"Xiantian Yiqi"!
Just like that, before everyone's eyes, it was destroyed by Su Xin's own hands.
Shangguan Yuan and others, upon witnessing this scene, felt as if they had been struck by lightning, nearly passing out.
What they had painstakingly acquired was so casually annihilated.
How could they accept this?
Yet, the one who destroyed it was from the Dark Clan, someone they simply could not afford to offend.
This left their anger unable to vent, confined within their bodies.
They dared not speak out of fear.
The old clan elders, who had just regained some strength, witnessing this, were also overwhelmed with indignation, their eyes rolling back as they fainted.
Their hope of breaking through to Martial God was now declared shattered.
Su Xin's action had caught not only the people of the Four Bright Clans off guard, but even Long Ming and his companions were taken by surprise.
"Su Xin! You..."
Long Ming's fingers trembled with rage, his eyes blazing with fury.
That was a method to surpass Martial God, and it was destroyed just like that.
He had originally intended to discreetly copy it and take it back to his clan.
But he had never imagined Su Xin would act so decisively, giving him absolutely no opportunity.
"What about me?"
Su Xin seemed to have read his mind and said coldly, "Don't tell me you still want to take a look!"
If Long Ming's true intentions were known to everyone, the consequences would not be something he alone could bear.
"You... don't frame me!"
Long Ming naturally would not admit it, and continued to rage, "This item is of immense importance, and at the very least, it should have been taken back to the clan for the clan elders to decide!"
"And you destroyed it without authorization, what crime do you commit?"
Long Ming then twisted the narrative, assigning a crime to Su Xin.
"Qin Yuan, when we left, what did the clan elders decide?"
Su Xin ignored Long Ming's accusation and asked calmly.
"The clan elders said that in this operation, Su Xin would be in charge. Everyone must cooperate with her decisions to the best of their ability and not raise any objections."
Qin Yuan stated righteously.
"I..."
Upon hearing this, Long Ming's face instantly turned grim.
"No objections!"
Su Xin turned her gaze to Long Ming, her eyes extremely cold, and said, "Then what were you barking about just now?"
"Su Xin, you..."
*Bang!*
Before Long Ming could finish speaking, Su Xin's palm strike landed on him again.
The power of this strike was clearly greater than the last.
What's more, this time no one caught him, and he fell directly to the ground.
*Puff!*
Blood spurted from his mouth, and at least one or two of his ribs were broken. He was in a pathetic state.
"Ah!"
Long Ming cried out in pain.
The physical pain, coupled with the humiliation, caused him to collapse.
"Miss Su, the young master spoke impulsively for a moment, please be magnanimous and spare him this time!"
At this moment, the man accompanying Long Ming stepped forward to Su Xin and bowed in apology.
His young master had been struck, and he still had to apologize personally.
From this, it could be seen how transcendent the Su family's status was within the Four Dark Clans.
"Let this not happen again!"
Su Xin's voice remained cold, but she let Long Ming off.
The face of the family still needed to be maintained.
Although she detested Long Ming, she had to consider her family.
"Thank you, Miss Su!"
The man bowed again, then moved to help Long Ming up and tend to his injuries.
"Damn it! I..."
"Young Master! Please mind your words!"
Just as Long Ming was about to "mouth off" again, the man immediately interrupted him sternly, "If you continue to act so recklessly, I cannot guarantee you will be able to stand and return to the Dragon Clan!"
In the end, Long Ming could only swallow all his frustration and roar inwardly:
"Damn it!"
Qin Yuan and Xia Zhi Qiu, witnessing this, were also filled with trepidation.
Fortunately, they had been well-behaved.
Otherwise...
"Sister Xin, should we see who he is?" Qin Yuan asked cautiously, pointing at the black-robed elder.
"Hmm?"
Su Xin's gaze made Qin Yuan's heart skip a beat.
"Sister Xin! I... I didn't say anything wrong, did I!"
Qin Yuan reflexively took a step back, his expression flustered.
"Am I that scary?" Su Xin asked, seeing Qin Yuan's timid demeanor.
"Uh!"
Qin Yuan, perhaps thinking of something, quickly waved his hands, "No! No! Sister Xin is gentle and beautiful, kind and amiable, how can she be called scary?"
"Hmph! That's more like it!"
Su Xin smiled, and the air around them seemed to warm up.
"Phew! You scared me to death!"
Qin Yuan was inwardly immensely relieved!
Fortunately, he had reacted quickly, otherwise...
The consequences would have been unimaginable.
"As for this person, as a peak expert, we should show him respect."
Su Xin looked at the black-robed elder, not revealing his true face, and said calmly, "You may leave!"
She did not kill him.
Now that the elder had suffered the erosion of the Spirit Devouring Formation, it would likely take some time to recover to his peak state.
"This old man thanks you, young lady!"
The black-robed elder bowed sincerely to Su Xin.
This action was not just because she spared him, but because she had preserved his dignity.
"Before you leave, there is one thing I must remind you of!"
Su Xin's voice remained cold, but it was gentler than before.
"Please speak, young lady!"
The elder said no more.
"The path to breaking through to Martial God is a taboo! This time, I will let you go! But..." at this point, Su Xin's tone became noticeably heavier, carrying a trace of pure killing intent: "If you dare to touch upon taboos again, I will show no mercy!"
As she said this, Su Xin's voice seemed to have been deliberately amplified.
This was ostensibly a reminder to the black-robed elder, and at the same time, a warning to Shangguan Yuan and the others.
Breaking through to Martial God!
Don't even think about it!
"Thank you for your words, young lady. This old man will certainly keep them in mind!"
With that, the black-robed elder left everyone with a lonely silhouette and, with heavy steps, disappeared from their sight.
"Hahaha! The matter is finally over! I finally got out, I have to have some fun!"
Qin Yuan exclaimed in relief.
"Over? Who told you it's over?"
At this moment, Su Xin spoke with a deep voice.
"Huh? Sister Xin! We're not..."
Before Qin Yuan could finish speaking, he suddenly stopped.
Because at this moment, he saw an unprecedented solemnity on Su Xin's face.
He wasn't sure if it was his imagination, but he even sensed a hint of fear emanating from Su Xin.
"Sister Xin! You..."
Su Xin ignored him and commanded everyone, "Everyone, stay vigilant!"
Her posture was that of facing a formidable enemy.
Everyone was confused at this moment, not understanding why Su Xin was acting this way.
"You've seen enough, aren't you going to show yourselves?"
Su Xin stared intently at the front left, clutching a glowing talisman in her hand.
It seemed that all of this was related to this glowing talisman.
