The Eyes in the Dark

Chapter 17: Eyes in the Dark【Seeking Flowers, Monthly Tickets, and Reviews】

The clash of two Saints, its terrifying might was enough to obliterate any being below the Saint Realm.

Even those at the Dao Severing Realm, facing the aftermath of the Saints' battle, could only flee in disarray, not daring to harbor any thoughts of resistance.

On the Ye Family's celestial ship, the faces of all the maidens were exceptionally pale, their mouths muttering prayers for the Ye Family Saint's victory.

However, Nan Gong Pu She noticed that after her initial shock, Xiao Yu Qin no longer displayed any fear.

"Yuqin, do you know something?"

"?"

Xiao Yu Qin looked at Nan Gong Pu She with confusion, unsure of what he meant.

Nan Gong Pu She explained.

"Don't you have absolute confidence in the Ye Family Saint's victory, which is why you're so calm?"

Xiao Yu Qin looked at Nan Gong Pu She with a look of utter disbelief. In that instant, Nan Gong Pu She felt his face burning, but he couldn't figure out where he went wrong.

"Nan Gong, what are you thinking? How could I possibly be certain of the Ye Family Saint's victory?"

"The reason I'm calm is simply because we're within the Ye Family's territory. I just checked the compass, and we're not far from the Ye Family's inner city, only about thirteen billion seven hundred million li away."

"Every inner city of the Ye Family is guarded by a Saint. With a Saint's strength, the moment the battle started, the Saint would have known about it."

"They might even be nearby already, just not revealing themselves."

Xiao Yu Qin pointed at a large screen at the very front of the celestial ship's deck.

Nan Gong Pu She looked closely and saw that it indeed displayed the ship's location, its upcoming itinerary, and everything around it.

Among those, there was clearly a point not far from the ship's location, which, according to Xiao Yu Qin, was Chi Ming Cheng, one of the eighty-one inner cities of the Ye Family!

"There's also something else that Nan Gong might not know."

Xiao Yu Qin pointed to the sky above, speaking in a low voice.

"The Ye Family has held selection events for their ancestors for decades, but there has never been a single casualty. Do you know why?"

"Why?"

Seeing Xiao Yu Qin's eager expression, as if urging him to ask, Nan Gong Pu She tried to suppress his laughter and played along.

People from the Zongwu World also pricked up their ears to listen.

They were more interested in the behind-the-scenes gossip than the battle between Saints.

It's not that the battle between Saints wasn't exciting, but it was too high-level, completely beyond their comprehension...

A Saint could simply wave their hand and create ripples in the void, casually destroying a planet with a single strike.

The two Saints had fought from the vicinity of the celestial ship all the way into the depths of space.

The projection now could only vaguely see stars shattering and the void shaking, but nothing else could be discerned.

So, they might as well listen to some gossip.

"I heard that the Ye Family, in the selection for their ancestor, has a Saint King realm super strong guarding them in the shadows. If anyone dares to harm the maidens, then that Saint King will act without hesitation."

"Saint King?"

Instantly, all the maidens nearby were stunned.

They never imagined that the Ye Family's selection process was actually watched over by a Saint King in the shadows!

Saint King, Saint King, the king among Saints!

A single Saint King is more powerful than a hundred or even a thousand Saints.

Any long-lived family, even if they don't have a single Saint, as long as they have a Saint King, they possess a voice far surpassing any other long-lived family.

A being at the Saint King realm, even within those super powers, is only second to their final trump card in terms of strength and foundation!

The Burial Star is vast and boundless, hundreds of times larger than the Milky Way Galaxy, with countless creatures living on it.

However, the known Saint King realm beings are only a mere hundred or so.

If a Saint Realm strong can easily shatter everything within a million li around them, then each Saint King has the power to easily crush a life planet the size of the solar system.

Therefore, upon learning that there might be a Saint King watching over them in the shadows, including Nan Gong Pu She, all the maidens nearby froze.

The gap was too large, utterly unimaginable!

Xiao Yu Qin looked at Nan Gong Pu She, who was clearly extremely nervous, and said with a smile.

"Oh, Nan Gong, what's there to be nervous about? The Saint King won't pay any attention to you or me. Only if the Saints can't handle the situation will they cast their gaze here."

"So don't worry, just treat it as watching a big spectacle. Battles between Saints are extremely rare."

The people in the Zongwu World were speechless at Xiao Yu Qin's boldness.

Although everything Xiao Yu Qin said made sense, what was with this sense of watching a show, big sister?

"This Xiao Yu Qin is truly interesting."

"Indeed, beautiful appearances are all alike, while interesting souls are one in ten thousand."

"Tsk tsk tsk, if I could get a taste of her fragrance, I'd be willing to reduce my lifespan by ten years, no, twenty years!"

"But one thing is unexpected. There is actually a Saint King watching in the shadows. I thought a Saint was already the limit."

"I guess everyone didn't expect this."

"So, having a powerful force behind you is good. You can know things that ordinary people wouldn't."

And in the depths of space, the scales of battle had begun to tilt.

Compared to the Shadow Disk, the Ye Family Saint was ultimately lacking in foundation.

Although the Ye Family Saint's divine powers were more powerful, his cultivation was far inferior to the Shadow Disk. This huge gap couldn't be bridged by divine powers alone.

Even though the Ye Family Saint possessed a powerful divine body, the Shadow Disk, being an ancient and extraordinary being, was no ordinary creature.

In addition, the Shadow Disk had swallowed an old Saint, and its strength had faintly reached the middle stage of the Saint Realm!

"桀桀桀桀, young Saint, you'll soon become my nourishment!"

The Shadow Disk's demonic spear once again tore a hole in the Ye Family Saint's body, letting out a strange, cackling laugh.

"Hmph! It's not over yet, who will die first is still unknown!"

The Ye Family Saint's face was a bit pale, but thanks to the Saint's powerful regenerative abilities, which allowed them to regenerate even from a single drop of blood, he recovered in an instant. However, he was undeniably at a disadvantage.

This Shadow Disk was truly powerful!

The Ye Family Saint's eyes once again condensed divine light, shooting towards the Shadow Disk.

"桀桀桀桀, the Extinguishing Divine Eye is indeed a powerful divine ability, but if you can't hit me, it's all in vain!"

The Shadow Disk's speed was terrifyingly fast, twisting and turning, dodging the divine rays continuously emitted by the Ye Family Saint.

"Is that so? This is enough!"

As the Extinguishing Divine Eye continued to release, the Ye Family Saint's aura gradually weakened.

Such a powerful divine ability naturally consumed a great deal of energy!

However, the Ye Family Saint didn't care, because everything was unfolding as he had predicted!

When the Shadow Disk's figure reached the position that the Ye Family Saint had anticipated, the Ye Family Saint suddenly roared!

"Don't hesitate, move now!"
