Nine Dragons Saint Ancestor

Mo Qing had a physical condition since childhood, which Lu Zhan was deeply aware of. After Yun Xiao employed his techniques that time, he miraculously allowed her to break through directly, marking the first great favor.

When Yun Xiao returned to the Jade Pot Courtyard some time ago, he personally helped Mo Qing advance to the late stage of the Meridian Union Realm. If not for him, how could she have reached this step?

Since accepting Ling Wan as his direct disciple, Lu Zhan naturally investigated this disciple’s origins. This investigation revealed Ling Wan’s tragic background since childhood, which could no longer be concealed.

In the Zhao Family, apart from his mother, even his biological father treated him as a monster. His two elder brothers were even more calculating, intending to put him to death.

Lu Zhan could infer from these clues that if it weren’t for Yun Xiao, Ling Wan might not only have been unable to join the Jade Pot Sect, but he might have also been killed by his own brothers in the Jade Pot Mountain.

Lu Zhan even speculated that Ling Wan’s unique ”flesh ball” physique might also have been controlled by Yun Xiao using certain methods. Otherwise, this third son of the Zhao Family would still be that painful monster, and could never have achieved his current glory.

Now, with one disciple entering the top sixteen and another incredibly breaking into the top eight, how could Lu Zhan not be emotional or grateful toward Yun Xiao?

As Lu Zhan spoke, the elders from the Medical Pulse and others did not refute him, but the expressions of members from the Poison Vein, including Fu Du and Mo Li, looked quite unpleasant.

”Damn it, Yun Xiao, if it weren’t for you, standing there now would be my pupil, Fu Du!”

It seemed that Fu Du was still holding a grudge over Yun Xiao destroying his three major disciples before. He seemed to forget that even if Yue Qi and Bi Luo could attend the Countries Hidden Dragon Conference, achieving such results would likely be a pipe dream.

”Everyone!”

Just as everyone was discussing this round of competition, a loud voice already came from the north, and in the midst of the noise, everyone heard it clearly.

As people turned their heads, it turned out that the speaker was King Xuan Haoran of the Xuanyue Country. Although half-stepping into the Earth Rank level he wasn’t comparable to the big shots from the Tenglong Continent, he still had some prestige in the Hidden Dragon Continent.

”Today’s competition ends here. Rest for the night, and the second round of the final battle will start early tomorrow!”

Xuan Haoran did not dawdle. After announcing this rule, many nodded in agreement. Since some individuals just had not too easy victories, if they were to fight again, they probably wouldn’t be able to perform at their full strength.

Although a night’s rest might not restore them to peak condition, it was nonetheless a humane rule, and everyone had no objections and went about their own business.

Of course, the cultivators who occupied good positions around the square wouldn’t leave, as it would not be easy to find such good spots tomorrow if they left now.

For super geniuses like Yun Xiao and Mo Qing who had broken into the top eight, naturally, they had no such worries. Upon reuniting with the elders of the Jade Pot Sect, they all returned to the Jade Pot Courtyard in high spirits.

Back at the Courtyard, the people of the Jade Pot Sect had a lively time, even more festive than the New Year. The Sect Master Yu Shu, without hesitation, spread a banquet throughout the courtyard, and if not for considering the important battle Yun Xiao and Mo Qing had tomorrow, he would have surely insisted on not stopping the celebration until they were thoroughly inebriated.

This festivity lasted until the night, and when the banquet dispersed, an important guest arrived at the Jade Pot Courtyard, causing Yu Shu and the elders to welcome them without any neglect.

”Miss Xue graces our Jade Pot Courtyard, may I inquire the reason for your visit?”

As Yu Shu and the many elders looked at the girl who seemed somewhat pale and whose cultivation was only at the early stage of the Meridian Rushing Realm, they felt both reverently nervous and surprisingly honored, yet still asked.

The reason for their caution stemmed from the fact that this girl was none other than the girl who had continuously sat on the northern high platform of the central square, hailing from Tenglong Continent.

During the more than a month of the Hidden Dragon Conference, Yu Shu and his colleagues had naturally clarified the identities of those nine significant figures from the Tenglong Continent.

Before them, this Miss was from the top power Xuanyin Hall of the Tenglong Continent and was the beloved only daughter of the Xuanyin Palace Master. Although her cultivation was very low, her status was much higher than those of the elders from places like Impermanence Island and Firewood Valley.

Before, like everyone else, Yu Shu and his peers had guessed the true purpose of Miss Xue’s descent to the Lower Realm, but they hadn’t expected that right after the first round of the final battle ended, this noble person would visit the Jade Pot Sect uninvited, how could they not feel a strange sensation?

”Is Yun Xiao here? I wish to see him!”

Xue Ningxiang disregarded the respectful and constrained stance of Yu Shu and the others, directly asking her question. But when everyone serviceName heard that deeply familiar name, all felt a tremor in their hearts.

