After everyone arrived, the Jindan monks came to the Guardian Mansion in Jinyan Town to discuss the specific layout of attacking the Jiuyou Xuanjing mine.
As soon as Gu Chengfeng entered the meeting hall with the two of them, he smiled and said: "At first, I wanted to force the prince to join the Zhao family, but he failed. Now, after all, we are still in the same palace as ministers.
The strength of the prince is also far beyond ordinary people. Although my strength is not at the first-rate level among the late-stage Jindan monks, it is still above average. I didn't expect that I can't beat the prince in the middle stage of the golden elixir.
I’m afraid it won’t be long before the prince’s strength exceeds that of my own. What a formidable young man!”
At this time, Zhao Jingguo came in with four members of the Zhao family, and several people bowed their hands to Wang Daoyuan in greeting.
The title of the sixth prince is just that of a marquis, so naturally he is not as good as the prince of a county far away from Wang Daoyuan.
Zhao Jingguo's title is An Guogong, but as Zong Zhengqing, he has the power to govern the Zhao family, and the princes of the Zhao family must bow to him when they see him.
But Wang Daoyuan's surname was not Zhao, and Zong Zhengqing's position had no control over him.
When Zhao Jingguo saw him, he could only salute. Of course, Wang Daoyuan didn't care too much and returned the salute respectfully.
After everyone sat down, Zhao Jingguo said with a smile: "As the saying goes, a snake can't survive without a head. This attack on the Jiuyou Xuanjing Mine is the plan of the prince.
Your Majesty means that the county king has full authority to command, and I will just cooperate honestly.
I don’t know, what do you think, fellow Taoists?”
When Emperor Zhao spoke, others naturally did not dare to say anything.
Wang Daoyuan didn't dare to respond directly. Most of the monks present were from the same era as his ancestors, and his own cultivation level was still the lowest.
Even if they don't say it, they still feel unhappy in their hearts.
During the war, I was most afraid of conflicts within my own family.
No one else said anything, but the sixth prince was staring at him with hatred on his face.
Wang Daoyuan quickly declined: "I am a junior, and I have just abandoned the dark side and turned to the bright side. I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince the public. I'd better ask Zong Zhengqing to take command."
Zong Zhengqing said solemnly: "The prince of the county offered your majesty a strategy to defeat the thieves and cut off the source of Yin Qi in the Mingshui River. In terms of merit, it is greater than any of us.
Even this strategy to attack the Jiuyou Xuanjing veins was proposed by the county prince, who dares to disapprove?"
No one else dared to object, Wang Daoyuan smiled and said: "Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty, I am willing to manage this matter.
It’s just that I have never commanded this kind of battle, and I asked Zong Zhengqing to be my deputy, so I have a lot to ask for.”
This is also to use tiger skin as a banner. He cannot command the Zhao family, and the monks in Linhai Prefecture have no friendship with him.
If he doesn't find a highly respected deputy, he really can't hold on.
Zhao Jingguo didn't have any objections, so it was decided like this.
As Jinyan City is the gathering point for logistics supplies for this war, it must also be guarded by someone.
Wang Daoyuan's purpose in attacking the Jiuyou Xuanjing Mine was to wait for an opportunity to kill the golden elixirs of the three major sects and take away the last bit of courage of the Netherworld Sect.
This kind of battle requires monks with strong fighting skills.
The two Jindans in Linhai Prefecture, except Gu Chengfeng, were not very strong. They were scared out of their wits in the battle in Sanhefang City.
It would be of little use to let them go to the front line. It happened that one person was guarding Jinyan City and the other was riding a Tier 4 flying warship to protect the supply line.
Even if the monks from the three sects attack the rear, the Golden Core monks can always delay the attack for a long time, so that everyone on the front line can return to support.
After setting up the rear, Wang Daoyuan, Gu Chengfeng, plus four Jindan from the Zhao family, led a group of monks below Jindan and headed towards the Jiuyou Xuanjing Mine.
More than two thousand miles east of the Jiuyou Xuanjing Mine, there is a high mountain with a radius of more than two hundred miles, named Guiyuan Mountain. There is a third-level high-grade non-attribute spiritual vein on the mountain.
This is exactly where the mountain gate of Guiyuan Sword Sect was located before the three sects rebelled.
After the three sects destroyed the Guiyuan Sword Sect, the Nether Sect also stationed many monks here to protect the Jiuyou Xuanjing mineral vein.
The Zhao family's manpower began to gather at Jinyan City half a month ago.
It is already obvious to take action against the Jiuyou Xuanjing Mine.
Once the army arrived, no matter how many people were put in Guiyuan Mountain, they would not be able to hold it.
It's better to shrink our troops and guard the Jiuyou Xuanjing Mine honestly.
