Hearing Wang Mufeng's answer, Qin Yun couldn't help but be stunned.

Wang Mufeng's face was extremely gloomy, and he said slowly: "Qin Yun, you haven't joined the Sword Sect for a long time, you don't know the importance of the Jade Spring Mine, and you don't understand the consequences of losing the Jade Spring Mine!"

The spiritual jade produced by the Yuquan Mine, as well as the Xuantie Essence Gold and other materials are all supplied to the Tiancheng Sword Sect, and the sect has a great dependence on the Yuquan Mine in terms of casting, refining, talisman making, etc., it can be said that without the support of the amazing benefits obtained from the mine every year, the Tiancheng Sword Sect would not be able to be prosperous and powerful today.

This time, the Youyuan Witch Sect and the Mobei Yang Ming Sect joined forces to threaten the Heavenly City Sword Sect, and the Sword Sect was fully prepared to invite allies, but it required staggering expenses and expenditures, and it was impossible to let others help for free.

In this way, the role of the Yuquan mine has become more and more prominent.

Under such circumstances, the capture of the Yuquan Mine by the Wu Clan and the Yangming Sect was definitely a key hit on the Sword Sect.

It's not that the Heavenly City Sword Sect doesn't pay attention to the Yuquan Mine, but it never expects that with the tight defense of the Mine Dock Fort, it will fall in just one day, and the severity of the situation can be said to be unprecedented.

"Don't wait for me!" Wang Mufeng said in a cold voice: "Wumen and Yangming Sect may not want to take the Yuquan Mine for themselves, their real purpose is probably to destroy the mine, so that we can't get the spirit jade and ore, if it weren't for Elder Zuo and they put down the Broken Dragon Stone to seal the mine, I'm afraid they would have succeeded by now!"

Qin Yun suddenly understood, if the two sides were two armies facing a decisive battle, then what the Wumen side did was the grain and grass of the Broken Sword Sect, so after the Wubao was lost yesterday, they couldn't wait to break into the cave through the mountain.

"Therefore, we must not return to the sect, but we should speed up and go to the Yuquan mine to stop the enemy's conspiracy at any cost!" Wang Mufeng continued: "Of course, I can send a message to the sect right now. Please ask the Sect Divine Ancestor to come for reinforcements, I believe that we will be able to repel the enemy!"

He stared at Qin Yun: "Qin Yun, are you willing to fight side by side with me?"

Qin Yun exhaled a long breath, clenched his fists and said in a deep voice, "The disciple is willing!"

Wang Mufeng showed a satisfied smile on his face, nodded and said, "Okay, let's go!"

The two of them left the peak together and returned to the mountain road, and the team supported by the Sword Sect then arrived to join them, this support army had a total of 300 people, including Wang Mufeng and the other three Huagang elders sent by the main peak. The sword cultivation of the Innate Realm is more than 100, and the strength is strong enough to easily destroy a Zuo Dao sect.

The other two hundred sect warriors of the Qi Refining Realm were all wearing heavy armor and swords, and they were fully armed with longbows on their backs!

The team carried an eagle falcon specially used to transmit information, and Wang Mufeng asked everyone to pause and rest. He hand-wrote a secret document and tied it to the eagle's talons, so that this spirit bird could be brought back to the sect to report the news.

After a short rest, the team continued on its way, much faster than it had been.

To Qin Yun's surprise, the two hundred sect warriors of the Qi Refining Realm were actually able to keep up with the sword cultivators of the Innate Realm, and all of them were silent, running all the way on the steep and rugged mountain road. The team is not scattered at all, and no one is left behind, and it is definitely the elite of the elite who is left in the army.

After half an hour of galloping, a towering peak appeared in front of me. The mountain road winds into a narrow canyon and looks extremely steep.

Wang Mufeng raised his left arm to signal the team to stop, and he said to Qin Yun and the other two sect elders: "There is a line of heaven ahead, and it was here that the sect's team escorting supplies was attacked yesterday. We have to guard against it!"

An elder surnamed Chen said, "Senior brother and I will go to the mountains on both sides to have a look, you should be careful." ”

The voice fell. He and another elder surnamed Li separated and swept left and right towards the peaks on both sides of the canyon, and disappeared between the dense forests in the blink of an eye.

Qin Yun knew that the two of them were going up there to find out if there were any enemy ambushes, so he said to Wang Mufeng with a move in his heart: "Elder Wang, I'll also go to the front to take a look." ”

Wang Mufeng nodded and said, "Okay, then you have to be careful, in case you encounter any danger, you will return immediately." ”

With his permission, Qin Yun immediately broke away from the team and entered the canyon first.

The canyon lives up to its name, with only two people walking side by side at its narrowest point, and when you look up, you can see that the cliffs are steep and as high as 100 feet, and you can barely see a white line that belongs to the sky.

Mountain springs and melted snow splashed down from the height of the cliffs, splashing down on the slippery mountain road one after another, Qin Yun walked a distance of about two or three hundred steps, and the front became a lot more open.

But the scene that appeared in front of him made Qin Yun's heart sink suddenly.

I saw dozens of corpses scattered on the mountain road, most of them with incomplete limbs, and there were rocks that had fallen from a high place everywhere, and a strong smell of blood permeated the air, indicating that a fierce battle had broken out here.

From the clothes worn by the corpses, Qin Yun could easily tell that these people were all fellow sects of the Heavenly City Sword Sect, and they were obviously the same team that had been attacked by the enemy yesterday.

