Setelah perbincangan yang panjang dan emosional tentang identitasnya, Che Su memutuskan untuk mengantarkan Zhou Xin kembali ke Sekte Dao Xiang. Meskipun sempat ragu karena konflik yang terjadi sebelumnya, Zhou Xin meyakinkan Che Su bahwa ia bisa menyelesaikan masalahnya dengan sektenya sendiri.
Namun, saat mereka tiba di gerbang sekte Dao Xiang, pemandangan yang tidak terduga menyambut mereka. Beberapa tetua sekte, termasuk Elder Mo Qing, sudah berdiri menunggu dengan ekspresi dingin.
Mo Qing menyipitkan matanya, lalu berkata dengan nada penuh kecurigaan, "Ternyata kau yang telah menculik Zhou Xin."
Zhou Xin buru-buru melangkah maju, mencoba menjelaskan, "Tetua, ini hanya salah paham. Sebenarnya aku..."
"Diam!" bentak Mo Qing, suaranya menggema di sekitar gerbang sekte. "Aku sedang bertanya pada anak ini. Jangan ikut campur!"
Zhou Xin mengepalkan tangannya, tapi ia tahu bahwa membantah tidak akan ada gunanya.
Elder Mo Qing menoleh ke para tetua lainnya dan berkata, "Bagaimana jika kita akhiri saja nyawa anak ini sekarang?"
Para tetua sekte Dao Xiang langsung mengaktifkan Formasi Penghancur, sebuah formasi kuno yang mampu menghancurkan targetnya dalam sekejap. Cahaya emas berkilauan mulai menyelimuti area sekitar, tekanan spiritual yang mengerikan menyelimuti tubuh Che Su.
Namun, bukannya panik, Che Su malah tertawa.
"Hahaha... Baiklah," katanya sambil menyeringai. "Kalian yang memulainya!"
Dalam sekejap, aura luar biasa meledak dari tubuhnya. Che Su mengaktifkan Teknik Dewa Suci – Manipulation of Destruction.
Teknik ini bukan sekadar pertahanan ia bisa memanipulasi kehancuran, membuat segala serangan berbasis kehancuran menjadi tidak berguna, bahkan membalikkan serangan lawan kepada mereka sendiri!
BOOM!
Para tetua sekte langsung terpental ke berbagai arah, formasi penghancur yang mereka buat hancur seketika!
Mereka terbelalak, tidak percaya dengan apa yang baru saja terjadi.
"Sekarang giliranku untuk menyerang," kata Che Su dengan tenang.
Ia mengangkat satu tangan, membentuk bola cahaya yang bersinar melebihi terik matahari. Aura ilahi terpancar dari bola itu, membuat udara di sekitar mereka bergetar hebat.
Para tetua sekte Dao Xiang langsung berlutut, wajah mereka penuh ketakutan.
"Ampuni kami! Kami yang salah! Kami berjanji tidak akan berurusan denganmu lagi!" seru mereka serempak.
Che Su menatap mereka dengan tatapan dingin sebelum akhirnya menurunkan tangannya. Bola cahaya itu menghilang seketika.
"Baiklah," katanya dengan suara dingin. "Untuk kali ini aku ampuni kalian semua. Tapi jangan pernah coba-coba melawanku lagi."
Zhou Xin, yang sejak tadi menyaksikan pertarungan dengan mata terbelalak, masih belum bisa berkata apa-apa. Ia tidak menyangka bahwa Che Su memiliki kekuatan sehebat ini.
Sebelum pergi, Che Su menoleh ke Zhou Xin. "Zhou Xin, aku akan kembali ke Sekte Tian Bao. Jaga dirimu baik-baik."
Zhou Xin mengangguk, masih tercengang. "Terima kasih, Che Su..."
Tanpa berkata lebih banyak, Che Su berbalik dan pergi, meninggalkan Sekte Dao Xiang yang masih dalam keadaan kacau.

Chapter 8: First time using the God technique
After a long and emotional discussion about his identity, Che Su decided to escort Zhou Xin back to the Dao Xiang Sect. Although he was hesitant due to the previous conflict, Zhou Xin assured Che Su that he could resolve the matter with his own sect.
However, when they arrived at the gates of the Dao Xiang Sect, an unexpected sight greeted them. Several elders of the sect, including Elder Mo Qing, were already standing there waiting with cold expressions.
Mo Qing narrowed his eyes, then said in a tone full of suspicion, "So it was you who kidnapped Zhou Xin."
Zhou Xin hurriedly stepped forward, trying to explain, "Elder, this is just a misunderstanding. Actually, I..."
"Shut up!" Mo Qing snapped, his voice echoing around the gates of the sect. "I'm asking this kid. Don't interfere!"
Zhou Xin clenched his fists, but he knew that arguing back would be useless.
Elder Mo Qing turned to the other elders and said, "How about we just end this kid's life now?"
The elders of the Dao Xiang Sect immediately activated the Destruction Formation, an ancient formation capable of destroying its target in an instant. A golden light began to cover the surrounding area, a terrifying spiritual pressure enveloped Che Su's body.
However, instead of panicking, Che Su laughed.
"Hahaha... Alright," he said with a grin. "You guys started it!"
In an instant, an overwhelming aura exploded from his body. Che Su activated the Sacred God Technique – Manipulation of Destruction.
This technique was not just a defense it could manipulate destruction, rendering all destruction-based attacks useless, even turning the opponent's attacks back on them!
BOOM!
The sect elders were instantly sent flying in all directions, the destructive formation they had set up instantly shattered!
They stared wide-eyed, unable to believe what had just happened.
"Now it's my turn to attack," Che Su said calmly.
He raised one hand, forming a ball of light that shone brighter than the sun. A divine aura radiated from the ball, causing the air around them to tremble violently.
The Dao Xiang sect elders immediately knelt down, their faces filled with fear.
"Forgive us! We were wrong! We promise not to deal with you again!" they shouted in unison.
Che Su stared at them coldly before finally lowering his hand. The ball of light disappeared instantly.
"Alright," he said in a cold voice. "I'll spare you all this time. But don't you ever try to fight me again."
Zhou Xin, who had been watching the fight with wide eyes, was still speechless. He never expected Che Su to have such great strength.
Before leaving, Che Su turned to Zhou Xin. "Zhou Xin, I'm going back to the Tian Bao Sect. Take care of yourselves."
Zhou Xin nodded, still stunned. "Thank you, Che Su..."
Without saying anything more, Che Su turned and left, leaving the Dao Xiang Sect still in chaos.