Therefore, there is no defensive force on Guiyuan Mountain.
Wang Daoyuan and others directly stationed themselves at Guiyuan Mountain, and other matters such as setting up formations were left to the Zifu monks.
According to the intelligence from Zhou Luan, the Netherworld Sect sent three Jindan monks to garrison, namely Zhong Zhenyang, Luo Jiuyou, and Luo Jiuyu, one of the two supreme elders of the Luo family.
This Luo Jiuyu must be over 800 years old. He is extremely low-key and usually practices in the Netherworld Sect's mountain gate.
Nothing major happened, almost no appearances.
Previously, at Wuchengguan, they only sent out a fourth-level high-grade corpse refiner. He didn't take action. Wang Daoyuan was not sure how capable this person was.
However, in the hands of the Zhao family, the strength of the Netherworld Sect monks must be compromised.
Unless he has some magical powers, it is unlikely that he will be stronger than Zhao Lingjiang.
When the cultivation levels are the same, it depends on whose skills and spells are better.
The inheritance of the Zhao family comes from ancient monks. For thousands of years, the number of Jindan monks in the Zhao family has remained at around thirty.
With so many people making improvements and sufficient resources to support it, the level of inheritance is naturally extremely high.
Since we want to destroy the last bit of courage of the Netherworld Sect, we naturally can't just wait.
While the reinforcements from Cangyang Palace and Wanling Sect have not arrived yet, seize the opportunity to show off your power first.
Zhao Lingyan stayed behind to guard Guiyuan Mountain, while Wang Daoyuan and other five Jindan monks took six third-level flying warships to the Jiuyou Xuanjing Mine.
Where this mineral vein is located, there are no mountains.
There are only a few hills over a hundred feet high and a third-level mid-level underground spiritual vein.
The vein is more than 6,000 feet deep underground and extends for more than a hundred miles from north to south.
The veins are so deep underground that except for Wang Daoyuan's Guichen Flame, it would be difficult for even a half-step Nascent Soul to interfere with the veins.
The Netherworld Sect also deployed a third-level mid-level defensive formation along the spiritual veins.
At the entrance of the mine, a fourth-level defensive formation was set up using array disks.
Five Jindan monks came to the entrance of the mine. Zhao Lingjiang sacrificed his natal magic weapon, the long sword, and used the Gui Water Thunder Sword to slash at the third-level mid-level defensive formation.
His sword was enough to kill an average late-stage Jindan cultivator, and the small third-level defensive formation was not worth mentioning at all.
With one strike of the sword, the defensive light shield shattered.
Wang Daoyuan and other five people blocked the entrance to the mine, and the six accompanying flying warships quickly passed by and attacked the formation eyes of the third-level defense formation.
As long as all the formation eyes are destroyed, the Nether Sect can no longer repair the formation.
If you want to re-arrange the formation, even if multiple formation masters cooperate, it will take ten days and a half.
Subsequently, Wang Daoyuan and others began to cast spells to attack the fourth-level high-grade defensive formation at the entrance of the mine.
Wang Daoyuan used the Sword Shadow Divine Light Technique, and ten sword shadows continuously attacked the formation.
When the spiritual power is exhausted, it will fly back to replenish the spiritual power.
If this defensive formation was permanent and placed on the fourth-level spiritual veins, it would be impossible to break through it with such force.
But this formation is set up with a formation disk. If we continue to fight like this, it will not exceed three days at most, and the formation disk will be broken.
Soon, a roar came from the mine: "The rats of the Zhao family bully others too much. Wang Daoyuan, you are a wolf-hearted thing. Our Netherworld Sect has never treated you badly. Why did you turn to the Zhao family?"
This voice is naturally Luo Jiuyou's, others are not so thick-skinned.
They have bullied the Wang family for hundreds of years, and they still have the nerve to say that they have never treated them badly.
Wang Daoyuan used the Five Elements Demon Subduing Seal, which directly hit the defensive formation.
The formation mask shook for a while, but it was not damaged.
He mocked: "Forcing me to hand over the opportunity, a five-element demon-subduing seal sacrificial refining method was divided into two times and was given to me. There is a hidden trick that can kill me.
If Master Lei Yan hadn't noticed something was wrong, I'm afraid I would have been plotted to death by you.
When I reached the late stage of my cultivation in Zifu, you transferred all the monks from my Wang family and Zifu to a place that was unsuitable for cultivation and dangerous.
Our Wang family only wants to develop our family well and has never had the ambition to overthrow the Netherworld Sect, but you must force each other hard.
Now that things have happened, you still have the nerve to say that you have never treated me badly.
Luo Jiuyou, you despicable villain, do you dare to fight with me?"
