Immortality and Cultivation: This old man seeks enlightenment through mere survival.

In the following period, Jiuyou began to make specific arrangements for the mining alliance structure and division of labor.

"Wandering in the clouds".

"exist!"

"Your disciples of the Yuntian Sect are skilled in manipulating clouds and discerning the finest details. Therefore, your sect will be responsible for patrolling the main tributaries of the Tianqing River, guarding against the infiltration of external forces, and drawing accurate hydrological and mineral vein maps."

"Wang Pan".

"Your subordinate obeys!" Wang Pan lowered his posture even further.

"Your Wang family's 'Mountain Shaking Technique' is powerful yet steady, and your disciples are mostly skilled in earth and stone techniques."

The daily security and supervision of each mining area, as well as the excavation of new mines, will be led by your Wang family.

Furthermore, the reconstruction and future management of Qinglongjin Wharf will also be entrusted to your Wang family.

This is a lucrative position, and Wang Pan was overjoyed upon hearing this, so he quickly agreed.

"Jiang Feng."

"Senior, please give me your orders!"

"The Jiang family has just established its foundation and needs to consolidate its base."

The Jiang family will take the lead in allocating resources within the alliance, verifying accounts, and making initial contacts with various forces.

"Furthermore, I will leave behind several easily exploitable jade mines near Fangyou City, which your Jiang family will manage independently..."

With just a few words, Jiuyou had completed the allocation of the mining alliance's power framework and core interests.

Yuntian Sect gained fame and intelligence.

Wang Jia gained real power and some of the financial resources;

The Jiang family, thanks to their special relationship with Jiuyou, secured a key position in resource allocation and communication, and also exclusively owned several mining sites, making them the most profitable!

The crowd below understood perfectly, and they all exclaimed that when one person attains enlightenment, even their chickens and dogs ascend to heaven!

From now on, the Jiang family's status in the Tianqing River region will be completely different.

.........

After leaving Qinglongjin.

Jiuyou was about to send the seized storage bags back to Yunli Mountain.

While speeding along, they suddenly detected a strong fluctuation of spiritual energy coming from below.

One of the most piercingly sharp golden sword lights gave him a vague sense of familiarity.

Cultivators possess extraordinary memories; after a brief recollection, Jiuyou remembered the style of this sword technique.

It is quite similar to the sword cultivator named Xiao Wujian in the Black Miasma Forest Sword Tomb, only its power is more than 70-80% weaker.

"Ah, that reminds me."

A cold glint flashed in Jiuyou's eyes.

"When I came out of the Sword Tomb, I made a note of it in my little notebook."

Now that we've run into each other, let's settle things while we're at it. The Golden Light Sect, let's begin with you.

With a thought, he suddenly turned around, transforming into a streak of azure light, and rushed straight towards the source of the battle fluctuations below!

Below in the mountains and forests, Elder Liu He of the Golden Light Sect was grinning maliciously as he directed his disciples to besiege another group of cultivators.

As a newly emerging Foundation Establishment power, the Golden Light Sect has never ceased its friction with the surrounding sects.

They were extremely lucky this time, as they happened to run into a female elder from their nemesis, the Jade Flower Sect, who was leading her disciples on a training mission when they were unfortunately attacked by a mid-stage second-tier snake demon. Everyone in the team was injured, and their strength was greatly diminished.

How could Liu He let such a golden opportunity to kick someone when they're down pass by?

"Hehe, you women of the Jade Flower Sect, today is your death day! Kill them!"

Liu He activated his flying sword, which transformed into golden light and moved with lightning speed, aiming straight for the throat of the struggling female elder of the Jade Flower Sect, who was about to perish!

At this critical moment——

"call out!"

A highly condensed crimson streak, appearing from nowhere, struck the golden sword light with perfect precision, arriving first despite being delayed!

"Oh!"

Liu He's painstakingly refined flying sword was as fragile as glass, instantly shattered by the blood-red streak! The spiritual light vanished, and fragments scattered everywhere!

"what?!"

