After everyone arrived, the Golden Core cultivators came to the Golden Goose City Guard Mansion to discuss the specific arrangements for attacking the Mysterious Crystal Vein.
As soon as Gu Chengfeng entered the meeting hall with two Linhai State Golden Core cultivators, he said with a smile, "At first, I wanted to force the County King to join the Zhao Family, but I couldn't.
The County King's strength is also far beyond ordinary people. Although this old man's strength is not first-class among the Golden Core late stage cultivators, it is above average. I didn't expect that I couldn't take down the County King, a Golden Core middle stage cultivator.
I'm afraid it won't be long before the County King's strength surpasses this old man. The younger generation is really formidable! "
At this time, Zhao Jingguo came in with four people from the Zhao Family. They cupped their hands to Wang Daoyuan.
The Sixth Prince's title was only a Marquis, so naturally, it couldn't be compared to Wang Daoyuan's County King.
Zhao Jingguo's title was Duke An, but as Zong Zhengqing, he had the power to govern the Zhao Family. The Zhao Family's Marquis had to salute him.
However, Wang Daoyuan's surname wasn't Zhao, so Zong Zhengqing couldn't control him.
Zhao Jingguo could only salute him. Of course, Wang Daoyuan didn't put on airs and also saluted back respectfully.
After everyone sat down, Zhao Jingguo said with a smile, "As the saying goes, a snake can't do without a head. This attack on the Mysterious Crystal Vein is the County King's plan.
His Majesty wants the County King to have full command, and we just need to cooperate.
What do you think, Daoyou? "
Since Emperor Zhao spoke, the others naturally didn't dare to say anything.
Wang Daoyuan didn't dare to directly answer. Most of the cultivators present were from the same era as his ancestor, and his cultivation was still the lowest.
Even if they didn't say it, they were still unhappy.
When fighting, the most afraid of conflicts between family members.
Not to mention others, the Sixth Prince was staring at him with a face full of hatred.
Wang Daoyuan hurriedly declined, "I'm a junior, and I've just turned over to the light. I'm afraid it's difficult to convince the public. Let's ask Zong Zhengqing to command."
Minister Zong said solemnly, "The county king has presented a plan to pacify the bandits for His Majesty and cut off the source of the yin qi in Mingshui River. In terms of merit, he is greater than us.
Even the plan to attack the Mysterious Crystal Vein of the Ninth Underworld was proposed by the Second-rank Prince. Who would dare to disagree? "
No one 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 such a large battle before, so I would like to invite Minister Zong to be my assistant. I have a lot to learn from you. "
He couldn't command the Zhao Family, and the cultivators of Linhai Prefecture didn't have much of a relationship with him.
If he didn't find a well-respected deputy, he really wouldn't be able to hold on.
Zhao Jingguo did not have any objections, so it was decided.
Jin Yan City, as the logistical material gathering point of this battle, also needed to be guarded by someone.
The purpose of Wang Daoyuan attacking the Netherworld Crystal Mine was to wait for an opportunity to kill the Gold Core Cultivators of the three major sects and destroy the last bit of courage of the Netherworld Sect.
This kind of battle required powerful cultivators to take part in it.
Other than Gu Chengfeng, the other two Gold Core Cultivators of Linhai Prefecture were not very powerful. They were scared out of their wits in the battle of the Three River Market.
It was not very useful to let them go to the front line, so one person could guard Jin Yan City and the other one could protect the supply line in the Rank Four Flying Warship.
Even if the cultivators of the three sects attacked the rear, with the Gold Core Cultivators, they could delay a lot of time for the people at the front line to come back.
After settling the rear, Wang Daoyuan, Gu Chengfeng and the four Gold Core Cultivators of the Zhao Family led a group of cultivators below the Gold Core Level to the Mysterious Crystal Mine.
More than two thousand miles to the east of the Mysterious Crystal Mine, there was a mountain with a radius of more than two hundred miles called Guiyuan Mountain. There was a Rank Three Upper Spirit Vein on the mountain.
This was the location of the Guiyuan Sword Sect before the rebellion of the three sects.
After the three sects destroyed the Guiyuan Sword Sect, the Netherworld Sect also stationed a lot of cultivators here to protect the Mysterious Crystal Mine.
The people of the Zhao Family started to gather at Jin Yan City half a month ago.
It was obvious that they were going to attack the Mysterious Crystal Mine.
Once the army arrived, the Guiyuan Mountain would not be able to withstand it no matter how many people there were.
It was better to withdraw their forces and honestly guard the Mysterious Crystal Mine.
Therefore, there was no defensive force at Guiyuan Mountain.
