Chen Baima then sheathed the God-Slaying Thorn and ran swiftly towards the Lingshan Mine.

Chapter 370: The End (3)

Qin Wu and the others rushed directly into the mine tunnels of Ling Mountain.

Some soldiers from Nanyue City hadn't even had time to escape when the people of Shuguang City swarmed in and killed them on the spot.

Qin Wu shouted, "Follow me! I know where they store their minerals!"

He worried that the remnants of the Nanyue City army in Lingshan would act desperately and destroy the resources, which would be a greater loss than gain.

The group followed Qin Wu and charged into the depths of the mine. Just as they arrived at the place where he had stolen the alloy last time, they saw that several soldiers from Nanyue City had destroyed all the spiritual herbs.

Enraged at the sight, the crowd charged forward and killed the "Three-Five-Three" group of soldiers in just a few moves.

Looking at the destroyed spiritual herbs and some of the spirit stones, Qin Wu was heartbroken. Fortunately, the metal ores couldn't be destroyed, otherwise it would have been a huge loss.

Chen Baima rushed over at this moment. When he saw the mountain of resources piled up in the mine, he immediately beamed with joy. He took out the Qiankun bag in his arms and with a wave of his hand, he put all the ore into it.

Qin Wu's eyelids twitched. Chen Baima's Qiankun bag seemed to be of a higher grade than his own storage ring. He couldn't possibly fit so many things in one go.

Chen Baima smiled smugly, put the bag back into his pocket, and said, "We only have eight hours. Quickly dig out all the ore, as much as we can. Once the time is up, we'll retreat immediately. I'll go check other places. A mine this big can't possibly have only one storage room."

Qin Wu felt that Chen Baima's analysis made sense. He was so dazzled by the piles of ore that he didn't think too much about it. So he followed Chen Baima and rushed out quickly. Time was of the essence, and they dared not waste a moment.

In an instant, all three hundred-plus Qi cultivators transformed into miners, filling the entire Lingshan mine with clanging and clattering sounds.

While Qin Wu and his group were ransacking the Ling Mountain, Nan Yue City had already received the news.

Nanyue City, City Lord's Mansion.

"Snapped!"

The city lord of Nanyue City shattered the chair beneath him with a single palm strike, unleashing the aura of a top-grade grandmaster. The crowd below immediately fell silent, kneeling in a dense mass on the ground.

"Can anyone tell me why my Ling Mountain has been breached when the people of Dawn City were clearly gathering outside the city?"

"Zhang Keqiang, as the highest-ranking general of the Lingshan garrison, you actually retreated without a fight!"

Zhang Keqiang had unspeakable bitterness in his heart. Although he was the commander-in-chief of the Lingshan garrison, the enemy was all of the Gang Jin level, and how could his ordinary soldiers resist them?

At this moment, he knelt to one side with his head bowed, his face deathly pale, cold sweat pouring down his face, and he said in a trembling voice:

"Reporting to the city lord, more than three hundred Gang Jin experts suddenly rushed out from Dawn City. Our army was no match for them. Moreover, they had a very powerful ballista. With one shot, Commander Wu Gui, who was at the peak of Gang Jin, and countless soldiers were all killed. In just half an hour, our army was routed."

The Lord of Nanyue City now harbors deep hatred for Shuguang City. Previously, Qin Wu had caused a great disturbance in Shuguang City, resulting in the theft of the Life Elixir and the destruction of almost all the spirit mines in the outer city, which would not be able to recover for decades.

Now they have also breached another vital artery of Nanyue City—Lingshan. It should be noted that most of Nanyue City's metal mineral resources come from Lingshan.

The Lord of Nanyue City looked at Zhang Keqiang, who was trembling all over, and a murderous glint flashed in his eyes: "It's one thing that the people of Shuguang City are powerful, but it's another thing that you deserted in the face of battle. Your dereliction of duty caused the deaths of tens of thousands of my soldiers. You deserve to die!"

"Zhang Keqiang, as the commander-in-chief of the Lingshan garrison, deserted his post and is to be executed!"

