285: Spirit Mine War

At the Lin Family's Spirit Mine, in the new Spirit Mine where Zhou Luo used to be.

Xu Changsheng, with a severed arm, looked haggard and worried as he watched the dazzling attacks outside land on the formation, producing bursts of roaring sounds.

"Uncle Xu, the Zhou Family is also trapped."

Zhou Changle, holding a top-grade magic sword, frowned and came to his side, saying.

Zhou Changle now wore a green robe, his Face resolute, less of the Immortal Sect aura he had before, but more of a killing intent.

During his time at the Spirit Mine, he grew continuously through fighting, and now, relying on that Spirit Veins, he had stepped into the Qi Training Ninth Level.

Originally, the reason Zhou Luo was willing to arrange them here was to allow his children to make greater progress on the Spirit Veins.

He just didn't expect the Lin Family to fall so quickly. It was said that the Wang Family had reached a consensus internally and was rushing to aid the Lin Family, but it was still unknown when this aid would arrive.

Now this Spirit Mine had become an isolated island.

Fortunately, Zhou Changle and Zhou Shiling were here, along with Xu Changsheng's Array Formation enhancement, otherwise, this place would have fallen long ago.

"If it really doesn't work, we can only retreat towards Jiang City," Xu Changsheng judged.

Originally, according to Zhou Luo's instructions, if the Spirit Mine could not be defended, they were to retreat home, but now that Maple Leaf City was besieged, if they wanted to escape, they could only go to Jiang City.

Because Zhou Luo had instructed in his letter that if Maple Leaf City fell, everyone should go to Jiang City; even if the Lin Family was destroyed, Jiang City would be fine.

Although Xu Changsheng didn't know why he was so confident, he still chose to trust him unconditionally.

"Uncle Xu, retreating is no problem. Although the sect doesn't want to get involved in this matter, Revered Master still gave my sister and me some means to escape," Zhou Changle said with shining eyes.

Although he and his sister were both Immortal Sect Disciples, and had even become Disciples of a Golden Core True Person, the Azure Origin Sect seemed to intentionally let the Longevity Families fight among themselves.

With the general trend, the only thing they could probably do was temper themselves in this battle.

Anyway, with their Azure Origin Sect Disciple identity, the Lu Family would definitely not make things difficult for them.

Moreover, he was confident he could take his elder brothers away.

"Okay, let's wait a few more days. I'll make the arrangements," Xu Changsheng decided.

The formation wouldn't last much longer; they had to leave quickly.

Late at night, the bright moon hung in the sky.

The Lu Family Cultivators' attacks temporarily stopped, and everyone got a brief period of rest Time.

Zhou Luo's eldest son, Zhou Changan, came before Xu Changsheng and informed him of the evacuation arrangements.

"Chang'an, how can you be at the back?"

Looking at the arrangements, Xu Changsheng said with worry.

According to his plan, those with higher Cultivation levels, such as Zhou Changle and Zhou Shiling, would definitely be the ones covering the rear.

Even if they were captured by the Lu Family, the Lu Family would ensure their safety out of respect for the Immortal Sect.

They were the best candidates.

"Uncle Xu, I am the eldest brother, so I must cover the rear," Zhou Changan said in a serious tone.

He was now close to forty Nian old, his Face bearing the steadiness of a middle-aged man, and his eyes were unwavering.

Because he had a Nine-Rank Spiritual Root, even with the Innate Qi enhancement, after decades of Cultivation, he had only just stepped into the Qi Training Sixth Level, so his lifespan was far from as long as Zhou Luo's, which was why he appeared somewhat mature.

Although logically and emotionally, it was most correct for Zhou Changle and Zhou Shiling to cover the rear, as their elder brother, he truly could not allow his younger siblings to rush ahead of him.

Furthermore, it wasn't that he was incapable; Father had also given him a top-grade Talismans.

"Have you really thought it through?" Xu Changsheng looked at him, saying seriously.

If the other party insisted, he would not refuse, and he also believed that the other party was not an arrogant person.

"Yes, don't worry, Uncle Xu, it's fine," Zhou Changan nodded.

"Alright, you're also tired today. Go down and rest. We'll make arrangements tomorrow."

Xu Changsheng didn't say much more. He took the Formation Plate, preparing to set up a few defensive formations to block the enemy, which could also buy Time during the retreat.

Zhou Changan left the room but did not return to his own room; instead, he walked towards the outside.

Although the Lu Family did not attack after dark and there were dedicated guards on duty, he was still not at ease.

Every night, he would patrol the area to ensure everything was okay before returning to his room to rest.

"Young Revered Master Chang'an."

As he passed by several Cultivators, they all bowed respectfully to him.

They were the original Cultivators of the Spirit Mine, now completely subdued by Xu Changsheng and the others, obedient to every command.

Because they knew that only by following them would there be a glimmer of hope.

"Are there any problems tonight?" Zhou Changan asked.

"Reporting, Young Revered Master, everything is the same as usual," the other party replied.

Zhou Changan nodded and then walked to the side.

The layout of this Spirit Mine was the same as before. At the foot of the mountain was a pavilion, which was where Xu Changsheng and Zhou Luo's children lived.

On the mountain, in addition to some ordinary miners, there were also some Zhou Family Cultivators and guards.

But the entire Spirit Mine occupied a considerable area. If it weren't for the formation set up by the Great Elder, the Lu Family Cultivators would have likely rushed in from other places long ago.

Every night, Cultivators would patrol various areas.

The purpose of doing this was to ensure that the formation had not been damaged.

Zhou Changan paced along the mountain path. In the silent mountain forest, only his footsteps echoed.

He carefully checked every place, striving to ensure no problems occurred.

Just then, he encountered several Zhou Family Cultivators walking towards him in a hurry.

"Stop," Zhou Changan frowned.

The bodies of the three men froze, a hint of panic flashed across their Faces, and they quickly stopped.

"Young Revered Master Chang'an!"

"Are you patrolling?"

Zhou Changan looked at the way they were walking with their heads down and in a hurry; it was too perfunctory.

The three men's hearts thumped. One of them quickly said, "Young Revered Master Chang'an, we just finished patrolling and are about to change shifts."

"Change shifts?"

Zhou Changan hesitated. He looked at the three of them and found their expressions were a bit off, as if they had done something wrong.

His heart sank, and he was about to walk forward.

The three men quickly blocked his path: "Young Revered Master Chang'an, we have already patrolled over there, there are no problems."

"Get lost!"

Zhou Changan shouted sternly, releasing his Qi Training Sixth Level Cultivation with a roar.

The three men were so scared they quickly avoided him, lowering their heads with complex expressions.

Zhou Changan stepped forward, about to go ahead and check.

Whoosh—

Just then, a streak of flame shot out, heading straight for him.

Zhou Changan became alert and quickly summoned the High Grade magic sword Zhou Luo had given him, thrusting it forward.

Golden spiritual energy roared out, and the bright sword light shone under the night sky, colliding with the attack.

Enemy attack!

He suddenly came back to his senses and looked angrily at the three men.

The three men knew their actions had been exposed. With a ruthless heart, they attacked him simultaneously, aiming to kill him.

Zhou Changan didn't have Time to crush the communication Talismans and could only hastily meet the enemy.

In an instant, the four of them were fighting together.

Under the night sky, even more people were rushing towards this location.