The scene had obviously been cleaned up, and there were no materials such as spiritual jade ore escorted by the team, nor the corpses of the enemy, and many Sword Sect disciples still maintained the posture of fighting before their deaths, and the scene was so tragic that it was unbearable to witness.

A Sword Sect disciple was half-leaning against the rock, a large hole had been torn open in his chest, and his hands were clenched tightly in a broken heavy sword, which was raised high but had no chance to fall down.

Qin Yun slowly walked in front of the other party, stretched out his hand and smoothed the other party's eyes that were wide open in anger, although he had long been used to seeing life and death, endless anger still surged in his heart.

There was a sound of broken footsteps behind him, and Wang Mufeng led the team to catch up.

When they saw the tragic situation in the canyon, they couldn't help but let out a roar in unison, and many sect sword cultivators even drew their swords out of their sheaths and roared like thunder, and the canyon mountain road was suddenly murderous.

Wang Mufeng's face was extremely pale, and he shouted: "If you don't swear this revenge, you won't be a person! Let's go!"

Roar!~

As soon as his words fell, suddenly a cold and long howl sounded from the end of the canyon in front of him, sounding like the howl of some kind of demon beast, with an indescribable ferocity in his voice.

The next moment, there was a slight tremor on the ground, and it became stronger and stronger, and a lot of gravel on the cliffs on both sides of the canyon was shaken down, as if there were thousands of troops charging ahead!

Wang Mufeng's expression changed, his eyes revealed a terrifying light, and he roared: "Prepare for battle!"

There was no doubt that this was an ambush set by the enemy, but the other party's forces were not deployed on the mountain, so the two elders in charge of the search did not give warning.

In just a moment's effort, a large group of demon beasts appeared at the end of the canyon, and they rushed forward desperately as if they were crazy, squeezing the entire mountain road to the brim!

At the forefront of them are several large copper-skinned rhinoceros, if it were not for the relatively wide second half of the canyon, I am afraid that the roots would not be able to accommodate even one rhinoceros.

Their heads bowed and their hooves spread out, their muscles wrapped around their muscles like heavy armor, their thick limbs bursting with incredible power, and each leap and fall made the ground tremble with an overwhelming shudder.

What was terrifying was that the speed of these three fierce beasts was no less than that of a galloping horse, and the eyes of the six bulls flashed with a strange red light, and the sharp and sharp dark golden horns pointed diagonally ahead, rumbling towards Qin Yun's team.

Behind the three copper-skinned rhinoceros, there were hundreds of giant wolf beasts that should never have appeared at this time, their bloody tongues and fangs bared, and a low roar swept through the canyon like winter thunder.

In an instant, the beast herd rushed closer to a place that was only more than two hundred steps away from Qin Yun and the others.

Seeing such a scene, Wang Mufeng immediately shouted: "Release the arrow!"

When he shouted "Prepare for battle" just now, the two hundred sect warriors all took off their longbows and held them in their hands, and when they heard Wang Mufeng's order, they immediately picked up their longbows, and shot at the beasts in front of them with arrows.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Two hundred feathered arrows formed a dense rain of arrows in the air, instantly sweeping a distance of nearly two hundred steps, and falling towards the demon beasts.

The warriors of the sect cultivated by the Tiancheng Sword Sect are all from Xuanwu City, and they are the most loyal to the sect, and they have entered the Sword Sect since they were young for strict training and cultivation, although their realm cultivation is not very high, but their combat power is very strong, and they are good at using various weapons.

Bows and arrows are one of their most important weapons, the six-stone strong bow has a range of more than four hundred steps, the armor-piercing arrows shot within two hundred steps can easily penetrate the iron armor, and two hundred bows and arrows are fired in a volley at the same time, which is enough to shoot the innate master.

Oh!

A miserable howl suddenly sounded among the beasts, and more than a dozen giant wolves were shot by armor-piercing arrows, and they immediately screamed and rolled to the ground, and the originally neat charging queue was chaotic.

However, these giant wolves were not the primary target of the sect's warriors, they were only affected by the rain of arrows, and the real target, the three copper-skinned rhinoceros, continued to charge unscathed under the volley of armor-piercing arrows.

These copper-skinned rhinoceros have extremely strong defenses, and the armor-piercing arrows that can penetrate the heavy armor are shot at their bodies, and they are actually bounced off with a "clang", and the metal arrows made of black iron are broken and cannot penetrate half a minute.

However, in just a few breaths, the copper-skinned rhinoceros rushed close to fifty steps, and it was only more than a hundred steps away from Qin Yun and the others.

Wang Mufeng snorted coldly, drew his long sword and prepared to rush forward to meet the battle.

If three powerful copper-skinned rhinoceros were violently knocked into the team, it would inevitably cause serious consequences, and Wang Mufeng would never tolerate such a thing.

But before he could make a move, a brilliant sword qi came first, penetrating a hundred steps in an instant, and slashed down on the copper-skinned rhinoceros who was rushing to the front!

The copper-skinned rhinoceros continued to run forward for seven or eight steps, and its huge body, which weighed one or two thousand catties, suddenly divided into two halves neatly, and the thick skin that the arrow could not penetrate seemed to be like paper paste!

――――――――――――――――――――――――

I wish you all a happy Mid-Autumn Festival and a family reunion!
