Nine Dragons Saint Ancestor

”Song Family, it’s finished too!”

Looking at Song Hao who had turned into a pile of ashes, the scene was dead silent, but numerous people were thinking this: even if those three elders of the Song family were still around, this once first family of the Imperial City was no longer capable of stirring up any waves.

With his own strength, wiping out three major families of the Imperial City within a month, the gazes everyone directed at that young man in coarse clothing were filled with a peculiar kind of adoration.

Especially the young cultivators from the Xuanyue Imperial City, whose blood was boiling; who wouldn’t want to shine brilliantly at such an age, and who wouldn’t want to, alone with a sword, force three great families into submission without a word of complaint, even making the Royal Family dare not confront him directly?

Even though everyone knew that after such significant incidents, the Xuanyue Royal Family would not settle down easily, at least for today, standing at the very peak were the Jade Pot Sect and that genius of the Jade Pot Sect: Yun Xiao!

Moreover, Yun Xiao, who destroyed the three major families of the Imperial City, and backed by the Jade Pot Sect, making even the Xuanyue Royal Family think twice before taking any action against him.

Poor chances were that even the entire Xuanyue Royal Family might fall into the same fate as the three major families, and the millennium lineage of the Xuans would be severed.

Some cultivators, who had witnessed the Countries Hidden Dragon Conference, were even more emotional, recalling that back then Yun Xiao had only the cultivation of early to middle stage of Meridian Union, and could only compete with young peers like Shen Wannian and Nie Qianqiu.

Who would have thought, in merely a short span of two or three months, that young champion of the Hidden Dragon Conference had grown to this extent, overpowering even the established experts of the Empire.

Thinking of the family heads of the three great families of the Imperial City, each possessing the peak cultivation of the Spirit Vein Realm, otherwise they wouldn’t have dominated the Xuanyue so freely.

But ultimately, they were all defeated by one person. Starting from today, Yun Xiao’s name would resound even louder than as a champion of the Hidden Dragon Conference, for he now stood at the pinnacle of the entire Hidden Dragon Continent, overlooking all beings.

”Teacher!”

Yun Xiao paid no mind to the thoughts of the bystanders; turning his head around, he performed a bow to Yu Shu, showing his deep respect for this teacher who treated him extremely well after his rebirth.

”You, my boy, truly are... truly are... ah, I don’t even know what to say!”

Taking two steps forward, Yu Shu clapped heavily on Yun Xiao’s shoulders. If he had been somewhat doubtful upon receiving the news before, witnessing the destruction of the Song Family today left him with no doubts.

Initially, Yu Shu and Lu Zhan thought that Yun Xiao, who was kidnapped by Shen Xingmou, would have slim chances of survival, given that she was a Heaven Rank Third Realm expert.

In their view, there was no possibility that Shen Xingmou would spare Yun Xiao, and under the grasp of such a strong figure, any attempt by Yun Xiao would probably be fruitless.

But in the end, not only did Yun Xiao survive, but he also greatly advanced in strength, breaking through to the late stage of the Spirit Vein Realm, and directly came to the Imperial City to annihilate the very three major families who had once besieged the Jade Pot Sect.

This was simply moving from the depths of despair to the clouds of happiness. Even for someone like Yu Shu, a Sect Master, he was so excited at this moment that he didn’t know what to say, showing just how shocking this matter was to him.

”Big Brother Yun Xiao, I knew you definitely wouldn’t die!”

While Yu Shu and many elders were feeling emotional, a voice from afar approached, turning Yun Xiao’s gaze immediately, only to see a chubby little kid running towards him — if not Ling Wan, then who?

If anyone had the strongest faith in Yun Xiao in the world, it was none other than Ling Wan. Moreover, being carefree, he probably never worried about Yun Xiao’s situation because he believed that his Big Brother Yun Xiao couldn’t have any problems he couldn’t solve.

”Ling Wan, Sister Mo Qing, you guys are here too!”

Yun Xiao lightly patted Ling Wan’s head, but turned his gaze to another spot, where a slender figure in black, intently staring at him, stood.

That young girl was naturally Mo Qing. Compared to Ling Wan, she had spent the past month neither eating nor sleeping well, always fearful of hearing the tragic news of Yun Xiao’s death someday.

Fortunately, the next news she heard about Yun Xiao was about his annihilation of the Wang and Guan families in the Imperial City. Thus, no matter what, Mo Qing had to follow her teacher and Sect Master to the Imperial City, just wanting to see that unforgettable figure once again.

But when Mo Qing saw that figure, whose appearance hadn’t changed a bit and who still carried a warm and jovial demeanor, she again didn’t know what to say. Perhaps in her heart, just having Yun Xiao alive was the best outcome?

”Alright, let’s not stand around here; let’s head to the Jade Pot Courtyard first!”

Seeing the few people seemed ready to chat here all day, Yu Shu waved his hand grandly, then disregarded the fervent gazes of the spectators, and walked straight in a certain direction.

