Nine Dragons Saint Ancestor

”Tsks, it seems the Crown Prince is determined to split our Jade Pot Sect in two!”

Just when Mo Qing didn’t know what to say, a cool voice suddenly came from behind her, carrying a double meaning that seemed to reveal some unknown conspiracy of the Crown Prince.

After the remark, a figure appeared beside Mo Qing, it was Yun Xiao; it seemed that the previous statement was indeed made by him. Having dealt with the Crown Prince many times, he had vaguely guessed the latter’s intention.

Although Yan Chun had infiltrated the Jade Pot Sect for more than ten years, and his ultimate purpose was to steal the Sect’s treasure, taking the opportunity to split the Jade Pot Sect and bring this Meridian Refining Sect under his control might also be another intention of Xuan Jiuding.

At this moment, the underlying double meaning in Yun Xiao’s words made many thoughtful, and then they heard the youth continue: ”Since the Song Family is willing to yield, why not just yield the full set?”

Yun Xiao knew that the Song Family, one of the top three families in the Imperial City, had three spots at the Hidden Dragon Conference, so at this moment he had already set his sights on all the positions of the Song Family and aggressively put forward his claim.

”Sorry, I can’t decide on this, you should discuss with Song Yi!”

Yet to Yun Xiao’s proposal, Xuan Jiuding merely smiled faintly, then gestured towards Song Yi again and casually sat down.

”Yun Xiao, wanting to sit here, you have to see if you have the capability.”

Song Yi and Xuan Jiuding thought alike, already prejudiced against Yun Xiao. Seeing the young man showing no restraint, Song Yi felt even more displeased and immediately uttered a cold rebuke.

His implication was that Mo Qing, as a genius at the Late Stage of Meridian Union Realm, naturally deserved to sit at the top position, but you Yun Xiao and that chubby boy, just being at the Early Stage of Meridian Union and receiving an invitation was already a privilege, dreaming of a good seat was simply ludicrous.

”I wonder what kind of capability is needed?”

Yun Xiao completely ignored Song Yi’s underlying mockery, instead questioning back on the issue, his voice containing not a trace of unease, as if he were looking at a common jester.

”Very simple, take three moves from me. If you can withstand them, the position of my Song Family is yours to take!”

Watching Yun Xiao’s attitude, anger instantly surged in Song Yi’s heart, but what he didn’t see was the exceedingly interesting expression on a young figure’s face somewhere.

This figure naturally belonged to Li Yue from Qingshan Sect. The day Qingshan Sect boldly went to challenge the Jade Pot Sect, they were made foolish by Yun Xiao’s sudden return, directly losing two geniuses, truly a perfect example of losing more than intended.

Such an embarrassing incident, from top to bottom in Qingshan Sect, naturally wouldn’t be publicly discussed, so besides this person, no one inside the building of Heavenly Moon Pavilion knew Yun Xiao’s real combat power.

Although Li Yue was itching to tear Yun Xiao apart, he had to admit that the young talent from Jade Pot Sect did indeed possess commendable skills; otherwise, he wouldn’t have managed to take down two Qingshan Sect geniuses in one move.

According to Li Yue’s understanding of Song Yi, the top genius of the primary family among the top three families of the Imperial City, he was only at the Peak of Mid Stage of Meridian Union Realm, still a notch below the Late Stage of Meridian Union Realm.

With such cultivation and strength, he wasn’t necessarily much stronger than Qingshan Sect’s Second Senior Brother, Mu Xuan. It was absurd that he boldly asked Yun Xiao to take his three moves, in Li Yue’s view, this guy would do well to withstand three moves from Yun Xiao.

At this moment, Li Yue couldn’t help but weirdly think, if Song Yi knew about the battle situation that initially took place at the Jade Pot Courtyard, would he immediately beat a retreat?

Unfortunately, apart from Li Yue, no one knew Yun Xiao’s true power; didn’t they see the equally exceptional expressions on Mo Qing and Ling Wan’s faces after the words were spoken?

”Yun Xiao’s apparent cultivation is indeed misleading!”

Mo Qing thought to herself, mentioning that one couldn’t blame Song Yi; indeed, a peak talent at Mid Stage of Meridian Union Realm, only a step away from entering the Late Stage when facing a youth at the Early Stage of Meridian Union, perhaps anyone would feel an intense sense of superiority.

On the Continent, it’s quite challenging to fight beyond one’s level; haven’t seen whether Mo Qing with her Pure Yang Immortal Body or Ling Wan with his Mixed Element Qi Body, have struggled to fight beyond their levels?

Yet there emerged Yun Xiao, an anomaly who not only fights beyond his level but sometimes even beyond his stage; it’s indeed hard to guard against.

As for other Sects and families, they all seemed eager to watch a good show; like Song Yi, they also didn’t understand Yun Xiao’s true combat power and presumed that a challenge of three moves was already honoring enough for someone at the Early Stage of Meridian Union.

