My Xiuxian script went astray

Chapter 70 Enemies coming from the sky
"Bros."

The owner of the Rock Creek Mine has summoned all the guards and is speaking:

"The front has confirmed the news that the Pingtian Sect is stationed in Walang Town and is currently undergoing repairs. They may attack at any time.

You have received salaries for so long, now is the time to test you, from today on, no one is allowed to take a vacation, no one is allowed to withdraw, once the Pingtian Sect sets out, we will attack in full force. "

The mountain master raised his hand and picked up a round black pill. The guards recognized it immediately. It was the Soul-Burning Pill, which burned one's lifespan to temporarily improve one's cultivation. Every cultivator above the Foundation Establishment stage was given one.

The mountain master choked up, "If that moment really comes and our homeland is lost, I hope that you can take it like a true warrior and obey the call of the Heavenly Sword Sect.

What does lifespan matter? What does death matter? We cultivators should be heroes in life and heroes in death. If we are afraid of even this little difficulty, where is our faith in Taoism?
By then, I will join you in defending the mine to the death. Even if I die on the battlefield, I will have no regrets in my life!"

Then, in front of everyone, he swallowed the Soul Burning Pill and his aura surged.

This made everyone's heart palpitate, and many people just realized that they were about to face a great disaster. Even the mountain master would have to suffer this?
Two hundred guards were filled with heavy hearts, but did not raise their hands to respond. One of the captains asked, "Why can't we just attack directly like Team 7 did?"

“Because we have a large defensive formation, we need to use our strengths to attack their weaknesses. The Pingtian Sect comes and goes like locusts. If we fail to defeat them, they will leave soon.” said the mountain master.

He explained the origin of the protective formation, which finally boosted morale a little, then dismissed everyone and asked them to return to their posts and stand guard closely.

"Second brother, did you really eat it?" The eldest brother of the mountain master came over and asked in a low voice.

"Nonsense, that's fake." The mountain master said without thinking, just to boost morale, how could he do such a stupid thing.

"But I still feel like it's not enough." The mountain master could see that people's hearts were still unstable and some wanted to escape.

"If it doesn't work, then retreat."

The mountain master is very decisive. They can’t do it, but doesn’t the captain of Team 7 still have to be on the front line?
That kid was able to kill his way through the Qingmu Sect, so he can probably defeat the Pingtian Sect as well. It doesn't matter if he dies in battle, we will remember him and erect a monument for him to set an example for other defenders.

But that's all later. The mountain master had another plan. When he returned to the mountain, the scene was completely different.

As many as seventy or eighty boxes, as well as various packages, clothes, and weapons, were all packed up, and several horses were pulled up.

There were more than a dozen people, old, young, and even two women, here.

"Are you finished installing it?"

When the mountain master saw these people, his tense expression immediately relaxed, "Take away everything you need to take, and remember to take the small path so as not to be seen by the guards.

If the war breaks out, I won't be able to guarantee the safety of this place, so you all should leave instead of staying."

"Hengzi, what are you going to do?" The mountain master's eldest brother looked worried, "I'll stay and help you here."

"No, let's all go."

The mountain master refused, "Don't leave any of you here, you can't help here."

"Go ahead, don't distract your second brother." An old man advised him to leave.

Seeing that everything was arranged in an orderly manner, the mountain owner finally felt relieved. These were not outsiders, but his relatives, elders, and fellow villagers who had taken care of him.

Now that he had become rich, he naturally could not abandon these people. With so many relatives and friends, many of them came to the mine to seek development.

Now that he is facing a catastrophe, he should protect his business. Regardless of success or failure, he should at least not bring harm to his family.

He had long been paying attention to the movements of the Pingtian Sect, and had begun moving various valuables, such as spirit stones, to his family a month ago, and now he had almost finished.

It can be said that the entire mine is almost empty. If he cannot stop them, he can pretend to be killed in battle, then escape and go home to make a comeback. Anyway, he has accumulated a lot of money over the years.

