Wu Shattered Star River

West Dragon Mountain is located west of White Fox Mountain. It's a large mountain with many mines, but the crystals mined previously weren't particularly valuable.

Moreover, this mountain used to belong to Guanghua Temple before being seized by the White Fox Sect.

The Second Elder led Jiang Han and the others directly via teleportation. Jiang Han discovered a large mine upon arrival, with powerful formations constructed here.

Clearly!

If it were an ordinary mine, such powerful formations wouldn't be built. This must have been hastily constructed by Bai Weiwei after learning about the White Meteor Crystals here.

She intended to mine discreetly, but the news unexpectedly leaked, attracting the covetous eyes of Guanghua Temple.

From Guanghua Temple's perspective, this mine used to be theirs, seized by the White Fox Mountain. Now that valuable crystals have been discovered, they naturally want to reclaim it…

There are many mine slaves here, of various races, and their combat strength is not high. They are all very apprehensive seeing so many powerful figures arrive.

The White Fox Sect has twelve Dao Ancestor Realm experts. The Grand Elder is in seclusion, the Third Elder is coordinating affairs at White Fox Mountain, and Bai Weiwei is away. So, nine Dao Ancestor Realm experts came this time, the strongest being the Second Elder at the sixth level of the Dao Ancestor Realm.

After arriving, the Second Elder arranged for several Saint Sovereigns to lead patrols, while also dispatching a large number of scouts to lurk in the mountains and nearby.

They themselves did nothing, allowing the Elders and Grand Elders to rest and prepare for battle.

Jiang Han moved into a small palace. After sitting for a while, Gong Han arrived, bringing a thousand White Meteor Crystals.

Gong Han said, "These were mined recently. The Second Elder took out a portion to distribute to us, and this is your share."

Jiang Han picked up a White Meteor Crystal. This thing was only the size of a grain of rice, completely crystal clear, and he could sense a large amount of energy contained within when held in his hand.

Jiang Han asked, "Can it be refined directly?"

Gong Han nodded and said, "Ordinary cultivators cannot refine it; the energy is too strong. Your combat strength is high, so you should have no problem refining it directly!"

Jiang Han directly mobilized his immortal power to envelop and refine the White Meteor Crystal.

Streams of powerful energy swept into Jiang Han's body. Jiang Han guided the energy to circulate throughout his body, cycling it dozens of times before absorbing all of it.

He closed his eyes and sensed it for a moment, then nodded slightly, saying, "Indeed, it's very strong. There's been some growth in both my physical body and soul."

Jiang Han's physical body and soul are already very strong now; ordinary natural treasures can no longer make him grow.

This White Meteor Crystal could actually cause some growth in his physical body and soul. He even wondered if he should do something big and rob all the White Meteor Crystals from the mine…

This thought flashed through his mind, but Jiang Han didn't do anything foolish.

Mining these crystals definitely requires a huge amount of time and manpower. Otherwise, after five months of discovery, Bai Weiwei would have already arranged for experts to mine them all.

The White Fox Sect has a five-star great power backing them. If he acts rashly, it might cause big trouble.

It's completely unnecessary for a few crystals.

Gong Han left. Jiang Han thought for a while and put away the White Meteor Crystals, then flashed into the Other Shore Space.

He stood outside that huge tornado, took out all the White Meteor Crystals, and then casually threw them into the tornado.

Refining this thing wouldn't be of much use to him; it's better to throw it into the tornado. What if it has an effect?

Unfortunately…

After the White Meteor Crystals were thrown into the tornado, they were quickly all annihilated, but they didn't cause any changes in the spiritual energy inside.

Jiang Han observed for a while, then flashed out and meditated in the palace, waiting for the battle to begin.

Only three days passed before the scouts sent news. The Elders of Guanghua Temple have arrived, eight of them, along with hundreds of Saint Sovereigns and thousands of disciples.

