This earth-shattering event in the Yue State quickly topped the trending lists on major social media platforms and spread rapidly among the system's hosts.

As more and more people in Yue State learned that the Pure Void Sect was going to take 70% of the Energy Points, they were furious.

But then he realized that his cultivation level was too low to contend with such a behemoth as the Pure Void Sect.

He then followed the example of the Yue Household and their officials, picking up his belongings and rushing towards the border of Yue State.

Although he couldn't bear to part with his family business in Yue State, compared to staying behind to be someone's slave with no hope in sight, this family business was ultimately nothing.

At this time, Little Yellow, who had been spending a lot of time on the system's social platform, also came across the news of the changes in the Yue State.

Its face darkened, and it couldn't help but worry about the impact of this turn of events, but it was powerless to do anything about it, so it could only sigh helplessly:

"Alas! Master has been in seclusion for another three years, and the time spent in seclusion is getting longer and longer these days."

Such a major event has occurred in the Yue State; it might prematurely ignite a conflict between the Dao Seed Martial Dao System and the Immortal Cultivation System.

Although it was worried, it dared not disturb Liu Yi's seclusion and could only watch helplessly.

Then I clicked on the trending topic "Pure Void Sect forcibly confiscated 70% of the Energy Points of the people of Yue State" and browsed the comments section.

"Has the Pure Void Sect gone mad with greed for Energy Points? Do they really think the people of Yue State are still ordinary A Mortal?"

"I had heard that the Pure Void Sect acted domineeringly before, but I never expected them to be this crazy and domineering."

They do things that other cultivation sects wouldn't dare to touch; they're practically a crazy sect.

"The funny thing is, when the Emperor of Yue State and all his officials heard the order, they all ran away and dared not carry it out at all."

"Who would be so reckless as to carry out such an outrageous order? If they dared to say it in front of the people, they'd probably be beaten to death on the spot."

"The people of Yue State are fleeing now, and it won't be long before Yue State is empty."

"Hmph, the Pure Void Sect forced me to leave my hometown. From now on, I will kill every Pure Void Sect disciple I see."

Once my cultivation level is high enough, I will definitely destroy their sect.

"That's right! Although I'm not a citizen of Yue State, I now find the Pure Void Sect distasteful. From now on, I'll kill every single disciple of that sect I see."

On the border of Yue State, a dark mass of people, dragging their families along, hurriedly fled using their Movement Method.

In the sky, streaks of light streaked across the heavens, all of them people fleeing the Yue State.

Suddenly, a sharp shout rang out, "You ants in front, stop right there! Obediently retreat to the Yue State, or don't blame me for being impolite."

But the people of Yue State seemed not to hear, their steps unwavering as they continued their rapid march toward the border.

Seeing this, Lin Ming's eyes flashed with cold light. He made a hand Method Formula, gripped a low-grade Spirit Artifact sword, and slashed at the people at the front.

The people in front sensed the sharp Sword Qi behind them and turned around in alarm to defend themselves, only to see a person suddenly leap out from the crowd.

The man held a hoe, and with a seemingly ordinary swing, he shattered the Sword Qi into pieces.

Immediately afterwards, he flipped his wrist and swung the hoe at Lin Ming again. The shadow of the hoe instantly expanded, transforming into an energy hoe hundreds of meters long, which pressed down with the sound of wind breaking.

"Hmph! Your Pure Void Sect has gone too far! Today you shall die here!"

"No... impossible! How could you ants possess such strength?"

You can't kill me. If you kill me, you'll completely offend the Pure Void Sect.

Lin Ming was both shocked and frightened. He begged for mercy while frantically swinging his spirit sword, unleashing sharp Sword Qi in an attempt to block the attack.

"Bang! Bang!"

The hoe struck with unstoppable force, shattering the Sword Qi directly, its remaining power striking Lin Ming.

"Bang!"

With a muffled thud, Lin Ming was shattered into pieces like soil in a field, dying instantly.

The man glanced down at the people on the ground and shouted, "What are you all standing there for? Run!"

"Thank you for your help Uncle Sun! We'll be going now."

The people on the ground were filled with gratitude. They quickly responded and, once again using their Movement Method, fled towards the border without looking back.

On another border of the Yue State, a major battle also broke out.

Four commoners at the Peak of the Dao Seed Realm, each wielding a sickle, hoe, hammer, and bow and arrow, were jointly attacking Zhang Meng, Early Nascent Soul Realm cultivator from the Pure Void Sect.

Blade energy pierced the air, hoes chopped down, and arrows shot through the clouds—a barrage of attacks rained down on Zhang Meng, forcing him to retreat repeatedly.

These commoners used tricky tactics that Zhang Meng had never seen before, leaving him struggling to cope and unable to gain the upper hand.

Zhang Meng his spirit sword to block a wave of attacks, and threatened sharply, "How dare you! You dare to besiege me! Once my reinforcements arrive, you will all die without a burial place!"

Upon hearing this, the four exchanged a glance, and their attack became even more urgent and fierce.

