Shadow Pavilion is here, ore conflict

Zhou Yuan was directly driven out by a furious Gao Jianjun, which made him feel secretly regretful.

He had originally wanted to ask Gao Jianjun about Gao Fei's background, but now it seemed impossible to ask today!

After Zhou Yuan left the Grand Elder's place, he didn't tarry in the slightest, directly leaving the Gao Family's encampment and heading to the Low-Grade Spirit Stone mining site two hundred miles away!

As soon as Zhou Yuan left with Jie Yunzi and Zhe Qinghe, a figure ran towards Eldest Young Master Gao Yan's room!

At this moment, Gao Yan's face was pale, and he was sitting cross-legged, cultivating.

Just then, Gao Yan suddenly opened his eyes, and a hint of a flush appeared in them.

Then, he opened his mouth, and a mouthful of fresh blood gushed out!

“Gao Fei, I’m going to tear you to pieces!”

A ferocious expression appeared on Gao Yan's face, but then he felt the intense pain from the meridians throughout his body, causing his brows to furrow tightly again!

Just then, a figure rushed in! Upon seeing Gao Yan, he immediately knelt on one knee, cupped his fists, and reported!

“Eldest Young Master, Third Master has left with his men! Your subordinate overheard Third Master talking with his attendant about going to the Low-Grade Spirit Stone mining site to resolve the conflict with the Nine Stars Sect!”

Gao Yan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes growing even colder, filled with killing intent.

“Gao Guo, you did very well!”

The messenger's face lit up with joy upon hearing Gao Yan's words, and seeing that Gao Yan had no further instructions, he quickly retreated.

Just after Gao Yan left, a dark figure appeared out of thin air in the room, which had previously only contained Gao Yan.

This Black-Clothed Man was dressed entirely in black, with only his eyes exposed, but the aura subtly emanating from him carried immense pressure.

“Gao Yan, have you thought it over? As long as you agree to join my Shadow Pavilion, my Shadow Pavilion will not only help you gain control of the Gao Family but also help you eliminate this major hidden danger, how about it?”

The Black-Clothed Man was actually a woman, but her voice was extremely cold!

Gao Yan raised his crimson eyes, then calmly said, “If you can truly help me gain control of the Gao Family and kill Gao Fei, I agree to your proposal!”

The black-clothed woman showed no surprise at Gao Yan's answer, but rather nodded calmly and said, “It's good that you agree!”

“Killing Gao Fei first will be our Shadow Pavilion's welcoming gift to you!”

“But I must also warn you, our Shadow Pavilion is spread across all domains. If you dare to go back on your word, you will surely die, and all of your Gao Family members will also surely die!”

After the black-clothed woman finished speaking, her body flickered, and like a ghost, she instantly vanished without a trace!

Gao Yan looked at the direction where the black-clothed woman disappeared, his face constantly changing between light and shadow, but then an expression of hatred appeared on his face.

“Gao Fei, you bastard, do you really think the Ancestor can protect you?”

Zhou Yuan didn't know that he had changed his identity, and people from the Shadow Pavilion had come knocking again; one could only say that his relationship with the Shadow Pavilion was quite deep!

The ore mining site was about five hundred miles from the Zhou Family's encampment, originally a natural cave, but now it was completely unrecognizable.

Tens of thousands of miners were frantically excavating Low-Grade Spirit Stone, some as large as chicken eggs, others about the size of a thumb.

This quality was very poor, considered the lowest grade of Low-Grade Spirit Stone.

However, this was the outermost layer of the Low-Grade Spirit Stone vein, so this quality was normal.

Furthermore, both the Gao Family and the Nine Stars Sect were Grade Six cultivation forces, so it was naturally impossible for them to obtain the best Low-Grade Spirit Stone mining sites.

At this moment, the Low-Grade Spirit Stone vein was not peaceful; the person in charge of the Gao Family here was an outer elder, Su Hua, who was at the Nascent Soul Realm Peak!

The person in charge of the Nine Stars Sect here was a Huashen Realm early-stage cultivator named Li Kuo!

The difference in cultivation made Su Hua constrained everywhere, and he could only call for help from the Grand Elder's side.

But now, seven or eight days had passed, and no one had come, making Su Hua very anxious.

“Li Kuo, don't go too far. This Low-Grade Spirit Stone mining site is shared by our two families.”

“Now that you have exceeded the mining time, you should naturally withdraw and let our Gao Family mine!”

Su Hua was very angry; the other party had already mined for a full day, and the next day should have been their Gao Family's turn to mine.

However, the people of the Nine Stars Sect held the entrance to the mining area, and their mining personnel did not come out, so how could Su Hua not be angry?

Due to the limited space inside, if both families entered, conflicts would be constant, and if not handled well, the Low-Grade Spirit Stone vein could directly collapse.

The two families negotiated to mine one day each, partly to let the miners rest and partly to reduce conflicts.

But recently, the Nine Stars Sect had become increasingly excessive, mining an extra hour each time, which meant they were occupying the Gao Family's mining time!

Today was the most excessive; the other party had already exceeded by an hour, but still showed no sign of coming out, almost making Su Hua's nose crooked with anger.

Li Kuo sat cross-legged at the entrance of the Low-Grade Spirit Stone vein, his expression cold.

He had already received notification from the sect to fully suppress the Gao Family and strive for as much benefit as possible for the sect.

The reason was that the Nine Stars Sect had performed meritorious service on the front lines, killing a group of people from the Thousand Needle Domain, which brought the Nine Stars Sect great prominence.

“Su Hua, wait a little longer, they'll be out soon!”

Li Kuo spoke calmly, then closed his eyes, his expression indifferent.

Su Hua's face turned pale with anger; he had heard this excuse dozens of times, and it was always like this, the other party just dragged it out, dragging it on and on!

“Li Kuo, do you really think my Gao Family is easy to bully?”

After Su Hua finished speaking, the aura on his body surged, and a Nascent Soul Realm Peak pressure emanated from him.

The Gao Family members behind Su Hua were the same, each erupting with their powerful aura, their faces full of anger!

“What, do you want to start a war?”

Li Kuo stood up, and a Huashen Realm early-stage pressure emanated, directly destroying the aura of Su Hua and the others!

At the same time, it formed a massive pressure that acted upon Su Hua and the others, making each of them feel as if they were carrying a mountain on their backs.

“Bang bang…”

Many Gao Family members, despite their best efforts to control their bodies, still couldn't withstand the pressure and directly knelt down, their faces full of humiliation!

Su Hua gritted his teeth, his body trembling constantly, and his feet gradually sank into the ground.

In just a moment, Su Hua's feet, from the knees down, were completely submerged underground.

Sweat dripped continuously from Su Hua's forehead, and he stared intently at Li Kuo, unable to understand why the other party dared to be so excessive!

Did they really not fear a war between the Gao Family and the Nine Stars Sect?

Li Kuo coldly watched Su Hua, then a hint of mockery appeared on his face.

“The Gao Family is nothing more than this! We rarely see your figures on the battlefield, but you're quick to snatch resources, disgracing yourselves!”

Upon hearing Li Kuo's words, Su Hua's heart was filled with extreme anger, but he couldn't speak at this moment. Otherwise, if the breath in his chest were to escape, he would have to kneel!

Just then, a voice came!

“How the Gao Family is, is not for a mere Huashen Realm like you to comment on!”
