Heavy Losses: 100 Million Lost
The war between the Pure Void Sect and the people of Yue State was in full swing. Wang Hao and Liu Hui were stationed in the Yue State royal palace, issuing orders to the Pure Void Sect disciples via Microchat, directing them to suppress the people.
Liu Hui frowned, staring at the mere eighty-six "Task Completed" replies in the Microchat group. The rest were silent. He couldn't help but ask in bewilderment:
"Senior Brother Wang, how come only these people completed the suppression mission? Could something have gone wrong?"
Wang Hao waved his hand confidently. "It's alright! These ants from Yue State are probably too scattered, and they haven't been able to find any trace of them yet, so they haven't replied."
Give them some time; I believe they can get it done.
After all, they were facing nothing more than mortal ants. Even if they possessed some cultivation, they would be helpless against us cultivators.
No sooner had he finished speaking than he received a Microchat request from Chen Yu. Upon answering, Wang Hao quickly replied:
"Sect Leader, our suppression of the Yue State people has begun to show results, and we will be able to completely complete the mission in a few more days."
"Wang Hao! How dare you lie to me like that!" Chen Yu's furious roar came through the Microchat video chat:
"You still claim to have completed the mission? Do you know the urgent report from the Soul Lamp Hall just now regarding the thousand disciples you led?"
"The soul lamps of 656 Golden Core Realm Nascent Soul Realm disciples have been extinguished. Is this the initial result you mentioned?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Hao was struck dumb, his face changed drastically, and he exclaimed in shock:
"Impossible! How could this be? They were just replying in the Microchat a moment ago, saying they had found traces of the Yue State people, how could they be dead in the blink of an eye?"
Could it be that other cultivation sects are secretly involved? Otherwise, how could so many disciples have been lost?
Chen Yu's face grew increasingly grim, and he angrily retorted, "No other sects intervened! Those ants you speak of are the true culprits who killed my sect's disciples."
It was our underestimation of the strength of the Yue State that led to this loss.
Go check the system's social media platforms yourself; there are already many videos circulating there showing people killing disciples of my Pure Void Sect.
The losses were so severe that you must bear primary responsibility!
He hung up the Microchat as soon as he finished speaking.
Wang Hao's eyes widened in shock, and he muttered to himself, "Impossible, how could this be? How could those ants possess such strength?"
They've only been bound to the system for a few decades; this is completely against the rules of cultivation.
Liu Hui heard everything clearly, his mind was buzzing, and he was completely stunned.
They originally thought suppressing the people of Yue State would be easy, but they never expected the losses to be so heavy.
As one of those in charge, he is naturally not without blame.
"Senior Brother Wang, what should we do now?"
Wang Hao snapped out of his reverie at the question and said in a deep voice, "We no longer need to stay in the palace; we must take action ourselves."
This would both minimize losses and quickly suppress those ants; otherwise, it would be even more difficult to explain to the sect later.
"Alright! Let's work together and not give those people another chance."
Liu Hui nodded emphatically, and before he finished speaking, he leaped up and flew away with Wang Hao into the distance.
Inside the main hall of the Heavenly Revelation Sect.
Lin Nan scrolled through videos on the system's social media platform of Yue State citizens killing Pure Void Sect disciples, and a look of relief appeared on his face.
Based on these videos, it can be roughly estimated that the Pure Void Sect lost at least five hundred disciples.
However, the people of Yue State were not suppressed much, truly a case of losing both wife and army.
Fortunately, I didn't become the one to stick my neck out; it's always better to act cautiously.
He looked up at the ten elders in the hall, a smile playing on his lips, and spoke:
"This time, Pure Void Sect not only failed to steal a chicken but also lost its rice instead. Not only did it suffer heavy losses, but its reputation among the system hosts was also completely ruined."
It seems unlikely they will be able to recruit any more disciples in the future; their decline is inevitable.
Lan Sheng clapped his hands and laughed, "Hahaha! The Pure Void Sect has always been domineering, and they still look at the mortal world with old eyes, but they don't know that times have already changed."
They're falling behind the times; they'll be eliminated sooner or later.
Song Wei nodded in agreement. "This battle between the Pure Void Sect and the people of Yue State has served as a reminder to us."
We must keep up with the times and stop treating ordinary people as the uncultivated A Mortal of the past.
Wang Bo sighed softly, "The strength of the mortal realm is probably far greater than we thought."
Watching the Yue State people slaughtering Pure Void Sect disciples with hoes and sickles, I felt like I was dreaming; I couldn't believe it was real.
Lin Nan nodded and said, "From now on, our Heavenly Revelation Sect must treat people in the mortal world equally, and we must never again regard them as ants."
Otherwise, if we were to slip up one day, we might end up following in the footsteps of the Pure Void Sect.
The ten elders inside the hall responded in unison, "The sect leader is wise!"
At the same time, a terrifying scream suddenly rang out inside the residence of the candidate holy son of the Heavenly Revelation Sect:
"No! How dare those idiots get involved in suppressing the people of Yue State?"
Utterly hopelessly stupid! Having been bound to the system for so long, don't they know there are countless masters hidden in the mortal realm?
They still dare to stubbornly force their way in; is the Pure Void Sect's stupidity contagious?
I lost nearly 100 million Energy Points! You bastards, give me back my Energy Points!
Qian Duoduo looked frantic and heartbroken.
He never expected that the system hosts of the Pure Void Sect would be so stupid, causing his years of hard work to go down the drain in one fell swoop.
"We must never lend Energy Points to the Pure Void Sect again."
These guys are absolutely stupid. It would be one thing if one person did something stupid, but 65 of them are doing it too. Who would believe they weren't infected by stupidity?
This is heartbreaking! No, I have to tell the rest of them right away. They absolutely mustn't do anything foolish again; my heart can't take it.
As he spoke, he suddenly opened the Microchat group and launched into a frenzy of messages:
"Listen to me, all of you, don't be foolish enough to participate in the suppression of the Yue State people."
Otherwise, your deaths are a minor matter; you'll have to repay me the Energy Points you owe me first.
The message had barely been sent when someone replied, "Fellow Daoist Qian, don't worry, I'm not one of those fools. I escaped the Pure Void Sect long ago; I don't want to be dragged down by those idiots."
Even the 'affiliated faction' in my system's personal center has been unbound from the Pure Void Sect; I am now a person without a sect or faction.
Someone else asked eagerly, "I escaped too! How did you unbind the Pure Void Sect from the system?"
"Hehe, just report it to the system directly," the person replied.
"Those idiots from the Pure Void Sect are acting in a way that is tantamount to provoking the Fairness System. They might be forcibly unbound by the system in the future, or even be directly given a mission to be wiped out."
I don't want to die with them; I want to become an immortal.
Seeing this, someone else exclaimed anxiously, "Damn it! I'm still in the Pure Void Sect, I have to escape quickly, or something really might happen!"
"Those words were a wake-up call. I had to escape too!"
"What a terrible loss! After working like a slave to the outer sect for so long, I haven't even enjoyed the benefits for long before I'm being dragged down to death by these idiots from the Pure Void Sect."

Qian Duoduo stared blankly at the messages flooding the group chat.
I never imagined it could be done this way; I've really learned something new today.
He breathed a slight sigh of relief; it seemed the Energy Points he had lent out could be saved.
But then he thought of the nearly 100 million Energy Points he had lost, and his heart ached again.
No, I'm so upset, I need to make Little Yellow feel sorry for me too.
