Chu Jun and Zhao Yu stayed in Longevity Sun City for three days, and only prepared to leave after Li Xiangjun and Xi'er's injuries weren't serious.

Chu Jun gave Li Xiangjun the Five Absolute Rings that had been filled with five moves and instructed, "I'll leave the beauty behind. Be careful. Fan Jian should be here by the day after tomorrow at the latest!"

Li Xiangjun took the Five Extremes Ring and put it on her right middle finger. She glanced at Chu Jun charmingly and respectfully said, "This subordinate understands!"

Zhao Yu was at the side. Otherwise, Li Xiangjun would have taken the opportunity to tease this little man. However, seeing that Chu Jun cared so much about her, her heart was still sweet. All her efforts seemed to have paid off.

Little Fire Phoenix knew that she was going to separate from Chu Jun, so she hid in his arms and cried out, her gaze pitiful. Zhao Yu touched Little Fire Phoenix's head and comforted her, "Little beauty, you will accompany Sister Xiangjun during this period of time. When we are done, we will come back to see you. Remember to protect her, otherwise your father will be unhappy!"

The Little Fire Phoenix immediately raised its head and raised its chest in an awe-inspiring manner as it opened its mouth and spat out a flaming tongue.

Zhao Yu and Li Xiangjun couldn't help but laugh out loud!

Chu Jun nodded at Little Fire Phoenix's head and smiled, "Remember to be obedient!"

The Little Fire Phoenix gently pecked Chu Jun's clothes and stretched her neck to squeak twice.

Chu Jun handed the Little Fire Phoenix to Li Xiangjun and instructed, "If you're hungry, just feed it some beast crystals or something. Spirit crystals will do too!"

Li Xiangjun couldn't help but be overjoyed. She hugged the Little Fire Phoenix and kissed it. She nodded and said, "This subordinate knows!"

Little Fire Phoenix kissed Li Xiangjun's thumb and crooked her head as she cried out, looking extremely cute. Li Xiangjun was filled with joy. She took out a Level 3 Beast Crystal and the Little Fire Phoenix pecked at it with a single bite. She flapped her wings and circled around Li Xiangjun in an affectionate manner.

Chu Jun couldn't help but laugh and curse, "A single beast crystal is enough to bribe a foodie!"

The Little Fire Phoenix immediately squeaked Chu Jun in protest.

Li Xiangjun was delighted from ear to ear. She hugged the Little Fire Phoenix Treasure to the extreme. This was a sixth grade spirit beast. As long as it grew up, it would have the strength of a Spirit Refining Stage. It was simply an unattainable existence. If it wasn't for good luck, who would have the fortune to possess such a high grade spirit beast?

"Little beauty, I'll depend on you for my safety in the future!" Li Xiangjun chuckled.

Little Fire Phoenix nodded her head vigorously. She looked like she was wrapped around me. Li Xiangjun couldn't help but giggle.

Chu Jun and Zhao Yu looked at each other and smiled. Although the Little Fire Phoenix was not yet an adult, its strength was definitely not weaker than that of a Middle Gold Core cultivator. With its protection and Fan Jian's help, Li Xiangjun's safety was greatly guaranteed. Moreover, the Little Fire Phoenix's strength was improving every day.

This time, Chu Jun and Zhao Yu didn't ask Li Xiangjun to send them off. They directly left Shouyang City and rushed towards You Ri!

Just as the two of them had left the city a hundred miles away, a majestic aura rushed up from the mountain range below. Following that, one of them slowly rose up with the wind and snow covering the sky, blocking their path.

Ouyang Shuixu !

Chu Jun and Zhao Yu stood side by side with solemn expressions. Although they had thought that Ouyang Shuixu would retaliate, they did not expect it to come so quickly. Chu Jun and Zhao Yu quickly took out their flying swords and watched Ouyang Shuixu vigilantly.

Although Ouyang Shuixu was an expert at the Nascent Soul Stage, he was still a bit inferior to Venerable Primordius at the mid Nascent Soul Stage. The two of them had even killed Venerable Primordius, so they naturally would not stand idly by in front of Ouyang Shuixu. Ouyang Shuixu seemed to have walked out of the world of ice and snow. His entire body emitted a chilling aura. Although he did not attack, it gave off a pressure as heavy as a million icebergs.

