Spiritual qi boiled over, churning like water on the edge of eruption.
All they saw was Master Lin from Seacrest stepping forward, sword in hand, his figure flickering, heaven and earth changing color—and then he vanished completely!
The figures of the five Elders vanished completely.
But at the same time, it was as if they were everywhere—omnipresent, looming over the entire scene.
Behind each blinding white beam, you could vaguely make out the faces of the Five Directional Elders!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
But how old is Master Lin from Seacrest?
Evan Lin swept his hand through the air, sketching a web of intricate lines. In a blink, those lines condensed and erupted into a storm of sword glows!
"Sword Intent—Kill!"
"Is this Master Lin from Seacrest’s real strength?"
"Master Lin from Seacrest can actually fight the Five Directional Elders of the Upper-Grade Lin Clan to this extent!"
The sword radiated waves of chilling cold.
"No wonder he has Upper-Grade Lin Clan blood running through him! Master Lin from Seacrest’s talent is beyond monstrous—it’s downright defying the heavens!"
It was as if the very ground around him couldn’t withstand even this small movement from Master Lin from Seacrest!
But now, not only did Master Lin from Seacrest block them, he even dragged out a whole new grudge.
Then...
"He disappeared!"
"Where’s Master Lin from Seacrest?!"
"He’s gone too!"
A wave of shock swept through the crowd.
The people watching the screen had absolutely no idea what had just happened.
All they saw was Master Lin of Seacrest stepping forward, sword in hand, his figure flickering, heaven and earth changing color—and then he vanished completely!
"Xiao Yi!"
She stared at the spot where Evan Lin had disappeared, suddenly anxious.
She pushed at the car door, wanting to get out, but it was locked tight.

Outside the car, Vermilion Bird, Black Tortoise, White Tiger, and Yvette Ye were all standing guard.
Besides them—
Not far away,
Nightstar and the Godmoon group were already standing there, watching the distant battle, each of their faces complicated with emotion.
"Master Lin of Seacrest can actually fight the Five Directional Elders of the Upper-Grade Lin Clan to this extent!"
"No wonder... no wonder he was able to lead us out of the Mysterious Ruins so easily that day."
"No wonder he has Upper-Grade Lin Clan blood running through him! Master Lin of Seacrest’s talent is beyond monstrous—it’s downright defying the heavens!"
"Even across the entire Upper-Grade Lin Clan, he might be a one-of-a-kind powerhouse!"
The Godmoon people all drew in a cold breath.
The Nightstar group looked over, their feelings more complicated than ever.
Before this,
They’d once wanted to recruit Master Lin of Seacrest into Nightstar, thinking he’d failed their test and that’s why he hadn’t joined.
But now—
Even separated by dozens of meters, they could feel the wind blowing from that direction, carrying an endless, terrifying killing intent!
"The reason we can’t see them isn’t that they’ve vanished—it’s that their speed has surpassed the limits of human sight!"
Someone spoke in a deep voice, taking a long breath.
This result was truly shocking.
The Five Directional Elders of the Upper-Grade Lin Clan had such overwhelming cultivation—that much made sense.
Their ages were far greater than they appeared.
Although they looked only around forty, their real ages were probably sixty or seventy.
But how old is Master Lin of Seacrest?
He’s truly not even twenty years old!
Such terrifying cultivation, such monstrous talent, such heaven-defying means!
"Is this Master Lin of Seacrest’s real strength?"
"Do you guys think... will he win in the end?"
Someone suddenly couldn’t hold back and asked.
Today was supposed to be the Upper-Grade Lin Clan’s big day.
No one expected anyone would really dare to disrespect the Lin Clan, let alone stand in their way.
But now, not only did Master Lin of Seacrest block them, he even dragged out a whole new grudge.
Looking at it now, no one could tell just how high-level this battle had become.
All they could sense at the scene was the air growing sharper and more intense.
"How can this be! Even if Master Lin of Seacrest is some kind of miracle worker, he’s still facing the Five Directional Elders of the Upper-Grade Lin Clan!"
"That’s five Elders!"
Someone blurted out in shock, clearly not believing it.
But right now, Evan Lin and the Five Directional Elders of the Upper-Grade Lin Clan weren’t just locked in battle—they’d managed to keep the fight contained to a small area.
But right now, Master Lin of Seacrest and the Five Directional Elders of the Upper-Grade Lin Clan weren’t just locked in battle—they’d managed to keep the fight contained to a small area.
Such control was far beyond anything anyone present could imagine.
"Maybe."
Jiang He let out a soft sigh.
Deep down, she still hoped Lin Yi could win, just once.
She’d seen Lin Yi’s methods before.
Even though Master Lin of Seacrest had caused headaches for the entire ancient-martial Jiang clan, his strength was undeniably shocking.
"Master Lin of Seacrest... I used to think the gap between us wasn’t that big."
Qin Qifan gave a bitter laugh: "I thought he’d just gotten ahead of me and reached Heavenly Phenomenon first... But now, this kid is way beyond that."
"If I were up there fighting the Five Directional Elders, I’d have been blasted to bits ages ago."
Qin Qifan looked over and couldn’t help but sigh: "Too bad—Master Lin of Seacrest is definitely doomed today."
"He’ll definitely lose to the Five Directional Elders. The Elders have absolutely no reason to lose! Maybe Master Lin of Seacrest could beat any single Elder, but now there are five..."
Just thinking about it made Qin Qifan shudder.
"You might only be half right."
Standing nearby, Li Hanbin, who hadn’t spoken all this time, looked over, his eyes flickering.
He wasn’t from Godmoon, so technically he wasn’t supposed to be here.
But Li Hanbin had always gotten along well with Qin Qifan and Jiang He, so he’d tagged along and they hadn’t minded.
"What do you mean by that?"
Hearing Li Hanbin’s words, Qin Qifan frowned slightly and glanced at him.
There was something in his eyes that couldn’t quite be described.
Ever since Li Hanbin had returned from the Mysterious Ruins, Qin Qifan felt something was off about him.
But as for exactly what was off, Qin Qifan couldn’t put his finger on it.
"What I mean is, those so-called Five Directional Elders won’t be his match."
Li Hanbin shook his head, his expression losing its usual playfulness and growing strangely cold: "As for Master Lin of Seacrest—"
"Today, he’s definitely doomed."
