The Tragic Mystic Heaven Hegemony Sect

The Zhou Family's main hall.

"How dare these scoundrels?" A Zhou Family elder slammed his hand on the table, his face full of fury.

"Hmph! Now that the Patriarch is away, these sons of bitches are showing their true colors. They were as docile as sheep in front of us, but in reality, they're wolves in sheep's clothing!"

"If the Patriarch were here, they wouldn't dare to do this even if they had a hundred more guts!"

"Quiet!" The Grand Elder spoke, and the other elders immediately fell silent. "Recall our clansmen from the resource points. Except for those few super resource points, we will no longer station our people at the other resource points!"

"What? Grand Elder, what do you mean by this? Are we abandoning those resource points?" A Saint King elder couldn't help but ask.

The Grand Elder said calmly, "What if we give them up for now? We will take them back twofold later, making them hurt and regret it!"

"These guys will definitely not stop at this and will continue to attack and plunder other resource points. The clansmen stationed at the resource points will surely be killed by them, as we've seen from the previous few times."

"Resources can be lost and regained twofold, but once clansmen die, they are truly dead. Especially Saints and those in the Saint King Realm, we cannot afford further losses."

"That's right! I also think we should recall our clansmen. Even if large resource points are lost, they are lost. Other forces have them anyway, and we can just take them back twofold."

"The several super resource points are the important pillars of our Zhou Family. Send more people to guard them; the super resource points cannot be lost!"

Neighbors hoard grain while I hoard guns; my neighbors are my granary! These Zhou Family powerhouses were already thinking about how many resources they would take from other factions later.

It was fortunate that they hadn't laid hands on the Zhou Family's super resource points, otherwise, the situation would not be like this at all.

Super resource points could stably produce Saint King tier resources, and occasionally Venerable tier resources. One of the Zhou Family's super resource points had even produced Emperor-grade resources!

For that super resource point, the Zhou Family had stationed over a dozen Saint King powerhouses, and a Supreme Realm expert had left behind a divine sense to monitor it secretly.

The Mystic Heaven Hegemony Sect's main hall.

"Hahaha, this is exhilarating! I never thought we'd be able to openly seize the Zhou Family's resource points one day!"

"The Zhou Family had too few cultivators stationed at their resource points, which is why we were able to succeed so quickly. The Zhou Family was too arrogant."

"We even captured three large resource points. The resources in the Zhou Family's resource points are not only abundant but also of good quality."

"We've captured so many resource points and killed so many Zhou Family cultivators, yet the Zhou Family hasn't uttered a word. Moreover, the Zhou Family actually let the clansmen at those resource points return, essentially handing them over to us for free. The Zhou Family has backed down!"

"Heh, the Zhou Family is nothing special. Without the Savage Great Emperor, the Zhou Family is worthless. Weren't they just beaten and forced to flee? Haha."

Representatives from a host of top Holy Lands and super forces burst into laughter, their voices filled with delight. However, they also knew in their hearts that the Zhou Family, as the overlord of the Azure World, wouldn't be so easily defeated, and they remained vigilant.

After all, the Zhou Family still had three Supreme Beings, numerous Saint Kings, and Saint powerhouses, far exceeding ordinary super forces.

"Sect Master, Sect Master, this is bad! Something terrible has happened!" An elder of the Mystic Heaven Hegemony Sect rushed into the main hall, his face filled with panic.

"Elder Qing, calm down. What's happened to make you so flustered? What kind of demeanor is this? You are an elder of the Mystic Heaven Hegemony Sect. Do you want others to laugh at us?"

The Sect Master of the Mystic Heaven Hegemony Sect frowned. If it were any other time, it would be fine, but today there were representatives from many other forces present. How would other forces view the Mystic Heaven Hegemony Sect if an elder of the Mystic Heaven Hegemony Sect was so unstable?

The elder of the Mystic Heaven Hegemony Sect took a breath and quickly said, "Sect Master, it's bad! The Mystic Origin Bamboo Forest has been attacked, all the resources inside have been stolen, and the elders guarding it are all dead! It was people from the Zhou Family!"

"What did you say!" The Sect Master of the Mystic Heaven Hegemony Sect shot up from his seat.

No wonder the Sect Master of the Mystic Heaven Hegemony Sect was so shocked. The Mystic Origin Bamboo Forest was one of the top three large resource points of the Mystic Heaven Hegemony Sect, capable of stably producing Saint tier resources, as well as Saint and Saint King tier resources. It was of considerable scale and extremely important to the Mystic Heaven Hegemony Sect!

Ordinary super forces had one super resource point, and those with two were considered extremely powerful among super forces!

And besides super resource points, large resource points were also extremely important for super forces.

Now, a large resource point had been attacked by the Zhou Family. The Mystic Origin Bamboo Forest contained Mystic Origin Bamboo that had been accumulated for hundreds of years! All gone!

Furthermore, as one of the top three large resource points of the Mystic Heaven Hegemony Sect, they had stationed many powerhouses at the Mystic Origin Bamboo Forest.

Nine Saints, two Saint Kings! All dead now! This was an enormous loss for the Mystic Heaven Hegemony Sect. Cultivating a Saint or a Saint King required vast resources.

Now, so many had died at once, the Sect Master of the Mystic Heaven Hegemony Sect felt his heart bleeding!

"The Zhou Family!" The Sect Master of the Mystic Heaven Hegemony Sect growled, his face filled with rage.

The Zhou Family could barely protect themselves, their resources plundered, and yet they still had the energy to attack the Mystic Origin Bamboo Forest!

Moreover, nine Saints and two Saint Kings – this was not a weak lineup. Yet, they had not received any distress signals. It wasn't until their Soul Lamps extinguished and others went to investigate that they learned of the situation.

Who were the powerhouses from the Zhou Family that attacked the Mystic Origin Bamboo Forest, and what were their cultivation levels?

Furthermore, since the Zhou Family had chosen to attack, they would not just target one resource point. The Sect Master of the Mystic Heaven Hegemony Sect's face was grim, and he had a bad feeling.

Not long after, another elder of the Mystic Heaven Hegemony Sect rushed into the main hall in a panic. Seeing this, the Sect Master of the Mystic Heaven Hegemony Sect's heart sank, and he had a premonition of something bad.

This elder was usually steady and had never appeared so flustered before. Considering the situation at the Mystic Origin Bamboo Forest, could it be...

"Sect Master, it's bad! The Azure Profound Spirit Pool has been attacked, the pool water has been drained, and all the guarding elders have perished!"

Upon hearing this, the Sect Master of the Mystic Heaven Hegemony Sect's vision darkened, and he almost fell to the ground.

The Azure Profound Spirit Pool was the Mystic Heaven Hegemony Sect's number one large resource point, guarded by twelve Saints and three Saint King powerhouses!

Now, all gone!

The Sect Master of the Mystic Heaven Hegemony Sect's heart was bleeding. The representatives from other forces cast sympathetic glances at him. The Zhou Family had specifically targeted the Mystic Heaven Hegemony Sect, attacking their top three large resource points.

The Mystic Heaven Hegemony Sect had lost an unknown amount in such a short time, and their overall strength would likely decrease.

Suddenly, the representatives from these forces thought of something, and their expressions changed. Since the Zhou Family had attacked the Mystic Heaven Hegemony Sect, they might also attack their own forces!
