Chapter 585 Xu Xiao's Method
The other person was dressed in a clean, close-fitting black long shirt, which perfectly outlined her slender and graceful curves.
Her cheeks were fair and delicate, exquisite and beautiful.
Her perfectly applied black eyeliner and black lipstick contrasted sharply with her fair complexion, exuding a strange and alluring charm.
She had a slender and tall waist, black hair draped over her back, and frighteningly white skin, slightly different from Nangong Yan's sickly white, which was devoid of any color.
She was a beautiful and delicate young woman who looked to be in her late twenties.
Xu Xiao smiled inwardly.
Unexpectedly, Li Hongmei of the Xuan Yin Immortal Sect is a B-level woman of destiny.
The old man in the yellow robe, Nangong Huaji, is Nangong Yan's grandfather and the current city lord of Yunyin City.
Led by him and Li Hongmei, the group landed in the garden of the city lord's mansion, where more than a dozen sect elders of the Xuan Yin Immortal Sect were already waiting.
"Greetings, Elder Nangong of the Supreme Yin-Yang Immortal Sect!"
The elders bowed, and Nangong Yan smiled and waved her hand, then followed Li Hongmei and Nangong Huaji to sit in the main seat of the hall.
Mo Wenshu, Xu Xiaoling, and Bai Yan sat in the first three seats on the left, while Li Hongmei and Nangong Huaji sat in the first seat on the right.
The remaining city lords and elders sat on the back rows on both sides.
A dozen servants served tea in the main hall, and the crowd immediately showered them with compliments.
Nangong Yan stretched out her fair hand to interrupt, saying, "Grandpa, Sect Leader Li, everyone, let's get down to business first."
"This time I'm only here on behalf of Elder Liu to handle matters related to the underwater spirit mines. It would be best to resolve this quickly."
Upon hearing this, Li Hongmei, Nangong Huaji, and the others looked slightly grave, as they all knew the situation.
However, judging from Elder Nangong's complexion today, could there be a solution to Dao Shang?
Everyone had heard about Nangong Yan's injury, but no one dared to ask her openly.
"These are Elder Liu's three personal disciples, who have come with me to handle this matter."
Nangong Yan briefly introduced the three people, and everyone bowed respectfully to them. They had met Mo Wenshu, Ling Baiyan, and the others.
Apart from Li Hongmei, who is at the seventh level of the Human Immortal Realm, and Nangong Huaji, who is at the first level of the Human Immortal Realm, the remaining city lords and elders are all Transcending Tribulation cultivators.
If Li Hongmei can't handle it, then the only option is to notify the Yin Yang Immortal Sect.
"This is Elder Liu's third personally taught disciple, Xu Xiao."
Nangong Yan looked at the other person with a slight glint in her eyes, "She is Elder Liu's beloved disciple, and we are equally close."
Although she did not directly confirm her relationship with Xu Xiao, she received his promise to provide her with the Immortal Transformation Pill.
Brat!
You have good taste!
The melancholy between Nangong Yan's brows completely vanished. She returned to the path of immortality, and her heart was pounding with excitement.
The six-year-old, double-gold, nouveau riche young man was completely defeated by her beauty!
Ha ha!
"Xu Xiao?"
Everyone blinked, their brows twitching slightly.
The name sounded familiar... but no one thought much of it and greeted them with clasped hands.
Elder Nangong has said so, which shows that Xu Xiao's status among the disciples is not low.
After exchanging pleasantries, Li Hongmei frowned slightly and said, "Elder Nangong, we have investigated the underwater spirit mine. It produces 800 to 1,000 high-grade spirit essences annually and can be mined for over a thousand years."
"We absolutely cannot give up such resources..."
Li Hongmei and Nangong Huaji provide a detailed explanation of the situation of the underwater spiritual mine.
Half a month ago, Flying Fish City, which is close to the South China Sea among the sixteen cities, discovered this underwater spirit mine.
The city lord personally investigated and brought back news of the spirit mine.
Due to the recent undersea earthquake, this spiritual ore was pushed to the seabed by the power of the earth.
However, the spiritual vein is located on the edge of the Golden Toad Clan's territory near the sea, with a portion of it within the territory actually controlled by the Golden Toad Clan.
Therefore, the Golden Toad Clan seized the spirit mine and mobilized its members to excavate it.
Li Hongmei let out a soft breath and said, "The Golden Toad Clan knows that my Xuan Yin Immortal Sect and the Sixteen Cities are forces of the Yin Yang Immortal Sect, yet they still insist on occupying the spirit mine. Elder Nangong, we must not let them get away with this!"
Although this spirit mine is a tiny mine, it is a huge resource for the Xuan Yin Immortal Sect of the Sixteen Cities.
