A blind man cultivates immortality and witnesses the great secret of the holy maiden in her bridal c

Chen Yang touched the Thundercloud Sword in his hand, feeling the wisps of lightning on the blade, and couldn't help but feel a surge of pride.

Ever since the Twilight Sword was destroyed, Chen Yang has been looking for a suitable weapon.

He naturally looked down on ordinary weapons, since they were not as powerful as his Mad Dragon Capture Hand! But this Thundercloud Sword could not only unleash the power of the Shadowless Meteor Sword, but also make his Purple Thunder Refining God Technique even stronger!

Chen Yang chuckled and immediately looked at the system panel in his mind.

The panel displays: [Mid-grade Spiritual Weapon - Thundercloud Sword].

Chen Yang clicked on it.

[Ding! Do you wish to upgrade the mid-grade spirit weapon Thundercloud Sword to a high-grade spirit weapon by consuming 35,000 spirit stones?]

When Chen Yang saw the consumption figure of "35000", he was so angry that his nose almost twisted!

However, even as a mid-grade spiritual weapon, it is already powerful enough; if it is upgraded to a high-grade spiritual weapon later, killing a Golden Body Realm cultivator will be as easy as cutting melons and vegetables!

At this moment, the battle in the Yin family courtyard was one-sided.

The white-haired Yin Huozun was already incredibly powerful. Furthermore, when the Peng family elders saw that the eldest elder who wielded the Thundercloud Sword was dead and that even the Thundercloud Sword had been taken away, they immediately lost their will to fight.

They retreated quickly, then with a "whoosh," they all leaped out from the dilapidated courtyard wall of the Yin family and vanished without a trace.

Yin Huozun looked at the fleeing elder of the Peng family, sighed heavily, and then turned and walked towards Chen Yang.

He bowed deeply and said, "Thank you so much for your help, sir of the Eastern Depot!"

Chen Yang laughed heartily: "Old Master Yin, there's no need for such politeness! Besides, I'm not a member of the Eastern Depot, at least not yet. My name is Chen Yang."

Upon hearing this, Yin Huozun suddenly raised his head and looked at Chen Yang in disbelief.

Chen Yang continued, "Old Master Yin, I've come here today with something. Where is the head of your Yin family? I'd like to speak with him."

Yin Huozun looked at Chen Yang in surprise, just about to speak.

A woman's sorrowful voice suddenly rang out: "My husband!"

Yin Huozun turned his head sharply and saw Liu Meiniang running towards him with a child in her arms, her body covered in blood.

Yin Huozun immediately rushed over and hugged them tightly: "Madam! Madam, are you alright?"

Liu Meiniang shook her head, turned her gaze to Chen Yang, and quickly stepped forward, saying, "Husband, it was this benefactor who saved our child! If it weren't for him, my child and I would have died at the hands of the Blood Shadow Pavilion long ago!"

Upon hearing this, Yin Huozun bowed deeply to Chen Yang once again.

Chen Yang glanced at Yin Huozun, then looked at Liu Meiniang.

Liu Meiniang was only in her early thirties and had a beautiful appearance, while Yin Huozun already had a full head of white hair and an old face.

His lips twitched involuntarily, and he quickly said, "You're welcome, Grandpa Yin, you don't need to take it to heart. I was just doing it on the spur of the moment."

Upon hearing this, Liu Meiniang, who was standing nearby, instinctively asked, "Old Master Yin? Who is this...?"

Then she suddenly realized what she had said, looked at Yin Huozun, then at Chen Yang, and chuckled: "Husband, I told you to dye your hair a long time ago, see, you made our benefactor misunderstand!"

Yin Huozun gave a wry smile and bowed to Chen Yang again: "Benefactor Chen, to be honest, I... I am the current patriarch of the Yin family, and I am 37 years old this year. As for my full head of white hair... please excuse me."

Chen Yang was speechless for a moment.

