"Brother Xuan Tian, I suddenly remembered an urgent matter within the sect, so I'll be leaving now."
"Yes, yes, Brother Xuan Tian, me too, I'm leaving!"
The representatives of various other forces all took their leave, rushing back to their respective territories without delay.
While the Zhou Family's experts were still wreaking havoc on the Mystic Heaven Hegemony Sect and hadn't yet attacked their resource points, they hurried back to fortify their defenses as quickly as possible.
Mystic Heaven Hegemony Sect, second largest resource point, Falling Blossom Valley.
"Zhou Family, you claim to be the overlords of the Azure World, yet you resort to sneak attacks. Shameless!"
A Saint King expert from the Mystic Heaven Hegemony Sect, heavily injured and on the verge of death, looked at the Zhou Family's experts, especially the Supreme Being leading them, with a face full of rage, but his eyes held deep helplessness and despair.
"Noisy!" The Zhou Family's Fifth Grand Elder snorted coldly, flicked his sleeve, and a gust of wind struck down the Saint King expert.
Immediately, the First Grand Elder and other Saint King experts began collecting resources from Falling Blossom Valley. Their collection method was highly efficient, clearly indicating they had prepared for this.
Soon, the Zhou Family members departed, leaving behind only the devastated Falling Blossom Valley. When the Sect Master of the Mystic Heaven Hegemony Sect arrived with other elders, they were heartbroken upon seeing the barren valley.
"Zhou Family, this isn't over between us!"
The speed and methods of this plundering were so thorough that even professional bandits would be ashamed.
Thus, the top three largest resource points of the Mystic Heaven Hegemony Sect were all ravaged by the Zhou Family.
Thirty-one Saints and seven Saint Kings perished, severely weakening the Mystic Heaven Hegemony Sect. The Zhou Family's swift and decisive strike had dealt a painful blow.
Not long after, several large resource points of the Azure Profound Divine Palace were also visited by the Zhou Family. The situation was truly dire.
Even though the Azure Profound Divine Palace had taken precautions and increased their guard presence, those who were meant to die still died, and those who were meant to be robbed were still robbed.
Unless the Supreme Being of the Azure Profound Divine Palace personally guarded them, but even then, he could only guard one super resource point. He truly couldn't spare himself for the large resource points.
One must remember that the Zhou Family's team was led by a Supreme Being, and the weakest among them were Saint Kings. How could the Azure Profound Divine Palace resist?
It is worth mentioning that the Palace Master of the Azure Profound Divine Palace also perished. He unfortunately ran directly into the Zhou Family's group.
Although the Palace Master of the Azure Profound Divine Palace was a Saint King Great Perfection expert, he met his glorious end facing such a terrifyingly strong team.
However, his sacrifice was not in vain. As a top-tier Saint King Great Perfection expert, he managed to transmit the information.
Various forces were terrified. The Zhou Family had dispatched such an elite team. Weren't they afraid of being targeted and eliminated by all the forces combined?
The Zhou Family truly wasn't afraid. With the contingency left behind by the Savage Great Emperor, even several Supreme Beings would have to fight tirelessly for days to break through the Zhou Family's protective formation.
By then, the Zhou Family's team would have already looted their homes.
The Sect Master of the Mystic Heaven Hegemony Sect was filled with lingering fear. If he had encountered the Zhou Family's team back then, he would likely have been dead.
The divine senses of the representatives from various forces gathered once more in the main hall of the Mystic Heaven Hegemony Sect. They looked at each other, unsure of what to say for a moment.
Which force could stop the Zhou Family's team? If they assigned their Supreme Being experts to guard the large resource points, what if the Zhou Family's team stole their super resource points?
Then they would truly have nowhere to cry.
For a time, all the forces ceased attacking the Zhou Family's resource points. They recalled their disciples, especially Saints and Saint King realm experts. Losing even one of these strong individuals would be a devastating blow.
As for the resource points, they were assigned to be guarded by Feather Ascension Realm cultivators. The Feather Ascension Realm was still within the Mortal Realm, so their deaths were not as heartbreaking.
Of course, these Feather Ascension Realm cultivators did not have high innate talent, and most of them could not advance further. They were treated as expendable pawns.
Meanwhile, these forces gathered their strength, preparing to deliver a thunderous blow to the Zhou Family!
However, the team led by the Fifth Grand Elder showed no signs of stopping. They continued to attack and plunder the large resource points of various forces.
The various forces were on the verge of collapse. "Wait, Zhou Family, what are you doing? We've stopped attacking you, and you're still attacking us? Shouldn't we just go our separate ways now?"
If the Zhou Family experts could hear this, they would definitely say, "Bullshit! I want to mess with you, what are you going to do about it? Bite me!"
The top sacred lands and super forces lamented their plight, becoming incredibly busy.
The Zhou Family's targets were those forces that had openly attacked them. As for other forces, the Zhou Family simply ignored them.
This caused the onlookers and those waiting for an opportunity to breathe a sigh of relief, filled with lingering fear.
Even a starving camel is larger than a horse. Although the Savage Great Emperor was missing and two Supreme Beings and ten Saint King Great Perfection experts had perished, the Zhou Family was still not a force they could provoke.
Just as these forces were at a loss, a Forbidden Land Creature arrived at the Mystic Heaven Hegemony Sect. Ultimately, these forces reached an agreement with the forbidden land.
They would no longer send people to guard the large resource points, letting the Zhou Family plunder them. Once the Zhou Family was defeated, they would receive several times the rewards!
The Zhou Family's Fifth Grand Elder-led team advanced like a broken bamboo, capturing several large resource points. No one could stop them during this period.
The Fifth Grand Elder showed a look of surprise. These forces were so decisive. Unlike the Zhou Family, they did not possess multiple super resource points.
Each large resource point was very important to them. Losing even one would be devastating, let alone the fact that the Fifth Grand Elder's team specifically targeted those large resource points that were grand in scale and high in output.
The leaders of these forces had such courage; they must be brewing a major move, and one could not afford to be careless.
Besides the Zhou Family's team, there were also many rogue cultivators and demonic cultivators plundering these forces' resource points. However, they mostly targeted small and medium-sized resource points.
They dared not snatch food from the tiger's mouth when facing the Zhou Family's terrifying team. Even when plundering large resource points, they specifically chose those that were not large in scale and not high in output.
Such an opportunity was rare, occurring once in ten thousand years. Obtaining resources so easily was all thanks to the Zhou Family.
These rogue cultivators and demonic cultivators were overjoyed, while also marveling at the immense wealth of the top sacred lands and super forces, which made them envious.
These rogue cultivators and demonic cultivators lived in constant fear, not only worried about when their lives might be taken but also anxious about how to seize opportunities.
Now that heaven had bestowed such an opportunity upon them, they had to cherish it. These rogue cultivators and demonic cultivators swept through like a swarm of locusts, even more thoroughly than the Zhou Family's team. They were starving.
"With so many people, there's no way they'll find me," they thought.
That's what these rogue cultivators and demonic cultivators believed, but they didn't know that these factions had already marked them.
When the situation was resolved, they would settle the score. For every bit they had taken, they would be forced to return double.
Couldn't pay? Then they would leave their lives behind as debt!