Zhang Keqiang's face turned ashen, and he cried out pitifully, "Please, Lord City Lord, spare my life! I am willing to atone for my crimes by performing meritorious service..."

Before he could finish speaking, two guards dragged him out and beheaded him.

A powerful expert at the peak of the Gang Jin realm stepped forward: "My lord, I am willing to lead 300,000 troops as the vanguard and make the people of Dawn City pay a heavy price."

The Lord of Nanyue's expression softened slightly, and then he said loudly, "Send down the order to immediately deploy troops to Dawn City!"

The white-robed master then stepped forward and said, “City Lord, I think this move is somewhat inappropriate. Such a hasty deployment of troops is unprepared, while Dawn City is already on high alert. The enemy is full of energy, while our army is exhausted. This disparity is very disadvantageous to our Southern Moon City. Furthermore, Dawn City now has a secret weapon, which we must guard against.”

The Lord of Nanyue City frowned, pondered for a moment, and then laughed angrily, "According to you, am I supposed to swallow my pride and bear it?"

The white-robed grandmaster shook his head, cupped his hands to the city lord, and said, "Please calm down, city lord. We might as well join forces with Tu Bang City and send troops to attack from both sides. We will surely make Dawn City turn to ashes."

At this moment, everyone below the main hall stood up and said in unison, "We urge the city lord to reconsider his actions."

The white-robed master pressed his advantage, saying, "I am willing to go to Tubo City as a special envoy to discuss the matter of sending troops with them."

The Lord of Nanyue City had been blinded by anger, but he had calmed down a bit. He felt that what the others said made some sense, so he said, "Then let's do it your way, and be quick about it."

"Lingshan must be taken back within two days!" With that, he flicked his sleeve and turned to leave.

Chapter 371: A Triumphant Return (4)

Meanwhile, Qin Wu and his group had almost finished mining in Ling Mountain.

What they didn't expect was that there was a huge mineral vein at the bottom of this sacred mountain. They had worked so hard for so long, but they had only dug out the tip of the iceberg.

By this time, Chen Baima's Qiankun bag was already full of various minerals, and everyone was carrying a large bag filled with spirit stones and metal ores. Qin Wu alone had harvested nearly a ton of S-grade alloy. He didn't want the A-grade and B-grade ones, not because he didn't want them, but because his ring was already full.

His ring was mostly filled with spirit stones. Alloys were mostly used to make weapons, but spirit stones were different. He had some selfish reasons for this, as the disciples of Xingyi Sect were in dire need of spirit stones at that time.

Not only that, he also discovered a small medicinal garden in a mountain valley at the foot of Ling Mountain, where many rare medicinal herbs were planted, and Qin Wu unceremoniously took them all.

The time had come, and the more than 300 people all left in a flash. They had to return to Dawn City, and if they were not mistaken, the Gang Jin experts from Nan Yue City should already be on their way.

Chen Baima felt a surge of superiority as he looked at everyone carrying large and small bags. But when his gaze fell on Qin Wu, he was momentarily stunned, because Qin Wu was only holding a small bag, inside which were a few spiritual herbs.

He ran to Qin Wu's side, patted Qin Wu's shoulder, and said in confusion, "Why did you only take a few spirit herbs? Although all the collected ores have to be returned to the city, you can keep some for yourself. Look at them, they're all afraid of carrying too little."

Qin Wu originally didn't even want to take the small bag in his hand, but seeing that everyone else was carrying big bags and small bags, and only Chen Baima had a Qiankun bag, so he was empty-handed, he didn't want to stand out too much, so he took a small bag to cover it up. He didn't expect that Chen Baima would still notice him.

"If you feel sorry for me, why don't you share some of what's in your bag with me? After all, the Grandmasters don't know how much you've packed."

When Chen Baima heard that this fellow had actually set his sights on him, his lips twitched twice. Then he thought for a moment and said, "Did you hide the things and come back to get them when things calm down?"

"Do I look like that kind of person? Look at the situation now, the Earth is on the verge of destruction, how could I do such a thing for my own selfish reasons?"