Wang Daoyuan and the others were directly stationed at Guiyuan Mountain. The Zifu Realm cultivators were in charge of setting up formations and other things.
According to the information from Zhou Luan, the Netherworld Sect had sent three Gold Core Cultivators to guard the mine. They were Zhong Zhenyang, Luo Jiuyou, and one of the two Grand Elders of the Luo Family, Luo Jiuyu.
This Luo Jiuyu was more than eight hundred years old. He was extremely low-key and usually cultivated in the Netherworld Sect's mountain gate.
If there were no major events, he almost never showed his face.
Previously, at Wucheng Pass, he only sent a Rank Four Upper Refined Corpse and did not make a move himself. Wang Daoyuan was not sure how powerful this person was.
However, the strength of the Netherworld Sect cultivators would be reduced in the hands of the Zhao Family.
Unless he had a minor Divine Ability, it was unlikely that he would be stronger than Zhao Lingjiang.
In the case of equal cultivation, it would depend on whose cultivation method and Dharma spells were superior.
The Zhao Family's inheritance came from the ancient cultivators. For ten thousand years, the Zhao Family had maintained around thirty Gold Core Cultivators.
With so many people improving and sufficient resources to support, the level of the inheritance was naturally very high.
Since they wanted to destroy the last bit of courage of the Netherworld Sect, they naturally could not just wait.
Now that the reinforcements of the Cruel Sun Palace and the Thousand Spirit Sect had not arrived, they seized the opportunity to show off their strength first.
Zhao Lingyan stayed behind to guard Guiyuan Mountain. Wang Daoyuan and the other four Gold Core Cultivators took six Rank Three Flying Warships and headed for the Mysterious Crystal Mine.
There were no mountain ranges where the mine was located.
There were only a few small hills more than a thousand feet tall and a Rank Three Middle Underground Spirit Vein.
The mine was more than sixty thousand feet deep and extended more than a hundred miles from north to south.
With the mine being so deep underground, apart from Wang Daoyuan who had the Guiyuan Flame, even a Half-Step Yuanying would not be able to disturb the mine.
The Netherworld Sect had set up a Rank Three Middle Defensive Formation along the spirit vein.
At the entrance of the mine, they used a formation plate to set up a Rank Four Defensive Formation.
The five Gold Core Cultivators came near the entrance of the mine. Zhao Lingjiang took out his Natal Dharma Artifact and used the Gui Water Thunder Sword to slash at the Rank Three Middle Defensive Formation.
His sword was enough to kill an ordinary late-stage Gold Core Cultivator. A mere Rank Three Defensive Formation was not worth mentioning at all.
With one slash, the Defensive Light Shield shattered.
Wang Daoyuan and the other four blocked the entrance of the mine. The six Flying Warships that accompanied them quickly went over to attack the eye of the Rank Three Defensive Formation.
As long as all the eye of the formation was destroyed, the Netherworld Sect would not be able to repair the formation.
To set up the formation again, even with the help of many formation masters, it would take ten days to half a month.
Then, Wang Daoyuan and the others began to use their own spells to attack the Rank Four Upper Defensive Formation at the entrance of the mine.
Wang Daoyuan used the Sword Shadow Divine Light Technique, and ten sword shadows attacked the formation continuously.
When they ran out of spiritual power, they flew back to replenish their spiritual power.
If this Defensive Formation was permanent and set up on a Rank Four Spirit Vein, it would be impossible to break through like this.
However, this formation was set up with a formation disk. If this continued, the disk would definitely shatter within three days.
Soon, an angry roar came from within the mine. "The Zhao Clan's scoundrels have gone too far. Wang Daoyuan, you heartless thing. My Netherworld Sect has never treated you unfairly. Why are you siding with the Zhao Clan?"
This voice naturally belonged to Luo Jiuyou. Others would not be so thick-skinned.
They had bullied the Wang Clan for hundreds of years, and they still had the nerve to say that they had never treated them unfairly.
Wang Daoyuan used the Five Elements Devil Suppression Seal and smashed it directly at the Defensive Formation.
The Defensive Light Shield shook, but it was not damaged.
He mocked, "You forced me to hand over my fortune. You gave me the Five Elements Devil Suppression Seal in two parts, with a sinister move that could take my life.
If not for Master Lei Yan seeing that something was wrong, I would have been killed by your schemes.
When I reached the late Zifu Disciple stage, you sent my Wang Clan's Zifu Disciple to a dangerous place that was unsuitable for cultivation.
My Wang Clan only wanted to develop properly. We never had the ambition to overthrow the Netherworld Sect, but you just had to force our hand.
Even now, you still have the nerve to say that you have never treated me unfairly.
Luo Jiuyou, you despicable person. Do you dare fight with me? "
