Stepping out of the cave, time is pressing, must rush to the Zi Jin mine vein before Tian Jia and Wan Jias secretly dispatched teams.

  The mine was occupied by others too late, or triggered a crustal collapse, both of which were fatal blows to the Xus.

  Deploying the Seven Star Steps, electric flashes and shooting stars, a days journey was compressed to just over half a day. Before nightfall, they finally appeared at the Zijin Mine Camp.

  Xus family stationed 100 guards here, two top-notch masters of the Pre-Heavenly realm, plus Xus family status, have been living in peace for years.

  The camp is very large, with several hundred miners in addition to the guards, who excavate ore day and night and transport it from this place. Every three days, the Xu familys caravan comes in, year after year without change.

  The camp smoke is faint, the sky gradually darkens, and hundreds of miners come out from the underground mine one after another, dragging their tired bodies back to the camp to rest.

  The Xu family treats the miners with great generosity, and many people in Canglang City are willing to work in the Xu familys mine to get high pay, and there is basically no shortage of workers.

  The camp was built on the mountain, with three sides surrounded by mountains and only one entrance. A wooden fence was built, and there was a high watchtower. When someone came, they could be seen at the first time, easy to defend and difficult to attack.

  The entrance of the mine is guarded by ten guards on the west side of the camp, patrolling day and night to prevent theft, with strict discipline.

  Liu Wuxie stood outside the fence, looking at the peaceful mining camp, and let out a sigh of relief. The elite troops sent by the two families should not have arrived yet.

  A straight road leads deep into the mine, leaving two deep ruts from cart wheels.

  At this time!

  On the straight road, a thin figure walked alone, wearing a green long gown, with a handsome appearance, two sword-like eyebrows slightly raised, like a sharp sword pointing to the sky.

  Neither slow nor hurried, after a cup of tea, standing in front of the main gate of Xujia Camp.

  "Stop right there! This is a restricted area, not open to outsiders. Please leave immediately."

  A cold shout came from above the sentry post, and several guards emerged from the darkness, holding longbows and aiming at Liu Wuxie. They took a step forward, killing without pardon.

  "Even Ganshuwei cant recognize me!"

  Liu Wuxie stopped in his tracks, looking up at the watchtower above. The Xu family guards changed shifts every three months, and after their shift was over, they would return to Canglang City, alternating back and forth.

  These guards on duty were not unfamiliar, and could be recognized at a glance.

  "Brother-in-law? What is he doing here?"

  Gan Shuaiwei showed a hint of confusion. They had been transferred to this place two months ago, and they still didnt know what had happened in Canglang City. In their minds, Liu Wuxie was still the useless person he was two months prior.

  "This trash actually ran all the way to the mine vein, how did he get here."

  The guards holding longbows put down their bows and arrows, making a disdainful sound. The voice was not loud, but it reached Liu Wuxies ears, who didnt pay attention, with a faint smile at the corner of his mouth.

  "I reckon youre bored with Canglang City and came out to taste the fresh air, thinking that Lurking Mountain Range is open to anyone. I suppose its because of your familys guards escorting you here."

  No one believed that Liu Wuxie had traveled alone through the Luoshan Mountains and arrived here, with his entourage of guards sent to escort him turning back after delivering him.

  "What is this rubbish doing here? Is it the masters intention to let him get familiar with the mine?"

  Everyones expression, Liu Wuxie saw it in his eyes, but he didnt make a move. His temperament had long been tempered and how could he be enraged by just a few words? Besides, there was no need to do so, and it wasnt worth arguing with a group of guards.

  The gate slowly opened, and under the gaze of many puzzled and mocking smiles, Liu Wuxie walked into the camp.

  Learning of Liu Wuxies arrival, the two Pre-Heavenly strongmen guarding this place appeared one after another.

  "Hello, Uncle Hu! Second Uncle!"

  Hu Zeishi was over thirty years old, with a natural air of threefold dignity, and was called Second Uncle by the middle-aged man. He had a resolute face, similar to Xu Yilins appearance in seven parts, and was actually Xu Yilins younger brother Xu Yishan, Xu Lingsnows second uncle, whom Liu Wuxie had always addressed as Second Uncle since childhood.

  After marrying Xu Lingxue, I should change my mouth to call two fathers-in-law, but Ive gotten used to it and dont feel like changing.

  Xu Yishans face was not pleasant, and he could be said to have hated Liu Wuxie. He had often advised his elder brother to cancel this marriage, but his elder brother insisted on going through with it, and in the end, Liu Wuxie still married Xu Lingxue.

  On the wedding day, Xu Yishan did not return to Canglang City and was very dissatisfied with this marriage.

  On this side of the mine, most of it was managed by Xu Yishan, and Xu Yilin rarely participated. He is a pre-heavenly peak, guarding this place, which is also suitable.

  Xu Yishan was busy managing the mine and had not married, long treating Xu Lingshuang as his own daughter. The thought of watching her marry a good-for-nothing was unbearable.

  "What are you doing here!"

  Hu Ze didnt say a word. After all, he was an outsider and still had to show some respect to Liu Wu Xie. Xu Yi Shan asked coldly.

  "Ive received news that the Tian and Wan families have dispatched their elite troops, intending to take over our Xu family mine. Im here to inform everyone, be on high alert."

  Liu Wuxie didnt get angry, slightly bowed and said the information he knew. For now, its still unclear how many people the other side has sent, but being prepared can only be beneficial, not harmful.

  "Is this news something your elder brother told you, or did you just make it up?"

