Chapter 971: Clash of Great Powers

The area around the explosion of light is one of the fixed battlefields where the Human Clancultivators of the Grand Dust World and the powerful demons of the Myriad Monster World engage in a grand battle.

On ordinary days, it's the Primordial Spirit True Monarchs of the Grand Dust World and the Monster Kings of the Myriad Monster World who engage in battles here.

The Fifth Rank great powers of both sides stay far away from the battlefield, providing cover for their own cultivators from a distance to avoid being at a disadvantage.

Unless necessary, great powers like Grandma Qiansi, who has achieved the Return to Emptiness stage, wouldn't easily venture into the vicinity.

Due to the tense situation here, the Human Clan and the demons have always been in a standoff.

If one is not careful and provokes a demon lord, it could lead to significant trouble.

The Fifth Rank experts among the demons are called demon lords, and they are entities capable of contending against the Return to Emptiness great powers of the Human Clan.

Grandma Qiansi isn't so much afraid of the demon lord as she is unwilling to partake in battles that hold no meaning.

Therefore, Grandma Qiansi remains hidden in the distance, allowing Lu Tianshu and his group to proceed towards the exploding light domain.

At this moment, through the perception of her dark umbrella, Grandma Qiansi becomes aware that Lu Tianshu and his group are under constant attack and are currently retreating.

Grandma Qiansi cannot simply ignore this situation; she has to take the risk and approach the vicinity of the explosion of light.

Her figure disappears from her original hiding place, and after a major shift, she reappears directly in the path of Lu Tianshu and his group's escape route.

At a glance, she recognizes that the pursuers are cultivators from the Guarding Sea Temple, causing Grandma Qiansi to furrow her brows.

Even though she's a Return to Emptiness great power, she's not willing to easily confront the Holy Land Sect head-on.

However, given the current circumstances, she can't pretend not to see.

Setting aside the fact that Lu Tianshu's current action is under her protection, her special relationship with the Sea Spirit Sect also compels her to act.With a thought, the black cloud formed by the black umbrella tightens, enveloping Lu Tianshu and his group, and then accelerates abruptly.

In the blink of an eye, the black cloud carrying Lu Tianshu and his group flies behind Grandma Qiansi.

The sudden change doesn't startle the Jiang Family brothers.

They turn their gaze in this direction and quickly spot Grandma Qiansi.

While Grandma Qiansi usually acts low-key and isn't one to show off, being a Return to Emptiness great power often means that even if she wants to maintain a low profile, she can't escape notice.

Whether in the Grand Dust World or within the Heavenly Palace, Grandma Qiansi is a prominent figure in many circles.

The Jiang Family brothers recognize Grandma Qiansi.In the intelligence from the Guarding Sea Temple, Grandma Qiansi has a close relationship with the Sea Spirit Sect and doesn't get along well with the Guarding Sea Temple.

If it were any other Primordial Spirit cultivator facing an intimidating Return to Emptiness great power, they would probably panic and flee as far as possible.

However, the Jiang Family brothers, being outstanding disciples of the Holy Land Sect, naturally carry an air of pride. Moreover, they possess a trump card bestowed upon them by their senior sect members.

Even if Grandma Qiansi intended to overpower them through her greater strength, they could withstand her to some extent.

"Grandma Qiansi, I respect you as a senior great power and offer you face," transmitted Jiang Shunyuan's voice from a distance.

Among the numerous Return to Emptiness great powers in the Heavenly Palace, Grandma Qiansi is known for her mild temperament and is not inclined towards unnecessary violence.

But no matter how mild her temperament, being ordered around by a mere Primordial Spirit junior has visibly altered her expression.

"Grandma Qiansi, this group of Sea Spirit Sect rogues are the ones who killed the disciples of my Guarding Sea Temple."

"I assume you wouldn't insist on protecting these culprits and insist on opposing my Guarding Sea Temple."

Jiang Shunyuan believed he had explained clearly, expecting Grandma Qiansi to understand the gravity of the situation.

The brothers didn't recognize Meng Zhang and his group's origins, assuming them to be cultivators or affiliates of the Sea Spirit Sect.

Meng Zhang and the others were practically unknown in the extraterritorial void, which could be considered beneficial, as staying unrecognized would spare them many troubles.

Otherwise, if Holy Land Sects like the Guarding Sea Temple were determined not to let them go, even if they managed to escape today, they wouldn't find peace in the future.

Grandma Qiansi couldn't be bothered with idle talk from juniors and simply revealed her true status.

With a sweeping gesture, the space around the Jiang Family brothers suddenly seemed to constrict, trapping them.

Grandma Qiansi didn't have any intention to kill; she merely wanted to give these presumptuous juniors a minor lesson.

Otherwise, others might consider this Return to Emptiness great power to be a pushover, allowing anyone to act insolently in her presence.

Irresistible forces surged from all directions, and the Jiang Family brothers felt an overwhelming sense of powerlessness.

Just as they were about to use the hidden trump cards on them, a stern shout resounded from a distance.

"You audacious old hag, daring to use your strength to bully the younger generation from my Guarding Sea Temple."Before the stern shout even subsided, a robust elderly man flew over from a distance.

The pressure around the Jiang Family brothers instantly dissipated, as if it had never existed.

The old man's hands danced, and the space around Grandma Qiansi began collapsing incessantly.

Amidst the collapsing space, peculiar forces emerged in waves. There were immense gravitational pulls and tremendous pressures, all relentlessly tugging at Grandma Qiansi from all directions.

"Old Sea and Sky Ghost, don't push your luck too far," Grandma Qiansi shouted in anger, her true fire ignited.

With a heavy stomp in the air, the collapsing space abruptly returned to normal.

Grandma Qiansi wasn't one to take blows without retaliation. Beside the old man she referred to as the Old Sea and Sky Ghost, spatial fissures materialized out of thin air, tearing the once-intact space into fragments.

Even a Return to Emptiness great power wouldn't allow the force of spatial cleaving to harm their physical body.

Rolling rumbles resounded within the surrounding void.

The entire space trembled violently, as if it were being torn apart.

Indeed, the might of a Return to Emptiness great power's attack was extraordinary. This was just a preliminary probe, and yet it carried such momentum.

Meng Zhang and his group were sheltered by the black umbrella, shielded from the residual effects of the great power's clash.

After the Guarding Sea Temple's Return to Emptiness great power acted, he employed spatial teleportation to move the Jiang Family brothers to a distance, taking them far away from the battlefield.

Although Grandma Qiansi was reluctant to engage in direct confrontation with the Guarding Sea Temple, they had pushed her to her limits. If she didn't respond now, she might be treated as weak and submissive.

Despite her inner reluctance, she unleashed her true abilities to battle the Guarding Sea Temple's Return to Emptiness great power.

The Guarding Sea Temple's Return to Emptiness great power was accustomed to acting domineeringly and didn't consider Grandma Qiansi a worthy adversary.

Grandma Qiansi's close connection with the Sea Spirit Sect had long been noticed by the Guarding Sea Temple.

It's just that before, there hadn't been an appropriate opportunity, and even the Guarding Sea Temple was cautious about inciting large-scale conflicts among Return to Emptiness great powers.

Now, having caught Grandma Qiansi red-handed by bullying the Guarding Sea Temple's juniors, if Grandma Qiansi failed to provide a satisfactory explanation today, she might find it difficult to extricate herself from this situation.