"You killed Zhu Ling?" Even his voice was bone-chilling.

Chu Jun nodded and said, "Not bad!"

"Very good!" Two words popped out of Ouyang Shuixu's mouth, like ice grains thrown to the ground, loud and forceful.

Chu Jun and Zhao Yu tightened their grip on the magic treasure and concentrated their vigilance, preparing to meet Ouyang Shuixu 's lightning-like attack. However, Ouyang Shuixu 's actions were beyond their expectations. He flicked his long sleeve and turned around to leave. Just as Chu Jun was stunned, Ouyang Shuixu 's cold voice sounded, "You'd better enter the top twelve of the competition. Otherwise, you'll die in a month!"

Ouyang Shuixu disappeared in the blink of an eye. Chu Jun and Zhao Yu looked at each other in astonishment!

"Looks like Du Wu has already looked for Ouyang Shuixu . They seem to have reached some sort of agreement!" Chu Jun said with a serious face.

Zhao Yu nodded, "It's good that Ouyang Shuixu doesn't come to trouble us for the time being. We can participate in the competition with all our might. When we come out of the 18th floor, we don't need to be afraid of him anymore!"

If what Du Wu said was true, their cultivation would greatly increase if they came out of the eighteenth floor. By that time, their cultivation should be at the Nascent Soul Stage. Naturally, they weren't afraid of Ouyang Shuixu 's revenge.

Chu Jun smiled and said, "Yu'er, are you so confident that you can pass the eighteenth floor?"

Zhao Yu gently rolled her eyes at Chu Jun and said, "With you here, even if there are eighteen more floors, you can still pass. Didn't the Shao Clan Patriarch say that your luck is unparalleled and that the Purple Yellow Dragon Qi is protecting you? What are you afraid of?"

Chu Jun couldn't help but laugh. He hugged Zhao Ren's charming body into his arms and said with a sweet smell, "Good Yu'er!"

Zhao Yu shyly knocked on Chu Jun and said angrily, "Bad guy!"

Chu Jun chuckled and led Zhao Yu forward. Since Du Wu had already looked for Ouyang Shuixu , he shouldn't have to worry about the Ice Profound Sect's revenge during this period of time, so his mood was much lighter. The two of them had the reality of a husband and wife, and their relationship went even further. It was as if they were glued to each other's knees, loving each other, sleeping together at night, and enjoying themselves.

It had already been four days since Chu Jun and Zhao Yu had returned to Serene Sun City. Who would have thought that they would hear of a major event as soon as they entered the city? The ghosts landed on the coast of the Star Continent's Star Wars Mountain Range. They raided Star Wars City and destroyed the city in three days. They slaughtered 100,000 xiuzhe, turning it into a lifeless ghost domain that was rarely visited by humans. Most importantly, the places the ghosts passed by would definitely destroy their spiritual veins. Without spiritual energy, not only would everything not survive, cultivators would be in danger of collapsing without spiritual energy.

The ghosts were using an undisguised strategy of extinction!

Many immortal cultivators had even fled across the continent's boundaries to Chongming Island . The various prefectures of Chongming Island had already issued warnings. The cities bordering Star Continent and along the coast had entered a state of readiness. The streets of Nether Crystal City were filled with heavily armed city guards. There were even regular troops stationed near the southern port of the city. The gloomy clouds of the great battle began to pervade Chongming Island , as if a great battle was about to break out. Many cowardly fellows began to migrate inland.

As news of the fall of Star City by the ghosts spread, the most noisy spirit mine incident in this period of time was overshadowed. Everyone was discussing the horrors of the ghosts, and not many people were discussing the newly discovered spirit mine veins of the Heavenly Phoenix Sect.

The first thing Chu Jun did after returning to the mountain gate was to gather all the upper echelons, including the representatives of the Shao Clan and the Half Spirit Race.

Upon Chu Jun's return, everyone on the mountain seemed to have a backbone, and the atmosphere that was originally like facing a great enemy became much more relaxed. A qualified leader must have the function of a divine needle, and Chu Jun had obviously accomplished it.