It’s worth mentioning that for this Heavenly Moon Pavilion’s banquet, the mysterious Luoyi Sect seemed absent. Had Liu Hanyi come, given his relationship with Yun Xiao, he might have lent a hand.

”What now? Scared? If you’re scared, then sit properly in a position that matches your strength. Don’t aspire for these higher seats!”

Seeing Yun Xiao and the other two prodigies of the Jade Pot Sect all silent, Song Yi was quite pleased with himself, surmising that the aura he exuded must have terrified the boy from the Jade Pot Sect, to the point of not even daring to accept a challenge.

”Three moves, you say? I think that’s somewhat bullying!”

However, just as Song Yi’s sneer faded, the ragged-dressed youth of the Jade Pot Sect slightly shook his head, and perhaps only Li Yue, Mo Qing, and Ling Wan among those present really understood what he meant.

”Bullying?”

Not understanding the meaning behind Yun Xiao’s words, disdain intensified in Song Yi’s eyes, and he immediately retorted: ”You’re not wrong. In that case, how about two moves?”

It seemed Song Yi thought Yun Xiao was aware that he couldn’t withstand his three moves, thus he said such words, but unexpectedly, upon Song Yi finishing speaking, the youth shook his head again.

”No no no, what I meant was three moves are too few, let’s do this, I’ll give you ten moves, and if you can make me take a single step, then I, Yun Xiao, will never mention this position issue again!”

The voice of Yun Xiao reverberated inside Room One of Heavenly Moon Pavilion, rendering the entire pavilion abruptly silent, leaving all the young talents having a notion of ’the wind is too strong, I did not hear clearly’.

Originally, except for Li Yue, everyone thought Song Yi’s three moves were already elevating the boy at the Early Stage of Meridian Union Realm, yet this audacious youngster straightaway increased the number of moves to ten.

Yet, what stunned people more wasn’t simply this, Yun Xiao’s new rule, in their eyes, seemed absolutely impossible: not taking a single step within ten moves - even some talents at the Late Stage of Meridian Union Realm, even the Crown Prince, would likely find it difficult.

If previously Yun Xiao gave off a slightly mysterious vibe, now he only seemed like an attention-seeking fool unaware of the vastness of heaven and earth.

”Ah ha, what did I hear?”

Song Yi tapped his ear, then laughed loudly towards two talents of the Song Family beside him, a weird anger palpable in his voice. Was Yun Xiao’s proposal looking down on his status as the top talent of the Song Family?

”Big brother, this kid is overestimating his abilities, you don’t need to make a move, let me handle him!”

Hearing Song Yi’s loud laugh, a talent from the Song Family swiftly stepped forward, a strong Meridian Qi bursting forth from him – a talent at the very peak of the Early Stage of Meridian Union Realm, even showing signs of breaking into the Mid-Stage of Meridian Union Realm.

Seeing who stepped forward, Li Yue couldn’t help but facepalm, thinking that the Song Family’s talents really knew no fear. At this moment, he truly wished to talk elaborately to these three from the Song Family about what happened to Mu Xuan and Fei Yan.

Yet, for some reason, seeing talents from the Song Family continuously step forward, Li Yue felt a subtle thrill in his heart, perhaps what he felt was the sentiment, ’misfortune shared is misfortune lessened’.

”Good, Song Zhen, let this boy understand the dignity of our Imperial City’s Song Family, which must not be insulted!”

Indeed, in Song Yi’s eyes, Yun Xiao’s proposal was an insult to the Song Zhen and looked down upon the Song Family. However, in all honesty, Yun Xiao did not mean this; his proposal was actually out of respect for the Song Family.

The Song Family talent called Song Zhen, affirmed by his older brother, instantly showed a confident expression on his face, walked straight up to Yun Xiao and coldly said: ”Are you ready?”

”Sigh, truly courting death!”

Seeing this, Yun Xiao shook his head and sighed. If it had been Song Yi from earlier, he might have been somewhat energized, but this Song Zhen, not yet broken through to the Mid-Stage of Meridian Union Realm, was simply uninteresting.

”Court death!”

Yun Xiao’s dismissive expression directly enraged Song Zhen, who was renowned as a talent from the foremost among the three great families of the Imperial City. Though not on par with the top talents from the three great sects of the Empire, he was not someone comparable rank cultivators could underestimate.

But Song Zhen clearly forgot that since Yun Xiao ranked first on the Spiritual Chick List, how could his power be merely Early Stage of Meridian Union Realm? At this moment, rage clouded his mind.

Strong Meridian Qi swept out, indeed adding a few degrees of momentum to Song Zhen, yet in the next instant, everyone’s eyes were almost popping out of their sockets.

As Song Zhen rushed forward, combining his potent Meridian Qi, he savagely kicked towards the chest of Yun Xiao, targeting a vulnerable spot, guessing that even if the kick landed properly, the boy from the Jade Pot Sect would either not die or be gravely injured.

Bang!

However, what everyone saw next was the young man in coarse clothing not moving his left leg, but suddenly extending his right leg, then clashing it against Song Zhen’s forcefully kicked thigh, causing a loud resounding noise.
