Elder Hai was slain, and the Returning to Origin Sect disciples who witnessed this scene were utterly terrified. Their fighting spirit vanished instantly, and they no longer tangled with the mine slave cultivators, turning to flee instead.

The mine slave cultivators nearby, seeing Yuan Ming's heroic display of slaying a Golden Elixir stage cultivator, were now even more invigorated, as if injected with adrenaline.

They cheered excitedly and charged at the fleeing guards.

As the chase continued, the news of Elder Hai's death quickly spread throughout the entire mine. The battle, already one-sided, now collapsed even more rapidly.
