"What an excellent spirit-stone mine!"
The Zifu Disciples of the Ji clan headquarters, as well as Ning and his father, had all hurried to the spirit-stone mine.
Previously, when the unaffiliated Primal Adept had broken through to become an Earth Immortal, it had caused an enormous disturbance. This place was within the territory of the Ji clan, and so the Ji clan members had naturally hurried over.
"Four thousand kilometers in circumference and three hundred kilometers deep. This is an enormous spirit-stone mine! We've struck it rich! We've struck it rich! "
The faces of the members of the Ji clan were all shining.
"This is indeed an enormous fortune."
The Patriarch of the Ji clan, the Master of the City of Ten Thousand Swords, Ninefire, had a very solemn look on his face. "Although such an enormous spirit-stone mine is within the territory of our Ji clan, according to the laws of the Grand Xia Dynasty, this is the fortune of our Ji clan. However, such an enormous fortune is a disaster, not a blessing! "
"Patriarch, can it be that someone dares to seize it? The laws of the Grand Xia Dynasty are no joke! "
A gray-robed old woman behind Ninefire had a gloomy look on her face. "This belongs to our Ji clan. Anyone who dares to seize it is a violation of the laws of the Grand Xia Dynasty, and will be attacked by the Raindragon Guard. In addition, our Ji clan isn't so easily manipulated by others! "
"Eh? Your Ji clan isn't so easily manipulated? Heh heh, I'd like to give it a try! "
A cold laugh suddenly rang out in the air, and then a ray of black light howled through the air, transforming into an enormous black cloth that floated high above the heads of the Ji clan members.
Atop this enormous black cloth, there were five men and women. All of them had vast auras and murderous auras.
The leader was a black-robed man, whose entire body emanated a sinister, baleful aura.
"Dong Ziqi?"
Seeing this black-robed man, the faces of the members of the Ji clan changed dramatically.
Dong Ziqi was a peak Zifu Disciple. He was an Elder of the Swallow Mountain branch of Snowdragon Mountain.
The power of the Swallow Mountain branch of Snowdragon Mountain vastly surpassed that of the Ji clan's five prefectures.
At the very most, the Ji clan's five prefectures could produce six Zifu Disciples. However, the Swallow Mountain branch of Snowdragon Mountain even had Wanxiang Adepts. It would be extremely easy for them to wipe out the Ji clan.
What's more, they had the headquarters of Snowdragon Mountain behind them. The headquarters of Snowdragon Mountain was a large Sect that had Primal Adepts!
"Ninefire, just now, did one of you say that the Ji clan isn't a pushover?"
Hands clasped behind his back, Dong Ziqi glanced sideways at the members of the Ji clan, his face filled with disdain. He didn't hold the Ji clan in any regard at all; it was as though he was looking down upon a group of ants.
"Bastard!"
This sort of condescending, disdainful disdain caused Ning to feel extremely angry.
However … Ning knew that he had to endure. He had no choice but to endure! Snow Dragon Mountain was too powerful! He wasn't someone the Ji clan could afford to offend.
"Haha! No! No! How could our Ji clan dare to boast like this?! "
Faced with Snow Dragon Mountain's might, Ninefire had no choice but to lower his head and smile. "Brother Ziqi, may I know why you've come this time?"
"What is it?"
Dong Ziqi glanced sideways at Ninefire, then flicked his sleeves. "Your Ji clan really is audacious. You dare to swallow such a large spirit stone mine?! " Can you swallow it? "
He stretched out a finger, pointing towards the Ji clan. "You think you have what it takes? You think your puny little Ji clan would dare to have such delusions? Aren't you afraid … that your clan will be exterminated? "
"Damnable bastard!"
Hearing Dong Ziqi's words and seeing Dong Ziqi's attitude, the members of the Ji clan were all enraged.
However … all they could do was endure!
"Haha, brother Ziqi, you jest."