The group soon disappeared in the East City of the Imperial City, but as the people from Jade Pot Sect vanished, the excitement in front of the Song Residence had just begun. Many people were reluctant to leave; both acquaintances and strangers avidly discussed the earlier events with great excitement.

Today, they witnessed the downfall of a mighty family and the rise of a powerful sect, as well as the ascent of a brilliant new star with a wildly ferocious momentum, shining incredibly brightly.

In the chatter of the crowd, the name ”Yun Xiao” could always be heard, encapsulating admiration, worship, enthusiasm, and jealousy all at once. But from today onward, no one would consider Yun Xiao merely a peerless genius of the younger generation.

It’s a joke; someone who could single-handedly destroy the three great families of the Xuanyue Imperial City had long stood at the very top of not only the Xuanyue Empire but the entire Hidden Dragon Continent.

At this moment, many felt sorrow for Qingshan Sect, one of the three great sects of the Xuanyue Empire, because besides the three great families of the Imperial City, they had also attacked Jade Pot Sect in the past.

Although Qingshan Sect’s overall strength was somewhat stronger than the three great families, Yun Xiao was not fighting alone now—with the help of the elders from Jade Pot Sect, annihilating Qingshan Sect wouldn’t take much effort, would it?

Moreover, after that battle, many knew that Jade Pot Sect had close ties with Luoyi Sect. It seemed that if Jade Pot Sect showed the slightest intent to act against Qingshan Sect, Luoyi Sect would definitely not stand idly by.

All these events, however, were unknown to Yun Xiao, who followed Yu Shu back to Jade Pot Courtyard, as he was almost drunk by now.

Honestly, since Jade Pot Sect was attacked by Qingshan Sect, the three great families, and the Royal Family, the situation at Jade Pot Courtyard had become somewhat embarrassing.

Even with the strong return of Yun Xiao, who wiped out the Wang and Guan families, the days at Jade Pot Courtyard became increasingly difficult due to the Royal Family’s Xuantie Army continuously searching day and night to capture the murderous criminal Yun Xiao.

But today, Jade Pot Courtyard no longer needed to feel so constrained. With the return of Yun Xiao who annihilated the three great families of the Imperial City, and Yu Shu leading the sect’s experts here, even the Royal Family probably wouldn’t dare to provoke them so easily, right?

Didn’t you see those Xuantie Army soldiers, who had been guarding Jade Pot Courtyard, watching Yun Xiao and Yu Shu coming in a mighty throng? They didn’t even dare to breathe loudly and just scattered in a sorry state.

The events that occurred at the Song Family in East City of the Imperial City have spread throughout the Xuanyue Imperial City like the wind, and it is believed that it will soon spread throughout the entire Xuanyue Empire.

Under such a powerful Jade Pot Sect, even the Xuanyue Royal Family wouldn’t dare to provoke them easily without absolute certainty. This was the time for Jade Pot Sect.

The banquet lasted until midnight, and many experts from Jade Pot Sect did not use their Meridian Qi to suppress the alcohol because they had waited too long for this day, and weren’t even sure if such a day would come again.

Back then, with the aid of Shen Xingmou, a Heavenly Rank Expert, she only promised to protect Jade Pot Sect for a month. After that month, Jade Pot Sect still needed to face the threats from Qingshan Sect, the Royal Family, and the three great families of the Imperial City, presenting a bleak future.

But with the strong return of Yun Xiao, with a single person and sword, he dramatically turned the situation around. Now with the three great families of the Imperial City annihilated, the Royal Family retreating, and Qingshan Sect far away and too busy to care for themselves, the resurgence of Jade Pot Sect was only a matter of time.

And all of this was brought about by that young man named Yun Xiao. Even Yu Shu felt secretly relieved in his heart that it was good he had not mistreated Yun Xiao. Otherwise, it would have taken who knows how long for the severely damaged Jade Pot Sect to recover so quickly.

As for Yun Xiao, the person involved, he was now sitting cross-legged in his room, restoring the Meridian Qi he had expended during the day. But soon after, his room door was knocked on.

”Yun Xiao!”

The voice of Sect Master Yu Shu came from outside, making Yun Xiao leap up from his bed. With a thought, he mused that his teacher coming so late at night must mean there is important business.

Creak!

The sound of the door opening was exceptionally clear in the quiet, dark night, and as Yun Xiao emerged, he saw two figures—one was Yu Shu, and the other was also no stranger to him.

”Brother Xuan Jing?”

A puzzled voice came from Yun Xiao because the youth standing before him was none other than the Second Prince of Xuanyue Empire, with whom he had formed a connection in the Meridian Treasure and who had saved his life back in Luocheng.

Although Yun Xiao had already repaid the life-saving grace by helping the prince remove the Yin Light Devouring Energy Worm, they hadn’t interacted much since. To his surprise, the Second Prince had now come to seek him out.

”Brother Yun Xiao, I hope you can save the Xuanyue Royal Family once again!”

As Yun Xiao’s words fell, the pale-faced youth before him, the noble Second Prince, suddenly kowtowed, his voice quivering with a sob.
