Three days later, Zhou Luan received news from the intelligence personnel one after another. Wang Daoyuan also received many messages from Luo Jiuyou and Gu Wangzong asking for help.
However, the messages from both sides were not the same.
Zhou Luan's intelligence showed that the Mysterious Nine Nether Crystal Mine was already in a precarious situation.
The three Golden Core cultivators of the Zhao Family who met Wang Daoyuan before all attacked the defensive formation.
There was only a middle-grade third-level spirit vein near the mine, which couldn't support a fourth-level formation at all.
The fourth-level formation of the Netherworld Sect could only be set up with formation disks and activated by high-grade spirit stones.
This kind of formation couldn't last for too long in the face of a Golden Core cultivator.
Either the high-grade spirit stones were exhausted, or there was a problem with the formation disks.
After all, the formation disks arranged a large number of formation patterns on a small piece of material. Once the formation was attacked, the formation disks would bear too much power and be easily damaged.
At present, the Netherworld Sect still hadn't sent any Golden Core cultivators to help.
The Netherworld Sect currently had three Golden Core cultivators left behind. In addition to Luo Jiuyou and Gu Wangzong, there was also Zhong Yaoting, Zhong Zhenyang's grandnephew.
He ate the corpse core that Zhong Zhenyang exchanged for with the essence of his divine ability, so he didn't disappoint and finally succeeded in forming his core.
However, the three Golden Core cultivators of the Zhao Family who attacked the mine were all in the late-stage of the Golden Core Realm.
Luo Jiuyou and the other two together could only defeat Zhao Lingyan.
The other two could use the Gui Water Divine Thunder, so the three of them together might not be able to defeat one of them.
The news from the Netherworld Sect was that the battle situation was very good.
The defensive formation of the Mysterious Nine Nether Crystal Mine was indestructible. The Zhao Family cultivators used human lives to fill the formation and suffered heavy losses.
Luo Jiuyou even concealed the fact that there were Golden Core cultivators, saying that no Golden Core cultivators participated in the battle.
This guy was taking advantage of the Wang Family's lack of intelligence. In the past, the intelligence wasn't very good, and the Dark Hall couldn't even keep an eye on Yannan County.
But now it was different. Bringing Zhou Luan back to the Jade Spring Peak was equivalent to getting the Blood Shadow's intelligence network.
He didn't even need to leave the bed, and the information was in his control.
Now even Gu Wangzong came to urge him to gather people as soon as possible. Wang Daoyuan cursed, "I don't want to gather people? Most importantly, how many times a day would they be able to endure it?
Even if she was pregnant now, it would take ten months for the first person to arrive.
I'm not in a hurry. Why is the Netherworld Sect in a hurry for me? "
Zhou Luan said coldly, "You can't stand it and you still want to flirt with other women? If you can stand it, are you planning to marry eight or ten women?"
Wang Daoyuan quickly explained, "No, I wouldn't dare."
A day later, Zhou Luan received news that the Nine Nether Mysterious Crystal Mine's defensive array formation had been breached.
Countless low-level disciples of the Netherworld School were killed or injured. The remaining Zifu Disciples and a few Foundation Establishment Disciples retreated into the mines.
With the help of the formation, the Jindan cultivators of the Zhao family entered the mine to clean up the remaining enemies.
The news that Luo Jiuyou, that shameless guy, sent over was that the Zhao Family had retreated in defeat and asked Wang Daoyuan to send people to intercept and kill them from the front.
He had killed countless enemies and entered the mine.
Wang Daoyuan's message was the same as before. He was trying his best to gather people.
Half a day later, the battle situation suddenly changed.
Zhou Luan's subordinates mixed in with the Zhao Family's team sent news that there was a huge commotion in the mine that far exceeded the Zifu Disciples' battle.
Not long after, another piece of news came.
It seemed that a Jindan cultivator had self-detonated his Jindan. The entire mine was shaking violently, and a huge crack appeared on a section of the mountain.
Then, Zhao Lingyan escaped from the mine alone, and he was seriously injured.
The other two Jindan cultivators of the Zhao family never came out.
Two of the three Jindan cultivators were missing, and the last one fled.
The battle situation changed in an instant. The Zifu Disciples of the Zhao family all fled, and the Netherworld School didn't send people to chase after them.