Wang Tie swung his iron hammer, sending a whooshing sound as it struck Zhang Meng, and roared angrily:

"I originally just wanted to be an old blacksmith, doing blacksmithing and drinking tea in my spare time, living a peaceful life."

But your Pure Void Sect is going too far. Since you won't let me live a peaceful life, then I'll treat you like scrap metal and hammer you up."

"That's right!" Liu Ping swung his hoe and chopped down.

"I just wanted to farm peacefully, but you all insisted on interfering. Since you won't let me farm, then I'll plant you in the ground first."

Zhang Meng's face flushed with anger, and he shouted angrily, "You rebellious people! My Pure Void Sect only collects 70% of the Energy Points, not all of them!"

This is already an extraordinary act of mercy, and instead of being grateful, you dare to rebel? You are truly audacious and courting death.

"What an extraordinary act of mercy!"

Wang Tie's hammer never stopped; he used all the skill and brute force he had accumulated from his daily blacksmithing, and each strike made Zhang Meng's Qi and Blood surge.

"Only you could utter such shameless words! You must die here today!"

Lan Yuan, a former hunter, held a bow and arrow, and a rain of arrows rained down on Zhang Meng.

Suddenly, a glint flashed in his eyes. He took out a specially made hunting net, flicked his wrist, and the net whistled out, firmly trapping Zhang Meng inside.

Zhang Meng was trapped in the hunting net. His expression changed drastically, and in desperation, he swung his spirit sword to shatter the net.

But before his sword could fall, Wang Tie, Liu Ping, and the others launched their attack like a whirlwind.

Three attacks crashed down on him, instantly obliterating his body and soul.

The four exchanged a glance, quickly tidied up the scene, and then leaped into the air, flying rapidly towards the border.

On the other side, Liang Feixiang was traveling at high speed towards the border of Yue State with his wife and three children, the oldest of whom was no more than six years old.

Suddenly, a whooshing sound came from behind him. His expression changed drastically, and he shouted urgently:

"The cultivators from the Pure Void Sect are chasing after us; it's too late to escape the Yue State."

Ting'er, you take the children and hide in the mountains ahead. I'll go stop him and buy you some time.

Li Ting's eyes were full of worry as she gripped his sleeve and said in a trembling voice:

"Husband, those pursuers are imposing and likely Nascent Soul cultivators. You, at the Dao Seed Realm Nascent Soul Realm, are no match for them."

"How about we don't run away? We've already handed over 70% of the Energy Points. My children and I can't live without you."

Liang Feixiang shook his head violently, his tone resolute. "No way! I've been a beggar kneeling for half my life, and it's only thanks to the Fairness System that I can stand up straight."

If I kneel down now, I'll never be able to stand up again.

I refuse to kneel, even if it kills me, and I will never let my children kneel with me.

Take them away quickly, raise them well, and tell them that their father was once tough enough.

"Okay, I'll listen to you. You must come back alive."

Looking at his resolute face, tears welled up in Li Ting, but she forced back her sobs, picked up the three children, and ran quickly into the deep mountains.

"Father! I want my father!"

The children's heart-wrenching cries drifted on the wind behind Liang Feixiang, making his heart tighten, yet he still didn't turn around even a step.

"Kill! I changed my name from Liang Er to Liang Feixiang, because I want to soar through the nine heavens. Even the Pure Void Sect will never make me kneel again."

With a furious roar, Liang Feixiang, wielding an iron rod, transformed into a streak of light and charged straight at the Pure Void Sect cultivators who were chasing after him.

"Boom!"

The battle erupted instantly. Although Liang Feixiang focused on stalling and delaying, he ultimately could not stop his opponent.

One of his legs was severed, and his heart was pierced by a flying sword. He fell to the ground, his blood instantly staining the soil beneath him.

"Those ignorant ants have wasted so much of my time."

The Pure Void Sect cultivator snorted coldly, glanced at him, and transformed into a streak of light, flying straight ahead.

But with his last shred of willpower, Liang Feixiang slowly managed to sit up.

He struggled to prop up his swaying body with an iron bar, his mind racing with images:

He endured hunger and cold while begging on the streets, but after the Fairness System, he was finally able to eat his fill, no longer had to be a beggar, and was even able to practice martial arts. Later, he married and had children...

Scenes flashed by, his hand stretched futilely in the direction his wife and children had gone, his voice weak yet each word clear:

"I, Liang Feixiang... refuse to kneel any longer... I want to... soar through the heavens..."

Such scenes played out repeatedly throughout the Yue State, with fierce battles erupting one after another.

The Yue State was one of the places where the system spread relatively early, and many Dao Seed Realm cultivators, and even Dao Image Realm cultivators, had long been hidden among the people.

They appear to be just honest, hardworking farmers, tending their own fields.

This time, however, they all picked up their farming tools and fought against the people of the Pure Void Sect.

The Golden Core Realm disciples of the Pure Void Sect perished one after another in their resistance, and even many Nascent Soul Realm cultivators were killed in this battle.

Many Yue State people, finding it difficult to escape in the short term, simply hid in the deep mountains Old Lin.

With the system at his disposal, he had no worries about food, drink, or other necessities. He planned to lay low for a while and then escape from Yue State.