Looking at Qin Wu's righteous and awe-inspiring appearance, Chen Baima became even more certain of his guess, and said decisively, "You don't seem like it, but I'm sure you are that kind of person."

The group of over three hundred people encountered no obstacles along the way and returned to Dawn City smoothly. It was already the morning of the second day.

On the first day, they rushed all the way, then fought a battle with the army of Nanyue City, and finally mined ore. They were racing against time and hardly rested. Even though they were strong warriors, they were exhausted.

At this moment, the soldiers on Dawn City saw a group of people flying over from afar. The people on the city tensed up immediately. Those who could fly were all of the Gang Jin level. Suddenly, someone exclaimed.

"That looks like Wei Yitian, Grandmaster Wei!"

"What! What's that group of Qi cultivators behind us?"

"I didn't know that Dawn City had so much internal energy?"

"..."

Just then, Lu Acai flew over from the city. Looking at the approaching procession, a rare hint of excitement flickered in his eyes. He took a deep breath and roared with full force:

"Welcome back, heroes!"

The sound was so loud that it traveled tens of thousands of miles away. Dawn City was stunned. What was going on?

Not many people knew about Qin Wu's operation this time. Even the Kryptonians came very secretly. Yesterday, the army only conducted drills outside the city and did not fight.

Therefore, Lu Acai's loud shout left many people puzzled.

At this moment, Wei Yitian had already arrived outside the city. Facing Lu Acai, he said loudly, "Wei Yitian led 383 Gang Jin warriors to break through the 200,000-strong Lingshan garrison in Nanyue City, killing 120,000 enemies, including 91 Gang Jin warriors, and countless Hua Jin and Nei Jin warriors. We also seized 1,000 tons of various spirit stones, 300 tons of S-grade alloys, and countless A and B-grade alloys and spirit herbs. I have successfully completed the mission without failing you."

The enormous sound echoed throughout Dawn City, leaving countless people gaping in astonishment.

"Holy crap, what's going on? Has Ruoshui City gone to war with Nanyue City?"

"I don't know. Who is Wei Yitian?"

"You don't even know Master Wei? You must be new here."

"That's not the point. Haven't you heard? More than 300 people broke through a garrison of 200,000 and killed 91 people at the Gang Jin level. Holy crap, how many Gang Jin do we in Dawn City have? We also have thousands of tons of spirit stones and 300 tons of S-grade alloy."

"Oh my God……"

At this moment, the soldiers standing on the city wall were dumbfounded. With a "clang", one soldier's weapon fell to the ground, and everyone was immediately awakened.

Everyone stared at Wei Yitian with excited expressions. They slammed their weapons against his armor, creating a resounding clang that echoed throughout the city. Then, the soldiers shouted:

"Welcome back, heroes!"

"Welcome back, heroes!"

"..."

Looking at the soldiers who were shouting so loudly that their faces were red and their necks were thick, Lu Acai smiled with satisfaction.

He thought to himself, "With this batch of alloy, the number of God-Slaying Thorns will greatly increase, and South Moon City will basically be in my grasp."

Chapter 372: The Great Battle Begins (5)

After returning, Qin Wu went straight to his room and fell into a deep sleep. The long march and intense combat over a day and a night had left him exhausted. Now it was up to Lu Acai to take over.

Meanwhile, in a mysterious base on Earth, hundreds of people with clearly defined roles were refining the metal ore that Lu Acai had transported, according to the recipe on the scroll.

After discussions among the masters, the production of the God-Slaying Thorn was broken down into smaller, more detailed steps, with some less important steps being assigned to weapon refiners of lower skill levels.

Finally, they are assembled, which greatly improves the efficiency of manufacturing the God-Slaying Thorn.

Working almost non-stop, in just half a month, all the resources plundered from Lingshan were exhausted. A total of twelve God-Slaying Thorns and seventy-two crossbow bolts were all stored in the secret vault of Dawn City.

In the council hall of Dawn City, seven people were secretly discussing something. If Qin Wu were there, he would be shocked, because all seven people present were Grandmaster-level experts.

The three extra people are a human Grandmaster, Thanos of the Eternals, and the rest are Kryptonian Grandmasters.