"Elder Yin Ding, tell me about the Spirit Mine!" Chu Jun sat on the throne with his horse and golden saber.

Sect Master was the first to speak. Yin Ding couldn't help but be flattered. He stood up and respectfully said, "Returning to Sect Master, Huashuang Peak's initial proven reserves of spirit veins are no less than 200 billion. The quality of the veins is medium-grade!"

Spirit veins are divided into upper, middle and lower grade. They are mainly divided according to the yield of high grade spirit crystals. Those with a yield of lower than 3% belong to low grade spirit crystals, those with a yield of 3% to 6% belong to medium grade spirit crystals, and those with a yield of more than 6% belong to high grade spirit crystals. Up to now, the highest quality spirit ore veins found in the Nine Continents Continent were 9%. In other words, nine out of every 100 spirit crystals dug out were high-grade spirit crystals.

"200 billion mid-grade spirit veins!" Chu Jun's heart beat wildly.

Yin Ding continued, "Right now, Huashuang Peak is still sealed off, waiting for the Sect Master to come back and make a decision before mining."

Chu Jun nodded his head in satisfaction, "Elder Yin, you've done a good job in this matter. Tomorrow, we'll discuss with the Secluded Sun City Affairs Division. After confirming the tax rate, we can start mining!"

"Yes!" Yin Ding sat down happily. The golden cores that they had surrendered from the Chaos Pavilion had all been cast a Soul Transformation Curse by the Shaman. If they wanted Chu Jun to order them to be lifted, then they had to perform well.

"Big Senior Apprentice Brother, how is Huashuang Peak 's security situation? We must not let down our guard!" Chu Jun turned to Shangguan Yu and asked.

"Don't worry, Sect Master. The entire Huashuang Peak is now a restricted area. There are eight golden cores guarding the mountain. I don't think there will be any trouble!" Shangguan Yu said confidently, "Shi Tai has already begun to place a large number of restrictions around Huashuang Peak. As long as the formation is 10% complete, it will be safe!"

Chu Jun nodded his head in satisfaction. He then asked about the recruitment of disciples and the construction of the sect. Finally, he announced that he and Zhao Yu were about to enter the eighteenth floor. In the future, all the affairs on the mountain would be left to Shangguan Yu.

After the meeting ended, Chu Jun brought his men to Huashuang Peak to personally inspect the spirit mines.

Huashuang Peak is located in the northwest of East Radiance Peak, Originally, a large amount of spiritual fields had been cultivated by the outer sect disciples, but now, they were cleared out. Spirit fields were allocated elsewhere to cultivate for them. Of course, those who did not want to cultivate spiritual fields could participate in the mining. Although it was a bit harder, the reward was twice as much as cultivating spiritual fields. Therefore, many outer sect disciples changed their professions to full-time miners.

Chu Jun came out of the mine and accidentally saw Shi Tai and Lan Qi'er pointing at each other in the distance, as if they were arguing about something, so he walked over.

When Lan Qi'er saw Chu Jun, she couldn't help but run over in surprise, "Chu, you're back!"

"Boss!" Shi Tai shouted kindly. This guy's hair was combed like a dog, and his forehead was bare, so he really had the standards of a brick house called a beast.

Chu Jun smiled and asked, "What were you arguing about just now?"

Lan Qi'er immediately became excited, "Chu, Shi Tai and I are discussing how to encompass the East Radiance Nine Peaks into a grand formation!"

Chu Jun's heart skipped a beat. These two fellows were both geniuses in formations. It was unknown what kind of astonishing sparks of wisdom would appear when the two of them collided. He couldn't help but ask with interest, "What do you guys think?"

"It's just an idea," Shi Tai smiled bashfully. "I'm afraid it won't be easy to realize!"

"Let's go, find a place to sit and chat!" Hearing this, Chu Jun's appetite was immediately lifted.

The ghosts attacked Star Continent. Who knew that they would attack Chongming Island one day? Donghua Peak was their nest, so they absolutely couldn't afford to lose. They had to be prepared for a rainy day and forge the nest as solid as gold soup.