”Could it be that Yun Xiao has some connection with the Xuanyin Palace from the Tenglong Continent?”

This was the first thought in the minds of Yu Shu and the other Great Elders, and figures like Fu Du and Mo Li seemed to faintly grasp a clue, albeit somewhat blurred.

After joining the Jade Pot Sect, whether it be the Meridian Refining Technique or the Meridian Qi combat effectiveness, Yun Xiao far surpassed those so-called veteran geniuses of the sect.

Moreover, in the first year on the Spiritual Chick Battle List, he claimed the title of the number one youth of the Jade Pot Sect and even strongly defeated Crown Prince Nie Qianqiu of Lingtian Empire, entering the top eight finalists of the Hidden Dragon Conference.

Such a series of performances did not seem to befit someone from a minor Shang Family in Moon Bow City, particularly some meridian refining methods and Meridian Techniques were inconceivably advanced, to the extent that even the Sect Master, Yu Shu, was clueless.

Thus it stands to reason that Yun Xiao must have some unknown secrets. Could Xuanyin Palace from the Tenglong Continent be Yun Xiao’s greatest backing?

”Does Miss Xue know Yun Xiao?”

Before Yu Shu could speak, Fu Du, who thought of something, couldn’t help but interject to ask, not clarifying this matter might deeply impact his plans in the future.

Hearing Fu Du’s questions, Xue Ningxiang slightly frowned, causing the hearts of the strong figures in Jade Pot Sect to tremble fiercely, secretly fearing if Fu Du’s comment could be inappropriate. Offending Miss Xue could lead to serious trouble.

In fact, the reason Xue Ningxiang frowned was that she did not want to admit not knowing Yun Xiao, yet they truly did not know each other, and lying was not her strong suit.

”What, is it inconvenient? Then I’ll come again tomorrow!”

Thus, Xue Ningxiang chose not to answer, but instead replied with a frown, seemingly truly wanting to turn around and leave.

This action only scared everyone in the Jade Pot Sect even more. Yu Shu immediately glared harshly at Fu Du, making the Second Elder feel wronged, questioning if asking just one thing warranted such a reaction.

”No no no, Miss Xue, please sit for a moment longer, I will have someone invite Yun Xiao over right away!”

Seeing Xue Ningxiang about to turn around, Yu Shu glared at Fu Du and quickly signaled Su He with his eyes. After the latter left the hall, he respectfully ushered Xue Ningxiang to the seat of honor.

As for Yu Shu’s enthusiasm, Xue Ningxiang turned a blind eye, but her hands holding the tea cup gently shook, her beautiful eyes glittering, pondering something unknown.

Since she wasn’t speaking, and with Fu Du’s precedent, no one in Jade Pot Sect dared further inquire, afraid any word might upset her and bring disaster upon the sect.

Even though the Jade Pot Sect is one of the top three sects in Xuanyue Empire and fairly strong on the Hidden Dragon Continent, compared to the forces from the Tenglong Continent, it really doesn’t hold much weight.

Especially Xuanyin Palace, which is among the top ranks in Tenglong Continent, even though the strong practitioners present could easily kill Xue Ningxiang with a flick, under this young girl’s aura, they all felt overwhelmingly less imposing.

Step, step, step!

Within this strange and solemn atmosphere, the sound of footsteps finally echoed from the entrance, followed by two figures stepping in, led by the Sixth Elder, Su He.

As for the young figure beside Su He, it was naturally Yun Xiao, although he looked rather displeased as he was just studying a powerful ancient Meridian Technique, readying for future challenges, only to be interrupted by Su He.

In fact, before starting his cultivation, Yun Xiao had instructed not to be disturbed, and given his status within the Jade Pot Sect, unless it was something crucial, indeed no one dared disturb him.

As soon as Yun Xiao saw it was Su He, he managed to suppress the anger in his heart, showing respect for the Elder of the Medical Pulse lineage.

Moreover, Yun Xiao knew Su He wouldn’t interrupt him at this time without a significant reason, yet when he heard about Miss Xue of Xuanyin Palace from Tenglong Continent visiting, a hint of confusion flashed through his eyes.

Because Yun Xiao knew clearly, whether in his previous life as Long Xiao Battle God or in this rebirth as Yun Xiao, he had no connection with the various forces of Tenglong Continent, let alone this young lady from Xuanyin Palace.

Yun Xiao initially did not want to interrupt his cultivation, but considering the pressure Xuanyin Palace could exert on the Jade Pot Sect, he didn’t want his teachers and the Medical Pulse Elders to face difficulties, so he reluctantly came.

Upon entering the hall, the first thing Yun Xiao saw was Miss Xue of the Xue Family at the head position, and with that glance, he seemed to somewhat understand the cause and effect.

Seeing Yun Xiao’s arrival, Xue Ningxiang’s eyes never left the young man. Although she had seen him several times before, she had never observed him from such a close distance. It was a distinctly different feeling.

”Is this my lifesaver, Xue Ningxiang?”