If he could stop them, the worst that could happen was that he would just transport the things back. The mountains were high and the roads were long, so he wasn't afraid of the Tianjian Sect finding out and letting him suffer a loss.

But at this moment, he suddenly saw a streak of light coming from the sky and landing on the open ground in the back mountain. The protective formation was not disturbed at all, as if it was just an illusion.

The light fell on the ground and turned into several large mahogany chairs, each of which had someone sitting on it.

In the middle was a great monk in red robes, with a very strong aura, and next to him were four monks in black robes, with equally deep and steady auras.

The sudden appearance of several people stunned the mountain owner, his uncle, second uncle, third uncle, nephew, and eldest brother.

The five red and black robed warriors also sat there for a long time without saying anything.

"I say, you, the Rock Creek Mine, are you so eager to die?"

Finally, it was the great monk in red who spoke first. He slowly stood up from the mahogany chair, recognizing this place, the man in front of him, and the large formation filled with murderous intent that covered the sky.

As he stood up, his expression turned cold, his aura surged, and he was filled with murderous intent.

This is Rock Creek Mine!
The one who was more shocked was actually the mountain owner. He was horrified, and his hands pressed on a wooden box were deeply embedded in it, and his fingertips turned white. "How did you break in?"

Who is this? Isn't this the leader of the West? Shouldn't he be in Warang Town at this moment? How could he have come here directly?

Moreover, even the mountain protection formation that he had spent a lot of effort to rebuild was completely unable to stop it. What kind of heaven-defying method was this?

His whole body was about to break apart. Most of his relatives and friends were here. The five strongest fighters appeared and they were trying to take his life!
"Everyone! Activate the protective formation!"

"Enemy attack!!!"

……

【Event: The Western leader of the Pingtian Sect has begun to attack.】

After a quick inventory, Chen Lang opened the system and found that the task panel had already been updated.

Chen Lang took a quick glance and it seemed that a fight had broken out over there as well.

He had gone to the main mine to scout the location before and left the coordinates. Once the teleportation symbol was activated, no one could interrupt it.

Then he cleaned up the things.

There were too many spirit stones in the three boxes to fit into the storage bag, so he moved them to a natural cave near Songhu Mine. These were opened from his treasure chest and were his personal belongings.

As for how to deal with the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, it made him think.

"This is the treasure of the Pingtian Sect. They collect souls from everywhere every day and regard them as their life. Sooner or later, someone will come looking for them." Chen Lang pondered, and then tried to erase the soul mark on it. The mark was very strong, and he sat next to it and refined it for a quarter of an hour before it was cleared.

"Now it's mine, so there's nothing to worry about."

Then he thought, as a disciple of a righteous sect, it is reasonable for him to hold the Ten Thousand Souls Banner? Just think of it as a way to save the souls of the dead. Killing alchemists in the future will bring him immeasurable merit.

Thinking of this, Chen Lang felt very kind and started to make the soul mark.

However, this time he failed.

There seemed to be a barrier on the surface of the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, preventing him from infiltrating his power into it. It seemed to have an owner, even though the mark of the Western Leader's soul had been knocked off.

After seven consecutive attempts, the barrier finally cracked. The bright Ten Thousand Souls Banner first became dim and shabby, but then suddenly vibrated with a buzzing sound, emitted a puff of smoke, and the entire flag became brand new and returned to its original appearance.

Chen Lang felt frightened. In the smoke, he seemed to see a ghost face mask looking at him.

Instantly, he felt his eyes become wet and tears stream down his face. He touched them with his hand and found that they were blood.

"What a trick, forget it, just keep it for now."

Chen Lang was frightened. He wiped the blood off, gave up on subduing the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, put it back into the box, and returned to Songhu Mine.

Fortunately, the Songhu mine is quiet.

But when he returned to the tent, he heard a noise.

"Where is the captain of Team Seven? Where is Han Tianxiao? The mountain master needs help!"

"No matter where he is, find him back!"