This cannot be ignored!
We'll take it even if we have to.
Nangong Yan raised a delicate eyebrow and asked, "What's the situation inside the Golden Toad Clan?"
Based on the information given by the Eastern Sect Leader, she guessed that the Golden Toad Clan dared to occupy the spirit mine and compete with their Yin Yang Immortal Sect for resources because they relied on the Pure Yang Immortal Sect.
Li Hongmei said, "This is a branch of the Golden Toad Clan. The clan leader is a ninth-level Human Immortal, and there are two other third-level Human Immortal experts."
Nangong Yan nodded: "They have some strength of their own, no wonder they dare to occupy the spirit mine."
She then revealed that the Golden Toad Clan had secretly allied themselves with the Pure Yang Immortal Sect.
"What?! The Golden Toad Clan has actually colluded with the Pure Yang Immortal Sect?!"
"No wonder! No wonder this little golden toad dared to covet the spirit mine!"
"Elder Nangong! We absolutely cannot let them get away with this!!"
The city lords and elders below were agitated and indignant, each one gritting their teeth in anger.
Mudd!
The Pure Yang Immortal Sect has even extended its reach into the territory of the Yin Yang Immortal Sect; this is a blatant provocation!
If the spirit mine is lost, everyone present will lose a considerable source of resources.
Everyone is in a hurry!
Nangong Yan frowned slightly and said, "Since you have pledged allegiance to the Chunyang Immortal Sect, there should now be members of the Chunyang Immortal Sect in charge of the Golden Toad Clan."
"Since part of the spirit mine is in the territory of the Golden Toad Clan, if the Pure Yang Immortal Sect insists on not returning it, we don't really have any good solutions."
Having learned the details, she has now clearly analyzed the situation.
Directly driving them away might not be feasible, even with the Pure Yang Immortal Sect's resident members present.
Furthermore, the two top immortal sects haven't broken ties, so it's not convenient for them to take action.
If they went forward to demand it, the Golden Toad Clan would be in the right, and with the support of the Pure Yang Immortal Sect, the other party would not easily give up the resources.
Nangong Yan discovered that the trouble this matter was more complicated than she had anticipated.
"Gentlemen, since this involves the Pure Yang Immortal Sect, I don't think it's appropriate to take back all of this spirit mine. At most, we should mine the veins in our territory."
"How much of the spirit ore do we own on this side?"
Li Hongmei said with a solemn expression, "Only 40% is occupied, and 60% is in the territory of the Golden Toad Clan. The Golden Toad Clan currently occupies all of it and is mining it."
Nangong Yan's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly.
Only 40%?
Therefore, if the Pure Yang Immortal Sect is powerful, it can justify taking all the spirit mines.
She fell into deep thought, while Li Hongmei, Nangong Huaji, and their group frowned, knowing the difficulty of this matter.
But a small portion of the spirit mine is in their territory, and they are unwilling to accept that!
They were so eager to try it!
"No matter what, we must get our 40% of the spirit mine back!"
Nangong Yan's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and her small fists clenched slightly.
She didn't care about the incurable injuries she suffered before, but now that she's back on the path to immortality, she'll fight for every resource!
If the Xuan Yin Immortal Sect and the Sixteen Cities obtain a portion of the spiritual veins, according to the rules, they will hand over a portion to the Yin Yang Immortal Sect, and the sects will also receive a share.
Although the Eight Cities of Cloud Hidden were handed over to Liu Qingqian, she was still the one collecting the resources.
"Is there only four floors at most?"
Everyone was slightly disappointed; who would have thought that the Golden Toad Clan would actually submit to the Pure Yang Immortal Sect?!
What a bunch of despicable toads!
Everyone shook their heads.
Unfortunately, 60% of the spiritual vein is in someone else's territory; getting back 40% would be considered good...
With a slight sense of regret, Nangong Yan wanted to lead a group to the spirit mine to personally negotiate with the Golden Toad Clan and try to reclaim this part of their territory.
Xu Xiao stroked his chin and smiled slightly: "Sect Leader Li, City Lord Nangong, has the news of the Golden Toad Clan's allegiance to the Pure Yang Immortal Sect been released?"
Nangong Yan and Li Hongmei were taken aback. The latter shook her head and said, "No, we are unaware of the Golden Toad Clan's allegiance to the Pure Yang Immortal Sect."
Xu Xiao nodded, "That makes things easier. Just wipe out the Golden Toad Clan, leave no one alive."
"With the Golden Toad Clan gone, this spirit mine has absolutely nothing to do with the Pure Yang Immortal Sect anymore."
Upon hearing this, everyone present widened their eyes.
