"But you can cultivate here in the sect, and when you''re strong enough, you can destroy the Shura Pce," Yunlin said stubbornly.


    "You know I can''t. Even if the Sect Master truly protects me, he can''t watch over me 24/7," Fang Yu said with a slightugh.


    "But you..."


    Seeing her eyes welling up, Fang Yu couldn''t help butfort her:


    "Don''t worry. When I do something, it''s because I''m sure of it. And when Ie back, next time we meet, you''ll have to greet me as the new elder of the sect."


    Yunlin couldn''t help but let out a smallugh at Fang Yu''s words. Then she was suddenly embraced, her face flushing a bit, as she heard Fang Yu''s voice in her ear:


    "Don''t worry. I promise I''ll return."


    "Do you promise?"


    "Yes, I promise!"


    ...


    "Brother Yu, wait! Take this with you to remember me while you''re away."


    As Fang Yu was about to leave the sect, Yunlin''s sweet voice called out to him. He turned around and saw her offering a delicate hairpin.


    Fang Yu smiled faintly, gently touched the girl''s head, and tucked the hairpin into his robe. Looking into her eyes, he said with a calm smile:


    "Don''t worry, Yunlin. When I return, I''ll give this hairpin back to you."


    ...


    In that moment, Fang Yu returned to reality and saw the colossal energy sword cutting through everything in its path, so gigantic that it seemed to be destroying space itself and the void around it.


    But just as Song Yang''s sword was about to hit him, something gleamed beneath his chest, inside his cloak. A celestial blue force field emerged,pletely enveloping a meter around him.


    BOOM! BOOM!


    The impact of the giant sword was immense. As it passed through the force field, its devastating power continued to annihte everything in front of it.


    Mountains werepletely obliterated, and all life within them was erased by the fury of Song Yang''s attack.


    "Is this my full power?" Song Yang murmured, surprised to see the area turned to ashes by his attack. If he had used this strike in Beiyang City, he could have destroyed the entire city.


    Using his divine sense, he realized that even some small cities in the Yin Realm nearby werepletely obliterated.


    ''Soon, many powerful beings wille to investigate.''


    Song Yang thought that theaura fluctuations generated by the attack were felt throughout the Land of the Hundred Realms.


    Even some ancient monsters from the Sacred Land might have detected these energy waves and would likely send someone to investigate.


    After all, in an area without even a real realm, fluctuations surpassing the level of a Saint King would not go unnoticed.


    But as he was about to confirm Fang Yu''s death and leave quickly, he couldn''t help but remain cautious.


    After all, besides the system not marking the mission asplete, the mere fact that Fang Yu was a child of destiny was enough reason for Song Yang to be cautious.


    "I know you... you are Song Yang!"


    "So, you didn''t disappear but instead became a member of the Shura Pce."


    Fang Yu, half-kneeling on the ground due to theimpact but intact thanks to the protection of the force field, which now had arge scratch, finally managed to see who had attacked him.


    He couldn''t help but be surprised to recognize the young man before him.


    After all, even he had heard of this genius who reached the Saint Realm before the age of 30!


    At the same time, Fang Yu looked at the hairpin that had released the force field protecting him. He couldn''t help but think, with asmile: ''Yulin, it seems I owe you another life.''


    Although he didn''t know how Yulin had managed to obtain a hairpin capable of withstanding such a powerful attack—after all, even with the Qiankun Sect''s background, a treasure like that was extremely rare—he couldn''t help but feel a warmth in his heart for her giving him such a valuable gift.


    "Oh, you didn''t die?"


    "Ah, I see."


    Song Yang, surprised to see Fang Yupletely unharmed after receiving his attack with his full strength, finally understood upon noticing the hairpin.


    "It turns out this hairpin is a high-grade defensive sacred weapon."


    As he thought this, Song Yang couldn''t help but sigh, realizing that a child of destiny really wouldn''t be easily eliminated.


    "Although this hairpin might have saved your life once, how many times do you think it can protect you?"


    "Besides, you''re mistaken about one thing. I didn''t join the Shura Pce… I am the Shura Pce."


    "After all, I''m the one who founded it!"


    After speaking with a malicious smile, Song Yang released his Sacred Domain of the Five Elements once again, along with his fifthyer sword intent, preparing to attack once more.


    After all, even though it was a high-grade sacred weapon, the hairpin had already been damaged in thest attack.


    Song Yang was sure that with three more full-strength strikes, he could destroy it.


    Thinking about the mysterious system reward, he couldn''t help but feel a bit anxious.


    "Shura Pce Master, right? Remember my name: Fang Yu."


    "I will personally kill you and destroy your Shura Pce in the future."


    Upon hearing such arrogant words, Song Yang almost started tough, since it''s usually he who speaks arrogantly, not someone who is about to be killed.


    But soon his expression changed. "This is not good!"


    Because, after finishing his speech, Fang Yu took something from his spatial ring: a Void Destroyer Talisman!


    Seeing that Fang Yu was about to crush the talisman and escape, Song Yang considered whether he should use the imperial artifact, even though he knew that it would likely alert the entire continent.


    After all, to destroy that hairpin with a single attack, unless he used the Phoenix Blood Sword, it would be impossible!


    But, while he was thinking, Fang Yu had already crushed the talisman and disappeared from the location, leaving only his arrogant words:


    "Remember my name, the name of the one who wille to reap your life!"
