Nine Dragons Saint Ancestor

”Yun Xiao, why not let Little Dragon have a try too?”

Among the angry gaze of the white-haired elder, several people did not linger in the hall any longer but turned around and left the hall immediately. Just as they exited, Mo Qing spoke up.

Since this child is Yun Xiao’s beloved son, Mo Qing thought Yun Xiao would certainly not leave him behind to go to Tenglong Continent alone. But without a Boundary Crossing Token, one can’t even enter the Boundary Tower, let alone anything else.

Hearing Mo Qing’s words, even Ling Wan turned his head around. Although Little Dragon hadn’t been very friendly towards him during their journey, he truly grew fond of this adorable little nephew.

”He doesn’t need to!”

Yun Xiao didn’t elaborate further, as Little Dragon’s identity was somewhat special. He neither wanted others to know of his Strange Spirit identity nor wanted to sever ties with Shen Xingmou because of it.

For that girl who once called for his beating and killing, after a skin-to-skin encounter, he had developed an inexplicable affection for her and could no longer part with her.

Since Yun Xiao didn’t say anything, Mo Qing didn’t press the issue, thinking that with his intelligence, he must have some backup plans; it wasn’t something they needed to worry about.

After obtaining the Boundary Crossing Token, Yun Xiao and the others did not stay but went straight back to the entrance of the Boundary Tower. However, the Chongyun Empire Prince Pan Rulong, who had provoked them earlier, was no longer there.

It seemed Pan Rulong, having lost face and suffered severe injuries, couldn’t withstand the mocking gazes of the onlookers and naturally wouldn’t stay there any longer.

Or maybe after this incident, Pan Rulong’s arrogance and jealousy would be somewhat curbed. Who knows if this may help him in his trial at the Boundary Tower?

Yun Xiao didn’t think too much about these things. Under the fervent gazes of the crowd, he pointed towards the gate of the Boundary Tower, saying, ”It seems the Boundary Tower is a special space. Even if we enter it, we won’t be together. Why don’t you go first!”

Yun Xiao gently patted Little Dragon’s head. He wouldn’t put Little Dragon into his Waist Storage in front of such a crowd, as it would be too astonishing. Therefore, he made this remark.

”Big Brother Yun Xiao, once you get to Tenglong Continent, remember to come find me at Xuanyin Hall!”

Seeing that their separation was imminent, Ling Wan finally appeared somewhat melancholic. After stating this, he turned his head and said, ”And you, little guy, don’t forget about your Uncle Ling Wan!”

”Hmph, fatty, if you don’t practice diligently, you fall too far behind in cultivation, Daddy and I won’t hang out with you anymore!”

Little Dragon was as disdainful as ever. After his cold snort, Ling Wan rushed forward, pinched his cheek hard, then resolutely turned around, took big strides forward, and finally vanished inside the Boundary Tower’s gate.

”Yun Xiao, your Meridian Refining Technique is so powerful. You should go to the Tenglong Continent Meridian Refining Master Association, right?”

Mo Qing looked somewhat sad. In truth, with Little Dragon around, she had been suppressing her feelings for Yun Xiao. But at this moment of parting, she couldn’t help but say a bit more.

”Go on, go on!”

Before Yun Xiao could speak, Little Dragon was already urging on, impatiently. For some reason, he never had much affection for this woman who always followed Daddy around, always feeling that she posed a huge threat to his mother.

Slap!

”Impolite!”

However, just as Little Dragon finished speaking, he received a heavy slap on the back of his head, causing him to grimace in pain but not daring to confront Yun Xiao. He just glared angrily at Mo Qing, as if getting slapped was all this woman’s fault.

”Don’t worry, I’ll come to see you when I have the chance!”

Yun Xiao held a good impression of this young girl who had looked after him ever since he joined Jade Pot Sect. He could clearly feel Mo Qing’s feelings for him, but his heart already occupied by Shen Xingmou, he could only make such a promise.

”You have my word!”

Having gotten the answer she wanted, Mo Qing became inexplicably happier, even though she knew Yun Xiao could not be with her forever. After staring at Yun Xiao and saying four words, she didn’t say anything further and quickly turned around, disappearing into the Boundary Tower’s gate.

”Chi Yan, your turn!”

Seeing that Mo Qing and Ling Wan had entered the Boundary Tower, Yun Xiao gave a shake of his shoulder, and then Fire Cloud Rat Chi Yan swiftly flew out. Because it carried the scent of the Boundary Crossing Token, it could naturally enter the Boundary Tower easily.

”Squeak!”

In the instant before disappearing beyond the gate, Chi Yan turned back, giving Yun Xiao a deep look from its tiny mouse eyes and emitting a sharp squeak.

Others naturally couldn’t understand the language of Vein Demons, but Yun Xiao, who had been with Chi Yan for so many years, immediately understood that this little guy meant the same as Spiritual Pill Moqing—they both wanted Yun Xiao not to forget them, hoping for a day of reunion on Tenglong Continent.

