Without the obstruction of Zhang Biren and his followers, the group of people who intended to intercept the miners in the resident area of the managers quickly withdrew at the first opportunity, which saved Mu Xuyang a lot of trouble.
Next, the miners in the mining area, led by Ao Qing and Nie Yifan, rushed out of the mining area and gained their freedom after half an hour's journey.
After everyone left and the old yellow dog finished cleaning up the battlefield, Mu Xuyang set fire to the wooden housing and then put the old yellow dog into the spiritual creature bag. With Ao Qing and Nie Yifan, he headed straight to Qingyun Sect.
At dawn, half an hour before the shift change, the new group of gatekeepers arrived, bringing the total number of people in front of the Qingyun Sect gate to more than 20.
When Mu Xuyang, Ao Qing, and Nie Yifan arrived at the Qingyun Sect gate, the people who had participated in the ambush on the three of them, such as Fang Junyun and Gu Jinzhong, were stunned. They couldn't figure out how Mu Xuyang, Ao Qing, and Nie Yifan had managed to escape from the heavily guarded Luofu Iron Mine.
"Senior brothers who were on duty last night, you haven't rested yet? I have never been to Qingyun Sect before. You guys are more familiar with the environment here. Since the new shift has arrived, you don't need to stay here. Can you please lead the way for us to see Elder Zhong?" Mu Xuyang's gaze swept over the disciples who were on duty last night, and then he looked at Fang Junyun and Gu Jinzhong with a cold smile.
The new group of gatekeepers did not know Mu Xuyang and the others, but they saw the change in Fang Junyun and Gu Jinzhong's expressions and realized that they might have done something excessive that had offended the three of them. Therefore, they did not dare to approach and stood quietly, waiting for the situation to unfold.
Fang Junyun and Gu Jinzhong knew very well that once their actions were exposed, Du Yongming, the person in charge who supported them from behind, would not let them off easily. He would kill them to prevent them from revealing any unfavorable information about him to the Qingyun Sect high-level officials.
At this moment, when Mu Xuyang asked them to go with him to see Elder Zhong, Fang Junyun quickly refused, saying, "We have urgent matters to attend to. It's better to have one or two people from here take you to see Elder Zhong."
Therefore, once Mu Xuyang finished speaking, Fang Junyun immediately declined and suggested that one or two people be sent from Qingyun Sect to lead them to see Elder Zhong.
Upon receiving Mu Xuyang's reply, Fang Junyun did not look at Mu Xuyang and the others again. Instead, he turned to Gu Jinzhong and the others and signaled them with a look to act quickly and leave Qingyun Sect immediately to seek refuge in the Luo family in Guyan City.
After receiving Fang Junyun's hint, Gu Jinzhong and the others immediately prepared to leave. However, Mu Xuyang spoke up again, sneering, "Don't act like no one knows what you've done. Your actions are too malicious. I'm sure you've colluded with the Luo family before I came to Qingyun Sect and done things that have damaged the reputation of the Qingxuan School and harmed many people, right?"
"This guy is a crazy lunatic. He's relying on Elder Zhong's support to speak recklessly here and slander good people. By saying that, he's accusing us and ruining our innocence. What should we do now?"
At this point, Fang Junyun seemed to realize that the only way to get through this difficult situation was to unite everyone's strength to kill Mu Xuyang, Nie Yifan, and Ao Qing, and then have Du Yongming speak for them and negotiate with Elder Zhong Xiaoyun. So, as Mu Xuyang finished speaking, Fang Junyun immediately uttered the words that incited everyone's emotions, hinting for them to take action immediately and kill Mu Xuyang, Ao Qing, and Nie Yifan to silence them.
"Kill him! We have to kill this guy who slandered us to shut him up and clear our name." After Fang Junyun's stirring words, Gu Jinzhong yelled loudly to the others and then dashed forward, throwing a punch at Mu Xuyang.
If Fang Junyun and Gu Jinzhong had realized that the situation was not good and immediately used their flying treasures to escape, Mu Xuyang would not have been able to catch up with them. However, now that Fang Junyun, Gu Jinzhong, and the others were willing to risk their lives to kill Mu Xuyang, Ao Qing, and Nie Yifan and silence them, their tragic fate was already sealed.
Mu Xuyang did not even consider Fang Junyun, a person at the later stage of the Mana Realm, as a threat. In his eyes, Gu Jinzhong, Fang Junyun, and the others were only at the early and middle stages of the Mana Realm, and their combat power was incomparable to those at the later stage of the Mana Realm.
As Gu Jinzhong approached, Mu Xuyang flashed and cleverly avoided Gu Jinzhong's heavy punch. He then swiftly punched, "bang," hitting Gu Jinzhong's back.
Immediately, everyone present heard a bone break and a "crack" sound. Then they heard Gu Jinzhong's miserable scream. When everyone looked over, they saw Gu Jinzhong fall directly to the ground like a dead dog and lie there motionless.
Muxuyang didn't stop after knocking Gu Jinzhong down. His figure swiftly flashed past the person who intended to kill them to cover up the incident in a very short time. The group of people then clearly felt their spines being forcibly broken, losing their ability to stand and falling to the ground.
Muxuyang easily subdued all the miscellaneous disciples who were on duty last night except Fang Junyun. He then stabilized his figure and calmly approached Fang Junyun while sneering, "My original intention was to give you a chance to appeal to Elder Zhong. If Elder Zhong decides not to investigate this matter, you may not have any trouble. But I gave you the opportunity, and yet you didn't cherish it. Instead, you intended to kill us to cover up your crime. If I were truly a weak and vulnerable person, Elder Zhong wouldn't have valued me and made an exception to admit me to the Qingyun Sect for training. I don't know how many people in the sect are colluding with the Luo family behind the scenes, committing atrocities against the people and harming others. I don't care about these things, nor do I bother to deal with them. But I want to make it clear to you that today is the day for you to repay your sins."
Fang Junyun did not expect Muxuyang to be so fierce. In just over ten breaths of time, he had defeated everyone, including Gu Jinzhong, leaving them all without fighting power and writhing in pain on the ground. As Muxuyang approached him while speaking, Fang Junyun was frightened and did not even consider the issue that Muxuyang had not yet entered the realm of magic power and could not use the flying treasure. He just looked at Muxuyang and stepped back while saying, "Junior fellow apprentice, let's talk it out. Please don't use violence."
