The female cultivator is named Xia Ziling and claims to be from the Dongyang Xia Family, a clan with extremely deep roots. In the past, the ancestors produced more than one Golden Core Master, and there are currently seven Out-of-Dust Masters.
However, twenty years ago, the Xia Family had a total of ten Out-of-Dust Masters, with three from Xia Ziling's lineage. But her father and brother went hunting in the Endless Sea, had a conflict with Master Ma, and were slain on the spot by him.
Master Ma acts quite ruthlessly, deeply understanding the necessity of eradicating roots, so he went to Dongyang to uproot the Xia Family.
Fortunately, the Xia Family had the Soul Lamp Secret Technique. When a master in the clan died, the soul lamp extinguished, alerting the Xia Family. Most members retreated into the ancestral estate, relying on a grand formation left by their ancestors to resist Master Ma's sudden attack.
