Chapter 389: Those with Virtue Occupy It (Happy New Year!!)
"Bang bang."
On the golden shield, ripples resembling water patterns emerged.
In terms of numbers, they held the advantage. Although Zhuo Mengzhen's side had formations for defense and their average cultivation level was not lower than theirs, they ultimately could not intercept all the attacks.
More critically, the foundation establishment combat power had increased by a few individuals.
However, the formation at the mine was of high second-tier quality, specially "customized" after geographical exploration, its attributes aligned with the mine's environment, increasing its effectiveness threefold.
Breaking through would not be so easy.
"Forcibly breaking through would require a considerable amount of time."
"But with our strength, it can ultimately be done."
"If the opponent insists on being stubborn…”
Liu Yu did not take action but only gazed at the situation in the arena, a glint of sharpness flashing in his eyes.
Defeating or even killing cultivators from the Heavenly Harmony Sect would not bring him the desired benefits; if it wasn't necessary, he didn't want to do it.
If things escalated, there was a chance he could be targeted by the Heavenly Harmony Sect, and that would be troublesome.
However, this matter had been instigated by Zhuo Mengzhen, and a strong retaliation was necessary. At most, he should be cautious during the engagement and not take Zhuo Mengzhen's life.
Achieving his goals without attracting the attention of the Heavenly Harmony Sect.
Without Liu Yu's orders, Jiang Qiushui, Cold Moon Heart, and other foundation establishment cultivators followed previous instructions and continuously attacked the golden shield enveloping the mine.
"Boom boom."
After dozens of spells bombarded it, the golden shield trembled slightly, creating ripples on its surface.
Among these dozens of spells, not all were first-tier; several second-tier spells were also included.
Only after three rounds of attacks did the encircling cultivators stop their assault.
"Senior Sister Zhuo, the other side's attitude is unexpectedly tough. Should we continue with the original plan?"
"This old demon Qingyang doesn't seem like someone who would easily compromise."
A female cultivator in a pink dress, at the early stage of foundation establishment, said with a solemn expression.
Looking at the encircling cultivators, her mood darkened, especially upon seeing Liu Yu, which made her heart shudder.
Through channels within the Heavenly Harmony Sect, she was aware that the renowned Golden Core Family, the Hua Family, had been wiped out by Elder Sister Li Buyu along with Liu Yu.
This person was truly reckless and powerful.
If it wasn't absolutely necessary, she did not want to confront such a cultivator directly.
"Now is the time for cooperation among the five sects. The other party's actions are mostly just for show."
"However, since Qingyang has made such a statement, it seems they are determined to take back the Liu Goldstone mine."
"This could get troublesome."
Zhuo Mengzhen, dressed in yellow robes, frowned as she observed the situation outside the formation, feeling it was quite difficult.
Now was the time for the five sects to "stake their claim" in Yan State, and the value of the Liu Goldstone mine was significant. If they could secure it for their sect, rewards would be guaranteed.
As a core disciple of the Heavenly Harmony Sect, she was willing to consider the interests of her sect.
Because of this, she had found an excuse to brazenly take over the mine, originally thinking that the so-called "old demon Qingyang," no matter how fierce the rumors, was merely a cultivator who had recently advanced to the mid foundation establishment stage.
However, she did not expect that the other party's tactics were stronger than anticipated.
This made Zhuo Mengzhen hesitant to act recklessly.
Was the other party acting with self-assuredness about their strength, or did they have some backing?
In any case, the strength of the opposing team was indeed stronger, which was an undeniable fact.
