Dapeng's Time Travel Life

Chapter 215 Mineral Vein Storm: Power Spying

Sunlight dappled the winding mountain path leading to the spirit stone mine. Zhang Peng and Wang Yongli walked side by side, followed by a group of elite Qingyun Sect disciples. Their steps were brisk, and their expressions were vigilant. After learning about the spirit stone mine, Zhang Peng decided to go and investigate personally. This matter concerned the future development of his family, and he could not afford to fail.

“Patriarch, I’ve arranged for my disciples to patrol the area around the mine day and night for the past few days, and so far, we haven’t found anything unusual. However, this place is of great importance, and we still need to proceed with caution.” Wang Yongli frowned slightly, his eyes scanning the surroundings sharply, his words full of caution.

Zhang Peng nodded slightly, his expression grave: "Wang Yongli, you did a great job. However, once news of the spirit stone mine spreads, it will inevitably attract the covetous eyes of other forces, and we must be fully prepared."

As they spoke, they arrived at the entrance to the mine. A rich spiritual energy rushed towards them, and the cracks in the rocks at the entrance faintly shimmered with the light of spirit stones, like twinkling stars. Zhang Peng stepped into the mine, his spiritual energy coalescing into a ball of light that illuminated the dark passage. Countless spirit stones were embedded in the cave walls, emitting a soft glow. The further they went, the denser the spiritual energy became, almost tangible, leaving them feeling refreshed and invigorated.

"Patriarch, the quality of this mine far exceeds our expectations. If it can be properly mined, the family's strength will be greatly enhanced." Wang Yongli's eyes gleamed with excitement, and his voice carried an undisguised thrill.

Looking at the scene before him, Zhang Peng was also delighted, but his years of experience kept him calm: "Don't be too happy yet. Mining a vein is not an easy task. We need to recruit a group of experienced miners, build professional mining tools, and strengthen our defenses to prevent sabotage."

Just then, a disciple on patrol rushed over, looking flustered: "Master, something bad has happened! We've discovered unidentified people spying near the mine. There are quite a few of them, and they're not weak either."

Zhang Peng's expression changed drastically. He exchanged a glance with Wang Yongli, knowing in their hearts that what was bound to happen had finally arrived. "Let's go, let's go see!" he decisively ordered, leading everyone out of the mine quickly.

In a dense forest not far from the mine, Zhang Peng and his group discovered a group of mysterious figures dressed in black robes. These people were hidden in the shadows, furtively observing the mine's movements. Zhang Peng's heart tightened; he circulated his spiritual energy, preparing for any potential battle.

"Hmph, you cowardly rat hiding your head and tail, come out here!" Zhang Peng shouted, his voice booming like a bell, echoing through the dense forest.

Realizing their presence had been discovered, the men in black robes revealed themselves. The leader was a tall man with a狰狞 mask covering his face, revealing only a pair of cold eyes: "Zhang Peng, I didn't expect you to find us so quickly. This spirit stone mine is ours for the Shadow Hall. If you know what's good for you, leave now!"

Zhang Peng sneered, "This is the territory of my Qingyun Sect. You have trespassed without permission and dare to speak so arrogantly! Today, no one will take a single spirit stone from here!"

The atmosphere instantly became tense, with both sides poised to draw their swords. The members of the Shadow Hall quickly formed a semi-circle, surrounding Zhang Peng and his group. They exuded an evil aura, and their weapons gleamed coldly; a major battle was about to erupt.

Zhang Peng unleashed the Chaos Spirit Technique, five-colored spiritual energy swirling around him, forming an indestructible shield. His eyes were resolute, showing no fear: "Wang Yongli, lead the disciples to deal with this carefully, do not attack rashly."

Wang Yongli nodded and quickly organized his disciples into a defensive formation. Although the Qingyun Sect disciples were outnumbered, they were all highly motivated, gathering spiritual energy in their hands, ready to face the battle.

"Kill!" The leader of the Shadow Hall launched the first attack, wielding his black whip, which lashed out at Zhang Peng like a black lightning bolt. Zhang Peng dodged the attack with ease, simultaneously unleashing a five-colored sword aura that shot towards the leader of the Shadow Hall.

The leader's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly swung his long whip to defend himself. The sword energy struck the whip, producing a loud bang, and the powerful impact forced him back several steps. Seeing this, the other members of the Shadow Hall rushed forward, unleashing various evil spells at Zhang Peng and his companions.

Zhang Peng and the disciples of the Qingyun Sect fought back fiercely. In an instant, the dense forest flashed with magical light, and shouts of battle shook the heavens. Zhang Peng unleashed the killing move of the Chaos Spirit Technique; a five-colored beam of light, carrying an earth-shattering aura, shot towards the Shadow Hall's ranks. Wherever the light touched, the Shadow Hall members fell to the ground, letting out painful screams.

However, the Shadow Hall members were unwilling to accept defeat, and their attacks became even more ferocious. Zhang Peng realized that these people seemed to be stalling for time, and an ominous premonition welled up in his heart.

"Oh no, they might have another trick up their sleeve!" Zhang Peng shouted. "Everyone be careful!"

Just then, a black crack suddenly appeared in the sky, and a powerful dark force surged out from the crack.
