Chapter 808: These Spirit Mines, Asura Palace Will Take Them All!

Seeing the audacity of the person before him, how could Sima Chang not feel hatred?

The Spirit Mine should have been his!

He had chosen a different path: "It was I who broke the array, allowing you all to enter this land. I am willing to join Asura Palace, and I pledge my loyalty to it!"

He believed he had earned the right to make such a proposal.

However, Gu Xuanfeng’s smile deepened, and his mockery grew sharper.

"Asura Palace does not accept trash."

He wanted to inspect the Spirit Mine but had no interest in wasting any more time with Sima Chang.

With a swing of his weapon, Gu Xuanfeng unleashed a stronger blast of spiritual power.

Dust flew, blinding Sima Chang’s vision.

Sima Chang, already in a weakened state, was too slow to dodge.

The blow sliced through his waist, cleaving his body in two, blood splattering, and he fell silent.

Gu Xuanfeng wiped the blood off his weapon, watching as his subordinates, the Night Asura, prepared to harvest Sima Chang’s inner core.

"No need," he said, "His core must have been damaged from the earlier attack. It’s useless now."

With the matter settled, Gu Xuanfeng turned his gaze toward Immortal World.

He took out the Telestone to report to the Asura Palace Master about the situation in Mu Nation.

The Palace Master, located in the far north, had noticed the damage to the Upper Realm’s array barrier. His voice was filled with excitement.

"Whoever did this to the Upper Realm’s array is impressive. You’ve done well. We can no longer remain in our original position. It’s the perfect time to move to Mu Nation, seize resources, and lay the foundations for our new home."

The excitement in the Palace Master’s tone was evident, and he gave a command, "Get all the Spirit Mines first. I’ll bring the hall masters and the Night Asura to join you soon!"

Asura Palace was about to take root in the Spirit Mines!

Gu Xuanfeng grinned, "I won’t disappoint the Lord."

He put away the Telestone and turned to the Night Asura, saying, "Let’s seize this place, accomplish a great feat, and when the Lord arrives, we will be rewarded!"

The Night Asura cheered in excitement.

This time, Asura Palace would definitely become the strongest faction in the Nine States!

And they would rise to power in the process!

However, the number of people on this mission was not large.

Gu Xuanfeng took out a special artifact to probe the Spirit Mines. Soon, he locked onto the largest and best Spirit Mine and decided to take it first—it was better than anything else.

But upon arrival, they discovered that the only ones guarding this mine were a few mortal guards, who seemed no more than ants in their eyes.

"Protect the young master!" The guards hurried to stand in front of Chu Shuo, trying to protect him.

Indeed, since discovering the Spirit Mine, Chu Shuo had visited frequently, taking some of the stones each time.

By coincidence, he had not left by nightfall, and now saw the array being broken.

With his heart sinking, he realized that the people before him were a serious threat.

But this wasn’t just his Spirit Mine—it was also the livelihood of his three nephews!

He couldn’t allow anyone to take it.

Chu Shuo, though fearful, didn’t back down. He stepped forward and said, "Why have you trespassed into the Chu family’s Spirit Mine? What are your intentions?"

Gu Xuanfeng understood immediately upon hearing "Chu family" and recognized Chu Shuo’s face.

"This array was set up by your sixth sister, wasn’t it?" He scoffed. "No wonder she went to so much trouble. This Spirit Mine is full of top-tier spirit stones. I wonder how deep it goes."

Chu Shuo, hearing his tone, also figured out who he was dealing with.

"Correct," he said, then nonchalantly continued, "My sixth sister and Zen Master Cinian are currently away, but they will return soon. Our Chu family can offer you two Spirit Mines as a gesture of friendship."

Gu Xuanfeng laughed mockingly.

He drew his sword and swung it down onto the spirit stone-covered ground.

The hard ground carved a deep scar, several meters deep.

The entire Spirit Mine trembled.

He sneered, "Nanli and Cinian have been surrounded by several major factions. Their fate is uncertain, and you want to bluff me?"

"A mere mortal, what right do you have to talk about friendship with me? Shameless!"

"This land, these Spirit Mines—they all belong to Asura Palace!"

Chu Shuo’s face went pale upon hearing the news of Nanli and Cinian. He had hoped they were just delayed, but now his heart sank further.

Still, he steeled himself and glared at Gu Xuanfeng. "Your actions are unreasonable! The Chu family does not kneel to anyone. Leave now, and perhaps you’ll keep your life!"

His guards trembled at the sight.

Young Master! Second Master!

They could tell they were no match for these intruders—why provoke them further?

Gu Xuanfeng’s fury twisted into a smile. "You’re asking for death!"

He dashed forward, preparing to capture Chu Shuo and force him to kneel and beg for mercy.

But just as he was about to grab Chu Shuo by the throat, a long sword suddenly thrust out from the side.

Gu Xuanfeng didn’t feel the need to fear the weapons of mortals. To him, they were like twigs—easy to break.

But this sword was wrapped with an unusual energy.

He recoiled, fear creeping up his spine.

He quickly retreated, taking a few steps back to regain his stance, his eyes narrowing as he saw who had appeared.

It was Chu Yan.

The new Emperor of Mu Nation.

Chu Yan’s face was grim as he spoke, "You may be a guest, but that doesn’t mean you can be unreasonable."

Gu Xuanfeng paused, sensing an unfamiliar aura from Chu Yan. He hesitated, not daring to act rashly.

After a moment, Gu Xuanfeng smiled, "Just a joke, Emperor Mu, you’re too serious. What? Is a mortal really this hard to deal with?"

Chu Yan had used a Transfer Talisman to arrive here.

He had just heard Gu Xuanfeng’s words and, worried about Nanli, his face softened as he said, "If you’re willing to talk peacefully, I’m sure we can come to an understanding."

Gu Xuanfeng raised an eyebrow and sheathed his weapon.

"You truly are magnanimous, Emperor Mu." His tone was somewhat mocking, but he then made a gesture of respect.

But as Chu Yan also lowered his sword, Gu Xuanfeng’s expression changed. With a sudden and furious burst of power, he hurled a wave of spiritual energy toward Chu Yan’s heart!
