One person: I, Daoist Master, am a cultivator of immortality!

"You can't kill me! You mustn't kill me! There are mysterious and eerie things in this mine. You need me, you still need me!"

As the fire dragon soldier circled and approached him, the Onmyoji began to shout.

"A strange existence? That's the last thing I'm afraid of. If it dares to come, I'll show it what it means to be professionally competent. As for you, just go ahead and relax!"

As soon as Sun Yao finished speaking, more than a dozen fire dragon soldiers pierced through the body of the Kamo clan's Onmyoji from all directions. Immediately afterward, the Kamo clan's Onmyoji's body was completely incinerated by the Samadhi True Fire.

"I have avenged you, so you should leave with your descendants. The miners in this cave are innocent; do not let your fighting implicate innocent people."

Sun Yao turned to look at Huang Daxian, who was healing his injuries. Upon hearing this, Huang Daxian bowed to Sun Yao.

"Rest assured, Daoist Master, I am already incredibly fortunate to have survived. I will never harm anyone or take any more lives to diminish my merit! I will take my children and leave the mine right now. I will repay your great kindness in the future!"

After the weasel finished speaking, it left the mine with its descendants. Apart from the terrified miners, all that remained were the hanged Yin-Yang Masters and the weasels.

"Alright, that's all over. You can leave now."

Sun Yao waved to the miners, who immediately snapped out of their daze and scrambled out of the mine. Sun Yao extended his right index and middle fingers in a sword-finger gesture, and a flame instantly appeared at the tip of his finger.

"go with!"

With a flick of his wrist, he flung the flame out of the mine. The flame flew out of the mine, growing larger and larger. In the blink of an eye, it transformed into a firebird, bursting out of the mine and letting out a cry in the sky before dissipating. But the members of the Unloading Ridge group waiting outside knew that this was a signal from Sun Yao.

"The Taoist priest has given the signal! Everyone, move into the cave!"

With Sun Yao absent, the temporary command naturally fell to Hong Guniang. After seeing the signal, Hong Guniang gave an order, and the main force of the Unloading Ridge immediately set off into the mine.

Zhang Qishan, Er Yuehong, and Qi Tiezui also followed the main group into the area, with the three of them walking at the very front of the group, right behind Hong Guniang.

Not long after entering the cave, they encountered fleeing miners. They learned roughly what had happened inside the cave from the miners. Upon learning that Sun Yao had displayed incredible power by summoning a fire dragon to destroy the Japanese Onmyoji, their admiration for Sun Yao deepened.

He can summon a fire dragon with a flick of his wrist—isn't that the mark of a deity? Without a doubt, the fact that Sun Yao is a deity is already a fact in the minds of the Unloading Ridge members.

After the main force had been walking for a few minutes, the vanguard, led by Red Girl, arrived at the huge mine where the Onmyoji and the Weasels had just fought. Sun Yao was sitting cross-legged there, waiting for them.

"Master Dao, the brothers from the Unloading Ridge Clan have all entered the mine. Which way should we go next?" Red Girl gestured for everyone to rest temporarily in the mine, while she herself went to Sun Yao's side. The mine was a maze of tunnels, with at least three tunnels connected by railway tracks, making it quite difficult to figure out which way to go.

"Where should we go? Perhaps I don't know either, but someone is calling to us. Our ancestors have already shown us the way; we just need to follow the voice." Upon hearing the voice of the girl in red, Sun Yao opened his eyes from his state of rest.

Sun Yao's words left Hong Guniang completely confused; she hadn't heard any guiding or summoning voice. However, she believed Sun Yao and didn't ask any questions, let alone question him.

"Alright, let's go." Sun Yao stood up, dusted himself off, and prepared to lead the group to find the old miner from more than ten years ago, following the sound.

But he suddenly turned his head, his eyes flashing as he stared intently at one of the mine entrances.

"You're playing tricks! Come out here!"

Sun Yao shouted, his movements becoming even faster. Before he could finish speaking, a Five Thunder Talisman flew from his hand, drifting straight towards the mine entrance.

With a deafening roar, purple lightning erupted suddenly at the cave entrance. A middle-aged woman dressed in a Taoist robe was struck by the lightning and vanished into black smoke at the cave entrance.

The whole thing happened in the blink of an eye. Red Girl didn't even have time to react. She only saw flashes of lightning and black eyes appear.

However, Sun Yao's double pupils allowed him to see clearly that it was a middle-aged woman dressed in an apricot-yellow Taoist robe, whose eyes shimmered with black and red light. She was completely shrouded in the robe, and a strange smile played on her lips.

She was instantly transformed into a wisp of black smoke by Sun Yao's Purple Heaven Thunder Technique, which clearly indicates that she was no good.

Moreover, although Sun Yao's Five Thunder Talisman had landed solidly, he still felt that the person was definitely alright, and perhaps he had only destroyed a clone.

"Master Dao, what's wrong? Was there something just now?"

Red Girl asked tentatively. She had previously accompanied Sun Yao on a trip to Northeast China and naturally knew that there were hidden secrets in this world that were hard for ordinary people to imagine.

"It's nothing, just some low-class stuff. Go and fetch Qi Tiezui for me; perhaps he knows something about this."

Sun Yao sent Hong Guniang to call Qi Tiezui over. Although Hong Guniang had traveled all over the country with Chen Yulou and had some experience, Qi Tiezui was still more professional in this area.

After receiving Sun Yao's order, Hong Guniang dared not delay and immediately returned to the group to call Qi Tiezui over.

"Master Dao, you were looking for me?"

"Eighth Brother, do you recognize this?"

As Sun Yao spoke, he used the Golden Light Spell to outline the figure from before. Sun Yao's Golden Light Spell had reached a level of near perfection; not only the figure's shape and clothing, but even the details of its face were depicted vividly.

Qi Tiezui frowned as he looked at the figure, seemingly thinking of something, then his brows furrowed again. After a moment, his brows relaxed, indicating that he was now confident.

"Master Dao, have you ever heard of the Xuan Guan Dao?"

“Xuan Guan Dao? Is it a branch of Taoism? I’ve never heard of it. Logically speaking, in this day and age, the Taoist sects in the north revere Quanzhen and the south revere Longhu. There shouldn’t be any branch of Taoism that I haven’t heard of. But I’ve never heard of Xuan Guan Dao.”

"Actually, it's not surprising that you haven't heard of them. I only learned about my connection with them by chance. What you just showed me was their revered Heavenly Mother, and they are a small force that has recently emerged."
