Starting as a Grandmaster, all of my cultivation techniques are at max level.

The moment that golden light shone was dazzling.

Together with the slowly setting "sun" above, it occupied the entire sky's color.

The supreme pressure contained within the golden light made it seem as if a celestial being was about to descend upon the Guiyi Sect, causing everyone present to shudder. However, they felt no worry whatsoever; instead, they breathed a sigh of relief.

Because all the disciples of the Guiyi Sect knew that their sect leader had finally appeared.

"presumptuous!"

A furious roar exploded, and the terrifying sound waves caused the clouds around Xia Jin to fly backward.

"Who on earth dares to destroy my Guiyi Sect!"

"Hmm!?" A glint flashed in Xia Jin's eyes as she locked her gaze on the source of the golden light.

From the depths of the back mountain of the Guiyi Sect, a burly figure strode out. With each step he took, spiderweb-like cracks appeared in the void beneath his feet. Bathed in golden light, he resembled a legendary golden-armored war god, awe-inspiring and possessing overwhelming power.

This person is none other than Ning He, the sect leader of Guiyi Sect and the strongest person in Guiyi Sect!

Ning He walked out of the back mountain, looked up at the "sun" that was falling, and a fierce look flashed in his eyes.

"This person who made this move does have some skill!" He vaguely guessed the strength of his opponent, but his movements were swift and decisive. The ground beneath his feet collapsed, and the next second, he appeared directly beneath the "sun".

The right fist strikes straight out.

Golden lightning condensed on Ning He's right fist, and a golden beam of light struck the "sun" directly.

"Hmm!? To actually condense spiritual energy to this extent, truly worthy of being a top-tier powerhouse." Xia Jin stared at the other party with great interest.

A loud bang was heard.

The golden fist energy collided with the white flames, turning the area within hundreds of miles of the Guiyi Sect into daylight. The terrifying brightness forced everyone within a hundred miles to close their eyes.

Then, something shocking happened.

The falling "sun" was abruptly deflected by this punch, gradually veering off its trajectory and flying away from the Guiyi Sect.

Xia Jin watched this scene, her eyes narrowed slightly, and her relaxed expression turned serious.

"Huh? Very good! This kind of opponent is worthy of being my opponent now."

His voice carried a hint of admiration, but that admiration quickly turned into a cold laugh.

"But do you think that's all?"

Xia Jin raised his hand and snapped his fingers lightly. Then, he uttered a single word indifferently: "Shatter."

The "sun" that was slowly moving away from the Guiyi Sect suddenly expanded violently. White flames surged wildly, and its volume instantly increased several times.

"Not good!!" Ning He, the sect leader of Guiyi Sect, changed his expression. He made a hugging gesture with his arms towards the "sun" in the sky. Golden lightning surged out wildly, like a large net, trying to surround the "sun".

Unfortunately, it was all too late; the golden lightning hadn't even had time to envelop the entire "sun."

Under Xia Jin's control, the "sun" exploded.

Countless fragments of flame, each tens of feet in size, rained down upon the Guiyi Sect below like a meteor shower.

Those fiery fragments carried a terrifying aura, moving at incredible speed and possessing astonishing power.

In an instant, the Guiyi Sect was transformed into a fiery mountain, with flames soaring into the sky, thick smoke billowing, and screams echoing everywhere.

"asshole!"

Seeing this scene, Ning He couldn't help but roar wildly, clearly furious to the extreme.

The fire must be extinguished quickly, otherwise the Guiyi Sect will become history.

He quickly glanced around, and the next second, his burly figure appeared directly in front of the huge lake at the foot of Guiyi Sect Mountain.

Ning He took a deep breath and punched the lake water in the direction of Guiyi Sect.

The entire lake was swept up by the force of this punch, transforming into a massive, all-encompassing curtain of water that swept towards the Guiyi Sect.

"rise!"

Ning He roared, and the water curtain, like a giant hand, enveloped the entire Guiyi Sect.

The flames turned into steam upon contact with water. A few breaths later, white mist filled the air, completely enveloping the entire Guiyi Sect, with only occasional wisps of thick smoke rising from below.

Even though Ning He acted quickly enough, at least half of the Guiyi Sect's mountain gate buildings were reduced to ruins.

Ning He hovered in the void, looking around with a terribly gloomy expression.

His divine sense spread out in all directions like mercury spilling onto the ground, and he could vaguely sense that the person who made the move was probably nearby.

Three breaths later

Suddenly, Ning He frowned.

His gaze was fixed intently on one direction.

Not far from him in the void, another figure appeared out of nowhere.

The person opposite him, wearing a bronze mask, had long purple hair that swayed gently in the night breeze. He stood there quietly, yet Ning He felt a surge of extreme danger in his heart.

A murderous glint flashed in Ning He's eyes, but he quickly suppressed it. He took a deep breath, forcing back his anger, and spoke in a low voice.

"Sir, have Ning He and my Guiyi Sect offended you in any way? Why are you attacking and destroying my sect today?"

Images flashed through his mind, but none of them resembled the person in front of him.

Strange, he should have never seen this person before, so why would the other party suddenly attack the Guiyi Sect?

Ning He frowned, but he didn't make a move. Instead, he scanned the other person up and down. He couldn't see through the man in front of him.

The person standing before him emitted not a trace of spiritual energy, appearing just like an ordinary person. But Ning He knew in his heart, how could someone who could stand before a ninth-level Great Power Realm expert without any pressure be an ordinary person?

Who is that face hidden behind the mask?

Xia Jin looked at Ning He's unpredictable expression and chuckled.

"Sect Leader Ning, please don't misunderstand. There is no enmity between us."

"No grudges or enmities!? You almost destroyed my Guiyi Sect with just one sentence: no grudges or enmities!!" The veins on Ning He's forehead bulged and throbbed. If he hadn't been unaware of Xia Jin's background, he probably would have already smashed the other party into a pulp with a single punch.

"Sect Leader Ning, please don't misunderstand. Today's actions were indeed somewhat abrupt. However, if we didn't do this, it would be difficult to let you out of seclusion." Xia Jin's voice came from under the mask, with a hint of lazy laughter.

"I heard you're in seclusion attempting to break through to the Saintly Realm. I'd like to learn a few moves from you and exchange some insights. So, my current actions are out of necessity. I believe Sect Master Ning will understand, right?"

Xia Jin's words made Ning He almost unable to contain his anger.

He, Ning He, is the dignified sect leader of the Guiyi Sect, a peerless expert at the ninth level of the Great Power Realm, and is currently striving to attain the Saintly Position.

He was actually forced out of his seclusion by a cowardly fellow.

The reason given by the other party was simply that they wanted to learn a few moves from me?

For this absurd reason, half of his sect was destroyed and countless disciples were injured.

"Fellow Daoist wishes to learn a few moves, is that it?" Ning He's face was terribly gloomy.

"Since that's the case, then I'll grant your wish, fellow Daoist! But I hope that if I accidentally lose control, you won't blame me!"