Yin Huozun sighed, "Benefactor Chen, please wait a moment. I need to instruct my clansmen on some matters."

After saying that, he turned around and addressed the panting, wounded elders, "Elders, now is not the time for grief! Everyone, rest for a moment, then immediately gather all your belongings. We will leave the capital in ten minutes!"

The Yin family elders around them all hung their heads in dejection and turned to clean up.

Seeing this, Chen Yang was a little confused: "Elder Yin... no, Clan Chief Yin, what are you doing? Didn't we just win? Why do you want the whole clan to migrate? Don't you want the Yin family anymore?"

Yin Huozun's face showed a pained expression, and he quickly said, "Young Master Chen, it seems you haven't been in the capital for long and are unaware of the situation here."

Chen Yang nodded: "Indeed, I only arrived tonight."

Yin Huozun sighed, "No wonder. My full head of white hair is the result of worrying and suffering for the Yin family. It's already quite an achievement that the Yin family has managed to hold on in the capital until today. But if we don't leave tonight, we'll be completely unable to leave!"

Chen Yang frowned slightly.

Yin Huozun continued, "Our Yin family is a first-rate family in the capital, occupying the best cultivation grounds in the city, and our businesses are all monopolistic industries with guaranteed profits. This is because the distribution of all profits in the capital is based on family strength! As a first-rate family, we have an absolute advantage in everything from choosing a residence location and conducting business to enrolling our family members in schools. But tonight, even the third-rate Peng family dared to risk attacking, completely shattering the last vestiges of our Yin family's dignity and pretense!"

Chen Yang pondered for a moment, then asked, "Clan Chief Yin, are you saying that your Yin family is actually finished?"

Yin Huozun nodded with a wry smile: "It's been over for a long time. For so many years, it's been my father and I working together to barely maintain the facade of the Yin family's strength. Because we hold the title of a first-rate family, other families don't know what's going on with us, so they don't dare to easily invade. But tonight, the Peng family and the Blood Shadow Pavilion suddenly broke in. Although we repelled them with the help of Young Master Chen, the other first- and second-rate families in the capital have completely seen through the Yin family's true strength! We're already struggling so much against a third-rate family; they'll definitely be ruthless next, and won't stop until they've completely devoured the Yin family!"

Chen Yang felt utterly disheartened.

I went through all that trouble, hoping to make a deal with the Yin family and get more spirit stones to upgrade my equipment, but I never got to hear this terrible news!

He felt incredibly bitter at that moment.

Yin Huozun sighed, "Right now, there are at least a dozen spies from various families around my Yin family mansion, spreading information about us. This capital city is no longer safe to stay in."

Chen Yang also sighed. His black-feathered eagle was still circling in the sky, so he could naturally see the Golden Body Realm spies hidden in the shadows around the Yin family's residence. He guessed that these people had now determined that the Yin family's strength was no longer sufficient.

Chen Yang immediately lost his desire to extort or make a deal.

He patted Yin Huozun on the shoulder: "Clan Chief Yin, please accept my condolences. You all go about your business, I'll be leaving now. By the way, I came today to return something to your Yin family."

As he spoke, Chen Yang took out the Yin family token from his pocket and handed it to Yin Huozun. Of course, he couldn't take it from his storage ring in front of Yin Huozun, since the storage ring also belonged to the Yin family.

Chen Yang emphasized, "Clan Chief Yin, this token was given to you by a friend. I don't know where he got it from..."

He was still racking his brains to fabricate lies, fearing that Yin Huozun would suspect him.

However, Yin Huozun, who was opposite him, suddenly trembled all over as if he had suffered a stroke when he looked at the token.

Two streams of tears instantly welled up in his eyes, and he stammered, "This...this...could this be...the patriarch's decree of our Yin family!?"

Seeing the white-haired old man in front of him so agitated he was almost convulsing, Chen Yang quickly said, "Clan Chief Yin, what's wrong with you? Don't go crazy!"
