Seeing the fast, piercing purple-black beam shoot over, Capture God’s pupils suddenly shrank. His body twisted sharply, barely dodging the vital point by a hair’s breadth.

With a splurt, the purple-black beam suddenly shot through from Capture God’s collarbone, leaving a bloody hole in his body and boring straight through him.

He had avoided a fatal blow at the last critical moment, but the gray-robed elder on the other side wasn’t so lucky. That black-robed elder was caught completely off guard; before he even had time to dodge, the purple-black beam was already right in front of his face.

"No!"

The gray-robed elder’s eyes were full of terror as he let out a scream, but before his cry had even finished, that purple-black beam had already pierced straight through his face, leaving a thumb-sized bloody hole at the bridge of his nose.

When the purple-black beam tore through the Void and finally blasted into a distant mountain peak, the gray-robed elder’s gaze quickly dimmed, and the vitality in his eyes gradually vanished.

The gray-robed elder’s body fell from midair and crashed down, completely dead.

Ling Chen, Lin Wan, Elder Xunlong and the others were all dumbfounded, their hearts filled with boundless shock.

A堂堂 Saint had actually been wiped out on the spot.

Even Yuwen Lin, Wei Wuxian and the others who had just arrived were greatly astonished, their faces full of shock.

After all, the gray-robed elder was a genuine Saint. A Saint, no matter in which force, was an extremely important existence.

Yet right now, a Saint had actually been killed alive right before their eyes!

Everyone only felt a bone-deep chill!

So what if they were so-called transcendent, above-the-ordinary Saints? In front of this Heavenly Eye Ancestor, weren’t they still killed at a word, no different from slaughtering a chicken.

Everyone’s gaze toward the Heavenly Eye Ancestor carried a thick sense of dread.

As for Capture God, who had always acted together with the gray-robed elder, his liver and gall were already splitting from fear at this moment. Cold drafts seemed to whistle across his back. From the gray-robed elder’s end, he seemed to see his own fate. If he hadn’t been lucky just now, he would probably have ended up exactly like the gray-robed elder.

"You... you actually dared to kill an Elder of my Huangfu Clan?!"

Seeing the gray-robed elder falling from midair, the Great Elder of the Huangfu Clan was furious to the extreme. The other party was an Elder of their Huangfu Clan, with an extraordinary status in the Huangfu Clan. Although not on par with him, he was still a mainstay of their Family, yet he had actually been killed here by this Heavenly Eye Ancestor?

Any Saint, to these Saint Families, was an incomparably important existence. The gray-robed elder being killed was like having an arm cut off for their Huangfu Clan.

"Hmph, he dared to hurt my granddaughter. He was courting death himself; he brought this on himself."

After killing the gray-robed elder, there was not the slightest hint of remorse on the Heavenly Eye Ancestor’s face. It was as if he had merely killed an ordinary person, or even just slaughtered a chicken.

Hearing this, the Great Elder of the Huangfu Clan almost fainted from rage. What, your granddaughter is some priceless pearl whose single hair can’t be touched, but the Elder of his Huangfu Clan isn’t even considered human?

This old bastard was simply too overbearing.

However, in the face of the Heavenly Eye Ancestor’s overwhelming strength, no matter how much resentment he had in his heart, how would he dare say another word? Besides, he was already severely wounded by the Heavenly Eye Ancestor. If he angered the Heavenly Eye Ancestor further and the old man decided to kill him as well, where would he go to reason it out?

"You girl, your Bewildering Heavenly Eye hasn’t even been fully cultivated yet, how dare you use it so recklessly? What if it triggered a backlash and all your previous efforts were wasted?"

The Heavenly Eye Ancestor glared fiercely at Ling Yin. He hurriedly grabbed her, then carefully examined the mark between her brows. Only after confirming there was no serious problem did he finally let out a breath and calm down.

"Brother Ling Chen was in trouble. How could I just sit and watch? If something happened to Brother Ling Chen, Yin’er would never live alone."

Ling Yin said seriously.

"You!"

The Heavenly Eye Ancestor was choked with anger. He really had no way to deal with this granddaughter of his, especially when it came to Ling Chen. She was closer to Ling Chen than to her own grandpa, making this old man feel jealous of Ling Chen from time to time.

"It’s all your fault, kid. Why do you have so many enemies? If the two of us hadn’t arrived in time this time, I’m afraid you’d already be in the Yellow Springs."

Unable to vent at Ling Yin, the Heavenly Eye Ancestor could only vent at Ling Chen. Right now he found Ling Chen an eyesore no matter how he looked at him. If it weren’t for Ling Chen, Ling Yin wouldn’t have gotten hurt. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

"It is indeed this junior’s fault. If I had known Xiao Yin’s identity in advance, I would never have let her stand in front of me."

Ling Chen gave a bitter nod. This time he had indeed implicated Ling Yin. He hadn’t expected the Huangfu Clan to be so obsessed with him; not only did they send three Saints, they even used a powerful Sacred Objects like the Black Dragon Banner to deal with him.

If Ling Yin hadn’t forcibly activated the Bewildering Heavenly Eye, he would probably already be heavily injured by now, with a miserable end.

"Enough. Since it was an unintentional mistake on your part, this time this old man won’t hold it against you."

The Heavenly Eye Ancestor could see that Ling Chen truly cared deeply for Ling Yin, so the displeasure in his heart immediately faded quite a bit. He waved his hand and motioned Ling Yin over, then looked at Ling Chen and said, "Xiao Yin has now awakened one of the two great Secret Arts of our Heavenly Eye Clan, the Bewildering Heavenly Eye. Her strength is advancing by leaps and bounds every day. Brat, if you really don’t want to drag her down, then raise your own strength as soon as possible. Otherwise, I really won’t feel at ease letting Xiao Yin stay by your side in the future."

Hearing this, Ling Chen’s expression suddenly turned solemn. He cupped his fists seriously and said, "On this point, senior can rest assured. I may not yet be worthy of your eyes right now, but I can guarantee that at this year’s Nine-Stream Gathering, I will definitely display a level of strength that will satisfy senior. I’ll also make senior feel at ease entrusting Xiao Yin to me."

"We’ll see."

The Heavenly Eye Ancestor only cast Ling Chen a faint glance and didn’t say more. He had heard too many such assurances; promises and actually doing it were two different things. Whether Ling Chen could display strength that satisfied him at the Nine-Stream Gathering was something he would have to wait and see.

"Let’s go, Xiao Yin, you need to have a good rest." The Heavenly Eye Ancestor looked at Ling Yin.

"Brother Ling Chen, I’m leaving."

Ling Yin looked at Ling Chen somewhat reluctantly.

"Mm, we’ll see each other again before long. During this time, listen to your grandpa and try to completely master the Bewildering Heavenly Eye."

Ling Chen rubbed Ling Yin’s little head, a trace of gentleness appearing on his face as he smiled.

"I will."

Ling Yin nodded lightly. "Brother Ling Chen, take care."

With that, she followed the Heavenly Eye Ancestor, boarded the skyfaring ship, and left this place.
