534: Kill

Elder Jian Xuan's expression was sorrowful.

At this moment, he frantically begged for mercy.

But Wang Dong's expression didn't change in the slightest.

Instead, he exerted a little force with both hands.

The next moment, his neck was directly twisted, and even the Elder's Divine Soul couldn't escape.

He was directly crushed to death by Wang Dong.

Many Nine Profound Sect Disciples were scared pale at this moment.

One by one, they scrambled to their feet and fled, only to be pursued and killed by the Wang Family disciples.

This time, the Wang Family returned victorious from the great battle for the Spiritual Vein.

On a mountain peak.

Wang Dong spoke to Wang Hao.

"There's no need for such trouble. Later, Yu Hao can come and set up a Teleportation Array."

"That will make mining easier. Also, you know the background of this force, right?"

"They probably won't let this go. There will inevitably be a second confrontation afterward, and we need to guard against that. Oh, and you can contact me with any issues."

"Yes, Clan Chief," Wang Hao nodded in response.

Then Wang Dong turned and left.

He couldn't keep wasting time here.

Although at this moment, it wasn't exactly wasting time.

But once the task was complete, there was naturally no need to stay.

Moreover, besides here, there were also one or two Spiritual Veins that Wang Ming had discovered, but they were far from here and very remote, which might present some other difficulties for mining.

It was not convenient to go there at this time.

Besides these, there was also the cooperation with the Sixth Prince.

Although he had already handed this matter over to others.

However, the First Prince's side would certainly harbor a desire for revenge.

It seemed the Wang Family was currently in a tumultuous period.

He had to oversee the entire situation and proceed cautiously.

Meanwhile, on the other side.

At the Nine Profound Sect's mountain gate.

The Sect Master, seated in the main hall, was conversing eloquently with the various Elders below.

They were about to acquire a Spiritual Vein.

Although it was only Low Grade, in a place like Dao Province, it was already considered a decent harvest.

While it wouldn't bring about a qualitative change for the entire Sect.

It was a good option for distributing rewards to those below.

But just at this moment,

Someone suddenly rushed in through the main entrance.

A Disciple, trembling all over, knelt directly in the middle of the main hall.

"Sect Master, something bad has happened."

"Nonsense! Who is not well? Am I not sitting here perfectly fine?" The Sect Master's expression was livid.

Although this was clearly just an unintentional remark.

However, having reached this level of cultivation.

One would have some subtle insights into certain profound matters.

Speaking too much would naturally affect one's Luck.

Under such circumstances, hearing someone say he was not well, he was naturally displeased.

But soon, he didn't dwell on this matter too much.

He changed his tone and spoke in a deep voice.

"What exactly is the matter? Speak honestly."

"It's Elder Jian Xuan..."

"Him? Has he returned?"

"Isn't that a good thing? Why would you say it's not good?"

As these words came out, the many Elders present also nodded.

If they remembered correctly, Elder Jian Xuan had gone to contend for a Spiritual Vein with someone this time.

Although they didn't know who the opponent was,

Within a hundred thousand li radius, the Nine Profound Sect was the largest Sect.

No one had ever been able to contend with the Nine Profound Sect.

With Elder Jian Xuan personally leading, it was even easier to achieve.

He must have brought back good news by now.

But just at this moment, something unexpected happened to everyone.

That Disciple shook his head frantically.

"Sect Master, and all Elders, I am a Disciple guarding the Soul Hall, not a Disciple guarding the mountain gate and relaying messages."

"What?" As these words came out, everyone was startled.

They seemed to realize something, and their expressions subtly changed.

The Sect Master, sitting at the head.

It seemed he had reacted at this moment.

He rose from his chair and quickly questioned.

"What do you mean by this? Are you saying something happened to Elder Jian Xuan?"

As the last few words were uttered, the entire hall immediately burst into an uproar, with waves of discussion.

No one had ever thought of this.

Elder Jian Xuan was almost one of the strongest among the Nine Profound.

With his ability, almost no one within a hundred thousand li radius was his match.

What exactly happened?

Or who did he provoke?

How could something happen?

"Reporting to the Sect Master, I don't know either, but the Elder's soul fire suddenly extinguished. You know..."

The messenger Disciple's words had just fallen.

The entire hall immediately fell silent.

The extinguishing of the soul fire naturally represented death.

What did the demise of Elder Jian Xuan, one of the Nine Great Elders of the Sect, signify?

The Nine Profound Sect's strength would decrease by at least two-tenths.

Don't underestimate these two-tenths.

This included the Sect Master and many Elders, as well as many Sect Disciples.

One person accounting for two-tenths was enough to show his formidable status.

Moreover, in contending with others and seeking benefits for the Sect, Elder Jian Xuan had always led the charge.

Now that the Elder had fallen, they were unsure if the Nine Profound Sect's future days would be easy.

But the benefits would certainly decrease.

The others did not possess the same oppressive aura as Elder Jian Xuan.

For a time, within the main hall, a pin drop could be heard.

After a long while, an extremely furious aura emanated from the Sect Master.

"Good, good, very good.

I want to know who exactly was able to harm an Elder of my Sect."

"Everyone, investigate immediately. Who was contending with us for the Spiritual Vein in the Yaogu Mountain Range this time?"

The Sect Master was enraged, his words filled with fierce Qi.

But everyone present quickly spoke up.

"Sect Master, something is wrong. From my understanding of the surroundings, there is clearly no one who can contend with us."

"Especially for Spiritual Veins within our Sect's territory, it's basically impossible for others to mine them. Although we haven't discovered it, within my territory, for others to come here is tantamount to seeking death."

"And now that Elder Jian Xuan personally led the team, it's even more impossible for the other party to act recklessly. It must be that Elder Jian Xuan offended someone, and it's an enemy seeking revenge."

"If we rashly interfere in this matter, it will certainly incur the displeasure of that powerful individual. A powerhouse capable of killing Elder Jian Xuan, even within our Sect, would be considered at the level of a Grand Old Ancestor."

These words appeared one after another.

Everyone present also nodded in agreement.

It was clear they all held the same thought.

Although Elder Jian Xuan was dead, they couldn't avenge him.

The enemy was clear, but they were in the dark. Without knowing the specific conditions of the enemy, acting rashly would only bring disaster to the entire Sect.

Just at this moment, another Disciple suddenly came to report from outside.

"Report! A Disciple who followed Elder Jian Xuan has come to report the situation. He is currently outside the mountain gate, and his clothes are tattered. It seems something extremely important has happened."

Everyone looked at each other.