Zhou Luan asked, "The outcome has been decided. Aren't you going to take advantage of it?"
Wang Daoyuan laughed. "What advantage can I take? Zhao Lingyan isn't a loyal supporter of the long-legged prince.
In the future, when the Ninth Prince rises, he can still be a pawn.
The outcome has been decided. We can also have a good night's sleep. Why meddle in other people's business?
I'm so tired these days. I need to have a good rest. "
Wang Daoyuan hugged his wife and slept, but the Zhao family couldn't sleep.
Zhao Lingyan and the other two Jindan cultivators of the Zhao family didn't move together in the mine.
After someone self-detonated his Jindan, he didn't know the details.
But he was injured by the aftershock of the explosion, and when he escaped, he was attacked by the refined corpse.
He didn't know how many backup plans were hidden in the mine.
Wan Chuan Market was far away from the Netherworld School's guardian residence, and now it was the long-legged prince's temporary residence.
At this time, there were five Jindan cultivators in the meeting hall.
A middle-aged cultivator wearing an aqua blue dragon robe and a crown sat on the main seat.
He said, "It seems that the three major sects still have a lot of backup plans. It won't be easy for us to win.
What do you think we should do? "
Gu Chengfeng was also in the meeting hall. He quickly said, "Your Majesty, we don't know how many backup plans the three major sects have.
If we continue to fight, we don't have the confidence to win.
Why don't we bring all the cultivators back to Linhai Prefecture?
In a hundred years, the three major sects will be short of manpower.
At that time, we can make a comeback and succeed in one fell swoop. "
Two other Jindan cultivators nodded in agreement. These people weren't from the Zhao family, but the families of Linhai Prefecture.
They followed the long-legged prince to reap benefits.
Now that they couldn't reap any benefits and might even lose their lives, it was naturally better to leave as soon as possible.
The Zhao family had kidnapped many cultivators of the three major sects' subordinate families. If these people were brought back to Linhai Prefecture, they would get a lot of manpower.
The long-legged prince was naturally unhappy that the Zhao family lost two late-stage Jindan cultivators and one was seriously injured.
After so many years, many Jindan cultivators who were directly loyal to him had passed away. The remaining Jindan cultivators didn't have much lifespan left.
He didn't dare to wait any longer. If this went on, all the Jindan cultivators under him would die, and he would be a mere figurehead.
Even if he succeeded in reviving the country, he would only be a puppet of the thirteen families.
Moreover, he wasn't young anymore.
If he couldn't revive the country before he passed away and died in front of the Ninth Prince, then the Zhao family would have to serve the Ninth Prince.
An old cultivator wearing a blue python robe and a golden crown said, "We can't do that. If we retreat, the low level cultivators will suffer heavy losses on their way back to Linhai Prefecture.
Rather than letting the low level cultivators die in the mouths of the demon beasts, why don't we use them as scapegoats to exhaust the three major sects' strength?
If we can take down the three major sects, it'll be good. If not, we can at least get a feel of the three major sects' strength. "
The long-legged prince said, "Linhai Monarch's words are reasonable."
Gu Chengfeng nodded, "Since we don't have the confidence to win and still want to use these old families to exhaust the three major sects, there's no need for us to attack the various industries.
If there's a Jindan cultivator hiding in one of the important industries, our losses will be great.
If we attack the Three River Market directly and succeed, the cultivators of the three sects at Wucheng Pass will be wiped out.
If we fail, we'll be able to retreat in time. "
Everyone nodded. As long as they could take down the Three River Market, the cultivators of the three sects at Wucheng Pass would be in trouble.
Song Yan was an extremely crazy person and naturally wouldn't let them go so easily.
At that time, the Jindan cultivators of the three sects might be able to escape.
However, the low level cultivators wouldn't be able to leave alive. They were the majority of the three major sects' strength.
If they were all killed and the long-legged prince swept through more than ninety percent of the families, the three major sects would have a shortage of manpower and the state of Zhao wouldn't be able to recover for a hundred years.
Linhai Monarch added, "In that case, we'll have to change the news about Ling Yan.
Say that he was besieged by many Jindan cultivators sent by the three sects. Two of his clansmen detonated their Jindan and killed three cultivators from the Netherworld Sect.
If those family cultivators know the truth, I'm afraid they'll change sides. "
Everyone nodded in agreement.