  Xu Yishan did not believe it, and the flying letter from his elder brother mentioned that the transport team was ambushed, but did not mention that the two families wanted to take action against the mine. He thought that Liu Wuxie was talking nonsense.

  "My father-in-law doesnt know about this yet, theres no time to inform him, Ill come over and notify everyone myself first."

  Song Tianhao told him that the Tian and Wan families were unfavorable to the mine, but the news had not been confirmed after all. Liu Wuxie didnt dare to make random guesses either. He rushed over in a hurry only after getting accurate information from Tian Lies mouth.

  "Dont be ridiculous with your one-sided words, go back where you came from, this isnt a place for you."

  Xu Yishan snorted in disdain, his face full of contempt for this good-for-nothing. Not a shred of goodwill towards him, from young to old, hes caused so much trouble, and its always big brother who cleans up after him, yet he still has the nerve to stay in the Xu household.

  "Second uncle, I respect you as a senior, giving the due respect to a junior. The news is absolutely true, whether you believe it or not, you can decide for yourselves."

  Liu Wuxie flung his sleeve robe, too lazy to continue the nonsense with them, and walked towards the depths of the camp. No one stopped him. The sky had already darkened, and he went alone to the Luori Mountains, which was extremely dangerous. He could only wait for three days until the cargo transport team arrived, bringing him back to Canglang City together.

  The guards on the road cast disdainful glances and various mocking voices, but Liu Wuxie ignored them, walking around the campsite in a circle, already at nightfall.

  "Brother-in-law, Ive already arranged a room for you, get some rest early."

  Very reluctantly, a place for Liu Wuxie to stay was arranged. A small room was opened separately, with an area of only 7 or 8 square meters. The mining camp seemed very large, but the living environment was harsh. Ordinary miners lived ten people in one room.

  "Thank you!"

  The whole camp environment is etched in mind, back to the house, start tidying up.

  "Surrounded by three sides of mountains and built on the mountain, if a guardian mountain array is set up, even if a master comes, it will be impossible to break into the array. What kind of array should be set up?"

  Liu Wuxie muttered to himself, setting up the formation would take several days, and it was already too late to start now. Moreover, some materials were still lacking and needed to be purchased from Canglang City. It would take a day for the message to reach his father-in-law via carrier pigeon, and then more time would be needed for transportation.

  The array is too powerful and requires terrifying resources, and the materials may not be available.

  The array method is too weak and has no effect at all. The array method must be powerful, save resources, have both defensive and offensive capabilities, its really hard to achieve this for him.

  Search through memories, find several powerful formations, combine them, and create new formations, which takes some time.

  "Alright, its settled then. The name of this formation shall be the Turbulent Earth Origin Array! It combines the essence of both the Surging Waves and the Earth Shattering formations, and doesnt require a lot of resources. With the help of the natural geography of this place, setting it up shouldnt be too difficult."

  After spending more than a few hours, a brand new formation was mixed up, taking into account the terrain of the surrounding area. This formation is the most suitable.

  As night deepened, a large number of guards patrolled the camp, with sentries stationed openly and secretly everywhere.

  "I heard that on the night of his wedding, Waste Materials wife kicked him out and he went to a brothel, where he got wildly aroused and caused the whole building to collapse, almost getting crushed to death."

  Three patrolling guards happened to be walking not far from the gate of Liu Wuxie, chatting as they walked, and their piercing mocking voices came in.

  "This piece of trash has a big life, and it still hasnt died."

  The tone was sarcastic, and Liu Wuxie appeared so unbearable in the eyes of Xus family guards.

  "What a beautiful young lady, heaven must have been blind to let her be ruined by this trash. With your talent, entering the Imperial Academy would mean a meteoric rise, and the Xu familys status would skyrocket as well. We guards will also have a great opportunity to make a name for ourselves."

  The sound grew fainter and fainter as it passed in front of the Liu Wuxian Gate, and then the night returned to calm.

  A large team of people quietly approached from a distance and stopped about 100 meters outside the mining camp.

  "Head, this is where Xus mine vein is located, there is only one entrance, how can we attack and get in."

  Over a hundred people, and yet theres still the aura of Washing Spirit Realm, the Xu family mine is in danger.

  Lying in the grass, Xus patrolling guards found that no one was on this side. Tonight is another moonless night, and occasionally some light would come out of the camp.

  Deep in the camp, a large number of snores came, those miners had been busy for a day and went to bed early after eating.

  "Go and get the leaders of the Tian and Wan families, well discuss a countermeasure."

  The leader gave an order, and a man in black quickly walked back and forth, soon leading two old men, the elders of the Tian and Wan families, who were at the peak of their innate realm. This time, they had invested heavily to take down the Xu familys mine.

  "Captain Wolf Fang, youre looking for us?"

  Tian Qi Hong asked in a low voice, if outsiders were present and heard the two words "wolfs fang", they would definitely be scared to wet their pants.

  Canglang City has another force besides the four major families, that is, the Langya Mercenary Group. They do all kinds of business, killing and arson, with no limits.

  As long as you are willing to pay in gold coins, they will complete things that cannot be seen for you.

  Whats even more frightening is Lang Ya, who has been living with a pack of wild wolves since he was young, drinking wolf milk and growing up to be ferocious and cruel, enjoying the taste of human blood. In general, they dont want to provoke the four major families, so everyone minds their own business.

  Most of the time, they shuttle through the Luoshan Mountains, hunting and killing monsters to sell, earning gold coins, or helping to transport merchant teams to get a large reward.

  At its peak, the mercenary group expanded to three hundred people, and Langya himself reached the fifth stage of the Washing Soul Realm.