Liu He was horrified. Before he could react, a terrifying pressure as vast as an abyss and as heavy as a mountain descended from the sky and enveloped the entire area!

Under this oppressive force, the flow of spiritual energy within his body instantly froze, his legs went weak, and he almost knelt on the ground.

"Senior, spare my life! I don't know where I offended you, please be merciful!"

Liu He was terrified and didn't even dare to look up to see who it was. He was the first to scream for mercy.

The newcomer's aura was unfathomable; he was definitely a Foundation Establishment Perfection cultivator, or even stronger!

"Ha, the people of the Golden Light Sect, you've already forgotten me?"

A slightly mocking voice rang out.

Liu He trembled as he raised his head. When he saw the face clearly, his pupils suddenly contracted to pinpoints, and his lips trembled, unable to utter a single complete syllable:

“You…you are…Nine…Nine…”

The newcomer was dressed in a blue robe, with a handsome face that also carried a hint of determination.

"Thank you so much for saving my life, senior! May I ask your honorable name, senior, and the entire Jade Flower Sect..."

The female elder of the Jade Flower Sect, who had survived the ordeal, patted her prominent chest and breathed a long sigh of relief, about to express her gratitude to the savior who had fallen from the sky.

Jiuyou didn't turn around, his gaze still fixed on the terrified Liu He, his voice indifferent:

"Where is Xiao Wujian?"

Seeing Liu He standing there dumbfounded, as if his soul had left his body, Jiu You frowned impatiently:

"Fine, let's just use soul search."

After saying that, he reached out and grabbed Liu He out of control, and Liu He flew into his palm. His five fingers, like hooks, gripped Liu He's crown!

"Uhhhhh-!"

Liu He let out a shrill scream, his whole body convulsing violently, but he couldn't muster even the slightest strength to resist.

A moment later, Jiuyou casually tossed it aside, as if discarding a piece of trash.

"So he was in seclusion at the Golden Light Sect's mountain gate, trying to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage? He certainly knows how to pick his time."

He got the information he wanted and tightened his fingers slightly.

"Pfft!"

Liu He's head exploded like a ripe watermelon, spraying red and white matter everywhere, and the headless corpse collapsed limply to the ground.

Jiuyou didn't even glance at the Jade Flower Sect. With a flicker, he disappeared from the spot and headed straight for the Golden Light Sect's mountain gate.

Saving the members of the Jade Flower Sect was merely a convenient thing for him.

"Elder Yu... Elder Yu, who was that senior...? So... so terrifying! He killed Liu He in a single move!"

A female disciple of the Jade Flower Sect asked in a trembling voice, still shaken by the experience.

Elder Yu gazed in the direction where Jiuyou had disappeared. The profile picture in her mind finally overlapped with the legendary portrait and the image captured by the memory stone. She gasped and murmured in a daze:

"He...he's probably the one who, a month ago, overwhelmed the Song family with his fist at Qinglongjin and utterly defeated Qingming Zhenren...Jiuyou! When did the Golden Light Sect provoke such a ferocious god? They...are finished!"

"boom--!!!"

A deafening roar shook the heavens and the earth.

The second-tier protective array that the Golden Light Sect relied on for survival was as fragile as paper, shattered by a loud shout and a powerful punch!

The light dissipated with a mournful cry, revealing the panicked disciples of the Golden Light Sect behind it.

"Xiao Wujian, get out here!"

The overwhelming pressure from the Nine Netherworlds, like a tangible dark cloud, enveloped the entire Golden Light Sect.

All the disciples and deacons felt difficulty breathing and their minds were about to break.

"what happened?!"

"The mountain-protecting formation... has been broken?!"

"Who is it? Has the Jade Flower Sect attacked?"

"No! It was a punch! He was blown apart by a single punch!"

"Who is that person in the sky?! What a terrifying aura!"

The entire Jin Guangmen was in complete chaos.

The sect leader was pale and trembling with fear.

Since hearing the news of Qinglongjin a month ago, he hasn't had a good night's sleep. He knows that Jinguangmen and Jiuyou have a grudge, and he is afraid that this evil star will come knocking on his door.

And here it comes!!
