At the foot of Qiankunzong Mountain, beside a winding mountain path, a simple thatched hut stands quietly, surrounded by ancient trees that block out the sun, making it exceptionally serene.

In front of the thatched hut, an elderly man with white hair lay on an old bamboo recliner.

The old man was dressed in coarse linen clothes, covered with patches, and his face was etched with the lines of time. He squinted his eyes, seemingly enjoying this rare moment of tranquility.

A gentle breeze rustled the leaves, and several unidentified birds chirped merrily in the branches; everything seemed so peaceful.

Suddenly, the white-haired old man frowned slightly, and he slowly opened his eyes. A glint of light flashed in his cloudy eyes.

His gaze slowly shifted to the entrance of the mountain path.

Then, a figure was seen slowly walking along the mountain path.

He was a young man dressed in black, with a tall and straight posture, like a javelin, giving people a sharp feeling.

His steps were neither hurried nor slow, each step seemed to have been precisely measured, steady and powerful.

His face was expressionless, cold and calm, as if nothing in this world could move him.

It was Qin Yang!

The white-haired old man looked at Qin Yang, his pupils suddenly contracted, and a storm of emotions surged within him.

"Why...why is he here?"

The old man gasped inwardly and almost jumped up from his recliner.

He is no ordinary gatekeeper, but one of the elders of the Qiankun Sect, Li Xiu!

His strength had already reached the Saint Realm, and he held a high position and great power within the sect.

This time, his assignment to guard the mountain gate was actually a secret arrangement by the sect leader.

The sect leader and elders of the Qiankun Sect went out in full force to intercept and kill Qin Yang.

Li Xiu's task was to wait here and watch for Qin Yang to escape, or for any unexpected events to occur.

However, he never expected that Qin Yang would actually appear here!

And it was just one person!

what does that mean?

Li Xiu dared not think any further.

He already had a bad feeling.

The sect leader and elders... are probably in grave danger!

"This...how is this possible?"

Li Xiu was utterly horrified; he could hardly believe his eyes.

The sect leader and elders are the most elite fighting force of the Qiankun Sect!

If they join forces, they would be able to put up a fight even against the leaders of other top sects.

How could I possibly... lose to a young man?

Moreover, they were defeated so thoroughly that they didn't even have a chance to escape.

Li Xiu's heart was filled with doubt, shock, and fear.

But he was, after all, a Saint Realm expert who had experienced countless trials and tribulations, and his temperament was far beyond that of ordinary people.

He suppressed his fear and tried his best to remain calm.

He knew that he absolutely could not panic now.

Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.

He had to find out exactly what had happened.

"call……"

Li Xiu took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

He looked at Qin Yang and gave a forced smile.

He decided to test Qin Yang first.

"Young friend, please wait a moment."

Li Xiu's voice was somewhat hoarse and trembling, but he tried his best to remain calm.

"This is the mountain gate of the Qiankun Sect. Unauthorized personnel are not allowed to enter."

"Please leave quickly, young friend, lest you bring trouble upon yourself."

As Li Xiu spoke, he secretly observed Qin Yang's reaction.

He hoped that Qin Yang was just passing through or didn't know that this was the Qiankun Sect.

In this way, he could get rid of Qin Yang and avoid a conflict.

However, Li Xiu was disappointed.

Qin Yang's face remained expressionless.

His eyes remained cold and indifferent.

He looked at Li Xiu as if he were looking at a dead man.

"Today, the Qiankun Sect will be wiped out!"

Qin Yang spoke coldly.

Upon hearing this, Li Xiu flew into a rage, his beard bristling with anger, like weeds dancing wildly in the wind.

"Arrogant!"

He roared, his voice echoing across the surrounding area, causing the leaves of the trees around him to fall in a rustling sound.

He suddenly stood up from the recliner, and a powerful aura burst forth from him, like a prehistoric beast awakening.

"Qin Yang, do you really think you're invincible?!"

Li Xiu gritted his teeth, each word seemingly squeezed out from between his teeth, filled with anger and murderous intent.

"I admit, you're quite capable, managing to kill so many people from my Qiankun Sect!"

His voice was deep and hoarse, like two rough stones rubbing against each other, making people feel uncomfortable.

"But do you really think my Qiankun Sect is made of clay?!"

Li Xiu's eyes were fixed on Qin Yang, his gaze filled with resentment and madness.

"Our Qiankun Sect has stood strong for a thousand years, and that's not just because of the sect leader and elders!"

He suddenly flicked his sleeve, and a gust of wind rose from the ground, causing the surrounding trees to sway and tilt.

"How could a mere brat like you possibly comprehend the depth and power of my Qiankun Sect?!"

Li Xiu's voice grew louder and sharper, as if it were about to pierce people's eardrums.

"Today, I will show you the true power of my Qiankun Sect!"

A sinister smile appeared on his face, making him look extremely terrifying.

He had made up his mind to kill Qin Yang here at all costs.

Even if it costs me my life, I would not hesitate!

Qin Yang looked at Li Xiu with a disdainful sneer on his face.

"foundation?"
