The Ancestors... Ran Away?!

"An unfilial descendant has brought such a calamity upon himself."

"Our sect is now gone. We have already left with the sect's treasure trove. Do not grieve."

Just two short sentences.

But it was like a bolt from the blue.

Before Wu Fan could recover from the shock of his ancestor's empty shell, he noticed that the ancestor had "taken the sect's treasure vault and left."

At that moment, Wu Fan felt as if he had been struck by lightning.

Everything went black, and he staggered backward before collapsing to the ground with a thud.

"Ancestor... Ancestor..."

His eyes were lifeless, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

At this moment, there was no anger, no despair, and no grief.

Only...

Stupid!

The sect is in crisis! The patriarchs have actually fled?!

"Wu Fan!!!"

Outside, the elders roared angrily:

"Are you dead? I told you to go find the ancestor, why haven't you...?"

Before he could finish speaking...

Another loud bang followed.

The protective formation of the Mystic One Sect has completely collapsed.

In mid-air, countless elders, all severely injured, wore expressions of despair upon witnessing this scene.

"Ancestor, the sect is in grave danger, why haven't you taken action yet!"

An elder looked grief-stricken and indignant. The sect's protective formation had been broken; these people could truly do whatever they wanted now.

"Is my Mystic One Sect truly destined to perish like this?!"

Some elders even went from persevering to despair.

They couldn't understand why the patriarchs, whom the sect so carefully revered, would be so timid at this moment.

Don't you even have the courage to come out and fight?

Dongfang Jun also looked curious.

Even at this critical moment, the patriarchs of the Mystic One Sect were still able to remain calm.

However, the sect's protective formation has now been broken.

The rest is much easier.

"Go to their ancestral lands and find where their treasures are stored."

This trip has two purposes.

First, to avenge Dongfang Hong.

The other is to make up for the losses.

Since Mystic One Sect isn't taking the initiative, then they'll do it themselves.

Following Dongfang Jun's order, many powerful Dongfang Clan sprang into action.

On the other hand, although the elders of the Mystic One Sect still had the advantage in numbers, they were now in a situation that perfectly illustrated what it meant to be leaderless.

They persevered through all this, waiting for the ancestor to intervene, turn the tide, and resolve the crisis.

But now, even though the sect's protective formation has been broken, the patriarch still hasn't made a move.

There is an emotion called self-abandonment.

Even the sect's patriarch has backed down, what's the point of them holding on?

For a moment, the elders were unable to form any force to stop the powerful members of the Dongfang Clan who were rushing into the depths of the sect.

At this moment, Wu Fan walked out with a blank look in his eyes, looking completely lost.

Such a situation left not only the elders of the Mystic One Sect but also the members of the Dongfang Clan somewhat stunned.

Didn't we go to invite the ancestor?

This appearance... it's almost like someone...

At this moment, everyone suddenly noticed the sound coming from Wu Fan's trembling lips:

"It's over, the Mystic One Sect is finished."

"Our ancestors, not a single one is left, they all ran away..."

Both sides were taken aback by these words.

Immediately, an elder of the Mystic One Sect, enraged, spoke out:

"Bullshit! How could our ancestors betray us!"

As they were speaking, some powerful members of the Dongfang Clan bypassed Wu Fan and entered the area where the elders of the Mystic One Sect were located.

Meanwhile, the outside world is still filled with various disbeliefs.

After all, how could such a powerful top-tier force, even in its current predicament, possibly abandon its own sect and its back door?

Only Wu Fan seemed somewhat disoriented, as if he couldn't quite come to his senses.

A short while later, the first person to enter returned and came out.

"It's definitely empty inside."

As he spoke, the man also expressed some doubt:

"Moreover, there are two sentences carved on the ground."

As he spoke, a water mirror appeared in mid-air.

Everyone saw those two lines of text.

For a moment, the field fell silent.

The atmosphere, tense yet filled with despair, suddenly became quite eerie.

Even the three Transcendent Realm experts from the Dongfang Clan couldn't help but take a few more glances.

Having lived for so many years, this trip has truly broadened my horizons.

Are the patriarchs of the Mystic One Sect really this united in their actions?

Not a single one left?

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

The enraged elder of the Mystic One Sect shouted and then rushed straight towards where the ancestor was.

The powerful members of the Dongfang Clan did not stop them.

The current situation is truly...

However, judging from the reaction of this Mystic One Sect elder, we can see whether this matter is true or not.

A dozen or so breaths later.

A sound whistled through the long corridor:

Blanch!

"Etc."

Dongfang Jun suddenly realized the problem and looked at Wu Fan.

"Sect Treasury..."

Before he could finish speaking, Wu Fan took out a jade tablet and pointed in a direction.

Dongfang Jun remained silent for a moment.

This sudden cooperation caught him off guard.

At this moment, the strongest Transcendent Realm expert raised his hand and swept the token into it.

Then, following the scent on the token, he arrived at the location Wu Fan had indicated.

Rumble.

The ground shook violently.

At the same time, strong winds were blowing.

Large areas of mud and sand were scattered.

A huge crater quickly formed in the ground.

The numerous formations that existed within were completely unable to withstand the onslaught of his spear.

Soon, a massive, heavy gate, engraved with countless arrays, appeared as the group investigated.

And the sign fit perfectly into one of the recesses.

Rumble.

Then, the giant gate began to slowly open.

An elder of the Mystic One Sect suddenly realized something, and his expression changed.

Doesn't this activation require not only the token but also the presence of the sect leader and others?

At that moment, all the doors opened.

The scene inside was then fully revealed to everyone.

As a top-tier power that has existed for quite some time, the sect's treasury built by the Mystic One Sect is by no means small; in fact, it can be described as extremely large.

An extraordinary aura emanated from the treasure vault.

The shelves were arranged closely together, numbering in the thousands.

Looking at the shelf again...

Forehead.

Everyone present was stunned.

It was completely empty.

Like autumn winds sweeping away fallen leaves, or like a raging storm passing through.

The vast treasure trove of the sect, apart from its facade.

Not a single hair!

Countless elders of the Mystic One Sect suddenly felt a darkness before their eyes.

Our ancestors are gone.

The sect's treasure vault was completely empty.

It's gone, all gone!

Suddenly, they understood Wu Fan's feelings.

The members of the Dongfang Clan were also somewhat taken aback.

This is the first time I've encountered something like this in all my years of experience.

If it weren't for the reactions of these Mystic One Sect elders, they would have even suspected that this was a new construction by the Mystic One Sect elders to deceive them.

Dongfang Jun was also stunned for a moment.

But he quickly came to his senses and angrily said:

"What a formidable Mystic One Sect!"

"He's so decisive in his actions."

The Dongfang Clan wasn't there to watch the show.

In the current situation, Dongfang Hong cannot avenge his family, nor can he gain any benefit whatsoever.

How can one not be angry!

"Since that's the case, kill them!"

"From this day forward, the Mystic One Sect will cease to exist!"

He had barely finished speaking.

The powerful Dongfang Clan quickly came to their senses and realized the problem.

At that moment, everyone began to reactivate their energy.

Let them work for nothing; those people from the Mystic One Sect won't get away with it either!

Suddenly, a ray of light flew from afar and landed in front of Dongfang Jun.

"Experts from the Cloud Heaven Holy Land are heading here; at least six are at the Transcendent Realm."