The disciples on the White Fox Sect's side were successively mobilized. At this moment, thousands of disciples have gathered in the mine. Both sides have almost come out in full force, one side preparing to defend West Dragon Mountain to the death, and the other preparing to forcefully attack West Dragon Mountain.

"Let's go!"

The Second Elder summoned Jiang Han and the others. He didn't plan to defend to the death within the formation, but instead prepared to fight outside.

This formation was not easy to set up. Also, if the formation is shattered, the mine might be destroyed in the battle, and many White Meteor Crystals might be destroyed by then.

The Second Elder activated the formation, leading a group of Elders, Saint Sovereigns, and disciples out, and stationed themselves on a hilltop near the mine.

He didn't take the initiative to attack, but waited for Guanghua Temple to attack first. This way, they would also have an excuse, saying that Guanghua Temple took the initiative to provoke.

Some simple camps were built on the hilltop. The Second Elder arranged for two Elders to take turns leading patrols nearby. This way, if the enemy suddenly attacked, they wouldn't be caught off guard.

On the first day, Elder Qu and another Elder patrolled. On the second day, two other Elders were replaced.

On the third day, the Second Elder called Jiang Han to patrol. Jiang Han wasn't familiar with the other Elders, and was about to ask the Second Elder to arrange one when Holy Maiden Yue took the initiative to stand up and say, "Shall I patrol with Elder Jiang?"

The Second Elder glanced at Jiang Han. Jiang Han shrugged indifferently. The two of them flew with a few Saint Sovereigns, patrolling around West Dragon Mountain.

After patrolling for a lap, Jiang Han didn't say anything. Holy Maiden Yue waved her hand, letting the Saint Sovereigns behind her follow from a distance.

Then she said in a low voice, "Have we reached the point where we have nothing to say to each other?"

Jiang Han had a headache. He had no feelings for Holy Maiden Yue, but this Holy Maiden Yue obviously had hope for him.

He thought for a while and said, "I can't meet your requirements. The sect won't marry you to me. Since that's the case… then why bother dwelling on it?"

Holy Maiden Yue's eyes turned cold, and she said, "Is that why you go to find courtesans every day? You can't meet the requirements, can't you work hard? As long as you work hard, you're not completely without a chance."

"Hehe!"

Jiang Han chuckled and looked at Holy Maiden Yue, asking in return, "Do you like me as a person? Or my combat strength? If my combat strength isn't strong enough, am I not worthy of you? Holy Maiden Yue, that's not what I think love is."

Holy Maiden Yue said coldly, "Everything in this world has a price, including love! If you want to get me, you have to pay the price. You don't even want to work hard, so how can you have a chance? Elder Jiang, I admit I have some affection for you, but you… have disappointed me!"

"Hehe!"

Jiang Han smiled, but didn't say anything more.

This Holy Maiden was cultivated by the sect, and her values are abnormal, or rather, she doesn't live for herself, but for the sect.

Words are not congenial, Jiang Han feels that even half a sentence is too much…

"Hmm?"

At this moment, Jiang Han's gaze suddenly turned towards a small mountain on the left. He sensed something unusual, but when his soul power swept over, he didn't find anything.

"Buzz ~"

The experience of walking on the line of life and death for many years made Jiang Han instinctively feel a sense of crisis.

He released his battle armor for the first time. Although it didn't fuse with the power of chaos, it was all condensed with the power of true demon.

He mobilized some power of true demon, condensed a large palm, and slammed it towards the small mountain in front.

"Boom!"

The small mountain exploded, and two figures flashed out. They were two Buddhas, two Buddhas, one on the left and one on the right, killing Jiang Han and Holy Maiden Yue at a terrifying speed.

"Not good——"

Holy Maiden Yue sensed the aura of these two Buddhas, and her face turned pale. While retreating violently, she shouted, "Jiang Han, run, these are the two Grand Elders of Guanghua Temple, we can't beat them."
