In order to prevent Mao Jun and others from breaking in early and ruining the plan, Chang Yue found an opportunity and passed the message up again.

Tell them not to act rashly for the time being and to wait until the second half of the night before taking action.

Just now, Xie Liuyin and Chang Yue had learned from the supervisor in a roundabout way that the miners had to work until midnight before they could rest for three hours.

Xie Liuyin planned to take action during that period. When the miners gathered together to rest, she could take the opportunity to activate the formation and protect all the miners.

Then Mao Jun and his group who were guarding outside immediately launched an attack, catching the group of men in black off guard and capturing all of them in one fell swoop.

Chang Yue, who had a perfect understanding with Xie Liuyin, understood what she meant after just a few glances without her saying much.

The two continued to pretend to be men in black, and thanks to Yunxuan's reminder, they did not attract any attention.

After seeing them gradually blending in, Yunxuan followed the plan she and Xie Liuyin had made and went into the house of the leader of the men in black, intending to eavesdrop and see if she could make any other discoveries.

These men in black acted quite cautiously. Even when they were in their own territory and communicating with their own people, they would rarely reveal the power behind them.

The group of people were all dressed in black, with no markings on their clothes. Furthermore, they hadn't used any spells or magical tools while in the mines.

This made it even more difficult for Xie Liuyin to determine their origins and identities, and he became more and more curious about this group of people.

No, I still have to remind Maojun a few words, telling them to remember to leave a few people alive when they attack, so that it will be easier to interrogate them later.

Time passed by little by little. There was no sunlight coming into the cave. If it were not for a special clepsydra to calculate the time, the people inside would not be able to notice the changes in the sky outside.

It was not until the hour glass pointed to midnight that the supervisors who had been waving their whips finally gave the order for the miners to go and rest.

It's not that they feel sorry for the miners, but simply because there are too few people captured and they are afraid that if a few more die of exhaustion, there will be no one left to work.

And because so many mortals have disappeared in the surrounding area, Yuecheng has become alert.

Several black-clad miners had told Xie Liuyin that they had originally wanted to go to the Qingxiao Sect's mine to capture a few more skilled miners. After all, these experienced miners were much more efficient than ordinary people at their work.

"It's a pity that the Qingxiao Sect has also discovered something is wrong here and has sent disciples to investigate. We have no choice but to stop for the time being." The supervisor's tone was not without regret.

Xie Liuyin became even angrier after hearing these words, but she pretended to agree and complained along with the supervisor.

Compared to the spacious and bright stone chambers where the supervisors lived, the miners' living quarters were not only crowded but also damp.

Xie Liuyin had seen it before. It was just a randomly dug stone cave. More than a hundred miners, big and small, were crowded inside. There were only some straw mats on the ground that could barely accommodate one person lying down.

Because everyone slept together, they were finally not so cold.

After most of the miners had gathered, the supervisor yawned and went to rest.

Seeing this, Chang Yue took the initiative to talk to him and kept Xie Liuyin behind him.

While no one was paying attention to him, Xie Liuyin quickly activated the formation plate, and an invisible defensive formation enveloped all the miners in the cave.

After doing this, she quickly sent a message to Mao Jun who had been waiting on the ground for a long time.

It's time to start attacking!

Not long after the news spread, the entire underground mine was in chaos.

First, several men in black came running from the mine exit and shouted to the others, "Oh no! Someone's breaking in!"

The leader of the men in black, who was sleeping soundly in his stone chamber, heard the noise and immediately rushed out with a long sword.

He grabbed a fleeing man in black and asked, "What's going on? How did someone break in?"

"I don't know either, boss. We were guarding the passage, and suddenly a lot of people broke in. Seventeen and Eighteen were caught. I saw the situation was not good, so I ran here to inform everyone." The man in black was also confused.

Seeing that he knew nothing, the leader angrily threw him to the ground and then shouted to the crowd who obviously didn't know what to do: "Be quiet! The mine must not be lost. No matter who comes in, you all come with me and kill them all!"

With the leader leading the way, the other men in black, fearing his dominance, followed obediently, intending to eliminate all the invaders.

It was also at this time that a man in black suddenly realized that there seemed to be something wrong with the number of people in the team.

"Hey, where are the seventh and ninth brothers?" he asked curiously.

The man in black spoke loudly, and as soon as he spoke, everyone else heard it.

The leader in the front had not yet reacted mentally, but his body had already sensed the danger.

He subconsciously moved to the side, and the next second a hidden weapon flew past his cheek.

The leader turned around suddenly and saw a man in black throwing a hidden weapon at him again.

The leader's eyes widened instantly: "How dare you, Old Seven, betray me!"

He subconsciously rushed forward and got rid of the traitor in the team first.

But before the leader could attack the man in black, Mao Jun had already led his men in and attacked them without any hesitation.

The leader was caught off guard and had no time to care about the traitor, so he could only struggle to deal with the invader in front of him.

There were quite a few people in black, but Mao Jun brought more people this time.

In addition, there was Chang Yue, dressed in black, who would pop out from the corner from time to time to attack others. The battle soon became one-sided.

The leader faced Mao Jun and was directly beaten by him. He also saw the miserable state of his other brothers and knew that if this continued, he would definitely be doomed.

After thinking for a while, he finally gritted his teeth, gathered all his spiritual power and slashed at Mao Jun. Mao Jun was frightened by the power and took a few steps back to avoid the blow.

After successfully separating from Mao Jun, the leader immediately took out the magic weapon from the storage bag, poured spiritual power into it, and was about to activate the magic weapon to escape from here.

However, he had only injected half of his spiritual power when a figure suddenly appeared from nowhere and swung a sword at the leader.

The sword was as fast as light and shadow. The leader didn't even feel the pain before his hands were separated from his body.

Realizing what had happened, he screamed and glared resentfully at the person who had dared to hurt him.

The other person was also wearing black clothes. From the other person's body shape, the leader recognized him as Lao Jiu at a glance.

But he quickly realized something was wrong, because all his brothers learned to use swords, and Lao Jiu didn't know how to use a sword at all, not to mention that the sword of the man in front of him was obviously not an ordinary one.

The leader's eyes widened instantly: "You are not Lao Jiu, who are you?"

The man slowly pulled off the black cloth on his face, and his whole body shape suddenly changed.

"Thank you Liuyin from the Qingxiao Sect for coming here to bring back our miners!"
