Chapter 1120: One Sweep to Obliterate
The two Elders of the Feng Clan were, however, happy to watch the excitement.
Since this Mineral Vein originally belonged to the Cheng Clan, it never fell to the Feng Clan anyway; whoever has the ability to seize it can just take it.
After an hour passed, the Mineral Vein finally settled down, and the mountain stopped collapsing.
"What's going on? Why stop mining? Why not come out?" an Elder of the Feng Clan asked curiously.
"They won't be buried underneath and crushed to death, right?" the other Elder joked.
But their speculation remained speculation; they dared not go over to investigate.
At this moment, Ye Liuyun had already used the Black Tower to teleport back to the Feng Clan.
The newly mined Mineral Vein was now buried by him underground in the Space World for cultivation.
The Cheng Clan had already dispatched two Tianzun Fifth Layer strongmen, racing nonstop to the Mineral Vein. Upon arrival, they glanced at the two gloating Elders of the Feng Clan and began inspecting the Vein's condition.
But suddenly, two Tianzun Seventh Layer strongmen and several lower‑rank Tianzun Martial Cultivators appeared, pulverizing the two into mush and sparing not even the two Elders of the Feng Clan.
They then set fire, burning the bodies to ash. After erasing the traces, those Tianzun strongmen quietly vanished.
The Cheng Clan's Clan Chief was pacing in the Grand Hall at this moment.
A Mineral Vein is a family's foundation. Although the Cheng Clan has many Veins, a single incident still represents a huge loss.
The Cheng Clan hadn't experienced such an incident for a long time.
Anyone bold enough to touch the Cheng Clan's Veins and even kill Tianzun strongmen must be either the Imperial Family or the Feng Clan.
He calculated that the two Tianzun Fifth Layer strongmen should have arrived by now. Yet the Transmission Talisman remained silent.
He couldn't help reaching out, but found no response.
An ominous foreboding immediately rose in his mind.
"Bad! Whoever acted, it's probably a trap!"
He now dared not send anyone to investigate.
The two Tianzun Shadows sent out last time to kill Ye Liuyun vanished mysteriously, and now four Tianzun strongmen and a Vein have been lost.
Especially the two Tianzun Fifth Layer strongmen, which were Cheng Wenjun's most painful loss!
He felt that regardless of the opponent, a huge investment had been made, forcing the Cheng Clan to suffer severe damage.
Just as his doubts rose, Ye Liuyun received a map sent by Emperor Xia's agents, showing the locations of all Cheng Clan Mineral Veins along with detailed guard deployments.
"Ha ha, Emperor Xia seems to have planned ahead! Looks like our cooperation this time is going well!"
After planning, Ye Liuyun communicated his attack plan to Emperor Xia.
Then he used the Black Tower to teleport out of the city, rode a dragon eagle, and rushed to another Cheng Clan Mineral Vein.
After flying overnight to the spot, he released ferocious beasts to attack, then began mining the Vein. The Tianzun strongmen guarding the Vein were also taken down by Black Tortoise and Blue Ice.
Upon receiving news of the Vein being seized again, the Cheng Clan's Clan Chief was furious.
He wanted to send reinforcements but feared an ambush en route.
He couldn't possibly dispatch most of the Cheng Clan's Tianzun.
Sending a few would still carry a high chance of being cut down.
For a moment he was indecisive and could only strengthen the guard forces at each Vein.
However, after more than ten days, all the Veins remained unharmed.
The Cheng Clan's Elders had been investigating these days to determine the perpetrator.
"The attackers are all ferocious beasts; I think we should send someone to the Beast King Mountain Range to inquire!" one Elder suggested.
"Indeed! The Beast King Mountain Range certainly has the strength to oppose us. If they hold a grudge, we should resolve it immediately. If they didn't act, or someone hired them, we can verify the information," another Elder agreed.
"Alright, whatever the case, send someone to ask!" the Cheng Clan's Clan Chief, still clueless, could only investigate piece by piece.
However, the people they sent were returned with their dantian shattered.
The Beast King Mountain Range had recently been cleared of many ferocious beasts, and the Beast King's anger had not yet subsided.
At this moment, the Cheng Clan blamed the Beast King for the Vein robbery.
Ferocious beasts are hot‑tempered; they act at the slightest disagreement.
They even had the maimed person return to deliver a message: no Cheng Clan member may set foot in the Beast King Mountain Range again.
The Beast King Mountain Range is the main source of ferocious beasts for the Cheng Clan's arena.
Although they could later capture beasts covertly, it would be far less effective than the previous bold raids.
Yet the Cheng Clan's Clan Chief no longer doubted the Beast King Mountain Range.
Because he understood the Beast King's temperament; if it involved the Beast King Mountain Range, the Beast King would never lose his temper.
He now thought the Imperial Family was the biggest suspect.
But the Vein robbers were ferocious beasts, making it impossible to identify any person.
At this moment, Ye Liuyun was busy following Emperor Xia's map, scouting each location and recording coordinates.
He dared not raid each Vein one by one.
If blocked by Cheng Clan experts, the result would be disastrous.
Thus, he planned to record the positions first, then in one night wipe out all of the Cheng Clan's Mineral Veins.
Over a month later, Ye Liuyun returned to the Feng Clan, walked around a bit, and made his presence known.
That night, he sent a Transmission Voice to Emperor Xia again, listing the targets he intended to attack.
"You intend to act on all these targets tonight?" Emperor Xia found it unbelievable.
However, he thought Ye Liuyun might possess the ability to control ferocious beasts, allowing attacks even in his absence.
"Yes!" Ye Liuyun replied confidently.
"Fine, you handle your part; I'll arrange the rest!" Emperor Xia did not disclose his plan to Ye Liuyun.
Ye Liuyun did not delay, teleporting to a Mineral Vein and beginning the assault.
After one month, the guards of Cheng Clan's Mineral Vein had been tense for a month, seeing no movement, and thus returned to their original strength.
Ye Liuyun happened to act at that moment, and the whole process went very smoothly.
After digging up a Mineral Vein, Ye Liuyun did not pause, but rushed to the next Mineral Vein.
Relying on the advantage of the Teleport Tower, his attacks had no pattern—east one, west one, far one, near one—leaving the Cheng Clan bewildered.
In one night, Ye Liuyun dug up four Mineral Veins of the Cheng Clan.
Now the entire Cheng Clan was shaken!
But their Clan Chief did not dare send anyone out.
Everyone knew that someone was now making a major move against the Cheng Clan.
The Cheng Clan had already lost six Mineral Veins in succession.
If it were just one Mineral Vein, the impact on the Cheng Clan would be minor, but six Mineral Veins is already an enormous loss!
Moreover, this force is definitely not insignificant; to take down four Mineral Veins in different directions of the Cheng Clan in one night, the deployed strength is at least over ten Heavenly Venerate experts.
However, during this period the Cheng Clan also closely monitored the movements of the Imperial Family and the Feng Clan, but found nothing unusual.