As companions left one after another, even Yun Xiao, with his steadfast nature, couldn’t help feeling somewhat lost, staring blankly at the doors of the Boundary Tower, motionless for a long while.

”Daddy, you still have me!”

Just as Yun Xiao was feeling melancholic, a child’s tender voice suddenly rang out beside him; when he looked down, the little one said earnestly, ”Don’t worry, Daddy, both Xiao Wu and I will always stay by your side!”

The ”Xiao Wu” that Little Dragon referred to was naturally the Golden Snake Worm which claimed to be a Five-Clawed Golden Dragon. But in all honesty, unless for some special reason, a noble Five-Clawed Golden Dragon wouldn’t possibly follow a young boy from the Hidden Dragon Continent.

”Hmph!”

Even in Yun Xiao’s mind, it seemed as if a disdainful snort resounded—undeniably, that was the Golden Snake Worm expressing its discontent.

Yun Xiao believed that fortunately since it was Little Dragon who spoke these words, the Golden Snake Worm wouldn’t dare to openly contradict him. If it had been Yun Xiao himself, a disdainful sneer would have surely followed immediately.

Distracted by Little Dragon, Yun Xiao’s mood somewhat recovered. He took Little Dragon’s small hand and in the blink of an eye they both disappeared from sight, leaving the onlookers puzzled. Could this chosen one not be here to take the Boundary Tower test and journey to the Tenglong Continent?

However, merely moments passed before the figure in the coarse attire reappeared in front of everyone, only this time Yun Xiao was without the delicate child.

No one knew where the child had gone. As confusion arose among the crowd, Yun Xiao strode forward and vanished behind the doors of the Boundary Tower in the blink of an eye.

”Goodness knows what kinds of waves that chosen son will stir up after reaching the Tenglong Continent.”

Watching Yun Xiao’s vanishing figure, many were filled with emotions. In fact, Yun Xiao had only appeared before them for about a year, which was after the end of the Countries Hidden Dragon Conference.

Yet, it was during these short few years that the young man named Yun Xiao not only orchestrated a power shift within the Xuanyue Empire but also turned the Hidden Dragon Continent upside down, making himself a household name.

People had no doubt that Yun Xiao would pass the tests of the Boundary Tower. Perhaps not long from now, the high-rank cultivators from the Tenglong Continent would also feel some notable influences due to Yun Xiao’s arrival.

”This scourge has finally left!”

Meanwhile, other cultivators from the Hidden Dragon Continent heaved a sigh of relief. The overwhelming presence of Yun Xiao was like a mountain weighing down on their heads or a sharp sword hanging above, never knowing when it might fall and crush them to pieces or split them in two.

Do you remember Pan Rulong from before? Simply because he failed to recognize Yun Xiao, not only did he suffer severe injuries, but he was also forced to apologize in humiliation and scuttle away without showing his face, utterly disheveled.

Because you never know when you might accidentally offend such a figure, and when that happens, not just you, but also the sect, family, and even the royal family behind you, could not withstand the wrath of that chosen son.

So, Yun Xiao’s departure left some people reflecting, others jubilant, as if this chosen son’s leaving could somehow bring a peaceful and prosperous era to the Hidden Dragon Continent.

However, the struggle for power on the Continent never ceased; even without Yun Xiao, the grievances among empires, families, and sects would not change one bit. Bloody tragedy would still unfold continuously.

It’s just that Yun Xiao’s power was too immense, disrupting the balance of the Hidden Dragon Continent, and introducing countless variables to the evenly matched conflicts, leaving most people unaccustomed, for a time being.

Swoosh!

Just as people felt contemplative or elated, a sound of rushing wind suddenly arrived, followed by the appearance of a graceful figure in their sight.

”Eh? Isn’t that Liu Hanyi, the prodigy girl from Luoyi Sect of the Xuanyue Empire?”

Some cultivators, who had paid attention to the Countries Hidden Dragon Conference, recognized the figure immediately since Liu Hanyi was also a top-eight contender, and her profile was exceedingly high.

And given that Liu Hanyi came from the Xuanyue Empire and was rumored to have a good relationship with the chosen son Yun Xiao, that period had brought Luoyi Sect and herself even more attention.

Swoosh!

While everyone was discussing, another elegant figure in light red appeared before the Boundary Tower, and surprisingly, this figure was no stranger to them either.

”Daughter of the Sect Master of Lingyun Sect: Xu Hongzhuang!”

Someone exclaimed in shock. Another cultivator who had been highly invested in the Countries Hidden Dragon Conference recognized her. This prodigy girl named Xu Hongzhuang ranked even higher than Liu Hanyi in the Conference.

The sudden appearance of Xu Hongzhuang, who noticed Liu Hanyi, prompted mutual recognition. After exchanging a look, without saying much, they entered the Boundary Tower one after another.

”Yun Xiao, will there be a day when we meet again on the Tenglong Continent?”

This was the mutual thought of the two ladies as they stepped into the Boundary Tower; it seemed that neither could forget the young man who had left such a distinctive impression on them.
