Chapter 155 Foreign Enemy Attack
Then, Xia Yuhui opened the letter.
As he slowly finished reading the letter, his expression suddenly changed, his surprise evident.
The letter was rich and varied in content. It not only informed Xia Guangyan that he could not return to his clan with him, but also instructed him to bring back the Foundation Building Pill that he had given to his family.
Immediately afterwards, a shocking piece of news exploded in Xia Yuhui's ears like a thunderbolt—the last Foundation Establishment cultivator of the Akagi family had not actually died.
Xia Yuhui was filled with suspicion. How could a mere mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator survive for so long amidst the surging waves of the beast tide?
He vaguely remembered that the man seemed to have come to Qingshui County with Xia Lingshan.
However, the old patriarch of the Xia family has now perished, and the one from the Cai family who was in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage also did not escape death. Only this person from the Chimu family survived.
Upon learning of this, a chilling killing intent flashed in Xia Yuhui's eyes.
With a wave of his hand, Qingfeng and Mingyue appeared before him like two ghosts. Then, he transmitted an important message to the two ghosts.
"You two devils, go quickly and keep a close eye on this man. If he dares to step out of the market, be sure to report to me!"
After receiving their orders, Qingfeng and Mingyue departed swiftly like two gusts of wind.
After the two ghosts left, Xia Yuhui swallowed three healing pills without hesitation. He had specially purchased these three pills to treat injuries to his meridians.
Two months ago, he tried to treat his injuries, but due to the short time available, it was like trying to put out a fire with a drop of water, and he was not able to fully recover.
Therefore, he must heal his wounds now, otherwise, it will inevitably leave endless troubles in the future.
On the mines of Jinling County, within the Xia family's territory.
The Xia family seized this mineral vein from the Cai family through trickery and force.
It is exactly the same as another mine of the Xia family, also a miniature mine, and the phosphorus ore produced by the mine is a precious refining material, which can bring the Xia family a rich income of more than three thousand spirit stones every year.
Because of their fear of retaliation against the Cai family, the defenses here were impregnable, with as many as five late-stage Qi Refining cultivators stationed here.
Moreover, there is a second-order formation guarding it like an impregnable fortress. Unless a Foundation Establishment cultivator personally arrives, this formation cannot be shaken in the slightest.
Now that the Cai family has lost a Foundation Establishment cultivator, even if they wanted to take a desperate, all-or-nothing approach, they would be powerless to do so.
The person in charge of guarding this miniature mine is Xia Guang'en, a member of the Guang generation.
At this moment, Xia Guang'en was leading the Xia family cultivators on patrols, and from time to time he would observe the quantity and quality of the Phosphorus Flame Ore with the sharpness of a hawk.
"Sigh, we're still short-handed. Once the family members arrive in a few days, we'll go to the Cai family's territory and capture some more mortals," Xia Guangyan muttered with slight dissatisfaction.
Although this mine is no different from the Xia family's miniature mine, the output here is quite abundant because the mining time is still short. Therefore, the number of mortals responsible for mining here is slightly insufficient.
There are more than 2000 ordinary people here, all of whom were swept over by the Xia family during their conquests over the past few years like locusts. It can be said that there is not a single ordinary person from the Xia family among them. The ordinary people from the Xia family are currently in various villages of the Xia family, like hens brooding over their nests, strengthening their bodies.
"Fifteenth Master, how about I take a few men to capture them? They're just a few mortals, right? It'll be a piece of cake!" Xia Liangshou said eagerly from the side.
"You ignorant brat, shut up! What do you know?" Xia Guangjian was furious and kicked him.
Xia Liangshou was severely beaten by his own grandfather, but he didn't dare to utter a sound. He could only stand silently to the side like a defeated rooster, but his face was still full of resentment.
Upon seeing this, Xia Guang'en couldn't help but raise his hand, as if to strike.
Xia Liangshou then took several steps back like a startled rabbit, his face plastered with a fawning smile.
"You brat, I've consumed more pills than you've eaten spirit rice, and you still dare to talk back? Do you think the Cai family members are all as brainless as you?" Xia Guang'en rebuked him sternly when he saw that his 16th brother had taught him a lesson and he still dared to disobey.
"Yes, how could I have a grandson like you? Your talent is alright, but your brain is all crooked. If you weren't my only grandson with spiritual roots, I would have thrown you out like trash long ago. Hurry up and apologize to your 15th grandfather."
"Grandpa, 15 Grandpa, your grandson knows he was wrong."
Xia Liangshou had no choice but to quickly admit his mistake, but in his heart he still thought the same as before. He always felt that the Cai family was now weak and powerless, and should be bullied like a hungry tiger pouncing on its prey.
Seeing that Xia Liangshou seemed to have genuinely admitted his mistake, the expressions on their faces improved somewhat, as if the dark clouds had dissipated.
"Alright, go do what you need to do, and don't annoy me." Xia Guangjian looked at his grandson, the only one with spiritual roots, and became more and more annoyed. He then sent him away without any mercy.
At the same time, he secretly lamented the injustice of heaven, which had given him five spiritual roots and such a brilliant mind. If he had three spiritual roots, he would probably have already reached the Great Perfection of the Ninth Level of Qi Refining.
After being reprimanded, Xia Liangshou quickly distanced himself from the two old men like a frightened bird. Then, he took out a leather whip from his storage bag and began to scold the lazy Cai family mortals like an angry Vajra.
"You lowly slaves, how dare you slack off! I'll beat you to death..."
"Clap clap clap!"
These few lashes were like raging waves, frightening the lazy Cai family mortals into immediately starting to work frantically.
Seeing this, the other Cai family cultivators also fell silent. The enmity between the Cai family and the Xia family was like an irreconcilable feud, so such actions were understandable.
These ordinary people from the Cai family, if they fall into their hands, will probably toil like cattle and horses for the rest of their lives, never to rise again.
However, at that moment, outside the formation was a dark mass, and hundreds of ferocious demons appeared in the sky, baring their fangs and claws as they relentlessly approached the formation.
When the Xia family cultivators patrolling outside the formation saw it, they immediately cast a spell into the sky as if facing a formidable enemy. The Xia family cultivators inside the formation, sensing the spell from afar, immediately became alert like startled birds.
"Quickly, drive those mortals into the mine. Cultivators at the late stage of Qi Refining or above, come with me."
Soon, under Xia Guang'en's leadership, four late-stage Qi Refining cultivators quickly surrounded them. Among these people, apart from Xia Guang'en and Xia Guangjian, who were Xia family cultivators, the others were all outsiders.
