But because it took too long, they missed the optimal time to retreat.
By the time they finished plundering the cave and came out, Zhou Chun and the others had almost completely withdrawn from the Black Dragon Branch Temple Gate.
As a result, cultivators like Wang Zhixiong, who were too late to retreat, were doomed.
In the ensuing purge by the returning Dragon Transformation Sect cultivators, most of them lost their lives, with only a very few, like Wang Zhixiong who had multiple life-saving tricks up his sleeve, barely managing to escape by clinging to the tail end of the retreating army.
Originally, the Wang Family and Sun Family had a total of eight Foundation Establishment cultivators, but in the end, only Wang Zhixiong managed to escape, with even the Clan Leader of Sun Family, Sun Zhongping, failing to get out.
This blow was extraordinarily heavy for both the Wang Family and Sun Family.
