Chapter 311  : Gathering of Grandmasters

“General, the soldiers are already cleaning up the mess.”

Xu Qian stood in the middle, with four deputy generals next to him.

Deputy General Gu reported the current situation to Xu Qian. “Those from the Hidden Sect have been killed or captured. As for the people who were captured by the Hidden Sect to populate this island, we did not disturb them.”

“There is no need to hurt them. The camp of the Hidden Sect has been destroyed, let them live here.”

Xu Qian did not have much murderous intent.

“However, before leaving, I have to investigate carefully so that we won’t have anyone slipping through the net.”

Xu Qian said.

“General, don’t worry.”

Deputy General Gu responded.

“By the way, who performed the best among the seeds of the Core Sea Demon Sect?”

Xu Qian asked.

“Yu Qiao and Xu Ning.”

Deputy General Gu answered without hesitation.

“It really is those two…”

Xu Qian was not surprised at all. “Even if these two can’t compete for the position of sect master of the Core Sea Demon Sect, it shouldn’t be difficult for them to be an elder.”

“Okay, go and deal with the aftermath. Let all the soldiers rest here for three days. In three days, we will return.”

Xu Qian said.

“Yes, General.”

Deputy General Gu responded.

“Xu Ning!”

After the battle, Yu Qiao found Xu Ning again.

“I heard you captured an elder of the Hidden Sect alive?”

Yu Qiao asked.

“I was lucky to capture her. That person was injured and was chased by Deputy General Gu, so I took the opportunity to take advantage of the situation.”

Xu Ning responded.

“It seems that your performance in this mission to eliminate the Hidden Sect is the best.”

Yu Qiao’s mouth curved, but there was no jealousy in her tone.

“Although I have my fair share of merits, I am still far behind compared to you.”

Yu Qiao continued, “It seems that only Duan Chaomian can surpass you.”

Although the camp that Duan Chaomian went to destroy was different from theirs, with Duan Chaomian’s strength, he must have gained a lot.

“Xu Ning, I heard that you are the sect master of a small sect?”

Yu Qiao took the initiative to chat.

“Yes, my sect is called the Swallow Heron Sect.”

Xu Ning said, “I only rebuilt it two to three years ago.”

“If there is a chance, I will be a guest there.”

Yu Qiao said.

“You are welcome anytime.”

Xu Ning smiled.

“Huh?”

Just as they were making meaningless small talk, Xu Ning suddenly noticed that the clear sky above his head had become a little dim.

Yu Qiao also noticed this.

Whoosh!

Right at this moment, strong winds suddenly blew, and black clouds suddenly condensed on the entire island. Immediately, those cloud were visibly pressed down, as if they wanted to completely swallow the entire island.

‘What’s happening?’

Xu Ning felt the pressure on him increase drastically, as if something terrifying was approaching.

Yu Qiao also frowned as she realized that danger was approaching.

Soon after, the black clouds stopped descending. Those clouds were less than a hundred meters away from the ground.

A figure slowly descended from the black clouds.

This person exuded a heavy pressure. Even Xu Ning and Yu Qiao felt a little breathless looking at him.

On the island, ordinary dao realm masters felt that their bodies were not listening to their orders, while those below the dao realm were lying on the ground helplessly.

“This aura…”

Yu Qiao’s pupils contracted. “This is the power of a grandmaster!”

“Power of a grandmaster?”

Xu Ning’s heart tightened.

In State Wansheng, only the Duan imperial family’s Grandmaster had achieved such a realm.

But if he came, he wouldn’t pressure the forces of the Imperial Court like this.

“Could that person be Yu Zhiyin?”

Yu Qiao seemed to realize something.

“Yu Zhiyin?”

Xu Ning’s heart skipped a beat.

Xu Ning now had a good understanding of the Hidden Sect.

He knew that Yu Zhiyin was the founder of the Hidden Sect. He was the nominal sect master of the Hidden Sect, although he had not appeared for a long time.

There had been rumors in the outside world that Yu Zhiyin was a genius of the same generation as the Grandmaster of the Duan family. It could even be said that their aptitudes were comparable.

Over the years Yu Zhiyin had secluded himself, some people began to speculate that he might have broken through the dao realm bottleneck and reached the realm of a grandmaster as well.

Now it seemed that it might be true.

‘Could it be that Yu Zhiyin was alerted by the destruction of his sect?’

Xu Ning and Yu Qiao looked at each other.

“So easily annihilated…”

The figure stood in the air, looking down at the mess on the ground.

He was wearing a wide robe, and his long hair fluttered in the air. He had an otherworldly aura.

The person muttered to himself in a low voice, “Although the establishment of the Hidden Sect was an impromptu act, it is quite embarrassing to be in this situation…”

Just as Xu Ning and Yu Qiao guessed, this person was the founder of the Hidden Sect, Yu Zhiyin, who had disappeared for many years.

“In that case…”

Yu Zhiyin waved his hand.

The space below him stirred.

The hundreds of Imperial Court troops in that area were instantly annihilated without a sound.

‘So strong…’

Xu Ning and Yu Qiao were not far from the affected area. They saw everything.

They had a feeling that if they were the ones who suffered that blow, the result would be the same.

Yu Zhiyin waved his hand again.

“Stop!”

Xu Qian suddenly stepped forward at this moment.

He stood on the ground and looked up at Yu Zhiyin.

Although the heavy pressure made him feel fear and cracked the bones in his body, Xu Qian still gritted his teeth and stood up.

“Oh? Kid, you have his shadow on you.”

Yu Zhiyin looked down on Xu Qian, a peak dao realm ninth stage master, like a child.

“In that case, go to hell first!”

Yu Zhiyin raised his hand and a huge force descended down on Xu Qian.

However, at this critical moment, a golden light suddenly appeared in the black cloud.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

In the blink of an eye, the black clouds were dispersed, and a silver-haired teenager and a black-haired man confronted Yu Zhiyin.

Yu Zhiyin’s earlier attack was also negated.

“Oh? You guys are here too?”

Yu Zhiyin looked surprised.

‘It’s Master and the Core Sea Demon Lord!’

When Xu Qian saw this scene, he looked happy.

Xu Ning also confirmed the silver-haired teenager’s identity by his strength and by the fact that the Core Sea Demon Lord was beside him.

“Yu Zhiyin…”

Duan Huiye flicked his hands and the void around him trembled.

The next moment, three of them disappeared in the air.

Above the Endless Sea, three figures stood among the thunderclouds.

“Yu Zhiyin, you have really comprehended the second type of world origin and broke through the dao realm bottleneck!”

Duan Huiye looked at the man in front of him with a serious expression.

Beside him, Duan Huiyao, the Core Sea Demon Lord, had an even more serious expression.

“Duan Huiyao, Duan Huiyao, it’s been years since we last met.”

A look of satisfaction appeared on Yu Zhiyin’s face as he reunited with his old friends.