Ninefire chortled. "This spirit-stone mine is located within the territory of our Ji clan. How could we not swallow it? According to the laws of the Grand Xia, this spirit stone mine belongs to our Ji clan. Who would dare to offend the mighty Raindragon Guards of the Grand Xia? "
"The laws of the Grand Xia? Raindragon Guards? "
Dong Ziqi frowned, a cold light flashing through his eyes. "Ninefire, I don't have the patience to chat with you any longer. I'll tell you clearly. This spirit stone mine is going to be taken by our Snowdragon Mountain. "
"Fellow Daoist Ziqi, isn't your Snowdragon Mountain being a bit too overbearing? This is the territory of our Ji clan. Can it be that your Snowdragon Mountain wishes to defy the laws of the Grand Xia? "
Upon hearing the words' this spirit stone mine is going to be taken by Snowdragon Mountain ', the face of Ninefire, who had been smiling this entire time, turned cold.
The other members of the Ji clan all gripped their weapons as well.
"Haha! Our Snowdragon Mountain abides by the laws. Naturally, we don't dare to defy the laws of the Grand Xia, nor will we defy them. "
Dong Ziqi laughed coldly as he looked at the members of the Ji clan. "However, if something unexpected happens to the Ji clan, such as … a plague, causing the entire clan to perish, our Snowdragon Mountain, in order to maintain the stability of our territory, will naturally take over control of the City of Ten Thousand Swords. Tell me, isn't this the logic? "
"You …"
Hearing these words, the members of the Ji clan all gnashed their teeth in anger.
Lawless! Utterly unbridled!
Snowdragon Mountain was simply insolent to the extreme!
The territory of the Grand Xia Dynasty was simply too vast. Even though every single commandery city had Raindragon Guards stationed there, the Raindragon Guards were only able to maintain order around the commandery cities. They weren't able to manage the conflicts between the various smaller tribes.
Even if Snowdragon Mountain annihilated the Ji clan, as long as they claimed it was a natural disaster, they could easily cover it up. No one would investigate.
"I'll give you two options!"
Dong Ziqi pointed at Ninefire. "The first option. If we annihilate your entire Ji clan, the spirit-stone mine will naturally belong to us. The second option is to hand over the spirit-stone mine, and your entire Ji clan will become a vassal of Snowdragon Mountain. Two options. Choose for yourselves! "
"These are two options? This is completely not giving our Ji clan any way to survive! "
Yichuan pulled out his longsword. "This is the territory of our Ji clan. If you want to seize it, then seize it with your lives! "
"Hahahaha!"
Dong Ziqi let out a wild laugh. "Your territory? No. From today onwards, this is the territory of our Snowdragon Mountain! All of you … just wait for your clan to be annihilated! "
A sinister, cold aura rose up, and in Dong Ziqi's hands, a blood-colored eight trigrams disc appeared. Behind him, the four Snowdragon Mountain cultivators formed a formation, and a baleful aura filled the air.
"Um … excuse me."
Right at this moment, a youth dressed in a black gold robe suddenly and noiselessly appeared. He looked at Dong Ziqi with a smile on his face. "Just now, you said that this is the territory of your Snowdragon Mountain? You … did you ask me? "
"Brother Qi!"
Seeing Qi Heng suddenly appear, Ning was both surprised and worried. "Brother Qi, Snowdragon Mountain is powerful. This is a matter of our Ji clan. Why must you …"
"Eh? You want to meddle in the affairs of Snowdragon Mountain? Someone like you dares to meddle in the affairs of Snowdragon Mountain? "
Seeing Qi Heng appear, and hearing Ning greet him, Dong Ziqi naturally believed that Qi Heng had only come to help out the Ji Clan.
"Someone like you dares to make a ruckus in front of me?"
A cold light flashed through his eyes. Qi Heng let out a snort, then waved his hand and struck out viciously towards Dong Ziqi and the others, who were still on the black cloth.
"Rumble!"
An enormous, hazy yellow palm appeared in midair. This enormous palm vaguely resembled a bear's paw, and it seemed to overturn the earth and collapse the skies.
"Bang!"
Dust flew everywhere, and shattered rocks flew everywhere.
The arrogant Dong Ziqi and the others didn't even have a chance to fight back. They didn't even have a chance to let out a miserable cry before they were smashed into smithereens by this palm.
"Ah …"
"That powerful?"
The members of the Ji clan, seeing such power, were all stunned!
"Brother Qi's power has increased!"
Ning sighed in his heart!
