After careful consideration, Li Yuanchao decided not to pursue Li Changsheng and others. He cautiously left two Nascent Soul monks behind, and then led the rest of his teammates to several other mountains for support.
Under Li Yuanchao's careful planning, a group of upper realm monks hiding at the foot of the mountain quietly broke into the spiritual mine. They ignored the ordinary monks in the mine and focused on killing the powerful monks stationed at the mine. Li Yuanchao knew that as long as these guardians could be eliminated, the entire spiritual mine could easily fall under their control.
The team of monks led by Li Yuanchao is powerful, and the members' cultivation levels have all reached the middle stage of Nascent Soul without exception. Their offensive was swift and fierce. In less than half an hour, almost all the patrolling monks stationed on the eight hills were annihilated, and no one was spared.
Only the group of people led by Li Changsheng successfully escaped this bloody massacre.
After taking control of all the hills, Li Yuanchao led his men straight to the Ling Mine below without stopping. After successfully seizing control of the Ling Mine, he immediately sent a signal to Lu Chunfeng that the mission was successful.
At this moment, Li Changsheng had successfully reunited with Meng Yue. After confirming that there were no signs of pursuit by the upper realm monks, he slowed down his flight speed. He knew that he was now in a safe place and there was no need to rush.
It would be safer to wait for Sun Sanshi and others to return and return to the base camp together. After all, returning alone may be misunderstood as deserting, which is not a wise move.
Li Changsheng waited patiently for a stick of incense, and Sun Sanshi arrived. His consciousness was keenly aware that there were two familiar auras following Sun Sanshi. After confirming that there were no other potential dangers, Li Changsheng decided to continue waiting for the remaining two monks to arrive and join him.
Sun Sanshi said solemnly: "Friend Daoist Li, the situation is not good. I am afraid that our human race's largest spiritual mine cannot be preserved. Those monks from the upper world are obviously well prepared, and their offensive is fierce and precise. When I left , almost all the remaining hills have been captured."
"We have done our best and we are not ashamed. When we return, we only need to report truthfully. I believe that the Great Elder will not be more harsh on us." Li Changsheng said firmly, with fearlessness and calmness in his eyes.
"Having said that, Fellow Daoist Li's time in this human race's base camp is still short. And I have been here for nearly a hundred years, and I know that the great elders of the human race often only look at the results, and the process is not important to them." Sun Sanshi sighed. He said with a breath.
Hearing Sun Sanshi's words, Li Changsheng couldn't help but frown. He has never had any contact with the great elders of the human race, but he knows a little about their judgment standards.
If it is true as Sun III said, then the future of human monks is indeed worrying. If things go on like this, they are likely to be completely wiped out by the monks from the upper world.
At this moment, the two monks who had fought side by side finally caught up. They immediately saluted Li Changsheng and Sun III. Li Changsheng noticed that the two of them were exhausted and exhausted. He immediately took out a few bottles of elixirs to restore spiritual power and handed them into their hands.
The two human monks received the elixir given by Li Changsheng with flattered expressions on their faces. They immediately took the elixir without hesitation, eager to quickly restore their exhausted spiritual power.
For Li Changsheng, gifting pills was just a simple task, and these pills had no actual effect on him. Now, he was happy to be a favor, after all, these pills were of great significance to these two monks. He knew that in the days to come, these two monks might be able to be used for him.
After Li Changsheng saw the two of them taking the elixir, he said: "Fellow Taoists, I will only give you one stick of incense to restore your spiritual power. After that, we must rush back to the human race's base camp, otherwise the night will be long and we will have many dreams."
After hearing Li Changsheng's instructions, everyone immediately nodded to show compliance, then quickly meditated and adjusted their breath, concentrating on restoring their spiritual power. Li Changsheng was on the side using his spiritual consciousness to sense everything around him to ensure their safety.
After Lu Chunfeng received the news that Li Yuanchao had successfully captured the human spirit mine, his joy was beyond words. He quickly used the secret method of sound transmission and issued a comprehensive retreat order to the upper realm monks from all sides.
Ding Zhiqiu stood on the sentry tower and was keenly aware of the strangeness of the monks in the upper world. Their offensive suddenly slowed down, no longer as step-by-step as before, but retreating while attacking.
This change obviously heralded their intention to retreat, which made Ding Zhiqiu even more alert. He knew that he must always remain vigilant to prevent unexpected events.
A moment later, Ding Zhiqiu witnessed a large-scale retreat of monks from the upper world, which surprised him. This battle started out of nowhere and ended out of nowhere.
The battle has not yet entered a fierce stage, but the opponent has already fully retreated. Ding Zhiqiu was full of doubts and didn't understand why the other party gave up the attack so quickly. There seems to be an unknown motive behind this battle.
Kuang Longhu, who was still fighting hard at the bottom of the valley, was also very confused at this moment. The two sides who were locked in a fierce battle just now, in the blink of an eye, all the monks in the upper realm withdrew to their base camp and disappeared into the valley bottom.
All these changes were unexpected, and Kuang Longhu was confused for a moment. He was stunned for a moment, and then quickly issued an order for his men to start clearing the battlefield. He gave clear instructions that all monks' corpses must be burned thoroughly to ensure that they would not be stolen.
Although Kuang Longhu didn't know the purpose of the monks from the upper realm in stealing the monks' corpses, he received clear instructions after reporting it to the Great Elder last time: on the battlefield, all monks' corpses must be completely burned.
After Lu Chunfeng saw that the monks had safely retreated to the base camp, he quickly organized a team of monks to go to the human spirit mine newly occupied by Li Yuanchao. He knew that now was the critical moment to conquer the psychic mines and the upper realm.
Even if the human monk wants to counterattack immediately, he has nothing to fear because he is fully prepared to ensure the safety of this important resource.
Although Ding Zhiqiu was keenly aware that this attack by the upper realm monks was not the main purpose, he could not accurately guess their true intention. The resource point he was most worried about, the news sent back was that everything was safe, and no trace of any monks from the upper world was found.
Even the news just sent back is the same. All resource points remain safe and stable. All this made Ding Zhiqiu deeply confused, and he became increasingly elusive about the true purpose of the monks in the upper world.
The news that Ding Zhiqiu had just received from the largest spiritual mine was actually false. The news was actually delivered to him by an informant from Li Yuanchao and the human monks.
Li Yuanchao had bought enough time for the upper realm monks, and he knew that the large army of upper realm monks was coming quickly. As time goes by, this spiritual mine will officially belong to the upper realm monks, and their territory will be greatly expanded as a result.
