Elder Hai was beheaded, and the Guiyuan Sect guards who witnessed this scene were all scared witless, their war intent instantly dissipating. They ceased to tangle with the mine slave cultivators they were fighting and turned to flee.
The nearby mine slave cultivators, seeing Yuan Ming's heroic performance in slaying a Core Formation elder, were now even more excited, like chickens injected with adrenaline, shouting enthusiastically as they pursued the fleeing guards.
With these people in pursuit, the news that Elder Hai had been killed quickly spread throughout the entire mine. The already lopsided battle situation collapsed even more swiftly.
Yuan Ming, seeing that the battle was already decided and that there was no need for him to make a move, ordered Hua Zhi and the others to scatter and assist the mine slaves, while he himself collected Elder Hai's body and storage bag and descended to his four-story building.
