Mo Shan’s expression grew tense as he brought Mo Hua to Elder Yu.Pointing to a location on the map, Mo Hua said, “There has been a fight here.”It couldn’t be Monster Hunters, because everyone had agreed: if a fight started, they would set off fireworks to warn each other.Besides that, it was a small chance that the fluctuation was due to Monster Beasts fighting each other.More likely, it was a Qian Family Cultivator who had encountered Monster Beasts and therefore had engaged in battle.Anyway, it was necessary to go and investigate.Elder Yu said directly, “Gather everyone. We’re heading out.”Though the Monster Hunters were scattered, they weren’t far from each other, and information passed quickly. In no time, several hundred Qi Refinement stage Monster Hunters had assembled.Elder Yu briefly explained the situation, then with a wave of his hand, commanded, “Let’s move out!”All the Monster Hunters crouched down, concealed their presence, stopped talking, and moved stealthily t

Given the huge interest in the spiritual mines, when the Taoist Court mediation failed, there was no choice but to follow the common rules. The Qian Family and the Monster Hunters would engage in a fierce battle at the Nameless Peak spiritual mine.Whoever won would get to take control of the spiritual mine.The Qian Family was now on the offensive, whereas the Monster Hunters were on defense.The atmosphere among the Monster Hunters had gradually become more tense.Elder Yu ordered that all Monster Hunters were forbidden from hunting monsters in Big Black Mountain in the near future, and he assembled most of the Monster Hunters who were between the seventh and ninth level of Qi Refinement to guard the mine tunnels at Nameless Peak.On one hand, the Monster Hunters were preparing for the imminent attack from the Qian Family and, on the other hand, they were working to expedite the extraction of the spiritual mine.It would be best to hold onto the spiritual mines, but with the Qian Fa

“How many Spirit Stones can this spiritual mine produce…”Mo Hua looked around the extensive network of mine tunnels, curiously asking.Yu Chengyi said, “This spiritual mine is not very large. If fully exploited, I estimate it could provide for all of Tongxian City’s Monster Hunters for about ten years.”“Is that considered a lot or a little?”Yu Chengyi laughed and said, “It’s not little, everyone could enjoy a carefree life for about ten years.”About ten years…That indeed was not a short time, especially since he was only about ten years old right now.But for Cultivators, ten years really was nothing at all.As time flew by, like a white steed flashing past a crevice, a hundred years was but a flick of a finger to some Cultivators.“How can we make the good times last even longer for everyone…”The frown on Mo Hua’s face gradually deepened.The Spirit Stones from the spiritual mine could ensure Monster Hunters live well for about ten years, but could also elevate the Qian Family

“The Qian Family’s Foundation Establishment doesn’t make a move because they’re afraid of being worn down, then encircled and killed to death?” Mo Hua asked.“Yes, but not entirely.” Elder Yu said, “On one hand, the Qian Family’s Foundation Building Cultivators do indeed fear being worn down. Once I take action to hold him back, he won’t be able to escape and will inevitably be killed.”“Therefore, in such chaotic battles, Foundation Building Cultivators usually balance each other out and don’t act rashly. Once they take action, they either settle the outcome with a decisive strike or have some other important purpose that can sway the battle.”“On the other hand, the Qian Family has more than one Foundation Building Cultivator…” Elder Yu said with a light chuckle.Mo Hua asked in confusion, “Isn’t that an advantage for the Qian Family?”Elder Yu did not answer directly but said:“One monk will have water to drink, two can fetch enough water, but with three monks there will be no wate

The two sides agreed that the cultivators at the Foundation Establishment Stage would not take action.The next day, the Qian Family cultivators began to move, lining up from the foot of Nameless Peak all the way to the mine entrance halfway up the mountain.The number was about twice that of the Monster Hunters.Mo Hua, high up at the entrance of the highest mine, looked down and only saw the mountain densely packed with Qian Family cultivators, likely numbering over a thousand.How can we fight this?Mo Hua looked towards Elder Yu.Elder Yu appeared unconcerned, “They may look numerous, but they are all no more than rice buckets.”And so the battle began between the two sides.At first, it was all probing, with both sides casually trading blows.Although the Monster Hunters were of a lower rank compared to the Qian Family cultivators, they had years of battle experience with Monster Beasts, skilled in Taoist arts, rich in experience, and battle-hardened, with seamless cooperation am
