The Heavens: From Film and Mythology to Conquering Myriad Realms

Lu Yao quickly found Lü Tianmeng and told him about the rogue cultivators' plan to take action against the mine.

"How is this possible?! Do these rogue cultivators have the guts to do this?"

Lu Tianmeng's expression turned slightly cold, and his brows furrowed immediately.

“It’s absolutely true. I discovered this while patrolling the mine. These Qi Refining cultivators wouldn’t dare to do it, but what if a Foundation Establishment cultivator were involved?”

Lu Yao remained calm and asked indifferently.

"Foundation Establishment cultivators? Do you know how many there are?"

Lu Tianmeng's expression darkened slightly. There were only seven Foundation Establishment cultivators among them. Although they all came from major sects, it was nonsense to say that they could fight two against one. At most, they could only hold their own.

If there are nine Foundation Establishment cultivators attacking, then they will be in danger.

"I don't know, but these people dare to plot against the mine, so they must have something to rely on. We need to prepare early."

Lu Yao wasn't worried. Everyone here came from one of the seven major sects, and none of them were simple-minded. How could they be scared by a mere rogue cultivator?

Moreover, since they already knew about the attack by the rogue cultivators, there was no suspense at all.

Before long, Lu Tianmeng summoned all the Foundation Establishment cultivators from other sects to his cave and explained the whole story.

"Hmph! When did a rogue cultivator, as insignificant as a weed, dare to be an enemy of the disciples of the seven major sects?"

Zhang Qian sneered, clearly not taking these rogue cultivators seriously.

"Fellow Daoist Zhang, you must not underestimate your opponent. This rogue cultivator has been planning for so long, he is obviously well-prepared."

Shui Xuan of the Qingxu Sect pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said to Zhang Qian.

"You're supposed to be a disciple of a major sect, how can you be afraid of these rogue cultivators?"

Zhang Qian frowned and stared at Shui Xuan with a mocking tone.

"I only said not to underestimate the enemy, when have I ever been afraid?"

Shui Xuan's expression turned slightly cold, clearly disliking Zhang Qian's attitude.

"you……"

Zhang Qian wanted to say something, but was interrupted by a soft shout.

"Alright! Enough arguing, let's talk about how to deal with this group of rogue cultivators."

Lu Tianmeng gave a cold shout, interrupting the two's argument and bringing the topic back on track.

Lu Yao couldn't help but sigh at this moment. Zhang Qian of Huadaowu had spoken with barbs and directly offended Shui Xuan. He wondered how she had survived until now.

"These rogue cultivators are nothing more than using the tactic of collusion from within and without. I don't believe they can actually find nine or ten Foundation Establishment cultivators."

Mo Han of the Giant Sword Sect remained calm, speaking in a deep, muffled voice.

"That's right. We'll use their plan against them and catch them off guard, and the crisis will be resolved on its own."

Yu Kun from Huangfeng Valley also crossed his arms and said calmly.

Although they weren't as arrogant as Zhang Qian, treating rogue cultivators like ants, they naturally maintained the pride of sect disciples.

"Then let's proceed with this plan. When the time comes, we'll all attack together, kill one of them first, and these rogue cultivators will naturally collapse without a fight!"

Lu Tianmeng nodded, confirming his strategy, a hint of murderous intent flashing in his eyes.

……

A month later, everything in the canyon was calm. The scattered cultivators and miners continued to mine spirit stones, and the total amount of spirit stones stored in the canyon had reached more than 30,000.

More than 30,000 spirit stones were scattered among the Foundation Establishment cultivators of the seven major sects, but in the eyes of rogue cultivators, their location was not important, as long as they were within the mineral vein canyon.

"coming!"

Having anticipated this, Lü Tianmeng opened his eyes from his cave. He had already obtained information about the invading rogue cultivator from his spirit pet.

As a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator from Spirit Beast Mountain, Lü Tianmeng commands numerous spirit beasts, including a spirit bird with innate spiritual eyes that can detect the presence of cultivators.

Meanwhile, Lu Yao, who was in the cave, also received a telepathic message from Lü Tianmeng and went directly to the designated location to meet up.

"Eight Foundation Establishment cultivators, one late-stage, four mid-stage, and three early-stage. They're really well-prepared."

A cold glint appeared in Lü Tianmeng's eyes as he revealed the information he had gathered.

"In that case, let's do as we said before and work together to kill a Foundation Establishment early stage cultivator. After that, taking them down won't be a problem."

Yu Kun of Huangfeng Valley chuckled, clearly not taking these Foundation Establishment cultivators seriously.

"We are so grateful for Fellow Daoist Lu's warning this time. Otherwise, we would not know what would have happened if we had been ambushed."

Li Qin of Tianque Fort smiled and looked at Lu Yao.

“That’s right, we owe it all to Fellow Daoist Lu this time. Once we’ve taken down these rogue cultivators, Fellow Daoist Lu can choose the spoils first.”

Lu Tianmeng smiled and slipped away, giving Lu Yao priority in choosing the spoils of war, but only for public spoils.

According to convention, whoever kills the person gets the spoils.

Lu Tianmeng meant that Lu Yao could choose the spoils of war from the early Foundation Establishment cultivator they killed together.

"Tch! Just lucky."

Zhang Qian spat lightly, but did not object.

However, a chill crept into Lu Yao's heart as he faced Zhang Qian's repeated provocations.

The seven of them went directly to the outside of the canyon and began to lie in ambush, waiting for the arrival of the rogue cultivator who had reached the Foundation Establishment stage.

Meanwhile, inside the mine, the Qi Refining cultivators who had been lying in wait also began to take action.

They suddenly launched an attack on the sect disciples guarding the miners, causing a great commotion and resulting in injuries and deaths among the sect disciples.

However, Lu Yao ignored the commotion inside the mine and remained crouched outside the canyon.

……

"Fellow Daoist Zhang, the people in the mine have started to move. It's time for us to make our move too."

One of the Foundation Establishment cultivators put down the communication talisman and spoke to the leading Foundation Establishment cultivator.

"Remember our strategy: focus fire on one person to kill them all, then slowly surround and finish them off!"

As the initiator of this operation and also the person with the highest cultivation level, he once again gave a few more words of advice.

Immediately, the eight people transformed into rainbow light and rushed into the canyon.

At this moment, due to the commotion in the mining canyon, the sect disciples on duty had activated the defensive formation, and a layer of blue light membrane enveloped the entire canyon.

"I'll break the formation!"

A rogue cultivator in the early Foundation Establishment stage stepped forward, holding a special magic weapon for breaking formations—the Formation-Breaking Cone.

Just as he was about to unleash the Formation-Breaking Cone, several spells and magical artifacts suddenly attacked him.

"Oh no! Help!"

The cultivator with the highest cultivation level, surnamed Zhang, was the first to react. He roared and summoned his magic weapon, intending to save the person.

Unfortunately, it was too late; they never imagined they had been ambushed.

Faced with the combined fire of seven Foundation Establishment cultivators, including one in the late Foundation Establishment stage, this early Foundation Establishment cultivator who had broken the formation had no chance to resist.

In his terror, he was blasted into dust, leaving only a formation-breaking cone and a storage bag.

"Bastard!"

The Foundation Establishment cultivator surnamed Zhang immediately showed anger, but he reacted the fastest, turning around and running away. This was his sense of danger as a rogue cultivator.

Their plan failed, and they even lost one person in retaliation. They had no chance of winning. If they didn't leave now, were they just waiting to be purged?

The other six people reacted immediately, all transforming into rainbow lights and scattering in all directions.
