The Patriarchs and clan Elders were taken aback by this. How could the Yin energy gathering arrays be destroyed so quickly? They hadn't even figured out where the array points were…
Even though they were shocked, their previous worries went away. It seemed that Madam Ling was indeed capable. However, at that moment, one of the Elders suddenly trembled. He moved closer to a nearby Patriarch, grabbing his shoulder and starting to absorb his vital essence into his palm.
"Aah!"
The Patriarch let out a shocked cry, unable to move as his face turned pale. Another Elder beside him was greatly alarmed and immediately struck at that Elder.
"Release the Patriarch!"
The Elder's palm strike descended fiercely. However, the Elder who was draining the vital essence acted as if he didn't see it and continued to absorb the essence.
The absorbed essence slipped undetected into an ancient jade pendant worn by the Elder.
