289: Take over the God Mine

"Since Jiang Ye said he would go to the Divine Mine Site in three days, he must have a plan, so there's no need to worry! As for the other families, tell those who are on good terms with us that we weren't the ones who took over the Xiao Family. Tell them not to act rashly, or they will be the next Xiao Family. The best course for them is to submit to Jiang Ye. This is a great ship, and we must make sure we are firmly on board!"

Zhu Yi asked doubtfully, "Father, why do you have so much confidence in him?"

"His murderous Aura! With just a few words, he decided to kill our Zhu Family's Grand Elder. This clean and decisive style of leaving no trouble for himself means he is bound to become a titan of his generation!"

The next day.

There were three families with ties to the Zhu Family. Upon learning of the situation, the Old Ancestors of these families came to the Zhu Family immediately to further confirm the truth. After receiving an affirmative answer from Zhu Renzhou, they all unanimously decided to join Jiang Ye's camp and stand against the Tianyun Sect together.

News of the Alliance of the four families spread soon after. At the same time, the news of the Xiao Family's extermination could no longer be hidden. Other families controlled by the Tianyun Sect also began to stir. Some were hesitating whether to join the Alliance of the four families, while others believed they were seeking their own destruction and could not possibly contend with the Tianyun Sect, choosing instead to immediately notify the Tianyun Sect to come and suppress them.

On the third day of Jiang Ye and the others' seclusion, the Tianyun Sect sent an Elder of the eighth level of the Divine Spirit Realm, Hu Tong, who brought nearly thirty Elite Disciples from the Sect.

The Old Ancestors of the four families also brought their respective Family elites. They stood before the gates of the Xiao Family residence, where Jiang Ye and the others were in seclusion, facing off against the forces of the Tianyun Sect and the Liu Family that had notified them.

Hu Tong said, "You small families actually dare to unite and resist my Tianyun Sect. You are simply seeking your own destruction! I will give you one more chance: surrender immediately and continue working for our Tianyun Sect, and I will spare you this once."

An Old Ancestor of the Liu Family said, "Elder Hu, they are determined to resist the Tianyun Sect this time. They even exterminated the Xiao Family."

Hu Tong frowned slightly. If a fight really broke out, it wouldn't be easy for either side. Although he could kill the four Family Old Ancestors, without them to do the dirty work, the extraction of Spirit Stones at the Divine Mine Site would slow down significantly. Furthermore, many of the thirty Elite Disciples he brought would surely die, which would be a great loss for the Sect.

"Regarding the extermination of the Xiao Family, as long as you guarantee that you will no longer resist in an Alliance, I can let bygones be bygones. Think it over carefully!"

A Tianyun Sect Disciple said, "Elder Hu, why be so polite to these small families on the edge of the Divine Realm? Disobedient dogs need to be taught a good lesson, otherwise they will just rebel again in the future."

Zhu Renzhou said, "Your Tianyun Sect has oppressed us for many years, forcing us to do shameless things like bullying the weak. If war breaks out today, it's not certain who will die!"

The Tianyun Sect Disciple who had just spoken shouted, "You old ghost! If you really want to oppose our Tianyun Sect to the end, then today we must kill the chicken to warn the monkeys!"

At that moment, a voice suddenly came from inside the residence: "Then we shall see who will be the chicken today!"

Everyone was shaken as an extremely oppressive Aura drew closer. Jiang Ye slowly flew out from the residence, his eyes gleaming with a fierce light as he looked at the people from the Tianyun Sect.

"Audacious ant—" Bang!!!

"What?" Everyone was shocked. The Tianyun Sect Elite Disciple who had been speaking was instantly blown into ashes. Hu Tong also found it unbelievable; even he couldn't do something like that—killing an Elite Disciple of the second level of the Divine Spirit Realm with such nonchalance.

"Who are you? How dare you kill someone from my Tianyun Sect!"

Jiang Ye looked at Hu Tong and said indifferently, "How many Spirit Stones are in the Tianyun Sect's treasury? I don't want to hear any nonsense!"

"Ninth level of the Quenching Spirit Realm? Where did you get the nerve to speak to me like this... Ah... What is going on with your power?"

Hu Tong was directly forced to his knees by Jiang Ye's pressure. Everyone present was shocked beyond words; a cultivator at the ninth level of the Quenching Spirit Realm was actually forcing an eighth-level Divine Spirit Realm expert to kneel before him.

Jiang Ye stood before him and said, "One last chance. If you don't speak, then die!"

Hu Tong couldn't even stand up now. He was drenched in sweat and felt a chill down his spine as he sensed the killing intent radiating from Jiang Ye. If he didn't speak, Jiang Ye would definitely kill him on the spot.

"I... I'll talk! Recently, many mining slaves have died in the Divine Mine Site, and production has dropped significantly. Currently, there are about one hundred thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones and five thousand Mid-Grade Spirit Stones in the Tianyun Sect's treasury."

"Oh? Besides the mine site here, do you control any others?"

"No more. We are only a low-level Sect in the Outer God Realm. This Divine Mine Site was also something that the high-level powers of the Outer God Realm didn't care for, and we fought other low-level powers for it. So, this Divine Mine Site is very important to our Tianyun Sect."

Jiang Ye smiled disdainfully. "Heh, so it's just an insignificant low-level power. No wonder you only know how to bully the weak. There is no need for your existence anymore!" After saying that, he raised his hand toward the people of the Tianyun Sect.

Hu Tong was alarmed and hurriedly shouted, "Young Master, please have mercy! We didn't mean it, we..."

A flash of lightning, Boom!!! With a single sound, everyone from the Tianyun Sect was instantly annihilated by the Power of Thunder released by Jiang Ye!

The people of the four allied families stood behind Jiang Ye, each feeling a chill down their spines. Fortunately, they had chosen to submit to him. He killed without the slightest hesitation; this kind of person was the most terrifying. If one didn't have the strength to absolutely kill him, the consequence would be paying with one's life.

Zhu Renzhou stepped forward and said, "Young Master Jiang, these three families are the Zhou Family, the Lin Family, and the Huang Family. Like my Zhu Family, they have chosen to submit to your command and serve you."

"Greetings, Young Master Jiang!" the people of the three families said in unison.

Jiang Ye looked at them and said, "Good! Then from now on, you are my own people. Now, follow me to take over the Divine Mine Site. In the future, we will handle the mining and distribution ourselves."

Zhu Renzhou pointed at the people of the Liu Family who had snitched, saying, "Young Master, how should we handle these people? They were the ones who sent word to the Tianyun Sect to come and disturb your seclusion."

Jiang Ye glanced at the people of the Liu Family and lightly raised his hand. "There is no need for traitors to exist!"

"Young Master, have mercy! We won't dare to do it again..."

Boom!!! The Power of Thunder erupted again, striking directly at the experts who had come from the Liu Family.

Jiang Ye said, "Arrange for people to take over their properties as well. The rest of you, follow me to the Divine Mine Site."

"Yes!"

Above the Divine Mine Site.

Jiang Ye appeared with the experts of the four families. He saw that within the Spirit Stone mine, countless people forcibly abducted from other low-level realms to mine Spirit Stones were being whipped from time to time by the Disciples of the Tianyun Sect.

"Slaughter everyone from the Tianyun Sect. Leave none alive!"

"Yes!"
