refining process walked out and expressed his intention to negotiate.

"Junior Ding Haodang has met senior Qingyang!"

"The Liujin Stone Mine was obtained by our side after we defeated the monks from Baiyun Temple. I wonder what the seniors mean by leading people to surround it now?"

"Is there any misunderstanding here?"

"Why use swords and guns? We can sit down and talk and eliminate the misunderstanding."

"We are still in the period of cooperation between the five sects. They are all for the alliance to eradicate rebellion. It would be bad if the harmony is harmed."

Ding Haodang bowed politely, and then said without humility.

Although he is a monk in the Qi Refining Stage, he is obviously not a timid person to be sent by Zhuo Mengzhen's side as an envoy to negotiate.

"What a skill at confusing right and wrong."

"The Liujin Stone mine was originally guarded by my Zhao family. It was you Hehuanmen monks who used tricks to trick my Zhao family members out of the mine and kill them, and finally took over the mine by force."

"When it comes to your mouth, it becomes taken from Baiyun Temple?"

"What a sharp-tongued junior!"

Before Liu Yu could say anything, Zhao Mingcheng turned red with anger and spoke first.

For a small family like theirs, foundation-building monks are the ones who suppress the family's fate, and losing one of them is enough to break their muscles and bones.

Therefore, Ding Haodang's words instantly angered Zhao Mingcheng.

It's possible that the other party was an "envoy" sent by Ding Mengzhen, and he would have killed him long ago to vent his hatred.

"What the seniors said, juniors"

Before Ding Haodang finished speaking, he could say no more.

Because a powerful spiritual pressure suddenly came down, like a huge boulder pressing on him, causing his body to suddenly sink and he almost fell to his knees.

It was extremely difficult to even stand up straight, let alone speak.

The source of this spiritual pressure is none other than Liu Yu. Although he has not yet broken through to the late stage of Foundation Establishment, his spiritual pressure is already stronger than many late-stage Foundation Establishment monks.

Liu Yu looked down at this junior named Ding Haodang.

Of course, he has no interest in wasting words with a monk in the Qi Refining Stage. With this person's cultivation level, he can't make the decision at all.

"Liu has already made up his mind about the real cause of the matter."

"There are only two ways before you now, either hand over the Liujin Stone Mine or start an all-out war."

"You only have half a quarter of an hour to choose."

"When half a quarter of an hour is up, we will use force to take back the mine."

"Okay, you can go back and report to Fellow Daoist Zhuo."

Liu Yu's face was expressionless and her tone was unusually calm.

This was not a discussion, but an announcement, and he had no intention of breaking up with Ding Haodang.

He said he waved his hand as if to shoo away a fly.

As soon as the words fell, Ding Haodang felt that the huge pressure covering his body suddenly disappeared and he suddenly became relaxed.

His chest heaved and he gasped for breath, but an indescribable feeling of humiliation arose in his heart.

"Yes, this junior understands, and will report it to Master Zhuo now."
